Keywords: Thyroid follicle;Thyrocyte; Iodine; Kinetic; NanoSIMS50
Abstract: …The objective of this study is to describe the kinetic cellular distribution of newly organified iodine in the thyroid of newborn rats using secondary ion mass microscopy (NanoSIMS50). Ionic images obtained at high mass resolution and with a lateral resolution of about 50 nm show that the early distribution of iodine is heterogeneous from one follicle to another, from one thyrocyte to another inside the same follicle, and that this distribution varies as a function of time. The obtained kinetic profile will allow us to refine the studies concerning the aetiopathology of thyroid cancers of the Chernobyl children.

Title: SUBCHRONIC EXPOSURE OF BALB/C AND C57BL/6 STRAINS OF MUS MUSCULUS TO THE RADIOACTIVE ENVIRONMENT OF THE CHORNOBYL, UKRAINE EXCLUSION ZONE.

DOI: 10.1002/etc.5620201223
Keywords: RADIATION; HEALTH; MICE; BLOOD; NUCLEOLUS; RADIOISOTOPES
Abstract: Environmental contamination resulting from the Chornobyl, Ukraine, disaster offers a unique opportunity to examine the in vivo biological effects of chronic, low-dose exposure to radiation. Laboratory studies of acute exposure to ionizing radiation have been used to estimate risk and potential human health effects by the extrapolation of laboratory data to situations of low-dose environmental radiation exposure. Few studies, however, have explored the biological consequences of low-dose exposure via in situ environmental radiation in a sentinel species. In the present study, laboratory strains of Mus musculus (BALB/c and 57BL/6) were placed in environmental enclosures in the Red Forest region of the Chornobyl exclusion zone.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mrgentox.2004.11.002.
Keywords: Radiation-induced germline microsatellite mutations; Liquidator; Chernobyl; Ionizing radiation
Abstract: We performed a study on Belarusian “liquidators”, exploring whether increase in the frequencies of germline mutations at microsatellite loci could be found in their progeny. The liquidators, mostly young males, were those involved (during 1986 and 1987) in clean-up operations in the radioactively contaminated area following the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident in 1986. Many liquidators fathered children during the clean-up period and after the work had been terminated. The numbers of families studied were 64 (liquidators) and 66 (controls). A total of 72 loci (31 autosomal, one X-linked and 40 Y-linked) were used. DNA was isolated from peripheral blood lymphocytes and the microsatellite loci were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction with fluorescence-labelled primers. Mutations were detected as variations in the length of the loci.
