These deviations may be caused by physical or chemical agents and occur by natural or unnatural, introduced circumstances. They include the introduction of illegitimate bases during replication or by deamination or other modification of bases; the loss of a base from the DNA backbone leaving an abasic site; single-strand breaks; double strand breaks; and intrastrand (PYRIMIDINE DIMERS) or interstrand crosslinking. Damage can often be repaired (DNA REPAIR). If the damage is extensive, it can induce APOPTOSIS.Radiotherapy Dosage: The total amount of radiation absorbed by tissues as a result of radiotherapy.X-Rays: Penetrating electromagnetic radiation emitted when the inner orbital electrons of an atom are excited and release radiant energy. X-ray wavelengths range from 1 pm to 10 nm. Hard X-rays are the higher energy, shorter wavelength X-rays. Soft x-rays or Grenz rays are less energetic and longer in wavelength. The short wavelength end of the X-ray spectrum overlaps the GAMMA RAYS wavelength range. The distinction between gamma rays and X-rays is based on their radiation source.

Expression of phospho-Elk-1 in rat gut after the whole body gamma irradiation. (1/35)

Gastrointestinal form is the second stage of acute radiation syndrome (ARS) with a threshold dose of 8 Gy in man. It represents an absolutely lethal clinical-pathological unit, necro-hemorrhagic enteritis and proctocolitis, with unknown causal therapy. Elk-1 is a protein acting as a transcription factor activating specified genes. The purpose of our study was to examine the expression of phospho-Elk-1 in irradiated jejunum and transversal colon of rats with radiation-induced enterocolitis and to assess the importance of this transcriptional factor as a biodosimetric marker of radiation-induced enteropathy. The laboratory rats were randomly divided into 21 groups, 10 animals per group, and irradiated with whole body gamma-irradiation of 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 Gy. Samples of jejunum and transversal colon were taken 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours later, immunohisto-chemically stained, and the phospho-Elk-1 expression was examined using computer image analysis. A group of 10 sham-irradiated animals was used as control. Significantly increased expression of phospho-Elk-1 in rat jejunum has been found in all time intervals after irradiation by sublethal doses of 1 and 5 Gy, whereas after the irradiation by lethal doses, the expression of phospho-Elk-1 in rat jejunum varied considerably. Significantly increased expression of phospho-Elk-1 in transversal colon has also been found in the first days after irradiation by sublethal doses of 1 and 5 Gy. After irradiation by lethal doses, there was no uniform pattern of the changes in the expression of phospho-Elk-1 in rat transversal colon. The detection of phospho-Elk-1 might be considered as a suitable and very sensitive biodosimetric marker of radiation-induced injury of small and large intestine. According to our knowledge, this is the first study on the phospho-Elk-1 expression in irradiated jejunum and transversal colon in the rat.  (+info)

Transient impairment of hippocampus-dependent learning and memory in relatively low-dose of acute radiation syndrome is associated with inhibition of hippocampal neurogenesis. (2/35)

Neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus, which occurs constitutively, is vulnerable to ionizing radiation. In the relatively low-dose exposure of acute radiation syndrome (ARS), the change in the adult hippocampal function is poorly understood. This study analyzed the changes in apoptotic cell death and neurogenesis in the DGs of hippocampi from adult ICR mice with single whole-body gamma-irradiation using the TUNEL method and immunohistochemical markers of neurogenesis, Ki-67 and doublecortin (DCX). In addition, the hippocampus-dependent learning and memory tasks after single whole-body gamma-irradiation were examined in order to evaluate the hippocampus-related behavioral dysfunction in the relatively low-dose exposure of ARS. The number of TUNEL-positive apoptotic nuclei in the dentate gyrus (DG) was increased 6-12 h after acute gamma-irradiation (a single dose of 0.5 to 4 Gy). In contrast, the number of Ki-67- and DCX-positive cells began to decrease significantly 6 h postirradiation, reaching its lowest level 24 h after irradiation. The level of Ki-67 and DCX immunoreactivity decreased in a dose-dependent manner within the range of irradiation applied (0-4 Gy). In passive avoidance and object recognition memory test, the mice trained 1 day after acute irradiation (2 Gy) showed significant memory deficits, compared with the sham controls. In conclusion, the pattern of the hippocampus-dependent memory dysfunction is consistent with the change in neurogenesis after acute irradiation. It is suggested that a relatively low dose of ARS in adult ICR mice is sufficiently detrimental to interrupt the functioning of the hippocampus, including learning and memory, possibly through the inhibition of neurogenesis.  (+info)

Amifostine ameliorates recognition memory defect in acute radiation syndrome caused by relatively low-dose of gamma radiation. (5/35)

This study examined whether amifostine (WR-2721) could attenuate memory impairment and suppress hippocampal neurogenesis in adult mice with the relatively low-dose exposure of acute radiation syndrome (ARS). These were assessed using object recognition memory test, the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling assay, and immunohistochemical markers of neurogenesis [Ki-67 and doublecortin (DCX)]. Amifostine treatment (214 mg/kg, i.p.) prior to irradiation significantly attenuated the recognition memory defect in ARS, and markedly blocked the apoptotic death and decrease of Ki-67- and DCX-positive cells in ARS. Therefore, amifostine may attenuate recognition memory defect in a relatively low-dose exposure of ARS in adult mice, possibly by inhibiting a detrimental effect of irradiation on hippocampal neurogenesis.  (+info)

This article concisely summarizes data on the action of one of the principal and best known growth factors, the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), in a mammalian organism exposed to radiation doses inducing acute radiation syndrome. Highlighted are the topics of its real or anticipated use in radiation accident victims, the timing of its administration, the possibilities of combining G-CSF with other drugs, the ability of other agents to stimulate endogenous G-CSF production, as well as of the capability of this growth factor to ameliorate not only the bone marrow radiation syndrome but also the gastrointestinal radiation syndrome. G-CSF is one of the pivotal drugs in the treatment of radiation accident victims and its employment in this indication can be expected to remain or even grow in the future.

