Introduction:Artifical sourace of radiation have increased worldwide average annual exposure of mankind and could especially affect rapidly dividing cells in gonads. Since, radiation sensitivities of different components of primordial follicles, and the time required for their deplation have not been morphologically eatablished we decided to estimate the time required for depletion of primordi...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) on survival, activation and growth of ovine primordial follicles using histological studies. pieces of ovine ovarian cortex were obtained and cultured for 6 days in minimum essential medium supplemented with or without fsh (50 ng/ml). these fragments were then process to be used for histology compar...

Radionuclides released into the environment enter the food chain through plants and fish among others, and pose a potential risk to human health. Eliminating radionuclides from the soil environment or reducing their uptake by food crops would decrease the dose for humans. The possibility of phytoremediation was suggested to reduce the amount of radionuclides in the soil. The transfer rate of ra...

Radioactivity measurements for water, soil, and air have been completed in national international regions. The radioactivity process is randomized occurs naturally by primordial nuclides. Another case hand-made reactions which realized artificial reactions. high rate of the total dose radiation, whichever exposed to humans, originates as Natural Radioactivity. In this case, environmental are im...

Background: The present work aims to determine the activity concentrations of 226Ra, 233Th and 40K in soil samples collected in Mounana in the Southeastern region of Gabon, to evaluate the contribution of the natural. Materials and Methods: An HPGe p-type detector coupled with a multichannel analyzer DSA-1000 was used to perform measurements and process data. Data acquisition and analysis were ...

The accumulation of radionuclides by plants acting as a monitoring system in the environment may occur by two modes; foliar absorption by the leaves and shoot of the plant, or by root uptake from the soil. Data on plant accumulation of radionuclides may be obtained from studies of fission product radionuclides deposited as worldwide fallout, and from tracer studies of plant physiology. The epid...

The need for a system of radiological protection of the environment drives regulators to urge scientists on conceptualisation of methods to demonstrate that the environment is protected against radioactive contaminants. One of the major difficulties in the implementation of ecological risk assessment for radioactive pollutants is the lack of data for wildlife chronic internal exposure to alpha ...

The chemical modification of oligomers such as DNA, PNA, MORF, LNA to attach radionuclides for nuclear imaging and radiotherapy applications has become a field rich in innovation as older methods are improved and new methods are introduced. This review intends to provide a brief overview of several chelators currently in use for the labeling of oligomers with metallic radionuclides such as 99m ...
