    Objective To comprehensively evaluate the radiation protection of 177Lu-Dotatate therapy, and to provide a reference for standardizing and restraining patient behavior and activities after discharge and establishing relevant standards. Methods The radiation protection of 177Lu-Dotatate therapy started with the infusion of radiopharmaceuticals. The time points of each event in daily activities during and after therapy were listed in a chronological order, as well asthe persons with possible radiation exposure and their contact distance and contact duration in each event. The in vivo pharmacokinetic data in the instructions of 177Lu-Dotatate were used to estimate 177Lu activity in the patient’s body at each time point, and the formula for radiation dose in GBZ 120—2020 was used to estimate the radiation dose of the patient on the persons around him/her. Results 177Lu-Dotatate was administered to the patient at a dose of 7400 MBq when the patient attended the outpatient service or was hospitalized for treatment. The cumulative radiation dose was calculated for the medical staff, the public, colleagues, caregivers, adult family members, and the family members of children aged 3~10 years, and the measures for standardizing and restraining the patient’s behaviors were given when the dose constraint value for related persons in national standard was met. The conditions for realizing the requirement in national standard that pregnant women and family members aged < 3 years should avoid contact was also proposed in this article. Conclusion From the perspective of radiation protection, under the premise of standardizing and restraining the behavior of patients treated with177Lu-Dotatate after discharge, both ambulatory treatment and hospitalization are safe and feasible; if the activities of patients are no restrained after discharge, the radiation dose for family members, the public, and colleagues might exceed the dose limits or constraint values in relevant national standards.

    In this paper, the characteristics, clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria and treatment principles of acute and chronic radiation skin injury caused by external irradiation were analyzed based on domestic and foreign literatures, newly formulated national occupational health standards and the author's clinical experience, etc., which provide basis for timely treatment and standardized diagnosis and treatment of radiation skin injury. Acute radioactive skin injury is divided into Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ degrees according to the size and clinical manifestations of the irradiated dose. The clinical course of these four degrees of acute radioactive skin injury not only showed the association between dosage and injury, but also showed the obvious phases of severe radiation injury. Early dose estimation through skin injury degree is helpful for rapid and accurate diagnosis, early prediction of lesion severity and decision of treatment strategy. Chronic radioactive skin injury is caused by long-term exposure to low-dose radiation due to occupational reasons; Another reason is prolonged formation of acute radioactive skin injury, which divided into Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ degree. It is only classified according to the degree of skin injury and has no strict dose-effect relationship with the radiation received. The treatment of acute and chronic radioactive skin injury is different according to the degree of injury. Local conservative treatment and surgical treatment using repair methods all consider the promotion effect of systemic treatment on wound healing.

    Uranium is an important radioactive actinide in nature and an important nuclear material in nuclear industry. After uranium is accidentally released into the environment, it enters the body through the respiratory tract, the digestive tract, and other ways, then enters the circulation system through blood, and is finally mainly deposited in the kidney and bone, causing a certain degree of toxicity. Therefore, efficient low-toxicity chelators are an important way to reduce radionuclide pollution, radiation damage, and chemical toxicity. This article reviews uranium deposition and harm, the detoxification mechanism of uranium chelators, and the research advances in uranium chelators and points out the development trend of uranium chelators.

    Skin is the first organ of contact with ionizing radiation. Radiation-induced skin injury is common because the basal cell layer and capillaries of the skin are very sensitive to radiation. Acute radiation-induced skin injury primarily involves cellular alterations and inflammation in the epidermis and dermis, and late skin injury is mainly related to the effect of radiation on blood vessels. Clinical manifestations of radiation-induced skin injury include erythema, dry desquamation, moist desquamation, and ulceration in the skin mucosa, and the severity is related to the type and dose of radiation. Currently, the underlying mechanisms of radiation-induced skin injury are largely unknown, and the gold standard for the treatment of radiation injury has not been established. The known mechanisms of radiation-induced skin injury can be roughly divided into three pathways: oxidative stress injury caused by excessive production of reactive oxygen species, inflammation triggered by transcriptional activation of cytokines, and immune response evoked by bone marrow-derived cells. This paper reviews the three major pathways of mechanisms of radiation-induced skin injury, giving a reference for further mechanism study and preventive treatment of radiation-induced skin injury.
