Complete blood counts were evaluated in 30 human blood samples 22 males and 18 females. Whole blood samples were irradiated by the doses ranged between 10-41AµSv/hr by radium-226, and at a different clip of exposure. CR-39 NTDs and digital radiation dosemeter ( RAM DA3-2000 ) were used to gauge an incident alpha atom denseness on the blood samples and an incident radiation dosage, severally.
The consequences show that the scope of alpha atom energy ( 1-5MeV ) in blood sample and surface of CR-39 NTDs varies exponentially depended on the restricted energy loss. The irradiation comparative survey between CR-39NTDs and the blood samples, therefore, considered as a new technique for in-vitro survey in haematology.
Changes of blood constituents ( after irradiation /before irradiation ) occurred, and clip of irradiation influential blood samples in this survey were 6 proceedingss for the chief blood constituents comparatively. The alteration in RBC was so many small, so it is less effectual than other blood constituents.
On the other manus, the most alterations in the blood contents are get downing from low radiation dosage ( 10.38-13.41AµSv/hr ) . For the doses ( 13.41 – 21.77 ) AµSv/hr, PLT counts increase quickly and adversely with the RBC and WBC, due to chromosome aberrance. PLT was reduced quickly in the high dosage ( 42.1 AµSv.hr ) do do a thrombopenia, antonym of it, WBC was increased excessively quickly, an indicant for the malignant neoplastic disease, the cause due to the addition of the alpha atom dosage. By and large, our consequences were in understanding with the necessity of blood content and the phenomena of biological radiation interaction.

1. Introduction
Radiation is toxic to the human organic structure, and increased degrees can do hurt to weave systems from free extremist harm. Exposure can be acute or chronic, and symptom badness depends on many factors like entire dosage, dose rate, distribution of dosage and the susceptibleness of the patient to the radiation. Tissue systems with greater rates of cell division, such as the haematopoietic and GI systems, typically fare worse as the necessary cell turnover is interrupted by widespread cell decease. Platelet degrees at the clip of diagnosing could be a utile predictive factor in lung malignant neoplastic disease [ 1-3 ] .
In general, high linear energy transportation ( LET ) radiation ( alpha atoms and fission fragments ) is more efficient in bring oning biological harm than low LET radiation ( gamma and X raies, I?-particles ) , because most of the incident energy will be deposited within a short distance doing heavy ionisation in the flight [ 2,4 ] .
Hematology surveies in the field of radiation ( long-run exposure ) have an active function to gauge exposure to ionising radiation, it due to increases the figure of chromosome aberrances in human blood lymph cells. This addition chiefly reflects the last twelvemonth of exposure, owing to mend mechanism, and limit the utility of this parametric quantity as a marker of long-run exposure [ 5, 6 ] .
The chief beginnings of radiation in the dirt are 238U and 232Th, these beginnings can ensue in different diseases, of which malignant neoplastic diseases are rather common, particularly lung and blood ( leukaemia ) . Leukemia concludes from infection in the blood parametric quantities ; Weight Blood Cont ( WBC ) , Red Blood Count ( RBC ) and the Platelet Count ( PLT ) , see Fig. 1. High WBC can be a mark of infection, and it is increasing in certain types of leukaemia. Low white counts can be a mark of bone marrow diseases or an hypertrophied lien. High haemoglobin ( Hgb ) can happen due to lung disease, populating at high height or inordinate bone marrow production of blood cells. Decrease in the figure of thrombocytes in the blood due to a thrombopenia, which can ensue in hapless blood curdling. Thrombocytopenia is normally defined as less than 150,000 thrombocytes per three-dimensional millimetre of blood [ 7 ] .
