چکیده
Atomic bomb/Leukemia/Threshold/FAB classification/Chromosome Characteristic features of leukemia among atomic bomb survivors were studied. The ratio of a single leukemia type to all leukemias was highest for CML in Hiroshima, and the occurrence of CML was thought to be most characteristic for atomic bomb radiation induced leukemia. In the distribution of AML subtypes of FAB classification, there was no M3 cases in 1Gy or more group, although several atypical AML cases of survivors were observed. Chromosome study was conducted using colony forming cells induced by hemopoietic stem cells of peripheral blood of proximal survivors. Same chromosome aberrations were observed in colony forming cells and peripheral blood of proximal survivors.

متن کاملMortality of A-bomb Survivors in Nagasaki and Hiroshima
INTRODUCTION In 1945, two atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki for the first time in human history. Since 1945, many studies (1,2,3,4) have been performed on the effects of the atomic bomb radiation, for example, the physical damage and medical studies of the atomic bomb survivors and so on. In 1972, the Scientific Data Center for the Atomic Bomb Disaster (renamed as the Division...
