Abstract
The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus), is one of the notorious pests causing substantial loses to many cruciferous vegetables across the nations. The effects of 60Co-γ radiation on physiology of P. xylostella were investigated and the results displayed that 200 Gy irradiation significantly alters the antioxidant enzyme regulation in six-day-old male pupae of P. xylostella. First, in our research, we detected Oxidase system and stress response mechanism of irradiated pupae, the results displayed that 200 Gy irradiation significantly alters the antioxidant enzyme regulation in six-day-old male pupae of P. xylostella. The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were increased significantly in contrast the level of peroxidase (POD) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) were decreased in 12–24 h post-treatment. The heat shock proteins (Hsps) gene expression level was significant increasing, maximum > 2-folds upregulation of genes were observed in peak. However, they also had a trend of gradual recovery with development. Second, we detected the testis lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and acid phosphatase (ACP) activity found that in male adults testis they increased significantly than control during its development. Thus the present research investigation highlights that the 60Co-γ radiation treatments alters the physiological development of diamondback moth. The results showed that 200 Gy dosage resulted in stress damage to the body and reproductive system of the diamondback moth.

Abstract
Chemometric analysis of bioactive compounds revealed that American ginsengs (AGs) from different cultivation regions of China had a difference in quality, which indicates their possible pharmacological difference. A UPLC-Q/TOF-MS-based untargeted metabolomic approach was used to uncover serum metabolite changes in radiated mice pre-administered with AG root decoctions from seven cultivation regions and to further assess their quality difference. OPLS-DA revealed that 51 metabolites (ESI−) and 110 (ESI⁺) were differentially expressed in sera between the control and the radiated model mice. Heatmap analysis further revealed that AG could not reverse most of these radiation-altered metabolites, which indicates dietary supplement of AG before cobalt radiation had the weak potential to mediate serum metabolites that were altered by the sub-lethal high dose radiation. In addition, 83 (ESI−) and 244 (ESI⁺) AG altered metabolites were detected in radiated mice under radiation exposure. Both OPLS-DA on serum metabolomes and heatmap analysis on discriminant metabolites showed that AGs from different cultivation regions differentially influenced metabolic alterations in radiated mice, which indicates AGs from different cultivation regions showed the pharmacological difference in modulation of metabolite changes. AGs from Shandong, Shanxi, and Beijing provinces had more similar pharmacological effects than AGs from USA, Canada, Jilin, and Heilongjiang. Finally, 28 important potential biomarkers were annotated and assigned onto three metabolic pathways including lipid, amino acid, and energy metabolisms.

Abstract
Radiotherapy causes molecular changes observed at the level of body fluids, which are potential biomarker candidates for assessment of radiation exposure. Here we analyzed radiotherapy-induced changes in a profile of small metabolites detected in sera of head and neck cancer patients using the gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry approach. There were about 20 compounds, including carboxylic acids, sugars, amines and amino acids, whose levels significantly differed between pre-treatment and post-treatment samples. Among metabolites upregulated by radiotherapy there was 3-hydroxybutyric acid, whose level increased about three times in post-treatment samples. Moreover, compounds affected by irradiation were associated with several metabolic pathways, including protein biosynthesis and amino acid metabolism.

Abstract
The blood serum rheological properties open the door to find suitable radio-protectors and convenient therapy for many cases of radiation exposure. The present study aimed to investigate the rheological properties of rat blood serum at wide range of shear rates after whole body irradiation with different gamma radiation doses in vivo. Healthy male rats were divided into five groups; one control group and 4 irradiated groups. The irradiation process was carried out using Co60 source with dose rate of 0.883cG/sec. Several rheological parameters were measured using Brookfield LVDV-III Programmable rheometer. A significant increase in viscosity and shear stress was observed with 25 and 50Gy corresponding to each shear rate compared with the control; while a significant decrease observed with 75 and 100Gy. The viscosity exhibited a Non-Newtonian behaviour with the shear rate while shear stress values were linearly related with shear rate. The decrease in blood viscosity might be attributed to changes in molecular weight, pH sensitivity and protein structure. The changes in rheological properties of irradiated rats' blood serum might be attributed to destruction changes in the haematological and dimensional properties of rats' blood products.

