Local Radiolesion in X-Ray Inspection Specialists.

As a result of some deviations in the installation of the X-ray inspection plant 'Extravolt-225/1600' two workers of an X-ray inspection laboratory were exposed to the radiation in a dose enough to cause an acute local radiolesions (LRs). The first patient was diagnosed with an acute LR of the hands of severe and extremely severe degree. The second patient was diagnosed with a mild LR of her right hand.

[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.

Successful treatment of localised radiation lesions in rats and humans by mesenchymal stem cell transplantation.

Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), at early and later stages after local exposure of rats to 140 Gy 90Sr/90Y beta radiation, was found to stimulate recovery of damaged skin. The area of local radiation injuries (LRIs) and accelerated healing of radiation ulcers was obtained. Clinical evolution showed the high efficiency of the transplantations of autologous MSCs for the treatment of deep beam ulcers, usually refractive to standard conservative treatment.

[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.

[The results of 25 year-cytogenetic investigation of survivors exposed to different doses of irradiation in the Chernobyl accident].

Changes of registered levels of chromosome aberrations were studied in the peripheral blood lymphocyte cultures of 74 patients irradiated as a result of the Chernobyl accident by the instrumentality of the routine method during 25 year. The initial dose estimations by average dicentrics frequency varied from 0.2 to 9.
