Abstract:

Water intended for drinking purposes has to be analyzed first for gross alpha/beta activity according to national and international standards and recommendations. According to Albanian legislation, Article 6, the gross alpha/beta radioactivity concentration in water, should be below the level of 0.1 Bq/L and 1 Bq/L respectively for human consumption. Our laboratory participated in an interlaboratory comparison organized by IAEA Terrestrial Environmental Laboratory under suggestion of ALMERA members.

Abstract Surface collection efficiency (SCE) of a cellulose membrane filter (CMF) and a cellulose-glass fiber filter used in environmental monitoring for alpha-emitting radionuclides from nuclear facilities and natural radioactivity sources was evaluated for particles in the size range of 0.03–0.1 μm at different levels of face velocity. The SCE of the CMF was higher than that of the cellulose-glass fiber filter, and only the membrane filter showed the dependence of SCE on the particle size at higher face velocity. The use of the CMF at higher face velocity in environmental radioactivity monit

Among the most significant matrices in the field of environmental radioactivity, water is certainly included, being subject to monitoring and controls to safeguard the environment from possible anthropogenic contamination. The presence of radionuclides in water also constitutes a health risk to human, because its consumption increases the likelihood of incurring cancer.

We present here the main results of an experimental activity aimed at the realization of a prototype of monitor for alpha and beta radioactivity in water exploiting a novel type of contamination-safe scintillation detector developed by our research group. Due to the short path-length of alpha and beta particles in water and the low detection limits needed to be compliant with the international legislations in matter of radiation safety for water, the detectors to be used for such a kind of instruments should have in general large area, very low intrinsic background and avoid any kind of window

Abstract:

Bovine liver NADP(+)-dependent dihydrodiol dehydrogenase (DD3) is extremely sensitive to SH reagents such as N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) and 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid). NEM produced time- and concentration-dependent inactivation of DD3 in a pseudo-first-order reaction manner. This inactivation was prevented by NADP+, 3-acetylpyridine-adenine dinucleotide phosphate, 2′,5′-ADP and 2′-AMP but not by substrates, NAD+, nicotinamide mononucleotide or 5′-ADP.DD3 was absorbed by an affinity column of thiopropyl-Sepharose 6B, but enzyme incubated with both NEM and NADP+ was not. Moreover, one [14C]

Abstract:

The alpha-radioactive inert gas Radon exhalation is associated with presence of Radium and its ultimate precursor uranium in the earth crust. Uranium decay deposits radon in soil, which is harmful on human and environment. The exposure of population to high concentration of alpha radioactivity mainly of Radon for a long period leads to lung cancer. The radon activity concentrations, radium contents, radon exhalation rates in twenty one soil samples collected from Bartella region, were measured using the sealed-can technique based on the CR-39 SSNTDs.

Iron was internalized in a contact-dependent manner, with 94% of cell-associated radioactivity from either 55Fe-loaded transferrin or lactoferrin associated with the soluble cell fraction. Partitioning the iron source away from bacteria significantly decreased cellular growth. Excess cold transferrin or lactoferrin in cultures containing 55Fe-loaded transferri

Specific binding sites for human pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI) on 3T3 Swiss albino cells were studied using radioiodinated recombinant PSTI. Some ion species, pH, and temperature significantly influenced the binding of 125I-PSTI. Kinetic studies showed that the binding of 125I-PSTI to 3T3 Swiss albino cells reached the maximum level within 120 min at 4 degrees C, with a slow dissociation rate. The half-maximal inhibition (ID50) of 125I-PSTI binding by unlabeled PSTI occurred at 1.0 x 10(-10) M. On Scatchard analysis of the competitive binding data, linear plots indicated a sing

In pathological conditions TEM-1 has been shown to be overexpressed in cancer and fibrosis. In sarcomas, expression occurs throughout the tumor environment in malignant cells, stromal cells and perivascular cells. The first line of treatment for sarcomas is surgical removal; however, many sarcomas arise in inoperable sites prompting a

[Background] We previously found that acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells aberrantly express CD82, a member of the tetraspanin family, on their surface. Functional analyses of CD82 by either depletion or forced expression of CD82 revealed that CD82 plays a role in the adhesion of AML cells to the bone marrow microenvironment in association with the inhibition of matrix metallopeptidase 9 (IJC 2013). In addition, CD82 transactivates several signaling pathways and upregulates anti-apoptotic Bcl-2L12 molecules in AML cells (Ikezoe T, et al. Int J Cancer. 2014;134:55, PLoS One. 2015;10: e0125017, L