Abstract
Using quantitative real-time PCR, the copy number of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA fragments in mouse blood serum was estimated at different time points following X-ray irradiation at various doses (from 0.5 to 10 Gy). The changes in the correlation between mtDNA and nuclear DNA (mtDNA/nucDNA) in blood serum reflect the degree of radiation injury depending on the dose of irradiation. Exposure to radiation at 10 Gy and massive cell death caused by this lethal dose result in a sharp decrease by an order of magnitude of the mtDNA/nucDNA ratio in the mouse serum; the value of this parameter did not recover within the next 3 days. The opposite effect was revealed when mice were exposed to irradiation at the dose of I Gy, which is not followed by massive cell death, but leads to a higher level of the mtDNA damage as compared with the nuclear DNA protected by histones. Defective mtDNA molecules enter the bloodstream, which results in an increase of the mtDNA/nucDNA ratio in serum. Under irradiation of mice at the intermediate dose of 3 Gy the two processes described above are exhibited at once. During the first hours after irradiation an apoptotic death of radiosensitive cells and release of a large number of nuclear DNA fragments in the serum are initiated, which reduces the mtDNA/nucDNA ratio. However, at later times after irradiation, starting from 5 days, an increase of the mtDNA/nucDNA ratio is observed in the serum, presumably as a result of reparation and elimination of defective mtDNA. Thus, the mtDNA/nucDNA ratio in the serum of irradiated mice reflects the degree of the radiation damage to cells and may be considered as a biological marker of radiation injury in the future.

Abstract
The purpose of this work was the analysis of the effects of bystander factors from blood sera of people affected by the Chernobyl accident on human keratinocyte cell culture (HPV-G cells). A new method was developed for evaluation of the bystander factor presence in vivo in blood of the people irradiated by the Chernobyl accident. Affected population groups included liquidators of the Chernobyl accident and people living and working in areas of the Gomel region contaminated by radionuclides. The analysis has shown that bystander factors persist in Chernobyl liquidator blood samples for more than 20 years since irradiation. The data suggest that blood sera contain bystander factors, which are able to induce micronuclei and decrease the metabolic activity of HPV-G cells.

Abstract
This study evaluated possible adverse effects of injection of blood serum from rats exposed to microwaves at a power density of 500 microW/cm2 on pregnancy and foetal and offspring development in intact female rats. The study was performed with 59 pregnant Wistar rats. In utero mortality, embryo and foetal body weights and placenta weight were used for the evaluation of embryo and foetal development. Generally accepted integral and specific parameters were used for the evaluation of postnatal development of offspring during the first 30 days of life. It was shown that intra peritoneal injection of blood serum from IMF exposed rats (chronic 30-day RF exposure at 500 microW/cm2) to intact rats on the 10th day of pregnancy resulted in adverse effects on foetal and offspring development. Total mortality (in utero + postnatal) as well as delay in offspring development was higher in this group.

Abstract
Simultaneous low-intensity visible (VIS) and near infrared (nIR) irradiation from laser and non-laser sources was used for treatment of complications developing in cancer patients after surgical tumor resection, chemo- and radiation therapy. However, the question remains about the impact of this physiotherapeutic method on proliferative activity of the patients' tumor cells and cells involved in wound healing, fibroblasts (FB) and keratinocytes (KC). In this paper, we studied the effect blood serum obtained from the patients with breast cancer after the course of irradiation with visible and NI light (480--3400 nm, 95 % polarization, 40 mW/cm2, 12 J/cm2) in postoperative period on the proliferative activity of primary cultures of human FB and KC, and of several human tumor cell lines (BT-474, HBL-100, Hs578T and A431). Seven-day course of phototherapy increase proliferation of FB (as compared to the initial level) and KC (as compared to postoperative level) by 22 and 28 %, respectively. The tumor cells BT-474, Hs578T and A431 showed statistically significant decrease in proliferative activity compared with the preoperative (initial) level by 31.5, 8.97 and 6.47%, respectively, whereas the cells BT-474, HBL-100, Hs578T and A431 also reduced their proliferative activity by 32,16, 8.65 and 6.26%, respectively, as compared with postperative level. The results obtained demonstrate the safety of the phototherapy with the visible and NI light for BC patients in the postoperative period.