After irradiation with 2, 4, 7, or 12 Gy, changes in the bone marrow cells over time were examined through H&E staining and Ki-67 staining, a proliferation marker. In minipigs irradiated with 2 or 4 Gy, the myeloid hematopoietic cells disappeared drastically, starting at 30 minutes after irradiation; at the 17-hour point, only a minimal number of myeloid cells remained. On day 3 after irradiation, only some plasmacytoid cells and erythroblasts were observed; Ki-67 positive cells were hardly found (Figure 4A and B). For minipigs irradiated with 7 or 12 Gy, bone marrow tissues were obtained when they succumbed. In the histological analysis, we found that the bone marrow of these 2 minipigs was replaced with adipose cells, with a very small number of plasmacytoid myeloid cells. Moreover, few Ki-67 positive cells were found in the bone marrow (Figure 4C ...

Sixteen Lewis (RT1l) rats were exposed to sublethal dose (7Gy) of Cs-137 TBI. Irradiated rats were divided into 4 experimental groups (n=4 each) based on therapeutic approach: Group 1 - no intervention; Group 2 - normal saline injection; Group 3 - allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) [ACI (RT1a)]; and Group 4 - DRCC transplantation [ACI/LEW (RT1a/RT1l]. Saline as well as cellular therapeutics were delivered into the femoral bone at 6 hours following TBI. DRCC were created by ex-vivo fusion of bone marrow cells derived from fully MHC mismatched LEW (RT1l) and ACI (RT1a) donors. Briefly, donor and recipient cells were isolated, separately stained with the PKH26 and PKH67 fluorescent dyes, fused with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and sorted by flow cytometry.

Exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation in the event of therapeutic, accidental or intentional incident such as nuclear/radiological warfare can lead to debilitating injuries to multiple organs resulting in death within days depending on the amount of radiation dose and the quality of radiation. Unfortunately, there is not a single FDA-licensed drug approved against acute radiation injury.. Radiation damage to multiple organs often described as multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) or acute radiation syndrome (ARS) results from rapid depletion of radiosensitive cells, these cells are usually the stem or progenitor cells with high proliferative capacity; naturally, bone marrow stem cells (BMSC), and intestinal stem cells (ISC), which are extremely critical in maintaining a pool of peripheral blood cells and in maintaining villi for the absorption of nutrients are highly sensitive to radiation. One of the most efficient ways of rescuing MODS is to administer fresh cells that can repair, ...

Date: August 22, 2013. Company: BCN Biosciences, headquartered in Pasadena, Calif.. Cooperative agreement amount: BARDA will contribute $4 million over two years About the cooperative agreement: Through this cooperative agreement, BARDA will fund and collaborate on proof-of-concept studies by BCN Biosciences to determine how well a novel small molecule called Yel002, created by the company, protects DNA from damage after the bodys cells are exposed to damaging levels of radiation. This approach may increase the likelihood that cells in the gastrointestinal injury will survive exposure to acute radiation.. The GI tract is particularly sensitive to radiation but currently there is no treatment or preventive measure for this type of ionizing (damaging) radiation injury.. Acute Radiation Syndrome, also known as ARS, is a serious illness that occurs when all or most of the body receives a high dose of radiation, such as after the detonation of a nuclear device. ARS involves injuries to the bodys ...

Purpose: Discovery of agents that protect or mitigate normal tissue from radiation injury during radiotherapy, accidents, or terrorist attacks is of importance. Specifically, bone marrow insufficiency, with possible infection due to immunosuppression, can occur after total body irradiation (TBI) or regional irradiation and is a major component of the acute radiation syndrome. The purpose of this study was to identify novel radioprotectors and mitigators of the hematopoietic system.. Experimental Design: High-throughput screening of small-molecule libraries was done using viability of a murine lymphocyte line as a readout with further validation in human lymphoblastoid cells. The selected compounds were then tested for their ability to counter TBI lethality in mice.. Results: All of two major classes of antibiotics, tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones, which share a common planar ring moiety, were radioprotective. Furthermore, tetracycline protected murine hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell ...

Exposure to a moderate to high dose of ionizing radiation (IR) not only causes acute radiation syndrome but also induces long-term (LT) bone marrow (BM) injury. The latter effect of IR is primarily attributed to the induction of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) senescence. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is the only treatment recommended to be given to radiation victims soon after IR. However, clinical studies have shown that G-CSF used to treat the leukopenia induced by radiotherapy or chemotherapy in patients can cause sustained low white blood cell counts in peripheral blood. It has been suggested that this adverse effect is caused by HSC and hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) proliferation and differentiation stimulated by G-CSF, which impairs HSC self-renewal and may exhaust the BM capacity to exacerbate IR-induced LT-BM injury. C57BL/6 mice were exposed to 4 Gy γ-rays of total body irradiation (TBI) at a dose-rate of 1.08 Gy per minute, and the mice were treated with G-CSF (1 μg/each

Mass casualty scenarios of radiation exposure require high throughput biological dosimetry techniques for population triage, in order to rapidly identify individuals, who require clinical treatment. Accurate dose estimates can be made by biological dosimetry, to predict the acute radiation syndrome (ARS) within days after a radiation accident or a malicious act involving radiation. Timely information on dose is important for the medical management of acutely irradiated persons [1]. The aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of the micronuclei (MNi) scoring procedure in an experimental mode, where 500 binucleated cells were analyzed in different exposure dose ranges. Whole-body exposure was simulated in an in vitro experiment by irradiating whole blood collected from one healthy donor with 60 MeV protons and 250 keV X-rays, in the dose range of 0.3-4.0 Gy. For achieving meaningful results, sample scoring was performed by three independent persons, who followed guidelines described in ...

