Occurrence of mammary tumors in rats after exposure to tritium beta rays and 200-kVp X rays 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The RBE for tritium was estimated in reference to 200-kVp X rays, using acceleration of breast tumor appearance in the female Sprague-Dawley rat as the end-point. Chronic X-ray doses of 0.3-2.0 Gy were delivered over 10 days. Intraperitoneal injections of tritiated water ranging in concentrations from 45 to 370 MBq/100 g body wt were administered, followed by four additional injections at 2-day intervals and half of the initial concentrations. Seventy-five percent of the total tritium dose was delivered to the mammary gland within the first 10 days and 95% within the first 20 days after the start of the tritium exposure. RBE estimations were based on various criteria including the tumor incidence per Gy at 450 days postirradiation and the time required to induce tumors in 50% of the animals at risk. The results suggest that tritium beta rays are about 1.1-1.3 times more effective than chronic 200-kVp X rays for acceleration of the appearance of rat mammary tumors. However, the uncertainties involved in these calculations are such that the effects of tritium beta rays could not be reliably distinguished from those of chronic 200-kVp X rays. Measured differences in RBE values were slightly larger for the comparison between acute and chronic X rays than for the comparison between chronic tritium beta rays and chronic X rays. 相似文献

Mammary tumour development was followed in two experiments involving a total of 2229 female Sprague-Dawley rats exposed to various doses of X or gamma rays at different dose rates. The data for another 462 rats exposed to tritiated water in one of these experiments were also analyzed. The incidence of adenocarcinomas and fibroadenomas at a given time after exposure increased linearly in proportion to total radiation dose for most groups. However, no significant increase in adenocarcinomas was observed with chronic gamma exposures up to 1.1 Gy, and the increase in fibroadenomas observed with chronic gamma exposures at a dose rate of 0.0076 Gy h-1 up to an accumulated dose of 3.3 Gy was small compared to that observed after acute exposures. The incidence of all mammary tumors increased almost linearly with the log of dose rate in the range 0.0076 to 26.3 Gy h-1 for 3 Gy total dose of gamma rays. The effects of X rays appeared to be less influenced by dose rate than were the effects of gamma rays. 相似文献

The influence of antibiotic decontamination of Pseudomonas contamination of the GI tract prior to whole-body neutron or gamma irradiation was studied. It was observed that for fission neutron doses greater than 5.5 Gy, cyclotron-produced neutron doses greater than 6.7 Gy, and 137Cs gamma-ray doses greater than 14.4 Gy, the median survival time of untreated rats was relatively constant at 4.2 to 4.5 days, indicating death was due to intestinal injury. Within the dose range of 3.5 to 5.5 Gy of fission neutrons, 4.9 to 6.7 Gy of cyclotron-produced neutrons, and 9.6 to 14.4 Gy of gamma rays, median survival time of these animals was inversely related to dose and varied from 12 to 4.6 days. This change in survival time with dose reflects a transition in the mechanisms of acute radiation death from pure hematopoietic, to a combination of intestinal and hematopoietic, to pure intestinal death. Decontamination of the GI tract with antibiotics prior to irradiation increased median survival time 1 to 5 days in this transitional dose range. Contamination of the intestinal flora with Pseudomonas aeruginosa prior to irradiation reduced median survival time 1 to 5 days in the same radiation dose range. Pseudomonas-contaminated animals irradiated within this transitional dose range had maximum concentrations of total bacteria and Pseudomonas in their livers at the time of death. However, liver bacteria concentration was usually higher in gamma-irradiated animals, due to a smaller contribution of hematopoietic injury in neutron-irradiated animals. The effects of both decontamination of the GI tract and Pseudomonas contamination of the GI tract were negligible in the range of doses in which median survival time was dose independent, i.e., in the pure "intestinal death" dose range. Finally, despite the marked changes in survival time produced by decontamination or Pseudomonas contamination in the "transitional dose range," these treatments had little effect on ultimate survival after irradiation as measured by the LD50/5 day and the LD50/30 day end points. The implications of these results with respect to treatment of acute radiation injury after whole-body irradiation are discussed. 相似文献

