Nuclei DNA Slide: A Novel Method to Measure Biological Effects of Radiation Damage

Nuclei DNA Slide: A Novel Method to Measure Biological Effects of Radiation Damage

There are many methods that can be used to detect and quantify radiation based on DNA damage, such as using cells and microorganism as models, Cadet’s et al. [1] study indicated that ultraviolet radiation damaged cellular DNA. The models of cells also delivered dose-response and time-response relationship the increase of Single Strand Break (SSB) and Double Strand Break (DSB) lesions in the DNA...

A Novel Biological Dosimetry Method for Monitoring Occupational Radiation Exposure in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Wards: From Radiation Dosimetry to Biological Effects

Background and Objective: Professional radiation workers are occupationally exposed to long-term low levels of ionizing radiation. Occupational health hazards from radiation exposure, in a large occupational segment of the population, are of special concern. Biological dosimetry can be performed in addition to physical dosimetry with the aim of individual dose assessment and biological effects....

Effect of Exposure to Ionizing Radiation on Biomarker of Oxidative Damage of DNA

Introduction: one of the most important complications of exposure to ionizing radiation is emergence of cancer tumors, which happens as a result of oxidative DNA.  Therefore, the present study was conducted, aimed to measuring 8-DIHYDROxy- 2’- DEOXYGUANOSINE (8-OHdG) level in radiographers’ urine as oxidative damage biomarker, as well as comparing this biomarker with cumulative effective doses....
