A clearly pronounced modification of acute radiation injury of mice has been obtained by prolonged action (for up to 23 hours) of low-intensity (5 +/- 1.5 mu Wt/cm2) radiofrequency radiation in the ranges of 2-8, 8-18 and 19-27 GHz with a swing frequency of 12-14 Hz, applied immediately after exposure to lethal dose of gamma-radiation. Survival of mice and average life duration of killed mice were increased.

Voxel-based lesion symptom mapping localizes residual visual function in hemianopia.

Damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) results in visual field deficits on the contralateral side of the world corresponding to the damaged region. Patients with such loss nonetheless show varying residual vision within this apparently blind region, with the neural mechanisms underlying this ability obscured by small study populations. We identified lesions on structural scans from 39 patients (12 female) with hemianopia and occipital lobe damage.

Bone marrow hematopoietic injury encompasses a range of pathological conditions that disrupt the normal function of the hematopoietic system, primarily through the impaired production and differentiation of bone marrow hematopoietic cells. Key pathogenic mechanisms include aging, radiation damage, chemical induction, infection and inflammation, and cross-talk with non-hematopoietic diseases. These pathological factors often lead to myelosuppression and myeloid skewing.

The C3/C3aR pathway exacerbates acetaminophen-induced mouse liver injury via upregulating podoplanin on the macrophage.

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the liver sustains severe damage and rapidly loses its function. The primary cause of ALF is the overdose of acetaminophen (APAP), and its treatment is relatively limited. The involvement of the complement system in the development of ALF has been implicated.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains the predominant cause of mortality and disability among the pediatric population. At present, there are no radiation-free, simple, and cost-effective tools available to assess the severity and prognosis of pediatric TBI. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), neutrophilto-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) serve as inflammatory biomarkers that may assist in predicting the outcome of pediatric TBI.

Objective: Survivors of pediatric head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma (HNRMS) are at risk of developing endocrinopathies following local treatment, resulting from radiation damage to the pituitary gland, hypothalamus, or thyroid gland, often at a young age. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of endocrine dysfunction in long-term HNRMS survivors and compare the prevalence of anterior pituitary insufficiency (API) among different local treatment strategies: external beam radiation with photons, external beam radiation with protons, microscopically radical surgery combined with external irradiation, and macroscopic radical surgery combined with brachytherapy.

Design And Methods: Head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma survivors treated between 1993 and 2017, with ≥2 years of follow-up, without recurrent disease or secondary malignancy were eligible for this study.
