[Modern aspects of training general practitioners (family doctor) in preventive medicine].

The experience of forming a preventive trend in the general practitioner (family doctor) approach in the context of the Bologna process in Europe has been studied. To stimulate a student's reason to apprehend hygienic approach in their future practice, written tests and tasks for the ongoing and interim control, which are similar to the tests of the final state exam on hygienehave been developed. These tests and tasks have been introduced in educational process.

[Treatment of mild and moderate hypertension with enalapril (multicenter study of enap and enap N in Ukraine)].

Aim: Assessment of efficiency and safety of enalapril (enap) and its combination with hydrochlorotiaside (enap-N).

Materials And Methods: 127 patients with mild and moderate blood hypertension entered an open non-comparative multicenter trial. 60 of them received enap (group 1), 67--enap N (group 2).

[The hygienic validation of the recommended values for fluoride consumption for the adult population].

In trial with 21 health volunteers aged 40 +/- 1.8 years during 21 days was shown that the level of fluoride intake meeting the requirement all participants taking into account the interindividual variations in requirement must be 1.8 mg per day.

[Health survey of nitrate load in preschool institutions].

Consumption of nitrates with plant food, milk and water was studied in pre-schoolchildren aged 4-6 years going to pre-school institutions. Contents of nitrates were higher than maximum permissible level in 25.3% of food samples.

[The correction of the fluorine load in caries].

The authors discuss the problem of fluorine load correction in caries. They claim that fluorine load of the body as regards caries prevention should never surpass the safe levels of total daily fluorine consumption. In children aged over 4 the safe level of total daily fluorine consumption is 2.

[Characteristics of lipid metabolism in deep mine workers and the ways of its alimentary correction].

Lipid and antioxidant state of clinically normal subjects working in deep mines was studied under natural conditions during one month. Disorders in lipid metabolism and intensified peroxidation were recorded in these subjects. A prophylactic ration has been recommended considering the food status, alimentary risk factors and extreme conditions of miners' labour.

[Use of the pulsimetric method for estimating energy value of food rations for miners in deep coal mines].

Pulsimetry proved to be the most acceptable method for estimating energy requirements of miners working under extreme conditions with constantly changing ergometric parameters. It has been established that the mean daily energy requirements of miners working in deep coal mines under conditions of high temperature comprise 3500 kcal. Energy requirements for the main types of the physical activity of workers in deep mines have been calculated, basing on basal metabolism, metabolic constants for varying activities have been determined.

[Physiologic energy requirements of miners working in deep coal mines].

A time course study of energy balance was conducted in miners working in deep coal mines under a strict control of their nutrition using the method of estimating the energy value of food received and body mass. It has been established that mean daily energy requirement of a "standard" miner (body mass--70 kg, age--25-35 years) comprises 16529.7 kJ (3950.

[Clinical evaluation of intestinal absorption and use of potassium iodide in order to increase effectiveness of therapeutic measures in pneumoconiosis of coal miners].

The article deals with the effectiveness of alimentary enterosorbents (apple paste fibres) and iodine preparations (potassium iodide) in the complex treatment of pneumoconiosis-diseased miners. The use of the substances in combination with routine drug therapy increased the effectiveness of the treatment procedures. Simplicity of the proposed technique for detoxication and the functional systems' improvement, diet-based dosage regulation make the technique useful for both treatment and prevention purposes.

[The vitamin status of miners working at deep levels and its correction].

Providing with ascorbic acid, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and niacin was studied in miners at deep levels before and after intake of correcting doses of vitamins. Enrichment of the food ration with vitamins produced a positive effect on the working capacity of the miners under study. The levels of vitamin consumption (vitamin-energy coefficients) have been estimated correcting the vitamin balance in miners working at deep levels.

[Data on the exact definition of standards for physiological energy requirements for the adult population capable of working].

It has been shown that there is no necessity in dividing the population capable of working into groups according to their age, as gradual ontogenetic decrease in the cellular metabolism takes place in the presence of parallel physiological growth of body mass. The authors have divided the population capable of working into groups of intensive work depending on their daily energy requirement, with an interval of 400 kcal. It is recommended that the data presented be used for the development of an exactly defined variant of physiological nutrition standards.

[Ways of improving the diet therapy of industrial workers].

A conceptual model of the organizational system of the diet therapy of workers at industrial enterprises has been developed. The system analysis permitted the authors to reveal its ineffective components and to outline the ways for their correction. Approbation of the system at industrial enterprises contributed to the improvement of the social-medical and social-economic effectiveness of the diet therapy under industrial conditions.

[Dietary fiber content of diets of the Don Basin population].

It has been demonstrated that the total content of food fibers in the daily diet of the Donbas population diets amounts to 24.0-26.3 g (cellulose 5.
