[Using of specialized food for the workers with skin occupational eczema of perlite production].

The research was conducted with participation of the perlite production workers with professional eczema (165 people in the main group and 152 from the control group without skin pathology). The effectiveness of the use of a specialized prophylactic food in the diet of workers was assessed on the basis of the study of the dynamics of the indicators of nutritional and clinical status. Inclusion of kissel, containing pectin, vitamin A (300% from RDA), vitamin E and zinc (40% from RDA), biologically active substances of plant origin in the diet of the examined against the background of the course of complex therapy, has resulted in a positive influence on individual laboratory values, demonstrating the optimization of metabolic processes, which characterize the pathogenesis of skin inflammation. Thus, the concentration of ascorbic acid in blood serum statistically significant (p<0.05) increased by 30.0%, tocopherol - by 36.3%, carotenoids - by 27.3%, phosphorus - by 28.9%, calcium level elevated by 16.3% (p<0.10). There was a decrease in the level of MDA in blood serum by 12.3% (p<0.05) and an increase in catalase activity by 12.2% (p>0.05). There was a tendency to reduce itching, infiltration, erythematous and eczematous manifestations of the disease. The data obtained make it possible to consider the use of a specialized food product of dietary preventive nutrition by workers in pearlite production as a mean to enhance the body's adaptive reserves and to prevent the occurrence, progression and development of occupational skin diseases (eczema) in the workplace.

Contemporary facilities of psychosocial factors use in occupational dorsopathies diagnosis.

Examination of 648 workers in ore mining and processing enterprises demonstrated role of psycho-social factors in diagnosis and development of occupationally conditioned dorsopathies, revealed the most important occupational and non-occupational factors influencing dorsopathies development. Findings also are clinical and psychologic criteria of health disorders in workers with occupationally conditioned dorsopathies. The authors suggested scientifically justified approaches to preventions of dorsopathies and to workers' health preservation.

[Features of immune response in chronic exposure to industrial aerosols].

There are considered features of disorders of the immune response in chronic exposure to dust aerosols. The detected changes of indices of the immune status of employees of the dust dangerous occupations and patients with chronic dust pathology of the lungs were unidirectional in the character, which is probably caused by manifestations of nonspecific response of the immune system to the dust factor. The deterioration of cellular immunity, humoral immunity and cytokine profile predisposes to the occurrence of immunopathologic states, contributing to the development of caused by both worksite and occupation pathology.

[THE HEALTH OF CHILDREN IN THE INDUSTRIALIZED REGION].

There was performed an assessment of the quality of the environment and the state of health of the child population of the one out of industrialized regions of the Moscow region. There were determined priority risk factors for diseases of the respiratory system and skin. The indices and the structure of morbidity rate were analyzed according to the incidence of outpatient visits. There was developed a comprehensive hygienic model for the preventive and therapeutic activities aimed at the improvement of the environment and reduction of the morbidity rate in children's population.