Abstract
One of the path for research of antioxidant status in vivo is the determination of blood plasma (serum) antioxidant activity (AOA). AOA is an integral parameter for the contribution of different antiradical defense components which particular nomenclature is determined by a used method of definition. In the present work AOA is studied with usage of a system of suppression in vitro by blood plasma (serum) of a Fe(2+)-induced oxidation of a substrate from egg yolk lipoproteins. The contribution of separate components of a blood plasma to an integral index of AOA for human blood serum is studied. Urine acid, albumin, reduced glutathione, ascorbat, heparin, peroxidase and catalase had no activity. Apo-beta-lipoprotein, vitamin E, ceruloplasmin and transferring are introduce, possibly, the main contribution to AOA. The significant decrease of AOA was revealed after acute irradiation by gamma-rays of dogs (4.05 Gy) and mice (6 Gy). The irradiation of mice at low-dose (0.2 Gy), vice-versa, result to stimulation of AOA with clear peak value on 5 day. The possible reasons of quality difference for effects of large and low dose radiation with reference to antioxidant system of organism are discussed.

Abstract
The present study was carried out to investigate the potential effects of ELF (extremely low frequency) electric field exposure on generating free radicals in guinea pigs. For this purpose, we determined thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels, one of the byproducts of lipid peroxidation, the changes of the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), as an antioxidant enzyme, and gamma-Glutamyl transferase (GGT) as the key enzyme in GSH metabolism. Moreover, in order to investigate electric field effects on functions of organs, we measured the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, total cholesterol (TC), LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), urea, uric acid, creatin, glucose, and blood-urea nitrogen (BUN) in serum of guinea pigs exposed to different intensities and directions electric fields. In this study we have found that vertical and horizontal application of ELF electric fields in the range of 1.35, 1.5, and 1.8 kV/m increased TBARS and SOD levels as compared to the controls (p < 0.05) and to applied electric fields of 0.3, 0.6, 0.8, and 1 kV/m. On the other hand, other serum levels of some biochemical parameters that were also investigated did not undergo statistically significant changes (p > 0.05).

Abstract
In the present paper the fluorescence spectra of the blood serum excited with different wavelength were measured with the fluorescence photometer RF5301 (SHIMADZU) made in Japan. The relationship between the fluorescence spectra of the serum and the wavelength of the excitation light was studied during the experiment. The experimental results show that the linetype and peak wavelength of the fluorescence spectra of serum excited by ultraviolet radiation with different wavelength are almost the same, and they do not depend on the excitation wavelength. But the fluorescence peak value changes with the excitation wavelength. There are two high intensity emission intervals in the fluorescence spectra. One of these is from about 300 nm to 410 nm, and the other is below 310 nmr The fluorescence spectra are mostly centralized in the first interval, and the wavelengths of fluorescence peaks were found around two locations: one is near 330 nm and the other is near 370 nm. At this time the strife phenomena occur. When the excitation wavelength is about 250 nm or higher, the fluorescence peak only occurs at 330 nm, and the optimal excitation wavelength is 300 nm. While the wavelength is greater than 320 nm, the fluorescence intensity of the first interval begins to fall, while that of the other augments. And at this time the peak of wavelength of fluorescence is 452 nm. This study provides the experimental foundations for advanced study and applications of the characteristics of fluorescence spectrum of blood serum, and also offers the references to the wavelength selection of excitation light in the application of the photo-induced fluorescence spectra diagnostic technology.

