conclusions these findings suggest that exposure to tc-99m could induce a radio-adaptive response against the exposure of tl-201. background low dose radiation will induce adaptation and following exposure to an adaptive dose, the cells are more resistance to following challenging doses. this phenomenon is known as radio-adaptive response. the aim of this study was to investigate the percentage...

nonlinear static procedure (nsp) is a common technique to predict seismic demands on various building structures by subjecting a monotonically increasing horizontal loading (pushover) to the structure. therefore, the pushover analysis is an important part of each nsp. accordingly, the current paper aims at investigating the efficiencyof various algorithms of lateral load patterns applied to the...

Background: Pre-exposure to radiofrequency radiations of mobile phones would significantly increase the survival rate of exposed animals compared to those exposed to a lethal dose of gamma radiation alone. Stimulation of the immune system is believed to be a key mechanism for the induction of this phenomenon, the so-called “adaptive response.” The immune system protects organisms against in...

background: over the past few years, the rapid use of high frequency electromagnetic fields like mobile phones has raised global concerns about the negative health effects of its use. adaptive response is the ability of a cell or tissue to better resist stress damage by prior exposure to a lesser amount of stress. this study aimed to assess whether radiofrequency radiation can induce adaptive r...

This study examines the role of complement components C3 and C5 in innate and adaptive protective immunity to larval Strongyloides stercoralis in mice. Larval survival in naive C3(-/-) mice was increased as compared with survival in wild-type mice, whereas C3aR(-/-) and wild-type mice had equivalent levels of larval killing. Larval killing in naive mice was shown to be a coordinated effort betw...

the adaptive response (ar) is a phenomenon by which cells exposure to sublethal doses of dna-damaging agents (non-mutagenic dose of chemical or radiation), known as conditioning treatment (ct), leads to increased resistance to a subsequent exposure to a higher dose of the same or other agents, known as challenge treatment (cr). the adaptive response (ar) induced by radiation in human lymphocyte...

Hormesis and a cytogenetic adaptive response induced by low-dose radiation (LDR) have been extensively documented. However, few studies have investigated the induction of an adaptive response by LDR for cell survival in vitro. In the present study, we investigated whether LDR could induce hormesis in hematopoietic cells and the adaptive response of these cells to subsequent high-dose radiation-...
