Knowledge of adaptation options on the example of the reactivity of cerebral energy metabolism (CEM) under stress is important for determining the features of the development of vibration disease in the comorbid course of diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2), the success of recovery in the rehabilitation period. \u0000Objective of the study was adaptation options using the example of cerebral energy metabolism reactivity under stress in individuals with vibration disease caused by the simultaneous effect of local and general vibration (SLGV) and type 2 diabetes mellitus. \u0000Materials and methods. Features of adaptation under stress were studied by the method of neuroenergy mapping with the measurement of the level of constant potential (DC-potential level). Groups were formed: I (n = 94) – patients with SLGV, II (n = 38) – with comorbid pathology (SLGV and DM 2), III (n = 39) – with DM2. \u0000Results. More than 60% of all examined patients were established to be characterized by a rigid response to physical and emotional stress. Adequate CEM recovery reaction in the posthyperventilation period in the predominant number of cases was observed only in group I. In patients of group II, perverse (39%) and rigid (32%) reactions of recovery of DC-potential level were more common, group III – perverted and excessive response (33 % and 28%, respectively), characterizing the disorder of physiological adaptation in the presence of DM2. \u0000Limitations. The limitations of the work are presented in the form of a brief description of working conditions, lack of study of the impact of industrial noise on cerebral hemodynamics, insufficient depth of the study of foreign literature materials on the issue under study. \u0000Conclusion. The comorbid course SLGV and DM2 causes a persistent impairment of adaptation to stress, which is confirmed by the rigidity of the \u0000DC-potential level in response to hyperventilation, quick verbal response test, and the inadequacy of response during the restoration of neuroenergy exchange in the posthyperventilation period.","PeriodicalId":12550,"journal":{"name":"Gigiena i sanitariia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42527653","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}

Acrylamide, used in industry, is also formed in foods during high temperature processing. Acrylamide has a toxic effect on the nervous, reproductive, and other systems of the body, due to carcinogenic and genotoxic properties. Considering sufficiently serious threat of acrylamide to human health, it is relevant to carry out further fundamental research to study the mechanism of its impact on the body and the possibility of treatment of lesions caused by it. \u0000The aims of this study is to assess morphological changes in the liver of experimental animals under acute acrylamide intoxication and study the possibility of their preventive treatment with complex compounds based on oxymethyluracil. \u0000Materials and methods. Experimental studies on the subacute effects of acrylamide at a dose of 20 mg/kg on the histological structure of the liver were carried out on outbred female rats. The efficiency of preventive administration of complex compounds of oxymethyluracil with ascorbic acid, with sodium succinate and acetylcysteine ​​was also studied. \u0000Results. Exposure to acrylamide for 28 days at a dose of 20 mg/kg of body weight in experimental rats, has been established to cause minor morphological changes in the structure of the liver: only focal cellular infiltrates were found in the centrilobular zones.

Azorubine E122 (Carmoisine, Food Red 3) monoazo dye is used in the manufacture of desserts, caramels, sweets, marmalades, ice cream, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, etc. The safety assessment of food additives includes the study of genotoxic potential. At the same time, for substances with a high or a small but long-term exposure (including food additives), in vivo tests are required. \u0000Materials and methods. The genotoxic activity of aqueous solutions of synthetic food azo dyes E122 Azorubin was studied by the micronuclear method on bone marrow cells in mice (males, hybrids F1 CBA × C57Bl6/j). The studied substances were injected into the stomach of mice at doses of 250–2000 mg/kg twice with an interval of 24 hours, with the preparation of bone marrow preparations 24 hours after the last administration. The frequency of micronucleated (MN) polychromatophilic erythrocytes (PCEs) was estimated on the base of the results of the analysis of 4000 PСЕ. The proportion of PСE among all red blood cells was determined by analyzing 500 cells per animal. \u0000Results. There was no statistically significant increase in the frequency of PCE with MN over the current control with a double administration of Azorubine in all studied doses. After exposure at doses of 1000 and 2000 mg/kg, the incidence of MN PCEs slightly exceeded the upper limit of the 95% CI of the accumulated negative control and the effect was dose-dependent and statistically significant, which does not allow recognizing the answer as clearly negative. \u0000Limitations of the study are due to the methodology of the test: only cytogenetic disorders in a single tissue were analyzed under conditions of double enteral administration of the studied sample. \u0000Conclusion.

