[Effectiveness of glutamate in the treatment of early manifestations of occupational fluorosis].

Efficiency of glutamic acid for therapy of early signs of occupational fluorosis was studied in workers engaged into cryolite production. The study proved that use of glutamic acid in occupational conditions prevents progressing of metabolic disorders. The results encourage recommendations to include glutamate into therapeutic and prophylactic nutrition of workers exposed to fluor compounds, into nutritive additions according to special recipe.

[The clinical manifestations of chronic exposure to a heating microclimate in metal and forge workers].

Comprehensive examination of 177 workers and screening of more than 2000 workers exposed to heating microclimate revealed the possibility of chronic overheating in some workers and provided the description of its clinical manifestations. Vasoneurosis, myocardiodystrophia and metabolic disorders are the keys to developing of the disease characterized by a rotative course.

[The clinical characteristics of the early stages of occupational fluorosis under the combined and joint action of production factors].

Over 1000 workers of hydrofluoric and cryolite enterprises and electrolysis shops of aluminium enterprises were examined. Subjects exposed to soluble hydrofluorides presented in the early stage of chronic intoxication with a variety of syndromes, that was characteristic of intoxication with poisons of general toxic action with involvement of hepatobiliary, digestive, circulatory and autonomic nervous systems. Combined exposure to fluoric compounds, heating microclimate and electromagnetic fields results in a graver involvement of the circulatory and autonomic nervous systems.

[Changes of various factors of nonspecific humoral immunity in acute dysentery].

The level of total Enterobacterial Enterotoxins of the blood serum, of beta-lysins, lysozyme activity, complement and normal antibodies were studied in 191 patients with acute Flexner dysentery and in 285 patients with acute Sonne dysentery, depending on the period of the disease, its severity, the treatment applied, and the species of the causative agent. The level of the nonspecific humoral immunity factors increased before the treatment and its normalization depended on the treatment applied.
