Objective: Evaluation of structural features and metabolic/biochemical abnormalities of the bone tissue and relevant regulation patterns in children, residing in the radiologically contaminated territories (RCT).
Materials And Methods: Children (n = 148) aged 7 to 18 years old were involved in the study. Bone mineral density (BMD) is given in 3 grades according to the mean square deviation values, namely Grade I - standard (n = 75),Grade II - reduced (n = 45) and Grade III - very low one (n = 28).
Objective: To determine the structure of abnormalities of bone tissue and substantiate the management tactics inacute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) pediatric patients and in children with no oncohematological disorders, livingin radiologically contaminated territories (RCT).
Materials And Methods: Children (n = 220) living in RCT were the study participants i.e.
Objective: to determine the causes of increased bone mineral density (BMD) based on case history, clinical and laboratory data, including the assay of hormones involved in ossification processes in children, living on radiologically contaminated territories (RCT) after the accident at the ChNPP, compared to the normative BMD patterns.
Materials And Methods: There were 289 children involved in the study. The 1st group included persons with a BMD above 100 IU, 2nd group - with normative BMD (100-85 IU).
Objective: To assess the metabolic processes in bone tissue and state of thyroid gland depending on iron metabolism parameters in children of pre-pubertal, pubertal and post-pubertal age, living on radiologically contaminated territories after the ChNPP accident.
Materials And Methods: Children (n = 119) aged 6 to 18 years were examined and the 4 study groups were formed, featuring the childhood, pre-pubertal, pubertal and post-pubertal life periods. Clinical symptoms, iron metabolism parameters (serum iron (SI) and ferritin (SF) content, transferrin saturation coefficient), parameters of bone tissue metabolism (serum creatinine and alkaline phosphatase (APh)), and amino acid content in urine were taken into account.
Objective: to assess the thyroid disease in the late observation period in children who had received chemo- andradiotherapy for the acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) taking into account gender, age period and disease sub-type.
Materials And Methods: The incidence and nature of thyroid disease (hypothyroidism, thyroiditis, and thyroid can-cer) were studied in children-survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) being in remission from 6 to 25 years.The distribution of patients by leukemia subtypes was as follows: «common» - 67.
