Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) and honey extracts significantly reduce inflammatory cytokines and liver function enzymes in experimental rats fed on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)
Publication date: Available online 4 October 2018Source: Journal of Radiation Research and Applied SciencesAuthor(s): Mohamad T. Abdelrahman, Esther N. Maina, Hany A. ElshemyAbstractLiver is the key organ (detoxifier) that gets injured by reactive oxygen species (ROS) which deplete the body's stores of anti-oxidants. ROS is present in all chronic liver diseases leading to oxidative stress. Consumption of foods high in anti-oxidants replenishes and supplies the body with important anti-oxidants which break down ROS lowering inflammatory responses and preventing liver damage. In this work, clove and honey, which are known to...

Publication date: Available online 2 October 2018Source: Journal of Radiation Research and Applied SciencesAuthor(s): N.F. Zahran, A.F. Hamza, W.A.A. SayedAbstractTo improve the mass rearing of Peach Fruit Fly, Bactrocera zonata different concentrations of Cacao, Curcuma and Selenium were added to the larval diet. The effects of these additives on the biological characteristics were evaluated. The pupal weight, adult emergence, sex ratio, adult survival, pupal production and adult flight ability were studied to evaluate the mass rearing quantity and quality. In addition, the elements compositions of adult stage were carrie...

Prevalence and sequence of aminoglycosides modifying enzymes genes among E.coli and Klebsiella species isolated from Egyptian hospitals
Publication date: Available online 4 September 2018Source: Journal of Radiation Research and Applied SciencesAuthor(s): Mervat Aly Mohamed Abo-State, Youssry El-Sayed Saleh, Hazem Mahmmoud GhareebAbstractThe WHO and CDC have expressed serious concern regarding the continued increase in the development of multidrug resistance among bacteria. Associated with the rise in antibiotic resistance is the lack of new antimicrobials. Bacteria have developed many ways by which they become resistant to antimicrobials among those are enzymes. Aminoglycosides play an important role in treatment of serious infections that threat human li...

Monte Carlo modelling of a neutron-induced gamma-ray sensor for landmine or explosive detection
Publication date: Available online 19 August 2018Source: Journal of Radiation Research and Applied SciencesAuthor(s): Nassreldeen A.A. ElsheikhAbstractMonte Carlo simulations were carried out to model a thermal neutron-induced gamma-ray sensor for anti-personnel-landmine (APM) or explosive detection. This is done by employing the thermal neutron prompt gamma activation (TNPGA) technique. The neutron capture reaction on nitrogen 14N(n,γ)15N is analyzed to detect the subsequent characteristic 10.8 MeV gamma rays. This is done by modelling a suitable geometry consisting of a point 252Cf source placed inside a sphere of lea...

Evaluation of effective dose during X-ray training in a radiological technology program in Korea
The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential risks encountered during X-ray training in radiology education. 10 exposure scenarios were selected by interviewing the radiation experts who they are professors having roles in the X-ray training. Fourteen organ doses and 13 tissues (weighted per ICRP 103 Publication) were measured with glass dosimeters (GD-352M) and a Rando phantom. Of 270 total organ doses (27 tissues with 10 projection methods) measured, 162 organ doses (60%) were <0.3 mSv; 206 organ doses (76.3%) were <1 mSv. The cumulative effective doses of 10 projection methods resulted in 5.71â€...

Indoor radon levels in some selected nursery and primary schools in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria
Publication date: Available online 1 August 2018Source: Journal of Radiation Research and Applied SciencesAuthor(s): R.I. Obed, E.A. Oyelade, H.T. LateefAbstractA radon survey was carried out in some nursery and primary schools located in Ibadan-North Local Government of Oyo State, Nigeria. Radon concentration was measured using passive diffusion cup technique fitted with CR-39 detectors. The detectors were exposed for a period of 90 days in different locations inside the school buildings: classrooms and offices. After this period, the detectors were etched with 6.25M NaOH at 90 °C for 3 h. The tracks were counted and...
