Background and Objective: The cell division cycle 25 (CDC25)is a familyof highly conserved dual-specificity phosphatases that activate cyclin-dependent kinase complexes. These complexes are the main cell cycle regulators. Mammalian cells ,exposure to DNA damaging radiations such as ionizing radiation and ultraviolet light, prevent cell cycle progression by activation of checkpoint pathways an...

Genotoxic stress such as ionizing radiation can induce DNA damage and promote cell-cycle arrest or apoptosis through either a p53-dependent or -independent pathway. Recently, members of the FOXO Forkhead transcription factor family have been implicated in playing a role in both DNA repair and apoptosis in mammalian cells that promoted us to examine the role of FOXO transcription factors in ioni...

Cosmic rays are known to cause biological effects directly and through ionizing radiation produced by their secondaries. These effects have been detected in airline crews and other specific cases where members of the population are exposed to above average secondary fluxes. Recent work has found a correlation between solar particle events and congenital malformations. In this work we use the re...

Radiation is any kind of energy transmitted without an intermediate medium. Radiant generally wave-shaped, most commonly sinusoidal. There are two types radiation: ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation. Ionizing that causes the process ejecting electrons from atoms to form ion pairs. Attention should be paid radiation, particularly its sources, types, properties, effects, methods avoida...

the purpose of the research was determine the effects of gamma ray on seed germination, seedling height and root length of rice (oryza sativa l. spp. indica cv. mr219) to identify the lethal dosage of the radiation. paddy seeds of mr219 were exposed to different doses of gamma radiations viz 50,100,150,200,250,300,350,400,450,500,600,700,800,900 and 1000 gy using 60co as the radiation source. t...

conclusions the effects of rp knowledge, attitude, and practice on job stress were significant. in order to reduce job stress in radiation environments, ongoing training programs related to self-care and protection principles are recommended. results the prevalence rate of job stress was 22.5% based on calculation formulas and possible scores on the jcq. sex, rp-knowledge, attitude, practice, a...

background: our purpose was to investigate propolis and its component caffeic acid phenethyl ester (cape) for their antioxidant effects on the brain tissue of rats exposed to ionizing radiation (ir). materials and methods: fifty-four male albino sprague-dawley rats, divided into six groups, were designed as normal control group, cranial irradiation of 5 gray alone, irradiation plus cape, irradi...
