Tumors of other types were uncommon,except that ethylnitrosourea and ethylnitrosohydroxy- ethylurea induced tumors of the cervix in about half of the animals and ethylnitrosooxopropyl- urea induced some nervous system tumors.The small number of common target organs of alkylnitrosoureas in hamsters contrasted sharply with the broad spectrum of tumors they in- duced in rats,depending on the nature of the alkyl groups,and with a quite different order of potency in the latter species,1989 Academic Press.Inc.展开更多

Model parameters were: Do = 0. 55 Gy. n = 1 for α particles 4 Do = 1.44 Gy. Dq = 3.0 Gy. n=7.7 for X-rays.Incidence of α particles or X-rays induced cell transformation was dose-dependant.α particles were more efficient in inducing cell transformation than that of X-rays. The enhancement of SHE cell transformation by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate(PMA) following exposure to α particles of 0. 25-1. 00 Gy was observed.展开更多
