Results of scientific and practical justification of use as a part of designs of biological protection of polymer concrete on the basis of non - isocyanates polyurethane are presented. Influence of a ratio polymer is established: radiation - resistant filler on strength and protective properties of a polymer concrete. Regression dependences of change of the main properties of the specified polymer concrete on the power of the absorbed radiation dose are given. The synergetic effect in weakening of radiation when sharing a hydrogenous polymeric basis and radiation resistant powders is shown.

The article analyzes the possibility of developing custom binders with a set of set properties. Particular attention is paid to the development of radiation-resistant barium-containing cements based on aluminates and barium silicates. In order to normalize the radiation situation in Ukraine, it is urgent to develop structural materials with specified high protective properties against the effects of radiation, a high degree of biological protection in combination with high strength and fire resistance. The main components of the technological parameters of synthesis of the presented cements are determined. Test results of physical and mechanical properties of refractory radiation resistant cements are presented and general recommendations on the scope of the developed binder materials are given. It is determined that the resulting refractory cement can be used as a bond in the manufacture of special concretes and materials that have high protective properties while exposed to high temperatures and radiation. Thermal stability of concrete based on silicate alumobarium cement with different fillers was determined (cooling of the samples was carried out in air). As a result of the tests, it was found that all concrete specimens withstood more than 20 cycles (1000 ° C - air), while maintaining more than 80 % of the initial strength. These results confirm the known pattern: the higher the material density, the greater the material's ability to absorb radiation. Thus, the obtained data allow us to conclude that concrete based on silicate alumobarium cement have high absorption rates of brake radiation, which is more than 1.5 times higher than currently used concrete based on Portland cement. Therefore, it can be concluded that the concretes obtained are radiation resistant, with a high degree of attenuation of gamma rays and can be recommended as protective materials. Keywords: cement, composition, synthesis parameters, radiation resistance, property, strength

There is a gap in the literature regarding fetal radiation exposure from interventional cardiac procedures. With an increasingly large and complex cohort of pregnant cardiac patients, it is necessary to evaluate the safety of invasive cardiac procedures and interventions in this population. Here we present a case of a patient with multiple medical comorbidities and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) at 15 weeks’ gestation, managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We were able to minimize the maternal and estimated fetal absorbed radiation dose to <1 milliGray (mGy), significantly less than the threshold dose for fetal adverse effects at this gestational age.

PURPOSE A phase I trial that evaluated for extrahematopoietic toxicity was conducted with iodine-131 (131I) labeled monoclonal antibody (MAb) CC49. Correlative studies included pharmacokinetic and biodistribution analyses, estimates of absorbed radiation dose, and measurement of human antimonoclonal antibodies (HAMA). PATIENTS AND METHODS After collection and cryopreservation of hematopoietic stem cells, 15 patients with gastrointestinal cancers were administered a tracer dose of 131I-MAb CC49. Within 5 to 6 days, 14 patients (two to three per activity level) underwent a single treatment with 131I-MAb CC49 (50, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 mCi/m2). Biodistribution was determined using planar and single photon emission computer tomographic (SPECT) imaging. Pharmacokinetic studies were performed by measuring radioactivity in serial blood samples. In some patients, biopsies of metastases and related normal tissues were obtained for radioactivity measurements. Radiation dosimetry estimates were calculated using available biodistribution, pharmacokinetic, and tissue biopsy data. Toxicity was evaluated using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria. RESULTS No dose-limiting extrahematopoietic toxicity was identified. Twelve patients experienced grade IV myelosuppression and met criteria for infusion of hematopoietic stem cells. Radioimmunolocalization was excellent. The T1/2 for 131I-MAb CC49 after diagnostic and therapeutic administration was 39.7 +/- 10.4 and 46.1 +/- 10.6 hours, respectively. The percent injected dose per killigram of tumor ranged from 0.2 to 2.1. Absorbed radiation dose in metastatic tumor sites ranged from 630 to 3300 cGy. CONCLUSION Although extrahematopoietic dose-limiting toxicity was neither observed or predicted, suboptimal absorbed dose estimates suggested that further escalation of 131I-MAb CC49 would not be useful. Future studies should focus on the use of radionuclides with high energy beta emissions, such as yttrium 90, and on strategies to optimize access of antibody to target antigens.