Mice exposed to gamma-quanta during 47 and 82 days at a dose-rate of 1.3 mGy/h and cumulative doses of 1.45 and 2.54 Gy, respectively, were subsequently subjected to a single acute irradiation with a dose of 20 Gy. Repair of DNA damages induced by the acute exposure was shown to proceed in the brain, pulmonary and splenic tissues of chronically exposed mice more readily than in the tissues of mice not subjected to chronic irradiation. The data obtained indicate that the induced adaptive response activates DNA repair in tissues of mice exposed to long-term low-level radiation. 相似文献

Micronuclei induced in erythrocytes of Cyprinus carpio (teleostei, pisces) by X-rays and colchicine.
In the present work the induction of micronuclei in erythrocytes of Cyprinus carpio treated with X-rays and colchicine is studied for the evaluation of mutagenic effects of both clastogenic and mitoclastic (spindle poisoning) agents in this system.Three different experiments were performed treating groups of laboratory-reproduced animals with (1) single doses of X-rays (0.1, 0.5 and 2Gy); (2) a single i.p. injection of colchicine at the concentrations: 1.6x10(-2), 8x10(-2), 0.4 and 2mg/kg b.w. so as to mimic an acute exposure to the agent and (3) six repeated i.p. injections of the first three concentrations of colchicine, over a period of 18 days, so as to mimic a chronic exposure. Repeated blood samplings were performed by cardiac puncture over a period of about 2 months after the treatment and micronucleus frequencies were determined at multiple times on the same individuals after mutagen exposure. A dose-dependent increase in the micronucleus frequency was observed in irradiated fish and a peak value detected at 21 days. Slight increases of micronucleus frequencies were also observed in both colchicine experiments only for the highest concentrations at the earliest sampling time. Higher concentrations of colchicine clearly showed a lethal effect. According to the present data the micronucleus frequency induced by the highest colchicine dose is comparable to that observed after 0.1Gy of X-ray irradiation. 相似文献

Abstract: Different age groups of potato tuber moth, Phthorimaea operculella Zeller, eggs were exposed to gamma irradiation at incremental doses up to 150 Gy (the upper dose limit allowed for potato sprout inhibition). Young eggs were more likely to be sensitive to gamma irradiation than older eggs and the sensitivity level declined with age of the eggs. The exposure of 3–3.5-day-old eggs to 150 Gy resulted in a 26% increase in the egg incubation period compared with unirradiated eggs. The minimum dose required to prevent 4–4.5-day-old eggs from hatching was 1 kGy. When eggs were exposed to 75 Gy, 9.7% of larvae survived to the adult stage but emerged as deformed moths. At 100 and 125 Gy, 10.2 and 9.6% of larvae pupated, respectively, although no adult eclosion was recorded, whereas at 150 Gy, the larvae remained in mid-instar stage and eventually died. Gamma irradiation doses applied to inhibit potato sprouting could be also considered as a valuable control tool against potato tuber moth infestations. 相似文献

The forming processes of micronucleated follicular thyrocytes in thyroid gland of mature Wistar rats under exposure to the prolonged low-intensity gamma-radiation with 5 and 50 cGy (dose rates: 25, 400 microGy/h; duration: 55, 80 days) were investigated. The chronic exposure to low-intensity gamma-radiation in both doses invokes the frequency of micronuclated thyrocytes three times higher in comparison with control animals. As a result of the small-sized micronuclei formation prevalence in irradiated group, the average size of micronuclei was 1.4-2 times lower than control values. This phenomenon can be reproduced in model experiments with hemithyroidectomized animals exposured to acute gamma-radiation with 2-4 Gy. The obtained results show high sensitivity of micronucleus test to the early determination of radiation-induced genetic damages in follicular epithelium of thyroid gland. 相似文献

The influence of 60Co gamma-ray irradiation of low intensity (0.35 Gy/min) on the viability of Escherichia coli B/r and Escherichia coli BS-1 bacteria cultivated in salt buffer in concentration of 10(8) cell/ml was investigated. It was shown that under the doses induced the cell killing about 60-75%, the irradiated bacteria, like intact cell, were killed during the incubation process, while after the doses induced the cell killing above 99% of cell population, the bacteria viability of the both strains was increased. The increase reaches a certain value on the 2-5 the days of bacterial incubation in this conditions. The nature of observed phenomenology is vague for the present. 相似文献

