Abstract

Occupational radiation exposures for interventionalists are considered as the highest received doses among medical practitioners and contributing a risk of DNA damage. A significantly higher γ-H2AX foci and unstable chromosomal aberrations (p > 0.001) was observed in Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes (PBL) of medical professionals when compared to healthy volunteers, whereas translocations did not show any difference. The results suggest that low-dose protracted radiation exposure can induce DNA damages in PBL and can get repaired or misrepaired and develop into chromosomal aberrations.

介入放射科医师长期低剂量和低剂量率x射线照射的早期和晚期DNA损伤评估

介入医生的职业辐射暴露被认为是医疗从业人员中接受剂量最高的，并有造成DNA损伤的风险。医学专业人员外周血淋巴细胞(PBL) γ-H2AX病灶和不稳定染色体畸变(p > 0.001)明显高于健康志愿者，而易位无显著差异。结果提示，低剂量持续辐射可引起PBL DNA损伤，并可修复或错修复，发展为染色体畸变。
