ABSTRACT

Purpose: To investigate skin fibroblasts proliferation and activity in patients with chronic radiation exposure.

Material and methods: The study of skin fibroblasts bioptates from patients with chronic radiation exposure (19 samples, the mean age was 66.1 ± 7.6 years) and healthy donors (15 samples). Culturing of skin fibroblasts were performed by standard methods. The average dose accumulated during chronic radiation exposure of the soft tissue was 0.03 ± 0.03 Gy in the study group, and 0.53 ± 0.75 Gy of the bone marrow. Study of proliferative activity of skin fibroblasts was carried out by Delta Cell Index for the normalized time point with the slope of the curve in the exponential growth phase using cell analyzer xCELLigence. Investigation of the secretory activity of skin fibroblasts (concentration vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interleukin 6 (IL-6), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF) in the cultural medium were determined by ELISA kits (R & D Systems, USA).

Results: It is found that the normalized cell index delta of skin fibroblasts was higher in the skin fibroblasts of patients compared with the healthy donors (189.91 ± 21,35 EU and 108.67 ± 4.25 EU, respectively, p = 0.04), that is, the decrease of proliferative activity in the patients compared to the control group. The secretory activity of skin fibroblasts is different: the concentration level of VEGF and BDNF was higher in the healthy donors compared with patients -174.22 ± 12.21 and 86.37 ± 6.81 pg/ml, p = 0.04; 80.10 ± 7.22 and 12.66 ± 2.35 pg/ml, p = 0.03, respectively. The concentration of IL-6 in the culture medium of the healthy donors is lower than in the patients (26.45 ± 5.16 and 116.68 ± 10.01 pg/ml, p = 0.03). It was found that there is the correlation between the dose of chronic radiation exposure and the fibroblasts secretion activity and proliferative potential.

Conclusion: The dose accumulated during chronic radiation exposure affects the proliferation and activity of skin fibroblasts. The dose accumulated during chronic radiation exposure correlates with biochemical markers.

Key words: proliferation, secretion, skin fibroblasts, chronic radiation Exposure

ABSTRACT

Purpose: to obtain data on radiation exposure of natural radionuclides for Krasnokamensk inhabitants.

Materials and methods: For the purpose of the radiation survey in Krasnokamensk, we used methods of foot gamma shooting, gamma-spectrometric measurements of natural radionuclides in the environment using portable and stationary devices, radiochemical separation of radionuclides and its radiometric measurement.

Results: The survey was carried out in 2011–2013. The following data have been received: gamma dose rate at the area of the city and its neighborhood; specific activities of natural radionuclides in soil; specific activities of radionuclides in foodstuffs. Based on these data, radiation exposure for the inhabitants from natural radiation sources (external exposure, internal exposure due to ingestion of radionuclides via food) was assessed.

Conclusions: The level of intervention (which was established in NRS-99/2009) for drinking water has increased by the total number of natural radionuclides and 222Ra concentration in water. The average annual effective dose of the exposure of the inhabitants is 4.8 mSv. According to OSPORB-99/2010, the natural radiation exposure of the inhabitants of Krasnokamensk is somewhere at the boundary of acceptable and increased exposure.

Key words: natural radionuclides, gamma dose rate, inhabitants, radiation situation, average annual effective dose, specific activity

1. N.N. Blokhin Russian Cancer Research Center of RAMS, e-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ; 2. Moscow State Medical and Dental University, Moscow, Russia

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The recurrence rate of nasopharyngeal cancer is 8-58 %. The main treatment is to conduct a repeated course of radiation therapy which is associated with a high risk of severe complications.

Case report: This article presents a case of reiiradiation of recurrence squamous cell carcinoma of the nasopharynx.

Discussion and conclusion: The incidence of severe post-irradiation damage during reirradiation of recurrence nasopharyngeal cancer depends on the received dose and the method of treatment. Application of conformal radiotherapy reduces posttherapeutic complications in 2.5 times.

Key words: nasopharyngeal cancer, recurrence, radiation therapy, late postradiation complications

ABSTRACT

The effect of the regulations established in the latest version of OSPORB-99/2010, edition of 2013, of the discharge of liquid radioactive waste (RW), radiation safety in radionuclide diagnostics in vivo, radionuclide diagnostics in vitro, and in radionuclide therapy was studied. It is shown that the new version of OSPORB sets much more stringent standards for liquid radioactive waste without any radiobiological or radioecological ground. New regulations lead to unnecessary economic costs and (or) reduces bandwidth of radionuclide therapy departments without increasing the level of radiation safety for the population and the environment, while decreasing radiation safety for staff. In addition, the new version of OSPORB contradicts a number of domestic regulations and international recommendations.

Key words: new version OSPORB-99/2010, nuclear medicine, radiation safety

ABSTRACT

The current paper is devoted to the major results of the work of the 62nd Session of the UNSCVEAR that was held in Vienna from June 1-5, 2015. Within the framework of the meeting of the Work group and subgroups the documents on the following projects were discussed:

- methodology for estimating human exposures due to radioactive discharges;

- radiation exposures from electricity generation;

- biological effects of selected internal emitters;

- developments after the 2013 UNSCEAR Report on the levels and effects of radiation exposure due to the nuclear accident following the great East-Japan earthquake and tsunami;

- cancer epidemiology of exposures at low dose-rates due to environmental radiation;

- improvement of the medical exposure dose estimates.

During the Pannel some organizational issues such as the status of UNSCEAR publications, governing principles of the Committee’s activities, the structure of the UNSCEAR Executive, public affairs, future research program, a report to the General Assembly and etc., were were discussed.

Key words: 62nd UNSCEAR Session, exposure doses, electricity generation, radioactive discharges, biological effects, epidemiology, medical exposure, environment
