Microcirculatory bed changes in Chernobyl NPS accident liquidators during follow-up period

Abstract

Mechanisms of microcirculatory vascular bed injuries in Chernobyl NPS accident liquidators are considered in the paper. Liquidators who participated in reconstructive works on the territory of nuclear power-station were influenced by non-considered weakly penetrating β-radiation and by registered hard γ-radiation in small doses. Chronic inflammatory process in skin vessels (chronic panangiitis) which is considered to be caused by soft β-radiation predetermines peculiarities of blood vessels’ recovery which were damaged by external γ-radiation.