Lung malignant neoplastic disease ( LC ) is now the taking cause of malignant neoplastic disease mortality in the universe. Therefore, it would be utile to place predictive factors to find a patient result [ 1 ] . The aim of this survey is to measure the utility of thrombocyte counts at the clip of diagnosing as a predictive factor, and estimation optimum dose /time of irradiation for in vitro survey on blood parametric quantity regards. In the present work, low radiation doses of Ra 226Rn ( 5 AµCi ) is used for survey the haematological effects of low radiation, utilizing CR-39 Nuclear Track Detectors ( NTDs ) techniques, more inside informations about path formation in CR-39 and consequence of storage on efficiency of CR-39 are mentioned in mentions [ 8,9 ] . Complete blood count ( CBC ) calculates for the blood samples before and after irradiation, and for different dosage and irradiation times.
2. Research Methodologies
2.1 Blood Sample Collection
Blood samples ( about 3 milliliters ) are collected by venipuncture into heparinized panpipes for 25 males and female voluntaries ( 20- 43 old ages old ) , utilizing established blood-borne pathogen/biohazard safety protocols. This survey was conducted with the cooperation of the health centre of Universiti Sains Malaysia ( USM ) . Primary trial for the whole blood samples is done, and so it has been irradiated with a different radiation dosage ( 226Ra ) and clip of irradiation. The period for the blood trials ( before and after irradiation ) is less than 3 hours.
2.2 Irradiation Procedures
Blood samples are exposed to the beginning of Radium in the Biophysics research lab / School of Physics /USM. Depending on the alpha atom scope and distracted energy loss of it, a new design of an irradiation system was fabricated and used in this research, as shown in Fig.2.
Irradiation dosage and clip of irradiation vary from 10 to 41 AµSv/hr and 2 to 10 proceedingss, severally, depending on the alpha atom scope. For exposures to the radiation dosage from Ra, whole blood samples were transported at a temperature of ( 28A±2 C0 ) to the radiation collimator system, as shown in Fig.2.
The scope of alpha atom in the blood and CR-39NTDs has been taken into history in consideration to the irradiation system, utilizing the SRIM 2010 plan [ 10 ] . Irradiation was done at room temperature in a controlled country for both types of radiation. The irradiation of whole blood samples was performed instantly 2 hours after the blood samples were drowned.
2.3 Etching and scanning procedure of CR-39 NTDs
The etching ‘s systems consist on etch path sensors at 6 Normality of NaOH at 70Co, distiller H2O and H2O bath “ GOTECH TESTING MACHINES INC ” theoretical account GT-7039-M, 220 V, 50Hz. For scanning procedure, the engraved paths were observed utilizing an optical microscope fitted with a magnification of 50 Tens to 1000X. The microscope image was viewed with a high-quality monochrome charge coupled device ( CCD ) Television camera, which is connected to a PC-based image analyser, as shown in Fig.3.
3 Consequences and Discussion
Table 1 shows the scope of alpha atoms ( 1-5 MeV ) in the whole blood ( denseness of blood samples = 1.06g/cm3 ) and the CR-39 NTD ( denseness of CR-39 = 1.31 g/cm3 ) . The fluctuation of the scope of alpha atom was depended on the mark denseness ( blood or CR-39NTD ) , and this is depended on the restricted energy loss, as shown in figures 4, 5. High LET radiation of alpha atoms, which are emitted from 226Ra, is more efficient in bring oning biological harm because all the energy is deposited within a short distance, doing heavy ionisation in the flight. This is doing harm on the construction cells. Here, blood malignant neoplastic disease estimated to turn and do tumour malignant neoplastic disease. So, the irradiation combination ( comparative survey ) between CR-39NTDs and the blood samples is a new method for in-vitro survey in haematology.
