Cards

Term
What does the response of an organ or tissue depend on in relevance to radiation
Definition

sensitivity of the cell populations

turnover of each population in the tissue

Term
What is a cell population
Definition
Group of cells with characteristics proprotional in particular stages of the cell cycle
Term
What year did bergonie and Tirbondeau perform irradtiation redent tests
Definition
1906
Term

What does B&T's law say

 

Definition
Ionizing radiation is more effective against cells that are actively dividing, undifferentiated, and have a longer dividing future.
Term
What is Bergonis and Tribondeau's law based on in terms of cell sensitivity, and what is it not base on
Definition
Based on the cell sensitivety being controlled by the cell characteristics, not on the radiation
Term
Why were the immature cells in T&Bs rodent tests damaged at lower radiation doses as compared to mature cells
Definition
Immature dividinf cells are dividing moe often, hence their cell cycle is more often in a phase of more sensitivity
Term
What three points are B & T's Law Based on
Definition
Cell differentiation, State in the cell cycle, and hwo many cell cycles in the future
Term
What three categories are cell populations divided in to
Definition

Stem cell

Transit Cell

Static Cell

Term

This cel population is sole purpose is to divide by either maintian its own population, or producing cells for another population

 

Definition
Stem Cell
Term

The cells are examples of what type of cell population

Basal skin cells, bone marrow, crypts of lieberkun, spermatogonia

Definition
Stem Cells
Term
Which tissues are considerd self renewing
Definition
Stem cell types
Term
This cell population has cells that are on thier way from one place to another
Definition
Transit cells
Term
What types of cell population can divide in transport
Definition
Transit cell population
Term
These cells are examples of what type of cell population
Definition
Nuleated red cell, reticulocyte
Term
This cell population looses cells throughout the life of the organism
Definition
Static Population
Term
This type of cell population would be considered to have fully differentiated cells with little to no mitotic activity
Definition
Static Population
Term
Adult nervous tissue and Muscle are examples of what ype of cell population
Definition
Static Population
Term
What does VIM Population for and are some examples of this cell type
Definition

Vegatative Intermitotic Cell

Basal Cells in epidermis, crypt cells in intestines, erythroblasts, and Type a spermatogonia

Term
What is a DIF cell Population and what are some examples of this
Definition

Diferentiating mitotic cells

Type B spematogonia

Term
What is a MPCT population
Definition

Multipotential connective tissue cells

Endothelial cells, fibroblasts

Term
What is the RPM Cell Population
Definition

Reverting post mitotic cell population

Mature lymphocyte, liver cells

Term
What is FPM population
Definition

FIxed post mitotic cells

Nerve Cells, muscle cells, RBC, Spermatozoa

Term

This cell population represents these characteristics

Most sensitive

rapidly dividing

short lifetime

Definition
VIM population
Term

This cell population represents these characteristics

produced by a division of VIM cells

actively mitotic but more differentiated than VIM

Less sensitive to radiation

 

Definition
DIM
Term

This cell population represents these characteristics

Divide irregularly

More diferentiated than VIM and DIM

Intermediate Sensitivity

 

Definition

 

MPCT

Term

This cell population represents these characteristics

do not divide

highly differentiated in structure and function

Resistant to radiation

Definition
FPM
Term
What type of cells are the exception to the rules in the RPM population
Definition
Mature White Blood Cells - Lymphocytes
Term
What two compartments are tissues made up of
Definition
Parenchymal and Stroma
Term
What type of relationship exists between sensitivity of the cell and differentiation level and whos law does this represent
Definition
Bergonie and Tribuneo - inverse relationship
Term
What was orginially thought to have happened with tissue damage when irradiated before current philosophy.
Definition
damage to tissues was thought to have happened because of damage to the vasculature ot the parenchyma of the organ.
Term
What was thought about the vasculature and sensitivity with RPM and FPM cells of lung kidney and spinal cord in older philosophy
Definition
Vasculature was thought to be more sensitive than the RPM and FPM of the parenchyma therby cause in indirect death of parenchymal tissue
Term
What does the current philosphy say about tissue response and killing of cells
Definition
Response in all normal tissue is due to killing and then depletion of critical paraenchymal cells not in indirect result of vascular damage
Term
What determines how and when the damage is manifested in the new philosophy
Definition
The differences in time to see the damage is due to the dufferences in how often the cells of that organ divide
Term
What two categories of response are normal tissues divided into
Definition
Acutely responding and Late responding
Term
How long after radiatin will acutley responding tissues manifest injury
Definition
Within 3 months
Term
How long after irradiation will late responding tissues manifest damage
Definition

At least 3months after irradiation

 

Lung, Kidney

Term
What two criteria are used to compare responses of different tissues to radiation in Assays
Definition

Must be quantifiable

the effect must have increase with increasing dose

Term
What three categories are Assays of Damage divided into
Definition

Clonogenic

Specific Tissue function

Lethality

Term
What does clonogenic mean
Definition
Relates to the ability of stem cells to maintain reproducibility
Term

This assay has

tissues that contain stem cells

capable of division

can form clones in vivo

and are also studies in SITU

Definition
Clonogenic assays
Term
In situ assyas are what type of assay
Definition
Clonogenic
Term
Skin, intestinen testis and kidney cells are studied in
Definition
SITU (clonogenic)
Term
Bone Marrow, thyroid, and mamary glands are what type of assay
Definition
Transplantation
Term
What does a transplantation assay require
Definition
irradiated tissue to be removed and then injected ino another animal
Term
What types of cells are functional assays used for
Definition
Tissues that do not have clonogenic stem cells and a response that is not well known
Term

Functional assays are used for a favorable outcome in which modality

 

Definition
Radiation Therapy
Term
What are functional assays based on
Definition
Physiology of organ or scoring visible changes
Term
How does a lethality (nonclongenic)  assay work
Definition
studies the number of animals dead after localized aradiation of a specific organ
Term
What is LD50 defined as
Definition
lethal dose that kills 50 percent of the population, and further by the time when death occurs
Term
What two things does Ancel and Vitemberger radiation damage theory depend on
Definition

Biologic stress on the cell

Conditoins to which the cell is exposed before and after radiation

Term

What was A&V theory about how cells are damaged

3 points

Definition

All cells will be damaged to the same degree for a given dose

But damage will only be expressed if and when a cell divides

Cells that divide quickly appear to be sensitive, cells that divide slowly appear to be resistant

Term
Are Transplantation assays Clonogenic
Definition
No
Term

Assays performed in Situ are a type of Clonogenic assay

True or False

What is special about an in SITU Assay

Definition
True -
