Compare the methods of introducing radiopharmaccutical according to the “two-day protocol” and the “one-day protocol”. To identify the advantages of using the “two-day protocol” method over the “one-day protocol” method. Material and methods: In order to improve the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer by means of a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) using the technique of introducing a radiopharmaceutical a day before surgical treatment, we analyzed 76 patients with various molecular biological types and stage of breast cancer disease who underwent examination and treatment in the conditions of the P.A. Herzen Moscow State Medical Institute. This cohort of patients was divided into 2 comparable groups: 1 group of patients who underwent SLNB according to a two-day protocol (n=38), the 2nd group of patients who underwent SLNB according to a one-day protocol (n=38). The ambient equivalent dose rate of photon radiation was measured using the MKS-08P dosimeter on the day of RP administration and on the day of surgery. Results: On average, the dose rate of photon radiation 0.5 m from the injection point on the day of radiopharmaccutical administration (according to the “one-day protocol”) and on the day of surgery (according to the “two-day protocol”) was 46.9±23.1(11.0‒85.4) and 2.2±1.1(1.0‒6.4) μSv/h, respectively. The average value of thedose rate directly in the colloid injection zone two hours after administration is equal to 185.1±25.7 (138.9‒258.0) μSv/h, a day later ‒ 9.8±3.8 (6.5‒27) μSv/h. In the first group, when using the “two-day protocol”, when scanning the SPECT/CT in 34/38 (89.5 %) patients revealed 83 lymph nodes, in the second in 30/38 (78.9 %) patients – 72; the total number of removed lymph nodes ‒ 147 and 156, respectively. With an urgent cytological examination, adenogenic metastases were detected in 8 cases in the first group, in 11 cases in the second. In 11/38 (29.0 %) patients, according to the “two-day protocol”, the number of detected and removed lymph nodes is equal, “according to the one-day protocol” ‒ in 5/38 (13.2 %). The scan did not reveal any SLN in the first group – 5/38 (13.2 %), in the second – 7/38 (18.4 %). Conclusions: The advantage of using the “two-day protocol” was revealed, consisting in an 18-fold decrease in background radiation. And also, a faster and more accurate determination of the sentinel lymph node in the surgical field using a gamma detector, associated with a minimum number of cases of scattered radiation in the area of regional lymph outflow, in contrast to the weak accumulation of “sentinel” lymph nodes and strong background radiation outside the nodes when a radioisotope is injected on the day of surgery.

Material and methods: Radiation risks of cataract incidence were studied in the cohort of liquidators of the consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, observed in the system of the National Radiation and Epidemiological Register (NRER) from 1986 to 2021. Among the 62,828 male liquidators, 9,461 new cases of cataracts were detected. The average age of the liquidators at the beginning of exposure was 34 years, the average absorbed dose of external gamma exposure of the whole body was 0.132 Gy, the maximum dose was 1.5 Gy, and the average duration of exposure was 2.5 months. To analyze the relationships of cataract incidence with other diseases and with the dose, a statistical method of link analysis, free from the type of distribution, as well as logistic regression models, were used. Results: The radiation risk of cataracts in the cohort of liquidators who did not have diagnoses of diabetes mellitus, hypoparathyroidism, malnutrition and myotonic disorders depends on the presence of concomitant diseases in the patient: glaucoma (ICD-10 H40–H42), hyperopia (H52.0), myopia (H52.1) or presbyopia (H52.4). For liquidators with comorbidities, radiation risk is statistically significant only 15 years after exposure, with an excess relative risk of ERR/Gy=0.46 with 90 % CI (0.06; 0.90). For liquidators without comorbidities, ERR/Gy decrease over time: from 4.42 with 90 % CI (0.72; 13.41) in the first 5 years, to zero risk 15 years after exposure. Nonparametric estimates of the relative risk (RR) of cataracts for the dose groups of liquidators are consistent with the estimates of ERR/Gy in the linear non-threshold (LNT) model. The determination of the dose threshold for cataracts according to the LNT model, in accordance with the recommendations of the ICRP, leads to estimates from 1.2 Gy to 13.3 Gy, depending on the presence or absence of cataract concomitant diseases in the liquidators. Conclusions: At present, there are no epidemiological evidence for reducing the equivalent dose limit for the lens of the eye for occupational exposure in planned exposure situations at the level of 150 mSv per year, previously established by the recommendations of the ICRP in 2007 and the current Russian radiation safety standards NRB-99/2009.","PeriodicalId":37358,"journal":{"name":"Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45529766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current NRB-99/2009 uses the term “radiation accident” and establishes the main limits of effective dose (Table 3.1.) for personnel and the public: ‒ for the personnel A group, the annual dose limit is 50 mSv under the mandatory condition of not exceeding the average annual value of 20 mSv for any consecutive 5 years; ‒ for the public, the annual dose limit is 5 mSv under the mandatory condition of not exceeding the average annual value of 1 mSv for any consecutive 5 years. However, in design documentation for the construction and reconstruction of nuclear facilities, in draft regulatory and methodological documents, there are periodically misinterpretations of the main dose limits for personnel and the public and an incorrect interpretation of the term “radiation accident”. In many cases, a dose of 20 mSv is called the annual dose limit for personnel, and a dose of 50 mSv/year is either not mentioned at all, or is considered only as permissible in a radiation accident. The term “radiation accident” is often treated as a synonym for “emergency”.

