RESUMO
On the basis of all possible publications on the theme included in the previously formed base of sources on molecular epidemiology of RET/PTC rearrangements in thyroid papillary carcinoma a pooled analysis ("simple pooling data") on determination of the dose-effect dependences for RET/PTC frequency in radiogenic carcinomas of various irradiated groups was performed. (They are groups subjected to radiotherapeutic exposure, residents near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (CNPP) and victims of nuclear bombing). The tendency to Pearson linear correlation (r = 0.746; p = 0.148) between the frequency of RET/PTC and the estimated dose on thyroid in the regions affected by the CNPP accident was revealed. But this tendency was recognized to be random owing to abnormally low values of the indicator for the most contaminated Gomel region. The method tentatively called "case-control" showed reliable differences in thyroid dose values for carcinomas with RET/PTC and without those. The versatility of changes was found: the lack of RET/PTC for radiotherapeutic impacts was associated with higher doses, whereas in case of the CNPP accident and for nuclear bombing victims it was the opposite. Probably, in the first case the "cellular cleaning" phenomenon after exposure to very high doses took place. Search of direct Pearson correlations between average/median thyroid doses on groups and RET/PTC frequency in carcinomas of these groups showed a high reliability for the dose-effect dependences- at the continuous dose scale (for RET/PTC in total and RET/PTC1 respectively: r = 0.830; p = 0.002 and r = 0.906; p = 0.0003); while there was no significant correlation received for RET/PTC3. When using the weighting least square regression analysis (proceeding from the number of carcinomas in samples), the specified regularities remained. Attempts to influence the strength of correlation by exception ofthe data of all the samples connected with the accident on the CNPP did not significantly reduce the strength of associations for RET/PTC in total. On the basis of ordinal scale doses (background, "low" (0.1 Gy), "middle" (0.1-1 Gy) and "large" (1-10 Gy) dose) also found was a significant correlation (Spearman) with the dose for the frequency RET/PTC in total (r = 0.736; p = 0.0098), but for certain types of rearrangements the results were reverse to the previous analysis (the effect was significant only for the RET/PTC3: r = 0.731; p = 0.024). The linear dose-response trends of the Cochrane-Armitage-test for the frequency of RET/PTC in total, RET/PTC1 and RET/PTC3 depending on the dose to the thyroid in the ordinal scale were registered (p, respectively: < 0.0001 < 0.0001 and 0.007). Thus; after more than 20 years of the molecular and epidemiological research of RET/PTC in thyroid radiogenic carcinomas the comprehensive evidence of the dose-effect dependence existence indicating a real relationship between the studied parameters and a radiation factor was obtained for the first time.

The database of publications on molecular epidemiology of RET/PTC rearrangements in sporadic and radiogenic thyroid papillary carcinoma has been formed (197 sources at the end of 2014; coverage of 100%). Based on this database a pooled analysis of data on the rates of RET/PTC1, RET/PTC3 and RET/PTC in total was conducted. Statistical approach involves a simple pooling, as well as calculations on the models of random and fixed effects. Since almost all the strata were characterized by heterogeneity, simple pooling and random effect models were adequate. Calculations using both models led to almost identical results. For rates of RET/PTC1, RET/PTC3 and RET/PTC in total with respect to formed carcinoma striations the following values (pooling, in %) were obtained: sporadic, total--13.2; 8.9; 21.2; sporadic, adults--13.3; 9.9; 21.1; sporadic, children--22.4; 17.5; 44.5; radiogenic, total--20.9; 20.3; 40.4; radiotherapy (exposure in childhood)--31.1; 11.8; 42.5; children affected after the Chernobyl accident--19.9; 23.6; 46.1; radiological incidents (exposure in adulthood)--19.9; 7.7; 18.4. Statistically proven is the reliability of differences of carcinoma indicators for children compared with adults (both sporadic and radiogenic tumors) and for radiogenic cancer compared with sporadic. The greatest increase in rate after irradiation was found for RET/PTC1, previously characterized in vitro as one of radiogenic types of RET/PTC.

