Comparative Study[Dioxins and medical-genetic indices of health of residents of the town of Chapayevsk].
The paper presents the results of an integrated medical genetic survey carried out in the town of Chapayevsk. The survey included an estimation of the incidence of congenital malformations (CMF), congenital morphogenetic options (CMGO), evaluation of the frequency of chromosomal mutations of various types and micronuclei in human somatic cells. ⋯ Cytogenetic findings unambiguously demonstrate that there was a spatial gradient within the town (from the plant to remote districts), higher rates of chromosomal aberrations. Further studies of the effects of dioxins on genetic health are required to assess the actual genetic risk due to its human contact.

Comparative Study[Sociomedical aspects of reduction of risk in the development of occupational diseases and industrial trauma in railway transport].
The paper outlines the main constituents of occupational risk in railway workers, which are based on the sanitary and biomedical criteria of injury safety. Sociomedical aspects of the incidence of railway occupational diseases and injuries are discussed. A list of major occupational factors and causes that determine a high occupational risk in railway workers is given.

Comparative Study[Better registration of occupational diseases among railway workers].
The paper provides a scientific rationale for that it is necessary to improve the existing state statistic records, such as [symbol: see text] No. 125/Y "Occupational Disease or Intoxication Recording Schedule". The document fails to obtain "accumulated" data on the incidence of occupational diseases (OD), changes in the health status and working ability, to make an analysis of relationships between the working conditions and the development of OD. The "Schedule" has been improved, which records data on a patient rather than a diagnosis. The schedule is a final recording document, a sectorial register of railway occupational diseases, and it is of departmental character.

[Connection between changes in the nasal and mouth mucosa with immune status under the effect of environmental factors].
The paper summarizes the results of determination of the cytological status of nasal and oral mucosae in 789 preschool and school children from different cities and towns of the Russian Federation: Moscow, Klimovsk, Yaroslavl. A relationship between the mucosae, immunity, and morbidity, and environmental pollution is shown in the town of Klimovsk as an example.
