[IMMEDIATE RADIOBIOLOGICAL EFFECTS IN MICE FOLLOWING γ-IRRADIATION BY LOW DOSES].

Outbred CD-1 mice females aged 4 to 4.5-months were investigated in 21-22 hours following total γ-irradiation at 10, 25, 50, 75, 100 and 200 mGy. Loss in bone marrow karyocytes, as well as spleen and thymus mass reductions were significant in the group of animals irradiated at 50 and 200 mGy and less dramatic in mice irradiated at 75 mGy.

[Light-isotope water as a therapeutic agent for acute radiation disease].

Eighty outbred CD-I male and female mice (initial body mass of 31-34 g) and 40 male Wistar rats (initial body mass of 280-360 g) were randomly distributed into the experimental and control groups by sex and body mass. According to the results of experiments, consumption of rectified light-isotope water over 30 days immediately after irradiation by gamma-quanta 60Co at 5 Gy and 6.5 Gy can increase survivability rate significantly, accelerate hemopoiesis recovery and prevent body mass loss in irradiated animals.

[Effect of a mineral organic complex on mice radioresistance].

Experiments showed that drinking water supplemented with a complex of 12 microelements and organic acids stimulates body mass gain and strengthening of radioresistance in mice. Obviously, availability of water with the mineral and organic complex before and after irradiation was the factor in survival of a part of mice exposed to the absolutely lethal dose (7.6 Gy from gamma-quanta 60Co) and reduction of chromosomal aberrations rate in bone marrow cells in consequence of nonlethal (1 Gy) irradiation.

[Modification of the cytogenetic effects of irradiation by water with the reduced content of deuterium and heavy isotopes of oxygen].

The influence of light water with the reduced content of heavy stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen (deuterium) on the cytogenetic status of irradiated animals was investigated. In mice, hybrids of the first generation (CBA x C57B1) F1, the increase in the output (two-fold at the dose of 2 Gy) of aberrant mitoses in the cells of bone marrow and the decrease in the duration of the mitotic index of the first cellular cycle occurred under the influence of the two week maintenance before the irradiation on light water with ppm 35 obtained by the method of rectification as compared with the irradiated animals that were kept on the distilled water. It has been discovered that 24 h after irradiation the number of leukocytes in the group which consumed light water is lower than that in the animals that were contained on the distilled water.

Proton three-demensional conformal radiosurgery of arteriovenous malformation of the brain.

The proton beam radiosurgery was performed to 65 patients with brain AVM since December, 2001 till February, 2012, in Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia. We have analyzed data for 56 patients. The follow up time varied from 24 to 109 months.
