RADIATION EXPOSURE AND INJURY ASSESSMENT

准确评估辐射暴露剂量和损伤后不久 暴露对于预测短期和长期健康至关重要 后果 我们打算评估意外暴露的工人， 各种实验室技术。 具体来说，分析技术 将用于定量内部辐射暴露剂量， 通过遗传分析进行身体计数和生物效应。 对于后者， 将采集血液样本并用于评价是否存在 染色体畸变和DNA修复异常。 标准健康 评估将包括病史、体格检查和临床 实验室测定。使用暴露指标的组合， 以及生物和健康影响，我们的研究应该提供可靠的 短期和长期健康风险评估信息。

Accurate assessment of radiation exposure doses and injury soon after exposure is critical for use in predicting short and long term health consequences. We intend to evaluate accidentally exposed workers by a variety of laboratory techniques. Specifically, analytical techniques will be used to quantitate internal radiation exposure dose using whole body counting and biologic effects by genetic analysis. For the latter, blood samples will be collected and used to evaluate for presence of chromosome aberrations and abnormalities in DNA repair. Standard health evaluation will include history, physical examination and clinical laboratory determinations. Using a combination of indicators of exposure, and biological and health effects, our study should provide reliable information for evaluation of short and lnog term health risks.
