BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF IONIZING RADIATION ON TISSUES,ORGANS AND SYSTEMS
Types of cellular damage Norma Mutation repair Changes of metabolism & function Interphase cell death Mitotic cell death
Radiosensitivity of tissues Bone marrow CNS Skin • Highlyradiosensitive • Lymphoid tissue • Bone marrow • Gastrointestinal epithelium • Gonads • Embryonic tissues • Moderately radiosensitive • Skin • Vascular endothelium • Lung • Kidney • Liver • Lens (eye) • Leastradiosensitive • Central nervous system (CNS) • Muscle • Bone and cartilage • Connective tissue
Relative radiosensitivity of various organs based on parenchymal hypoplasia
Haematopoietic system Bone marrow
Hierarchical organization of haematopoiesis BFU-E CFU-E red blood cell CFU-MK BFU-MK platelets CFU-GEMM CFU-M CFU-GM monocytes CFU-G neutrophils CFU-Ba Stem cell basophils CFU-Eo CFU-L eosinophils CFU-BL B lymphocytes Thymus CFU-TL T lymphocytes Proliferation Blood Differentiation Bone marrow
Bone marrow kinetics Normal physiological situation Resting stem cells Proliferating compartment: stem cell and progenitors Differentiating compartment: precursors Mature cells Blood exit differentiation activation proliferation, differentiation Stem cells:immature cells with autorenewal capability Progenitors:primitive cells, high proliferative potential Mature cells:no proliferative capability

Effect of radiation on gastrointestinal tract Irradiated gastrointestinal mucosa
Pathogenesis of the gastrointestinal syndrome • Depletion of the epithelial cells lining lumen of gastrointestinal tract • Intestinal bacteria gain free access to body • Haemorrhage through denuded areas • Loss of absorptive capacity
Penetration of radiation through skin stuctures Alpha radiationis absorbed in superficial layers of dead cells within the stratum corneum Beta radiationdamages epithelial basal stratum. High energy ß-radiation may affect vascular layer of derma, with lesion like thermal burn Gamma radiationdamages underlying tissues and organs
Effect of radiation on skin Irradiated Normal
Pulmonary effects Pulmonary fibrosis Irradiated lung tissue
Summary of lecture • Bone marrow consists of progenitor and stem cells, the most radiosensitive cells in the human body and the most important in controlling infection • Doses in tens of gray produce central nervous system syndrome, causing death before appearance of the haematopoietic or gastrointestinal syndromes • The latter syndromes may occur after doses of as low as 2.5 and 8 Gy, respectively. Lesions in the brain are usually caused by damage to the vascular endothelium • Lung lesions do not usually appear at radiation doses less than 10 Gy. Significant concern in partial-body irradiation and in radiation therapy
