[Evaluation of immunological responsiveness in female students during an academic year].
Examining 17 untrained female students and 110 trained ones indicated that moderate exercises as aerobic ones did not exert a great impact on most parameters of cellular and humoral immunity. Exclusions were higher absolute counts of B lymphocytes in the trained students than those in the untrained ones at the end of an academic year (in spring). Despite their activity, all the female students were found to have seasonal variations in some immunological parameters. Among other things, the content of immunoglobulins (primarily classes G and A) dropped in winter and particularly in spring as compared to autumn; on the contrary, the parameters of phagocytosis significantly increased in winter versus autumn, then fell in spring months as compared to winter; vive versa, the count of circulating immune complexes substantially reduced in winter as compared with autumn, then showing a trend for an increase in spring, at the end of an academic year.

[Analysis of causes of allergic diseases in the children of the Republic of Tatarstan].
The incidence of allergic diseases in children from poor ecological areas in the towns Nizhnekamsk, Kazan, and Almetyevsk, and in the rural settlement of Kukmor was studied. Allergic skin diseases in the children were shown to prevail in the structure of allergies despite the place of their residence. ⋯ A correlation analysis has shown that there is a definite association of the incidence of allergic diseases and their prevalence with the characteristics of ambient air pollution. The findings suggest that measures reducing allergic diseases and environment pollution in these towns should be introduced.

[Factors influencing morbidity rates in preschool children in the city of Orsk].
The comparative contribution of environmental factors to morbidity among the preschoolchildren of the town of Orsk was studied by applying currently available methods. Great morbidity is favoured by toxicosis during maternal second-half pregnancy, the poor health status of neonatal babies at birth and by the end of the first year of life, going to the nurseries where vegetable and calorie diets are not observed, the location of kindergartens in the areas with high traffic, high ambient air pollution with sulfuric anhydride and acid, and with substandard drinking water quality. Lower morbidity in children is in turn promoted by greater quantities of vegetables and fruits in the meals both at home and in the nurseries and kindergartens, over 2-month breast feeding, no adverse working conditions in their parents, as well as implementation of conditioning procedures in children.
