ABSTRACT
Using the method of laser correlation spectroscopy of biological fluids (blood serum, urine, oropharyngeal washout fluid) we studied the types of metabolic shifts in workers employed in nuclear fuel complex plant. In was found that the incidence of catabolic shifts considerably increased in workers with higher level of occupational exposure. In individuals contacting with open radiation sources we found the contribution of anabolic immunomodifying shifts with predominance of autoimmune sensibilization. A risk group for blood diseases was identified.

The device Transair-01 was used for transcranial electrostimulation (three courses) in 83 patients with occupational hypoacusis caused by intensive noise. The acoustic function examination with speech and pure tone threshold audiometry showed hearing improvement in the majority of the patients, especially in mild and moderate hypoacusis. Hearing improved by one degree.

Noise at work impairs hearing with consequent occupational neurosensory deafness and general health disorders. Transcranial electric stimulation betters hearing and improves the workers' general state.
