Morphological Evaluation of the Influence of the Peptide Complex from Tissue of Porcine Kidneys on the Experimental Urolithiasis.

We performed morphological analysis of the effect of the peptide complex from porcine kidneys on the course of experimental urolithiasis modeled in rats by treatment with 1% ethylene glycol solution (in drinking water) for 6 weeks. The peptide complex obtained by acetic acid extraction was administered in a dose of 15 mg. Administration of the peptide complex to animals with experimental kidney stone disease leads to 100% destruction of large and medium stones to the "dust" granularity.

[Hygienic assessment of the radiation risk of radon emanation in the Altai Krai].

The unique climatic and geographical location of the Altai Krai determines the specific radiation dose load for the population, which is composed of the complex of radiological indices, the structure of which is largely dependent on the type of locality and, to a greater extent due to the action of radon, which is currently the main source of internal radiation of the population of upland districts and adjacent territories. There was performed a hygienic assessment of the radiation risk and the expected decline in life expectancy and population health due to radon exposure in the model areas of the Altai Krai. To calculate the additional risk there were used some models for radiation risk extrapolation: a risk constant model, model GSF (Jacobi's model), Lubin model (TSE/AGE/WL) and BEIR VI model for smoking and nonsmoking population, as well as the combined model. The lowest values of the radiation risk and the expected decline in life expectancy are typical for Charyshsko-Ust-Kalmanskaya zone, the maximum--for Kuryinsko--Pospelikhinskaya zone.

[The regional factors determining the formation of childhood disability in the Altai Krai].

Disability is one of the main indices of public health of the population. Disability rates indices for children can be applied in the study of public health of population and for determination of the influence of the array of the health-promoting factors. As a result of the performed studies it is possible to consider some regional regularities for the formation of childhood disability and the role of a number of factors in its formation.

[Hygienic evaluation of the efficacy of the regional program of the modernization of school meals (on the example of Altai Krai)].

With the use of the method for the analysis of the frequency of food intake there was studied the actual nutrition in adolescents at the age of 12-17 years (n = 257) who were the students of the urban and rural educational institutions (EI) of Altai Krai. The analysis of the menu-layout and assessment of nutritional status was performed with the use of clinical methods. The main group consisted of 125 adolescents from the EI with upgraded technological equipment of the nutrition unit, the comparison group--132 teenagers from EI with non-upgraded equipment of the nutrition department. The program of the modernization of school meals was implemented in several ways and included the reconstruction and technical re-equipment of school nutrition units on the base of modern technologies, delivery and introduction in accordance with the requirements of the school menu, differentiated by age groups with the use of food products aimed at the prevention of diseases caused by micronutrient deficiency. This led to the enlargement of the assortment of dishes, the increase of the coverage for catering students, improvement of the structure of student nutrition, the increased in the intake of a number of nutrients. Symptoms of skin lesions associated with insufficient provision of micronutrients in a core group of students occurred less common than in the comparison group (p < 0.01).

[The actual incidence of the population in the RF subject: assessment of economic effect (losses)].

In the paper there is presented an analysis and evaluation of the economic losses associated with the actual incidence of the population of the Altai Region on disease classes "Poisoning by drugs, medicaments and biological substances" (T36-T50) and "Toxic effect of substances, mainly non-medical purpose" (T51-T65), including the assessment of the underproduced product in economy of the region in monetary terms, assessment changes in cash flows on the budgets of the Russian Federation (tax receipts). The time period of analysis on disease classes is 5 years (2007-2011).

[Efficiency of iodine and selenium enriched drinking water use to prevent deficiency states in population of the Altai Territory].

Numerous epidemiological studies suggest that there is an association between the quality of drinking water and human health. The Altai Territory is a biogeochemical province characterized by deficiency of many trace elements, including iodine and selenium. The measures implemented in organized children's collectives to prevent iodine- and selenium-enriched deficiency states, by providing the supply of drinking waters enriched with iodine and selenium, have demonstrated a more marked effect in preventing iodine deficiency states than that of the water corrected only for the iodine composition.

[Avian flu in Altay territory].

The avian flu epizootia among wild waterfowl and poultry in personal farmsteads is described. In 38.9% of tests from a sectioning material from bird's mass destruction the genetic materials of a influenza virus type A (H5N1), and in 24% of tests of serum antibodies to a influenza virus type A (H5N1) in diagnostic titers are revealed. It is carried out serological monitoring among workers of integrated poultry farms and the population. Activation of epizootic process in second half of summer and is predicted by Autumn, 2006. For the prevention of distribution of disease among birds and infection of the person carrying out of a complex of the actions directed on creation of quarantine for a wild waterfowl and restriction of contacts to a poultry, and on vaccine prevention from annual 100% immunization of workers of integrated poultry farms is necessary.

[Medical and demographic assessment of human health under conditions of radiation and toxic exposures]. / Mediko-demograficheskaia otsenka zdorov'ia naseleniia v usloviiakh radiatsionno-toksicheskikh vozdeistvii..

Medical and demographic assessments of the impact of a complex of man-made and radiation exposures on the population of the Altai territory revealed that the use of retrospective diagnosis of radiation exposures of Semipalatinsk ground testing and the account of additional exposures to combined effects of dioxines, heavy metals, rocket fluel components (heptyl, etc.), which are observed in specially identified former administrative areas of this territory in causing specific changes in the health status of neonates, pregnant females, and able bodied individuals are of priority in sociosanitary monitoring of sanitary and epidemiological service.
