The Mayak Production Association released large amounts of (90)Sr into the Techa River (Southern Urals, Russia) with peak amounts in 1950-1951. Techa Riverside residents ingested an average of about 3,000 kBq of (90)Sr. The (90)Sr-body burden of approximately 15,000 individuals has been measured in the Urals Research Center for Radiation Medicine in 1974-1997 with use of a special whole-body counter (WBC).

An analysis of long-term results of surgical treatment of 609 patients with degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the hip-joint was made. Choice of the optimum methods of surgical treatment of such patients must be based on the prognosis of effectiveness of the operative intervention taking into account general regularities associated with the degree of the arthrosis alterations, dyscongruence of the articulation surfaces and duration of the disease, the degree of disturbances of the femur head blood supply, the disturbed supporting ability and severity of the trauma. When choosing the method of surgical treatment of young patients with coxarthrosis the operative interventions aimed at saving the hip joint should be considered.

The determination of type II collagen which is commonly called procollagen brings something new in the understanding of the mechanism of degenerative dystrophic alterations in the joint cartilage. A considerable increase of a local proteolytic activity has been ascertained, which should be considered as the result of deep redox processes in the cartilage tissue.

The authors have examined 43 children by the method of radiotropic angiography, 27 of whom had various diseases of the hip joint area. The blood flow in the iliac vessels and the regional blood flow in the area of the affected vessels was studied before and after the operation making use of an osteotropic radiopharmacological drug (RPD) 99mT-phosphon. Independent of the character of the degenerative and dystrophic process in the hip joints there was a reduction in the intensity of the blood flow on the affected side reaching 15-30%, which was more expressed at stage 111 of coxarthrosis with no considerable changes after the operation.