A review of molecular genetic, radiobiological and molecular epidemiological studies of gene (chromosome) rearrangements RET/PTC in the cells of the thyroid gland as well as the laws in relation to radiation exposure in vitro, in vivo and human populations identified with them are submitted. The data on the c-RET gene and its chimeric constructs with the gene-donors (RET/PTC rearrangements) are considered. The information about the history of the RET/PTC discovery, their types, carcinogenic potential and specificity both to tumor and non-tumor thyroid disease especially for papillary thyroid carcinoma are provided. The data (seven studies) on the induction of RET/PTC after irradiation of tumor and normal thyroid cells in vitro and mice are reviewed. The mechanisms of RET/PTC induction may be associated with DNA double strand breaks and oxidative stress. Some information (three publications) about the possibility of RET/PTC induction by low doses of radiation with low LET (to 0.1 Gy) is given and it is concluded that their potential evidentiary is generally weak. The achievements in the molecular epidemiology of RET/PTC frequency for exposed and unexposed cohorts are stated. At the same time it is noted that, despite the vast array. of data accumulated from 30 countries of the world and more than 20 years of research, the formed provisions are weakly confirmed statistically and have no base corresponding to the canons of evidence-based medicine. The possibility of use of the RET/PTC presence or their frequencies as markers of the papillary thyroid carcinomas and, specifically, their radiogenic forms, is considered. In the first case the answer may be positive, while in the second, the situation is characterized by uncertainty. Based to the above mentioned we came to a conclusion about the need of a pooled or meta-analysis of the totality of the published data.

The mRNA levels of P53gene, as well as NPM1, Kras, c-Myc, p14(ARF) genes, which, according to the published data, code for the proteins regulating the p53 activity, were studied using RT-PCR method in blood cells of patients with different localization of tumor process (prostate cancer, breast cancer and head and neck cancer) before and after application of radiation therapy. Changes in gene expression of cancer patients were compared with the control group of healthy donors. We have established that all patients had a decreased level of the Kras gene expression even before radiotherapy; moreover, the group of patients with prostate cancer had a low content of mRNA in NPM1 and p14(ARF), and the group of patients with head and neck cancerhad a reliably reduced mRNA in P53, NPM1 and p14(ARF). The radiation therapy did not cause essential changes in the expression of these genes of cancer patients, ecpect for the Kras gene, whose the mRNA level in the group of patients with head and neck cancer was reliably lower than the mRNA level prior to beginning of radiation therapy. The correlations of P53, NPM1, Kras, p14(ARF) gene expression were studied. We have shown that p14(ARF) mRNA level negatively correlates with Kras mRNA (R = -0.6, p = 0.002) and P53 mRNA levels (R = -0.49, p = 0.013) in the control group of healthy donors. A positive correlation was observed between P53 mRNA and NPM1 mRNA (R = 0.54, p = 0.006). Similar correlations between mRNA levels of these genes in blood cells were absent in the cancer patients before radiotherapy. After radiotherapy in patients with prostate cancer, p14(ARF) mRNA level positively correlated with NPM1 mRNA (R = 0.7, p = 0.001) and negatively with Kras mRNA (R = - 0.5, p = 0.03). Our results provide evidence that expression P53, NPM1, Kras and p14(ARF) genes may be coordinated in blood cells of healthy donors. The low expression levels of the studied genes in patients can contribute to the increase in the mutation changes in blood cells of the examined subjects after the action of genotoxic factors.

