Induction of Chromosomal Aberrations after Exposure to the Auger Electron Emitter Iodine-125, the β--emitter Tritium and Cesium-137 γ rays
In this study, we investigated whether DNA lesions induced at different cell cycle stages and by different radiation types [Auger-electrons (125I), β- particles (3H), or γ radiation (137Cs)] have an impact on the number of CA induced after induction of the same number of DSB as determined by the γ-H2AX foci assay. Cells were synchronized and pulse-labeled in S phase with low activities of 125I-UdR or tritiated thymidine. For decay accumulation, cells were cryopreserved either after pulse-labeling in S phase or after progression to G2/M or G1 phase. Experiments with γ irradiation (137Cs) were performed with synchronized...

Dose Rate Effects on Hydrated Electrons, Hydrogen Peroxide, and a OH Radical Molecular Probe Under Clinical Energy Protons
We report the dose rate dependence of radiation chemical yields (G value) of water radiolysis products under clinical energy protons (230 MeV) to understand mechanisms of the FLASH radiotherapy performed at ultra-high dose rate (>40 Gy/s). The G value of 7-hydoroxy-coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (7OH-C3CA) produced by reactions of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (C3CA) with OH radicals and oxygen is evaluated by fluorescence method. Also, those of hydrated electrons and hydrogen peroxide are derived by absorption method using Saltzman and Ghomley techniques, respectively. Both G values of 7OH-C3CA and hydrated electrons decrease...
