Radiation signatures in childhood thyroid cancers after the Chernobyl accident: Possible roles of radiation in carcinogenesis
After the Tokyo Electric Power Company Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident, cancer risk from low-dose radiation exposure has been deeply concerning. The linear no-threshold model is applied for the purpose of radiation protection, but it is a model based on the concept that ionizing radiation induces stochastic oncogenic alterations in the target cells. As the elucidation of the mech...
متن کاملFemale reproductive function in areas affected by radiation after the Chernobyl power station accident
This paper reports the results of a comprehensive survey of the effects of the accidental release of radiation caused by the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station in April 1986. The accident and the resulting release of radiation and radioactive products into the atmosphere produced the most serious environmental contamination so far recorded. We have concentrated on evaluating the ou...
متن کاملUrinary bladder carcinogenesis induced by chronic exposure to persistent low-dose ionizing radiation after Chernobyl accident.
Urinary bladder urothelium as well as cells in the microenvironment of lamina propria (endothelial elements, fibroblasts and lymphocytes) demonstrate a number of responses to chronic persistent long-term, low-dose ionizing radiation (IR). Thus, oxidative stress occurs, accompanied by up-regulation of at least two signaling pathways (p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and nuclear factor-kappaB...
متن کاملAppendix 11: Thyroid Cancer Excess Risks in Ukrainian and Belarusian Areas Affected by the Chernobyl Accident
Data are analysed for 684 settlements in Ukraine and 458 settlements in Belarus. In each of the settlements more than 10 measurements of the I content in human thyroids had been performed in the period May/June 1986. Based on the measurement data, average thyroid doses due to the Chernobyl accident were assessed for every birth year in the birth-year cohort 1968-85. Census data from 1979 and 19...
متن کاملReduced abundance of insects and spiders linked to radiation at Chernobyl 20 years after the accident.
Effects of low-level radiation on abundance of animals are poorly known. We conducted standardized point counts and line transects of bumble-bees, butterflies, grasshoppers, dragonflies and spider webs at forest sites around Chernobyl differing in background radiation by over four orders of magnitude. Abundance of invertebrates decreased with increasing radiation, even after controlling for fac...
