[Clinical and pathomorphological features of chronic prostatitis in chemical industry workers].

During periodic screening on the chemical industry, an increased incidence of chronic prostatitis in workers at sulfuric acid section was revealed. Detailed examination has revealed features of the clinical picture of the pathological process that develops in the prostate gland of workers exposed to harmful labor conditions. Complex pathomorphologic analysis of prostate biopsies of workers with chronic abacterial prostatitis found fundamental differences of morphological manifestations observed in other forms of chronic prostatitis.

Ultrastructural Analysis of the Prostate Gland under the Effect of Factors of Chemical Industry.

We analyzed ultrastruciture of the cell populations in the prostate gland in chronic nonbacterial prostatitis in a chemical industry worker. It was shown that ultrastructural reorganization of the epithelium consisted in reduction of the secretory compartment of the cytoplasm and dystrophic-degenerative changes in cell organelles. Endothelial cells of the capillaries showed signs of significant degeneration and low intensity of micropinocytosis.

Bioimpedancemetry in the diagnostics of inflammatory process in the mammary gland.

The changes in mammary gland bioimpedance were examined in the dynamics of the inflammatory process. Bioimpedance of affected gland was 2-3-fold lower than that of the contralateral one; normally, this difference did not exceed 10%. The phases of inflammation development were paralleled by changes in bioimpedance.
