Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically review and perform a meta-analysis of radiation associated risks of cardiovascular disease in all groups exposed to radiation with individual radiation dose estimates. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Excess relative risk per unit dose (Gy), estimated by restricted maximum likelihood methods. DATA SOURCES PubMed and Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science Core collection databases. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SELECTING STUDIES Databases were searched on 6 October 2022, with no limits on date of publication or language. Animal studies and studies without an abstract were excluded. RESULTS The meta-analysis yielded 93 relevant studies. Relative risk per Gy increased for all cardiovascular disease (excess relative risk per Gy of 0.11 (95% confidence interval 0.08 to 0.14)) and for the four major subtypes of cardiovascular disease (ischaemic heart disease, other heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, all other cardiovascular disease). However, interstudy heterogeneity was noted (P<0.05 for all endpoints except for other heart disease), possibly resulting from interstudy variation in unmeasured confounders or effect modifiers, which is markedly reduced if attention is restricted to higher quality studies or those at moderate doses (<0.5 Gy) or low dose rates (<5 mGy/h). For ischaemic heart disease and all cardiovascular disease, risks were larger per unit dose for lower dose (inverse dose effect) and for fractionated exposures (inverse dose fractionation effect). Population based excess absolute risks are estimated for a number of national populations (Canada, England and Wales, France, Germany, Japan, USA) and range from 2.33% per Gy (95% confidence interval 1.69% to 2.98%) for England and Wales to 3.66% per Gy (2.65% to 4.68%) for Germany, largely reflecting the underlying rates of cardiovascular disease mortality in these populations. Estimated risk of mortality from cardiovascular disease are generally dominated by cerebrovascular disease (around 0.94-1.26% per Gy), with the next largest contribution from ischaemic heart disease (around 0.30-1.20% per Gy). CONCLUSIONS Results provide evidence supporting a causal association between radiation exposure and cardiovascular disease at high dose, and to a lesser extent at low dose, with some indications of differences in risk between acute and chronic exposures, which require further investigation. The observed heterogeneity complicates a causal interpretation of these findings, although this heterogeneity is much reduced if only higher quality studies or those at moderate doses or low dose rates are considered. Studies are needed to assess in more detail modifications of radiation effect by lifestyle and medical risk factors. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO CRD42020202036.

Abstract
New high-entropy layered rare earth hydroxides ─ (Y,Eu,Gd,Er,Sm)2(OH)5NO3, (Y,Eu,Gd,Er,Tb)2(OH)5NO3, (Y,Eu,Gd,Er,Yb)2(OH)5NO3, (Y,Eu,Gd,Er,Nd)2(OH)5NO3, and (Y,Eu,Gd,Er,Nd,Sm,Tb)2(OH)5NO3 ─ were obtained using a hydrothermal microwave method. The annealing of layered rare earth hydroxides at 900 °C resulted in the corresponding high-entropy rare earth oxides. Based on inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy data, the values for configurational entropy for both rare earth hydroxides and oxides were estimated, confirming the formation of high-entropy compounds. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping, including mapping in the scanning transmission microscopy mode, showed no signs of chemical segregation and confirmed uniform rare earth elements' distribution both in the particles of high-entropy layered basic nitrates and in the particles of high-entropy oxides. The ratios of rare earth cations in the initial aqueous solutions of mixed nitrates were close to the ratios of cations in the resulting high-entropy layered rare earth basic nitrates and high-entropy rare earth oxides.

Abstract
The major challenge in optical ceramic technology is the quality of the starting precursor powder for pressing, which is a key element in the optical ceramic industry. One express and helpful technique for the estimation of powder quality is the estimation of the quantum yield of up-conversion luminescence; therefore precursor powders must exhibit high values of up-conversion luminescence efficiency. Single-phase solid solutions based on strontium fluoride doped with ytterbium and erbium were synthesised by co-precipitation from aqueous solutions using sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride and ammonium fluoride as fluorinating agents. The asymmetry of X-ray diffraction maxima indicated the presence of two populations of particles with the same chemical composition. The processes of extended flat particles' growth from smaller particles with a spherical morphology were revealed with transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. It was shown that when sodium fluoride and potassium fluoride were used they entered the crystal structure in an amount of 3-4 mol% and 1 mol%, respectively. The introduction of sodium and potassium led to an improvement in the sintering ability of particles and a significant increase in the particle size in ceramics by a factor of 5 and 2, respectively, in comparison with the use of ammonium fluoride. The quantum yield values of up-conversion luminescence at the level of tenths of a percent at a low pump power density of 0.1 W cm-2 were very high, which suggests that these synthetic techniques can be considered to be promising for the preparation of precursors of laser ceramics.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The radiological hazard of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste slows down further development of nuclear energy systems. The authors evaluate timescales required to reduce the radiological hazard of accumulated waste to the reference level of natural uranium that had been consumed by the nuclear energy system. The estimate of this time scale depends on the radiological hazard metric used in the calculations. In this study, two metrics are compared: (1) the committed effective dose based on ICRP Publication 72 and (2) the lifetime radiation risk calculated with use of organ doses and recent radiation risk models recommended by ICRP. The effective dose of the waste reaches the reference level 300 y after the accumulation of waste, while lifetime attributable risk of waste converges to natural uranium in 100 y. Thus, the lifetime attributable risk (LAR) metric is more appropriate to estimate the time requirements for radioactive waste storage and disposal. The effective dose metric significantly overestimates this timescale as it is not intended for quantifying radiation-related risks.