Study Points to Therapy for Radiation Sickness - Healthcanal.com : Healthcanal.com  Study Points to Therapy for Radiation Sickness - Healthcanal.com : Healthcanal.com
Radiation sickness, also known as acute radiation syndrome, varies with the amount of radiation an individual receives. The first signs of the disease usually are nausea and vomiting, which can be followed by fever, dizziness, weakness, bloody vomit and stools, difficulty breathing and infection. The bodys blood-making tissue, nervous system, digestive tract, lungs and cardiovascular system all can be affected. At very high doses, radiation is usually fatal.. Within the body, the effects of heavy radiation may include leakage of bacteria and the toxins they produce into the bloodstream from the digestive tract or through broken skin. Radiation effects wreak havoc with the function of the heart and lungs, disrupt the process of blood coagulation and inflame tissue throughout the body.. When bacteria or certain toxins enter the blood under normal conditions, the bodys immune system responds by dispatching neutrophils - white blood cells- - to destroy the intruders. The neutrophils release a ...

Dear Harry et al,. Even if people disagree, it makes it more pleasant for all of us who use this site on a regular basis if people can please civilly refrain from swearing at each other.. I do note that the blame the victim game is very prevalent around nuclear accidents and nuclear facilities. For example, students I had in the 90s who were from Ukraine said that the government had come up with a new syndrome, called "fear of radiation syndrome" which they used to denigrate people who were concerned about radioactive fallout from Chernobyl. Harrys comment is much the same. The government of Japan has not so far been telling the truth about the levels of radiation being released; there is no guarantee that their new scheme to finally tell the truth will be any closer to the truth. Blaming the victims - all those humans needlessly exposed to cell-damaging ionizing isotopes - does not advance not advance matters. It merely dismisses and denigrates humans who have very legitimate concerns about ...

Practical Insights for Drug Development Using the Animal Rule  Practical Insights for Drug Development Using the Animal Rule
The rationale for the use of the Animal Rule must be supported by proof-of-concept animal studies designed to ensure animal welfare, demonstrate relevance of the animal model (species susceptibility to the toxic agent and toxic response similar to humans), define the endpoint used to assess efficacy and predict human clinical benefit (eg, relief or prevention of adverse effects), ensure data quality and integrity in a contained environment, and be conducted under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) guidelines. When efficacy is demonstrated in a single study, conducted in a sufficiently well‑characterized animal model, it may be necessary to repeat the study, preferably in another laboratory for confirmation. The investigational drug/biologic used in the adequate and well-controlled animal efficacy studies and in the animal pharmacokinetics and/or pharmacodynamics studies used to select a dose and dosing regimen in humans, ideally should be manufactured under current GMP regulations and be as close ...

Read Transcript, Download (.mov, 14MB). This final segment introduces the Clinical Decision Guide, a critical benchmark that can be used by clinicians in addition to other factors to help determine if medical countermeasures are indicated for a particular patient.. The Clinical Decision Guide (CDG) is an operational quantity that is specific to a type of radionuclide and a route of exposure (e.g. cesium-137 inhalational exposure). The CDG of children (0-18 yrs) and pregnant women is 20% that of adults.. For most radionuclides, the CDG is defined by the amount (activity) of radioactive material delivering an effective dose of 0.25 Sieverts (Sv) after incorporation into the body. This dose represents about a 1.3% lifetime risk of fatal cancer attributable to the exposure. Radiation measurements from a urine sample above a CDG value suggest the potential for a higher attributable lifetime fatal cancer risk and may help clinicians decide whether or not to start countermeasure treatment.. The CDG can ...

Acute radiation syndrome - Radiation Effects Research Foundation  Acute radiation syndrome - Radiation Effects Research Foundation
Illnesses collectively called acute radiation syndrome occur within a few hours to months after exposure to high-dose radiation (from approximately 1-2 Gy to 10 Gy). The principal signs and symptoms include vomiting within a few hours, followed within days to weeks by diarrhea, reduced blood cell counts, bleeding, hair loss (epilation), and temporary male sterility. Diarrhea results from damage to cells lining the intestines, reduction in blood cells from death of hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow, and bleeding from declining blood platelets generated from such stem cells. Hair is lost due to damage to hair-root cells. Hairs do not fall out but rather become thinner and eventually break off. Sterility occurs in men from damage to sperm-generating stem cells ...

