vibration and rotation of atoms
only cause cancer at very high levels

Definition
short wavelength, high frequency electromagnetic waves or particles
x-ray, gamma ray, cosmic ray
Term
effects of ionizing radiation
Definition
ionize molecules and eject electrons
Term
two major health effects of UV radiation
Definition
premature aging of skin
skin cancer
Term
why is skin cancer rates increasein
Definition
ozone depletion by CFCs increase UVB and UVC
Term
how does UVB and UVA cancer damage
Definition
generates ROS
Term
7 changes induces by UV radiation
Definition
solar elastosis (wrinkling)
injury to langerhans and keratinocytes
damage DNA
pigmentation changes
edema
erythema
acute inflammation
Term
why does UV cause edema
Definition
histamine release from dermal mast cells
arachidonic acid metabolites
pro-inflammatiory cytokines (IL-1)
Term
which UV causes pigmentation change, how
Definition
UVA oxidizes melanin
increases menalocytes
elongation and extension of dendtiric processes
transfer of melanin to keritanocytes
Term
how does UV damage DNA
Definition
pyrimidine dimers, DNA breaks, DNA proteins cross link inducing mutations (usually in p53)
Term
how does UV damage langerhans and keritanocytes
Definition
induces apoptosis (thymidine dimers detected)
RAS signaling activated
Term
how does UV cause solar elastosis
Definition
degeneration of elastin and collagen causes increased expression of elastin and MMP degradtion of collagen and indroduction of TIMP

generates ROS
Term
what does ionizing radiation to do the body
Definition
cells in G2 (esp rapidly dividing ones) are pushed into mitosis

produces ROS increasing cell injury
Term
how is the severity of ionizing radiation determined
Definition
single high dose is worse than fractioned

whole body is worse than partial
Term
how much ionizing radiation is needed to cause cancer
Definition
>50 rad
Term
causes of acute radiation syndrome
Definition
had whole body radiation
dose dependant
radiation therapy
Term
subclinical radiation syndrome: exposure amount, symptoms, prognosis
Definition
<200 rad

mild nause and vomiting, lymphocytes <1500

100% survival
Term

lymphocytes absent

death in 14-36h
Term
what are delayed radiation injuries
Definition
infertility
cataracts
fibrosis of skin, GI, GU, vagina
Term
why does radiation cause delayed fibrosis
Definition
up regulation of chemokines and growth factors involved in fibroblast activation and of chemokines which recruit inflammatory cells
Term
significance of thermal injury depends on
Definition
burn depth
%of surface involved (rule of 9s)
internal injuries from fumes
promptness of care
Term
when do burns become fatal, why
Definition
>50% of body cause shift in body fluids that cause hypovolemic shock
