Factors Affecting Esophageal Tissue Radiation Response, Latisha T. Pryor
Factors Affecting Esophageal Tissue Radiation Response, Latisha T. Pryor
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Radiation-induced esophageal cancer can be a deadly and unfortunate secondary outcome of radiotherapy or chronic occupational exposure to radiation. Although the esophagus is known to be a radiosensitive organ, it is under studied and further information regarding how dose and radiation quality impact its sensitivity may provide strategies to prevent esophageal cancer. The purpose of this thesis was to understand factors that play a role in the tissue’s radiosensitivity that may relate to its cancer risk. In this study, we used two esophageal 3D models, as well as both human and mouse cells, to define radiation quality and dose dependent …

Immunohistochemistry In Irradiated Skin Tissue, Breeann J. Lansiquot, Regina Day, Phd, Elizabeth A. Mccart
Journal of Health Disparities Research and Practice
Currently there is no effective treatment for radiation dermatitis that results from clinical or accidental radiation exposures. Radiation exposure can cause severe burns and sloughing of the skin and damage muscle and bone layers underneath the skin. Radiation exposure in cells results in several types of cell death, such as necrosis, apoptosis, or autophagy, or accelerated senescence. Preliminary experiments demonstrated that accelerated senescence is a primary response to radiation in normal skin cells in culture and skin tissue in vivo in mice. We wanted to use immunohistochemistry to identify the skin cells that undergo senescence in tissues obtained from 4 …
Recycling And Reuse Of Radioactive Materials, Thomas Joseph O'Dou
Recycling And Reuse Of Radioactive Materials, Thomas Joseph O'Dou
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
The Radiochemistry Program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) has a Radiation Protection Program that was designed to provide students with the ability to safely work with radioactive materials in quantities that are not available in other academic environments. Requirements for continuous training and supervision make this unique program capable of turning out graduates that have an understanding of contamination and dose control techniques that complement their knowledge of the elements that they work with. The Program has also adopted a radionuclide recovery and reuse program that has provided materials from other universities, government agencies, and private companies …
