Changes in the levels of fatty acids (FA), reflecting the specifics of metabolic disorders in workers with vibration disease (VD), and persons with VD aggravated by metabolic syndrome (MS) have not been studied enough. Mass spectrometric study of the composition of FA in VD patients and cases suffered from VD in combination with MS seems justified, since these compounds can be included in the formation of disorders at the early stages of changes in health status under the influence of adverse factors, which will later establish significant prognostic indicators.&#x0D; Materials and methods. The levels of esterified and free forms of fatty acids: saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in blood plasma, were determined on an Agilent 7890A/5975C gas chromatograph.&#x0D; Results. The FA composition was studied in the surveyed cohort of people in vibration-hazardous occupations with a diagnosis of VD and VD+MS established in the clinic. Significant shifts in the FA levels were established, in VD + MS patients there was an increase in the concentrations of myristic, pentadecanoic, palmitic, margaric, stearic acids and ΣSFA when compared with VD patients. For all MUFAs and for ΣMUFA, large values were observed for the VD + MS group (p<0.001 to 0.027). For PUFAs, significant differences were noted in relation to the level of: α-linolenic, eicosatrienoic and eicosapentaenoic acids ω-3, total ω-3 PUFAs, linoleic, γ-linolenic and dihomo-γ-linolenic acids ω-6, total ω-6 PUFAs and total all PUFAs.&#x0D; Limitations. The results apply to sixty six vibration-hazardous occupations surveyed. The influence of experience and dietary preferences on the FA composition in blood plasma has not been studied.&#x0D; Conclusion. A study of the quantitative FA indicators in the blood plasma showed the total indicators of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids in persons with VD+MS to be higher than in VD patients by 1.36, 1.33 and 1.12 times, respectively.","PeriodicalId":12550,"journal":{"name":"Gigiena i sanitariia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136104949","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}

The maximum concentration of total cholesterol (TCH) was 8.7 mmol/L, cholesterol (CH) of low density lipoproteins (LDL) – 6.0 mmol/L, triglycerides (TG) – 2.3 mmol/L, phospholipids – 5.5 mmol/L. The minimum content of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL cholesterol) was 0.5 mmol/L. In terms of the prevalence of disorders, hypercholesterolemia held the first place – 63% of cases, the second – a high level of LDL cholesterol – 59%, the third – an increase in ApoB – 45%. Hyperphospholipidemia occurred in 35%, hypertriglyceridemia – in 23%. Reduced HDL cholesterol was recorded in 5.3%. Low concentration of Apo A1 was registered in 20% of cases. A high level of atherogenic index was common among 16%. The prevalence of high LDL-CH was consistent with that of hypercholesterolemia, as evidenced by the correlation coefficient between the indices (R=0.77) and between the level of TCH and Apo B (R=0.80). A HDL cholesterol high level does not always indicate the antiatherogenic ability of lipoproteins, and therefore the revealed low prevalence of hypoalphacholesterolemia in the examined individuals (lower than in Russia - 16%) does not indicate antiatherogenic changes. The triglyceridemia level was associated with the ApoB concentration, which indicates its contribution to the development of proatherogenic disorders. A possible mechanism of hyperphospholipidemia is the formation of a compensatory-adaptive stimulus to the phospholipids synthesis in response to hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia.&#x0D; Limitations.

A study of sixty four boatmasters was conducted before, in the middle and at the end of navigation. To achieve the purpose of the study, qualitative and quantitative indicators of psychophysiological status (Choice response, Mobility of nervous processes using a dynamometer) and the functioning of the cardiovascular system under physical exertion (Harvard step test) were studied. The research was carried out using a computer complex for psychophysiological testing “NS-Psychotest”. The results were processed using the Statistica v. 10 software package. The studied indicators are presented qualitatively, by frequency distribution in accordance with their severity in different periods of observation. The point estimate is supplemented with a 95% confidence interval, which was calculated by the Wilson method.
