Keywords: interhemispheric brain asymmetry, psychopathology, ionizing radiation, Chernobyl accident, neurophysiology, neuropsychology, ultrasonic dopplerography, magnetic resonance imaging
Abstract: The goal of the study was to recognize the interhemispheric asymmetry effects in appearance of psychopathology in Chernobyl accident’s survivors. Psychometric, neurophysiological, neuropsychological methods were used for assessment of the persons who had been diagnosed with Acute Radiation Sickness (ARS), clean-up workers (liquidators), prenatally exposed children, and relevant comparison and control groups. Also the ultrasonic dopplerography and magnetic resonance imaging with their qualitative and quantitative estimations were done. It was revealed that the damage of the left, dominant, hemisphere is characteristic for the ARS-patients, liquidators exposed to more than 0.3 Sv and prenatally exposed children. The structural and functional features of radiation brain damage consists of the reduction of the systolic circulation in the left internal carotid artery, pathology of cerebral cortex, subcortical structures, neuronal pathways and cortical-limbic system of the dominant hemisphere. This cerebral pathology is the cause of negative psychopathological symptoms, cognitive disorders, depression, and personality changes that are typical in remote period of Chernobyl accident for the liquidators exposed to more than 0.3 Sv and prenatally exposed children.

Keywords: prenatal acute exposure, mental disorder
Abstract: On the basis of clinical and psychophysical studies of dosimetric accompaniment of representative sample of children, who have suffered acute fetal irradiation (born between 26 April 1986 and 26 February 1987 from pregnant women evacuated from Pripyat to Kiev after the Chernobyl disaster), with a parallel population control (Kiev 50 children), we found radio-cerebral effects. Features comprehensive clinical and psychophysiological characteristic, developed diagnostic criteria of mental disorders, as a result of prenatal exposure and established risk factors affecting intellectual development, clinical and physiological state of these children etc.

Keywords: neuropsychiatric disorders, rehabilitation, society
Abstract: Based on the analysis and synthesis of the results of our prospective study of neuropsychiatric disorders in victims of the Chernobyl disaster, we developed a model of mental health and approaches to psycho-rehabilitation in the structure of preparedness for radiological emergencies. The mental health of the victims should be the focus of public attention regarding possible radiation accidents or radiological terrorist attacks in the future.

Keywords: uranium, transuranium elements, neurotoxicity, radiotoxicity, Shelter Object
Abstract: Physical-chemical properties, prevalence, using, and neuropsychiatric effects of uranium, including depleted uranium, and transuranium elements (mainly, plutonium and americium) are discussed in the article. It is shown the increasing role of these elements in connection with Chernobyl accident and the Shelter Object transformation to an ecologically safety system. In accordance to the recent data on neurotoxicity of uranium it is supposed the same toxicity for the transuranium elements. The neurophysiological examinations of the Shelter Object personnel have revealed the disorders of cerebral bioelectrical activity to be the basis for neuropsychiatric pathology development. Exposure to low and very low doses of ionizing radiation, neurotoxicity of uranium and transuranium elements, stress, as well as other non-radiation industrial hazards were assumed to be proposed as the possible risk factors. The study of biological effects of uranium and transuranium elements are crucial for radiobiology, radiation hygiene and neuropsychiatry. It is necessary to conduct large-scale studies in this field. The Shelter Object transformation to an ecologically safety system is the unique possibility to study of radiotoxical effects of uranium and transuranium elements on the human body.
