objective: to assess relative biological effectiveness (rbe) of 131i radiation relative to 60co gamma rays in glioblastoma spheroid cells. materials and methods: in this experimental study, glioblastoma spheroid cells were exposed to 131i radiation and 60co gamma rays. radiation induced dna damage was evaluated by alkaline comet assay. samples of spheroid cells were treated by radiation from 13...

background: humans beings are continuously exposed to ionizing radiation from natural sources. the main contributors to natural radiation are high-energy cosmic radiation and radioactive nuclides that originates in the earth’s crust. exposure to high levels of radiation can cause serious health effects. in this study an attempt has been made to monitor the levels of environmental background rad...

gamma rays pose enough energy to remove electrons from atoms of absorbing material including human body and adversely affect human health. the external exposure of human beings to natural environmental gamma radiation normally exceeds that from all man-made sources combined. therefore, we monitored gamma dose rate in indoor environments and estimated corresponding annual effective dose in selec...

let $g$ be a group. the order graph of $g$ is the (undirected)graph $gamma(g)$,those whose vertices are non-trivial subgroups of $g$ and two distinctvertices $h$ and $k$ are adjacent if and only if either$o(h)|o(k)$ or $o(k)|o(h)$. in this paper, we investigate theinterplay between the group-theoretic properties of $g$ and thegraph-theoretic properties of $gamma(g)$. for a finite group$g$, we s...

Background: As a T helper type 1 (Th1) derived cytokine, Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is an important regulator of inflammatory immune responses. Furthermore, IFN-γ plays an essential role in defense against tumors and intracellular pathogens. This study was designed to assess the pattern of IFN-γ production in human leukemic (Jurkat and Molt-4) T cell lines in vitro. Methods: Ju...

bronchiolitis has been known as one of the pathological features of lung injuries in mustard gas exposed patients the purpose of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of interferon gamma-1b on the lung function in mustard gas exposed patients with bronchiolitis. in multicenter research interferon gamma-1b was effective in pulmonary fibrosis with unknown reason, but assessment of effect of ...

The prime graph of a finite group $G$ is denoted by $Gamma(G)$ whose vertex set is $pi(G)$ and two distinct primes $p$ and $q$ are adjacent in $Gamma(G)$, whenever $G$ contains an element with order $pq$. We say that $G$ is unrecognizable by prime graph if there is a finite group $H$ with $Gamma(H)=Gamma(G)$, in while $Hnotcong G$. In this paper, we consider finite groups with the same prime gr...

the decomposition $gamma=bh$ of a group $gamma$ into a subset $b$ and a subgroup $h$ of $gamma$ induces, under general conditions, a group-like structure for $b$, known as a gyrogroup. the famous concrete realization of a gyrogroup, which motivated the emergence of gyrogroups into the mainstream, is the space of all relativistically admissible velocities along with a binary operation given by t...
