ABSTRACT
In accordance with contemporary legislation, the article covers materials on specification and approbation of concept model for psychophysiologic examination in medical establishments during medical examination of workers engaged into production with raidation and nuclear danger. The authors defined methodology, examination methods and designed an order of psychophysiologic examination. The psychophysiologic examination and purpose-oriented rehabilitation appeared efficient.

Berylliosis and plutonium pneumosclerosis patients appeared to have two types of pulmonary hypertension: hypervolemic and hypertonic ones. Hypervolemic type of pulmonary circulation was revealed in 31.7% of berylliosis patients and in 53.8% of plutonium pneumosclerosis patients. Hypertonic type of pulmonary circulation was seen in 68.3% of berylliosis patients and in 46.2% of plutonium pneumosclerosis patients mainly at stages II and III. Berylliosis and plutonium pneumosclerosis patients are subjects for early pulmonary hypertension--moderate in most patients at stage I and high at stage II and III. Pulmonary hypertension is a main pathogenetic factor underlying chronic corpulmonale formation.

The paper is concerned with analysis of the results of clinico-electrocardiographic investigation of 107 rescuers, engaged in the elimination of the effects of the Chernobyl accident. A high percent (27.2%) of the detectability of borderline arterial hypertension was noted among the rescuers (aged to 39) that was determined by a strong psychoemotional tension resulting from work and radiation phobia.

The cardiovascular system was analysed in 157 patients with Hodgkin's disease in a prolonged remission after radiation therapy including irradiation of the mediastinum. The revealed myocardial changes were equally often noted in different irradiation volumes of the heart within the range of 31 to 45 Gy. The number of changes was growing with time. Functional disorders of the pulmonary, hepatic and capillary vessels were also revealed.