Part 1 of Report 4 is focused on the development and modifications of causal criteria after A.B. Hill (1965). Criteria from B. MacMahon et al. (1970-1996), regarded as the first textbook for modern epidemiology, were considered, and it was found that the named researchers did not offer anything new despite the frequent mention of this source in relation to the theme. A similar situation emerged with the criteria of M. Susser: the three obligatory points of this author, "Association" (or "Probability" of causality), "Time order," and "Direction of effect," are trivial, and two more special criteria, which are the development of "Popperian Epidemiology," i.e., "Surviability" of the hypothesis when it is tested by different methods (included in the refinement in Hill's criterion "Consistency of association") and "Predictive performance" of the hypothesis are more theoretical and hardly applicable for the practice of epidemiology and public health. The same restrictions apply to the similar "Popperian" criteria of D.L. Weed, "Predictability" and "Testability" of the causal hypothesis. Although the universal postulates of A.S. Evans for infectious and noninfectious pathologies can be considered exhaustive, they are not used either in epidemiology or in any other discipline practice, except for the field of infectious pathologies, which is probably explained by the complication of the ten-point complex. The little-known criteria of P. Cole (1997) for medical and forensic practice are the most important. The three parts of Hill's criterion-based approaches are important in that they go from a single epidemiological study through a cycle of studies (coupled with the integration of data from other biomedical disciplines) to re-base Hill's criteria for assessing the individual causality of an effect. These constructs complement the earlier guidance from R.E. Gots (1986) on establishing probabilistic personal causation. The collection of causal criteria and the guidelines for environmental disciplines (ecology of biota, human ecoepidemiology, and human ecotoxicology) were considered. The total dominance of inductive causal criteria, both initial and in modifications and with additions, was revealed for an apparently complete base of sources (1979-2020). Adaptations of all known causal schemes based on guidelines have been found, from Henle-Koch postulates to Hill and Susser, including in the international programs and practice of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Hill Criteria are used by the WHO and other organizations on chemical safety (IPCS) to assess causality in animal experiments for subsequent extrapolation to humans. Data on the assessment of the causality of effects in ecology, ecoepidemiology, and ecotoxicology, together with the use of Hill's criteria for animal experiments, are of significant relevance not only for radiation ecology, but also for radiobiology.
RESUMO
The frequency of mutant forms p53 and N-Ras genes was investigated in DNA from peripheral blood of the patients by method Polymerase Chain Reaction - Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism Analysis. The patients were investigated in late period after radiation accidents exhibited acute radiation syndrome. It is established that the mutations among patients in areas of codons 246-250 exon 7 of p53 gene and codon 12 of N-Ras gene were meet more often than in control group. It is shown that these mutations possibly arise in insignificant number of the cells with the radiation-induced genomic instability. Possibility of use of mutations in protooncogenes and tumour suppressor genes as markers of risk of development of the main thing from delayed effects of exposure to ionizing radiation - malignant tumours is discussed.

The genes of detoxication, MTHFR and p53 were studied in Down' and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome cells. The frequency GSTM1(0/0) genotype in Down syndrome patients was in 1.5 times higher than in control cells (p < 0.069). Opposite the frequency GSTM1(0/0) genotype in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome was 23.3% 2 times lower than in control cells (p < 0.034). This indication was in 2 times lower in women cells than in men cells and in 3 times lower than in control cells (p < 0.026). The mutations of p53 gene (7th exon) were detected in 4 from 11 Down patients (36.7%; in 2 cases af women and men), in Ehlers-Danlos patients--in 5 cases and only in men (29.4% among all the observed patients). The observations 24 healthy donors weren't revealed any mutations (p < 0.013-0.001). The hypothesis about the connection between gene polymorphisms which take a part in genome stability and radiosensitivity in Down and Ehlers-Danlos patients was developed.

Molecular-biochemical and cytogenetic analyses were made on blood cells of 17 radiation accident victims who, from 1.7 to 43.8 years previously, had suffered acute radiation sickness (ARS) ranging from severity grades I to IV. Molecular-biochemical data were obtained with patients' leukocytes and with mononuclear cells on their oxidative status by a) the level of an anion-radical O2*- in the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) test and b) the sum of reactive oxygen species in the 2,7-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFDA) test together with a test for DNA strand unwinding in alkaline conditions by measurements of fluorescence intensity of ethidium bromide. Each parameter was measured in freshly sampled cells and during a 5-hour incubation as absolute means on 5 measurements and in % change from the initial values. Cytogenetic data were obtained from the standard metaphase preparations scored for routine unstable chromosomal aberrations (us-CA)--dicentrics; and stable aberrations (sCA)--translocations. The latter ones were assayed by the FISH method using whole chromosome 2, 4 and 12 fluorescent probes and scaled up to genome equivalence. For all patients reduced oxidative status of about 25-30% was obtained by the MTT-test (p < 0.005), and the DCFDA-test (p < 0.027). The yield of usCA depended on the time after irradiation with higher yields associated with the shorter postirradiation times and reducing almost to expected background frequencies. The yield of sCA was high for all patients, correlating with the severity of ARS whilst the molecular-biochemical parameters showed no relationship with ARS. A correlation was observed between parameters of oxidative status and % of cells with usCA: by the MTT-test r = from 0.50 up to 0.61 (p = from 0.06 up to 0.003), but by the DCFDA-test the strength of correlation was smaller: r = from 0.38 up to 0.48. An inverse correlation was found between initial oxidative state of mononuclear cells and the frequency of CA in lymphocytes. Similarly a marked inverse correlation between degree of DNA unwinding by the ethidium bromide assay on leukocytes and sCA in lymphocytes was also noted. The feasibility of radiation-induced delayed genomic instability in vivo for humans long time after irradiation is discussed.

