Times Cited Count:8 Percentile:41.9(Biology)Here, we found that exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) induce certain innate immune response gene of in the intestine. Pre-treatment with IR before seeding on lawn plate, significantly increased survival rate in the nematode. IR induction of gene was highly dependent on the ELT-2 transcription factor and p38 MAPK. Moreover, the insulin/IGF-1 signal pathway works as an enhancer of induction of this gene. Silencing of the gene led to growth retardation after IR irradiation. Finally, we describe the cross-tolerance between the responses to radiation exposure and innate immune system.

Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:24.08(Chemistry, Physical)Much of this past research has focused on finding more effective reactions between charged reactive species in room temperature ionic liquid (RTILs), which have a coulombic field. Reactions in RTILs involving the charged reactive species, particularly solvated electrons, have been studied by the techniques of radiation chemistry. The reaction behavior of halophenols in RTILs were investigated by ray and pulsed electron radiolysis. The yield of CP decomposition in the RTILs was almost the same as that of solvated electrons formation. The yield of CP decomposition and phenol formation in the RTILs was low in the presence of electron scavengers such as nitrous oxide, indicating that solvated electrons primarily contributed to the decomposition of CP. The type of halogen group with the exception of fluorine had a negligible effect on the decomposition of halophenols in the RTILs. Therefore, RTILs could be applied as an reaction media for the reduction by ionizing radiation.

Times Cited Count:35 Percentile:63.91(Biology)The study of radiation effect in have been carried out over three decades and now allow for understanding at the molecular, cellular and individual levels. This review describes the current knowledge of the biological effects of ionizing irradiation with a scope of the germ line, aging and behavior. may be a good model system in the field of radiation biology.

We investigated the gene expression of following carbon and irradiation using DNA microarray analysis. We observed the 187 and 297 upregulated genes after and carbon irradiation with 100 Gy, respectively, in which 51 genes were upregulated following both irradiations. On the other hand, the 358 and 388 genes were downregulated after and carbon irradiation, respectively.
