Abstract
The World Health Organization and the International Labor Organization point out worldwide changes in labor socialization, a more stressful working life, which, in their turn, require adaptation of employees to the changing conditions, negatively affecting their health and well-being at work. In view of the future challenges in most developed countries, the issues of a healthier workforce and ability to work become more important. The paradigm changes, as well, from diseases treatment to prevention, to creating health protective behaviors and health potentials (comprehensiveness).
Currently presenteeism and absenteeism are of great importance, their management being able to considerably affect the employees’ health and working efficiency. Goal-oriented efforts focusing on decreasing presenteeism and absenteeism, search for methods of their integration into the strategy of professional risk management, revision of priorities in prevention measures with an emphasis on individual health management. International experience shows success of this approach to improving labor conditions and life quality of the employees in the framework of Health Management programs. Key words: health and well-being at work, stress at work, working efficiency, presenteeism, absenteeism, occupational health promotion.

MONITORING OF THE MICROBIOCENOSIS IN NEWBORNS WITHIN INTENSIVE CARE UNITS T. A. Kondratenko1, A. V. Sheozhevа1,2 1 Rostov State Medical University. Russia, 344022, Rostov-on-Don, Nakhichevansky Lane, 29 2 Adygei Children's Republican Clinical Hospital , Russia, 385000, Republic of Adygea, Maykop, Gagarin St., 6 Abstract Introduction. Due to the dysmaturity of the neonate's immune system, especially of premature babies, a larger number of manipulations, the intensive care units (ICU) are the risk zones for the development of healthcare-associated infections. The level of intrahospital infections in these very units is 10 times higher, than in general units. The aim of the study was to investigate the circulating microbiota and its sensitivity to antibiotics in newborns during development care in ICU. Materials and methods. In neonatal intensive care units of
Maykop perinatal during 2015-2016 were conducted laboratory studies carried out in institution’s bacteriological laboratories. Microbiological examination of newborns was performed on the admission and discharge of the ICU. The obtained results were analyzed using WONET programme (v.5.6), statistical analysis was performed using SPSS programme (v.22). Results. By the research results on the infant microflora colonization during the first days after birth it was observed the scanty microflora and only in 7,8% out of 260 cases was founded the coccal flora (St. haemoliticus). During the admission the microbiology of biotypes was formed on newborn (25 days Me = 25,00; Р 23,00–26,00), so while investigating the pharynx contamination was observed the high-level colonization by gram-negative bacteria of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (4,1%) and Enterobacteriaceae (E. cloacae – 4,6%, E. agglomerans-of 6,1%, E. aerogenes of-2,6%) being pathogens of nosocomial pneumonia, genitourinary tract lesions and bacteremia. Gram-positive facultative aerobes was prevailed in nose, eyes and navel (S. aureus of-3,9%, S. haemoliticus of-29,1%). Pathogens of a wide range had a resistance to first-line antibiotics.
At originators of a wide range resistance to the antibiotics applied as starting therapy became perceptible. Conclusion. Against the immunodeficiency, low body weight and intrauterine infection it is observed the more dynamic contamination by pathogen and opportunistic pathogens; high level of microorganisms detection may be considered as a result of hospital microflora demanding the development of evidence-based, economically effective methods of prevention. Keywords: monitoring, microbiocenosis, newborns, microorganism, antibiotic resistance.
HEALTH AND MORTALITY RISK AS AN ASSESSMENT CRITERIA OF PUBLIC HEALTH O.P. Lomov North-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov, Russia, Saint-Petersburg Abstract Introduction. The major risk factors posed threat to the national security of Russia is the health deterioration of the population. The development of objective assessment criteria is essential for ensuring sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population. The aim of the research is to develop and approve methodological approach to hygienic assessment of health, based on the probability of morbidity and mortality. Materials and methods.It was used the official data on morbidity and mortality rates in Saint-Petersburg during 1996-2007, presented in the publications of Medical Information and Analytical (MIAC Saint-Petersburg, 2004, 2009) and from data base represented by male healthy controls aged from 25 to 55 (for the period from 2003-2013).