Development and Evaluation of Therapeutics in the Setting of Radiation by Karin Emmons Thompson  "Development and Evaluation of Therapeutics in the Setting of Radiation" by Karin Emmons Thompson
The possibility of an incident involving radiation exposure is at the forefront of public attention in the current global environment. With a greater number of entities possessing nuclear weapons and increased demand for nuclear power, the concern for uncontained exposure to radiation is increasing. In light of these developments, the need for treatments that may be easily stored and administered to large numbers of people who have been exposed to high doses of total body irradiation (TBI) is more urgent than ever before. Our goal was to identify and develop novel, drug-like small molecules that would exhibit radiomitigating activity for use in Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS). Hot water extracts of Cats Claw containing quinic acid have been shown to possess activity in increasing circulating white blood cells as well as promoting DNA repair. Our group previously synthesized and evaluated a series of quinic acid derivatives. Quinic acid derivative KZ-41 was identified and described as highly water

Purpose: Studies of the association between ataxia telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) gene polymorphisms and acute radiation injuries are often small in sample size, and the results are inconsistent. We conducted the first meta-analysis to provide a systematic review of published findings. Methods and Materials: Publications were identified by searching PubMed up to April 25, 2014. Primary meta-analysis was performed for all acute radiation injuries, and subgroup meta-analyses were based on clinical endpoint. The influence of sample size and radiation injury incidence on genetic effects was estimated in sensitivity analyses. Power calculations were also conducted. Results: The meta-analysis was conducted on the ATM polymorphism rs1801516, including 5 studies with 1588 participants. For all studies, the cut-off for differentiating cases from controls was grade 2 acute radiation injuries. The primary meta-analysis showed a significant association with overall acute radiation injuries (allelic model: ...

Involvement of Histamine Released From Mast Cells in Acute Radiation Dermatitis in Mice  Involvement of Histamine Released From Mast Cells in Acute Radiation Dermatitis in Mice
A possible involvement of histamine in acute radiation dermatitis in mice was investigated. The dose of 40 Gy of gamma irradiation induced erythema and edema in C57BL/6 mice treated with vehicle. However, in C57BL/6 mice treated with chlorpheniramine and WBB6F1-W/Wv mice, erythema and edema were not observed. In all of these mice, epilation and dry desquamation were induced, but bepotastine significantly reduced the extent of these areas. These results suggest that gamma irradiation-induced erythema and edema were caused by histamine released from mast cells via histamine H1 receptor, and epilation was induced by other inflammatory mediators ...

While the concept of brain death is widely accepted, no universal criteria exist for its determination. This study compared guidelines from 80 countries finding that all standards specified exclusion of confounders, irreversible coma, absent motor response, and lack of brain-stem reflexes (see Wijdicks, "The Diagnosis of Brain Death" for more information). The majority of countries had medical practice standards (88%), legal standards (69%), utilized some form of apnea testing (59%), and required more than one physicians declaration (50%). Specifics varied widely on the qualifications of the physician, methods of apnea testing, and observation time before pronouncement of death. Regional differences were also noted, such as mandatory laboratory tests in Europe and Asia. Within the United States, brain death determination has been left to each state to decide (44 states and the District of Columbia have guidelines) whereas most African countries do not. Even if guidelines are not standardized, ...

In the present studies, we demonstrated that radiation induces an apoptotic response in the CNS at times and dose ranges relevant to acute radiation toxicity. After single-dose irradiation, there was evidence of ongoing apoptosis between 4 and 24 h after exposure, which peaked at 12 h. The peak incidence of apoptosis was 0.7-1.4% of the cells in spinal cord sections. These time frames and the incidence are consistent with the observation of Li et al. (11) , who showed in rat spinal cord that apoptosis occurred throughout the first 24 h after single-dose irradiation and peaked at 12 h at an incidence of 3%. Furthermore, that study also demonstrated that this level of ongoing apoptosis translated into an 18% loss of spinal cord cells by 24 h. This magnitude of apoptosis is likely to have functional consequences for the generation of radiation toxicity.. Our present studies also showed that 16-20% of the cells undergoing apoptosis were endothelial cells, whereas the rest involved glial ...

The next day Betty was so weak she could not move from the bed. When Betty was attended by doctors, she concealed, for fear of ridicule, her extraordinary sighting, making it difficult for physicians identify and target the source of their severe discomfort. But in the end they concluded that Ms. Cash was affected by acute radiation, which forced her to be hospitalized for several weeks. In addition, to check the physical impact of the event on Betty, it should be noted that days after the incident, the woman lost nearly half of the hair of the head and had different skin rashes, some the size of a large coin, which left permanent scars. In turn, Vickie and Colby had various skin problems and skin seemed defenseless against infections following the sighting. But perhaps the most serious injury suffered by Vickie has been to her eyes, as her vision was severely affected with the passage of time, in fact his eyes were watery and irritated for 3 months.

The threat of bioterrorism, long ignored and denied, has heightened over the past few years. Recent events in Iraq, Japan, and Russia cast an ominous shadow. Two candidate agents are of special concern: smallpox and anthrax. The magnitude of the problems and the gravity of the scenarios associated with release of these organisms have been vividly portrayed by two epidemics of smallpox in Europe during the 1970s and by an accidental release of aerosolized anthrax from a Russian bioweapons facility in 1979. Efforts in the United States to deal with possible incidents involving bioweapons in the civilian sector have only recently begun and have made only limited progress. Only with substantial additional resources at the federal, state, and local levels can a credible and meaningful response be mounted. For longer-term solutions, the medical community must educate both the public and policy makers about bioterrorism and build a global consensus condemning its use.