Abstract
This paper reports on a comprehensive study of the UV-shielding properties (namely, the sun protection factor and the factor of protection against UV-A radiation) and cytotoxicity (including photocytotoxicity) of amorphous and crystalline cerium(IV) phosphates. It has been shown that cerium(IV) phosphate NH4Ce2(PO4)3 is characterised by UV-shielding properties that are comparable to those of nanocrystalline TiO2 and CeO2. Moreover, cerium(IV) phosphates did not show toxicity towards cell cultures of NCTC L929 line mouse fibroblasts and human mesenchymal stem cells, in a wide range of concentrations, and even enhanced the proliferative activity of the latter. In a model study of the photoprotective properties of cerium(IV) phosphates on human mesenchymal stem cells, the pronounced protective effect of NH4Ce2(PO4)3 was observed, which was comparable to the shielding action of nanocrystalline CeO2. The results have shown that tetravalent cerium phosphates can be considered as promising UV-filters for sunscreen applications.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The paper is concerned with the issue of achieving the radiological equivalence (the equivalence of radiation risks) of radioactive waste of nuclear reactors and corresponding mass of natural uranium, taking into account the different migration ability of radionuclides in geological formations and soil. This migration radiological equivalence is being investigated for the deep burial of radioactive waste in the case of the development of a two-component nuclear power system with the concurrent use of thermal neutron reactors and fast neutron reactors. Calculations were performed of radiation doses and radiation risks of cancer death arising from consumption of drinking water from a well above a disposal site. The radiation risk relating to a two-component nuclear power system is lower than that from natural uranium; i.e., after reaching the radiological equivalence (100 y of storage) over the timescale of 109 y, the principle of migration radiological equivalence is satisfied. It would take 106 y after radioactive waste disposal to reach the migration radiological equivalence if only thermal reactors were operated. As regards consumption of well drinking water, the radiation risk does not exceed 10-5 y-1 for a two-component nuclear power system, while being 10-3 y-1 (socially unacceptable level) for a power system using only thermal reactors. Radionuclides 241Am, 239Pu, and 240Pu in drinking water make the main contribution to the doses and radiation risks of people for 104 y after the disposal of radioactive waste.

Abstract
Gd-based complexes are widely used as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. The safety of previously approved contrast agents is questionable and is being re-assessed. The main causes of concern are possible gadolinium deposition in the brain and the development of systemic nephrogenic fibrosis after repeated use of MRI contrasts. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop a new generation of MRI contrasts that are safe and that have high selectivity in tissue accumulation with improved local contrast. Here, we report on a new type of theranostic MRI contrast, namely dextran stabilised, gadolinium doped cerium dioxide nanoparticles. These ultra-small (4-6 nm) Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 nanoparticles have been shown to possess excellent colloidal stability and high r1-relaxivity (3.6 mM-1 s-1). They are effectively internalised by human normal and cancer cells and demonstrate dose-dependent selective cytotoxicity to cancer cells.

Abstract
Radiation-induced risks for all solid cancer incidence and mortality were studied in the cohort of Russian Chernobyl emergency workers. The cohort included 69,440 persons with documented individual radiation dose accrued over the time of working in the Chernobyl zone. The mean age at entry into the zone of recovery operations was 33.9 years and accumulated radiation dose was 132.9 mGy. A total of 6981 solid cancer incident cases and 4272 deaths occurred in this cohort from 1992 to 2017. Three follow-up periods were studied: 1992-2009, 1992-2013, and 1992-2017. For each follow-up period, the lowest dose range with statistically significant (p < 0.05) radiation-induced risk of all solid cancer incidence and mortality were obtained. For the incidence of all solid cancer during the follow-up period 1992-2009, this lowest dose range was estimated to be 0-250 mGy with an excess relative risk per dose of ERR Gy-1 = 0.51 and 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.02; 1.05) Gy-1. For the period 1992-2013, the lowest dose range was 0-175 mGy with ERR Gy-1 = 0.85 (95% CI 0.03; 1.78), while for the whole follow-up period 1992-2017, it was 0-175 mGy with ERR Gy-1 = 0.81 (95% CI 0.08; 1.62). For mortality from all solid cancers during the follow-up period 1992-2009, the lowest dose range with statistically significant radiation-induced risk was estimated to be 0-225 mGy with ERR Gy-1 = 1.07 (95% CI 0.31; 0.97). For the period 1992-2013, the lowest dose range was 0-225 mGy with ERR Gy-1 = 0.86 (95% CI 0.23; 1.58), while for the whole follow-up period 1992-2017, the lowest dose range was 0-200 mGy with ERR Gy-1 = 0.82 (95% CI 0.10; 1.65). Thus, it was found that the minimal level of significant exposure (Dmin), for which a statistically significant radiation-induced risk of all solid cancers was obtained for Russian emergency workers (with individual doses of 0 - Dmin), decreases with increasing duration of cohort observation, both for cancer incidence and mortality.

