The biological effects of low dose rate (LDR) Cf-252 radiation were compared to LDR Cs-137 photon radiation and acute 60Co radiation. The RBEn for endogenous CFU-S in vivo was 2.1 for neutron radiation at a dose rate of 9.9 cGy/hr of Cf-252 radiation. The value was consistent with previous in vitro experiments where a value of 2.1 was found. For the low doses and low dose rates studied, we tested an acute assay dose following the LDR irradiation to determine dose-effect and RBEn. Organ size shrinkage and regeneration patterns after LDR Cf-252 and Cs-137 were also studied and showed greater growth delay for Cf-252 irradiated lympho-hemopoietic tissues.
将低剂量率(LDR)的Cf-252辐射的生物学效应与LDR Cs-137光子辐射及急性60Co辐射进行了比较。对于体内内源性脾集落形成单位(CFU-S),在Cf-252辐射剂量率为9.9 cGy/小时的中子辐射下,相对生物效应(RBE)n为2.1。该值与之前体外实验中发现的2.1这一数值一致。对于所研究的低剂量和低剂量率,我们在LDR照射后测试了急性试验剂量,以确定剂量效应和RBE。还研究了LDR Cf-252和Cs-137照射后的器官大小缩小和再生模式,结果显示Cf-252照射的淋巴造血组织生长延迟更大。
