چکیده
The present study deals with cytological effects of 2-mercaptoethyl amine on the Yoshida-sarcoma, the MTK-sarcoma III and Ehrlich ascites tumor concentrating a special attention on cell growth of tumor. 2-Mercaptoethylamine exerts influence upon tumor cells in process of mitosis, especially on an increase of mitotic cells, leading to increase of prophasic cells at first and metaphasic cells secondarily. The protection mechanism against radiation exerted by 2-merca ptoethylamine indicated that this drug induced an increase of mitotic activity. This increase of mitotic activity might be interpreted as a protecting effect against radiation injury.

Study of radio protective effect of Thymus vulgaris essential oil against ionizing radiation on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)
Introduction: Today ionizing radiation (IR) plays an important role in medicine, both in diagnostic and therapeutic field. Doctors, medical staff and patients are all in danger of side effects of IR so there is a need to protect them against deleterious effects of ionizing radiation. Thymus vulgaris has biological activities like antioxidant and antibacterial activity. Aim of...
متن کاملEffects of Arbutin on Radiation-Induced Micronuclei in Mice Bone Marrow Cells and It's Definite Dose Reduction Factor
Background: Interactions of free radicals from ionizing radiation with DNA can induce DNA damage and lead to mutagenesis and carsinogenesis. With respect to radiation damage to human, it is important to protect humans from side effects induced by ionizing radiation.In the present study, the effects of arbutin were investigated by using the micronucleus test for anti-clastogenic activity, to cal...
متن کاملEffects of gamma radiation on adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells of human breast tissue
Background: During radiation therapy, stromal cells surrounding the tumor (e.g mesenchymal stem cells) may affect the treatment outcomes. We aimed to investigate the effects of gamma radiation on the mRNA expression of cytokines, DNA damage and population doubling time (PDT) of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs). Material and methods: ASCs were enzymatically extracted from breast tis...
متن کاملModeling Breast Acini in Tissue Culture for Detection of Malignant Phenotype Reversion to Non-Malignant Phenotype
Backgrounds: Evidence is accumulating to support disruption of tissue architecture as a powerful event in tumor formation. For the past four decades, intensive cancer research with the premise of “cancer as a cell based-disease” focused on finding oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. However, the role of the tissue architecture was neglected. Three dimensional (3D) cell cultures which can recap...
متن کاملInherent radiosensitivity and its impact on breast cancer chemo-radiotherapy
About 10% of apparently normal individuals are sensitive to clastogenic effects of physico-chemical agents. More than 45% of breast cancer patients’ exhibit elevated radiosensitivity. Although the nature of inherent radiosensitivity is not fully understood, but insufficiency and impaired DNA repair mechanism might be prime cause of radiosensitivity. This is evident from genetically affect...
