Trypanosoma cruzi Gene Expression in Response to Gamma Radiation
Trypanosoma cruzi is an organism highly resistant to ionizing radiation. Following a dose of 500 Gy of gamma radiation, the fragmented genomic DNA is gradually reconstructed and the pattern of chromosomal bands is restored in less than 48 hours. Cell growth arrests after irradiation but, while DNA is completely fragmented, RNA maintains its integrity. In this work we compared the transcriptiona...
متن کاملEnvironmental gamma radiation: a comment (Letter to the Editor)
Editor, I read the recent publication by Toossi et al. with a great interest (1). Toossi et al. concluded that “Average gonad and bone marrow doses for North Khorasan, Boshehr and Hormozgan provinces were less than the corresponding values for normal area (2).” There are some facts on this report to be concerned. I agree that the detected levels might be high in the mentioned area, but th...
متن کاملShort-term exposure to high levels of natural external gamma radiation does not induce survival adaptive response
Background: In some areas of Ramsar, a city in northern Iran, residents receive a much higher annual radiation exposure than is permitted for radiation workers. Induction of adaptive response in residents of Ramsar has been reported previously. In this study induction of such a response in short term exposure to high background levels of gamma radiation is investigated. Materials and M...
متن کاملRe: Enhancement of tumor response to gamma-radiation by an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme.
Milas and co-workers (1) reported in a recent issue of the Journal a potential adjuvant effect of selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibition on tumor response to radiotherapy in an animal model. These authors postulated that the COX-2 inhibitor 4-[5-(4-chlorophenyl)3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-l-yl)] benzenesulfonamide (SC-8236) is able to enhance response of the mouse sarcoma NFSA to loca...
متن کاملExperimental investigation of dosimetry response of nanocomposite of polystyrene-multiwall carbon nanotube in gamma radiation field
Recently, polymeric nanocomposites have been used as real-time detectors and dosimeters of gamma radiation. In this experimental work, multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were dispersed in polystyrene (PS) martix with a weight percentage of 0.05 wt%. SEM images confirmed the appropriate and uniform distribution of carbon nanotubes in the polymer matrix. The dark current and photocurrent of the ...