Abstract
Planarian freshwater flatworms have the unique ability to regenerate due to stem cell activity. The process of regeneration is extremely sensitive to various factors, including light radiation. Here, the effect of low-intensity LED light of different wavelengths on regeneration, stem cell proliferation and gene expression associated with these processes was studied. LED matrices with different wavelengths (red (λmax = 635 nm), green (λmax = 520 nm) and blue (λmax = 463 nm), as well as LED laser diodes (red (λmax = 638.5 nm), green (λmax = 533 nm) and blue (λmax = 420 nm), were used in the experiments. Computer-assisted morphometry, whole-mount immunocytochemical study and RT-PCR were used to analyze the biological effects of LED light exposure on the planarian regeneration in vivo. It was found that a one-time exposure of regenerating planarians with low-intensity red light diodes stimulated head blastema growth in a dose-dependent manner (up to 40%). The green light exposure of planarians resulted in the opposite effect, showing a reduced head blastema growth rate by up to 21%. The blue light exposure did not lead to any changes in the rate of head blastema growth. The maximum effects of light exposure were observed at a dose of 175.2 mJ/cm2. No significant differences were revealed in the dynamics of neoblasts' (planarian stem cells) proliferation under red and green light exposure. However, the RT-PCR gene expression analysis of 46 wound-induced genes revealed their up-regulation upon red LED light exposure, and down-regulation upon green light exposure. Thus, we have demonstrated that the planarian regeneration process is rather sensitive to the effects of low-intensity light radiation of certain wavelengths, the biological activity of red and green light being dictated by the different expression of the genes regulating transcriptional activity.

Abstract
The article describes the activities of the Russian National Radiation-Epidemiological Registry (NRER) as the unified federal information system for research and management of individual medical and dosimetry data of people exposed to radiation as a result of the Chernobyl accident and other radiological events. The NRER was created for long-term registration of lifetime changes in the health status of the registered people. We present medical and dosimetry data management process, which is carried out in compliance with approved protocols. The scope and content of the information to be collected from external resources are defined in the documents approved by the Russian Ministry of Health. As of 2017 reporting year, the NRER contains medical and dosimetry information on 205 044 clean-up workers of the Chernobyl accident (liquidators), collected during the follow-up period from 1986 to 2016. Using special software for management of data from long-term studies of the Russian cohort of Chernobyl liquidators NRER ensures high quality of radiation-epidemiological information. The results of research activities of the NRER make great contribution to understanding biological and health effects of low-level radiation, molecular mechanisms of the effects, development of actions to early diagnostic of radiation-related diseases to respond to the needs of the affected population while minimizing unnecessary anxiety, improvement of targeting treatments delivery to exposed people at high risk, development of measures to reduce health risks from medical radiological procedures. During the post-Chernobyl period, new methods for estimating radiation doses were developed, some of them can be used for express estimation of radiation dose in the event of radiological emergency.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles, obtained using the sol-gel method and modified with organic solvents, such as acetone, acetonitrile, benzene, diethyl ether, dimethyl sulfoxide, toluene, and chloroform, were used as the filler of polydimethylsiloxane-based electrorheological fluids. The effect of electric field strength on the shear stress and yield stress of electrorheological fluids was investigated, as well as the spectra of their dielectric relaxation in the frequency range from 25 to 106 Hz. Modification of titanium dioxide by polar molecules was found to enhance the electrorheological effect, as compared with unmodified TiO2, in accordance with the widely accepted concept of polar molecule dominated electrorheological effect (PM-ER). The most unexpected result of this study was an increase in the electrorheological effect during the application of nonpolar solvents with zero or near-zero dipole moments as the modifiers. It is suggested that nonpolar solvents, besides providing additional polarization effects at the filler particles interface, alter the internal pressure in the gaps between the particles. As a result, the filler particles are attracted to one another, leading to an increase in their aggregation and the formation of a network of bonds between the particles through liquid bridge contacts. Such changes in the electrorheological fluid structure result in a significant increase in the mechanical strength of the structures that arise when an electric field is applied, and an increase in the observed electrorheological effect in comparison with the unmodified titanium dioxide.

Abstract
This paper continues a series of publications that analyze the impact of radiation on incidence of circulatory system diseases in the cohort of Russian recovery operation workers (liquidators) and presents the results of the analysis of cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence. The studied cohort consists of 53,772 liquidators who arrived in the Chernobyl accident zone within the first year after the accident (26 April 1986 to 26 April 1987). The individual doses varied from 0.0001 Gy to 1.42 Gy, and the mean external whole body dose in the cohort was 0.161 Gy. A total of 27,456 cases of CVD were diagnosed during the follow-up period 1986-2012 as a result of annual health examinations. A Poisson regression model was applied to estimate radiation risks and other risk factors associated with CVD. The following factors were identified as risk factors for CVD: the dose, duration of the liquidators' work in the Chernobyl zone, and concomitant diseases (diabetes mellitus, hypertension, overweight, and alcohol dependence). The baseline incidence of CVD is statistically significantly (p < 0.001) associated with all studied concomitant diseases. The incidence of CVD has revealed a statistically significant dose response with the lack of a latent period and with the average ERR Gy = 0.47, 95% CI = 0.31, 0.63, p < 0.001. Radiation risks of CVD statistically significantly (p = 0.01) varied with the duration of liquidators' stay in the Chernobyl zone; for those who stayed in the Chernobyl zone less than 6 wk, ERR/Gy = 0.80, 95% CI = 0.53; 1.08, p < 0.001.

Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of the incidence of cerebrovascular diseases (CeVD) in the cohort of Russian workers involved in recovery tasks after the Chernobyl accident. The studied cohort consists of 53,772 recovery operation workers (liquidators) who arrived in the zone of the Chernobyl accident within the first year after this accident (26 April 1986-26 April 1987). The mean external whole body dose in the cohort was 0.161 Gy, while individual doses varied from 0.0001 Gy to 1.42 Gy. During the follow-up period 1986-2012, a total of 23,264 cases of CeVD were diagnosed as a result of annual health examinations. A Poisson regression model was applied for estimation of radiation risks and for an assessment of other risk factors of CeVD. The following factors were considered as risk factors for CeVD: the dose, duration of the liquidators' work in the Chernobyl zone, and the concomitant diseases (hypertension, ischemic heart disease, atherosclerosis, and diabetes). The baseline incidence of CeVD is statistically significantly (p < 0.001) associated with all studied concomitant diseases. The incidence of CeVD has revealed a statistically significant dose response with the lack of a latent period and with the average ERR/Gy = 0.45, 95% CI: (0.28, 0.62), p < 0.001. Radiation risks of CeVD statistically significantly (p = 0.03) varied with the duration of liquidators' stay in the Chernobyl zone; for those who stayed in the Chernobyl zone less than 6 wk, ERR/Gy = 0.64, 95% CI = (0.38; 0.93), p < 0.001. Among studied concomitant diseases, diabetes mellitus statistically significantly (p = 0.002) increases the radiation risk of CeVD: for liquidators with diagnosed diabetes, ERR/Gy = 1.29.

Abstract
Analysis of the relationship between dose and mortality from cancer and circulation diseases in the cohort of Chernobyl clean-up workers based on the data from the National Radiation and Epidemiological Registry was performed. Medical and dosimetry information on the clean-up workers, males, who got radiation doses from April 26, 1986 to April 26, 1987, which was accumulated from 1992 to 2012, was used for the analysis. The total size of the cohort was 42929 people, 12731 deaths were registered in the cohort, among them 1893 deaths from solid cancers and 5230 deaths were from circulation diseases. An average age of the workers was 39 years in 1992 and the mean dose was 164 mGy. The dose-effect relationship was estimated with the use of non-parametric analysis of survival with regard to concurrence of risks of mortality. The risks were estimated in 6 dose groups of similar size (1-70, 70-130, 130-190, 190-210, 210-230 and.230-1000 mGy). The group "1-70 mGy" was used as control. Estimated dose-effect relationship related to cancers and circulation diseases is described approximately with a linear model, coefficient of determination (the proportion of variability explained by the linear model) for cancers was 23-25% and for circulation diseases - 2-13%. The slope coefficient of the dose-effect relationship normalized to 1 Gy for the ratio of risks for cancers in the linear model was 0.47 (95% CI: -0.77, 1.71), and for circulation diseases it was 0.22 (95% CI: -0.58, 1.02). Risks coefficient (slope coefficient of excess mortality at a dose of 1 Gy) for solid cancers was 1.94 (95% CI: - 3.10, 7.00) x 10(-2) and for circulation diseases it was 0.67 (95% CI: -9.61, 11.00) x 10(-2). 137 deaths from radiation-induced cancers and 47 deaths from circulation diseases were registered during a follow up period.

Abstract
A great enhancement in Raman scattering (SERS) from heme-containing submembrane biomolecules inside intact erythrocytes and functional mitochondria is demonstrated for the first time using silver-silica beads prepared using a new method involving aerosol pyrolysis with aqueous diamminesilver(i) hydroxide as a unique source of plasmonic nanoparticles for SiO2 microspheres. The recorded SERS spectra reveal a set of characteristic peaks at 750, 1127, 1170, 1371, 1565, 1585 and 1638 cm-1, resulting from the normal group vibrations of the pyrrole rings, methine bridges and side radicals in the heme molecules. The SERS spectra of functional mitochondria are sensitive to the activity of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, thus making the method a novel label-free approach to monitor the redox state and conformation of cytochromes in their natural cell environment. The developed nanocomposites are highly suitable for the analysis of biological objects due to their robust synthesis and superior spatial and temporal signal reproducibility, which was preserved for a period of at least one year.

Abstract
Nanocomposite dermal drug delivery systems based on cellulose nanofibers with grafted titania nanoparticles loaded by two antibiotic medicines from different classes, i.e. tetracycline (TC) and phosphomycin (Phos), were successfully produced by a "green chemistry" approach in aqueous media. The influence of a different surface binding mechanism between the drug molecule and modified cellulose nanofibers on the release of the drug and, as a result, on antimicrobial properties against common pathogens Gram-positive, Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli was investigated. The disk diffusion method and broth culture tests using varying concentrations of drugs loaded to nanocomposites were carried out to investigate the antibacterial effects. The influence of UV irradiation on the stability of the obtained nanocomposites and their antibacterial properties after irradiation were also investigated, showing enhanced stability especially for the TC loaded materials. These findings suggest that the obtained nanocomposites are promising materials for the development of potentially useful antimicrobial patches.

