Data are presented on the frequency of multi-aberrant cells in lymphocytes gained during the period from 1967 to 1992 in some groups of the USSR inhabitants, who contacted with different environment mutagenesis. It is shown that the results of the study of 1500 men give a possibility to account some groups of multi-aberrant cells not to be artifacts and to be induced by some of the mutagens studied.

Ionizing radiation is a well-known carcinogen that causes genomic instability. However, the biological and carcinogenetic effects of occupational radiation exposure at low doses have not been extensively studied. The aim of this study was to assess chromosomal instability in power plant workers exposed to occupational radiation at low doses in South Korea.

Objective - to study the ability of 2,6-dimethylpyridine-N-oxide to modify the cytogenetic effects in mouse bone marrow cells caused by the pro-oxidant mutagen Dioxidine. The cytogenetic activity and mutagen-modifying effect of the plant growth regulator 2,6-dimethylpyridine-N-oxide (Ivin) were studied by the method of accounting for chromosomal aberrations in the bone marrow cells of CD-1 mice (males) with a single joint exposure with Dioxidine. Ivin was administered single orally in the form of an aqueous solution at doses of 710, 71, and 0.

Objective - to study the ability of N-oxide-2,6-dimethylpyridine to modify the cytogenetic effects in mouse bone marrow cells caused by an alkylating antitumor cytostatic cyclophosphamide.; The cytogenetic activity and mutagen-modifying effect of the plant growth regulator N-oxide-2,6-dimethylpyridine (Ivin) were studied by the method of accounting for chromosomal aberrations in the bone marrow cells of CD-1 mice (males) with a single joint exposure to cyclophosphamide. In the first variant of the research, Ivin was administered single orally in the form of an aqueous solution at doses of 710, 71, 7.

We report two cases of interventional radiologists who had been exposed to radiation while performing fluoroscopically-guided interventional procedures (FGIPs), mainly transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, percutaneous catheter drainage, and percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage procedures, for over 10 years. They had a unique multi-aberrant cell type with not only high numbers of dicentrics and/or centric rings but also excess acentric double minutes, similar to a rogue cell. As revealed in a self-administered questionnaire, they wore personal dosimeters and protective equipment at all times and used shielding devices during interventional fluoroscopy procedures.

New molecular cytogenetic biomarkers may significantly contribute to biodosimetry, whose application is still globally diverse and not fully standardized. In 2011, a new term, chromothripsis, was introduced raising great interest among researchers and soon motivating further investigations of the phenomenon. Chromothripsis is described as a single event in which one or more chromosomes go through severe DNA damage very much resembling rogue cells (RC) described more than 50 years ago.
