Abstract
Impairment on a hippocampal-dependent learning and memory test occurs 1 year after fractionated WBI at middle age. The same WBI regimen, however, does not lead to a loss of neurons or a reduction in the volume of hippocampus....

Abstract
The common mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis was selected as unique biomonitor species to implement a regional monitoring programme, the CIESM Mediterranean Mussel Watch (MMW), in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. As of today, and upon standardization of the methodological approach, the MMW Network h...

Abstract
Spectroscopic resolution of intracellular and extracellular compartments can be used to probe the kinetic environment of those spaces and the compartment-specific changes that occur following injury. This is important for understanding the biophysical mechanisms that underlie the remarkable diffusion...

Abstract
Histamine prevents radiation-induced toxicity by increasing proliferation of damaged intestinal mucosa and suppressing apoptosis that was associated with an increase in SOD and Catalase levels. This effect might be of clinical value in patients undergoing radiotherapy....

Abstract
The long-term (1986-2005) gamma-activity dynamics in dominating zoobenthos species and the bottom sediments in the inlet of Pripyat river and the non-flowing Perstok lake within the Chernobyl alienation zone was determined. Immediately after the accident (1986-1987) zoonehthos y-activity achieved th...

Abstract
NMR spectra of (23)Na(+) and (133)Cs(+) in gelatine in a silicone rubber tube that was stretched to various extents showed remarkably reproducible resonance multiplicity. The relative intensities of the components of the split peaks had ratios, 3:4:3, and 7:12:15:16:15:12:7, respectively, that confo...

Abstract
We discuss the studies defining the ion transport, chemical shift and relaxation characteristics of 133Cs in living systems. We also review the application of 133Cs NMR to evaluation of ion transport across membranes and the kinetic/chemical environment of the intracellular space in systems ranging...

Abstract
The Kadji-Sai abandoned field of U-bearing brown coal on the southern coast of Lake Issyk-Kul (Kyrgyzstan) poses a threat of radioactive pollution to the world's fifth deepest and second largest pristine highland lake. The valleys of ephemeral streams in the lake catchment are filled with coarse-gra...

Abstract
To document the short-term dynamics of Cs, 4 kg of (133)Cs were introduced into an 11.4-ha, 157 000 m(3) reservoir previously contaminated with (137)Cs from past reactor operations at the US Department of Energy's Savannah River Site near Aiken, South Carolina, USA. The (133)Cs addition resulted in...

Abstract
Our results demonstrate that RCCs from patients living in the radio-contaminated areas showed aberrant hypermethylation of p14(ARF) and p16(INK4A) genes, associated with increased p38MAPK, p14(ARF), mdm2, cyclinD1 and Ki67 protein expression levels. Present findings show the possibility that chronic...

Abstract
Levels of 137Cs and 7Be in aerosols have been measured in the region of Cienfuegos (Cuba) during the period 1994-1998. 137Cs showed the same seasonal trend as 7Be and the monthly regimes of precipitation seemed to be responsible for the observed pattern. The 137Cs/7Be ratio obtained in Cienfuegos an...

Abstract
The distributions of radionuclides in plant components as to radionuclide transfer to animals are important for understanding the dynamics of radionuclides in an agricultural field. Most of the non-edible parts in these components are returned to the soil as organic fertilizer where they may again b...

Abstract
NMR spectroscopy of intracellularly located (133)Cs has been used to monitor the uptake of Gd-EOB-DTPA by the isolated rat liver. As shown by (31)P spectroscopy, accumulation of (133)Cs ions in hepatocytes does not produce detectable effects on the metabolism. The hepatic internalization of Gd-EOB-D...

Abstract
Ba1 bacteria (Halomonas israelensis) were grown on different salt concentrations 0.2-4 M. When the cells were transferred to a medium containing 25 mM CsCl without potassium there was an uptake of cesium by the cells. The intracellular cesium signal was shifted from the cesium signal in the medium w...

Abstract
The question of whether the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of intracellular water changes after brain injury was addressed by using 133Cs as an indicator to report on the state of the intracellular environment. Cesium is an NMR-detectable potassium analog that accumulates in the intracellular...

Abstract
133Cs NMR chemical shifts and relaxation times have been measured for tissue samples in vitro and in vivo from rats which have been fed on a high cesium, low potassium diet, which leads to a predominantly intracellular distribution of this ion, similar to that of K+. The high sensitivity, large chem...