Male Wistar rats were exposed by total gamma-irradiation at 1 Gy, Reactions of skeletal muscle arterioles and mean arterial pressure on intravenous doses of noradrenaline (0.1, 0.3, 1.0 and 3.0 micrograms/kg) was studied by intravital microscopy in acute experiments 1, 3 and 5-6 days after irradiation. The exposure causes arterial hypotension on day 1 after that as well as marked reduction of spontaneous arteriole vasomotions and decrease of arteriole constrictions at any doses and dates under study. There are no differences of arterial pressure reaction amplitudes in per cent between control and exposed animals at any doses and dates under investigation. 相似文献

To investigate the potential efficacy of fission neutrons from a fast-neutron reactor for the treatment of radioresistant tumors, the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) and tolerance dose of fission neutrons in canine skin were determined. The forelimbs of 34 healthy mongrel dogs received a single dose of fission neutrons (5.6, 6.8, 8.2, 9.6 or 11 Gy) or 137Cs gamma rays (10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 Gy). Based on observations of radiodermatitis for each radiation, the single-fraction RBE of fission neutrons in the sixth month was calculated as approximately 3. The tolerance doses of fission neutrons and gamma rays, defined as the highest doses giving no moist desquamation on the irradiated skin in the recovery phase, were estimated as 7.6 Gy and 20 Gy, respectively. The tolerance dose of 7.6 Gy of fission neutrons included 5.0 Gy of fast neutrons possessing high anti-tumor effects and 1.4 x 10(12) n/cm2 of thermal neutrons, which could be applicable to neutron capture therapy (NCT). The combination of fast-neutron therapy and NCT using a fast-neutron reactor might be useful for the treatment of radioresistant tumors. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to estimate the radio-protective activity of melanin for the reproductive status of Wistar rats. Wistar rats were exposed in utero either to the single gamma-irradiation on the tenth day of embryogenesis with the dose of 1 Gy or to the chronic gamma-irradiation with the total dose of 1 Gy during the first 10 days of embryogenesis. Such things like the ability of the rats to conceive, the embryogeny and early postnatal ontogeny of rat's posterity were studied. These doses of the radiation and the melanin did not produce the significant damages of the reproductive function of the survival offsprings of the first generation. The possible mechanisms of radio-protective effect of melanin on reproductive system of animals which have been exposed with the nonsterilizing doses at different mean dose rate were discussed. 相似文献

Earlier we have established the genetic effects of low dose chronic irradiation in bank vole (somatic and germ cells, embryos), in pond carp (fertilized eggs, embryos, fry) and in laboratory mice (somatic and germ cells) in the range of doses from near-background to 10 cGy. These low dose effects observed in mammals and fish are not expected from extrapolation of high dose experiments. For understanding reasons this discrepancy the comparative analysis of genetic efficiency of low dose chronic irradiation and the higher doses of acute irradiation was carried out with natural populations of bank vole which inhabited the two sites differing in ground of radionuclide deposition. For comparing efficiency the linear regression model of dose-effect curve was used. Dose-effect equations were obtained for animals from two chronically irradiated bank vole populations. The mean population absorbed doses were in the range 0.04-0.68 cGy, the main part of absorbed doses consisted of external radiation of animals exposed to 137Cs gamma-rays. Dose-effect equations for acute irradiation to 137Cs gamma-rays (10-100 cGy) were determined for the same populations. Comparison of genetic efficiency was made by extrapolation, using regression coefficient beta and doubling dose estimation. For chronic exposure the doubling doses calculated from low-dose experiments are 0.1-2 cGy and the doubling doses determined from high-dose experiments are in the range of 5-20 cGy. Our hypothesis that the doubling dose estimate is calculated in higher-dose ionizing radiation experiments should be much higher than the deduced from the low dose line regression equation was verified. The doubling dose estimates for somatic cells of bank vole and those for germ cells of laboratory mice are in close agreement. The radiosensitivity of bank vole chromosomes were shown is practically the same as that for human lymphocytes since doubling dose estimates for acute irradiation close to each other. For low LET radiation a higher genetic efficiency of chronic low doses in comparison with the higher doses of acute gamma-irradiation (137Cs source) was proved by three methods. 相似文献

