Calicivirus inactivation by nonionizing (253.7-nanometer-wavelength [UV]) and ionizing (gamma) radiation.
Noroviruses (previously Norwalk-like viruses) are the most common viral agents associated with food- and waterborne outbreaks of gastroenteritis. In the absence of culture methods for noroviruses, animal caliciviruses were used as model viruses to study inactivation by nonionizing (253.7-nm-wavelength [UV]) and ionizing (gamma) radiation. Here, we studied the respiratory feline calicivirus (FeC...
متن کاملGenomic instability induced by ionizing radiation.
Genomic instability is characterized by the increased rate of acquisition of alterations in the mammalian genome. These changes encompass a diverse set of biological end points including karyotypic abnormalities, gene mutation and amplification, cellular transformation, clonal heterogeneity and delayed reproductive cell death. The loss of stability of the genome is becoming accepted as one of t...
متن کاملIonizing Radiation Induced Radicals
When ionizing radiation passes through a material it imparts some of its energy to that material. The imparted energy may be high enough to cause a break in bonds inside the molecules or between molecules or both, in such cases, free radicals are created. The type, lifetime, extent, fate and origin of those free radicals may differ according to several factors; most of them are beyond the subje...
متن کاملChapter 21 Reproductive and Developmental Risks of Ionizing Radiation What are the Reproductive and Developmental Risks of Ionizing Radiation ?
Many pregnant women are concerned about the potential reproductive and developmental risks of radiation exposures. With the advent of the Internet, consulting has become more rapid and efficient. In 2008, the pregnancy website of the Health Physics Society (HPS), ATE (Ask the Expert), received approximately 2,400,000 hits. Over 700,000 prepared answers to questions were downloaded. Over 1,600 c...
متن کاملRadioprotective effect of thymol against salivary glands dysfunction induced by ionizing radiation in rats
The aim of this study was to investigate the radioprotective effect of thymol as a natural product against salivary glands dysfunction induced by ionizing radiation in rats. The rats were treated with thymol at dose of 50 mg/Kg before exposure to radiation at dose 15Gy. Salivary gland function was evaluated with radioisotope scintigraphy and then salivary gland to background counts ratio was ca...
