ОБ ОПЫТЕ СОЗДАНИЯ «ПРОФИЛЯ ЗДОРОВЬЯ ГОРОДА» В МЕЖДУНАРОДНОМ ПРОЕКТЕ «ЗДОРОВЫЕ ГОРОДА»

The article presents information about the international project «Healthy cities», knowledge about principles and axioms of the project. The authors have analyzed the experience of producing the «City Health Profile» under the project WHO «Healthy cities». The authors believe that the «Health Profile» of each individual city varies depending on specific conditions, both physical (the size of the territory, the state of the environment, its location) and political, and socio-economic. However, the formation of the «City Health Profile» is universally, regardless of geographical location or structure. It was noted that the «City Health Profile» has reflected all aspects of the life of the city, facilitates or barriers the promotion of inhabitants’ health and their well-being. For producing of «City Health Profile» additional data are needed: survey, sociological polls of the city population (self-assessment of their health status, lifestyle and quality of life). The advantage of these researches, carried out in the framework of the project «Healthy Cities», is implementation of complex sociological survey with a focused multi-purpose monitoring, covering all spheres of life in the city, to present a versatile, complete and objective evidences to illustrate the city as a territory of health and make up the holistic picture and the centre of which is the citizen and his/her health according to the WHO recommendations.В статье представлена информация о международном проекте «Здоровые города», рассказано о принципах и аксиомах проекта. Авторы проанализировали опыт создания «Профиля здоровья города» в проекте «Здоровые города» и считают, что «Профиль здоровья» каждого отдельного города варьирует в зависимости от конкретных условий, как физических (размер территории, состояние окружающей среды, место расположения), так и политических, социально-экономических. Тем не менее, построение «Профиля здоровья» универсально вне зависимости от географического положения или структуры. Отмечено, что в «Профиле здоровья города» находят отражение все аспекты жизни города, способствующие или препятствующие здоровью жителей и их благополучию. Для создания «Профиля здоровья города» дополнительно необходимы данные социологических опросов населения города (самооценка состояния здоровья, образ и качество жизни). Комплексное социологическое исследование, проводимое в рамках проекта «Здоровые города», включает многоцелевой мониторинг с охватом всех сфер жизнедеятельности города, чтобы согласно рекомендациям ВОЗ представить разноплановую, целостную и объективную картину города как среды здоровья, а горожанина — центральной фигурой этой среды

Receiver-Operating Characteristic Analysis for Evaluating the Severity of the Condition of Preterm Children Depending on Perinatal Risk Factors, Timing, and Mode of Delivery

The aim of this study was to assess the role of the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis for evaluating the severity of the condition of preterm children, depending on perinatal risk (PR) factors, timing, and mode of delivery. In order to identify the thresholds for "intrapartum gain" of risk factors for timely selection of mode of delivery, we performed a comparative ROC analysis of the severity of the state of children at birth according to the Apgar score, from 1 point in the first minute to 7 points in the fifth minute of life. The analysis of indicators of perinatal mortality (PM) and perinatal morbidity (PMb) shows a statistically significant difference (P<0.05) in the selection of the priority mode of delivery for women with premature birth during all analyzed gestation ages, depending on PR: frequency of PM and PMb is lower among pregnant women with a high risk who gave birth to premature babies delivered by C-section

Neonatal Outcomes in the Postpartum Period depending on Perinatal Risk Factors, Terms and Mode of Delivery

The aim of this study was to evaluate neonatal outcomes of preterm birth in the postpartum period, depending on perinatal risk factors, terms, and mode of delivery. Regardless of the mode of delivery, more than 60% of the infants died in the early neonatal period. The main diseases in the early neonatal period were asphyxia, respiratory distress syndrome and intraventricular hemorrhage

Recombinant Strains Application for Simultaneous Preparation of Several Purified Cholera Vibrio Antigens

Proposed is the method for simultaneous isolation and purification of three cholera vibrio key pathogenicity factors (cholera toxin, toxin-co-regulated adhesion pili, O1 antigen Ogawa or Inaba), which are main protective antigens, from previously constructed recombinant Vibrio cholerae strains 2415 Inaba and KM 206 Ogawa. Immunologic activity of the preparations was confirmed using polyclonal high-active specific antisera. Purified antigens can be used for creation and improvement of prophylactic and diagnostic preparations

Orientation of reaction center complexes from Rhodobacter sphaeroides in proteoliposomes and the effect of o-phenanthroline on electrogenesis during primary photochemical reaction

The orientation of Rhodobacter sphaeroides reaction center complexes (RC complexes) in proteoliposomal membranes was investigated by a direct electrometric method. Conditions were found that allow monitoring of only that RC complex fraction that is oriented with its donor side to the inner part of the proteoliposome. It is shown that o-phenanthroline, an inhibitor of electron transfer between primary (QA) and secondary (QB) quinone acceptors, can also inhibit the photoinduced QA reduction. The efficiency of this inhibition depends on the concentration of added ubiquinone. It is assumed that the laser flash-induced o-phenanthroline inhibition of primary dipole (P-870+ · QA-) formation is of a competitive nature. © 1989 Plenum Publishing Corporation