Burnazyan Federal Medical Biophysical Center of the FMBA of Russia in the period up to 1995. Material and methods: The study of the dynamics of absolute peripheral blood indices in former employees of Mayak plant who were exposed to prolonged industrial radiation with a dose rate of less than 0.001 Gy/day (25 people), 0.003‒0.007 Gy/day (12 people) and 0.008‒0.07 G/day (15 people) during the periods of formation, outcomes and immediate, as well as long-term consequences of CRS. Statistical processing of the material was performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics software package 23.0 using the Kruskal–Wallis criteria and the Mann–Whitney U-test for independent samples. The results obtained were considered statistically reliable at p < 0.05. Results: In a group of patients irradiated with a dose rate of 0.008‒0.07 Gy/day during the periods of formation, as well as the outcomes and immediate consequences of CRS, platelet-, leuco- and deep neutropenia were noted. A decrease in the number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin was detected only in the period of outcomes and immediate consequences. The development of agranulocytosis and anemic syndrome are signs that distinguish the course of CRS in this group of patients from the clinical picture of typical CRS. In the period of long-term consequences, 60 % of patients (9 out of 15) developed oncohematological diseases. At an irradiation power of 0.003‒0.007 Gy/day anemic syndrome was found in 4 out of 12 patients. Leukopenia was observed in the periods of outcomes and immediate consequences. Granulocytopenia was detected in all three periods of the course of CRS.

Material and methods: This paper considers the phases of development of the radiation safety regulation system in Russia. It is noted that for the first time a full-fledged three-level system of radiation safety regulation was created in Russia in the early 2000s. A generalized analysis of new international documents in the field of radiation safety system, which are worth using in the Russian regulatory framework, is presented. Results: The main directions of the revision of the Russian regulatory framework in the field of radiation safety are: introduction of new concepts and current terminology; introduction of “soft” standards, which are reference levels and the so-called “dose constraints” (it is desirable to give this term a different Russian name); updating the principles and standards of emergency response; updating the dose coefficients taking into account new biokinetic models, extension of the list of radionuclides and pathways; introduction of special approaches in the field of internal dosimetry and regulation of radiation protection of workers under management of radionuclides with a long effective half-life of clearance from the human body (isotopes of plutonium and 90Sr); use of principles and standards according to the concept of exclusion, exemption, and clearance to justify the criteria for classifying various media as radioactive waste and waste with a high content of radionuclides; development of standards and rules for maintaining the radiation safety of workers and the public during the decommissioning of radiation facilities and the rehabilitation of contaminated areas.
