[Mutagenic effect of the cytostatic drug thaliblastine on rat bone marrow cells when administered alone and in combination with radiation].

The cytogenetic analysis was performed in the bone marrow cells of Wistar rats treated with a therapeutic dose of thaliblastine (250 mg/kg) and exposed to gamma-rays (2 Gy). Thaliblastine alone induced chromosome aberrations and polyploid cells. The latter were the result of the stathmokinetic effect of the drug. In contrast to gamma-radiation of 2 Gy thaliblastine elicited a minor mutagenic effect. The cytogenetic effect of the combined treatment is greater than the sum of the two agents delivered separately, the maximum effect of radiation and thaliblastine being exhibited on the 8th and the 12th hour, respectively. The difference between the sum of aberrations after separate treatments and the yield of aberrations after the combined treatment is due to chromatid fragments.

[Effect of a constant magnetic field and gamma radiation on the hereditary structure of somatic cells. Effect of the combination of a constant magnetic field and ionizing radiation on human lymphocytes in vitro].

Samples of human whole blood were exposed in CMF (field induction, 0.3 T) for 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 120, 150, 180, 240, 300 or 360 min. 15 min following exposure, the samples were gamma-irradiated in a dose of 0.0516 C/kg (137Cs) at a dose rate of 1.95 A/kg. The following chromosome aberrations were scored: deletions dicentrics, rings, and symmetrical exchanges. Exposure of the blood in CMF for 15 to 360 min decreased radiation damage to cells as compared with unexposed irradiated samples. The extention of time from 15 to 180 min increases the effect the smallest amount of chromosome damages being scored at 150-180 min. A 2.8 - fold, 3 - fold and 3.5 - fold decrease was registered in the number of aberrant cells, deletions and dicentrics, respectively. With increasing time of exposure (240 min), the radiomodifying effect started decreasing, and with 300-360 min exposure it was the same as that observed at 15-45 min.
