Radiation protection of stimulated human lymphocytes by nicotinamideBiophysik - Tập 22 - Trang 133-140 - 1983
R. Kol, E. Ben-Hur
Nicotinamide (NA) when added to human lymphocytes in vitro together with a mitogen, protected against the inhibition byγ and UV radiation of stimulated cell growth. When stimulated by phytohemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin A (Con A) or pokeweed mitogen (PWM) maximum protection has been observed with ∼ 1 mM NA (dose reduction factor of 2–3). To obtain protection the cells had to be stimulated immed...... hiện toàn bộ
Cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and intracellular distribution of the Auger electron emitter 65Zn in two human cell linesBiophysik - Tập 43 - Trang 15-22 - 2004
Ralf Kriehuber, Manuela Riedling, Myrtill Simkó, Dieter G. Weiss
Cell survival, induction of apoptosis, and micronucleus formation have been examined in non-transformed human amnion fluid fibroblast-like (AFFL) cells and in a human squameous cell carcinoma (SCL-II) cell line after exposure to the Auger electron emitter 65Zn and after external low-LET radiation. Cellular uptake and subcellular distribution of 65Zn2+ were studied in vitro and the absorbed radiati...... hiện toàn bộ
Radiation sensitivity of N. pharaonis in comparison with E. coli K12 strainsBiophysik - Tập 41 - Trang 145-148 - 2014
R. Quint, S. Solar, H. Stan-Lotter
To investigate the radiation sensitivity of the natronobacterium Natronomonas pharaonis in comparison with Escherichia coli strains (N. pharaonis DSM 2160T, E. coli strains AB1157 and K12λs) were exposed to gamma-radiation (60Co-γ-source, 100 Gy min–1) in the presence of oxygen (air) and under strongly reduced oxygen conditions (argon-saturated medium). After irradiation, the colony-forming abili...... hiện toàn bộ
Preliminary assessment of the risks associated with solar ultraviolet-A exposureBiophysik - Tập 50 - Trang 219-229 - 2010

An approach is proposed to assess the periods of human skin exposure to solar ultraviolet-A (UV-A, 315–400 nm) irradiance in natural conditions that are able to yield doses found to trigger carcinogenesis in laboratory experiments. Weighting functions, adopted to perform such estimate are constructed, allowing for a comparison between environmental and laboratory doses. Furthermore, the impact of ...... hiện toàn bộ
Uncertainty analysis in internal dose calculations for cerium considering the uncertainties of biokinetic parameters and S valuesBiophysik - Tập 59 - Trang 663-682 - 2020
Vladimir Spielmann, Wei Bo Li, Maria Zankl, Juan Camilo Ocampo Ramos, Nina Petoussi-Henss
Radioactive cerium and other lanthanides can be transported through the aquatic system into foodstuffs and then be incorporated by humans. Information on the uncertainty of reported dose coefficients for exposed members of the public is then needed for risk analysis. In this study, uncertainties of dose coefficients due to the ingestion of the radionuclides 141Ce and 144Ce were estimated. Accordin...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of antibiotics on UV-stimulated tube growth ofPinus silvestris pollenBiophysik - Tập 14 - Trang 323-328 - 1977
L. Zelles
Studies were made to investigate the effects of different antibiotics on unirradiated pollen and on pollen with enhanced tube growth, stimulated by low doses of UV-light. The antibiotics mitomycin, chloramphenicol, tetracyclin, penicillin, nystatin and carbony-cyanid phenylhydrazon were not able to suppress tube growth stimulation of pine pollen. The data obtained are discussed in view of the stim...... hiện toàn bộ
A new EPR dosimeter based on glutamic acid for radiation processing applicationBiophysik - Tập 58 - Trang 501-511 - 2019
W. B. Beshir, Yasser S. Soliman, A. A. Abdel-Fattah, Ramy Amer Fahim
l-Glutamic acid (L-GA) pellets (3.8 mm × 4 mm) and powder dosimeters were studied in the dose range of 0.1–150 kGy using the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique. The EPR spectra of irradiated L-GA pellets showed an EPR signal with eight lines, and the intensity of the signal increased with an increase of absorbed dose. The results obtained in terms of the energy-absorption coefficients...... hiện toàn bộ
