ABSTRACT
There was performed the identification of risk factors at the production of synthetic rubbers, priority factor of them is chemical. Results of researches testify to need of continuous monitoring of exposure of chemicals on atmospheric air of the residential territory for the purpose of securance of hygienic and ecological safety of the city.

The WHO approved protocol of pandemic influenza virus A/H1N1 identification by the method of one-step RT-PCR was adopted. The cost of research was decreased due to adoption of RNA purification method and utilizing of the common enzyme systems for RT-PCR.

Immunological examinations of 40 children with papillomatosis and chronic cicatricial stenosis of the larynx included measurements of circulating immune complexes (CIC) and lysozyme in the saliva and serum as well as complement activity in serum. The examinations were performed regularly during treatment. It was found that immunobiological factors played an important part in the pathogenesis of papillomatosis and cicatricial stenosis of the larynx in children. It was shown that CIC and lysozyme concentrations in the saliva and serum as well as complement activity in serum increased. In the course of treatment all the groups displayed an increase of lysozyme in the saliva; patients with papillomatosis showed a decrease of the CIC concentration and those with cicatricial stenosis a decline of complement activity in serum. Involvement of the autoimmune component in the pathogenesis of the above diseases is discussed. Applicability of the results for controlling the therapeutic efficacy and predicting the outcome of diseases is considered.

Blood serum and salivary characteristics of immunobiologic reactivity were examined in children suffering from psoriasis. Increased blood serum levels of IgG and lowered IgM were detected. Lysozyme and complement levels were increased both in the blood serum and saliva.
