Biodosimetry: chromosome aberration in lymphocytes and electron paramagnetic resonance in tooth enamel from atomic bomb survivors.
نویسندگان
چکیده
One hundred enamel samples isolated from extracted teeth donated by atomic bomb survivors were subjected to free radical measurement by means of electron paramagnetic resonance (ESR). Results comparing ESR with the chromosome aberration frequency in lymphocytes of the tooth donors, and with the physically estimated DS86 dose suggested that ESR data correlated more closely with chromosome data than with the estimated DS86 doses, probably because DS86 may depend on erroneous memory in some cases.

(41)Ca in tooth enamel. Part I: a biological signature of neutron exposure in atomic bomb survivors.
The detection of (41)Ca atoms in tooth enamel using accelerator mass spectrometry is suggested as a method capable of reconstructing thermal neutron exposures from atomic bomb survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In general, (41)Ca atoms are produced via thermal neutron capture by stable (40)Ca. Thus any (41)Ca atoms present in the tooth enamel of the survivors would be due to neutron exposure ...
متن کاملContamination from possible solar light exposures in ESR dosimetry using human tooth enamel.
Electron spin resonance (ESR) measurement data of 98 teeth from atomic-bomb survivors who received various radiation doses were analyzed in terms of possible solar light exposure by tooth position. Each tooth was divided into buccal and lingual parts for independent ESR measurement. We found that average buccal doses were larger than their corresponding lingual doses by 0.48 +/- 0.30 Gy (first ...
متن کامل(41)Ca in Tooth Enamel. Part II: A means for retrospective biological neutron dosimetry in atomic bomb survivors.
(41)Ca is produced mainly by absorption of low-energy neutrons on stable (40)Ca. We used accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) to measure (41)Ca in enamel of 16 teeth from 13 atomic bomb survivors who were exposed to the bomb within 1.2 km from the hypocenter in Hiroshima. In our accompanying paper (Wallner et al., Radiat. Res. 174, 000-000, 2010), we reported that the background-corrected (41)Ca...
متن کاملChromosome analysis of bone marrow fibroblast colony-forming cells (CFU-F) in heavily exposed atomic bomb survivors.
A chromosome analysis was performed on cultured bone marrow fibroblasts (CFU-F) from two atomic bomb survivors exposed within 1 km of the hypocenter, whose estimated radiation dose is 357 rad and 365 rad respectively. In CFU-F of both cases, stable types of chromosome aberrations were detected. The rate of these chromosome aberrations related well to the chromosome aberration rate of peripheral...
متن کاملBiological dosimetry of atomic bomb survivors exposed within 500 meters from the hypocenter and the health consequences.
Seventy-eight atomic bomb survivors were examined for biological dosimetry using chromosome abnormality. They had been exposed within 500 meters from the hypocenter in heavily shielded conditions and were found from NHK-RIRBM joint study carried out from 1966 to 1971. Estimation of the exposure doses for these survivors was made under the following steps; 1) calculation by DS86 system (physical...