The possibility of the development of n-class diseases was determined by the correlation of the number of registered n-class patients to the total number of patients with all classes of diseases. The death probability was calculated due to the relation of the mortality rate for the n-class of diseases within the total mortality rate. The risk of damage to health (Ro) was assessed on the sum of possibility of primary incidence rate (Po) and mortality (GCM). Results. It was found out that the state of public health is mainly determined by disease rate:
cardiovascular diseases (wn=85,4-88,37%), injuries and poisonings (wn=3,5-5,7%) and neoplasms (wn=3.2-3,4%). The main individual lifelong mortality risk associates with cardiovascular diseases (extremely high, more than 10-1), injuries and poisonings, neoplasms, respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases (high-10-3-10-1).The mortality risk of the population in 2007 was similar to the assessment levels in 2003. It was observed the significant changes of certain indexes: central nervous system diseases and sense organs (class 6), injuries and poisonings (class 14) became less significant
due to the reduction of mortality and morbidity.
In the group of organized contingents of population the disease rate is mainly determined by cardiovascular diseases, injures and poisonings (medium level). In 2013 the class “neoplasms” was added to medium risk diseases with increase values from 6,2-10'5 to 1-104.
The risk of health loss among organized contingents in 2003 was 1, 38x10-4 which is considered to be very high. In 2013 this number decreased to 9x10-4, which is socially admissible (staff). Conclusion. The health risk of population and organized contingent in Saint-Petersburg should be considered as criteria of environment hygiene assessment. The analysis of environment adverse effect to population health according to summarized risk of its loss provides the possibility to detect the greatest threat to public health. Key words: health, risks, safety, threats, mortality rate, disease rate.

THE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF RENAL CELL CARCINOMA WITH TUMOR INVASION IN THE RENAL AND INFERIOR VENA CAVA. B.K Komyakov, S.A Zamyatin, A.I. Archangelskiy, V.A Zubarev, A.T.Salsanov North-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov, Russia, 191015, Saint-Petersburg, Kirochnayast., 41 Abstract Introduction: Renal cell carcinoma accounts for approximately 90% of kidneys tumors. Despite the improvement of methods for early diagnosis distant metastasis is revealed in 20-30% of patients with primary renal cell carcinoma. The extension of renal cell carcinoma into the renal vein and inferior vena cava observed in about 4-15% of patients, 1% of cases - into the right atrium. The aim of the study was to expand the possibilities and to improve the results of surgical treatment of patients with intraluminal tumor invasion into the renal and inferior vena cava. Materials and Methods:The study was based on the examination of 220 patients with kidney cancer complicated by intraluminal tumor invasion. The results after treatment were assessed depending on the prevalence of tumor venous thrombosis, the condition of regional lymph nodes, the type of the performed surgical intervention, the histological type and the grade of tumor differentiation. Results:About 117 patients (53.2%) were diagnosed with renal vein tumor thrombosis and 103 patients (46.8%) with the tumor ivasion into the lumen of the inferior vena cava. In 37 patients, the tumor thrombus was located at or above the level of hepatic veins. Depending on the type of surgical intervention, the patients were distributed as follows:1. 104 patients (51.5%) – nephrectomy and inferior vena cava marginal clamping with the removal of the renal vein; 2. 78 (38.6%) – nephrectomy and inferior vena cava clamping with the removal of the renal vein and thrombus; 3. 1 (0.5%) – right-sided nephrectomy with the removal of the abdominal part of inferior vena cava; 4. 13 (6.4%) – nephrectomy and thrombectomy with inferior vena cava clamping above the diaphragm; 5. 3 (1.5%) – nephrectomy with thrombectomy under cardiopulmonary bypass; 6. 3 (1.5%) – vena cavography and thrombo-extraction followed by nephrectomy and transverse inferior vena cava clamping from hepatic to iliac veins, venacavatomy, marginal vein resection with the removal of thrombus. Conclusion: Kidney cancer complicated by thrombosis of the renal and inferior vena cava is potentially treatable. The completeness of thrombus removal, tumor growth into paranephric fiber, regional lymph node involvement and distant metastases are prognostically significant factors for survival. Nephrectomy with thrombectomy is considered the only radical method for treating tumor thrombi in kidney cancer. Key words: kidney cancer, tumor venous thrombosis.
