Keywords: children, incidence of non-cancer thyroid diseases, irradiation in utero, technogenic iodine-131, cohort study

Abstract: The results of investigation of non-cancer thyroid diseases incidence rates, relative risks and etio-logic fractions by cohort study at 420 children from southwest region of the Kaluga oblast for the 12-year’s period after irradiation in utero on various terms of gestation at the expense of the technogenic iodine-131 incorporation are presented. Also 150 not exposed children as the control group was observed. It was established that incidence rates of thyroid diseases in the children irradiated in utero was at 2.6 times more than in the control group. The incidence of thyroid diseases among the children irradiated in utero was depended on the period of gestation at which irradiation was occurred. The highest level of the thyroid diseases incidence rate was in two subgroups of irradiated children: in the first subgroup every member was irradiated at the expense of iodine-131 from 4-th to 12-th week of gestation, in the second subgroup – from 16-th to 22-th week of gestation. It is known from radiobiological investigations that at these periods of gestation thyroid of foetus intensively accumulates radioactive iodine.

Keywords: children, in utero exposure to radiation, pollution of territories by iodine-131 and caesium-137, iodine supplementation, thyroid diseases incidence.

Abstract: Incidence of non-cancer thyroid diseases among prepubertal children exposed to radiation from Chernobyl in utero and resided in Zhizdra, Ulyanovo and Khvastovichi rayons of Kaluga oblast with different level of radioactive contamination was studied. It was shown that the rate of thyroid diseases incidence depended on natural iodine insufficiency in the areas of residence and radioiodine dose. The relative contribution of each of these factors can be estimated by difference between the incidence rate in exposed and unexposed children of the same age and the same area of residence.

Keywords:EEG patterns, children, mothers, WISC

Abstract: One hundred children, exposed prenatally to radiation after the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident, and 50 non-exposed classmates were examined between the ages of 11 and 13 years old using neuropsychiatric tests, WISC, EEG, and visual evoked potentials. Individual prenatal radiation doses were reconstructed for all examined children. The exposed children were found to have more neuropsychiatric disorders, left-brain neurological signs, lower full-scale and verbal IQ, IQ discrepancies with verbal decrement, disorganized EEG patterns, an excess of lateralized-to-left frontotemporal region delta and beta power with depression of theta and alpha power, and interhemispheric inversion visual information processing. Mothers’ mental health, stress, and prenatal irradiation contributed to these effects, along with several confounding factors. (full text in English available on web.)

Keywords: THYROID,   RADIOGENIC AND SPORADIC PAPILLARY CARCINOMA,   CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS,   CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT

Abstract: Purpose: To elaborate comparative morphological analysis of radiogenic and sporadic papillary thyroid carcinoma in children and adolescents bom before and after Chernobyl accident and living in the radionuclide contaminated regions of the Russian Federation. Material and methods: Histological sections of papillary carcinoma and medical records from I8O children (under 15 years old) and adolescents (from 15 to 19 years) living in Bryansk, Kaluga, Oryol and Tula regions of Russia have been examined. The first group of radiogenic cancer cases includes 130 patients whose thyroid might be exposed after the accident. The second group of sporadic tumors includes 50 patients bom since the end of January 19S7 and whose thyroid exposure to radioiodine becomes negligible. A comparison between two groups via prevalence of different histological types of papillary carcinoma and other morphological features of tumor growth has been performed. Results;The male/female ratio in the first group is 1/1.5 comparing to the second group where it is 1/3.2. The average size of tumors in the first group is higher than that in the second one (14.6+1.0 mm vs. 11.4+0.8 mm), but difference is not quite significant (p-0.06). The differences between higher extent of tumor stromal fibrosis (52.3 %) and extent of cxtrathyroid invasion (23.8 %) of tumors in the first group comparing to the second group (28.0 % and 8.0 % respectively) are statistically significant (p<0.01 and р=0.02 respectively). No differences ‘between two groups have been revealed in the prevalence of various histological types of papillary carcinoma. Conclusion: Radiogenic and sporadic papillary carcinomas have no specific types of histological architecture (histological variants). Twо groups differ from each other by the male/female ratio (females are significantly prevailing in the sporadic group), as well as by the extent of stromal fibrotic response and extent of extrathyroid invasive growth that could be revealed more often in the group of radiogenic papillary thyroid carcinomas.