Radiation protection of agrarian ecosystems should be considered as an integral part of a system for radiation protection of environment, with a special concern to agroecosystems' features. A methodology is proposed for an assessment of maximum permissible doses of radiation impact for agrocenoses based on an unified analysis of available data about effects of radiation in cultivated plants. It is considered as a component of radiation protection system for agricultural ecosystems. Critical doses and dose rates are estimated for crops under different exposure situations. It is shown that doses that could result in decreasing indexes of productivity and survival for main crops below 50% are unlikely up to 170-200 Gy and 15-17 Gy at an acute exposure of dormant seeds and vegetative plants, correspondingly. At chronic exposure, above 10% loss of productivity in crops is not expected at dose rates below 3-10 mGy/h. 相似文献

The effect of fractionated doses of γ-irradiation (2Gy per fraction over 5 days), as delivered in cancer radiotherapy, was compared with acute doses of 10 and 2Gy, in A549 cells. A549 cells were found to be relatively more radioresistant if the 10Gy dose was delivered as a fractionated regimen. Microarray analysis showed upregulation of DNA repair and cell cycle arrest genes in the cells exposed to fractionated irradiation. There was intense activation of DNA repair pathway-associated genes (DNA-PK, ATM, Rad52, MLH1 and BRCA1), efficient DNA repair and phospho-p53 was found to be translocated to the nucleus of A549 cells exposed to fractionated irradiation. MCF-7 cells responded differently in fractionated regimen. Silencing of the Rad52 gene in fractionated group of A549 cells made the cells radiosensitive. The above result indicated increased radioresistance in A549 cells due to the activation of Rad52 gene. 相似文献

Germline mutation induction at mouse minisatellite loci by paternal low-dose (0.125-1 Gy) exposure to chronic (1.66 x 10(-4) Gy min(-1)) low-linear energy transfer (low-LET) gamma-irradiation and high-LET fission neutrons (0.003 Gy min(-1)) was studied at pre-meiotic stages of spermatogenesis. Both types of radiation produced linear dose-response curves for mutation of the paternal allele. In contrast to previous results using higher doses, the pattern of induction of minisatellite mutation after chronic gamma-irradiation was similar to acute (0.5 Gy min(-1)) exposure to X-rays, indicating that the elevated mutation rate was independent of the ability of the cell to repair damage induced immediately or over a period of up to 100 h. Chronic exposure to fission neutrons was more effective than acute or chronic low-LET exposure (relative biological effectiveness, RBE=3.36). The data also provide strong support for the previous conclusion that increases in minisatellite mutation rate are not caused by radiation-induced DNA damage at minisatellite loci themselves, but rather from damage induced by ionising radiation elsewhere in the genome/cell. 相似文献

Health effects as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant occurred in 1986 are considered in the paper. Wrong prognosis of the health effects with respect to mortality and morbidity among the population exposed to low radiation doses is shown. Proven increase in thyroid cancer cases among people who were children aged from 0 to 18 at the time of the accident is shown. Linear relationship between thyroid cancer cases and dose to thyroid ranged from 0.2 to 4.0 Gy is considered. An additional absolute risk of thyroid cancer in children varies in the range 1.9-2.6 cases per 10(4) person-year Gy. During the fifteen years following the accident no cases of acute and chronic radiation sickness have been revealed because the population living in contaminated areas received low radiation doses. Also, exposures to low radiation doses did not result in excess of malignant tumors among population. In some cases the outcomes of acute radiation sickness were as follows: radiation damages to the skin, cancer cataracts, development of oncopathology. 相似文献

