Performance of the DoPET system for C irradiation induced β-activity
نویسندگان
چکیده
The DoPET project (Dosimetry with a Positron Emission Tomograph) funded by INFN aims to realize an inbeam PET system dedicated [1]. The system has been validated through measurements on PMMA phantoms, in the perspective of clinical application in proton therapy monitoring at CATANA. Differences in proton-induced activity distribution down to 1 mm along the proton range have been appreciated [2]. In order to explore a wider range of application of the DoPET prototype, we performed a set of acquistions after C irradiations at the hadrontherapy facility at GSI. Preliminary comparison with the results of the in-beam PET available at GSI [3] is reported below.

Hydroxytyrosol, a natural antioxidant from olive oil, prevents protein damage induced by long-wave ultraviolet radiation in melanoma cells.
Previous studies showed that long-wave ultraviolet (UVA) radiation induces severe skin damage through the generation of reactive oxygen species and the depletion of endogenous antioxidant systems. Recent results from our laboratory indicate a dramatic increase of both lipid peroxidation products (TBARS) and abnormal L-isoaspartyl residues, marker of protein damage, in UVA-irradiated human melan...

Objective Indiscriminate use of synthetic pyrethroid insecticides, Cypermethrin (Cyp) and Deltamethrin (Del) have been reported to cause system toxicity in mammals including humans. The dietary antioxidants protects tissues and organs against insecticides/xenobiotic induced damage. In present study, we evaluated the effect of exposure of Cyp and Del and possible protective roles of curcumin and...
متن کاملGamma irradiation induced surface modification of silk fabrics for antibacterial application
Silk fabrics were modified by a treatment of silver nitrate solution (AgNO3) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a stabilizer then exposure to γ-irradiation to create antibacterial properties. Effects of the absorbed dose on treated fabrics were investigated. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were used to confirm the presence of silver nanoparticles (AgNP...