The molecular manifestations of radiation-induced genome instability-changes of the DNA structure, the excision DNA repair and the contents of the reactive oxygen forms in bone marrow cells of the repair proficient mice (CBA) and of the repair-defective (101/H) lines in the dynamics up to 185 day after ionizing radiation exposure in the dose of 1.5 Gy were studied. Is was established, that after irradiation in bone marrow cells the descendants with the decreased activity of excision DNA repair and prone to increased changes of DNA structure DHK is arised. The injection of the phenozane in concentrations causing its receptor interaction with cells, did not defend DNA of the bone marrow cells from the radiation injury after the exposure in a sublethal dose, however it exerted influence on long-term changes. Due to the phenosane of the bone marrow cells of the irradiated mice of CBA line exhibited the larger activity in a DNA repair from damages and maintenance of vitality. The bone marrow cells of male mice of repair defective 101/H line, which phenozan was entered before the irradiation, remained unfit to the remuval of DNA damages by the repair, that probably resulted the activations of the program of the maintenance of genome constancy by the apoptosis in the cells--carriers of the structural defects and the cause of animal lethality.

It is established that lymphatic tissue of dogs shows far less degradation of chromatin after whob body irradiation (6 Gy) or exposure to lympholytic agents (hydrocortisone and colchicine), compared to rats. The fragmentation of chromatin in dog thymus occurs, like in rat, according to the internucleosome type, but affects a considerably less part of the thymocyte population.

For analysis of a dynamic component state of the system of maintenance of genome stability, which represent a condition of its expression (first of all, genes of the control of phases of cell cycle, the DNA repair and redox systems) after a long chronic exposure to a small dose, the activity of replicative, reparative DNA synthesis, DNA damage as well as oxyradical content in the bone marrow cells of mice (critical for radiation effects mammalian system) after 1 year radiation exposure to a dose 63.7 cGy (0.17 cGy/day) were studied. The considerable enhancement of replicative and reparative DNA synthesis activity by 67% (p = 0.0033) and 60% (p = 0.000004) accordingly in relation to the control and some, but statistically not significant (p = 0.149) tendency to increase (by 30%) the content of a superoxide anion-radical were established. Strong and highly significant correlation (r = 0.8681; P = 0.99975) between DNA damage and O2-. content in bone marrow cells of the irradiated mices, which indicate the large DNA damage by oxiradicals, probably, due to the loss of a part of structural proteins and conformation changes in expression sites of a chromatin, were detected. The obtained results interpreted as representing the change of a dynamic component state of a system of maintenance of genome stability, the epigenic transfer of that to descendants of the irradiated cells can be the cause for formation and maintenance of radiation-induced genome instability.

To analyse a role of the factor of a genetic fundamentals of cells in formation of radiation-induced genome instability (RIGI) we investigated a condition of DNA pattern, content of superoxide anion-radical O2*- and a sum of reactive oxigen species (ROS) (O2*-, OH*, H2O2), and also catalase activity in bone marrow cells of male and female mice of 101/H strain in the norm and at once after chronic (10 day) exposure to 200 mGy gamma-radiation. Thus we based on conception about a significance of mechanisms of DNA repair and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in development of radiation-induced genome instability (RIGI), and also on the data on sex bound differences in efficiency of DNA repair in reply to impact of the genotoxic agents for male and female mice of 101/H strain. Sex connected differences in redox system of bone marrow cells were established. In males lower catalase activity was found in the norm, with considerable increase of the activity and the content of ROS after chronic irradiation with a low dose (200 mGy); at the same time a direct correlation between the ROS content and catalase activity occurred. In female, which have higher DNA repair potential, higher level of catalase activity was found in the norm, with reduction after irradiation and lower, than in male, level of O2*- content; no changes in the general ROS content, or direct correlation between the content of a superoxide anion-radical (O2*-) and the sum of ROS were observed. The detected differences between male and female the studied parameters in the norm and after irradiation indicate a connection of the studied characteristics and their changes with a sex, confirm the literature data about a significance of the factor of a genetic fundamentals of bioobject in formation of radiation-induced genome instability.

