چکیده
munocompromised host, interaction between the microfloTa and the patient", again organized together with the Gnotobiotic Project GToup of EORTC. I am feeling somewhat like an outsider as I have to start from quite a different point of view than my colleagues, but I hope that 1 will be in touch with the general topic at the end. The reaction of bone marrow to irradiation has been investigated over a long period of time, and we know a lot of experimental data concerning immune suppression caused by irradiation in great detail. Moreover, clinicians are experienced in estimating the infection risks for patients treated with radiotherapy, Under these

CIMETIDINE CAN MODIFY THE EFFECTS OF WHOLE BODY \'Y-IRRADIATION ON LY MPHOHEM ATOPOIETIC SYSTEM
The hematopoietic syndrome is anticipated when a dose of radiation greater than 100 cGy is received. The resulting clinical situation is life-threatening because of opportunistic infections and gradual decline in immune competency due to irradiation. Because of evidence of a possible immunomodulatory role for cimetidine, an antagonist of histamine H2 receptors, we studied the effects of thi...
متن کاملRheological properties of blood after whole body gamma-irradiation
Background: The study of rheological properties of blood has special interest since it is a circulating fluid exposed to shear rates during its life time. This work aims to investigate the influence of whole body gamma irradiation on the rheological properties of rat’s blood. The applied shear rate was from 12 to 375 s-1. Low shear viscosity (up to 100 s-1) depends mainly on the erythroc...
متن کاملChanges in the gastric ghrelin concentration after whole-abdominal irradiation in rats: Is this related to the radiation-induced anorexia and weight loss?
Background: Ghrelin is a hormone related to food intake in rodents and humans, mainly produced in stomach. This study aimed to determine the effect of irradiation on ghrelin concentration in the gastric mucosa of rats. Materials and Methods : Twenty-five rats were exposed to 15 Gy of whole-abdominal irradiation. Gastric tissue samples were obtained 1, 3, 7, 30, and 90 days after irradiation. Fi...
متن کاملEffects of local and whole body irradiation on appearance of osteoclasts during wound healing of tooth extraction sockets in rats.
We examined effects of local and whole body irradiation before tooth extraction on appearance and differentiation of osteoclasts in the alveolar bone of rat maxillary first molars. Wistar rats weighting 100 g were divided into three groups: non-irradiation group, local irradiation group, and whole body irradiation group. In the local irradiation group, a field made with lead blocks was placed o...
متن کاملNanocurcumin as a radioprotective agent against radiation-induced mortality in mice
Objective(s): Curcumin, a natural plant product, is commonly known as wonder drug of life, but the poor bioavailability of its free form has hindered its clinical development. The aim of the present study was to investigate the radioprotective effect of nanocurcumin on survival of mice under whole body X-ray irradiation. Materials and Methods: The Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) mice ra...
متن کاملProtective Effect of Low Dose Melatonin on Radiation-Induced Damage to Rat Liver
Background: Melatonin is a free radical scavenger. It has also antioxidant effects through its stimulatory actions on antioxidant system. Objective: We conducted this study to examine the effect of different oral doses of melatonin on liver tissue. Methods: We used 42 rats—6 rats in each group. Group I served as the control group; group II rats were pretreated with only melatonin; group III w...