Relationship between tantamount radiation doses ( AµSv/hr ) , the alpha atom denseness ( track/cm2.1minute ) which are emitted from 226Ra and enrollment on CR-39NTD and alpha atom energy ( MeV ) are listed in Table 2. One observed that the relation between them is non additive ; this is due to that the norm dosage is non merely from alpha atoms, and from the recorded dosage by the digital dosemeters represented radiation does from alpha, beta and gamma, which are emitted from 226Ra. The relationships between alpha atom energy and alpha path enrollment with the mean incident radiation dosage were logarithmic and exponential, severally, and as shown in Fig. 6. This is basically in understanding with the decay of Ra and the enrollment nature of the equipments [ 11, 12 ] . Average radiation doses which are recorded by RAMDA3-200 represent the gamma, beta and alpha radiation dosage, but the path denseness which is registered by CR-39NTDs represents the paths for alpha atoms. Therefore, the relationships ( logarithmic and exponential ) were different. So, for invitro and in-vivo surveies of Ra, these dealingss should be taken into history.
Complete blood counts ( CBC ) for the selected human blood samples before and after irradiation with ( 41.2 AµSv/hr ) are listed in Table 3. One observed that the irradiation dose affected most of the blood parametric quantities, particularly on the thrombocyte count cell ( PLT ) , depending on clip of irradiation. In Fig.7, one observed that the alteration of blood constituents before and after irradiation has been done with different ratios ; this was depended on the type of blood constituent. Time of irradiation influential blood samples in this survey were 6 proceedingss for the chief blood constituents ( PLT, WBC and RBC ) comparatively, this means that the effectual radiation dose depends on the exposure clip depending on the gross alpha energy. The alteration in RBC was so small as shown in Fig.7. ( ruddy colour ) , because ruddy blood cell hardness to radiation, so it is less effectual than other blood constituents. Meanwhile, we note that the effects happening in ruddy blood cells to be adversely effects of white blood cells, and thrombocytes, this is in understanding with the necessity of the haematologist and radiation casualties [ 13 ] .
On the other manus, Complete blood counts ( CBC ) for the selected human blood samples before and after irradiation with a different radiation dosage for 6 proceedingss is listed in Table 4. From Table 4 and Fig.8, one observed that the chief alterations in the blood contents are get downing from low radiation dosage ( 10.38-13.41 AµSv/hr ) , and so the effects reach to be stable for RBC. From the dose 13.41 AµSv/hr to 21.77 AµSv/hr, PLT counts increase quickly and adversely with the RBC and WBC due to chromosome aberrance. So, cells with residuary chromosomal harm were used as a biological end point for finding whole blood effects of low doses of radiation. PLT was reduced quickly in the high dosage ( 42.1AµSv.hr ) due make a thrombopenia, antonym of it ; WBC was increased excessively quickly, doing an indicant for the malignant neoplastic disease. The ground of this phenomenon ( blood radiation by 226Ra ) in the high dosage is due to high dosage of alpha atom, this is doing the greatest harm to the blood cells, because the alpha atoms are heavy ions. Therefore, the alpha atoms will be losing most of their energy at a short distance in their flight for irradiation. This makes ionisation for the atoms of blood cell by the method of atomic supplantings. The consequences are in understanding with the necessity of blood content and the phenomena of biological radiation interaction [ 12, 14 ] .
4 Decisions
The distributional methods for alpha atoms and radiation dosage on the surface of CR-39NTDs and the whole human blood samples have been significantly improved. The scope of alpha atom in CR-39NTDs was less than the scope of it in the human blood samples, depending on their denseness and restricted energy loss. Comparative survey between CR-39NTDs and the human blood samples was a new technique for in-vitro surveies of the blood ionisation, particularly to gauge ionisation of alpha atom. Therefore, CR-39 NTDs considered as the most suited atomic sensor to acquire alpha atom denseness deposited on the blood surface.
One concluded that the effects happening in ruddy blood cells to be adversely effects of white blood cells and thrombocytes, because the ruddy blood cells are hardness for the radiation, so we believe ruddy blood cells less effectual than other blood constituents. Meanwhile, clip of irradiation influential blood samples in this survey were 6 proceedingss, this means that the effectual radiation dose depends on the exposure clip and on the gross alpha energy. This survey authenticated that the surveies conducted outside the organic structure are necessary to measure the effectual dosage in the organic structure of the object, as the alterations that appear in the chromosomes lead to the happening of different malignant neoplastic diseases.
