[Changes in functional organization of the respiratory system among residents of West Siberia in the winter season].

The study examines respiratory parameters in healthy young males from Western Siberia. The correlations between the parameters are analyzed and the functional structure of the respiratory system in the summer and in the winter is identified. It was discovered that different regulatory programs operate depending on the temperature of inhaled air.

[The peculiarities of the pulmonary acinus structure in the residents of Western Siberia].

Pulmonary acinus architectonics and parameters were studied in six men aged 19-27 years that permanently lived in the city of Novosibirsk. The study was conducted on the serial histological sections by using morphometry and volumetric graphic reconstruction of the acini. In a typical acinus, three generations of the respiratory bronchioles, four generations of the alveolar ducts, and one generation of the alveolar sacs (AS) were found.

[The increase of carbon dyoxidi production at hypoxia in health subjects].

Pulmonary gas exchange, SpO2 and heart rate at 15-min hypoxia (respiration by air with 0.17; 0.15 and 0.

[Changes in respiratory function tests of healthy miners in accordance with length of service].

The study covered respiratory function tests in healthy miners with variable length of service. Findings are that the first year of mining is characterized by slower interchange of gases in respiratory parts of lungs, by induced protective reaction that increases dilution of inspired air. The years from second to fifth demonstrate stabilized changes and external respiratory system fixed in new functional state kept over next 15-18 years.