The Relationship of Blood-Brain Barrier Damage to Survival Time after Acute Radiation Injury.  The Relationship of Blood-Brain Barrier Damage to Survival Time after Acute Radiation Injury.
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a relationship exists between alterations of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the survival time of rats exposed to supralethal irradiation. BBB alterations were produced by injection of glycerol, mercuric chloride, or by lymphatic cervical blockade. Animals were subsequently exposed to a supralethal dose of radiation, and the survival times of various groups were compared. The production of BBB alterations prior to irradiation did not influence the survival time of rats after exposure to supralethal doses of radiation suggesting that BBB damage may bear no direct relationship to the survival time after radiation injury.

Approval was granted by the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre Institutional Ethics committee to conduct this retrospective study. Criteria for inclusion of patient data in the study included a pathological confirmation of NSCLC and treatment with concurrent chemotherapy and radical or high dose palliative radiotherapy at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (East Melbourne campus). Exclusion criteria included previous thoracic RT, inconsistent radiation dose per fraction and hyper-fractionated radiation schedules. We also excluded patients with RT treatment interruptions ≥ 5 days, as mucosal recovery during the break may have confounded interpretation of the relationship between the oesophageal dose volume metrics and grade of oesophagitis.. Patient characteristics, treatment and toxicity data were extracted from paper and electronic medical records. Clinical data included the use of nasogastric (NG) or percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube, systemic steroids, proton pump inhibitors (PPI) ...

The availability of safe and effective radiation countermeasures for the military and civilian population represents a significant unmet medical need. To expedite the development of countermeasures for life-threating situations, the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) has implemented the "Animal Rule" which applies to the development and evaluation of drugs and biologics to reduce or prevent life-threatening conditions caused by exposure to lethal or permanently disabling agents where human efficacy trials are neither feasible nor ethical. In addition, the FDA has introduced several incentives (fast track, orphan drug status, and emergency use authorization [EUA]) to attract drug sponsors to develop such agents for human use. Repurposing is vital to make drugs available for life-threatening conditions. Drugs are commonly repurposed for new indications not originally envisioned. By repurposing a drug, it can be made available for human use much quicker, but this pathway also ...

Whole Foods Magazine October 2012. Tocotrienols: Emerging Science and Innovations of Vitamin E. Part 4: A Review of Groundbreaking Tocotrienol Research. An Interview with Dr. Barrie Tan. By Richard A. Passwater, Ph.D.. For 90 years, vitamin E research has produced prolific and notable discoveries, including isolation from plants, chemical identifications and total syntheses. Until the last few decades, however, attention has been given mostly to the biological activities and underlying mechanisms of alpha-tocopherol, while more than one-third of all vitamin E tocotrienol research over the last 30 years was published in the last three years (2009 2011) (Figure 10). The thriving field of tocotrienol research gave ample ground for holding the 2nd International Tocotrienol Symposium (Long Beach, CA; April 29, 2012), where researchers presented their latest tocotrienol discoveries covering research areas that include cancer, skin health, radiation countermeasures, cognitive impairment, longevity and ...

Antiradiation properties of melanin | Saratov Journal of Medical Scientific Research  Antiradiation properties of melanin | Saratov Journal of Medical Scientific Research
Summary: Aim: to examine the therapeutic efficiency of melanin administered to mice after irradiation at lethal and sublethal doses. Material and methods: Survival and hematological states were studied on CD-1 mice receiving on acute or fractionated whole-body doses on X-rays or gamma-irradiation. Melanin soluble was given with water ad libitum from the first to the 30th-day after irradiation. Results. It was shown that melanin produced a significant therapeutic and protective-therapeutic action against acute radiation injury in the dose range 6,5-7,5 Gy (LD80-LD under our conditions). Cumulative survival melanin treated mice was increased to 14,4%, in control group - 1,9%. After fractionated injury (1 Gy daily, total dose 10 Gy) all mice which consumed melanin remained alive, versus 43,7% in control. Melanin decreased radiation-induced damage and stimulated the hematopoiesis recovery after sublethal exposure (5Gy). Conclusion. The results permit to regard melanin as a therapeutic agent for ...

Creating a scientifically semi-valid super-soldier, part 5: Heart and circulatory system. So youve designed a supercreature for those hard tasks in space. Whether its a miner, a soldier or something else, they are going to be prone to damage to themselves and their suit. Or you might have a police force that has to deal with a lunatic carrying a particle beam. "No biggie!" you think, "they are designed to take some damage!" Then after a little while the cancers start popping up all over their bodies and they die horrible deaths, or keel over on the spot from acute radiation poisoning.. Dont let that happen to you! Our scientists have found various ways (I hope) to build in radiation protection regardless of that radiation being from space, the scatter of radiation of a particle beam or just some emergency repairs of your local nuclear reactor..

500 mr/hr is definitely a high radiation area as defined. In U.S. plants 100 mr/hr and above gets roped off for cleanup and decontamination, but may lay around as puddles (from leaks) on the floor for days or weeks before that gets done.. In my day annual allowable accumulated dose at a U.S. facility was 5R, no more than 3R in any quarter. During a serious emergency - like a meltdown - that could go as high as 10R. Readily measurable blood changes and symptoms of acute radiation poisoning dont start until ~50-100 Rem, and LD50/30 is upwards of 350 Rem. This is of course acute exposure, there is no really safe long term exposure.. It would take this crew sitting still in the middle of the high-dose zone for 6 hours to get 3R of dose. Since they were just driving through, it is highly unlikely they encountered anything worth screaming about. Though a giant mutant glow-in-the-dark feral bull charging the vehicle would probably qualify… §;o). ...

