Abstract: Ten years follow-up investigation of intellectual development of 250 persons from Belarus exposed in utero following the Chernobyl accident and a control group of 250 persons from non- and slightly contaminated regions has been conducted. Neuropsychiatry and psychological examinations were performed among persons of both groups at the age of 6-7, 10-12,and 15-16 years. Mean antenatal internal dose to thyroid arising from the intake of 131I among persons of exposed group is 390±550 mGy (maximal dose – 4100 mGy),in control group – 35±65 mGy. Mean antenatal external dose among persons of exposed group is 10±13 mGy,maximal dose – 91 mGy. At the age of 6-7 years the persons in the exposed group had a mean Full Scale IQ lower than the control group (89.6±10.2 vs 92.1±10.5,p=0.007). At the age of 10-12 years there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (94.3±10.4 vs 95.8±10.9,p=0.117).
Positive dynamics of intellectual development in persons of both groups has been observed up to age of 15-16 years (98.7±10.2 è 99.5±10.5,p=0.171). No statistically significant correlation was found in exposed group between individual thyroid dose as well as individual antenatal external dose and IQ at the different ages. In both groups we notice a positive moderate correlation between IQ of persons and the educational level of their parents. We conclude that probably a significant role in the genesis of borderline intellectual functioning and emotional disorders in the exposed group of persons was played by unfavorable social-psychological and social-cultural factors.

Abstract:Radiological consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl NPP were recently revisited by the UN Chernobyl Forum (2003-2005) and UNSCEAR (2005-2008). For the first time environmental impacts were considered in detail, including radioactive contamination of terrestrial and aquatic environments, application and effectiveness of countermeasures and effects on biota. Updated dosimetric data were presented for more than half a million of emergency and recovery operation workers, about 100 million inhabitants of the three most affected countries, Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine, and for 500 million inhabitants of other European countries. Several hundred of the emergency workers received high radiation doses; of whom 28 persons died in 1986 due to acute radiation sickness. Children at the time of the accident, who drank milk with high levels of radioactive iodine, received high doses to the thyroid. Since early 1990s there was the dramatic increase in thyroid cancer incidence among them. Also in 1990s there was some increase of leukaemia in most exposed workers. The UN Chernobyl Forum concluded that severe social and economic depression of the affected regions and associated psychological problems of the general public and the workers had become the most significant problem. The vast majority of the population need not live in fear of serious health consequences from the Chernobyl accident.

Abstract: Objectives of the study:
- To study the overall health condition of the liquidators of the Chernobyl accident in the 1986-87 and 1988-90 in the long term (after 12-16 years), including the analysis of patterns of disease, and the nature of somatic and neuropsychiatric disease.
- Assess the clinical condition of the thyroid system of the participants of work at Chernobyl in the long term.
- To study the characteristics of the formation of arterial hypertension of the liquidators, the medical display of cardiovascular disease in this population.
- To analyze the dynamics of the state of neuro-psychic sphere of liquidators of the Chernobyl accident in remote period, to identify the relationship thyroid dysfunction and neuropsychiatric status of liquidators.
- To develop an algorithm of actions of the physician in the study of thyroid system of liquidators, management recommendations of this group of patients, and for the correction of violations.
