Author: M. Kruk, J. Solecki
Reference: Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry , November 2011, Volume 290, Issue 2, pp 325-332
DOI: 10.1007/s10967-011-1395-1
Keywords: 90Sr, Milk, Dairy products, Weighted effective doses
Abstract: The aim of this article was to present the studies of radiological level of some commercial dairy products in Mazovian, Kuyavian—Pomeranian and Lublin regions. They were carried out for 27 commercial dairy products such as two specimens of lean cottage cheese, three specimens of cottage cheese containing a limited percentage of fat, three specimens of fat cottage cheese, three specimens of milk containing 3.2% of fat, three specimens of milk containing 2.0% of fat, two specimens of sour cream containing 12% of fat, three specimens of sour cream containing 18% of fat, one specimen of 30% whipping cream, two specimens of homogenized (strawberry and vanilla) cheese, three specimens of hard rennet cheese, one specimen of powdered milk, one specimen of goat milk. For the given commercial dairy products there were calculated effective doses (μSv) obtained after consumption of 1 kg contaminated product for different age groups.

Title: Nucleotide variation in the p53 tumor-suppressor gene of voles from Chernobyl, Ukraine.
Author: DeWoody JA.
Reference: Mutat Res. 1999 Feb 2;439(1):25-36.
Keywords:
Abstract: The 1986 Chernobyl disaster contaminated vast regions of Ukraine and Belarus with a variety of radioactive isotopes and heavy metals. While over 90% of the radioactive isotopes have decayed into stable compounds, radiation levels in contaminated areas are still extraordinarily high. In fact, some rodents living near the reactor have internal 134,137Cs concentrations approaching 80 000 Bq/g. Several recent genetic analyses of vertebrates have illustrated that mutation rates of organisms exposed to radiation from Chernobyl are higher than in control groups, but none have studied DNA sequences. Nucleotide sequences of rodent mitochondrial genes were originally reported to have been hypervariable, but those results were subsequently retracted. Herein, I report the results of a pilot study to determine the extent of nucleotide variation at the p53 gene in four species of rodents (voles) from Chernobyl and from control sites. I sequenced a 788 bp region (coding and non-coding) of p53 in 30 different mice comprising four different species of Microtus. Nucleotide variation at the population level was due to deletions and substitutions; both were limited to introns. There were no significant differences between the number of haplotypes in radioactive and control populations (p=0.60). Rare or private alleles might have arisen due to unique mutational pressures at Chernobyl. Alternatively, natural selection might have favored one allele over others (i.e., a selective sweep). Neither scenario is strongly supported by these data. Thus, no apparent genetic effects of the Chernobyl disaster on the p53 gene of resident voles were revealed; more extensive surveys will be necessary to determine if mutation rates are indeed elevated in mice from Chernobyl. However, two salient points emerge; the first involves the utility of introns as markers for mutations in coding regions and the second considers the relative merits of cloning in mutation detection studies.

Title: Preliminary evaluation of the impact of the Chernobyl radiological contamination on the frequency of central nervous system malformations in 18 regions of Europe
Reference: Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, Volume 2, Issue 3, pages 253–264, July 1988
DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-3016.1988.tb00216.x
Keywords: human breast milk; Iodine-131; nuclear power plant accident; radioiodine
Abstract: The teratological impact of radiological contamination from the Chernobyl accident was evaluated in relation to central nervous system and eye defects in 18 regional registries in nine countries of Western Europe. Six classes of anomaly were analysed: neural tube defects, arhinencephaly, microcephaly and brain reduction, hydrocephaly, anophthalmos and microphthalmos, and congenital cataract. Conceptions up to 31 August 1986 were grouped into two exposure cohorts. In cohort A the sensitive period of fetal development to radiation fell wholly or partly between 1 May and 30 June 1986. Cohort B included all cases exposed during their sensitive period on or after 1 May 1986. Observed frequencies of the six classes of anomaly in the exposed cohorts were compared with expected frequencies calculated from baseline rates for the period 1980–1985. The only significant increase was neural tube defects in Odense, Denmark (four cases observed in cohort A where 0.9 were expected). The results of the study do not show a general increase in the frequency of malformations in the countries of Western Europe. The evidence presented indicates that, in the regions studied, termination of pregnancies or invasive prenatal diagnostic examinations were not justified for women exposed during pregnancy.

Title:Effects of physical rehabilitation of the liquidators of the Chernobyl accident with chronic pulmonary pathology
Author: CHIKINA S.YU., MESCHERYAKOVA N.N., CHERNYAK A.V., BELEVSKIY A.S., CHUCHALIN A.G.
Reference: Journal of modern clinical medicine. 2008, No.1
Annotation: The influence of physical rehabilitation on the dynamics of functional state of Chernobyl atomic electric station accident liquidators. Physical reabilitation improves tolerance to physical execises, but does”t influence pulmonary function probably because of the fact that special exercises for respiratory muscle weren”t included intothe programm of rehabilitation.
Key words:CHERNOBYL ATOMIC ELECTRIC STATION ACCIDENT LIQUIDATORS , TOLERANCE TO PHYSICAL EXERCISES , RADIONUCLID-INDUCED PNEUMOPATHY

Title: Peculiarities of hemopoiesis in Chernobyl event liquidators who live in the Tomsk region
Author: Porovsky Ya.V., Domnikova R.S., Tetenev F.F.
Reference: Siberian State Medical University
Keywords: Chernobyl event liquidators, peripheral blood, bone marrow.
Abstract: Results of peripheral blood analysis, performed annually during 12—14 years in 83 Chernobyl event liquidators and of the marrow which was analyzed once, at the end of abovementioned period in 23 participants are given. Changes in peripheral blood showed increased number of reticulocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes and decreased number of thrombocytes. Cellular structure of the marrow revealed decreased mean number of myelocytes, basophil and polychromatophil normoblasts and increased number of lymphoid and monocyte population cells. The deflections revealed in the hemopoiesis system may serve as reflection of continuing regeneration processes in the bone marrow and increased amount of somatic pathologies.

Title: Radioactivity in mushrooms, mosses and soil samples of defined biotops in SW Bavaria-two years after “Chernobyl”
Author: E. F. Elstner, Rita Fink, W. Höll, E. Lengfelder, H. Ziegler
Reference:Oecologia, August I 1989, Volume 80, Issue 2, pp 173-177
doi: 10.1007/BF00380147
Keywords : Cesium isotopes, Chernobyl, 40K, Mushrooms
Abstract:Mushrooms, the moos/grass layer and soil samples have been collected in autumn 1987 from two sites in SW-Bavaria in continuation of a former investigation (Elstner et al. 1987). There were still relatively high amounts of 137Cs and 134Cs in all samples. The ratio 137Cs/134Cs changed according to the different half-life times of the two radioisotopes, indicating in nearly all cases the Chernobyl accident as source. The distribution of the radioisotopes within the mushroom populations shows considerable variation, even within the same species and location. Besides 137Cs, 134Cs and 40K no other radioisotopes were detected.
