ABSTRACT
Sociosanitary monitoring evaluates the detected changes and predicts the health status of the population and its environment, establishes and eliminates its adverse human impact. Long-term sociological surveys for tuberculosis among the population of the Primorye Territory have revealed lower awareness in a young age group. Systemic antituberculosis propaganda, lectures with video films, discussions, questionnaire surveys in groups of young people will provide a more profound insight into the causes of tuberculosis, into the methods of its early detection and prevention. The results of questionnaire survey have been used in developing guidelines and differential programmes.

Two-stage immunological examination was performed in 59 subjects aged 12-55 years from 27 families with respiratory pathology in three generations. Their proband had chronic bronchitis. Prognostic estimation of changes in the immune status was made with matrix statistic analysis. The findings show heterogenic characteristics of physiological systems of the examinees from families with chronic bronchitis and non-uniform metabolic processes leading to respiratory pathology and allergic diseases. Disorders in immunologic homeostasis in the descendants of the probands with chronic bronchitis, chief signs in pathogenesis of chronic bronchitis in three generations, essential immunological factors in allergic persons are outlined.

45 allergic patients were treated in gastrointestinal sanatorium. Balneological and speleo modalities were employed. The clinical symptoms and humoral immunity indicated high efficacy of such treatment. The complex is recommended for introduction in gastrointestinal sanatoria.

An analysis of 53 patients with unspecific pulmonary diseases revealed changes of the main immunity values that were more pronounced in the older age groups. It was established that autotransfusion of UV-irradiated blood produced a normalizing effect on immunity values. The authors recommend this method in the clinical practice of unspecific pulmonary diseases, in particular, of the older age groups and intolerance of drug therapy.
