background: results are presented on some dosimetric characteristics of sife – eldeen dosimeter based on the radiation induced conductivity (ric) of 3.5 m aqueous urea solutions. the studied characteristics were the response (ric) of sife – eldeen dosimeter in broad ranges of absorbed dose, dose rates and at different irradiation temperature. materials and methods: kent eil5007 conductivity met...

developed tumors depended on the number of viable cells inoculated. For this paper the same• technic was used to study the effect of x-radiation on tumor cells in suspension : first, to establish the lethal effect of equal doses of radiation on different concentrations of tumor cells; second, to deter mine the influence of radiation on the growth pe riod; third, to determine whether any radia...

the cancer of oral cavity is related to lesions of mucous membrane of tongue and gum that can be treated with radiation therapy. a lateral photon field can be used to treat this kind of tumor, which has a side‑effect on normal tissue in the opposite side of the oral cavity. in this study the dosimetric effect of the various shields in oral cavity is evaluated. in this study, a special phantom s...

Objective(s):Electromagnetic radiations which have lethal effects on the living cells are currently also considered as a disinfective physical agent.   Materials and Methods: In this investigation, silver nanoparticles were applied to enhance the lethal action of low powers (100 and 180 W) of 2450 MHz electromagnetic radiation especially against Escherichia coli ATCC 8739. Silver nanoparticles ...

Radiation-gene therapy, a dual anticancer strategy of radiation therapy and gene therapy through connecting radiation-inducible regulatory sequence to therapeutic gene, leading to the gene being induced to express by radiation while radiotherapy is performed and finally resulting in a double synergistic antitumor effect of radiation and gene, has become one of hotspots in the field of cancer tr...

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...

background: ionizing radiation induces the production of reactive oxygen species (ros), which play an important causative role in cell death. the aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of sulfated derivatives of neutral polysaccharides extracted from auricularia auricular (snaap). materials and methods: whole blood samples from healthy donors treated with snaap at different...

gamma rays pose enough energy to remove electrons from atoms of absorbing material including human body and adversely affect human health. the external exposure of human beings to natural environmental gamma radiation normally exceeds that from all man-made sources combined. therefore, we monitored gamma dose rate in indoor environments and estimated corresponding annual effective dose in selec...
