Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (YNAO), located in the northern part of the Tyumen Region, is inhabited by both indigenous and non-indigenous population. On its territory, there is a pronounced imbalance of chemical elements in the water, soil, and plants, which directly affect the elemental status of the population. Taking into account the significant differences in the nature of nutrition and lifestyle of the indigenous and newcomer population in the North, it was of interest to study the concentration of chemical elements in their hair. 173 residents of YNAO were examined: 1) 92 newcomers – 40 (43.5 %) men and 52 (56.5 %) women, who had been living in YNAO for 10 years; 2) 81 aborigines – 33 (40.7 %) men and 48 (59.3 %) women. Their mean age was 38.3 ± 9.6 years. The concentrations of Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Cu, Cr, Zn, Se, Cd, Pb, and Hg in the hair were determined by means of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) at the Centre for Biotic Medicine (Moscow). Statistically significantly higher concentrations of Ca and Mg were established against the background of a lower content of Fe and Mn in newcomers compared to the indigenous population of YNAO (p < 0.001–0.011). At the same time, both groups had almost identical content of Cu and Zn. In addition, the indigenous population showed higher concentrations of Cr (p = 0.046), Se (p < 0.001), Hg (p = 0.019), and Cd (p = 0.030) and a slight excess of Pb in their hair. The established differences in the elemental status of newcomers and aboriginal inhabitants of YNAO are associated with the geochemical characteristics of this territory, dietary habits (lower consumption of simple carbohydrates by the aborigines and a large amount of fish in their diet), as well as widespread smoking among the indigenous people.

Abstract: Saffron is one of the most expensive spices in the world, and its popularity as a tasty food additive is spreading rapidly through many cultures and cuisines. Minerals and heavy metals are minor components found in saffron, which play a key role in the identification of the geographical origin, quality control, and food traceability, while they also affect human health. The chemical elements in saffron are measured using various analytical methods, such as techniques based on spectrometry or spectroscopy, including atomic emission spectrometry, atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The present study aimed to review the published articles about heavy metals and minerals in saffron across the world. To date, 64 chemical elements have been found in different types of saffron, which could be divided into three groups of macro-elements, trace elements, and heavy metals (trace elements with a lower gravity/greater than five times that of water and other inorganic sources). Furthermore, the chemical elements in the saffron samples of different countries have a wide range of concentrations. These differences may be affected by geographical condition such as physicochemical properties of the soil, weather and other environmental conditions like saffron cultivation and its genotype.

Objective. To study the specificity of physical development of children, who live in the extreme weather conditions of the North. Materials and methods. We examined schoolchildren belonging to the non-indigenous population of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area. The study included 1424 schoolchildren (751 boys and 673 girls) aged 7 to 16 years living in the gas-andoil producing districts of the area for not less than 3 years. In the course of the study, after measurements of the body height and weight of children in each age-gender group, the arithmetic mean and its standard error were calculated for both somatometric parameters. We performed a comparative analysis of the parameters and the standard reference values of the «WHO Growth Reference 2007» and the results of examination of children belonging to the indigenous population indicated in the literature. Discussion. We have found that during the period of intensive growth, the body height of representatives of the nonindigenous population is higher than that of their same-age peers from the indigenous population. But the definitive indicators of body height have no statistically significant difference. Conclusions. The body height values of the examined children do not significantly differ from the WHO standards, therefore, the «WHO Growth Reference 2007» and the «WHO Anthro» anthropometric calculator can be used in regular medical checkups of schoolchildren. The values of schoolchildren’s body weight are higher than the WHO standards, which necessitates a deeper analysis of the nutrition and physical activity of children. Key words: physical development, schoolchildren, children, non-indigenous population of North

Aim. To assess the imbalance of the chemical elements in biological substrates in the adult population of Irkutsk suffering from hypertension.Methods. During the work performance, the data of 55 patients with hypertension including 40 women aged 41-66 years and 15 men aged 52-66 years living in the city of Irkutsk were investigated. During the study of the elemental status of patients with hypertension, determination of 25 elements content in the hair was performed. Analysis of the studied samples was conducted in the NGO «Center for Biotic Medicine» laboratory. 7 elements is determined by ion-selective method in the blood: K, Na, Mg, Fe, Cl, Ca, P.Results. Elemental status of patients with hypertension is characterized by a low content of essential elements - Ca (482±31.2 mg/kg), Zn (164±12 mg/kg) and Mg (154±3.3 mg/kg), significantly higher content of Na (553±156 mg/kg) in the hair; decrease in concentration of Mg (0.64±0.04 mmol/l) and Ca (2.01±0.05 mmol/l), increase in Na (149±4 mmol/l) and Cl (119.4±2.8 mmol/l) levels in blood. Increased content of chloride in blood serum, boron in the hair, potassium and lead in the hair (in men), a low content of cobalt in the hair (in men) and zinc (in women) were found; compared with men, in women lower contents of sodium in the blood serum, potassium, aluminum, cadmium and lead in the hair, a higher content of calcium, magnesium, chromium, silicon, vanadium and strontium in the hair were registered; the most pronounced correlation was observed between anthropometric parameters and the level of the chemical elements in biological samples.Conclusion. The result of assessing imbalance of the key elements in the blood is more informative than the data on selected elements, probably because the presence of any imbalance reflects either the complexity of the factor impact or the severity of the deficit or excess of one element, which caused shifts of microelement landscape as a whole.

Thyroid Adenomas

Thyroid adenomas (TA) are benign tumors, but there is a 20% possibility of malignant transformation. The distinguishing between the TA and thyroid cancer (TC) is tricky, therefore new TA biomarkers are needed. Furthermore, the role of chemical elements (ChE) in etiology and pathogenesis of TA is unclear. The aim of this exploratory study was to evaluate whether significant changes in the thyroid tissue levels of twenty chemical elements (ChE) Al, B, Ba, Br, Ca, Cl, Cu, Fe, I, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, P, S, Si, Sr, V, and Zn exist in the adenomatous transformed thyroid. Thyroid tissue levels of twenty ChE were prospectively evaluated in 19 patients with TA and 105 healthy inhabitants. Measurements were performed using a combination of non-destructive and destructive methods: instrumental neutron activation analysis and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, respectively. Tissue samples were divided into two portions. One was used for morphological study while the other was intended for ChE analysis. It was found that contents of of Al, B, Br, Cl, Cu, Na, and Zn are significantly higher whereas the levels of I some lower. in TA than in normal tissues. It was supposed that the changes in levels Al, B, Br, Cl, Cu, I, Na, and Zn in thyroid tissue can be used as TA markers.
