Modern medicine cannot exist without diagnostic and therapeutic methods that are based on ionizing radiation. Therefore it is necessary to understand interactions between this form of energy living matter make a full use progress in radiobiology. Ionizing radiation widely used for relatively long time, how known, disproportionately huge doses particularly harmful organisms including humans. However low useless modern medicine. Broadening knowledge radiobiology can be crucial healthcare professionals.

Importance Approximately 93 million computed tomography (CT) examinations are performed on 62 patients annually in the United States, and ionizing radiation from CT is a known carcinogen. Objective To project number of future lifetime cancers US population associated with imaging 2023. Design, Setting, Participants This risk model used multicenter sample prospectively assembled between January 2018 December 2020 University California San Francisco International Dose Registry. Data analysis was conducted October 2023 to 2024. Main Outcomes Measures Distributions organ-specific doses were estimated by patient age, sex, category scaled based 2023, quantified IMV national survey. Lifetime radiation-induced cancer incidence 90% uncertainty limits (UL) using National Cancer Institute software Research Council’s Biological Effects Ionizing Radiation VII models projected examination counts. Results An 61 510 000 underwent including 2 570 (4.2%) children, 58 940 (95.8%) adults, 32 600 (53.0%) female patients, 28 910 (47.0%) male patients. 103 (90% UL, 96 400-109 500) result these examinations. Estimated risks higher children adolescents, yet utilization adults accounted for most (93 000; 86 900-99 [91%]) cancers. The common lung (22 400 cases; 20 200-25 cases), colon (8700 7800-9700 leukemia (7900 6700-9500 bladder (7100 cases, 6000-8500 cases) overall, while breast second (5700 5000-6500 cases). largest abdomen pelvis reflecting 37 500 (37%) 30 (32%), followed chest (21 [21%]; [21%]). Estimates remained large over variety sensitivity analyses, which resulted range 80 127 across analyses. Conclusions Relevance study found that at current dose levels, approximately course exposed If practices persist, CT-associated could eventually account 5% all new diagnoses annually.

In the present work, we develop a general spatial stochastic model to describe formation and repair of radiation-induced DNA damage. The is described mathematically as measure-valued particle-based system extends in several directions developed Cordoni et al. (Phys Rev E 103:012412, 2021; Int J Radiat Biol 1-16, 2022a; Res 197:218-232, 2022b). this new formulation, damage cell nucleus can undergo different pathways either or lead inactivation. main novelty work rigorously define that considers pairwise interaction lesions continuous protracted irradiation. former relevant from biological point view clustered are less likely be repaired, leading latter instead describes effects radiation field on tissue. We prove existence uniqueness solution above systems, characterizing its probabilistic properties. further couple describing set reaction-diffusion equations with random discontinuity chemical environment. At last, study large limit process. applied contexts, radiotherapy space radioprotection being most relevant. Further, biochemical derived play crucial role understanding an extremely promising novel treatment modality, named community FLASH radiotherapy, whose mechanism today largely unknown.

The currently available anti-cancer therapies, such as gamma-radiation and chemotherapeutic agents, induce cell death cellular senescence not only in cancer cells but also the adjacent normal tissue. New anti-tumor approaches focus on limiting side effects cells. In this frame, potential properties of Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMFs) through irradiation breast epithelial (MCF-7 MDA-MB-231) fibroblasts (FF95) were investigated. PEMFs had a frequency 8 Hz, full-square wave type magnetic flux density 0.011 T applied twice daily for 5 days. data collected showcase that PEMF application decreases proliferation rate viability while having opposite effect fibroblasts. Moreover, induces without any non-cancerous These findings suggest novel, non-invasive strategy that, when combined with senolytic drugs, may eliminate both remaining senescent cells, simultaneously avoiding current treatments.

The current study investigates the potential of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) nanocomposite reinforced with nano-lead (N-Pb) as a protective shield against gamma radiation emitted from Cobalt-60 (Co-60) source. influence varying N-Pb concentrations (50–300 parts per hundred rubber, pphr) on structural, morphological, and radiation-shielding characteristics was investigated. characterized using several analytical techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). results demonstrate that increasing concentration leads to enhanced crystallinity, improved homogeneity, significantly shielding capabilities material. Notably, exhibited substantial decrease in count rate (31.9% reduction 300 pphr N-Pb), mean free path (81% decrease), half-value layer (77% tenth-value (87% decrease) content increased. These findings highlight promising SBR-N-Pb nanocomposites cost-effective efficient material for various applications.

Although cancer treatment strategies have made considerable progress in recent decades, the challenge of selectively killing tumor cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissue remains. Radiotherapy (RT) continues be crucial for growth control when combined with surgery, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. RT effectiveness depends on factors such as type, features, choice external or internal treatment. Given its non-invasive nature low systemic toxicity, is a suitable strategy elderly patients. However, despite efficacy, variations cell sensitivity radiation influence outcomes, normal surrounding can also affected. Radiation-induced DNA trigger cellular senescence, permanent cycle arrest pro-inflammatory secretory phenotype, contributing radio-resistance cells. causes not only breakage but epigenetic remodeling. Epigenetic pathways are involved response, radiosensitivity modulated using compounds. Emerging treatments based more precise forms RT, boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), offer promising results by targeting tumors potentially preserving tissues. BNCT has shown efficacy glioblastoma, recurrent head neck carcinoma, melanoma. This review i) examines mechanisms challenges conventional focusing aging role tolerability, ii) describes impact senescence resistance, iii) explores advances BNCT, iv) considers potential drugs optimize outcomes.

Radiation therapy and unwanted radiological or nuclear exposure, such as plant accidents, terrorist attacks, military conflicts, pose serious health issues to humans. Dysfunction of the intestinal epithelial barrier leakage luminal antigens bacteria across have been linked various human diseases. Intestinal permeability is regulated by intercellular structures, termed tight junctions (TJs), which are disrupted after radiation exposure. In this study, we investigated radiation-induced alterations in TJ-related proteins an cell model. Caco-2 cells were irradiated with 2, 5, 10 Gy harvested 1 24 h X-ray The trypan blue assay revealed that viability was reduced a dose-dependent manner exposure compared non-irradiated cells. However, WST-8 proliferation significantly only addition, decreased growth rate increased doubling time observed X-rays. increased, transepithelial electrical resistance values remarkably monolayers X-rays irradiation mRNA protein levels ZO-1, occludin, claudin-3, claudin-4, ZO-1 claudin-3 decreasing manner. Overall, present study reveals induces dysfunction integrity via downregulation genes, may be key factor contributing damage permeability.