Abstract
This study was purposed to investigate the mechanism of low dose radiation (LDR) by proteomic technology and to find the key proteins of the hormesis and adaptive response induced LDR, which provided the foundation of experimental and theoretical basis for the clinical application of LDR. Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) was used to screen protein patterns of normal serum and serum of mice exposed to LDR in different time for qualitative and quantitative differences in protein expression. And the differentially-expressed proteins between the two groups were identified by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The result showed that among the differentially-expressed proteins between the group exposed to LDR and the control group (shom-irradiated group), it was found that after LDR new 4 proteins appeared, 13 proteins were up-regulated, 6 proteins were down-regulated, 3 proteins disappeared in the group exposed to LDR. In different time the quantity of some proteins was different, the protein expression had some characteristics, the estrogen receptor 2 was down-regulated, the vitamin D-binding protein and apolipoprotien were up-regulated in the group exposed to LDR. It is concluded that LDR up-regulate or down-regulate some proteins, some proteins related with LDR were found. It may provide some new explanations for the effect mechanism of the LDR.

Abstract
The chemiluminescence of luminol, after 1 and 2h in vitro exposure of human serum to 50 Hz electric fields of different intensities, decreases as compared to the controls. This indicates a field-induced decrease in the concentration of the free radicals. The report is limited to the key kinetic and field data, inviting independent kinetic analysis of the data in terms of reaction moments or reaction susceptibilities for the various normal modes indicated by the data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The inhibition spectrum (IS) in solar urticaria was identified mainly in Japanese patients with solar urticaria, although the mechanism of action of the IS has not been elucidated. METHODS Because an intradermal injection of action spectrum (AS)-irradiated serum in a case of solar urticaria induced a wheal response, we studied the responsiveness of the intradermal injection after an IS irradiation. RESULTS An AS in this patient was composed of visible light shorter than 500 nm, while an IS was composed of visible light longer than 530 nm. When the IS was exposed immediately after the AS irradiation, the wheal response was inhibited. However, when the IS was exposed before the AS irradiation, the wheal response was not inhibited. An intradermal injection of her serum produced no reaction, whereas an intradermal injection of her serum pre-irradiated with visible light induced a wheal flare response. Further examination revealed that the in vivo wheal-inducing activity of her serum irradiated with visible light could be attenuated by post-IS irradiation at the injection site, while the wheal-inducing activity of her visible light-irradiated serum was not inhibited by irradiation of the activated serum with the IS. The wheal-flare response induced by compound 48/80 and histamine was not altered by IS irradiation at the site of skin tests. CONCLUSION These findings indicate that photoallergens in the patient's serum that are activated by visible light irradiation are responsible for the development of her symptoms and that the IS may suppress the wheal response by inhibiting the binding of the photoallergens to mast cells, not by inactivating the photoallergens and stabilizing mast cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Workers of x-ray departments are occupationally exposed to long-term low levels of ionizing radiation. The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of occupational exposure of low-level x-ray radiation on immunoglobulin and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations in radiology workers. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the study group of 41 x-ray department workers and the control group composed of 32 persons, immunoglobulins (IgM, IgG, IgA) and CRP concentrations were analyzed. The study group was subdivided by gender and smoking habit. RESULTS A significant decrease in IgG level was found in the workers and the female subgroup. The same observation was made when smokers and nonsmokers of both groups were compared. Smoking workers showed lower concentrations of IgA than non-smokers. The remaining results of immunoglobulin and CRP concentrations did not show significant differences. CONCLUSIONS Occupational exposure to low levels of ionizing radiation is associated with suppressive influence on the immunoglobulin production, especially IgG. In addition, smoking decreases the production of IgA in radiology workers.

Abstract
Generally, heat inactivated foetal calf serum (FCS) containing media are used for the cultivation of animal and human cells. The role of serum source and serum treatment on the behaviour of cells has long been neglected. The present study was performed to investigate the effects of serum heat inactivation and serum source on trabecular bone derived progenitor cells (HBC). Furthermore, it was investigated in how far these reactions differed from those seen in bone marrow derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (HBMC) cultures. We found that HBC cultures performed differently in the presence of FCS and HS with or without heat inactivation. The reactions similar to some degree those observed in HBMC cultures. The implications of the results on cell-implant surface interaction studies are discussed.

Abstract
Female CBA mice were chronically exposed to gamma-rays with a dose rate from 1 to 16 cGy/day during the lifetime. It was found that the level of antioxidant activity of blood serum decreased, whereas the level of primary and secondary products of lipid peroxidation increased. Possible ways of formation of compensatory-adaptive reactions are discussed.
