Journal ArticleDOI
Cytogenetical Dose Estimation for 3 Severely Exposed Patients in the JCO Criticality Accident in Tokai-mura
TL;DR: The estimated dose of the most severely exposed patient in the present study is the highest recorded among that chromosome analyses have been able to estimate in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Easy biodosimetry for high-dose radiation exposures using drug-induced, prematurely condensed chromosomes.
Reiko Kanda,I Hayata,D C Lloyd +2 more
TL;DR: PCC rings are a more suitable indicator than dicentrics at high doses over 10 Gy, and can be easily performed in a short time in most medical facilities to obtain dose information to assist physicians.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic analysis of chromosome aberrations in three victims of the Tokai-mura criticality accident
TL;DR: In the three patients of the Tokai-mura accident, lymphocytes in the circulating and extravascular pools had reached equilibrium at 9h, and highly damaged lymphocytes did not selectively move away from the circulatory system during the first rapid depletion of lymphocytes after exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Colcemid Concentration on Chromosome Aberration Analysis in Human Lymphocytes
TL;DR: Repeated experiments showed the importance of assuring the accuracy of colcemid concentration in the lymphocyte culture for cytogenetic radiation dosimetry, as the yield of dicentrics and centric rings in the culture having colce mid concentration were larger than that at 0.05 microgram/ml.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the yields of translocations and dicentrics measured using conventional Giemsa staining and chromosome painting
Reiko Kanda,Hayata I +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, chromosome aberrations exclusively in the first mitosis after irradiation were analyzed using human peripheral lymphocytes, and identical metaphases were analyzed by both painting and conventional Giemsa staining, which is the most reliable method to locate centromeres.
