[Environmental pollution and congenital abnormalities according to the data of environmental health monitoring].

Study of the environmental pollution (ambient air, drinking water, food and fodder) in southern Ukraine industrial region and study of congenital developmental defects were carried out. 78,678 newborns were examined. The most significant environmental factors responsible for congenital developmental defects, as authors proposed, were the ambient air pollution and environmental radioactivity.

[The incidence and clinico-genetic characteristics of anomalies of the urinary system organs in children].

In the last 15 years 6,173 autopsy records were studied in the pediatric regional prosectorium and 3,938 children aged from one week to 15 years were examined in the nephrological clinic. It was established that the frequency of urinary system anomalies among children who had died ranged from 3.8 to 4.4%, while the fraction of multiple anomalies including lesions of the organs of the urinary system had somewhat increased (p less than 0.05). To determine exactly the possible role of genetic factors in the pathogenesis of anomalies of the urinary system organs, the authors studied the distribution of antigens of the HLA system in patients with this pathological condition. A total of 100 children with anomalies of organs of the urinary system, their parents, and 120 healthy individuals were examined. Typing was conducted by means of monospecific sera by the microlymphocytotoxic method. There was a tendency to an increase of the frequency of identification (as compared to the controls) of antigen B40 in the group of patients with uropathology, as well as B12 and B35. The authors calculated the relative risk of the development of the anomalies in children who have the listed antigens. The results of the study may be used as an additional criterion in differential diagnosis of uropathies.

[Evaluation of the effects of specialized therapeutic canned food on the course of iron-deficiency anemia in young children].

A total of 25 normal children and 131 children with iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) were investigated, 53 out of 131 IDA patients served as controls and received a standard food ration for children suffering from IDA, the rest received nutrition containing medicinal canned food. The following paraclinical parameters were evaluated in all the children investigated: red blood cell and hemoglobin content, calcium concentration, the content of ascorbic acid and vitamin B1, iron metabolism indices (serum iron, general and latent iron-binding capacity of the blood serum, coefficient of transferrin saturation with iron, serum ferritin). The results of the study have shown a favourable effect of the special-purpose medicinal canned food on IDA course in young children that necessitates their wide production and practical use.
