چکیده
Chromosomal translocations in people who have lived in houses contaminated with radiation were substantially raised compared with controls. Retrospective biological dosimetry indicated cumulative exposures less than 1.0 Gy, which were lower than values derived from physical measurements.

Integration of genotoxicity and population genetic analyses in kangaroo rats (Dipodomys merriami) exposed to radionuclide contamination at the Nevada Test Site, USA.
We examined effects of radionuclide exposure at two atomic blast sites on kangaroo rats (Dipodomys merriami) at the Nevada Test Site, Nevada, USA, using genotoxicity and population genetic analyses. We assessed chromosome damage by micronucleus and flow cytometric assays and genetic variation by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analyses. The RAPD analysis ...

Introduction: Exposure to ionizing radiation as a result of diagnostic, treatment and occupational reasons, has created a remarkable range of cytogenetic damage in the DNA, as the first and main goal of ionizing radiation. The aim of this study is to assess the chromosomal damage in medical radiotherapy workers and its association with effective parameters such as age, sex, duration of employme...

متن کاملIncreased chromosome translocations and aneuploidy in peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients having revision arthroplasty of the hip.
The long-term biological effects of wear debris are unknown. We have investigated whether there is any evidence of cumulative mutagenic damage in peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients undergoing revision arthroplasty of predominantly metal-on-plastic total hip replacements compared with those at primary arthroplasty. There was a threefold increase in aneuploidy and a twofold increase in chro...

Background: Sperm chromatin insufficiencies leading to low sperm count and quality, infertility and transmission of chromosomal microdeletion and aneuploidies to next generations can be due to exposure to environmental pollutions, chemicals and natural or manmade ionizing radiation. In this project which has continued for more than 10 years and is unique in many technical aspects in Iran and in...
