ABSTRACT
Purpose: Investigation of diagnostic and operational capabilities of pulsed nanosecond X-ray complex compared with commercial X-ray systems based on DC-tubes using digital flat panel detectors.
Material and methods: 3 X-ray systems are considered: pulsed X-ray source Jasen-01 with Carestream DRX-1 detector, Definium AMX 700 mobile apparatus with General Electric detector, Evolution HV complex with Canon CXDI-40EC panel detector. The analysis of these systems is based on images quality evaluation and effective dose measurement. DKS-AT 1123 detector and Unifors Xi dosimeter are used for devices radiation parameters control.
Results: Analysis of digital X-ray images shows good results of pulsed system. Snapshots taken by using this device have the same quality as one obtained with Definium AMX 700 system, and its insignificantly is worse than a typical one for Evolution HV. Using pulsed X-ray source with digital detector, we achieve up to 25 times dose decreasing compared with commercial systems with DC-tubes.
Conclusion: Application of pulsed X-ray sources with digital detectors allows to reduce the dose by 25 times comparing with DC-sources. This result is especially important for C-arm device exploitation. Since it operates in real-time mode, application of pulsed X-ray systems with the digital detector significantly decreases patients and medical staff dose and increases the duration of the procedures under X-ray control.
Key words: pulsed X-ray diagnostic system, reduction of radiation exposure, equivalent dose, X-ray, digital detector

ABSTRACT
Purpose: To determine the typical sonographic osteochondral manifestations of rheumatoid (ReA), reactive, gouty arthritis, osteoarthritis (OA), joint syndrome in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and systemic sclerosis (SSc), psoriatic arthropathy (PsA) of the early pathological process, trace its dynamics.
Material and methods: Arthrosonography was made for 540 patients with articular syndrome in the expert class machines. The basic structure of the ultrasonic symptoms of hyaline cartilage and underlying bone, their changes are specific for each type of nosology.
Results: The Change in joint cartilage plates installed in 75.4 % of cases. Echographic pattern of pathology consisted of varying the thickness of the cartilage disk, its echogenicity, texture, contour, presence or absence of additional education in the projection of hyaline tissue. The lack of pathology of the articular cartilage was observed in patients with ReA acute course (n = 70), the debut of gout (n = 8), patients with a short period of the disease SLE, SSc and PsA (n = 19, 16, 69 respectively), in OA young people with the period of the disease is not more than 2 years (n = 52). Bone changes were presented in two versions: as a symptom of hardening layer subchondral bone (9.9 %), symptoms of marginal bone growths (5.2 %). The sensitivity of ultrasound as a whole was 84.4 %, specificity - 83.1 %, accuracy - 83.8 %.
Conclusions: An analysis of the dynamics of the ultrasound picture in rheumatoid and reactive arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, psoriatic arthropathy and articular syndrome in systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic sclerosis was a direct correlation between the activity of the pathological process, the duration of the disease, its stage of radiological and ultrasound appearances. Erozirovanie articular cartilage may identify within 2.8 months after the occurrence of a destructive arthritis, degenerative changes and microcrystalline inclusions in the thickness of cartilage - after 6.1 months.
Key words: arthropathy, cartilage, bone structure of the joint, ultrasound diagnostics

ABSTRACT
Purpose: To conduct a study on the characteristics of the quantitatively-cellular, functional and oxidation-reduction homeostasis of the blood system at late time after exposure in residents of the territories contaminated with radionuclides in the South Urals.
Material and methods: The study included a comprehensive analysis of the morpho-functional and oxidant-antioxidant status of the peripheral blood cells in residents of the Techa riverside villages all of whom was exposed to a prolonged non-uniform radiation with a broad dose range (4.7 Gy to the RBM ad maximum, up to 0.4 Gy to the organs of the peripheral immunopoiesis), and of whom the majority of whom had attained old or senile age. The approach used included up-to-date methods of laboratory diagnostics (multipleparameter method for carrying out blood analyses, integrated study of the immune system, assessment of the rates of the oxidative stress). The control group consisted of individuals residing either on uncontaminated territories or on territories with minimum levels of contamination (accumulated dose to the RBM was up to 0.06 Gy, the dose rate reached 0.001 Gy/year).
Results: The obtained data thus allowed us to draw a conclusion regarding the safety of the quantitative-cellular, functional and oxidation-reduction homeostasis of the blood system in persons exposed within the range of accumulative doses to RBM from 0.07 to 4.7 Gy (to the organs of the peripheral immunopoiesis up to 0.4 Gy) in spite of the long-term habitation on contaminated territories and the currently attained old age and senility. The following aberrations were observed only in particular blood indices: a reduced number of thrombosytes in 20.2 % of exposed persons and a tendency towards an increase in the number of CD95-positive lymphocytes may indirectly testify to some concealed injuries in the genome of the cells which representig the offspring of the pool of hematopoietic stem cells that had incurred damages during the period of maximum radiation exposures. No changes were observed in the indices characterizing the functional status of the immune cells and the components of the oxidant stress: the level of oxidants (malonedialdehyde (MDA), endogenous nitrite), and the principal enzyme of the antioxidant protection copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD) were at the level of equal-age control.

ABSTRACT
Purpose: To study the modification of radiation, hyperthermic and radio-hyperthermic damage of tumor cells in vitro by chemotherapeutic agents – cisplatin, gemzar and paclitaxel.
Material and methods: SCC7 and V-79 cells in suspension were gamma-irradiated or treated with hyperthermia (42 °C, 30 min) in the presence of one of these compounds. The radio- or thermomodifying effects were estimated according to the decrease in cell clonogenicity of suppression of their growth.
Results: Щsplatin, 1μg/ml, itself decreased V-79 cell survival by 20 %. It increased the effect of gamma-radiation on clonogenicity with dose modification factor (DMF) ≈1.4, and had only additive effect for hyperthermic treatment (42 or 43 °C, 30 min), which itself decreased clonogenicity by 1.14 times. Gemzar (3 μg/ml) was tested on SCC7 cells, itself decreasing cell clonogenicity by 1.15 times. At this concentration gemzar substantially increased radiation damage, decreasing cell clonogenicity by 1.68 times. The DMF of hyperthermic treatment after radiation was only 1.07. The loss of cell clonogenicity in case of irradiation and following hyperthermia was increased by gemzar with DMF 1.8. The modifying effect of paclitaxel was studied also on SCC7 cells, but using suppression of cell growth as an end-point. At the concentration 0,068 μʠpaclitaxel diminished cell growth by 20 %, increased the effect of radiation with DMF = 1.3 and effect of hyperthermia by 10 %. Hyperthermic treatment (43 °C, 30 min) itself increased the effect of radiation with DMF=1.4. Due to its own effect on the cell growth and modification of radiosensitivity, the outcome of cell irradiation in the presence of paclitaxel was 1.58 times (DMF) larger than the effect of radiation alone.
Conclusion: These data demonstrates that the combined effect of radio-thermoradiotherapy and chemotherapy of tumors exceeds the additive effect of these three modalities. The largest modifying effect is shown by gemzar, and this corresponds to the data of other investigators. It is also essential to estimate the degree of chemotherapeutic radiothermotreatment’s modification for different normal tissues and cells.
