V.F. Levshin, N.I. Slepchenko N.N. Blokhin Russian Cancer Research Center, Russia, 115478, Moscow, Kashirskoe avenue, 24, Abstract Introduction. Regular observational studies are necessary to successfully combat the tobaccoepidemic allowing to objectively assess the dynamics in the smoking behavior indicators of the population and the measurement effectiveness of the tobacco epidemic prevention. The aim of the study was to analyze the main characteristics of smoking behavior among the population and their changes before and after the adoption of the anti-smoking law. Material and methods. The population–based survey of Moscow adult citizens was conducted in 2017 – 2018, comprising 1020 people aged 18 – 81 years (meanage was 51, 71+14,27). The unified questionnaire on smoking behavior and history was used by qualified interviewers. In order to study the dynamics of smoking behavior among the population current smoking behavior indicators were compared with the result of previous similar surveys conducted before 2013, when the anti-smoking law was approved. Changes in smoking indicators were stratified by sex and age. Results. The percentage of current male smokers was 54, 2% (95% CI: 49% - 59%) and 27,3% of female smokers (95% CI: 24% - 31%), the highest percentage of malesmokers was in the middle age group- 30-49 years, - 65,7% (95% CI: 57% -75%) among female smokers in the young group up to 30 years – 45.2% (95% CI: 30% - 60%) Among the male smokers, smoking more than 20 cigarettes per day the highest percentage was observed in the age group over 49 years - 26.6% (95% CI: 19% -34%), at the age 30-49 years – 19.7% (95% CI: 10-29%) and under 30 years – 0%. The historical comparison of smoking behavior indicators of the population obtained from the surveys of the population conducted before and after the adoption of the anti-smoking law revealed a significant decrease in the prevalence and intensity of smoking in later years.
Conclusion. Despite a slight reduction in tobacco consumption among the population, the smoking prevalence in Russia remains one of the highest in the world. Campaign against the tobacco epidemic requires a long-term complex of the anti-smoking measures aimed to prevent and to stop smoking, and to achieve the decrease in smoking prevalence among population. Keywords :smoking prevalence, smoking intensity, quitting smoking, dynamics of smoking behavior.

Tuberculosis is one of the socially significant problems in the world and in Russia. The World Health Organization has developed a strategy of tuberculosis elimination for the period until 2035. In the Russian Federation, there is a tendency to reduce the incidence of tuberculosis and mortality from this infection. The aim of the study. Determination of epidemiological features of tuberculosis and prognosis of morbidity in the territories of the North-West of Russia. Materials and methods. Regional features of the incidence of tuberculosis in the territories of the North-West Federal District were studied for the period 2006-2018. Statistical data processing was performed using the WinPepi software product (version 11.65). To compare epidemiological indicators, a 95% confidence interval was used.. To predict the incidence rate, the ARIMA model was used taking into account existing trends. Results. In the last decade, there has been a tendency to reduce the incidence of tuberculosis in all territories of the North-West of Russia. In 2018, there was a statistically significant decrease in the incidence rate compared to 2015. In one area of the district, the incidence of combined infection caused by M. tuberculosis and HIV was higher than in other areas. In the three territories in 2010-2018, there was a tendency to increase the proportion of patients with a first-time diagnosis of tuberculosis caused by M. tuberculosis with multiple drug resistance.
The results of forecasting the incidence of tuberculosis in the territories of the North-West of Russia showed that in 2025 in two territories the incidence rate will be less than 5 per 100,000 population, in three territories - up to 10 per 100,000, in 5 territories - from 15 to 20 per 100,000, in one territory - up to 30 per 100,000. Conclusion. According to the results of the study, the possibility of achieving the target tuberculosis incidence rate recommended by the World Health Organization on the territory of the North-West Federal District of the Russian Federation in 2035 was established. Key words: Incidence of tuberculosis, multidrug resistance, prediction of morbidity.

Abstract Introduction: Arterial hypertension is one of the main independent risk factors for complications of cardiovascular disease patients. In the structure of cardiovascular diseases, the hypertension is considered in recent years to be a leading cause of disability and mortality of the working population associated with increased psycho-emotional stress, anxiety and depression. Insufficient attention was paid to factors affecting the disease outcome and the assessment of the cardiometabolic risk. The aim of the study was to analyze the correlation between the autonomic nervous system activity, blood cortisol and aldosterone levels, as well as blood clotting time and the grade of complications in the groups of male patients with hypertension having depressive and anxious temperament scores Materials and Methods: Able-bodied male patients working in industrial sector aged from 44 to62 were examined at outpatient facilities, who suffer from hypertension stage III, grade 3, risk 4. The referent group was recruited from healthy men 485 ± 6 (per year), with the anthroposocial characteristics similar to those in study patients. The patients were divided into 8 temperament groups: 4 groups with high-anxiety and 4 groups with low-anxiety patients, in each group were 52 ± 4 patients. It was determined the prevailing type of temperament and depression. The activity of sympathetic and parasympathetic components of the autonomic nervous system was determined according to the Kerdo vegetative index. Serum cortisol and aldosterone levels in the blood were determined by radioimmune method. The state of blood coagulation was evaluated by clotting profile blood test and bleeding time, and by the volume of activated partial thromboplastin time. Fibrinogen concentration in the serum, prothrombin index, platelet concentrations in blood were also defined. Results: The group of male patients of mature age suffering from arterial hypertension (grade III), according to their psychological characteristics, is heterogeneous and is divided into persons with high and low anxiety levels, mild depression and the prevalence of a particular type of temperament associated with the autonomic nervous system: choleric and sanguine characterized by the prevalence of activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (cortisol) axis
over the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (aldosterone) and sympathicotonia (for highly anxious individuals hypersympathicotony combined with anxiety), and for phlegmatic and melancholic –blood clotting time and the number of patients with complications of hypertension increases directly proportional to the increase of aldosterone concentration in the blood: melancholy > phlegmatic > sanguine > choleric. Conclusion: The correlation between hemostatic parameters and levels of aldosterone and cortisol in blood of patients with hypertension was established. It is advisable to prescribe antihypertensive therapy aimed at blocking the psychosomatic characteristics of patients, depending on the temperament and level of anxiety. Key words: arterial hypertension, anxiety, depression, complications, blood clotting, hormones.
