The paper presents late outcomes of radiation exposure of 3205 children aged 6-17 years from native persons residing in the areas exposed to radiation 40 years ago. The spread of noncommunicable diseases in the children from the polluted area is 92%. Organic abnormalities are prevalent among them. These include thyroid hyperplasia, lymphadenopathy, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and other diseases. Thus, the environmental radiological situation in the southern Urals and the Orenburg Region is poor.

[Propagation and structure of noninfectious diseases in children and adolescents living in regions with various anthropogenic load].

A survey was made in 3205 children aged 6-17 years from the families of natives residing in the areas exposed to nuclear explosion (Group 1). A control group comprised 3200 children living under the similar climatogeographic and social conditions (Group 2). In Group 1 children circulatory diseases, lymphadenopathies, connective and bone tissue dysplasias come first in the structure of morbidity. There was an increase in respiratory diseases at the expense of long-ill children. The fact that lymphadenopathies and connective and bone tissue dysplasias are predominant and respiratory infection is persistent suggests that small-dose radiation has a negative impact on the above systems.

[Diet therapy of hyperlipidemia in children].

A classification of hyperlipidemias (HLP) in children has been presented in which the main types and forms of the disease are described. The general principles of the diet therapy in children with HLP have been formulated. It is stressed that the ration should include the products containing lipotropic substances, and possessing anticholesterol properties. A special attention is paid to chick-pea (Cicer arietinum) that contains essential amino acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids with antisclerotic and anticholesterol properties. The characteristics of the nutrition regimen for the HLP patients and the food intake frequency have been determined.
