Disease relevance of Beta Rays

  • PURPOSE: Postoperative adjuvant strontium-90 beta-ray therapy is a proven technique for reducing the recurrence rate of pterygium [1].
  • In view of the importance of clinical applications of ruthenium-106 beta-ray sources for the treatment of choroidal melanoma, experimental, and theoretical approaches are presented for the dosimetry of such sources [2].
  • Rhenium-188-hydroxyethylidine diphosphonate (188Re-HEDP) is a novel and attractive radiopharmaceutical that localizes in areas of osseous metastases and emits beta particles with energy sufficient to be therapeutically useful [3].
  • Four patients with carcinoma in situ were treated with strontium-90 beta ray application [4].
  • This work is performed to utilise the idea that the energetic beta-particle emitter, 166 Ho, coupled with phosphonate ligands such as APD and APDDMP could afford a highly effective radiopharmaceutical in the treatment of bone cancer [5].

High impact information on Beta Rays

  • The administered carcinogens included the aromatic hydrocarbons benzo[a]pyrene (BP), N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU), 7, 12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA), 3-methylcholanthrene (MCA), and yttrium-91 (91Y) beta radiation [7].
  • METHODS: 332 patients with in-stent restenosis underwent successful coronary intervention, and were then randomly allocated to intracoronary beta radiation with a phosphorus-32 source (n=166) or placebo (166) delivered into a centreing balloon catheter through an automatic afterloader [8].
  • The objective of this study was investigate the ability of local emission of beta-particles from a 32P-impregnated titanium "stent" wire source to inhibit vascular SMC and endothelial cell proliferation in cell culture and to determine the dose-response characteristics of this inhibition [9].
  • Quantitative analysis of tritium polymer standards and of brain sections labeled with tritiated vasopressin was carried out by using a gaseous detector of beta particles designed for this purpose [10].
  • CHO cells were labeled with tritiated thymidine ([3H]dTTP) for 12 hours and subsequently incubated with A(L) cells for 24 hours at 11 degrees C. The short-range beta-particles emitted by [3H]dTTP result in self-irradiation of labeled CHO cells; thus, biological effects on neighboring A(L) cells can be attributed to the bystander response [11].

Associations of Beta Rays with chemical compounds

  • Individual beta radiation dosimetry was based on pharmacokinetic studies of a 20 mCi tracer dose of 153Sm-EDTMP [24].
  • Twenty fully healed rabbit ear chambers in 13 rabbits were irradiated with single exposures of 7500 rads of beta-rays from a strontium-90 source [25].
  • The effect of stretching or unloading flexor pollicis longus indirectly has been investigated by altering the force on the wrist while the subject tracked a moving spot on a cathode ray oscilloscope by flexing the top joint of the thumb against a fixed stiff lever [26].
  • Conjugates of the beta-particle emitter, iodine-131, also were tested, for comparison [27].
  • Perfusion was measured by 85Kr (beta-ray) and 133Xe (gamma-ray) clearances, fluorescein angiography and diameter measurement of arteries [28].
 

Gene context of Beta Rays

  • Effect of beta radiation on TGF-beta1 and bFGF expression in hyperplastic prostatic tissues [29].
  • Herein, we have compared beta(-) particle RIT with antibodies targeting either CD19 or CD20 [30].
  • The beta particles emitted from the (90)Sr generate blue light (lambda(max) = 435 nm) from the plastic scintillator, and the blue light excites the analyte-responsive luminophores within the CRSA [31].
  • Moreover, targeted irradiation of these tumours by beta particle emitting isotopes attached to such somatostatin analogues may become possible [32].
  • Because LCD/TFT projectors present pictures in steady state at longer durations (e.g., after 70 ms), picture presentation is more ecologically valid than for common cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors that present pictures in multiples of refresh cycles [33].