The aim of the research is a further analysis of a problem concerning two (regulatory and damaging) functions of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in viability of organism cells under acute exposure to ionizing radiation. For this purpose the ROS content and the state of DNA structure in bone marrow cells of male CBA and SHK mice have been studied in dynamics, from 15 minutes up to 185 day after acute exposure to a sublethal dose (1.5 Gy) of ionizing radiation. The analysis of dependencies between these parameters in the norm, immediately after irradiation and in later cell descendants showed the direct correlation between the ROS content and the DNA nativity in the norm; 185 days after irradiation the correlation disappeared. It was suggested that the correlation occurred in the norm indicates participation of the ROS (as a sensory link) in a system of reactions (under the control of the corresponding genetic program), that ensure the DNA structure and, ultimately, the genome stability. The loss of such connection after acute exposure to ionizing radiation indicates actuation of another module of reactions sustaining stability of cellular genome in new conditions, without regulatory participation of ROS, that can promote or demonstrate the development of radiation-induced genome instability.

The DNA and RNA contents, RNA/DNA ratio, and spontaneous and latex-induced oxidant activity indices of the whole blood were studied in the nitroblue tetrazolium test of mono- and polymorphonuclear blood leucocytes of intact dogs after injection of lipopolysaccharide pyrogenal. Significant changes in the above parameters were revealed for radioresistant (survived) and radiosensitive (lost) animals exposed to a subsequent prolonged gamma irradiation with a lethal dose of 7.64 Gy (LD75/45). Peroral introduction of 30 mg/kg indometofen (an indole analog of tamoxifen), which is a potential radioprotector, to dogs increased the survival rates of the irradiated dogs up to 93% and aided in the adaptive biochemical changes in the nuclear cell compartment of blood to induce a radioresistant status of the organism.

The influence of NS-1539, a potential anti-irradiation agent and indole analogues of tamoxifen on the DNA repair synthesis in the bone marrow and lymphocytes of peripheral blood was studied. It was found that the DNA repair processes from damages caused by chemical mutagen N-nitroso-N-methylurea or physical factor UV-irradiation in the bone marrow cells after the NS-1539 protection of mice as well as in lymphocytes of peripheral blood of human donors were enhanced. The enhancing of DNA repair synthesis was seen not earlier than 18 hours after the NS-1539 injection to mice in vivo or when NS-1539 was added to lymphocyte suspension in vitro and observed up to the third day. This period of time coincides with the time of formation of radioresistance of organism under the influence of this agent as well as with the time of realization effects of steroid hormones on target cells.

The total, free and unprecipitated activity of lysosomal (acid DNAase, acid RNAase, acid phosphate, acid beta-galactosidase) and peroxisomal (catalase, oxidase of D-amino acids) enzymes were studied in dog kidney cortex during storage of the tissues in solution of rheopolyglucin and under conservation of the kidney tissue by transrenal gas perfusion in hypothermia within 3 and 7 days. Labilization of lysosomal and peroxisomal membranes was observed during storage both in unperfused and in oxygenated kidney. Mechanisms of formation and functional significance of the alterations observed in structure of lysosomes and peroxisomes are discussed.

The study was made of the influence of the Rhodiola rosea extracts administration on chromosome aberrations, production of cells with micronuclei and unscheduled DNA synthesis in bone marrow cells of mice under action of mutagens cyclophosphamide and N-nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU). It was found that Rhodiola rosea extracts reduce significantly the yield of cells with the chromosome aberrations and micronuclei induced by cyclophosphamide in vivo, inhibit unscheduled DNA synthesis induced by NMU in vitro. It is emphasized that Rhodiola rosea extracts are antimutagens due to ability to raise the efficiency of the intracell DNA repair mechanisms.

In experiments with rats of different age exposed to gamma- or neutron-radiation it was shown that in younger animals, the inhibition of DNA synthesis in the bone marrow was of a lesser degree but more stable without a tendency toward recovery. Inhibition of DNA synthesis was more pronounced in mature rats, but in 18 h it was completely or partially eliminated. Neutrons of 1.5-2 MeV caused a more pronounced, than gamma-radiation, inhibition of DNA synthesis in all animals under study irrespective of their age: the inhibition was similar in animals with different levels of bone marrow proliferation.

A study was made of the content of hnRNA, nuclear poly(A) RNA and biosynthesis of rlnRNA in truncus cerebri of rats divided into 3 groups by the forced swimming test 6-8 min and 60 min after a short-term exposure to sparsely ionizing radiation of 100 Gy. The observed changes in the nuclear RNA metabolism can subsequently lead to the impairment of the synthesis of proteins required for normal functioning of CNS, and to the development of CNS syndrome.
