Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In studies on lymphoid cell chimerism and homograft tolerance in long-lived homologous radiation chimeras, data were collected on life span, and on leukemia and other lesions. The chimeras were hybrid mice (10 - 12 weeks old) exposed to 880 rad of X radiation and injected with bone marrow cells from C3H donors. Out of 119 mice, 65% were dead by age 32 weeks, with symptoms of second ry disease evident in the great majority. Relatively few deaths occurred between 32 and 75 weeks, and the maximum life span was 105 weeks. Histopathological data were obtained from many of these long-lived chimeras. There was an 80% incidence of glomerulosclerosis of moderate to severe degree, and a 20% incidence of arteriolarsclerosis in t e kidney and spleen. Leukemias were observed in 5 out of 54 homologous chimeras. Also, two leukemias occurred in 13 chimeras (15%) which had been injected with lymphoid cells obtained from other long-lived homologous chimeras. The possibility of a causal relationship between s condary disease and the increased incidence of leukemia is briefly discussed. (Author).

Book excerpt: The present experiments are concerned with the attempt to prevent or ameliorate the occurrence of secondary disease deaths in irradiated mice bearing foreign bone marrow grafts; in addition, certain aspects of graft-to-host tolerance in early radiation chimeras have been investigated. It is concluded that specific graft-to-host tolerance may develop relatively early in radiation chimeras, that it is possible to prevent or eliminate secondary disease in homologous radiation chimeras by suitable preirradiation of the marrow donors, and by injection into the chimeras of specific isoantiserum directed against the marrow donor.

Download or read book Hereditary Effects of Radiation written by United Nations. Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation and published by The Committee. This book was released on 2001 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2001 report completed a comprehensive review of the risks to offspring following parental exposure to radiation. The review included an evaluation of those diseases which have both hereditary and environmental components. The major finding is that the total hereditary risk to the first generation following radiation is less than one tenth of the risk of fatal carcinogenesis following irrradiation. The Committee concluded that a sounder basis now exists for estimating the hereditary risks of radiation exposure. This is due to advances in molecular genetics, and in the evaluation of multifactorial diseases, such as coronary heart disease.

This book was released on 2006-03-23 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the seventh in a series of titles from the National Research Council that addresses the effects of exposure to low dose LET (Linear Energy Transfer) ionizing radiation and human health. Updating information previously presented in the 1990 publication, Health Effects of Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation: BEIR V, this book draws upon new data in both epidemiologic and experimental research. Ionizing radiation arises from both natural and man-made sources and at very high doses can produce damaging effects in human tissue that can be evident within days after exposure. However, it is the low-dose exposures that are the focus of this book. So-called “late” effects, such as cancer, are produced many years after the initial exposure. This book is among the first of its kind to include detailed risk estimates for cancer incidence in addition to cancer mortality. BEIR VII offers a full review of the available biological, biophysical, and epidemiological literature since the last BEIR report on the subject and develops the most up-to-date and comprehensive risk estimates for cancer and other health effects from exposure to low-level ionizing radiation.

This book was released on 2010-03-02 with total page 885 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the original publication of Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation: Clinical Research and Practice, Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSC) has undergone several fast-paced changes. In this second edition, the editors have focused on topics relevant to evolving knowledge in the field in order to better guide clinicians in decision-making and management of their patients, as well as help lead laboratory investigators in new directions emanating from clinical observations. Some of the most respected clinicians and scientists in this discipline have responded to the recent advances in the field by providing state-of-the-art discussions addressing these topics in the second edition. The text covers the scope of human genomic variation, the methods of HLA typing and interpretation of high-resolution HLA results. Comprehensive and up-to-date, Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation: Clinical Research and Practice, Second Edition offers concise advice on today's best clinical practice and will be of significant benefit to all clinicians and researchers in allogeneic HSC transplantation.
