North-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov, Russia, 191015, Saint-Petersburg, Kirochnaya street, 41 Abstract Introduction. Changes in the modern system of medical education make high demands on the professionalism of teaching staff of higher and secondary medical education, as well as on their health due to the increased intensity of emotional, sensory, and intellectual loads. Aim of the study wasto assess the health status of the teachers of medical university and college based on the results of medical examinations and a questionnaire survey. Materials and methods. The assessment of the health status of teaching staff is based on the analysis of the results of a medical examination and data from a questionnaire screening. Results and discussion. The results of the questionnaire screening revealed that the majority of teachers do not consider themselves healthy (73.3%). There is a high prevalence of health complaints, caused by a critical attitude to their health and professional knowledge. Analysis results of the medical examination showed that diseases were observed in 85.7% of teachers (95% CI 80.3-89.8). The indicator of pathological disease incidence was 279.4 cases per 100 examined patients. The structure of pathological lesions was dominated by the circulatory system diseases, diseases of the eye and its appendage, the endocrine system diseases, eating disorders and metabolic disorders, diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue. When calculating the cardiovascular risk, it was found that more than half (64.3%) of teachers over 40 years have an individual high and very high absolute cardiovascular risk. Conclusion. Health complaints based on the results of questionnaire screening are characterized mainly by burnout syndrome. The prevalence of the underlying diseases in teachers increases with age, apart from the diseases of the eye and its appendage. Target groups of teachers aged 40-64 years were inclusively identified to reduce the degree of cardiovascular risk. Keywords: teachers of educational institutions of higher and secondary medical education, health status, cardiovascular risk.

North-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov, Russia, 191015, Saint Petersburg, Kirochnaya street, 41. Abstract Introduction. Currentlaw and regulations establish the necessity to assess the occupational health risk of workers in case the noise level at the workplace is more than 80 dBA. However, a special assessment is to be assumed to carry out a risk assessment. Determination of occupational risk is performed to confirm risk acceptability to health, to predict the probability of health disorders development, to justify preventive measures aimed at minimizing risk. Aim of the study was to analyze the dynamics of a priori occupational health risk of workers of the oil refinery LLC "KINEF" from the noise production impact to justify medical and preventive measures. Materials and methods. The assessment of a priori occupational health risk was based on the principles of R 2.2.1766-03 «Guidelines on occupational risk assessment for workers health. Organizational and methodological aspects, principles and evaluation criteria" and R 2.2.2006-05«Guidelines on hygienic assessment of the factors of the working environment and the work load». The assessment model of a priori occupational risk was used considering the work experience dose. Results. The assessment results of a priori occupational risk caused by production noise impact allow to determine both the priority workplaces and work experience load according to the development of nonspecific and occupational diseases. Comparative results analysis of risk assessment based on the noise levels measurements in 2015 and 2020 indicates a decrease in a priori occupational risk at the majority of work places and the effectiveness of the implemented management decisions. Conclusion. The use of the above approach makes allow to identify workplaces and the most vulnerable groups of workers taking into account the length of work experience, probable health consequences caused by adverse noise impact, which is of a high importance not only for determining the priorities and measures targeting to improve working conditions, but also for evaluating their effectiveness to advance periodic medical examinations. Key words: workers' health, occupational health, working conditions, production noise, occupational risk, risk assessment, a priori risk.

The article provides an overview of the literature data and materials of the EAACI Congress 2020, devoted to the study of the relationship between climate change and the state of the respiratory system in patients with allergic diseases. Rates of allergic respiratory diseases prevalence have increased dramatically up to an epidemic worldwide. The polyetiological nature of diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis is widely discussed by specialists. Global climate change on Earth, anthropogenic activities are considered as cumulative reasons for these increasing rates. Numerous studies confirm the relationship of exacerbations of allergic diseases with an increase in the level of pollutants. The role of climatic factors in environmental pollution, in the development of allergic diseases, is actively studied and became the topic of discussion at symposia of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Digital Congress, held in June 2020, where leading experts presented the results of their research in this field. The strong need for the research on the aggregate impact of climate parameters (weather hardness, pathogenicity of meteorological factors) and environmental pollutants on human health was identified there allowing to outline new strategies for the treatment and prevention of allergic diseases. Key words: climate, environment, allergic diseases, respiratory system, anthropogenic pollutants.

The investigation of biopsychosocial model of chronic pain enables not only to determine the peculiarities of their mutual influence, but also to reveal the target of their impact. The aimof the study is to determine the significance coefficient of biological, psychological and social components of biopsychosocial model and to define the therapeutic target for restorative treatment of adolescent, middle age, elderly and old age patients suffering from chronic pain. Materials and methods. The study included 153 patients of different age groups suffering from chronic pain. Psychological testing of patients was carried out at the beginning and at the end of the treatment course. Results. At the beginning of the treatment course, the disorders were registered in every biopsychosocial model component in all patients. At this, the psychogenic component in all groups was the most susceptible to the impacts of diseases accompanied by chronic pain. At the end of the treatment course, the improvement of all biopsychosocial model components’ indices was observed. Conclusion. In accordance with the obtained data, the elderly patients were in the risk group. Most likely, it was associated with the changes of their self-perception, self-esteem in case of illness and also the possible changes of their economic and social status after retirement. The research results could be useful not only for medical psychologists, psychiatrist, psychotherapists, but also for specialists of various medical fields.

