The authors compared cytogenetic injuries level among "Radon" staffers subjected and not subjected to occupational radiation. Both groups compared demonstrated no reliable differences in spontaneous frequency of micronuclear cells. Micronuclear analysis showed no dependence of the injuried cells level on duration of work with radioactive substances and on doses of occupational radiation. Finding was significant increase in lymphocytes radiosensitivity in individuals subjected to occupational radiation. This group appeared to contain the staffers with micronuclear cells share more than 2 times exceeding average values.

Treating acute rejection of a pancreas transplant in a severely immunocompromised patient with viral opportunistic infection is challenging due to the balance of rescuing from rejection without worsening the morbidity of infection and prolonging the infection episode. We present a case involving a pancreas-after-kidney transplant in a patient with CMV high-risk discordance (donor positive/recipient negative) and chronic lymphopenia who developed difficult-to-treat CMV disease approximately six months after pancreas transplant. Following the withdrawal of the antimetabolite due to the persistent CMV DNAemia and lymphopenia, the patient experienced acute pancreas rejection without adequate and sustained response to treatment with steroids and Thymoglobulin.
