Abstract
During the last decade, a number of studies have supported the hypothesis that there is an important genetic component to the observed interpatient variability in normal tissue toxicity after radiotherapy. This review summarizes the candidate gene association studies published so far on the risk of...

Abstract
Efforts at protecting people against the harmful effects of radiation had their beginnings in the early 1900s with the intent of protecting individuals in medicine and associated professions. Such efforts remain vital for all of us more than 100 years later as part of our 'learning to live with ioni...

Abstract
In vivo exposure effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on various tissues of experiment animals have been investigated. In this sense, modeling and formulation of these biological effects have been of significant importance. In this study extremely low frequency (ELF) EMFs effects on malondialdeh...

Abstract
Advances in molecular and cellular biology are transforming our understanding of breast cancer and promise the same for radiotherapy over the next few years. At the clinical level, the molecular basis of fractionation dependency and other tumour and normal tissue responses are likely to become clear...

Abstract
Radiation-genetic effects are characterized by large quantitative difference. After the low dose radiation appearance of mutation is the largest in Drosophila, substantially lower in mice, especially if irradiation was protracted, and practically absent in humans. As the possible grounds of this dif...

Abstract
We have tried to address these questions using the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT) mutation assay in V79 Chinese hamster cells irradiated with ultraviolet A or B radiation. Delayed HPRT(-) mutations, which are indications of genomic instability, were detected by incubating the cells i...

Abstract
We are still far from having an exhaustive understanding of the genetics that may underlie differences in clinical normal tissue radiosensitivity. Recent technical advances and emerging insights to the structure of inter-individual genetic variation open up unprecedented opportunities to dissect the...

Abstract
Our results provide a global and integrated view of the alteration of gene expression associated with radiation enteritis. They suggest that radiation enteritis is a dynamic process involving constant remodeling of each structural component of the intestinal tissue, i.e. the mucosa, the mesenchyme,...

Abstract
The doubling dose (DD) is a very valuable concept in attempts to assess the genetic risks of radiation in man. It was long thought that the value of the doubling dose obtained from specific locus experiments in mice could be applied to man. James Neel, as a result of his studies on the offspring of...

Abstract
We devised an electrophoretic-specific locus test so that biochemical mutations leading to alterations in the activity or amount of four enzymes and proteins, as well as charge changes could be detected. We measured the yield of recessive visible and electrophoretic mutations in the same experiment...

Abstract
A concept of polygenomic realization of mutagenic effects in the human body exposed to low-dose radiation on the basis of cell reproductions of genomic damages (Nig = 2n/2) was suggested. The above-said is in agreement with the principles of non-threshold mutagenic action of radiation and biological...

Around 30 years ago, a very prominent molecular biologist confidently proclaimed that nothing of fundamental importance has ever been learned by irradiating cells! The poor man obviously did not know about discoveries such as DNA repair, mutagenesis, connections between mutagenesis and carcinogenesi...

Abstract
Cancer patients exhibit large patient-to-patient variability in normal tissue reactions after radiotherapy. Several observations support the hypothesis that clinical normal tissue radiosensitivity is influenced by genetic factors. However, very little is known about the genetic variation possibly un...

The frequency of lymphocytes with mutations at genes of T-cell receptor (TCR) is determined in 165 persons exposed to ionizing radiation 16-40 years after the influence. Depending on a type of irradiation and time, elapsed from the moment of exposure, all inspected persons were divided into 3 groups...

Abstract
It was demonstrated that preliminary irradiation of wheat seeds with doses of 0.10 and 0.25 Gy reduced the sensitivity to the clastogenic action of the challenge doses of gamma-irradiation at 10 and 20 Gy, but not to a doses at 50 and 100 Gy. The adaptive response (AR) was observed. It was found tha...
