The study was carried out within the framework of the Facility Quality Assurance Program with the purpose of to determine the calibration curve and accuracy of the Harwell Amber Perspex 3042 W dosimeters. The irradiations of the dosimeters were made in operational conditions of a Gamma lrradiator at CDTN, an R ＆ D （research and development） institute connected to the CNEN （National Nuclear Energy Commission） （Brazil）. The values for estimate of the expanded uncertainties achieved are typical of a routine dosimetry system.展开更多

Four animals were sacrificed immediately and one at week 2. Lactate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase in channel regions were examined with a Nitro-BT method staining.Results Immediately after the procedure, laser channels and surrounding injured myocardium could be stratified from the center to the border into 5 concentric zones, i.e., vaporized zone, carbonized zone, enzyme-disappeared zone, enzyme-decreased zone and enzyme-concentrated zone. Two weeks later, the phenomenon disappeared.Conclusions Immediately after transmyocardial revascularization, there is a ring of enzyme-concentrated zone at the outermost region of injured myocardium. Two weeks later, enzyme activities of reversibly injured myocytes appear to have recovered.展开更多
