The usefulness of apoptotic fragments assay for investigating radiation response of hair follicles was examined. Frequency was defined as the ratio of the total number of apoptotic fragments to the number of hair follicles per section examined. The curve of dose-effect relationship for the data of apoptotic fragments was obtained by fitting the linear-quadratic model y= a+bD+cD2. When plotting on a linear scale against radiation dose, the line of best fit was y= 0.549 +/- 1.775) + 3.578 +/- 1.236)D + (-0.124 +/- 0.139)D2. The dose-response curves were linear-quadratic and a significant relationship was found between the frequency of apoptotic fragments and dose. The morphological findings of the irradiated groups were typical apoptotic fragments in the matrix region of hair follicles, but the spontaneous occurrence of apoptotic fragments was not observed. Since the apoptotic fragments was not observed. Since the apoptotic fragment assay is simple and reproducible in the whole body irradiation range of 0.5 to 8 Gy, it may be a good tool for evaluating the dose response of low dose radiation in vivo and provide a potentially valuable biological dosimeter for dose distribution determinations following accidental exposure.

D005720 Gamma Rays Penetrating, high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted from atomic nuclei during NUCLEAR DECAY. The range of wavelengths of emitted radiation is between 0.1 - 100 pm which overlaps the shorter, more energetic hard X-RAYS wavelengths. The distinction between gamma rays and X-rays is based on their radiation source.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D017209 Apoptosis A regulated cell death mechanism characterized by distinctive morphologic changes in the nucleus and cytoplasm, including the endonucleolytic cleavage of genomic DNA, at regularly spaced, internucleosomal sites, i.e., DNA FRAGMENTATION. It is genetically programmed and serves as a balance to mitosis in regulating the size of animal tissues and in mediating pathologic processes associated with tumor growth.

D018859 Hair Follicle A tube-like invagination of the EPIDERMIS from which the hair shaft develops and into which SEBACEOUS GLANDS open. The hair follicle is lined by a cellular inner and outer root sheath of epidermal origin and is invested with a fibrous sheath derived from the dermis. (Stedman, 26th ed) Follicles of very long hairs extend into the subcutaneous layer of tissue under the SKIN. Follicle, Hair,Follicles, Hair,Hair Follicles
