RÉSUMÉ (MuriLiscript recrivrd 12 July 2002, nccrptrd 14 Novemhrr 2002) Following a request from the Permanent Secretary of the French Commission for Artificial Radiodement3 (CIREA) engaged to investigate a request for a licence related to a new scintigraphy unit dedicated to equidae, a dosimetric assessment concerning the personnel attending the examination was carried out. This scintigraphy unit depends on the Goustranville Centre for lmaging and Research on the Locomotive Diseases of Equidae (CIRALE) in the Calvados region. The dosimetric assessment was carried out for the different operators during the successive stages of the scintigraphic examination. Assuming 150 examinations per year, the annual equivalent dose to the fingers skin is 150 mSv maximum for the technologist and 2 mSv for the veterinary surgeon; the annual effective dose ranges from 0.15 to 0.45 mSv, depending on the operators. Scintigraphie équine : estimation de la dose reçue par le personnel. Suite à une demande du Secrétariat permanent de la Commission interministérielle des radioéléments artificiels (CIREA) amené à instruire une demande d’autorisation relative a une nouvelle installation dédiée à la scintigraphie équine, une évalualion dosimétrique concernant l e personnel présent lors de l’examen a été réalisée. Cette installation dépend du Centre d’imagerie et de recherche sur les affections locomotrices des équidés (CIRALE) situé à Goustranville dans le Calvados. L’évaluation dosimétrique a été réalisée pour les différents opérateurs au cours des étapes successives de l’examen scintigraphique. En prenant l’hypothèse de 150 examens par an, l’équivalent de dose annuel i la peau des doigts est au maximum de 150 mSv pour le manipulateur et de 2 mSv pour l e vétérinaire ; la dose efficace annuelle est quant à elle comprise entre 0,15 et 0,45 mSv selon les opérateurs.

Radioprotective effect of thymol against salivary glands dysfunction induced by ionizing radiation in rats

The aim of this study was to investigate the radioprotective effect of thymol as a natural product against salivary glands dysfunction induced by ionizing radiation in rats. The rats were treated with thymol at dose of 50 mg/Kg before exposure to radiation at dose 15Gy. Salivary gland function was evaluated with radioisotope scintigraphy and then salivary gland to background counts ratio was ca...
