Trends in chronic allergic bronchopulmonary diseases in children from radionuclide-polluted regions
Abstract
After the Chernobyl accident, exposure to penetrating radiation and inhalation of inspired air radionuclides has led to the changed function of respiratory organs and promoted the altered development and course of chronic allergic bronchopulmonary diseases. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the clinical state of respiratory organs and to assess the results of immunological examination in children living in the regions with different levels of radionuclide pollutants after the Chernobyl accident. Eighty-nine children aged 3 to 17 years with asthma and allergic bronchitis: 53 children living in the radionuchde-polluted regions of the Bryansk Region (a study group) and 36 matched case-control children residing in the radiation-free regions of the Bryansk and Moscow Regions (a comparison group) were examined. Respiratory pattern parameters (an acoustic component of respiratory performance in different frequency ranges) were estimated; the levels of immunoglobulins (IgA, IgE, IgM, and IgG) and circulating immune complexes (CIC), the dose of radioactive radiation exposure, and the surface activity of radionuclides were determined in the areas where the patients lived. The investigators established the staging of chronic allergic bronchopulmonary diseases, which was characterized by a decrease in their prevalence within the first 6—8 years after the Chernobyl accident, followed by an increase and simultaneous discordance in the prevalence of infectious diseases associated with a change in the immune system (T-and B-cell components, CIC, and local immune system). Asthma progression suggests that the pattern of respiratory system function is arduous in the children from radionuclide-polluted regions. The altered correlations between the respiratory pattern and immunological parameters status suggest that the radiation factor is implicated in the development of asthma. Of the most informative value are the indicators characterizing the acoustic components of high- and moderate-frequency bronchophonography.
