[137-Cs levels in biliary and urinary tract organs of inhabitants of the Vitebsky Region who died in 2000-2001].

Elevated Cs levels in the liver, gall bladder, kidney and urinary bladder were identified by gamma-spectral assay in the victims of common and oncological pathologies who died in Vitebsk Region in 2000-2001. The nuclide concentrations were relatively higher in gall and urinary bladder tissues in both groups. No differences in Cs uptake were established.

[Autopsy-based data on radionuclide concentrations in selected endocrine organs (Vitebsk region, Belarus)].

Gamma spectometry was used to compare 137Cs levels in certain endocrine organs of victims of general and oncological diseases of different localizations. The radionuclide distribution in the thyroid, adrenals and pancreas was studied. Elevated concentrations were found in the endocrine system of cancer patients.

[Distribution of Cs-137 in the human body with malignant neoplasms of various localizations].

137Cs-concentrations and distribution in internal organs and malignant tumor tissues from cadavers and patients operated on for cancer were identified by gamma spectrometry in clinics of Vitebsk Region. Non-uniform distribution patterns in different organs were registered, irrespective of the presence or absence of malignancy.

[Distribution of Cs-137 in bodies of inhabitants of the Vitebsk Region].

The content of 137Cs in the whole human body and certain internal organs has been determined using gamma-spectrometry method for inhabitants of Vitebsk Region. The average activity of 137Cs in the whole human body was obtained to be 0.038 mkCu.

[The use of wild animals in radioecological monitoring].

Radionuclide content in muscular and osseous tissues of elks and wild boars was determined by means of spectrum analysis. The radioactive caesium accumulation dynamics in muscular tissues of elks and wild boars from 1986 till 1992 years is presented.
