Microbeam irradiation facilities for radiobiology in Japan and China.

چکیده
In order to study the radiobiological effects of low dose radiation, microbeam irradiation facilities have been developed in the world. This type of facilities now becomes an essential tool for studying bystander effects and relating signaling phenomena in cells or tissues. This review introduces you available microbeam facilities in Japan and in China, to promote radiobiology using microbeam probe and to encourage collaborative research between radiobiologists interested in using microbeam in Japan and in China.

50 Years of the Radiological Research Accelerator Facility (RARAF).
The Radiological Research Accelerator Facility (RARAF) is in its 50th year of operation. It was commissioned on April 1, 1967 as a collaboration between the Radiological Research Laboratory (RRL) of Columbia University, and members of the Medical Research Center of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). It was initially funded as a user facility for radiobiology and radiological physics, concent...
متن کاملPreliminary Results of the Beam Control and Detection of the Kirams Electron Microbeam System
The use of microbeam techniques in radiobiology dates back to the 1920’s with the work of Tschachotin who irradiated the spawn of sea urchins and frogs with X-ray and ultraviolet light. In 1953, Zirkle and Bloom designed and constructed a microbeam facility [1] that utilized a 2 MeV proton beam of 2.5 m in diameter. Their facility, however, did not allow counting the radiation particles that en...
متن کاملMicrobeam irradiation to study hypersensitive response of A549 NSCLC cells after low-dose irradiation with low-Let protons
Over the past decade, low dose effects of ionising radiation have been highlighted and studied, example include low dose hyper-radiosensitivity (HRS), bystander effect, and adaptive responses. Although these effects are largely reported after X-ray irradiation, it is of great interest to also study them after charged particle irradiation. Such studies can inform a range of separate but interlin...
متن کاملConsequences of cytoplasmic irradiation: studies from microbeam.
The prevailing dogma for radiation biology is that genotoxic effects of ionizing radiation such as mutations and carcinogenesis are attributed mainly to direct damage to the nucleus. However, with the development of microbeam that can target precise positions inside the cells, accumulating evidences have shown that energy deposit by radiation in nuclear DNA is not required to trigger the damage...
متن کاملInduction of cancer stem-like cells in A549 cells after exposure to carbon ions and X-rays
Background: Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) play a crucial role in the initiation, progression, and recurrence of cancer. Evidence indicates that the high linear energy transfer (LET) carbon ion beam is more effective against CSCs than the conventional X-ray beam. Carbon ion radiotherapy is considered as a promising cancer strategy, however, information about whether, or not, new CSCs are induced...
