| Abstract | Early oral mucositis occurs in response to accidental upper partial body exposure as well as to radiotherapy in the head-and-neck region. This study was initiated to define the potential of mobilization of endogenous bone marrow (BM) stem cells by rHuG-CSF or of bone marrow transplantation (BMT) to reduce the effect of single-dose irradiation on mouse oral epithelium. A 3 × 3 mm2 area of the lower tongue surface of mice was irradiated with graded single doses (day 0). Mucosal ulceration was used as the endpoint for dose–response analyses. Stem cells were mobilized by rHuG-CSF (8 times/4 days), timed to achieve a maximum of circulating stem cells on days 0, +1, +4, +8 or +10. Alternatively, syngeneic BM was transplanted on these days. The ED50 (dose at which ulceration is expected in 50 % of the animals) for irradiation alone was 11.9 ± 3.4 Gy. Mobilization of stem cells with a maximum of circulating stem cells on days +4, +8 or +10 significantly increased the ED50 to 25.5 ± 10.1, 23.5 ± 10.1 and 26.5 ± 13.0 Gy. In contrast, a maximum of circulating stem cells on day 0 or day +1 had no effect. BMT did not result in a significant change in isoeffective doses in any of the protocols. In conclusion, the response of oral mucosal epithelium to a single-radiation exposure can be significantly reduced by post-exposure mobilization, but not by transplantation, of BM stem cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
