This study is the first proof of concept that the FLASH effect can be triggered by X-rays. Our results show that a 10 Gy whole-brain irradiation delivered at ultra-high dose-rate with synchrotron generated X-rays does not induce memory deficit; it reduces hippocampal cell-division impairment and induces less reactive astrogliosis.
这项研究首次证明了 X 射线可以引发 FLASH 效应。我们的结果表明,用同步加速器产生的 X 射线以超高剂量率进行 10Gy 的全脑照射不会引起记忆缺陷;它减少了海马神经元分裂损伤,并诱导较少的反应性星形胶质细胞增生。
