The involvement of the signal transduction pathway in mouse liver following whole body irradition was investigated. Mice were exposed to 60Co gamma rays (3 Gy) and sacrificed after different time intervals. Various elements of phosphatidyl inositol signal transduction pathway were investigated. Alterations could be seen as early as 15 min of irradiation. These changes are reflected in elevation...

Thermal neutrons/DNA replication/DNA repair The degree of inhibition of DNA replication and the level of DNA repair synthesis induced by thermal neutron irradiation was determined in human lymphoblastoid cell lines. Dose response experiments revealed that, when compared with equivalent doses of 60Co-ƒÁ-irradia tion, thermal neutrons gave rise to similar levels of inhibition of DNA replication b...

The responses of readings by the TL dosimetry system MR200 TL developed in-house and used at JSI and the TOLEDO TL system used at RBI are compared. Ten measurements at different doses ranging from 0.01 mSv to 5 Sv were carried out. A set of 36 dosemeters with three pellets of CaF2:Mn were irradiated in radiation fields of 137Cs and 60Co. Analysis of the measured results shows that at doses belo...

A population of 420 snails Biomphalaria straminea, an intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni, received gamma-rays obtained from a 60Co source in low-doses (0/2,5/5/7,5/10/15/20 and 25 Gy); half population was kept in colonies (allowing cross fertilization) and the other half was maintained in sexual isolation (allowing self fertilization). Results showed that 15 Gy stimulates the fertility of...

A protocol is prescribed for clinical reference dosimetry of external beam radiation therapy using photon beams with nominal energies between 60Co and 50 MV and electron beams with nominal energies between 4 and 50 MeV. The protocol was written by Task Group 51 (TG-51) of the Radiation Therapy Committee of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) and has been formally approved ...

Проведено опромiнювання конструкцiйних матерiалiв 2-го блока ЧАЕС гальмiвними y-квантами з граничною енергiєю 37 МеВ. З вимiряних y-спектрiв, використовуючи спiввiдношення виходiв 57Co, 58Сo та 54Mn, ми визначили вiдношення концентрацiй iзотопiв 58Ni 56Fe до концентрацiї 59Co. Iз використанням отриманих даних вимiряної активностi 60Co в дослiджуваних зразках розроблено метод визначення активнос...

The radiation-chemical yield of the molecular hydrogen received under influence gamma quanta (60Co, P=22Rad/s, T=300K) to liquid water constant volume (V=5 ml) in process a radiolysis at change weight (m=0.01; 0.02; 0.06 and 0.12 g) sizes silicon particle (d=50 nanometers) is defined. It has been revealed that increase mass added grows direct ratio (m<0.02 depending on size after certain...
