[Influence of the technogenic environment on health new-borns infant children in Lugansk region].

The aim of the work was to evaluate the health of new-borns born to mothers who lived constantly influenced of the technogenic environmentat on health infant children in Luhansk region. We exameded evaluation of the influence of the technogenic environmental factors on the health of 1119 children in Alchevsk city, Perevalsk town with mining towns and rural villages of Perevalsky area of Lugansk region and Zhovtnev district of Lugansk region. The children were measured in anthropometric studies conducted body length, body weight, chest circumference and the head. Evaluation of the physical development of the children carried tsentilnym method. Prior to discharge from the hospital new-borns divided into three main groups--healthy, risk group, pathology. Also we have done the analysis of the statistical information on the health status of all newborns administrative units Lugansk region. Found that the percentage of new-borns with normal anthropometric variables (from 3 to 97 centile), body length and head circumference was significantly higher in rural areas Perevalsky area with more favorable environmental conditions compared to the industrial city of Alchevsk. New-borns with abnormal significantly higher in women who are domiciled in the city of Alchevsk (19.01% ± 1.44%) under the impact of emissions components ferrous metallurgy and coke-chemical, compared with Perevalskiy and mining towns (13.82% ± 2.20%), as well as rural villages Perevalsky area (11.90% ± 2.89%). Over the period 2004-2011, the incidence of congenital anomalies of new-borns weighing 1000 g or more (per 1000 live births and stillbirths) were significantly higher in the industrial cities of Luhansk region--19.70 ± 0.61 compared with rural areas--15.51 ± 0.73. The incidence of this pathology is one of the highest in Alchevsk--31.88 ± 2.48, which was significantly higher than.in urban areas, as well as in the whole of Luhansk region--19.13 ± 0.55. Therefore, the health of new-born babies is determined by man-made ecological environment of life. The preventive recommendations are developed.

[The method for studying of the "magnetic vacuum" effect on color memory in humans].

The method for studying the effects of weak magnetic fields and "magnetic vacuum" on the psychophysiological state of a human organism is proposed. This method includes the system of the exposure of a human organism to uniform constant and alternating magnetic fields and the system of computerized psychological tests. The influence of the weakening of constant magnetic field on the psychophysiological state of human organisms was studied. The short-term color memory and reaction rates of 30 subjects have been examined in the local geomagnetic field and in a magnetic field which was reduced in 10 and more times. Statistically significant differences in the color memory test was found in the magnetic field 4 +/- 1 microT in comparison with the results in the geomagnetic field. In the magnetic field 0 +/- 1 microT, slight impairment of color memory was found. Preliminary results in the test of reaction rates showed the tendency to slowing down the reaction rates in the weakened magnetic fields.

[A computer method for the evaluation of Paramecium motor activity using video records of their movement]. / Komp'iuternyi metod otsenki parametrov dvigatel'noi aktivnosti infuzorii s ispol'zovaniem videozapisi ikh dvizhenii.

A method for the evaluation of Paramecium caudatum motility was proposed as a tool for the investigation of magnetobiological as well as other physical and chemical effects. The microscopically observed movement of paramecia is recorded and processed using a special software program. The protozoan motility is determined as a function of their mean velocity in a definite time. The main advantages of the method are that it is easily modified for determining various characteristics of the motor activity of paramecia and that the video data obtained can be reused.

[The effect of air pollution on the frequency of the visits of the population of an industrial city for medical first aid]. / Vliianie zagriaznenii atmosfernogo vozdukha na chastotu obrashchaemosti naseleniia promyshlennogo goroda na skoroi meditsinskoi pomoshch'iu.

Significant increase in the rate of applying for emergency medical care has been been established on days on which high atmospheric air pollution levels are recorded as compared with more "clean" days in the city with its large works of ferrous metallurgy, by-product coke industry and construction industry (civil engineering), the above fact being accounted for by compromised state of the respiratory system in children between the ages of 3 to 7 years.

[Caries prevalence in preschool children in industrial cities]. / Rasprostranennost' kariesa u detei doshkol'nogo vozrasta promyshlennykh gorodov.

Caries incidence was analyzed in preschool children attending kindergartens living in two industrial towns differing by the level and specific features of air pollution and by fluorine levels in potable water. Caries incidence was found to be higher in a ferrous metallurgy center with very low (0.1 to 0.3 ml/l) fluorine levels in potable water. Passive smoking factor was found to contribute to development of caries in children, particularly so in girls. Motor car transport effects on caries development in children were not confirmed. Recommendations on reduction of caries development intensity are suggested.
