Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the frequency of neurotic disorders and determine the role of stress-induced endogenous risk factors and their development among the liquidators on the basis of radiation-epidemiological analysis of data from the Russian National Medical and Dosimetric Registry and clinical database of the Medical Radiological Research Center (Russian Academy of Medical Sciences), based on the annual medical monitoring of the liquidators of Obninsk, for targeted improvement of medical and rehabilitation complex.

Abstract: This study examined psychological development in 138 children at the age of 6-7 and 10-11 years, who had suffered prenatal radiation exposure at the time of the Chernobyl accident in 1986. These children were compared to a control group of 122 children of the same age from noncontaminated areas of Belarus. The examination included neurological and psychiatric examination, intellectual assessment, and clinical psychological investigation of parents as well as the estimation of thyroid exposure in utero. The exposed group manifested a relative increase in psychological impairment compared with the control group, with increased prevalence in cases of specific developmental speech-language disorders (18.1% vs. 8.2% at 6-7 years; 10.1% vs. 3.3% at 10-11 years) and emotional disorders (20.3% vs. 7.4% at 6-7 years; 18.1 vs. 7.4% at 10-11 years). The mean IQ of the exposed group was lower than that of the control group, and there were more cases of borderline IQ (IQ = 70-79) (15.9% vs. 5.7% at 6-7 years; and 10.1% vs. 3.3% at 10-11 years). The mean value of thyroid doses from 131I 0.4 Gy was estimated for children exposed in utero. No correlation was found between individual thyroid doses and IQ at age 6-7 years or 10-11 years. We notice a positive moderate correlation between IQ of children and the educational level of their parents. There was a moderate correlation between high personal anxiety in parents and emotional disorders in children. We conclude that a significant role in the genesis of borderline intellectual functioning, specific developmental disorders of speech, language and scholastic skills, as well as emotional disorders in the exposed group of children was played by unfavourable social-psychological and social-cultural factors such as a low educational level of parents, the break of microsocial contacts, and adaptational difficulties, which appear following the evacuation and relocation from the contaminated areas.

Keywords: liquidator, higher mental function, latent period
Abstract: Oddball paradigm auditory analysis is implemented on 10 liquidators (average age: 50.5 ± 4.0) and 10 healthy individuals (47.0 ± 6.0). Neuropsychological examination revealed violations of higher mental functions in liquidators such as aspontaneity, exhaustion, decreased auditory-verbal and visual memory, and deficits of higher motor functions (skills).