Abstract
In the present work, we have studied for the first time the combined effect of both sonication and precipitation pH on the structure of amorphous zirconia gels synthesized from zirconium(IV) propoxide. The techniques of small-angle neutron and X-ray scattering (SANS and SAXS) and low temperature nitrogen adsorption provided the integral data on the changes in the microstructure and mesostructure of these materials caused by ultrasonic (US) treatment. Amorphous ZrO2·xH2O synthesized under ultrasonic treatment was found to possess a very structured surface, characterized by the surface fractal dimension 2.9-3.0, compared to 2.3-2.5 for the non US-assisted synthesis, and it was also found to possess a higher specific surface area, while the sizes of the primary particles remain unchanged.

Abstract
This paper presents the results of a retrospective cohort study of cancer incidence and mortality among emergency workers of the Chernobyl accident, for the follow-up period 1992-2009. The cohort selected for analysis consists of 67,568 emergency workers who worked in the Chernobyl exclusion zone in 1986-1987. External radiation whole-body absorbed dose varied from 0.0001 gray (Gy) to 1.24 Gy, with a median of 0.102 Gy. Over the follow-up period 1992-2009, a total of 4,002 solid cancers of different sites were identified as the result of annual compulsory health examination, and a total of 2,442 deaths from all solid cancers in the study cohort were reported. Poisson regression was applied for the analysis of cancer incidence and mortality. The analysis of the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) has shown a statistically significant increase in cancer incidence in the cohort as compared with baseline cancer incidence among males of Russia. The average excess over the entire follow-up period is 18 % [SIR = 1.18, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.15; 1.22]. In contrast, however, no increase in the mortality from all cancers among the emergency workers as compared to the baseline mortality in Russian men was found. Values of excess relative risk of cancer incidence and mortality per 1 Gy (ERR Gy(-1)) are 0.47 (95 % CI 0.03; 0.96, p value = 0.034) and 0.58 (95 % CI 0.002; 1.25, p value = 0.049), respectively. These values are statistically significant.

Abstract
Multiple CT scans are often done on the same patient resulting in an increased risk of cancer. Prior publications have estimated risks on a population basis and often using an effective dose. Simply adding up the risks from single scans does not correctly account for the survival function. A methodology for estimating personal radiation risks attributed to multiple CT imaging using organ doses is presented in this article. The estimated magnitude of the attributable risk fraction for the possible development of radiation-induced cancer indicates the necessity for strong clinical justification when ordering multiple CT scans.

Abstract
Interrelationship between dielectric parameters and level of ATPH before and during ischemia, as well as with indices of survival after elimination of strangulation, was estimated on a simulation model of strangulation ileus in rats. The data obtained permit to suppose, that parameter tg δm may be used as effective noninvasive criterion of diagnosis in real time for estimation of the intestinal wall state in strangulation. Resection of the infringed intestine without elimination of strangulation is necessary in tg δm less than 2.20, in tg δm more than 2.36 the elimination of infringement is indicated, because there exist possibility to restore intestinal function after ischemic-reperfusion injury. Tactics of treatment in intermediate meanings of tg δm is not determined, but its measurement before reperfusion may help in estimation of a small intestine viability and choice of surgical tactics in its ischemia.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of nanocrystalline cerium dioxide on parameters of spontaneous and stimulated motility of the stomach and colon in rats. It was found that administration of nanocrystalline cerium dioxide for 10 days increased the amplitude of contractions of stimulated motility in the stomach by 33.0 +/- 2.4% and the frequency of contractions of the colon by 80.3 +/- 7.5%. In this group, the introduction of carbachol also increased the frequency of the contractions by 274.0 +/- 22.9%, compared to the control group. The administration of nanocrystalline cerium dioxide increased the index of motor activity of spontaneous and stimulated motility of the stomach by 19.8 +/- 1.4 and 14.5 +/- 9.0%, respectively. In the colon, the motor activity increased by 14.3 +/- 1.1 and 11.1 +/- 0.8%, respectively. We also found that the nanocrystalline cerium dioxide rebuilt morphological condition of the mucous of the colon.

Abstract
Results of epidemiological studies of thyroid cancer incidence in Russia following the Chernobyl accident are presented in the article. Child population in territories contaminated with radionuclides who got thyroid dose from incorporated (131)I above 100-150 mGy, should be referred to a group at radiation risk. Prognostic estimates of increase in thyroid cancer incidence among the population living in close vicinity of the Fukushima Daiichi NPP were made with account for the Chernobyl data and recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection.

Abstract
The authors compare radiation risks of potential cancer following diagnostic radiation exposure evaluated with the use of organ and effective doses. Lifetime attributable risk values of CT scanning are estimated with the use of ICRP (Publication 103) risk models and Russian national medical statistics data. For populations under the age of 50, the risk evaluated using organ doses usually differs from that using effective doses by <30 %. In older populations, the difference can be up to a factor of 3. Calculated values of lifetime attributable cancer risk for particular organs are presented as well.

