Background: Different treatment and protec ve approaches for radia oninduced oral mucosi s have been prac ced and have varie es of success. Of which, radioprotec ve agents, synthe c or natural, have been of great interest for researchers. This study aims to evaluate the effect of curcuma longa topical gel as a herbal produc on on mucosi s induced by radia on therapy of head and neck cancers. Ma...

We give an estimate of the C-even B 0 ¯ B 0 background coming from the radia-tive decay Υ(4S) → B 0 ¯ B 0 γ at B-factories. Our result B(Υ(4S) → B 0 ¯ B 0 γ) ≃ 3× 10 −9 shows that such background could be safely neglected in the analyses of CP violating effects.

Background: Radia on absorbed dose to the red bone marrow, a cri cal organ in the therapy of thyroid carcinoma, is generally kept below 2 Gy for non-myeloabla ve therapies. The aim of this study was to calculate bone marrow radia on dose by using MIRDOSE3 package program and to op mize the safe limit of ac vity to be administered to the thyroid cancer pa ents. Materials and Methods: In this stu...

Background: DNA damage is one of the major consequences of radia on exposure onto the biological systems. A series of compounds including flavanoids were found to render DNA protec on against radia on damage. In this study we elucidated the poten al of ru n and ru n hydrate to protect plasmid DNA against damage induced by irradia on. Materials and Methods: DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging a...
