    PubMed
    Summary

    Radiation exposure from iodine, strontium, and cesium causes injuries and impairs immunity. These effects increase infection risk and lead to long-term health issues like cancer and aging.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiation Biology
    • Toxicology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Radiation accidents pose significant health risks.
    • Understanding radiation-induced injuries is crucial for public health.
    • Specific radioisotopes like iodine, strontium, and cesium are of particular concern.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of single general radiation exposure.
    • To analyze the impact of iodine, strontium, and cesium radioisotopes on experimental animals.
    • To characterize radiation-induced injuries in both the short and long term.

    Main Methods:

    • Experimental studies on animals exposed to radiation.
    • Literature data review on radioisotope effects.
    • Analysis of immune system responses (T- and B-immunity).

    Main Results:

    • Radiation exposure leads to a pattern of injuries.
    • Impairments in nonspecific humoral and cellular immunity (T- and B-cell systems) were observed.
    • Onset of autosensitization was noted, contributing to health issues.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiation-induced immune system damage is significant for immediate (infections) and delayed effects.
    • Delayed effects include malignant neoplasms, cataracts, aging, and reproductive dysfunction.
    • Findings are vital for hygienic assessment and developing preventive strategies against radiation exposure.