Abstract
The efficiency of a novel class of biosynthetic wound dressings in wich natural and synthetic polymeric components are not arranged in layers but are in a unified structure, i. e., form a new composite material, has been studied. In particular, we tried to determine whether the interactions of dressing surface with cells of the injured tissue and/or culture grown in vitro depend on the microstructure of the surface. The efficiency of cell growth was considered in terms of the stimulation of cell growth. The microstructure of the surface was examined using the scanning electron microscopy at high resolution. The results of the study have shown that the structure of biosynthetic dressings depends on the variations in the composition and the ratio of the components. The role of the microstructure of the dressing in the effectiveness has been demonstrated. The factors which have the most significant effect on the regenerating properties of the wound dressings have been revealed.

Abstract
Because of fast growing medical radiation use, estimating possible late health effects of radiation, including potential cancer risk, is an issue of substantial interest. Since physicians make the decision to order or perform a radiological procedure, it is very important to provide them with objective information about possible radiation-associated risks. Methodology for estimating cancer risks based on recommendations of ICRP Publication 103 is presented in the paper. Organ doses, age, and gender are used as basic parameters. An example of the evaluation of radiation-associated risks from computed tomography examination is presented.

Abstract
The paper discusses technology for establishing potential cancer risk groups, based on methods of molecular and radiation epidemiology. Assay of gene mutations at the T-cell receptor (TCR) locus as the method of molecular epidemiology was used for measuring the frequency of TCR-mutations in 320 nuclear workers of the Institute of Physics and Power Engineering (IPPE). The method of radiation epidemiology was applied to the estimation of attributable risk fraction (ARF) for solid cancers in these groups. The main estimates of radiation risk after the Chernobyl accident are in close agreement with the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication, 103 models published in 2007. In nuclear workers of the IPPE with ARF ≥ 10%, the increased level of TCR-mutations occurs more often (risk ratio=9.7; 95% CI: 2.9; 32.1).

Abstract
This study presents an analysis of the thyroid cancer incidence in the population of the most contaminated territories of Bryansk, Kaluga, Oryol and Tula oblasts affected by the Chernobyl accident. The follow-up period is 1991-2008, and the cohort size is 309 130 people. For that period 978 thyroid cancer cases were detected. The excess relative risk per 1 Gy (ERR/Gy) is found to be statistically significant for children and adolescents (0-17 y of age) at the time of the Chernobyl accident (ERR/Gy=3.22; 95 % confidence interval (1.56; 5.81). In boys, the ERR/Gy was higher than in girls -6.54 and 2.24, respectively. A statistically significant decrease in ERR/Gy with time since exposure, by a factor of 0.37 per 10 y, was observed for the whole cohort and for boys separately, but not for girls. No radiation risks of a thyroid cancer among people of 18 y of age at exposure and older were found.

Abstract
Of all potentially radiogenic cancers, leukemia, a type of cancer of the blood, has the highest risk attributable to ionizing radiation. Despite this, the quantitative estimation of radiation risk of a leukemia demands studying very large exposed cohorts, because of the very low level of this disease in unexposed populations and because of the tendency for its radiation risk to decrease with time. At present, the Japanese cohort of atomic bomb survivors is still the primary source of data that allows analysis of radiation-induced leukemia and the underlying dose-response relationship. The second large cohort that would allow to study radiation-induced leukemia is comprised of individuals who were exposed due to the accident of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986. The objective of the present study was to estimate radiation risks of leukemia incidence among the Russian cohort of Chernobyl emergency workers, for different time periods after the accident. Twenty-five years after the Chernobyl accident and based on the results of the present study, one can conclude that the radiation risk of leukemia incidence derived from the Russian cohort of Chernobyl emergency workers is similar to that derived from the cohort of atomic bomb survivors: The time-averaged excess relative risk per Gray (ERR Gy(-1)) equals 4.98 for the Russian cohort and 3.9 for the life span study (LSS) cohort; excess absolute risk decreases with time after exposure at an annual rate of 9% for the Russian cohort, and of 6.5% for the LSS cohort. Thus, the excess in risk of leukemia incidence in a population due to a single exposure is restricted in time after exposure by the period of about 15 years.

Abstract
Dynamics of the mortality and the mortality radiation risks among male emergency workers of 1986-1987 years of entrance to the Chernobyl zone is analyzed. The average dose of external gamma-exposure for this cohort equals 128 mGy. The size of the cohort at the beginning of the follow-up in 1992 was 47820 persons. For the follow-up period 1992-2006 statistically significant radiation risks of death rates have been estimated: for the mortality from all causes, the excess relative risk per Gy (ERR/Gy) equals 0.42 with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) (0.14-0.72); for the mortality from solid cancers ERR/Gy = 0.74, 95% CI (0.03-1.76); and for the mortality from the circulatory system diseases ERR/Gy = 1.01, 95% CI (0.51-1.57). Based on these estimates the risk groups were ranked among all Russian emergency workers (160 thousand persons): the group of the potential radiation risk with doses more than 150 mGy (33488 persons) and the group of the high radiation risk with doses more than 240 mGy (6054 persons).

Abstract
The influence of heterogeneity in individual radiosensitivity on estimation of ageing using survival curve is considered. Quadratic deviation of the rate of ageing from the true value in estimated by imitation modeling techniques. The Gompertz model for spontaneous mortality and gamma-frailty model for heterogeneity are used. Simulation performed at different values of radiation effect and heterogeneity variance. It is shown that inclusion heterogeneity in the model is not efficient for large values of heterogeneity variance. For moderate values of heterogeneity variance model with heterogeneity produces more accurate results in comparison with the model without heterogeneity.

