Cells surviving after liquid-holding recovery following gamma- and alpha-irradiations are found to be slightly more sensitive to a second series of radiation doses. Further, the shoulder on the gamma survival curve of the pre-irradiated and liquid-held cells disappears. The shoulder and sensitivity are restored only when these cells are grown in broth before the second series of doses. In addition to this, liquid-holding recovery reduces progressively if the cells after irradiation are incubated in broth for different periods of time before holding. These observations suggest that: (1) the so-called potentially lethal damage may consitute that part of the sub-lethal damage which interact with one another to form lethal damage; (2) during liquid-holding, the interaction among sub-lethal damage transforming them to the status of lethal damage is inhibited; (3) the 'recovered' cells are saturated with sub-lethal damage, the repair of which will be completed only when the cells are placed in a nutrient medium. The inhibitory process is not a passive one, but requires energy metabolism.

Oats are considered an exceptional source of high-quality protein. Protein isolation methods define their nutritional value and further applicability in food systems. The aim of this study was to recover the oat protein using a wet-fractioning method and investigate the protein functional properties and nutritional values among the processing streams.

Experimental results described earlier showed significantly larger relative biological effectiveness (RBE) values for wild-type diploid cells in comparison with radiosensitive mutants. This aspect was further studied in this paper. Diploid yeast cells were irradiated with gamma rays from (60)Co and alpha particles from (239)Pu in the stationary phase of cell growth.

Paint thinners are organic-solvent complex mixtures frequently used by car painters around the world in industries and shops. Some studies have revealed the oxidative effect induced by thinner inhalation; however, its genotoxic effect is poorly studied. The aim of this study was to assess the cytotoxicity, genomic damage and DNA repair in vitro induced by commercial paint thinner 0.

To examine the correlation between spontaneous or radiation-induced apoptosis and telomere shortening, G(0) human peripheral blood lymphocytes were irradiated with X-rays and analyzed for viability, apoptosis, and telomere length. Part of the lymphocytes was kept under liquid-holding conditions for 48 h, and then loaded onto Ficoll-Paque medium to separate apoptotic (high-density) from normal (normal-density) cells. Then all samples were examined for the same three end-points.
