Abstract:

Introduction: Radiotherapy is still one of the main options for cancer treatment but it is in association with damage to normal cells as well as the tumor cells. To reduce the injury in normal cells we have evaluated the effect of 528 hertz sound after X irradiation in peripheral blood lymphocytes. Materials and Methods: in this study, peripheral blood was obtained from 25 healthy volunteers and blood lymphocytes were separated and divided into 4 groups: Ι) Control group, П) Radiation group, Ш) Radiation + Sound group ΙV) Sound group. To measure radiation effect on DNA, nuclear (DNA) damage rate was evaluated in all groups by the use of the comet assay. Results: The obtained data revealed that DNA damage rate in radiation group (190±45) is significantly higher than control (137±32), Sound (152±29). But, the difference of DNA damage in control with sound and also radiation+sound groups was not statistically significant.   Conclusion: The results indicating that 528 hertz sound could induce radiation damage but when it will be combined with X radiation, the DNA damages of X-rays in peripheral blood lymphocytes is not significantly different with control groups which indicate modulation of DNA damages and addresses the needs for further studies.

Effects of 35 Hz, 2 mT Magnetic Field on Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes of Human In Vitro and Rat In Vivo

In this research we have studied the effects of extremely low frequency magnetic field on the peripheral blood lymphocytes chromosomes of human in vitro and rat in vivo. By this means, we used 60 blood samples of 10 men as well as 40 rats. Of 60 human blood samples ,40 samples (in two group of 20) were selected as test groups and placed into the 2 mT and 35 Hz magnetic field. The blood samples,...

Effects of Gamma Irradiation on Proliferation and IL-5 Production of Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes

Gamma irradiation is routinely used for suppression of lymphocyte function in transfusion and transplantation procedures. In recent years, some investigators focused on the effects of ionizing radiation on special aspects of lymphocyte function and considered the possibility of its clinical application for treatment of some immunological disorders. In this study, we evaluated the effects of fiv...

In vivo Exposure Effects of 99mTc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile on the FDXR and XPA Genes Expression in Human Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes

Objective(s): In recent years, the application of radiopharmaceuticals in nuclear medicine has increased substantially. Following the diagnostic procedures performed in nuclear medicine departments, such as myocardial perfusion imaging, patients generally receive considerable doses of radiation. Normally, radiation-induced DNA damages are expected following exposure to a low-dose ionizing radia...

Radioprotective effects of selenium and vitamin-E against 6MV X-rays in human blood lymphocytes by micronucleus assay

Background: Critical macromolecules of cells such as DNA are in exposure to damage of free radicals that induced from the interaction of ionizing radiation with biological systems. Selenium and vitamin-E are natural compounds that have been shown to be a direct free radical scavenger. The aim of this study was to investigate the radioprotective effect of selenium and vitamin-E separately and sy...