Abstract
The paper presents estimates for the latent period of the induction of radiogenic solid cancers among Chernobyl emergency workers (males) living in six central regions of Russia. The analysis is based on medical and dosimetry data gathered by the National Radiation and Epidemiological Registry over the time period from 1986 to 2005. The cohort includes 59,770 persons who stayed in the exposure zone (30-km zone around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant) in 1986-1987. There were 2,718 cases of solid tumors identified during the follow-up time in this cohort. The mean radiation dose in the cohort is 0.13 Gy. The radiation risk and latent period were estimated using the method of maximum likelihood. The excess relative risk per unit dose was found to be 0.96 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.3-1.7) and the minimum latent period for induction of solid tumors is 4.0 years (95% CI: 3.3-4.9).

Abstract
Internationally, the upper limit of acceptable individualized risk from occupational exposure for nuclear industry workers is determined by the death probability 10(-3) y(-1). The same risk value of 10(-3) y(-1) is established by the radiation safety standards currently in force in Russia. The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation has proposed the formulas for estimating individualized risk of developing cancer with allowance for radiation dose, age at exposure, attained age, and sex. This methodology is first applied to estimate individualized radiation risk for Russian nuclear industry workers (49,900 persons) who were monitored for radiation exposure through the use of personal dosimeters. The estimates show that in 2006 the threshold of 10(-3) y(-1) for individualized risk is exceeded for 755 persons, which is 1.6% of all workers covered by personal dose monitoring. The excess absolute risk (EAR) and attributable risk (AR) were estimated for all cancers, solid cancers, and leukemias.

Abstract
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) etiologically occurs as a radiation-induced or sporadic malignancy. Genetic factors contributing to the susceptibility to either form remain unknown. In this retrospective case-control study, we evaluated possible associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the candidate DNA damage response genes (ATM, XRCC1, TP53, XRCC3, MTF1) and risk of radiation-induced and sporadic PTC. A total of 255 PTC cases (123 Chernobyl radiation-induced and 132 sporadic, all in Caucasians) and 596 healthy controls (198 residents of Chernobyl areas and 398 subjects without history of radiation exposure, all Caucasians) were genotyped. The risk of PTC and SNPs interactions with radiation exposure were assessed by logistic regressions. The ATM G5557A and XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphisms, regardless of radiation exposure, associated with a decreased risk of PTC according to the multiplicative and dominant models of inheritance (odds ratio (OR) = 0.69, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.45-0.86 and OR = 0.70, 95% CI 0.59-0.93 respectively). The ATM IVS22-77 T > C and TP53 Arg72Pro SNPs interacted with radiation (P = 0.04 and P = 0.01 respectively). ATM IVS22-77 associated with the increased risk of sporadic PTC (OR = 1.84, 95% CI 1.10-3.24) whereas TP53 Arg72Pro correlated with the higher risk of radiogenic PTC (OR = 1.80, 95% CI 1.06-2.36). In the analyses of ATM/TP53 (rs1801516/rs664677/rs609429/rs1042522) combinations, the GG/TC/CG/GC genotype strongly associated with radiation-induced PTC (OR = 2.10, 95% CI 1.17-3.78). The GG/CC/GG/GG genotype displayed a significantly increased risk for sporadic PTC (OR = 3.32, 95% CI 1.57-6.99). The results indicate that polymorphisms of DNA damage response genes may be potential risk modifiers of ionizing radiation-induced or sporadic PTCs.

Abstract
The presented paper deals with the thyroid cancer incidence in selected cohorts of emergency workers of Russia. In 1986-2003, a total of 87 cases of thyroid cancer were observed. Based on these data, a statistically significant increase in thyroid cancer incidence was found above the reference level for the male population of Russia, corresponding to a standardized incidence rate (SIR) of SIR = 3.47 [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.80; 4.25]. The highest incidence rate (SIR = 6.62, 95% CI: 4.63; 9.09) was shown for those emergency workers who took part in the early recovery operations in April-July 1986. The estimated SIR value increases to 7.97 (95% CI: 5.24; 11.52) after allowing for a 10 years latent period of Chernobyl-related thyroid cancers. These results indicate that the exposure to incorporated (131)I was the major risk factor of thyroid cancer among Chernobyl emergency workers. No statistically significant relationship was found for the thyroid cancer incidence and external radiation dose.

Abstract
The presented work summarizes data on estimated radiation risks among Chernobyl emergency workers of the Russian Federation. In 1991-1998, the excess relative risk (ERR) of death from malignant neoplasm was statistically significant: excess relative risk per 1 Gy (ERR/Gy)=2.11 with 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.31-2.92). In 1991-2001, the ERR estimation for incident solid cancers gives a positive, but statistically insignificant value: ERR/Gy=0.34 with 95% CI (-0.39; 1.22). In 1986-2003, radiation risk for leukemia incidence was investigated. During the first 10 y after the Chernobyl accident (1986-1996) the relative risk (RR) of leukemia (excluding chronic lymphocytic leukemia) was statistically significant: RR=2.2 with 95% CI (1.3-3.8) for emergency workers with doses>0.15 Gy in comparison with less exposed workers. In 1986-2000, a statistically significant dose response was observed for incident cerebrovascular diseases: ERR/Gy=0.39, 95% CI=(0.004; 0.77). For doses>0.15 Gy a statistically significant risk of cerebrovascular diseases as a function of mean daily dose was observed: ERR per 0.1 Gy d(-1)=2.17 with 95% CI=(0.64; 3.69). Different but overlapping cohorts of Russian emergency workers were used for these estimations. No adjustments were made for recognized risk factors for cerebrovascular diseases. All results should be considered as preliminary.

