ABSTRACT
The article contains material on the scientific activity and life path of a well-known scientist in the field of radiation safety, the first head of the laboratory of emergency and individual dosimetry, one of the developers of the first neutron dosimeter in the USSR. This publication is a historical review of materials from the collection of the Museum of the FMBTS. A.I.Burnazyan, the archive of the scientist’s family, printed publications, is of scientific interest because it holistically presents the life and scientific path of the famous scientist who gave 58 years of service to science within the walls of the Institute of Biophysics (now part of the A.I.Burnazyan FMBC) .
The scientist made a great contribution to the formation of a new area of science at the intersection of dosimetry, radiobiology and radiation medicine, named equidosimetry at his suggestion. The museum keeps the book of I.B.Keirim-Markus "Equidosimetry", where for the first time in the world scientific literature summarized materials on the main sections of equidosimetry, the history of its occurrence, tasks, criteria for assessing the effect of radiation, in particular in large doses, the values of equidosimetry, methods and instruments for their measurement.

ABSTRACT
Purpose: To explore functional connectivity in patients with asymptomatic internal carotid arteries stenosis of more than 60% when using hirudotherapy.
Materials and methods: The analysis of the results of the examination of 15 patients aged 60 to 82 years with asymptomatic stenosis of the carotid arteries in the range of 60‒75 % was carried out. The patients underwent a course of hirudotherapy, consisting of 10 sessions. All patients underwent structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging with analysis of statistical data at rest, complaints and neurological status were assessed ‒ before and after the course of hirudotherapy.
Results: When using a course of hirudotherapy in patients with asymptomatic internal carotid arteries tenosis, when analyzing the neurological status and complaints, a significant improvement in well-being was noted. During functional magnetic resonance imaging, differences in functional connectivity between the medial prefrontal cortex and other areas of the brain were determined. Activation was noted in the main structures of the network of managerial control and identification of significance. Connectivity between the leading regions of the brain increased, which is a sign of improved brain activity.
Conclusion: Connectivity research can be used to study the functioning of brain networks and to determine the effectiveness of therapy. The course of hirudotherapy significantly changed the functional connectivity of the brain regions, the changes correlated with a decrease in the number of complaints. This work is a pilot and will be continued for the further development of treatment-and-prophylactic strategies with the inclusion of hirudotherapy in patients with a high risk of vascular accidents in a treatment.

ABSTRACT
Purpose: Defining the regularities in X-ray radiation attenuation, which characterize composite coatings based on barium sulfate and the aqueous alkaline sodium silicate solution, depending on the thickness of the layer of such coatings deposition.
Material and methods: The experiment consisted in the manufacture of experimental samples of composite coatings based on barium sulfate and the aqueous alkaline solution of sodium silicate and testing of the manufactured experimental samples. Tests of the manufactured experimental samples of composite coatings were carried out using UPR-AT300 calibration X-ray unit, DKS-AT5350 precision dosimeter in combination with a TM23361 ionization chamber (PTW Freiburg), attorney at Mendeleev All-Russian Research Institute of Metrology (Russia) on the state standards of the Russian Federation.
Results: It has been established that by increasing from 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm of the thickness of the deposition layer of these coatings, it is possible to ensure an increase of 2.0‒3.5 times of X-ray attenuation ratio values in the range of average energies 30.0‒60,0 keV.
Conclusion: The obtained results are recommended for use in solving problems related to the shielding of premises (X-ray rooms) or areas of premises (inspection zones at airports) in which X-ray sources are located.
Keywords: attenuation coefficient, X-ray radiation, composite coating, barium sulfate

ABSTRACT
Purpose: To develop the method of chemical element (ChE) content measurement in samples of breast tissue (BT) using the activation by neutrons of nuclear reactor combined with the high-resolution spectrometry of gamma-radiation of short-lived radionuclides (INAA-SLR), and to investigate ChE contents in normal human mammary gland.
Material and methods: In the samples of BT taken from female with intact mammary glands (mostly died from trauma, n = 38) the contents of calcium (Ca), chlorine (Cl), iodine (I), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), sodium (Na), and strontium (Sr) were measured. To determine these element contents, the method of INAA-SLR was developed.
Results: The accuracy of the developed method and the reliability of the results obtained in the study were confirmed by the measurements of international certified reference material IAEA H-4 Animal Muscles and the good agreement with data of its certificate. The main statistic parameters, including, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, standard error of mean, minimum and maximum values, median, percentiles with 0.025 and 0.975 levels was calculated for ChE contents in the normal BT. It was shown, for example, that means of mass fractions ± standard errors of means (M±SEM, mg/kg dry tissue) in normal human mammary gland were: Ca 128±14, Cl 1014±146,
I 0,82±0,11, K 196±20, Mg 80,0±9,4, Mn 0,27±0,04, Na 665±71 и Sr 5,20±0,75. It was found that the Ca, Cl, I, K, Mg, Mn, Na и Sr contents in human mammary gland very differ from the normal level of these elements in whole blood, muscle and adipose tissue, particularly in contents of I and Sr.
Conclusion: The method of INAA-SLR allow to obtain the representative data on Ca, Cl, I, K, Mg, Mn, Na и Sr contents in human BT specimen. It was shown, that such trace elements as I and Sr may be directly involved in the mammary gland function.

ABSTRACT
Purpose: Description of a clinical case of surgical treatment of nontraumatic rupture of the renal calyx fornix, with extravasation of contrast agent into the perirenal tissue.
Material and methods: Provided surgical treatment to a patient with spontaneous rupture of the calyx fornix on the background of ureteral obstruction caused by a stone.
Results: Considering the concomitant pathology in the form of obstructive pyelonephritis, it was decided to drain the upper urinary tract with an external stent. After 7 days, the patient underwent replacement of the external stent with the internal one. The patient underwent antibacterial, anti-inflammatory therapy, with a positive clinical, laboratory effect. Retrograde pyelography was performed 7 days later. Violations of the integrity of the cavity system of the left kidney were not revealed. The external stent was replaced with an internal one. After 2 months, ureterolitho-extraction was performed on the left.
Conclusion: From the data of the world literature and our own experience, we can conclude that spontaneous, non-traumatic rupture of the fornix is an extremely rare, urgent urological disease. We assume that the development of this process is similar to the Burhave syndrome, since smooth muscle fibers are present in the esophagus as well as in the esophagus. In order to provide immediate assistance to such patients, it is necessary to urgently drain the upper urinary tract. Timely diagnosis of this condition requires rapid tactics in the form of immediate ultrasound, radiological diagnostic methods, as well as computed tomography. The operational manual on the removal of stones in this case should be postponed for 2–3 weeks.
