In the course of a retrospective epidemiological study according to the annual forms No. 2 of the state statistical observation (SOS) for 2011-2021 a comparative analysis of the incidence of ARI and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in various groups of the population of the AK, the Siberian federal district (SFD) and the population of the Russian Federation as a whole was carried out.

The intra-annual dynamics of the incidence of ARI and CAP in the AK were studied using the method of trend-seasonal decomposition according to the monthly forms No. 2 of the SOS.Results and discussion. It is established that in 2011–2021. the epidemic process of ARI in the AK was characterized by a higher level and rate of increase in the incidence of all population groups (adults and children, urban and rural) compared to the all-Russian and average for the Siberian Federal District; a higher proportion of children in the overall structure of ARI cases, despite the fact that the proportion of the child population did not exceed (or was even less) than in other regions; no decrease in the incidence of ARI in children in the period 2020–2021; the presence of a trend towards an increase in the incidence of ARI in both urban and rural residents in the pre-covid period; higher incidence in the rural population in 2011–2019 compared to the whole of the Russian Federation or the Siberian Federal District. A less pronounced role of the seasonal component in the registration of CAP was revealed, in comparison with ARI. In some years, an increase in the registration of CAP was observed in the spring-summer period. For 2020-2021 there was a close coincidence of the curves of the intra-annual dynamics of the registered incidence of ARI and COVID-19 among the general population, CAP and COVID-19.Conclusion.

To assess the main characteristics of the new trivalent vaccine Bubo®-Unigep (CJSC NPC «COMBIOTECH»), a doubleblind, comparative, randomized, multicenter clinical trial was conducted in two parallel groups in previously unvaccinated individuals in an adult healthy population (n = 166) according to a protocol developed by the contract research organization «R&D Pharma».Results. The assessment of hematological and biochemical parameters during screening and the administration of vaccine preparations showed that in the individuals included in the study, the studied indicators were within the boundaries of the normal range.

A division was carried out by quartiles of standardized (world standard) indicators of the incidence of tracheal, bronchial, lung MN per 100 thousand male population in the subjects of the Russian Federation in 2020. Statistical processing – MS Office Excel 2019, Statistica 10.Results. Irkutsk, Orenburg, Rostov region, Moscow,federal districts of the Russian Federation were selected for the study (based on the quartile division). Long-term analysis (10-year period) of morbidity and mortality from MN of the trachea, bronchi, lungs in men aged 40 to 65 years in the Federal District, selected subjects and the Russian Federation as a whole, showed a moderately pronounced downward trend. Despite this, the indicators remain at a high level.Conclusion. The influence of harmful production factors on the development of MN is recognized in the Russian Federation in a very small number of cases, and therefore the true incidence rate is higher than the registered one. It is necessary to significantly improve the quality of detection of occupational diseases, as well as to optimize preventive measures aimed at preventing the harmful effects of production factors on the health of workers. Further detailed study of the role of individual factors of harmful industries on the development of tracheal, bronchial and lung diseases is required.","PeriodicalId":11736,"journal":{"name":"Epidemiology and Vaccinal Prevention","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79141155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
