Endoreduplication (ER) could be induced very effectively in Chinese hamster V79 cells exposed to cytosine arabinoside (1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine; Ara-C). Cells were cultured for 48 hours in Ara-C containing medium. ER frequency increases rapidly after Ara-C release. About 60% of metaphase cells were endoreduplicated at 8-10 hours after release from Ara-C (5 micrograms/ml). Induction of ER also depends on Ara-C concentrations.

The widespread application of pyraclostrobin (PYR), an important strobilurin fungicide with low utilization efficiency, urgently requires optimization for sustainable agriculture. In this study, nanoformulated PYR with nano-iron bismuthide (FeBi) was successfully prepared via flash nanoprecipitation, yielding spherical PYR/FeBi nanoparticles (NPs, Φ120 nm) with stable drug loading capacity (67.9%) and controlled release.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores how combining theoretical models with Monte Carlo simulations can improve predictions of cell survival following radiation-induced DNA damage.
  • Methods were optimized for proton irradiation on the Chinese hamster V79 cell line, and discrepancies from existing survival data were analyzed using two different simulation approaches.
  • The findings highlight the importance of accurate modeling, revealing a new method that reduces prediction error significantly, while also refining a user-friendly interface for easier comparison of predictive models in future research.

Overexposure to blue light due to the excessive use of electronic devices has been implicated in premature skin aging and eye damage, among other injuries to health. This study aimed to synthesize two azo derivatives of the 2-(amino-2'-hydroxyphenyl) benzoxazole and explore their potential as UV and blue light filters, proposing a new spectral profile. The synthesis of the heterocyclic compounds involved condensation reactions and diazotation.

Purpose: To establish an ultra-high dose-rate (UHDR) radiation system using a synchrotron proton beam accelerator and to compare the effects by irradiation positions on cultured cells and chick embryos.

Methods And Materials: Protons for UHDR were obtained by applying high-frequency power at much higher levels than usual to extract all protons within approximately 50 ms. Subsequently, monitoring with a Faraday cup was performed immediately after synchrotron extraction and the waveform was adjusted accordingly.
