Summary:Having analyzed literature data and results of their own research, the authors describe early alterations on the cellular and molecular levels of the organism in exposure to local and general vibration. Those include changes in oxidative metabolism, immune shifts, lesions of cell membranes, deterioration of blood rheology, lesions of muscular and connecting tissues, disturbances of mineral exchange. The paper suggests a complex of laboratory tests for early detection of prepathological conditions of the organism in exposure to vibration. It includes measurement of certain parameters, such as the serum levels of vitamin E, malonic dialdehyde, immunoglobulins IgA, IgM, IgG, circulating immune complexes as well as assessment of antioxidative activity, peroxide erythrocyte hemolysis, spontaneous and ADF-induced thrombocyte aggregation, measurement of erythrocyte diameter and volume, creatinine and oxiproline urine concentration, myoglobine blood level and copper serum level. The above parameters are of sufficiently high diagnostic sensitivity and reflect the main aspects of vibratory pathology pathogenesis.
