[The hygienic validation of the recommended values for fluoride consumption for the adult population]. / Gigienicheskoe obosnovanie rekomenuemykh velichin potrebleniia ftoridov dlia vzroslogo naseleniia.

In trial with 21 health volunteers aged 40 +/- 1.8 years during 21 days was shown that the level of fluoride intake meeting the requirement all participants taking into account the interindividual variations in requirement must be 1.8 mg per day. The range of variation of homeostatic dose for fluoride make up 1.5-1.8 mg. The higher level (up to 4 mg/day) of fluoride intake has no medical or biological advisabilities.

[Characteristics of lipid metabolism in deep mine workers and the ways of its alimentary correction]. / Osobennosti metabolizma lipidov u gornorabochikh glubokikh shakht i puti ego alimentarnoi korrektsii.

Lipid and antioxidant state of clinically normal subjects working in deep mines was studied under natural conditions during one month. Disorders in lipid metabolism and intensified peroxidation were recorded in these subjects. A prophylactic ration has been recommended considering the food status, alimentary risk factors and extreme conditions of miners' labour.

[Use of the pulsimetric method for estimating energy value of food rations for miners in deep coal mines]. / Primenenie metoda pul'sometrii dlia opredeleniia energeticheskoi tsennosti ratsionov podzemnykh rabochikh glubokikh ugol'nykh shakht.

Pulsimetry proved to be the most acceptable method for estimating energy requirements of miners working under extreme conditions with constantly changing ergometric parameters. It has been established that the mean daily energy requirements of miners working in deep coal mines under conditions of high temperature comprise 3500 kcal. Energy requirements for the main types of the physical activity of workers in deep mines have been calculated, basing on basal metabolism, metabolic constants for varying activities have been determined.

[Physiologic energy requirements of miners working in deep coal mines]. / Fiziologicheskaia potrebnost' v énergii gornorabochikh glubokikh ugol'nykh shakht.

A time course study of energy balance was conducted in miners working in deep coal mines under a strict control of their nutrition using the method of estimating the energy value of food received and body mass. It has been established that mean daily energy requirement of a "standard" miner (body mass--70 kg, age--25-35 years) comprises 16529.7 kJ (3950.7 kcal) under conditions of fulfillment of the standard output, 6-hour working day, 2 days off.

[Clinical evaluation of intestinal absorption and use of potassium iodide in order to increase effectiveness of therapeutic measures in pneumoconiosis of coal miners]. / Klinicheskaia otsenka ispol'zovaniia énterosorbtsii i iodida kaliia s tsel'iu povysheniia éffektivnosti terapevticheskikh meropriiatii pri pnevmokonioze ugol'shchikov.

The article deals with the effectiveness of alimentary enterosorbents (apple paste fibres) and iodine preparations (potassium iodide) in the complex treatment of pneumoconiosis-diseased miners. The use of the substances in combination with routine drug therapy increased the effectiveness of the treatment procedures. Simplicity of the proposed technique for detoxication and the functional systems' improvement, diet-based dosage regulation make the technique useful for both treatment and prevention purposes.

[The vitamin status of miners working at deep levels and its correction]. / Vitaminnyi status shakterov glubokikh gorizontov i ego korrektsiia.

Providing with ascorbic acid, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and niacin was studied in miners at deep levels before and after intake of correcting doses of vitamins. Enrichment of the food ration with vitamins produced a positive effect on the working capacity of the miners under study. The levels of vitamin consumption (vitamin-energy coefficients) have been estimated correcting the vitamin balance in miners working at deep levels.

[Data on the exact definition of standards for physiological energy requirements for the adult population capable of working]. / Materialy k utochneniiu norm fiziologicheskikh potrebnostei v énergii dlia vzroslogo trudosposobnogo naseleniia.

It has been shown that there is no necessity in dividing the population capable of working into groups according to their age, as gradual ontogenetic decrease in the cellular metabolism takes place in the presence of parallel physiological growth of body mass. The authors have divided the population capable of working into groups of intensive work depending on their daily energy requirement, with an interval of 400 kcal. It is recommended that the data presented be used for the development of an exactly defined variant of physiological nutrition standards.

[Dietary fiber content of diets of the Don Basin population]. / Soderzhanie pishchevykh volokon v ratsionakh pitaniia naseleniia Donbassa.

It has been demonstrated that the total content of food fibers in the daily diet of the Donbas population diets amounts to 24.0-26.3 g (cellulose 5.9-6.7 g, pectin 2.0-2.7 g, hemicellulose 16.1-16.9 g). Baked goods account for the major part of hemicellulose (about 85%) and 1/3 of cellulose. Potato and vegetables (fruit) account for half of pectin and 1/3 of cellulose. The daily requirement of cellulose and pectin was satisfied by about 1/3, which is accounted for by a high relative significance of refined products (about 60% of the diet caloric value).