Climate Inaction Irresponsible - Hartford Courant  Climate Inaction Irresponsible - Hartford Courant
The global consensus on anthropogenic global warming has been born out of decades of observation, testing, research, and peer-reviewed studies (many of the latter available to the general public). The consensus is all but universal, but many, including myself, do not find the margin of doubt sufficient to preserve the current trajectory for emitting carbon. Inaction (or subordinate action) includes the potential for instability of weather patterns, decrease in crop yields, elevated ocean levels, and loss of biodiversity. There may not be a consensus as to how severe these outcomes will be, but to ignore the risk would be irresponsible. ...

Achieving and integrating breakthroughs in all of these areas will require choreographed cooperation among researchers and engineers specializing in such areas as immunology, microbiology, virology, medical infectious diseases, molecular biology, and medical countermeasure product development and manufacturing. DARPA-funded teams will be required to demonstrate their integrated platforms in five simulations during the planned four-year program; they will initially test their platforms using pathogens of their choice, but ultimately they will test using DARPA-selected pathogens, including two demonstrations in which the identity of the pathogen will remain opaque to the teams until the 60-day clock starts. To ensure the developed platforms can produce a quality product with a viable pathway for regulatory review, each team will be required to complete a Phase I clinical safety trial before the end of the program. A benefit of the nucleic-acid-based approach to limiting the spread of infection is ...

X-ray catheterization is used to guide minimally invasive procedures including percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), involving diffuse and multiple vessel disease and total chronic occlusion as well as electrophysiology (EP) procedures. While the medical benefit to patients outweighs the procedural risk, long fluoroscopy times associated with complex interventions have resulted in acute radiation injuries to patients. Radiation induced cancers have also become a concern in younger patient populations. With the increased number, diversity and complexity of the interventions performed, there has been a growing interest in reducing the long-term exposure risk to medical personnel (interventionists).. Conventional methods to reduce in radiation exposure, however, impact and often degrade diagnostic image quality. Catheterization procedures focus on a small portion of the anatomy forming the central region of the image with the periphery providing contextual information. Thus, decreasing the ...

TYWKIWDBI (Tai-Wiki-Widbee): The demon core  TYWKIWDBI ("Tai-Wiki-Widbee"): The "demon core"
While lowering the top reflector, Slotins screwdriver slipped a fraction of an inch, allowing the top reflector to fall into place around the core. Instantly there was a flash of blue light and a wave of heat across Slotins skin; the core had become supercritical, releasing a massive burst of neutron radiation. He quickly knocked the two halves apart, stopping the chain reaction and likely saving the lives of the other men in the laboratory. Slotins body positioning over the apparatus also shielded the others from much of the neutron radiation. He received a massively lethal dose in under a second and died nine days later from acute radiation poisoning. The nearest physicist to Slotin, Alvin C. Graves, was watching over Slotins shoulder and was thus partially shielded by him, receiving a high but non-lethal radiation dose. Graves was hospitalized for several weeks with severe radiation poisoning, developed chronic neurological and vision problems as a result of the exposure, suffered a ...

Assessments of diseases are usually performed by a combination of clinical symptoms, signs and objective measurements. Biochemical markers of inflammation are important in evaluation of treatment of acute and chronic diseases. In this thesis we have focused on two inflammatory diseases: acute radiation proctitis and rheumatoid arthritis. We examined established and new biomarkers, with focus on two closely related proteins, calprotectin (S100A8/S100A9) and S100A12 (ENRAGE). These and other biomarkers were compared to clinical symptoms and signs with the aim of defining their usefulness in monitoring the course of the diseases. Characterizing the changes induced by radiation therapy to the pelvic region showed incongruent time profiles in symptoms, histological scoring of inflammation and biochemical measurements. Compared to the examination before start of radiation therapy, biopsies from rectal mucosa showed a maximal inflammation at the first examination during radiation therapy, while ...

Acute Enteritis, in most cases is defined as a condition of inflammation of the small intestine as a result of eating and drinking contaminated water and foods infected by virus and bacteria. But according to the study by the University Hospital Aintree, chronic radiation enteritis is an increasing problem, as more patients receive radiotherapy as part of their cancer therapy and as the long-term survival of these patients improves(a). Other study indicated that acute radiation enteritis is almost inevitable in the curative treatment of malignant tumors of the abdomen and pelvic area. It is frequently a self-limiting disorder of intestinal function associated with reversible mucosal changes of the intestine(b). The prevalence of the disease although is decreasing, it still affects millions (approx 1 in 83 or 1.20% or 3.3 million people in USA ) of people in the U.S alone, according to the statistic. Chronic enteritis is a condition of inflammation caused by other health conditions, such as ...

Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions has become a global consensus in response to global warming and climate change, especially to China, the largest CO2 emitter in the world. Most studies have focused on CO2 emissions from the production sector, however, the household sector plays an important role in the total energy-related CO2 emissions. This study formulates an integrated model based on logarithmic mean Divisia index methodology and a system dynamics model to dynamically simulate household energy consumption and CO2 emissions under different conditions. Results show the following: (1) the integrated model performs well in calculating the contribution of influencing factors on household CO2 emissions and analyzing the options for CO2 emission mitigation; (2) the increase in income is the dominant driving force of household CO2 emissions, and as a result of the improved standard of living in China a sustained increase in household CO2 emissions can be expected; (3) with decreasing energy intensity

Purpose: It was recently reported that the organic arsenic compound darinaparsin (DPS) is a cytotoxin and radiosensitizer of tumor cells in vitro and in subcutaneous xenograft tumors. Surprisingly, it was also found that DPS protects normal intestinal crypt epithelial cells (CECs) from clonogenic death after ionizing radiation (IR). Here we tested the DPS radiosensitizing effect in a clinically relevant model of prostate cancer and explored the radioprotective effect and mechanism of DPS on CECs. Methods and Materials: The radiation modification effect of DPS was tested in a mouse model of orthotopic xenograft prostate cancer and of IR-induced acute gastrointestinal syndrome. The effect of DPS on CEC DNA damage and DNA damage responses was determined by immunohistochemistry. Results: In the mouse model of IR-induced gastrointestinal syndrome, DPS treatment before IR accelerated recovery from body weight loss and increased animal survival. DPS decreased post-IR DNA damage and cell death, ...

Abdominal Tumors - Liver - DR. JULIUS LIPTAK  Abdominal Tumors - Liver - DR. JULIUS LIPTAK
There is no known effective treatment for cats and dogs with nodular and diffuse liver tumors as liver tumors are generally considered resistant to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. However, three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy has been reported with objective responses in five of six dogs and minimal acute radiation effects; and the use of adjuvant gemcitabine in dogs with incompletely excised massive HCC, nodular HCC, and diffuse HCC has been reported in 18 dogs with good results.. Palliative treatment options, especially for nodular and diffuse hepatic tumors, include, microwave ablation, embolization, and chemoembolization, but these modalities are not widely available.. PROGNOSIS. The prognosis following surgical resection of massive HCC in dogs and bile duct adenomas in cats is very good. The majority of cats and dogs are cured. In one study of 42 dogs with massive HCC treated with liver lobectomy, two dogs (5%) died intraoperatively secondary to blood loss as a result of ...

MIST meeting, 30 November 2007  MIST meeting, 30 November 2007
After 35 years manned space exploration of the Moon and Mars is back on the agenda. With it comes the far greater concern for the health risks to astronauts due to Space Weather events causing acute radiation sickness and/or death. The probability is very high that a significant Solar Proton Event will envelope a space craft on these longer missions.. Several innovative Active Shield mitigation solutions, reminiscent of Star Trek "deflector shields", have being proposed along with material shielding and biochemical protection[1].The work presented here concerns recent modelling and laboratory experiments done on the artificial or mini-magnetosphere concept.. The idea, first seriously considered in the 1960s, is to put a portable artificial magnetosphere around the space craft to create a magnetically confined plasma barrier, not unlike an in-side out tokamak. This solution imitates the terrestrial magnetosphere, it deflects or buffers much of the worst effects of SEPs and prevents otherwise ...

In the 1979 movie The China Syndrome, reporter Kimberly Wells (played by Jane Fonda) witnesses an accident at a nuclear power plant and then uncovers a plot to keep it a secret in order to protect the power companys billion-dollar investment. The film was a gift to the political left, which at the time opposed the pursuit of nuclear energy to reduce our addiction to foreign oil. In some liberal circles, that opposition remains strong.. The film, along with real-life accidents such as Three Mile Island (also in 1979), in which no one was killed, and Chernobyl (1986), which, according to the World Nuclear Association, killed two Chernobyl plant workers on the night of the accident, and a further 28 people within a few weeks, as a result of acute radiation poisoning, account for much of our modern thinking about all things nuclear.

Recommended maximum intake of alcoholic beverages - Wikipedia  Recommended maximum intake of alcoholic beverages - Wikipedia
There is no global consensus on recommended maximum intake (or safe limits) of the drug alcohol (also known formally as ethanol). The guidelines provided by health agencies of governments are varied and are shown below. These recommendations concerning maximum intake are distinct from any legal restrictions (e.g. driving after consuming alcohol) that may apply in those countries. The American Heart Association recommends that those who do not already consume alcoholic beverages should not start doing so because of the negative long-term effects of alcohol consumption. The recommended limits for daily or weekly consumption provided in the various countries guidelines generally apply to the average healthy adult. However, many guidelines also set out numerous conditions under which alcohol intake should be further restricted or eliminated. They may stipulate that, among other things, people with liver, kidney, or other chronic disease, cancer risk factors, smaller body size, young or advanced ...

As a result, the workers may now be invited to bank their stem cells for future treatment should they become ill.. High levels of radiation exposure may cause illness from radiation syndrome - destruction of the bone marrow, skin, gastrointestinal tract and lungs - which may lead to death. Survival rates of sufferers decrease with increasing intensity of radiation. Japanese authorities are proposing harvesting blood stem cells from the workers should they fall ill and require stem cell transplants later. The procedure is currently used for some cancer patients whose bone marrow has been destroyed following extensive chemo- or radiation therapies. Patients take drugs to increase the release of blood stem cells from the bone marrow, which are later harvested from the blood and stored. According to ...

