Generation and validation of a shielding library based on ENDF/B-VI.8.

For various shielding and reactor pressure vessel dosimetry applications, a pseudo-problem-independent neutron-photon coupled MATXS-format library, based on the last release of ENDF/B-VI, has been generated as a part of the update program for KASHIL-E6, which was based on ENDF/B-VI.5. It has a VITAMIN-B6 neutron and photon energy group structures, i.

Hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects of Alnus japonica extracts on acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.

The stem bark of the Betulaceae plant Alnus japonica, which is indigenous to Korea, has been used as a popular folk medicine for hepatitis and cancer. In this study, the antioxidant activity of the crude extract and the hepatoprotective activities on acetaminophen (AAP)-induced toxicity in the rat liver were evaluated. We investigated the effect of the methanol (AJM) and solvent fracton of the stem bark of Alnus japonica (AJ) on AAP-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.
