introduction it has long been known that ionizing radiation can lead to detrimental effects in normal cells. in this light, radioprotective chemicals have been used to decrease morbidity or mortality caused by ionizing irradiation. this study aimed to evaluate the radio-protective effect of n-acetylcysteineagainst radiation-induced mortality in male mice. materials and methods 52 healthy male m...

INTRODUCTION According to statistics, there have been 160 radiation accidents in the world, with 300 acute radiation sickness cases induced (1). Only one person with extremely nonuniform exposure was treated using bone marrow autografting. The efficiency of this therapy is evaluated as doubtful. In experiments on all types of irradiated animals, automyelotherapy has proved the most efficient an...

Here we show that floating objects in stratified fluids can be cloaked against broadband incident waves by properly architecting the bottom corrugations. The presented invisibility cloaking of gravity waves is achieved utilizing a nonlinear resonance concept that occurs between surface and internal waves mediated by the bottom topography. Our cloak bends wave rays from the surface into the body...

To investigate the effects of sanguinarine (SAN) on acute radiation induced injury in mice, 45 mice were randomly divided into control, 10 Gy and SAN+10 Gy groups. Mice in the 10 Gy and SAN+10 Gy groups were exposed to single X-ray radiation with an accumulated dose of 10 Gy. Mice in the SAN+10 Gy group were administered intraperitoneally with 2.5 mg/kg body weight of SAN before radiation. Five...

Natural Products offer an alternative to synthetic radioprotectors being less toxic. In this study 50% alcoholic extract of Mentha piperita (ALM) was tested for its radioprotective ability in terms of radiation sickness and survival of Swiss albino mice. This drug was well tolerated at highest dose of 1000mg/kg b.wt./day for three consecutive days. All doses of drug provided significant protect...
