[Retrospective Cytogenetic Dose Evaluation. II. Computer Data Processing in Persons Irradiated in Different Radiation Accidents].

The method for retrospective dose assessment based on the analysis of cell distribution by the number of dicentrics and unstable aberrations using a special computer program was earlier developed based on the data about the persons irradiated as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. This method was applied for the same purpose for data processing of repeated cytogenetic studies of the patients exposed to γ-, γ-β- or γ-neutron radiation in various situations. As a whole, this group was followed up in more distant periods (17-50 years) after exposure than Chernobyl patients (up to 25 years).

[Retrospective Cytogenetic Dose Evaluation. I. Chromosome Aberration Levels in Remote Periods after Acute External Exposure in Different Situations].

Cytogenetic analysis of peripheral blood lymphocyte cultures of 22 persons was performed in remote terms after acute external γ-, γ-β- or γ-neutron irradiation as a result of various accidents using the classical me- thod. The initial dose estimates were obtained using physical calculations, the method of measuring the EPR signal in tooth enamel, according to haematological and/or cytogenetic parameters. The purpose of this study was to obtain evidence about the state of the lymphocyte chromosome apparatus of people approxi- mately 17-50 years after an accidental radiation exposure.

[Experience of contemporary treatment of radiation burns in individuals subjected to ionizing radiation].

The article presents new approach to treatment of radiation disorders presenting as indolent ulcers. The approach is based on autologous multipotent mesenchimal stromal cells applied locally and injected around the injuried zone. The ulcers heal due to the fact that the transplanted cells stimulate local regeneration processes, angiogenesis, ceased inflammation and apoptosis.

[The microsurgical tissue autotransplantation as a way of local radiation skin injuries' treatment].

The experience of 127 microsurgical autotransplantations of skin-muscular flaps in 93 patients with severe radiation skin injuries was analyzed. As free revascularized flaps the greater omentum, the skin-muscular thoracodorsal flap, the scapular, the radial flap, including flaps with a part of the radial bone, the deltoideus, the rotated skin-muscular flap of the abdominal rectus muscle, the scapular and/or serratus anterior fascia were used. The transplants' acception was registered in all cases.

[Mesenchymal stem cells transplantation in the treatment of radiation skin lesions].

Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells, both at early and later stage after local exposure of rats source beta radiation dose, 90Sr/90Y 140 GR, stimulates recovery of damaged skin. Diminution area local radiation injuries and accelerate healing radiation ulcers. Clinically shows the high efficiency of the transplantations autologous mesenchymal stem cells in treatment of deep beam ulcers, intractable standard conservative treatment.