Abstract
A vast amount of research articles devoted to the increase in childhood thyroid cancer incidence in the most contaminated by radionuclides territories of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine affected by the Chernobyl accident were published recent years. However, the amount of research studies of thyroid cancer incidence among the Chernobyl emergency workers (liquidators) is quite scanty. In the article results of the study of thyroid cancer incidence in the cohort of the Chernobyl liquidators (103427 persons) residing in 6 administrative regions of Russia (North-West, Volgo-Vyatsky, Central-Chernozemny, Povolzhsky, North-Caucasus and Urals) are described and discussed. For the period 1986-2003 eighty seven cases of thyroid cancer were detected in the cohort. Statistically significant excess of the incidence among liquidators over baseline incidence, SIR = 3.39 (95% CI: 2.73; 4.16), among men of Russia has been found. The highest thyroid cancer incidence (SIR = 6.49) was registered among liquidators who had been involved in mitigation works during April-July 1986. At the same time no statistically significant relationship between the incidence rate and external radiation dose, ERR = 1.68 (95% CI: -0.95; 6.46), was detected.

Abstract
The paper discusses the provision of targeted health care to nuclear workers in Russia based on radiation-epidemiological estimates of cancer risks. Cancer incidence rates are analysed for the workers of the Institute of Physical Power Engineering (the first nuclear installation in the world) who were subjected to individual dosimetric monitoring from 1950 to 2002. The value of excess relative risk for solid cancers was found to be ERR Gy(-1) = 0.24 (95% CI: -4.22; 7.96). It has been shown that 81.8% of the persons covered by individual dosimetric monitoring have potential attributive risk up to 5%, and the risk is more than 10% for 3.7% of the workers. Among the detected cancer cases, 73.5% of the individuals show an attributive risk up to 5% and the risk is in excess of 10% for 3.9% of the workers. Principles for the provision of targeted health care, given voluntary health insurance, are outlined.

Abstract
The draft new recommendations of the ICRP emphasize the need for transition from the collective dose to the dose matrix concept with optimization of the radiation protection system. In fact, this means assessment of the attributive (radiation-induced) risk at individual level with allowance for the dynamics of dose accumulation during the whole length of professional experience. The work provides assessments for high potential risk group from the "Mayak" personnel based on the dose matrix and using the UNSCEAR technique for assessing the attributive risk. It was found that about 2% of "Mayak" personnel subject to individual dosimetric monitoring in 2005 can be attributed to this group.

Abstract
We present a general theory for calculating the vector and geometrical properties of the multiphoton excitation of an arbitrary atomic or molecular system. The results are applied to study the influence of the polarization of the two-photon excited state, which is usually neglected, on the intensity of (2 + 1) resonant multiphoton ionization in atoms. Two examples of specific atomic systems of practical importance are presented: oxygen and chlorine. For some cases, the effect of the polarization of the pre-ionized state can be significant and must be properly treated.

Abstract
In this study, thyroid cancer incidence (follow-up period: 1991-2001) has been analyzed, including persons who were exposed as children at an age between 0 and 17 years and who are living in the Bryansk oblast, the worst contaminated area of Russia after the Chernobyl accident. According to the census of 1989, the population of this oblast comprises 375 thousand people. Thyroid doses from incorporated radioiodine isotopes -- both for the thyroid cancer cases and the study population -- were determined based on the official methodology approved by the Russian Scientific Commission on Radiation Protection. Between 1991 and 2001, a total of 199 thyroid cancer cases were diagnosed at cancer centers (the so-called oncological dispensaries) of the investigated regions. The performed analysis relies on medical and dosimetric information available from the Russian National Medical and Dosimetric Registry which was established after the Chernobyl accident. Diagnoses were confirmed histologically for 95% of the cases. The analysis described revealed statistically significant radiation risk only for those exposed as children at an age of 0-9 years. In this group, the standardized incidence ratio (the national incidence rate was used as a reference) in the considered time period is estimated to be 6.7 (5.1, 8.6 95%CI) and 14.6 (10.3, 20.2 95%CI) for girls and boys, respectively. The risk dependence on age at exposure has also been studied. It has been shown that the smaller the age the higher the risk. For girls whose age at exposure was 0-4 years, the excess relative risk per 1 Gy for the period 1991-2001 was 45.3 (5.2, 9,953 95%CI; with internal control) and 28.8 (4.3, 2,238 95%CI; with external control), respectively. For boys whose age at exposure was 0-9 years the corresponding excess relative risk per 1 Gy was 68.6 (10.0, 4,520 95%CI) and 177.4 (-276, 10(6) 95%CI), respectively. Dependence of radiation risk on time was studied, with the focus on two follow-up periods 1991-1996 and 1997-2001, respectively. In 1997-2001 the radiation risk is shown to decrease among girls, and increase among boys.
