background: to evaluate the effects of hyperthermia (ht) on the frequency of chromosomal aberrations induced by a low dose of neutron or γ-rays in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. materials and methods: blood samples were exposed to ht (41.5°c for 30 and 60min, 43°c for 15 and 30min), 10 cgy neutron or γ-rays, ht + neutron/γ, and neutron/γ + ht. after standard cell culture, harvesting, fixat...

background: a radioprotective effect of amifostine as well as its ability to modulate the level of spontaneous and gamma-irradiation-induced genetic changes on human peripheral blood lymphocytes has been investigated . amifostine, known as a potent radical scavenger, has been introduced as the most effective radioprotector, yet it is not completely approved for the clinical use. however, furthe...

us damages to the ovary storage and the matrix muscle state. some of these patients may admit to infertility clinics for having pregnancy and on the other hand hormonal administration for superovulation induction is a routine procedure in assisted reproduction technology (art) clinics.objective: this study aimed to investigate fertility and fetuses of hormone treated super ovulated female mice ...

an extensive study was undertaken to investigate on the overall film badge service performance with which occupational radiation, exposures are reported in iran, the study involved the analysis of film badges exposed to x-and gamma rays and beta particles. for test exposures, x-rays between 60 and 140 kvpco-60 gamma radiation and sr-90 beta particles were used. the actual delivered dose equival...

Background: Currently available radioprotectors are poorly tolerated in man and the general use of aminothiols is compromised by their side effects. This study was carried out to test and compare the radioprotective potential of cimetidine and famotidine against lethally gamma irradiated NMRI mice. Materials and Methods: Adult male NMRI mice in groups of 10 were exposed to various doses of gamm...

Background: Chamomile essential oil (CEO) hauls out from Matricaria chamomilla L., is a well-known anti-oxidant. Oxidative stress induces clastogenic and biochemical disorders after γ-irradiation of animals. Materials and Methods: Mice were divided into five groups. Control group received vehicle only.              &nbs...
