Relative biological effectiveness of fast neutrons for apoptosis in mouse hair follicles
This study compared the effects of high linear energy transfer (LET) fast neutrons on the induction of apoptosis in the hair follicles of ICR mice with those of low LET (60)Co gamma-rays. The changes that occurred from 0 to 24 h after exposing the mice to either 2 Gy of gamma-rays (2 Gy/min) or 0.8 Gy of neutrons (94 mGy/min, 35 MeV) were examined. The maximum frequency was found at 12 h (gamma...
متن کاملT H E Relative Biological Effectiveness O F Fast Organisms Neutrons 'and X-rays upon Different
A given amount of ionization produced by fast neutrons has an injurious biological action equivalent to that of several times as much ionization produced by x-rays. This has been demonstrated for various biological systems by Lawrence and Lawrence ( l ) , Zirkle and Aebersold ( 2 ) and Lawrence, Aebersold and Lawrence ( 3 ) . This fact indicates that the mechanism of biological action of fast n...
متن کاملRapid MCNP simulation of DNA double strand break (DSB) relative biological effectiveness (RBE) for photons, neutrons, and light ions.
To account for particle interactions in the extracellular (physical) environment, information from the cell-level Monte Carlo damage simulation (MCDS) for DNA double strand break (DSB) induction has been integrated into the general purpose Monte Carlo N-particle (MCNP) radiation transport code system. The effort to integrate these models is motivated by the need for a computationally efficient ...
متن کاملThe Relative Effectiveness of Fission Neutrons for Gastrointestinal Damage in Mice: Jejunal Crypt Stem Cell Survival
Mice were unilaterally irradiated in either a fission neutron or gamma ray field at various dose rates. Jejunal crypt stem cell survival was analyzed by the multitarget single-hit survival model, which yielded excellent fitting survival curves. At the 1 percent survival level, gamma rays were found to be 20 percent more effective in destroying cells when delivered in a brief pulse of radiation ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Relative Biological Effectiveness of Proton Beams and Iso-effective Dose Profiles Using Geant4
Background: The assessment of RBE quantity in the treatment of cancer tumors with proton beams in treatment planning systems (TPS) is of high significance. Given the significance of the issue and the studies conducted in the literature, this quantity is fixed and is taken as equal to 1.1.Objective: The main objective of this study was to assess RBE quantity of proton beams and their variations ...
