Atomic Force Microscopy Measurement of DNA Fragment Induced by Heavy Ions

Choosing ^7 Li and ^12C heavy ions respectively with different linear energy transfer (LET) values, purified plasmid DNA samples in aqueous solution are irradiated with various doses. The atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used for analysis of DNA fragments induced by both the kinds of heavy ions. There is a change of three forms of DNA, i.e. supercoiled, open circular and linear form, as the dose is observed. The distribution function of DNA fragment length is obtained for the first time and fitted with the Tsallis entropy statistical theory. The result indicates that AFM is a useful tool for analysis of the short fragment of DNA, high-LET heavy ion radiation induces DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) more effectively, and the distributions of the DSBs are more local and dense in comparison with low-LET radiation.

Furthermore， many wounded persons were injured by proton and other heavy ion radiation in a nuclear warhead or nuclear terrorism attack. However， the damage effect of proton radiation is known little in our country. In this study， the proton induced histopathologic changes of mice were observed primarily. naesthetic mice were irradiated with the 19 MeV protons dili vered by HI 13 tandem accelerator at CIAE in different doses(2， 4， 8， 16 Gy). In order to observe the da mage effect， mice were killed by anaesthetic at different time point after radiation， and the tissue sections were analyzed by a histopathologic method. The results show that all of the mice’s backs began displaying ringed depilation at post irradiation day 7. Many epidermal cells necrosis and exfoliation happened， and subcutaneous dropsy was observed. There were some focal necrosis or even followed with bleeding in heart and liver. Hepatocyte evidently regenerated. A hyperaemia was seen in lung tissue and alveolar septum was obviously thickening. Acinus renis represented notable pyknosis， necrosis and disappearance. Especially， these pathologic alteration clearly displayed in high dose groups. In conclusion， proton radiation can induce different grade injury to skin， heart， liver， lung， kidney and other organs. Further studies should be made to deeply understand the mechanism about the proton radiation damage.

γ射线诱导DNA损伤中DNA浓度和剂量率的影响

在进行辐射致DNA损伤中, DNA浓度和剂量率是两个重要的因素。 利用γ射线在不同的剂量率下对不同浓度的质粒DNA pUC19水溶液进行了辐照， 利用凝胶电泳对辐照后的样品进行分析。 结果表明， 在同一剂量下被辐照的DNA样品， 随浓度的降低DNA损伤越来越严重； 通过分析软件和理论公式得到的每个DNA上的双链断裂数随着DNA浓度的变化呈现为非线性趋势。 As two factors， the changes of concentration of DNA and dose rate are of significance in the study of DNA damage induced by irradiation.
