Background: The development of methods to alleviate radiation-induced health effects is important for the practical use of radiation therapy and for understanding the molecular mechanisms mediating these effects. Here, we examined the protective capability of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on life-shortening effects induced by continuous low dose-rate gamma-ray exposure in mice. Materials and Methods: ...

Okumura gave a necessary and sufficient condition for an oriented real hypersurface of a Kähler manifold to be a contact metric manifold with respect to the naturally induced almost contact metric structure. In this paper, we discuss an oriented hypersurface of a quasi Kähler manifold and give a necessary and sufficient condition for such a hypersurface to be a quasi contact metric manifold wit...

lymphocytic infiltration of jessner-kanof is a chronic, benign t cell infiltration disorder of exposed skin with unknown etiology. in some instances, these lesions are induced or aggravated by light exposure. in this case report, we are going to describe an interesting occupationally related skin disease, jessner's disease, after several years working with computer. on the basis of literature r...

The hybrid averaging (HA) is an aggregation operator that uses the weighted average (WA) and the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator in the same formulation. In this paper, we introduce several generalizations of the HA operator by using generalized and quasi-arithmetic means, fuzzy numbers and order inducing variables in the reordering step of the aggregation process. We present the fuzz...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Fine particulate matter 2.5μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5), has been considered a global threat to accelerated biological aging. DNA methylation age (DNAmAge) is one of the most studied forms age, its discrepancy with chronological (i.e. acceleration, AA) was associated multiple aging-related health outcomes and had positive associations long-term PM2.5 exposure. However,...

the protective effect of liquorice plant extract (lpe) on ccl4-induced hepatotoxicity in common carp was evaluated using fifty adult carps. the fish were cultured in a standard environment in terms of water flow rate, oxygen, ph, food and temperature. the fish were assigned into 5 groups (n = 10) as control, sham, and tests. the test groups were pre-treated for 3 h with various concentrations o...

background: induction of cellular response after exposure to electromagnetic fields is limited to coherent fields. an incoherent noise field is supposed to suppress the bioeffects of regular rf electromagnetic fields. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of gsm mobile phone-induced radiofrequency (rf) on the induction of oxidative stress in sp2/0 cell line. materials and meth...
