Structural properties and electron spin resonance (ESR) dose estimations of fossil cow tooth enamel from K öşk Höyük, Turkey
Radiat Environ Biophys. 2023 Jul 6. doi: 10.1007/s00411-023-01036-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn this work, two cow teeth collected from the Niğde-Köşk Höyük excavation site in Turkey were studied for characterization and dosimetric purposes. Each tooth sample was prepared by applying mechanical and chemical methods to obtain the enamel fractions. To do this, mineralogical and elemental concentration properties of the tooth enamels were investigated by performing X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray measurements (SEM-EDX). It was found that the enamel struc...

The protective effects of ginseng on x-irradiation-induced intestinal damage in rats
Radiat Environ Biophys. 2023 Jul 6. doi: 10.1007/s00411-023-01039-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough radiotherapy is widely employed in the treatment of various malignancies in oncology patients, its use is limited by the toxic effects it causes in surrounding tissues, including the gastrointestinal system. Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) is a traditional drug reported to possess antioxidant and restorative properties in various studies. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the protective effects of KRG against radiation-associated small intestinal damage. Twenty-four male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly a...

Vibrational spectroscopies for biochemical investigation of X-ray exposure effects on SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells
Radiat Environ Biophys. 2023 Jul 1. doi: 10.1007/s00411-023-01035-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeuroblastoma is the most recurring cancer in childhood and adolescence. The SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line is generally adopted for elaborating new therapeutical approaches and/or elaborating strategies for the prevention of central nervous system disturbances. In fact, it represents a valid model system for investigating in vitro the effects on the brain of X-ray exposure using vibrational spectroscopies that can detect early radiation-induced molecular alterations of potential clinical usefulness. In recent years, we dedi...
