ABSTRACT

Purpose: Assessment of incidence and mortality risk from ischemic heart disease (IHD) in relation to radiation (external gamma- and internal alpha-exposure) and non-radiation factors (gender, age, smoking, alcohol consumption, hypertension, increased body mass index).

Material and methods: IHD risk was studied in the cohort of workers of the nuclear enterprise (22377 workers, 25 % - females) with chronic occupational exposure. Relative risks and excess relative risks per unit dose (1 Gray) were calculated based on maximum likelihood using AMFIT module of the EPICURE software. Dose estimates used in analyses were provided by an updated ‘Mayak Worker Dosimetry System-2008’.

Results: A significant linear association of IHD incidence risk with total dose from external gamma-rays was observed after having adjusted for non-radiation factors and dose from internal radiation (ERR/Gy = 0.10; 95 % CI: 0.04, 0.17). No significant association of IHD mortality risk was revealed after having adjusted for non-radiation factors and dose from internal alpha-radiation (ERR/Gy = 0.06; 95 % CI: < 0, 0.15). No association of IHD incidence risk with total absorbed dose from internal alpha-radiation to the liver after having adjusted for non-radiation factors and external gamma-dose (ERR/Gy = 0.02; 95 % CI: n/a, 0,10). Statistically significant linear association of IHD mortality risk with total absorbed dose from internal alpha-radiation to the liver was revealed after having adjusted for non-radiation factors and external gamma-dose (ERR/Gy = 0.21; 95 % CI: 0.01, 0.58).

Conclusion: This study provides strong evidence of the association of the ischemic heart disease incidence risk with external gamma-ray exposure and some evidence of the association of the mortality risk for ischemic heart disease with internal alpha-radiation exposure.

Key words: risk, mortality, incidence, ischemic heart disease, Mayak PA, gamma-ray, alpha-radiation, occupational exposure

ABSTRACT

Purpose: The analysis of EEG-indicators at different levels of psychophysiological adaptation (PFA) as its integrated characteristic, as its states: mental (PS), psychophysiological (PFS) and physiological (FS).

Material and methods: 88 employees of nuclear power plants of Russia are examined (43.1±9.4 years, 75 men). Psychophysiological examination was conducted by means of hardware and software complex “Agrarian and Industrial PFS-Control”. Techniques were used: “Technique of multilateral research of the personality”, “16-factorial personal questionnaire”, “The Raven’s Progressive Matrices”, “Level of subjective control”, “Simple visual and motor reaction”, “Difficult visual and motor reaction”, “Reaction to a moving subject”, “Variability of a warm rhythm”. Carried in parallel out the visual analysis of EEG by the method E.A. Zhirmunskaya. Existence of abnormal signs were estimated: EEG of the IV type, instability of a pattern during background record, a high index of low-frequency β-activity, flashes of bilateral and synchronous waves. The comparative statistical assessment of various groups was carried out, using parametrical and nonparametric criteria according to the BIOSTAT program.

Results: At the PFA low level 4 above-stated abnormal signs are revealed in comparison with high corresponded to the low level of mental state: EEG of the IV type and instability of dynamics. The PFS low level (in comparison with high) correlated with EEG indicators: IV type, instability of dynamics, flashes of bilateral and synchronous waves. At the FS low level were registered: EEG of the IV type, instability of dynamics, a high index β1-activity, flashes of bilateral and synchronous waves.

Conclusions: 1) PFA determined by psychophysiological tests is reflected in indicators of bioelectric activity of the brain. 2) At the PFA low level character of abnormal EEG signs allows to assume existence of functional deviations at the CNS different levels. 3) The greatest neurophysiological violations are revealed in persons with the low level of physiological state.

Key words: employees of the NPP, EEG, psychophysiological adaptation

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To study the levels and dynamics of the acute myocardial infarction (AMI) morbidity in people exposed to occupational irradiation taking into account the influence of the non-radiation risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases over the period 1998-2013.

