[A cytogenetic study of patients with disordered thyroid homeostasis].

The cytogenetic disturbances in peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with various thyroid diseases were studied. It was found that hormone administration results in chromosome aberration and micronucleus (MN) rate increase. The changes in the chromosome aberration spectrum correspond with radiation induced changes in the spectrum.

[Radiation damages in human lymphocytes studied by micronucleus and chromosomal analysis].

It was shown that the dependence of the micronucleus number and chromosome aberration on irradiation dose is linear quadratic, the values of linear coefficient being different. The distribution of ameliorators and children from the areas with higher irradiation level by micronucleus test conforms to Poisson distribution, while the distribution by chromosomal analysis approaches to binomial distribution.

[A comparative study of the micronucleus test and chromosome aberrations in PHA-stimulated human lymphocytes].

A dose dependence of the number of cells with chromosome aberrations was studied in PHA-stimulated donor's peripheral blood lymphocytes irradiated in vitro with doses of 10-400 cGy. In studying the number of chromosome aberrations and percentage of cells with micronuclei in parallel cultures no correlation was found between these indices within the groups exposed to a similar radiation dose.

[DNA interaction with the bifunctional acridine dye].

The comparative studies of the formation of DNA-complexes with the acridines containing one and two chromophores were accomplished. It was shown that both of acridines were bonded with DNA by means of intercalation irrespective of the ionic strength of medium (mu). When mu = 0.
