PURPOSE Cancer induction after radiation therapy is known as a severe side effect. It is therefore of interest to predict the probability of second cancer appearance for the patient to be treated including breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this work a dose-response relationship for breast cancer is derived based on(i) the analysis of breast cancer induction after Hodgkin's disease,(ii) ...

the objective of the present investigation was to assess the possible involvement ofgabaergic mechanism in analgesic effect of aqueous extract of origanum vulgare (org)in a rat model of acute pain test. sixty-three anaesthetized male wistar rats (200-250 g) werecannulated into the left ventricle. five to seven days after the recovery from surgery, org extractwas intraventricularly injected at d...

In this report, the clinical course and treatment response of 210 patients with Grawes’ disease referred to the research institute for nuclear medicine were studied. The disease was more common in 3rd and 4th decades and more frequent in women (F/M=4). Treatment response with antithyroid drugs was about 50%, whereas 80% of the patients treated by I-131 showed positive response. There was ...

background: radio-adaptive response and bystander effects are known phenomena occurring in cells following exposure to ionizing radiation (ir). in this study we examined possible radio-adaptation of lymphocytes following bystander effects induced by cho-k1 cells. materials and methods: whole blood and cho-k1 cells were cultured in rpmi-1640 complete medium. cells were separately irradiated with...

Introduction: Adaptive response is one of the important concepts in radiobiology. The present report aimed to transfer the radio-adaptation via serum. Material and Methods: In total, 50 male adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups, including control, serum control, low-dose (100cGy), low-dose/lethal, serum/lethal, and lethal (8G...
