Early changes in the vascularity of grafted skin after X-ray irradiation were evaluated using the microangiographic technique. There was a correlation betweeen the vascular density at the time of irradiation and the vascular density two weeks after irradiation. The grafts irradiated in the early hypovascular stage showed mild-moderate vascular reactions to irradiation, whereas those irradiated ...

Chemoradiation therapy (CRT), a combination of X-ray irradiation and anticancer agents as a radiosensitizer, has been found to be an effective treatment for esophageal cancer and has been linked to p53 genetics. The p53 gene family regulates cell-cycle arrest, apoptosis and DNA damage repair. A recently identified ribonucleotide reductase, p53R2, is directly regulated by p53 in the supply of nu...

In the studies reported here, a high-linear-energy-transfer (high-LET)-radiation dose was used to induce adaptive response in zebrafish embryos in vivo. Microbeam protons were used to provide the priming dose and X-ray photons were employed to provide the challenging dose. The microbeam irradiation system (Single-Particle Irradiation System to Cell, acronym as SPICE) at the National Institute o...

53BP1 is a human BRCT protein that was originally identified as a p53-interacting protein by the Saccharomyces cerevisiae two-hybrid screen. Although the carboxyl-terminal BRCT domain shows similarity to Crb2, a DNA damage checkpoint protein in fission yeast, there is no evidence so far that implicates 53BP1 in the checkpoint. We have identified a Xenopus homologue of 53BP1 (XL53BP1). XL53BP1 i...

This paper studies the reaction of low-mass stars to anisotropic irradiation and its implications for the long-term evolution of compact binaries (cataclysmic variables and lowmass X-ray binaries). First, we show by means of simple homology considerations that if the energy outflow through the surface layers of a lowmass main sequence star is blocked over a fraction seff < 1 of its surface (e.g...

ultrasonic-assisted method was applied for preparation of cu+2-doped zns nanoparticles (mole fractions of cu+2 ions are 0.000, 0.015, 0.030 and 0.060) in water as a template-free and green method at 30 min. the prepared nanoparticles were investigated by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), energy dispersive x-ray (edx) and uv–vis diffuse reflectance spectra (drs)...

The mechanism of the elevation of intracellular glutathione induced by low-dose gamma-rays was examined in RAW 264.7 cells. The expression of mRNA for gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gamma-GCS) increased soon after gamma-ray (0.5 Gy) irradiation, and peaked between 3 h and 6 h post-irradiation. A dose of 0.25 to 0.5 Gy was optimum for induction of gamma-GCS mRNA expression at 3 h post-irradi...

The data presented in this article is related to the research experiment, titled: 'Quasi in-situ energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy observation of matrix and solute interactions on Y-Ti-O oxide particles in an austenitic stainless steel under 1 MeV Kr2+ high temperature irradiation' (Brooks et al., 2017) [1]. Quasi in-situ analysis during 1 MeV Kr2+ 520 °C irradiation allowed the same microst...
