Living near high-voltage power lines and exposure to high-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) is a potential serious hazard to animal and human health. The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of high-frequency EMFs from simulated high-voltage electric towers on cognitive, anatomical, and biological changes in male Macaque. In this study, two Rhesus Macaque were recruited, ...

Clinical trials with rituximab in combination with chemotherapeutic regimens have shown promising results. Data on the effects of rituximab treatment in combination with irradiation are, however, limited and inconsistent. This study aims to investigate the effects of rituximab (R) on cell death induced by X-irradiation in Raji lymphoma cells and to evaluate its mechanisms. We found the cell gro...

A dinuclear Fe(II) compound has been prepared through the reaction of 2,5-dichloride-4-phenylimino-1,2,4-triazole (L) with Fe(BF4)2·6H2O, with the formula [Fe2(L)5(SCN)4](H2O) (1). X-ray, magnetic, and (57)Fe Mössbauer characterizations showed that compound exhibited a spin crossover (SCO) behavior with T1/2 = 150 K. The study shows that introducing chloride groups on the ligand exerts a positi...

Background: Ionizing radiation causes cognitive impairment in adult brain. However, the effects of various irradiation protocols with fractionated fixed total dose on hippocampal function have not yet been studied. Materials and Methods: Fractionated whole brain irradiation with a total dose of 36 Gy was performed according to the following protocols: 2Gy-18 fractions (2Gy*18), 4Gy-9 fraction (...

A number of studies have suggested that the irradiation behavior and damage processes occurring during sequential and simultaneous particle irradiations can significantly differ. Currently, there is no definite answer as to why and when such differences are seen. Additionally, the conventional multi-particle irradiation facilities cannot correctly reproduce the complex irradiation scenarios exp...

purpose: the aim of this study was to test the in vitro sensitivity of lymphocytes of patients with head and neck cancer against gamma irradiation and also to find out if the frequencies of chromosomal aberrations correlate with side effects of radiotherapy. patients and methods : peripheral blood of 101 patients with head and neck cancer was collected before the onset of radiotherapy, cultured...

some oxime ether derivatives of α-ionone (4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3-buten-2-one) have been synthesized. reaction of 4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3-buten-2-ketoxime with various chloro and fluoro aromatic and hetero aromatic compounds gave the corresponding oxime ether derivatives via aromatic nucleophilic substitution (snar). the structures of these compounds were elucida...

tripropylammonium fluorochromate(vi) (tpafc), is an efficient and new reagent, which isprepared easily and oxidizes thiols to the corresponding disulfides, quickly. the reactions areperformed cleanly and are controlled to stop at the disulfide stage, without over-oxidation andside products. coupling of thiols to their corresponding disulfides, are studied in solution atroom temperature and in s...
