[Determining the accumulated dose of gamma radiation in the tooth enamel].

Following ideas of Japanese and Canadian scientists the authors tried to develop practical application of dental enamel for dosimetry of gamma-radiation accumulated by an individual. Human teeth were irradiated in vitro with gamma-rays of 60Co and with x-rays, and the amount of free radicals in ++non-caries enamel was measured on an ESR spectrometer. Linear regression ESR signals on dose of radiation within an interval of 0.1-20 Gy were plotted for gamma- and x-rays with regression coefficients 0.276 and 0.693, respectively. These regressions were used for estimation of accumulated doses of gamma-radiation in 85 residents of Byelorussia and 301 residents of the Tomsk region during investigation of teeth that were removed in normal dental practice.

[Classification of tumors of the blood systems--hemoblastoses].

The article presents a review of new concepts of pathogenesis of leukemia and changes in the schemic of hemopoiesis, which lead to the need to re-examine the existing classification of leukemia. In view of the fact that histogenetic independence of stromal and hemopoietic elements has been proved, there is no need any more for the generalizing term "reticulosis". The authors substantiate the need for differentiation between some acute an chronic leukemias and to consider them as independent nosological forms grouped according to morphological and pathogenetic characteristics and a specific treatment required. These forms, for example, include acute lymphoblast leukemia in children, among acute leukemias - hair cell leukemia, and among chronic leukemias- diseases of heavy chains. Criteria for their identification, as well as probable sources of separate forms of leukemias are described.
