[Neurotic disorders in adolescents with vegetative dysfunction]. / Nevrozopodibni stany u pidlitkiv z vehetatyvnymy dysfunktsiiamy.

The main disorders in juveniles who are resident in the zone of small doses of ionizing radiation are vegetative dysfunctions. Of these, there prevail vegetovascular dysfunction comprising 45.7%, with neurocirculatory and vegetovisceral dysfunctions occurring less frequently (26.3% and 19.7% respectively). The major proportion of juveniles present with neurosis-like states, asthenic and asthenodepressive ones being the most common type.

A total of 3019 adolescents were examined residing in those territories of the Zhitomir and Vinnitsa Regions affected by radionuclide contamination, who ranged from 15 to 18 years old. Revealed in the above juvenile population was a stimulating effect of small doses of ionizing radiation on some parameters characterizing somatosexual development in adolescents 15 years old, that tends to smooth down with stabilization of physical and sexual development.

[Structural and functional status of the hypophyseal-thyroid system in prenatally irradiated children]. / Strukturno-funktsional'nyi stan gipofizarno-tyreoïdnoï systemy u ditei, oprominenykh vnutrishn'outrobno.

In order to evaluate the morphologic-and-functional state of the hypophysis-thyroid system long after the Chernobyl accident we examined 1491 children from the northern territories of the Zhitomir region. Of these, 261 had not been in utero exposed to radioiodine, 1230 pediatric subjects proved to be postconception-exposed. In utero radioiodine has not been found to affect the thyroid size in any noticeable way. The degree of structural-and-functional indices for the thyreostat system in prenatally irradiated children depends on the stage of the thyroid development just when there happened to be an exposure to radioiodine.
