Objective Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is the most common, dose-limiting
complication in thoracic malignancy radiotherapy. Considering its negative impact on …

Purpose To investigate the outcome of suppression of the renin angiotensin system using
captopril combined with an antioxidant (Eukarion [EUK]-207) for mitigation of radiation …

Radiotherapy is commonly used to treat thoracic malignancies, but often causes severe lung
injury. Currently there are no effective protective strategies against radiation‑induced lung …

Purpose: To investigate the temporal onset of hypoxia following irradiation, and to show how
it relates to pulmonary vascular damage, macrophage accumulation, and the production of …

PURPOSE: To find the mitigators of pneumonitis induced by moderate doses of thoracic
radiation (10–15 Gy). METHODS AND MATERIALS: Unanesthetized WAG/RijCmcr female …

Background Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) occurs after chest radiation therapy, which
ranges from acute radiation pneumonia to subsequent radiation pulmonary fibrosis …

Introduction We hypothesized that radiation-induced thoracic toxicity (RITT) of the lung,
esophagus and pericardium share a similar mechanism, and aimed to examine whether …

In some complicated situations, decompression sickness (DCS) combined with other
injuries, such as irradiation, will seriously endanger life safety. However, it is still unclear …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not hypoxia develops in rat
lung tissue after radiation. Methods and Materials: Fisher-344 rats were irradiated to the right …

Background and Purpose: The precise pathophysiological mechanisms of radiation-induced
lung injury are poorly understood, but have been shown to correlate with dysregulation of …