Staff responses were analyzed using SPSS to conduct the study. \u0000Results. were the In workers of medical institutions in Ghana, leading infectious diseases were malaria, hepatitis B, and tuberculosis, non-infectious morbidity was associated with diseases of the circulatory system. The peak of infectious diseases among medical workers was recorded in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the same year, due to limited screening diagnostics, the lowest incidence of non-communicable diseases was noted. Habits such as smoking (6.9%) and excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages (35.8%) are common among healthcare workers in Ghana, which are a high risk of developing non-communicable diseases (smoking – p < 0.001, excessive drinking – p < 0.001 ). \u0000Discussion. According to the results of our research, the level of morbidity of medical personnel in medical institutions in Ghana was found to be high. This correlates with data reflecting the situation in Russian healthcare. However, the structure of the causes of temporary disability of the personnel of medical institutions in the two countries differs. The infectious morbidity of medical workers in Ghana has its own characteristics: high rates are noted for HIV infection, parenteral viral hepatitis, tuberculosis, and malaria. Infectious diseases were the leading cause of death for healthcare workers in 2019–2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, both in Ghana and elsewhere. We found that the unified guidelines for labour protection in medical institutions in Ghana have not been developed and are not applied, which significantly distinguishes them from Russian ones. \u0000Research limitations.

The studies were carried out in 2014–2022. The objects of study were the intestines of eighteen dog corpses slaughtered in compliance with the International Rules for Humane Treatment of Animals (2012), and the liver and lungs of 150 slaughtered sheep. Monitoring of echinococcosis in dogs and sheep was carried out by the method of complete helminthological dissection of organs and tissues according to K.I. Scriabin (1928). The number of taeniid-type eggs in the faeces of dogs and in 500 water samples of the basin of the river Kuban was determined according to the guidelines of Temporary norms and rules (1986). Data on the incidence of cystic echinococcosis in the population are summarized on the base of a comparative analysis of quarterly and annual reports of the sanitary medical services in 7 subjects of the North Caucasus Federal District with the materials of the State reports of the Federal Service for Supervision in Protection of the Rights of Consumer and Man Wellbeing of Russia. \u0000Results. The index of occurrence of invasion of the cystic form of echinococcus in the liver, lungs, and spleen in sheep in the planar zone was 18%, in the foothill zone – 24%, in the mountain zone – 28% (on average, about 25%). Transparent cysts of echinococcus extracted from the liver, lungs, and other organs of sheep contained protoscolexes in 100% of the samples, which indicates the likelihood of natural foci involving dogs and wild predators in the region, violations of the terms of deworming of priotary dogs, lack of sanitary and preventive work among the population. The region belongs to the group of subjects with low rates of zoonoses due to effective anti-epidemic measures.

High-performance liquid chromatography with triple quadrupole mass detector (HPLC-MS/MS) was used to identify and quantify pesticide active substances. According to the method of analysis MUK 4.1.3657–20, cryogenic grinding of samples was carried out in a cutter using dry ice. Sample preparation was carried out using the QuEChERS technology.

The Ames test has been widely used to study the mutagenicity of chemicals. In view of the implementation of a quality management system in the test facilities, the cultural, morphological and biochemical properties of strains used in the Salmonella/microsome test system were studied. An assessment of their applicability as additional characteristics of quality of the tester strain was made.&#x0D; Materials and methods. The study of cultural and morphological characteristics of S. typhimurium strains was carried out using the commercial media. &#x0D; The biochemical properties of S. typhimurium cultures were evaluated using a Vitek-2 system.&#x0D; Results. Studies have shown that the procedure of marker verification for confirming the reference properties of tester strains, in addition to evaluation of the spontaneous mutation level and phenotypic characteristics (-his phenotype, the presence or absence of the R-factor plasmids, rfa- and ∆uvrB mutations), can be extended by periodically assessing their biochemical properties. Most of the biochemical characteristics of bacteria of the Salmonella typhimurium serovar are inherent for tester strains. Compared to the wild-type bacteria atypical features of tester strains are a negative reaction in the hydrogen sulfide production test, positive activity of tyrosine arylamidase, the ability to utilize 5-keto-D-gluconate, unstable activity of alpha-galactosidase. Differential selective media used to maintain wild-type Salmonella cultures are not universal for the growth of strains of the Salmonella/microsome test system. When choosing media for cytotoxicity, survival, or sterility assessment, it is necessary to take into consideration the growth characteristics of the Salmonella tester strains on different media: the ability to grow on selective media decreases in the series of Endo-agar &gt; Salmonella Shigella -agar &gt; Bismuth-sulfite agar &gt; Ploskirev’s agar.&#x0D; Limitations. The research is limited to the study of cultural, morphological and biochemical characteristics of S. typhimurium, but not Escherichia coli.&#x0D; Conclusion. The described cultural and morphological properties of tested strains on different media can be used to assess cytotoxicity/survival of treated cultures performing studies according to OECD 471. The use of additional biochemical markers of authenticity and morphological properties of tester strains will help to ensure the quality of studies using the Ames test in the processes of conservation, reproduction, and routine testing.","PeriodicalId":12550,"journal":{"name":"Gigiena i sanitariia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135398483","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}
