laser is one of the sources that induce a biological effect in higher plants. the positive effect of laser on some crops has been proved. this research was carried out to study the effect of laser radiation on the accumulation of proline in spring wheat (triticum aestivum cv. kavir) under different nacl treatment levels. semi-coherent red beam, infrared beam and one-second harmonics of neodymiu...

The action of the Doppler effect on the particularities of radiation power spectral distribution of an electron moving in a spiral in a medium has been investigated near the Cherenkov threshold. The fine structure of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum at the Cherenkov threshold and the synchrotron-Cherenkov radiation spectrum for an electron moving along a spiral with non-relativistic longi...

mineral dust is produced from both natural and anthropogenic sources. dust aerosols can be transported over long distances in the atmosphere. they reduce the incident shortwave radiation to the surface by absorbing and scattering the solar radiation; thereby leading to a cooling effect at the surface and lower tropospheric temperature. on the other hand, by absorption and re-emission of longwav...

Introduction: Radiotherapy is still one of the main options for cancer treatment but it is in association with damage to normal cells as well as the tumor cells. To reduce the injury in normal cells we have evaluated the effect of 528 hertz sound after X irradiation in peripheral blood lymphocytes. Materials and Methods: in this study, peripheral blood was o...

background: in many studies, chemicals and natural materials were tested to reduce the harmful effects of radiation. it is known that famotidine and vitamin c reduce dna damage. objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the radioprotective effect of vitamin c, cimetidine and famotidine on gamma-radiation-induced damage on mouse bone marrow.  methods: six-to-seven week male nmri mice (28 ...

background: radiation-induced lung injury is a refractory side effect in lung cancer radiotherapy, the mechanism still remains unclear, hence an appropriate animal mode may become useful to investigate it. materials and methods: 50 female wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, average 10 rats/cage: a. control group b. 3gy×10f c. 6gy×5f d. 12.5gy×1f e.15.3gy×1f. by different doses of r...

the radiation-induced bystander effect is the phenomenon which non-irradiated cells exhibit effects along with their different levels as a result of signals received from nearby irradiated cells. responses of non-irradiated cells may include changes in process of translation, gene expression, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cells death. these changes are confirmed by results of some in-vivo s...

introduction:   palmoplantar psoriasis could hardly be differentiated from chronic tylotic eczema both clinically and histologically. the most commonly used therapeutic options for palmoplantar psoriasis are long-term therapy with topical corticosteroids and local puva. frequently, it is a recalcitrant disease. we investigated the efficacy and tolerability of the combination of topical calcipot...
