Abstract
Aim. Improving diagnosis of premorbid skin changes of gas production employees. Material and methods. 158 employees of male Astrakhan gas processing plant aged from 28 up to 59 years (on average 40,23±0,49 years) which didn't have at the time of survey the demonstrative forms of the somatic and neurologic diseases and 77 clinically healthy volunteers of control group who were constantly living to Astrakhan aged from 25 up to 55 years are examined (on average 38,18±0,99). Average length of service at the enterprise made 9,02±0,29 years. Assessment of a functional condition of a skin by method of laser Doppler flowmetry was carried out on the laser analyzer of a capillary blood flow (LAKK-01) (NPP Lazma, Moscow). Results. As a result of the examination, occupational skin diseases were not detected, but professional stigma was registered with a high frequency, most often localized on the hands. Of nonprofessional lesions, 56 people (35,44± 0,30%) of foot mycoses were noted. Conclusion. Disturbances of microcirculation play an important initial-trigger role in the pathogenesis of a number of dermatoses. Identification of early preclinical manifestations of the impact of harmful production factors on the health status of workers in the gas processing industry with a view to predicting the risk of occupationally caused diseases and conditions appears to be an actual area of modern medicine.
