NKS-158, Nuclear risks from atmospheric dispersion over Northern Europe. Final report of the NKS-B project NordRisk
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of the 2005-06 NKS-B NordRisk project has been to present practical methods for probabilistic risk assessment from long-range atmospheric transport and deposition of radioactive material. In this project an atlas of long-range atmospheric dispersion and deposition patterns derived from archived numerical weather prediction (NWP) model data coupled to an atmospheric dispersion model has been produced, and a PC-based software tool has been developed, based on a simplified description of the long-term, long-range atmospheric dispersion and deposition. The atlas and the software tool may allow for a rapid, first assessment of the risks following a nuclear emergency, when detailed information on the long-range atmospheric dispersion and deposition is not available

Systemic hypoxia affects exercise-mediated antitumor cytotoxicity of natural killer cells.
Natural killer cells (NKs) are important to the clearance of transformed cells. This investigation elucidates how systemic hypoxia influences mobilization of the NK subsets and cytotoxicity of NKs to nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells (NPCs) during exercise. Sixteen sedentary men performed six distinct experimental tests in an air-conditioned normobaric hypoxia chamber: high-intensity exercise [HE;...
متن کاملCD123 target validation and preclinical evaluation of ADCC activity of anti-CD123 antibody CSL362 in combination with NKs from AML patients in remission
Despite the heterogeneity of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), overexpression of the interleukin-3 receptor-α (CD123) on both the more differentiated leukemic blast and leukemic stem cells (LSCs) provides a therapeutic target for antibody treatment. Here we present data on the potential clinical activity of the monoclonal antibody CSL362, which binds to CD123 with high affinity. We first validated ...

Background: There are many types of leukocytes reside in subcutaneous adipose tissue, and among them, Natural Killer cells (NKs) comprise a major part. We show that the NK cells that reside in the subcutaneous adipose tissue (ADNKs) of the abdominal region found with phenotypic differences from the NKs circulating in the peripheral blood (PBNKs). Methods: In this experimental survey flow cytom...
متن کاملHypoxic exercise training promotes antitumour cytotoxicity of natural killer cells in young men.
The cytotoxic functions of NKs (natural killer cells) are critical in enabling the immune system to cope efficiently with malignancy. In the present study, we compared how various exercise regimens without/with hypoxia influence phenotypic characteristics of NK subsets and cytotoxicity of NKs to NPCs (nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells). A total of 60 sedentary males were randomly divided into five...
