The analysis of atmospheric air pollution by fine particles in Kazan was carried out according to the database of social and hygienic monitoring of the FBUZ \"Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology in the Republic of Tatarstan\" for 2014-2020. To study the relationship between the level of atmospheric air pollution with fine particles and bronchial asthma in adults (18-65 years old), a retrospective analysis of the incidence of bronchial asthma (ICD-10 codes J45.0, J45.1, J45.8) was carried out during the same period among the population of Kazan. The regional medical information system \"Electronic Health of the Republic of Tatarstan\" was used. Statistical modeling was carried out using the method of mixed models based on the Poisson distribution or the negative binomial distribution. \u0000Results. The average annual absolute risk of bronchial asthma in the adult population of Kazan was 0.51 per 100 people aged 18-65 years, an increase of 0.09 per 100 people (17.6%) per year (p = 0.039). An increase in the annual maximum concentrations of PM2.5 by 10 g increased the absolute risk of non-allergic bronchial asthma by 0.066 per 100 people aged 18-65 years (p=0.043). Similar dependences, but without statistical significance at the level of p0.05, were found for such exposure parameters as the mass concentration of PM10 and the mass of particles deposited in the tracheobronchial and respiratory sections of the lungs. For allergic and mixed asthma, no statistically significant relationships with mass concentrations and deposited doses of suspended particles were found. \u0000Conclusions. Air pollution with fine suspended particles increases the risk of developing a non-allergic phenotype of adult bronchial asthma, which may be associated with specific pathogenetic mechanisms, including the reaction of the epithelium to the deposition of fine particles.","PeriodicalId":38121,"journal":{"name":"Ekologiya Cheloveka (Human Ecology)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89627096","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}

Reproductive health disorders in adolescent girls in the Kola North, the lack of studies of the physiological status of reproductive age girls living in the territory with high pollution by dust particles of apatite-nepheline ore, determine the relevance of this study, involving the identification of indicators of premorbid state. \u0000Objective. To estimate the physiological status of reproductive age girls living under chronic stress condition caused by exposure to anthropogenic and Arctic environment, to reveal possible prenosological deviations as indicators of premorbid state. \u0000Methods. The study design was an observational, analytic, cross-sectional, cohort study in 3 observational series: 2019, 2020, 2021, involving 54 female medical college students 16-20 years living in Apatity. Territorial morbidity of adolescents was analyzed on the basis of data from the MIAC of the Murmansk Regional Clinical Hospital named after P.A. Bayandin. Physiological status was assessed on the basis of the content of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical system (HPACS) hormones, metabolites of lipid peroxidation, antioxidant protection (AOP), vitamin D, lipids, carbohydrates using percentile distribution of indicator values. Significance of the differences was determined by Mann-Whitney U test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, t-criterion for independent samples. \u0000Results. It was shown that morbidity in adolescents with circulatory system diseases, skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases (atopic dermatitis), urogenital system diseases in Apatity exceeds corresponding values in other industrial polluted territories of the Murmansk region. Early effects of chronic exposure of the body to dust particles were revealed in more than 25% of the girls, which manifested themselves in increased secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone, cortisol, thyrotropic hormone, in decreased somatotropic hormone, thyroxine, in reduced content of AOS enzymes. Hypovitaminosis of vitamin D was detected in 95% of girls, low values of low density lipoproteins was found in 50% of girls. \u0000Conclusion. Pre-nosological deviations of the physiological status in the conditions of technogenic pollution testify to the oppression of the body's protective systems and are predictors of morbidity and are subject to individual correction.","PeriodicalId":38121,"journal":{"name":"Ekologiya Cheloveka (Human Ecology)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88166976","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 population living in geochemical provinces is often subject to pathological conditions caused by a lack, excess or imbalance of macro- and microelements. This study was carried out in the Republic of Bashkortostan in areas of natural and man-made anomalies with excessive content of heavy metals in the environment. \u0000AIM: To analyze the demographic profile and assess the reproductive health of the population of the Trans-Ural zone of the Republic of Bashkortostan. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: A descriptive ecological study of the trend of reproductive health of the population of the Trans-Ural zone of the Republic of Bashkortostan was carried out using average population indicators. Statistical data presented in the open press by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Bashkortostan for the 20002020 period were used. These data included demographic indicators, infant mortality, frequency of congenital malformations, and morbidity of children within the first year of life. \u0000RESULTS: In all the areas studied, there was a tendency for a decrease in the birth rate and an increase in the mortality rate. The highest average birth rate of 19.8 was recorded in the Burzyansky District and the lowest of 13.1 in the Zilairsky District, which was higher than the republican average of 12.4. During the study period, there was a significant decrease in infant mortality both in the republic and in the Trans-Urals regions. Average infant mortality rates relative to congenital malformations among newborns in the Sibay, Baymaksky, and Zianchurinsky Districts as well as the relative risk of blood diseases in children of the first year of life in most of the studied areas was higher than the average republican level. \u0000CONCLUSION: Reproductive health of the population of Sibay for the period 20002020 is exposed to a higher risk of congenital malformations and infant mortality than the average republican level. In the Baymaksky, Zianchurinsky, Uchalinsky and Khaibullinsky Districts, the risk of developing blood diseases in children within the first year of life was higher than the average republican level. The results further indicate the need to take measures to reduce risks and improve the safety of reproductive health of the population of the mining region.","PeriodicalId":38121,"journal":{"name":"Ekologiya Cheloveka (Human Ecology)","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83690490","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}

Alcohol abuse has a significant impact on a person's health. Ethanol consumption by a human may affect the length of chromosome telomeres on the cellular level.

An association of alcohol consumption with shortening of telomeres has been shown in some studies with certain populations, including individuals with alcohol abuse, alcohol dependence and some genetic variants of alcohol metabolism enzymes but not in the general population.
