Biological effects of ionizing radiations (in French)
If it is recognized that biological lesions arise from molecular lesions, it should be possible to study biological phenomena through the use of experimental models. However, this method can not be used for interpreting differences in radiosensitivity in the different groups of organisms; the law of Bergonie and Tribondeau states that chemical radioprotection or repair of radiolesions in nucleic acids gives only a partial response. The study of chemical radioproteevtion shows that, although a certain number of explanatory mechanisms can be demonstrated in vivo, they have not been confirmed in vitro. In spite of the effectiveness of ionizing radiations for the living cell, their use in all fields of industrial, scientific, and medical technology does not cease to grow, which is all the more reason for studying and understanding the effects.
