Objective:
The objective is to study the influence of physiotherapy and balneotherapy on initial vegetative tone at persons, residing in stressful situations, according to the heart rate variability.

Materials and methods:
The study was performed on 156 participants of armed conflict, the men aged 22-44 years (average age 29.2±0.6 years). All patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the treatment complex. Each group was divided more on four according the original vegetative tone, defined by ECG examination.

Results:
The research of the dynamics of indexes of the vegetative nervous system by ECG examination before and after treatment with complex I found in the group of patients with original vegetative tone (IWT) hypersympathicotoniya (I) increase dX (p<0.05). At the same time decreased AMo (p<0.001) and the tension index (TI) of the body regulatory systems (p<0.001). When treating complex II in patients with IWT hypersympathicotoniya significant changes were not revealed.

In patients with IWT vagotoniya after a course of therapy with complex I observed reliable decrease dX (p<0.01), with a simultaneous increase AMo (p<0.01) and TI almost in three times. When exposed to a complex II it was shown a significant reduction of the parasympathetic influence (dX was decreased by 24%), but it is observed the simpatic increase (AMo at p<0.05) and the strengthening of centralization (TI was increased in 2 times) that demonstrates mobilization of the organism and physiological level of functioning.

Conclusion:
1. In persons long staying in stressful situations, pathophysiological shifts of regulatory systems observed.

2. Treatment with complex I, including galvanized neck area and the overall pearl baths leads to reduced activity of the sympathetic adrenal system and the central element of regulation.

3. Treatment with complex II, including quantum therapy and general radon baths leads to activation of central regulation mechanisms and the reduction of the impact of the vagus nerve.

Objective
The objective is to analyze the basic health indicators of workers in Ozersk enterprises that are in contact with harmful and/or dangerous production factors and are subject to medical monitoring in the system of industrial health.

Material and methods
The analysis of the basic indicators of health was conducted according to the official medical statistics of Central Medical and Sanitary Unit №71. Classification of diseases was made according to International Classification of Diseases-10. In order to establish the strength of the statistical connections the method of correlation analysis and pair correlation index (r) were used. For calculations and graphs standard statistical package Microsoft Excel was applied.

Results
At the analysis of the main indicators of the health of workers observed in the system of industrial health, in dynamics for 2000-2008 a positive trend was set in the decrease in morbidity rates (r= - 0.78), the primary disease (r= - 0.40), primary disability (r= - 0.6) and mortality rate (r= - 0.8). The reduction in the prevalence of socially significant diseases such as diseases characterized by high blood pressure, and coronary heart disease was noted. In addition, in respect of such diseases as bronchial asthma, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer the tendencies to reduction of both prevalence and incidence were noticed. On the indicators of primary incidence in the XII-th class of diseases (Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue) the steady tendency to growth (r = 0.9) is marked, and on prevalence indicators a steady tendency to decrease is noted (r = - 0.8) that can testify to growth of forms of the diseases which aren't under dispensary supervision. The same dynamics, but with less expression is typical to infectious and parasitic diseases (I class).

Conclusions
A steady trend towards reduction in the prevalence of all of these diseases can be regarded as a positive moment in the aspect of reduction of quantity of workers that potentially have a general medical contraindications to up-to start in contact with harmful, dangerous substances and production factors (Annex 4 to Order of Ministry of Health and the order MP RF dated 14.03.1996 № 90).

Objective
The objective is to evaluate the immune status of the employees responsible for destruction of chemical weapons and working in the premises where there is a potential health hazard of lewisite affection.

Material and methods
In 2007 237 employees of the facility for destruction of chemical weapons in Kambarka underwent blood tests for research. These samples were mixed with stabilizers and put into containers. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, the number of leukocytes and leukocyte formula were defined; Kalf−Khalif's intoxication leukocyte index, phagocyte activity and absorbing ability of neutrophils, metabolic activity of neutrophils in nitroblue tetrazolium test (NBT) were determined. Indicators of a humoral immunity: immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin M, immunoglobulin G, α-factor of tumor necrosis, γ-interferon, interleykin-Iβ, interleykin-4 were analyzed in serum by method of the immunofermental analysis (IFA).

Results
Even when working in the regular mode of production, the organism of the workers is in the conditions of the increased physiological load due to performing work in the isolating means of protection. The destruction of tanks containing lewisite represents the extreme danger because of possibility of emergency situations and, consequently, the ability of acute poisoning by lewisite and its degradation products. The immune system is the most susceptible to the impact of foreign agents. Therefore, the detection of immunotoxic effects in workers of facility for destruction of lewisite is an actual problem. In this respect, the particular interest is the evaluation of the concentration of cytokines that perform a leading role in regulation of the immune response [1]. As a result of research of indicators of the immune status of the persons which are working and not working in the conditions of potential contact with a lewisite it wasn't revealed reliable differences.

Conclusions
Obtained results indicate that technical measures aimed to prevent from chemical contamination of the working environment and the application of efficient insulating means of individual protection provide prevention of lewisite and its products industrial intoxication among workers of the destruction facility of chemical weapons in Kambarka city.

Objective
The objective is to study the efficacy and safety of the use of biocidal based coatings based on interpolymer polyhexamethyleneguanidine hydrochloride (PHMGH) and chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSM) for disinfection and conservation of drinking water, equipment protection against microorganisms.

Material and methods
Biocidal lacquer, representing a solution of interpolymer polyhexamethyleneguanidine hydrochloride (PHMGH) and chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSM) in the solvent, was applied to a primed steel plate. After firming the lacquer at 70°C samples of interpolymer different coatings containing from 9.5% to 30% of the associated PHMGH were received.

Water resistance and other physical and chemical properties of samples of coverings (adhesion, relative hardness, explosive durability and elasticity) were examined. 6 samples of coverings containing from 9.5% to 19% of bound PHMGH were selected; these samples were water resistant, their efficiency as to test culture (E. Coli) in the water environment was defined.

Based on the trials, a sample of interpolymer covering with optimum structure that combines water resistance and biocidal activity against E. Coli was selected. The effectiveness of optimum structure covering was observed for equipment protection against microorganisms and disinfection of the water, contaminated by test-cultures Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas cepaciae, Salmonella enteritidis, Bacillus globigii (bacteria and spores). The concentration of test-microorganisms in water samples and washouts from the surface was determined by the standard of medical and biological preparations named after L.A. Tarasevich (in triplicates with calculation of average sizes and confidential intervals).

The opportunity of water conservation above interpolymer coating (observation period amounted to 420 days) was investigated.
Toxicological characteristics of the water, contacting with biocidal covering, were determined according to the chemical analysis, as well as using biotesting on Daphnia (Daphnia magna Straus).

Results
The optimal composition of interpolymer covering is PHMGH / CSM = 19:81%, combining water resistance and efficacy against the test organisms. It is shown that in the water environment covering has a strong bactericidal activity against E. Coli, Bacillus globigii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enteritidis, Pseudomonas cepaciae and weak sporicidal action against of Bacillus globigii.

It was established that preventing secondary microbial contamination of drinking water and surfaces is not hazardous in contact with drinking water, because in the water above the covering free PHMGH doesn't exceed maximum permissible concentration (1 mg/l). This fact is confirmed by the biological test results with Daphnia.

Conclusions
Interpolymer covering PHMGH / CSM can be used to prevent microbial contamination of water and also for equipment protection against microorganisms.
