Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Evidence for the Role of Natural Radioactivity in Influencing Viability of Commensal MicroorganismsMarco RuggieroTo investigate the feasibility of culturing edible microbes, classified as probiotics for human consumption, in commercially available, naturally radioactive, mineral water; to compare their viability with that of the same microbes cultured in deuterium-depleted water. A diversified array of probiotics was cultured in two different naturally radioactive mineral waters, or in deuterium-depleted water in order to assess the effects of … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 26 May 2021 · 8,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBackground Gamma Radiation in Nigerian Market EnvironmentChinyere Ononugbo, Uzochukwu AnekweHuman exposure to ionizing radiation from natural sources is an unending and unpreventable phenomenon on earth. Radiation profile and exposure risks for some major markets in Port Harcourt metropolis have been ascertained using radiation exposure rate meter (Radalert-100). The exposure rate measured at mile 3 market and its environs ranged from 0.001±0.0001 to 0.022±0.003 mRh-1 with mean value of 0.014±0.002 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 22 Jul 2020 · 7,119 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuercetin Iron (III) Complex Enhances Radiation-Induced Cell Death in Human Erythroleukemic Cell Lines by Increasing the Generation of Intracellular ROSJiraporn Kantapan, Krai Daowtak, Kachaporn Gateprayoon et al.Quercetin iron (III) complex (IronQ) is a paramagnetic agent which exhibits several biological effects. Despite extensive studies about quercetin metal complex, the role of complexes to enhance the effect of radiation still remains unexplored. To this end, we determined whether and how IronQ sensitizes cancer cells to Ionizing Radiation (IR). Doxorubicin resistant leukemic cells (K562/Adr) and their parental cell lines … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 16 Jan 2017 · 8,064 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadiation-Induced Cognitive Dysfunction After Different Schemes of Fractionated Whole Brain IrradiationZorkina Yana Alexandrovna, Zubkov Eugene Andreevich, Yusubalieva Gaukhar Maratovna et al.Radiation-induced cognitive dysfunction is a serious complication of radiation therapy. In humans, numerous cases of radiation damage have been recorded after irradiation for therapeutic purposes. The degree of cognitive dysfunctions and its dependence on biological effective doses should be tested in animal preclinical models to minimize radiation side effects. Fractionated whole brain irradiation was performed according to the following schemes: … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 14 Jan 2015 · 7,256 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Estimation of X-Radiation Output using Mathematic ModelSuchart Kothan, Montree TungjaiProblem statement: Diagnosis x-ray radiation safety is key in medical examination. The quantity of patient radiation doses is beneficial for radiation protection of the patient. It was proposed that the equation for estimating the output (milliReongent, mR) from x-ray machines. Approach: A was 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0 for single phase, three phases and high frequency x-ray machines, respectively. To compare … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 13 Aug 2011 · 7,753 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification the Specific Relationships among Physical Parameters which Use to Quantify Inactivation Effect of Charged Particles at Low DosesAbubaker Ali Yousif, Ismail Bin Bahari, Muhamad Samudi YasirProblem statement: The relationships among physical qualities parameters which are characterized charged particles are not extensively determined for all types of ionizing radiations; the specific physical parameters that are also qualified to quantify the radiation effects of charged particles have been investigated. Approach: Secondary data of charged particles which are used to irradiate mammalian cells in vitro has been employed … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2010 · 6,528 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterization of Silver/Polyvinilpirrolidone (Ag/PVP) Nanoparticles Using Gamma Irradiation TechniquesShawkat Salameh Gasaymeh, Shahidan Radiman, Lee Yook Heng et al.Problem statement: In this study, attempts had been made to synthesize silver (Ag)/Poly Vinylpyrolidone (PVP) nanoparticles by ionizing radiation and at the same time overcoming some of the disadvantages previously reported by other methods such as impurities, solvent toxicity, size and distribution control and difficulty in their preparation that limits their commercialization potential. Approach: The use of this alternative method … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 9,962 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Total Ionizing Dose on Bipolar Junction TransistorChee Fuei Pien, Haider F. Abdul Amir, Saafie Salleh, Azali MuhammadProblem statement: The amount of ionizing radiation that Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) devices encounter during their lifecycle degrades both of their functional and electrical parameter performances. The different radiation environments either in space, high energy physics experiments, nuclear environment or fabrication process as well as for standard terrestrial operation possess an impact on the devices. Approach: In this research, analytical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,311 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Two Different Dose Levels of Irradiation on Thioredoxin Reductase in the Kidney of Guinea PigsNedret Kılıc, Yildiz Guney, Ayse Hıcsonmez et al.It is aimed to examine the state of the oxidant-antioxidant system in the liver of guinea pig caused by ionizing radiation at two different dose levels in the early period. The research was carried out on guinea pigs irradiated with the doses of 8 Gy (group 2) or 15 Gy (group 3) (single dose/whole body) in comparison with control group … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,786 accessesView PDFCite