Saint-Petersburg State Pediatric Medical University, Russia, 194100, Saint-Petersburg, Litovskaya street, 2 Abstract Introduction. A complete and balanced diet is important for a sick child. Therefore, the nature of baby feeding, the timing of the introduction of complementary foods, the choice of the correct assortment of products of the nursing mother or the correct food substrate for the artificially fed one, allow to «work on mistakes» after child birth. The aim of the study was to assess the nutritional status and physical development of hospitalized children aged 0-18 months. Materials and methods. The study included 44 children from 2 to 18 months hospitalized at the Clinic of Pediatric University. The patients' parents signed informed consent to participate in the study and were questioned. Height, body weight, head circumference, chest, middle third of the shoulder, wrist, abdomen and hips were measured for all children. Daily monitoring of nutrition was performed for 3 days. Physical development was assessed using the Anthro program and the values of centile tables. Results. Upon admission to the clinic, it turned out that the proportion of artificially fed children increased to 68.2% in comparison with the period after their mothers were discharged from the hospital. Natural feeding was preserved only in 18.2%, and 13.6% of children remained on mixed feeding. Allergy to cow's milk protein was almost equally frequently detected in breastfed and bottle-fed children. It was revealed that the parents did not comply with the recommendations on the management of complementary foods. The nutritional status of the patients was determined. Conclusion. A decrease in the proportion of breastfed hospitalized children up to 18.2% was revealed. Hospitalized children in 50% of cases demonstrated nutritional deficiency. Adequate nutrition was determined in 10% of children. Violation of the timing of the introduction of complementary foods and the distortion of biorhythmological adequacy were found in 50% of children. Research is ongoing.

The emergence of infectious complications in the field of surgical intervention during the arthroplasty aim to developsimple and accessible laboratory tests to predict early postoperative complications. Materials and methods. The study included 42 patients admitted to traumatology and orthopedics clinic of the NWSMU named after I.I. Mechnikov for elective hip arthroplasty, and 28 donors who underwent blood tests using an automatic hematology analyzer DxH800 (Beckman Coulter, USA) and an FC-500 flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter, USA) using the CytoDiff reagent (Beckman Coulter, USA). Results. Patients wereexamined before surgery. Retrospectively, patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 without infectious complications in the surgical site (31 patients) and group 2 - with infectious complications (11 patients). Before surgery patients had no changes in hematological parameters compared to donors and reference values. In patients with infectious complications, an initial decrease in B-lymphocytes was established in comparison with patients without infectious complications. Studying the relationship of B-lymphocytes with hematological calculated blood parameters, a relationship with the volume distribution of monocytes (SD-MO) was established. Conclusion. Thus, it is recommended to include the assessment of the content of B-lymphocytes in the blood in the structure of the prognostic coefficients when calculating the development indices of an infectious complication in traumatological patients. For the prediction of the risks of complications, use the indicator obtained from the hematological analyzer - the width of the distribution of monocytes by volume.

Abstract.
Since its first detection, coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) infection has spread rapidly around the world and become a pandemic. Although, SARS-CoV-2 primarily attacks the respiratory system, complications in other organ systems (cardiovascular, neurological, liver and kidney) increase the mortality risk. Currently, clinical experience indicates a wide range of COVID-19clinical manifestations from asymptomatic to severe forms with low survival rates, associated with an aggressive inflammatory response. Overactivation of the immune system during COVID-19 leads to a sharp increase of levels of circulating proinflammatory cytokines – a cytokine storm, characterized by systemic inflammation, hyperferritinemia, acute respiratory distress syndrome and systemic inflammatory response syndrome, hemodynamic impairment, thrombosis and disseminated intravascular coagulation, damage to the lungs and other organs, multiple organ dysfunction and unvaforableprognosis. Keywords: COVID-19, coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, immunity, cytokine storm, hyperinflammation, hypercoagulation, multiorgan damage.

North-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov, Russia, 191015, Saint- Petersburg, Kirochnayast., 41 Abstract Introduction. Psoriasis is a recurrent immune-dependent disease, accompanied by inhibition of the intensity of free radical oxidation and a high level of antioxidant protection, which can be corrected by omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids having a redox-modulating effect. Aim of the study was to justify the choice of laboratory methods for evaluating the effectiveness and safety of the redox-modulating effect of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and to determine the timing of their implementation. Materials and methods. The study included 75 patients with vulgar psoriasis and 14 individuals (control group). Patients who received omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids for a month were randomized into 3 groups depending on the dose and the frequency of taking "Omega-3, 35%": 1-1150 mg 3 times a day; 2 - 3450 mg/day once; 3-2640 mg/day once. The effect of the action was evaluated by the PASI index, catalase activity, superoxide dismutase, their ratio, the concentration of total NS groups, interleukins, malondialdehyde, and lymphocyte apoptosis before treatment, after 14 and 28 days. Results and discussion. In patients with psoriasis, an increase in the thiol groups of plasma proteins, catalase activity and the ratio of catalase to superoxide dismutase was found. During therapy with the addition of "omega-3, 35%" dose 2640 mg/day once revealed the most pronounced redox modulatory action: to 14 day increase 1.4 times of malondialdehyde, interleukin-8 to 17,58 PG/ml and lymphocytes in the stage of late apoptosis; at day 28, the reduction of these parameters to baseline or reference values, as well as clinical improvement and reduction in PASI. The correlation analysis showed the comparability of the results obtained by scientific research and unified methods. Conclusion. To assess the effectiveness of the redox-modulating action of "Omega-3, 35%" ( 2640 mg/day once for a month) in patients with psoriasis, it is advisable to determine interleukin-8 on day 14, for safety assessment – interleukin-8 on day 28 and interleukin-10 on day 14 and 28 by enzyme immunoassay. Key word: psoriasis, AOS, apoptosis, interleukin status, redox-modulating effects of omega-3 containing drugs, methods for evaluating the effectiveness and safety of the drug, PASI index.
