Abstract: There have been demonstrated the results of observation of 60 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus divided into groups: the I one consisted of participants in the rectification of the consequences of the accident (PRCA) got radiation dose 0.25–0.9 Gy (38 persons), the II group included the inhabitants of radiation contaminated territory (accumulated doses during post-accident years on the average 8.3 cGy (15 persons)), the III group consisted of habitants of Kyiv (16 persons). The groups are comparable on age, disease duration, lipid metabolism disorders. The pancreatic insular apparatus functioning was estimated by determining glucose concentration, C-peptide, blood serum proinsulin under 2-hour mixed nutritive load (300 kсal, 80 % of carbohydrates, 20 % of fat and protein). PRCA were found to have increased blood serum concentration of proinsulin stimulated by postprandial glycemia while C-peptide level did not change. That indicates marked insulin resistance combined with insulin deficiency. The inhabitants of contaminated territory have decelerated reaction on postprandial glycemia associated with increased concentration of C-peptide and proinsulin in 120 minutes after nutritive load. In the persons not undergone radiation C-peptide and proinsulin concentration tended to increase, but PRCA had higher level of stimulated proinsulinemia in comparison with the habitants of contaminated territory and Kyiv.

Keywords: diabet, liquidators
Abstract: studying, in 1990 to 2009, level of incidence of diabetes among liquidators of the Chernobyl accident residing in Kharkov, its increase was revealed to be 6 times the level of the whole population of the city, while the incidence of diabetic retinopathy among the liquidators also showed an increase of 1.8 times. Aim of the current research is to analyze the effect of ionizig radiation, age, and time of being under the influence of risks to the prevalence of diabetes and diabetic retinopathy in the cohort of liquidators of the Chernobyl accident.

Keywords: Diabetic retinopathy, liquidators, sermion
Abstract: The results indicate the efficiency of including sermion in the complex therapy of the liquidators of the Chernobyl accident with diabetes mellitus. The inclusion of sermion contribute to the improvement of functional and electrophysiological parameters of the organ of vision and the stabilization of pathological process in the retina in 80% of patients with diabetic retinopathy

Abstract: Plantings of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) on a waste burial site in the Chernobyl Red Forest was shown to greatly influence the long term redistribution of radioactivity contained in sub-surfaces trenches. After 15 years of growth, aboveground biomass of the average tree growing on waste trench no.22 had accumulated 1.7 times more 137Cs than that of trees growing off the trench, and 5.4 times more 90Sr.
