RESUMEN
There were analyzed results of a periodical medical examination of 396 aluminum plant workers. There was established the significant dissociation of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism indices in people contacting with elevated concentrations qf inorganic fluorine compounds as compared to control group of patients which were not exposed to the toxic chemicals. This can testify to the risk of early onset of diabetes mellitus type 2 for aluminum industry workers and to the necessity of the implementation of timely measures for this worker category.

The authors evaluated possible increase in metabolic disorders risk in workers exposed to natural asbestos and to mixed asbestos stock dust, on the background of improper nutrition. Findings are excessive intake of food with high content of free sugar, saturated fatty acids and common salt (2.3-11.0 times) with lack of chicken meat, cereals, fish, vegetables, fruits and cultured milk foods in diet. Excessive body weight was seen in 81.0% of the workers, every third worker was obese. Chances ratio proved that the workers with excessive body weight are more probable in developing high serum levels of glucose, cholesterol, triglycerids, low density lipoproteins, higher atherogenicity index (2.4-3.1 times), and probability of arterial hypertension is higher by 78%.

The article covers results of studies concerning time of fluorosis development in patients with signs of connective tissue dysplasia syndrome (CTDS). if compared with patients without CTDS, and of studies concerning hyperostosis coefficient in accordance with presence or absence of CTDS. Efficiency of physical therapy and balneotherapy for these patients are also reported by the authors.

Analysis covered 1348 case histories of workers exposed to industrial dust in Urals region. The analysis applied mathematical processing of survival theory and correlation analysis. The authors studied influence of various factors: dust concentration, connective tissue dysplasia, smoking habits--on duration for diseases caused by dust to appear. Findings are that occupational diseases develop reliably faster with higher ambient dust concentrations and with connective tissue dysplasia syndrome. Smoking habits do not alter duration of pneumoconiosis development, but reliably increases development of occupational dust bronchitis.

Two physiotherapeutic complexes are proposed for the improvement of functional characteristics of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems that can be used for the non-medicamentous treatment of patients with cardiovascular diseases or concurrent broncho-pulmonary and cardiovascular pathologies. One complex is designed for the treatment of patients with asbestosis including that complicated by chronic obstructive bronchitis in the phase of remission with the well-apparent signs of myocardial electric instability. The use of the other complex is indicated to patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis in the phase of exacerbation and the signs of chronic pulmonary heart associated with cardiac dysrhythmia.

Analysing terms of occupational respiratory dust diseases formation proved that length of service under exposure to chrysotile-asbestos aerosols, which is according to prognosis associated with final development of dust diseases in half of the examinees, is 33.55 years. Dynamics of final diagnostic criteria formation for occupational disease in relation to length of service is not a linear type.

The authors studied clinical, roentgenologic and functional signs of asbestosis and chronic dust bronchitis in 57 workers engaged into extraction and processing of asbestos. Occupational peripheral lung cancer was revealed in 4 cases. Chronic dust bronchitis appeared to be diagnosed with delay, usually at I-II stages.