The H5N1 avian influenza virus is firmly established among animals in Asia and has begun to extend its reach into Europe. From 7-9 November, more than 400 animal and human health experts, senior policy makers, economists and industry representatives will gather in Geneva to work towards a global consensus to control the virus in domestic animals and prepare for a potential human influenza pandemic. The disease in animals caused by the H5N1 influenza virus has resulted in the culling of at least 150 million birds in the last two years. H5N1 remains for the moment an animal disease, but the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that H5N1 is a virus that has the potential to ignite a human influenza pandemic. While no one can predict the timing or severity of the next influenza pandemic, governments around the world are taking the threat seriously. A series of international meetings held over the last ten weeks will culminate in the Geneva meeting. The meeting is co-organized by WHO, the Food ...

efoods]"This policy would seek to: (1) mitigate illness and prevent death; (2) sustain critical infrastructure; and (3) complement and supplement State, local, territorial, and tribal government medical countermeasure distribution capacity," the order said. "The US Postal Service has the capacity for rapid residential delivery of medical countermeasures for self administration across all communities in the United States," the order added. The US Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano were instructed to work with the post office to develop a "dispensing model for US cities to respond to a large-scale biological attack, with anthrax as the primary threat consideration." The order calls for the model to be drawn up within 180 days, but gives no details as to whether the idea of using the US postal system to assist Americans in the wake of a biological attack is a new one. The United States has sought to bolster its capacity to respond ...

Radiation proctitis - Wikipedia  Radiation proctitis - Wikipedia
Radiation proctitis (and the related radiation colitis) is inflammation and damage to the lower parts of the colon after exposure to x-rays or other ionizing radiation as a part of radiation therapy. Radiation proctitis most commonly occurs after treatment for cancers such as cervical cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer. Radiation proctitis involves the lower intestine, primarily the sigmoid colon and the rectum and is part of the conditions known as pelvic radiation disease and radiation enteropathy. Radiation proctitis can occur at two times after treatment: Acute radiation proctitis - symptoms occur in the first few weeks after therapy. These symptoms include diarrhea and the urgent need to defecate, often with pain while doing so (tenesmus). Acute radiation proctitis usually resolves without treatment after several months, but symptoms may improve with butyrate enemas. This acute phase is due to direct damage of the lining (epithelium) of the colon. Chronic radiation proctitis - is a ...

Animal Models for Assessing Countermeasures to Bioterrorism Agents (2011) - The National Academies  Animal Models for Assessing Countermeasures to Bioterrorism Agents (2011) - The National Academies
The Transformational Medical Technologies (TMT) has been a unique component of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) medical biodefense efforts since 2006. Its mission is to advance countermeasure research and development in support of the broader goal of the DoD to protect warfighters from emerging infectious diseases and future genetically engineered biological weapons. The TMT, using advanced science and technology approaches, focused on the development of roadspectrum countermeasures that target common host and pathogen pathways or enhance the hosts immune response. Many of these pathogens are lethal or cause such debilitating diseases in humans that it is ethically inappropriate to test the efficacy of these countermeasures in human volunteers. In lieu of human participants, these products may be tested in animals and approved for human use under the provisions of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)s 2002 Animal Rule. The reliance on animal models for the development and licensure of ...

High-intensity exercise may be bad for the bowels - Arizonas Family  High-intensity exercise may be bad for the bowels - Arizona's Family
HealthDay Reporter. (HealthDay News) -- When it comes to stomach discomfort during exercise, forget that old adage no pain, no gain. New research suggests that excessive strenuous exercise may lead to gut damage.. The stress response of prolonged vigorous exercise shuts down gut function, said lead author Ricardo Costa.. The redistribution of blood flow away from the gut and towards working muscles creates gut cell injury that may lead to cell death, leaky gut, and systemic immune responses due to intestinal bacteria entering general circulation, Costa added. Hes a senior researcher with the department of nutrition, dietetics and food at Monash University in Australia.. Researchers observed that the risk of gut injury and impaired function seems to increase along with the intensity and duration of exercise.. The problem is dubbed exercise-induced gastrointestinal syndrome. The researchers reviewed eight previously done studies that looked at this issue.. Two hours appears to be the ...

Report Finds U.S. Poorly Prepared For Bioterrorism - Trust for Americas Health  Report Finds U.S. Poorly Prepared For Bioterrorism - Trust for America's Health
Wall Street Journal The scenario laid out by the movie "Contagion," about an outbreak of a new virus, was scary enough.. But while "naturally occurring disease remains a serious threat, a thinking enemy armed with these same pathogens, or with multi-drug-resistant or synthetically engineered pathogens could produce catastrophic consequences.". So says a new report from the Bipartisan WMD Terrorism Research Center that finds the U.S. woefully unprepared to deal with many aspects of different bioterrorism scenarios. The WMD Center is a not-for-profit research and education organization.. It urges the government to focus on improving its ability to detect and deal with large-scale events, both of contagious and non-contagious pathogens. Specifically, it recommends focusing on aspects of the response that now earn a "D" grade: detection and diagnosis; improving the development, approval, availability and dispensing of medical countermeasures; and improving the capability to medically manage an ...

They display a characteristic ruffled border where proteases and acid are secreted, allowing for bone resorption and formation of resorption pits in the bone surface [25]. Osteoclast morphology varies between mammals and teleosts (bony fishes), and also between different groups of teleosts [20]. In the skeleton of young zebrafish for example, osteoclast activity is carried out by both mononucleated and multinucleated cells [26]. In fact, there is an ontogenetic progression from mono- towards multinucleated osteoclasts. In juvenile zebrafish, bone resorbing cells in the developing lower jaw are. at first mononucleated. In thin skeletal tissues such as the neural arch, mononucleated cells are even predominant in adults [26]. In rainbow trout, scale resorption Selleck BIBF1120 PD0325901 is predominantly carried out by mononucleated osteoclasts [27]. Although in mammals these mononucleated cells are often just regarded as osteoclast precursors, in fish mononucleated osteoclasts are active bone ...
