Development and progress features of vibration syndrome (VS) and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) are determined by genetic factors to a certain extent. The latter define the relevance of the search for individual approaches to  prevention and medical support of patients with these occupational diseases. \u0000The aim of the study was to investigate the genotypes distribution of polymorphic loci of candidate genes in patients with occupational diseases caused by vibration and noise impact. \u0000Materials and methods. Polymorphic variants of the HSPA1B (rs1061581), IL17A (rs2275913), IL10 (rs1800872), and TNF-α (rs1800629) genes of three hundred ninety eight males were studied using PCR-RFLP and real-time PCR methods, including 268  patients with VS divided into two groups: VShtv (n = 117) and VScomb (n = 151), in which VS was caused by exposure to hand-transmitted vibration (HTV) or combined exposure to HTV and whole-body vibration (COMB), respectively. The study also involved 96 patients with occupational NIHL diagnosis and 34 individuals of the comparison group without occupational contact with physical factors. \u0000Results. The increase in GG-HSPA1B (1267A/G) genotype frequency  (p=0.058) was found in VScomb patients compared with those from the VShtv group. There was a significant difference in carriers of the C/C genotype of the IL10 (rs1800872) polymorphic locus in the group of NIHL patients relative to the comparison group (p=0.036). The results of regression analysis indicate the carriage of the A allele to reduce the risk of NIHL development. \u0000Limitations. The limitations include the number of examined cases in all groups, especially in comparison group and the lack of groups of workers with no occupational exposure to a physical factor.   \u0000Conclusion.

To prevent cardiovascular accidents and preserve the employability in workers in the pivotal occupations of the coal and aluminum industries it is required timely identification of risk groups for long-term asymptomatic damage to the atherosclerotic process of the arteries. \u0000Material and methods. The study included two hundred twenty two miners and 109 workers in the aluminum industry aged of 40–55 years (average age of miners – 47.1 ± 0.36 years, metallurgists – 47.64 ± 0.43 years, р = 0.367). All subjects underwent ultrasound investigation of the carotid and femoral arteries. Also anamnestic, anthropometric data, the presence of arterial hypertension, indices of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism were evaluated. \u0000Results. Miners were more often diagnosed with intimal thickening (41.9% vs. 27.5%, p = 0.011), in contrast to aluminum production workers, who were significantly more likely to have atherosclerotic plaques (57.8% vs. 43.2%, p = 0.0127). The frequency of generally accepted risk factors for atherosclerosis in both occupational cohorts (arterial hypertension, smoking, carbohydrate metabolism disorders, physical inactivity, obesity) was detected without significant differences. Miners with atherosclerosis were diagnosed with significantly higher average values of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, metallurgists with atherosclerosis showed hypertriglyceridemia. \u0000Limitations. The study was limited by the number of the examined persons undergoing periodic medical examination at the Research Institute for Complex Problems of Hygiene and Occupational Diseases. \u0000Conclusion. A more significant lesion of the main arteries in the form of atherosclerotic plaques with varying degrees of stenosis was found in aluminum production workers compared to miners, which was probably due to the more aggressive influence of harmful production factors in metallurgists.

Autonomic disorders in the form of autonomic neuropathy develop in vibration disease already at the early stages. As the disease progresses, the compensatory mechanisms of autonomic regulation are depleted, which leads to a worse prognosis for life and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death in patients with a severe degree of autonomic neuropathy. \u0000The aim of the study was to evaluate the severity of autonomic disorders and the preservation of compensatory reserves of autonomic regulation in patients with vibration disease. \u0000Materials and methods. One hundred thirty six miners with a proven diagnosis of vibration disease and 60 apparently healthy men of similar age without complaints and who had never worked under the conditions of exposure to industrial vibration were examined. Heart rate variability was analyzed at rest and during an active orthostatic test. \u0000Results. A decrease in the spectral parameters of heart rate variability in the patients with vibration disease was revealed. In a subgroup of the patients with an initially low level of very low frequency oscillations (less than 30 ms2/Hz), a decrease in the non-linear entropy index (less than 180) was determined; when performing an active orthostatic test, the power of very low frequency spectrum oscillations in the patients of this subgroup decreased by more than 50% of the initial values. In all patients with vibration disease under orthostatic load, a decrease in the oscillations of high and low frequencies of the spectrum of heart rate variability was revealed, whereas in the control group, the low frequency oscillation power remained at the initial level. \u0000Limitations. The study was limited to the evaluation of spectral and non-linear indices of heart rate variability in 136 miners with vibration disease. \u0000Conclusion. The criteria for a severe course of autonomic neuropathy in the patients with vibration disease were identified: an initial decrease in the power of very low frequency oscillations and a non-linear entropy index of heart rate variability, as well as a decrease in the power of very low frequency oscillations by more than 50% during an orthostatic test.

Campylobacteriosis is one of the most common diarrhea-associated infections over the world. The situation is getting worse along with increasing cases of the disease caused by the Campylobacter spp. pathogen resistant to antimicrobials (AMPs). Preventing the disease requires monitoring the spread of resistant Campylobacter strains isolated from both sick people and animals, food, and water. \u0000Aim of the study is to evaluate the results of the antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Campylobacter according to the requirements of the EUCAST and CLSI methodologies using Russia-made nutrient media. \u0000Materials and methods. Collected and freshly isolated strains of C. jejuni, C. coli, C. fetus and C. lari were used. Campylobacter cultures were subcultured on Campylobacter Agar Base (HiMedia), Preston laboratory-produced medium and iron-erythritol blood agar (Obolensk). Their sensitivity to AMPs was determined by three methods as ffollows: disc diffusion, gradient diffusion and microdilutions using Mueller-Hinton agar, and broth of two manufacturers (BD BBL and Obolensk) according to EUCAST and CLSI. \u0000Results. Using Russian-made and imported Mueller-Hinton agar and broth allowed obtaining identical results for AMPs susceptibility of Campylobacter spp. The campylobacter strains were attributed to the same susceptibility category by all three methods in frame of any methodology (EUCAST or CLSI) when interpreting results. Due to differences in cutoffs of MIC and inhibition zone diameters in the EUCAST and CLSI standards, there were some differences in the interpretation of the results. \u0000Limitations. Eight strains of four species Campylobacter were tested for their susceptibility to three antimicrobials by three methods according to EUCAST and CLSI methodology. \u0000Conclusion.

The conditions of real peat smoke were reproduced for 40 minutes with a CO concentration of 99±2.5 mg/m3 with using of experimental bio modelling. The genotoxicity of peat fire smoke after exposure to male white rats was assessed by the occurrence of DNA damage in blood cells using the DNA comet method in the alkaline version.
