Materials methods. performed 128 white non-linear study conducted five experimental models: ethanol poisoning, poisoning against background preliminary alcoholization, exposure to for 1, 2 3 ...

BACKGROUND Standard treatment for recurrent ependymomas is not defined. Re- irradiation has been proposed but its modalities and results are still to be explored. PATIENTS AND METHODS From June 1994 to December 2013, 32 pediatric patients with ependymoma were re-irradiated for local (n = 15) or metastatic (n = 17) relapses. Files were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS Local relapses were tr...

PURPOSE We applied the American Society of Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO) Consensus Panel (CP) guidelines for the use of accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) to patients treated with this technique to determine the ability of the guidelines to differentiate patients with significantly different clinical outcomes. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 199 patients treated with ...

Until now, the multiple biological effects of ionizing radiation on liver have been reported. However, there has not been any reports of fast neutron-mediated liver injuries including liver regeneration or fibrosis. Here, we described the biological effects of acute fast neutron irradiation on the liver. After the fast neutron irradiation of 0, 0.25, 1, 2, 4 and 8 Gy on mice, hepatocyte necrosi...

This study aims to investigate the radioprotective effects of dimethyl sulfoxide in acute phase radiation-induced lung injury by technetium-99m-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid transalveolar clearance scintigraphy a rabbit model. Twenty white New Zealand rabbits were grouped as (1) control, (2) sham irradiation, (3) irradiation plus sulfoxide, and (4) alone. Right hemithorax regions groups ir...

The number of children with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) who achieve remission and the number of long-term survivors have increased in the last 10 years owing to intensified chemotherapy and better supportive care. This report reviews nine pediatric studies, particularly the German AML studies BFM-78 and BFM-83. A total of 294 children with AML under 17 years of age entered the AML studies ...

Radiation injury to the lung is the result of acute and chronic free radical formation, and there are currently few effective means of mitigating such injury. Studies in rodents indicate that superoxide dismutase mimetics may be effective in this regard; however, studies in humans or large animals are lacking. We hypothesized that post-exposure treatment with the lipophilic mitochondrial supero...

HeLa cells were incubated with neutron capture nuclei (boron-10 and gadolinium)-containing carbon nanoparticles, followed by irradiation of slow thermal neutron beam. Under a neutron flux of 6 x 10(11) n/cm(2) (or 10 min irradiation at a neutron flux of 1 x 10(9) n/cm(2) s), the percentages of acute cell death at 8 h after irradiation are 52, 55, and 28% for HeLa cells fed with BCo@CNPs, GdCo@C...

Busulfan 16 mg/kg and cyclophosphamide 120 mg/kg were used as conditioning prior to allogeneic marrow transplantation in 50 adult patients with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). A standard risk group of 20 patients included those with acute leukemia in remission and CML in chronic phase. A high-risk group of 30 patien...

There is currently no consensus on salvage therapy for recurrent esophageal cancer. Salvage surgery is a well-established option for attaining long-term survival; however, it is associated with a high risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality. A total of 6 patients who underwent re-irradiation for recurrence of locoregional esophageal cancer following definitive chemoradiotherapy were inves...
