The purpose of the study was to determine the efficacy of vilon administration in rats after reiterated exposure to ecotoxicants (mercury in concentration near to maximum allowable one and gamma-radiation in small dose). In 24 hours after repeated radioactive and mercuric impact (RMI) and for 30 consecutive days the animals reported lymphopenia. At the same time the indices of DNA leucocytes content and structure did not differ from the parameters of intact animals, this could evidence the development of adaptation reactions. Vilon administration led to the normalization of the lymphocytes number by the 30th day after repeated irradiation (contrary to the radioactive- chemical control), while the number of granulocytes in the test group was higher than that in the intact control group. Study of the survival rate in rats revealed that Vilon reduced morbidity of rats in the course of 15 months after RMI.

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the principal technical characteristics of a well-type gas-filled ionization chamber dose calibrator used in measuring radiopharmaceutical activity, namely accuracy, repeatability, and linearity. Furthermore, this work also explored the correlation between the device's response and the position and volume of the radiopharmaceutical I-131.
Materials And Methods: Experimental measurements were conducted on the ATOMLAB 500 dose calibrator using NIST traceable Cs-137 source to determine the accuracy and repeatability.

Article Synopsis
- B cells can be engineered to produce therapies for genetic disorders, metabolic diseases, and cancer.
- A method was developed to collect, expand, differentiate, and track B cells from non-human primates (NHPs) using radioactively labeled imaging techniques.
- The study showed that infused B cells successfully targeted the bone marrow, spleen, and liver without serious side effects, indicating the potential for repeated treatments and the viability of NHPs as a model for human B cell medicine research.
Radioactive Iodine Treatment for Thyroid Cancer Complicated by Lacrimal Sac Retention of Iodine.

Patients with intermediate-risk thyroid cancers may undergo treatment with radioactive iodine-131 (I-131). They often undergo a pretreatment diagnostic iodine scan that typically shows areas of physiological uptake in the stomach, bladder, parotid glands as well as thyroid-remnant uptake and sites of metastatic disease. A 48-year-old woman with intermediate-risk papillary thyroid cancer with metastases to lateral compartment lymph nodes was found to have increased retention of iodine in the medial portion of her left orbit on the diagnostic scan.

Article Synopsis
- * Measurements were taken with varying disc source sizes, solution volumes, and radioactivity levels, revealing that smaller sizes and lower volumes improve quantification accuracy.
- * A key finding was that lower levels of radioactivity (especially around 36 MBq) led to better accuracy, while measurements with radioactivity above 73-103 MBq were also reliable.

As the fundamental resource in nuclear energy, uranium is a sword of two sides, due to its radioactive character that could cause severe impact to the environment and living creatures once released by accident. However, limited by the passive ion transport, the currently available uranium adsorbents still suffer from low adsorption kinetics and capacity. Here, we report a self-driven modular micro-reactor composed of magnetizable ion-exchange resin and adsorbents that can be used to dynamically remove uranium from nonmarine waters.