Material and methods: The study is the prospective population research which was started in 1998 and has being developed. The research cohort of Siberian Group of Chemical Enterprises (SGCE) personnel includes the total number of the employees started employment from 01.01.1950 to 31.12.1995 (30,112 people: 20,995 men and 9,117 women). By the end of the current follow-up 20,751 people were alive and 9,361 people died. From the total number employees of the cohort 6,334 men and 2,056 women were monitored to external exposure. The AMI was diagnosed in 1,470 employees (1,091 men and 379 women). 630 SGCE employees - AMI patients (529 men and 101 women) had the data of external and/or internal dosimetry.

Results: It was established that the male and female SGCE personnel not exposed to occupational irradiation had higher level of AMI morbidity and higher growth rate of the AMI morbidity standardize coefficients over the period 1998-2013 compared to the SGCE employees exposed to irradiation (having contact to sources of ionizing radiation in a workplace), and higher growth rates of the standardized case rate coefficients an acute myocardial infarction. A slight decrease of the AMI morbidity among the SGCE male personnel in the study period (13.8 %), apparently due to the implementation of state programs of the cardiovascular diseases prevention of complications.

Key words: risk factors, low doses, acute myocardial infarction

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To obtain data on the radiation situation around JSC Zvezda Far Eastern Yard after completion of the main stage of nuclear submarine Decommissioning & Dismantlement (D&D) operations.

Material and methods: For the purpose of the radiation survey around JSC Zvezda Far Eastern Yard we used methods of foot gamma shooting, gamma-spectrometric measurements of radionuclides in the environmental media using stationary gamma spectrometer, radiochemical separation of radionuclides, followed by radiometric measurement of the radionuclide activity.

Results: The survey was carried out in 2011-2012. The received results include: gamma dose rates in the area of Bolshoy Kamen city and in its vicinity; specific activities of radionuclides in soil and foodstuffs; and radionuclide concentrations in the marine environmental media (such as seaweeds, bottom sediments, marine fish) of the coastal water area of BolshoyKamen, Sukhodol and Andreyeva Bays.

Conclusions: Significant impact of nuclear submarines’ D&D operations on the radiation situation within the territory in the area of JSC Zvezda Far Eastern Yard is not revealed.

Key words:nuclear submarines, recycle, radiation examination, gamma radiation, the specific activity

Abstract

Purpose: The sharp increase in the use of mobile phones has put on the agenda the question of the need to study the adverse effects of electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobile phones on the human health. The objective of the paper is to study the effect of low-intensity electromagnetic radiation at frequencies 900 and 1800 MHz (the standards of cellular communication) at levels of purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) activity in the blood serum, liver, and brain of rats, and the alkaline phosphatase (AP) in the serum of rats using two schemes of radiation scheme: single and fractionated (fractional) at different terms of postradiation (the 1st, the 5th, the 10th and the 20th day).

Material and methods: The objects of the study were two enzymes - PNP and AP. PNP is one of the enzymes that characterizes the immune status of the organism. Inhibition of this enzyme leads to the disruption of homeostasis of nucleosides that causes T cell immunodeficiency. AP is involved in the metabolism of phosphoric acid, contributes to phosphorous transport in the body. The materials of the study were white mongrel male rats radiated by a single (two hours continuously) and fractional (for half an hour for four consecutive days) schemes of electromagnetic radiation with frequencies of 900 and 1800 MHz. SPSS package was used for statistical data processing (Statistical Package for Social Science).

Results: Electromagnetic radiation causes oscillatory character of the change in activity of the AP and almost completely inhibits the activity of PNP in the serum. Toxic effect did not affect the activity of the brain and hepatic purine nucleoside phosphorylase. The enzyme in these organs proved resistant properties to this mode of radiation.

Conclusion: It is shown that the electromagnetic radiation with frequencies of 900 and 1800 MHz inhibits PNP in the serum and in the liver and brain enzyme exhibits resistant properties to the action of the radiation, which is apparently due to the absence of toxic effects in these tissues under the influence of the used irradiation modes. The vibrational change of AP activity in serum testify to a considerable sensitivity of serum AP to the effects of the used type of radiation. In subsequent experiments it will be necessary to increase the duration of exposure. In the following experiments it will be necessary to increase the duration of the irradiation.

Key words: purine nucleoside phosphorylase, alkaline phosphatase, activity, electromagnetic radiation, cellular communications