Repopulation kinetics of rat rhabdomyosarcoma tumors following single and fractionated doses of low-LET and high-LET radiation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Measurements were made of clonogenic cell survival in rat rhabdomyosarcoma tumors as a function of time following in situ irradiation with single or fractionated doses of 225-kVp X rays or with 557-MeV/u neon ions in the distal position of a 4-cm extended-peak ionization region. Single doses of 20 Gy of X rays or 7 Gy of peak neon ions reduced the initial surviving fraction to approximately 0.025 for each modality. Daily fractionated doses (four fractions in 3 days) of either peak neon ions (1.75 Gy per fraction) or X rays (6 Gy per fraction) achieved a cell survival of approximately 0.02-0.03 after the fourth dose of radiation. In the single-dose experiments, significant 5- and 10-fold decreases in the fraction of clonogenic cells were observed between the third and fourth days after irradiation with peak neon ions and X rays, respectively. After the sixth day postirradiation, the residual clonogenic cells exhibited a rapid burst of proliferation leading to doubling times for the surviving cell fractions of approximately 1.5 days. Radiation-induced growth delay was consistent with the cellular repopulation dynamics. In the fractionated-dose experiments with both radiation modalities, a large delayed decrease in cell survival was observed at 1-3 days after completion of the fractionated-dose schedule. Cellular repopulation was consistent with postirradiation tumor volume regression and regrowth for both radiation modalities. The extent of decrease in survival following the four-fraction radiation schedule was approximately two times greater in X-irradiated than in neon-ion-irradiated tumors that produced the same survival level immediately after the fourth dose. Mechanisms underlying the marked reduction in cell survival 3-4 days postirradiation are discussed, including the possible role of a toxic host cell response against the irradiated tumor cells. 相似文献

On mice lines BALB/c and CBA/lac was performed the study of molecular-genetics effects in mice progeny after the chronic (dose rate -0.0017 Gy/day, total dose -0.36 Gy) and acute (dose range 1-3 Gy) exposure of y-radiation on the parents. For variability analysis was used technique of amplification DNA with series of random primers (RAPD-assay). Random primers were used as single primer and in mixture of ones. In this work were held the comparative analysis of the genetic radiosensitivity for stem spermatogonia and spermatides. After the acute exposure the dose dependence for levels of polymorphism of RAPD-markers were obtained. After the chronic irradiation, significant differences from control group were obtained only by use primers mixture M1. Comparative analysis of the genetic radiosensitivity of different stages of mice spermatogenesis are display is similar sensitivity of stem spermatogonia and spermatides after doses of irradiation 1 Gy and 3 Gy. Indicated that after irradiation by dose 2 Gy, spermatogonia are more sensitivity than spermatides. 相似文献

Biological dosimetry: the potential use of radiation-induced apoptosis in human T-lymphocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

An assay for biological dosimetry based on the induction of apoptosis in human T-lymphocytes is described. Radiation-induced
apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometric identification of cells displaying apoptosis-associated DNA condensation. CD4 and
CD8 T-lymphocytes were analysed. They were recognized on the basis of their cell-surface antigens. Four parameters were measured
for both cell types: cell size, granularity, antigen immunofluorescence and DNA content. Apoptosis was quantified as the fraction
of CD4-, or CD8-positive cells with a characteristic reduction of cell size and DNA content. At doses below 1 Gy, levels of
radiation-induced apoptosis increased for up to 5 days after irradiation. Optimal dose discrimination was observed 4 days
after irradiation, at which time the dose-response curves were linear, with a slope of 8% ± 0.5% per 0.1 Gy. In controlled,
dose-response experiments the lowest dose level at which the radiation-induced apoptosis frequency was still significantly
above control was 0.05 Gy. After 5 days post-irradiation incubation, intra- and interdonor variations were measured and found
to be similar; thus, apoptotic levels depend more on the dose than on the donor. The results demonstrate the potential of
this assay as a biological dosimeter.

In experiments on 128 dogs (males and females) weighing 7-24 kg it was demonstrated that inhalation of gas hypoxic mixture containing O2 (10%) and N2 (90%) decreased significantly the level of PO2 in radiosensitive tissues and exerted a radioprotective effect on the exposed animals (60Co, doses of 2.8, 3.5-3.8 and 4.2 Gy, DMF = 1.3). At a dose of 8 Gy the average life of animals increased from 6.2 +/- 0.8 days (control) up to 9.3 +/- 1.1 days after the application of GHM -10. 相似文献
