Skin complications were recently reported after carbon-ion (C-ion) radiation therapy. Oxidative stress is considered an important pathway in the appearance of late skin reactions. We evaluated oxidative stress in normal human skin fibroblasts after carbon-ion vs. X-ray irradiation. Survival curves and radiobiological parameters were calculated. DNA damage was quantified, as were lipid peroxidat...

cd1-xmnxs (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2) nanoparticles, prepared by co-precipitation method under ultrasonic irradiation, were studied by means of x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, ftir and uv-vis  spectroscopy measurements. the average particle size of nanoparticles from the scanning electron microscopy image is about 20-30 nm. results show that partial substitution of cd by mn leads to a re...

Potentially lethal damage (PLD) and its repair (PLDR) were studied in confluent human fibroblasts by analyzing the kinetics of chromosome break rejoining after X-ray or heavy-ion exposures. Cells were either held in the non-cycling G0 phase of the cell cycle for 12 h, or forced to proliferate immediately after irradiation. Fusion premature chromosome condensation (PCC) was combined with fluores...

in this paper, undopedzno and co-znonano structureswith different molar ratio of cobalt have been synthesized by the sonochemical method. structure have been characterized by fourier transform (ftir) and uv–vis spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy (sem), energy dispersive analytical x-ray (edax), and x-ray diffraction (xrd) methods. moreover, the direct band gap has been calculated by tauc...

ultrasonic-assisted method was applied for preparation of cu+2-doped zns nanoparticles (mole fractions of cu+2 ions are 0.000, 0.015, 0.030 and 0.060) in water as a template-free and green method at 30 min. the prepared nanoparticles were investigated by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), energy dispersive x-ray (edx) and uv–vis diffuse reflectance spectra (drs)...

In this work, Mg-doped ZnO nanostructures were prepared in water under ultrasonic irradiation for 60 min without using any organic compounds or post preparation treatments. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDX), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS...

in this pepper fe2o3 nanoparticles were synthesized via a fast microwave method. then fe2o3-tio2 nanocomposites were synthesized by a sonochemical-assisted method. the prepared products were characterized by x-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscopy and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. the photocatalytic behaviour of fe2o3-tio2 nanocomposites was evaluated using the degrad...
