[Functional-metabolic estimation of responsiveness of blood cells in exposure to local vibration]

The physiological features of the blood cells have been studied in the workers, exposed to a long-term local vibration. The summary peroxidase activity of the blood cells, the levels of the phagocytic response as well as of the alkaline and acid phosphatases in the neutrophiles, the glycogen content in the neutrophiles and lymphocytes have been evaluated. The alterations associated with the decrease in the functional-metabolic parameters in dependence on the contact duration with the vibration-induced tools and on the severity of the clinical symptomatics have been revealed. The different declinations revealed in the character of the cellular responsiveness may display peculiarities in the mechanisms of adaptive regulation.
