Current approach to sanitary and hygienic measures in various parts of the national health care system should create new challenges aimed at practical prevention in the context of the safety of people from the environmental carcinogenic factors. The effective Russian SanPiN 1.2.3685-21 regulates hygienic requirements for the safety of environmental factors for humans; inter alia, the documents lists biological carcinogens and carcinogenic lifestyle factors. The efforts of sanitary specialists in general and employees of Rospotrebnadzor in particular aimed at prevention of harmful impact of the existing carcinogenic factors shall be more effective if the available information on the potentially dangerous biological agents of carcinogenesis is more complete. This paper reviews the modern sanitary and hygienic aspects of carcinogenic factors of biological nature, and describes the causes of oncological diseases caused by them as well as the respective prognosis. Viruses, bacteria and trematodes, whose participation in the occurrence and development of a specific cancer is an established fact, are posed as etiological agents of the carcinogenic hazard biological factors present for a human being.

In the light of the issue, specifically health preservation in students, the development and introduction of the program for shaping healthy lifestyle and health improvement in student youth seems relevant, which constitutes the objective of the paper. Considering the data of the analytical literature review and the results of our study involving assessment of behavioral health risk factors in young adults, the program focused on shaping healthy lifestyle and health improvement in individuals engaged in educational process was developed and introduced at the Yaroslavl State Medical University. The program brings together five workstreams: optimization of training conditions and regime, assessment of lifestyle and the related risk factors, health culture development, sport and wellness activities, health services management. The program developed includes medical and hygienic, educational, sport and wellness health preservation technologies.

The relevance of the study results from high significance of nutrition and the growing interest of today’s researchers in the phenomenon of orthorexia nervosa (ON) as an obsessive desire for healthy, proper diet. The study aimed to assess ON severity in students. The students’ anthropometric measurements (body height, body weight), body mass index (Quetelet Index), ON severity based on the ORTO-15 questionnaire, features of the diet based on the Food Frequency Questionnaire were assessed, with subsequent statistical processing of the results. High prevalence of ON among both girls and young men (80.2% of the respondents) was shown. Furthermore, there were no differences in the ON phenomenon severity between young men and girls, and the relationship between the ON severity and the anthropometric measurements was non-significant (p > 0.05). Food selectivity associated with the phenomenon of ON was found in 3.3% of cases. Imbalanced diet was found in the majority of the respondents. The study has made it possible to conclude that the subjects constitute the group at risk of eating disorders. Further research is needed to accurately diagnose ON and reveal the relationship between ON and possible risk factors of this condition.

Disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) is an important environmental and hygienic problem, but it causes not only environmental, but also great economic damage. From January 1, 2019, it was planned to carry out a reform of solid waste management. Many regions were not ready for waste reform. The problem of waste disposal is especially acute in federal cities. The goal is to study the readiness of regional operators in large cities (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sevastopol) and students to solve the problem of waste disposal. A total of 100 solid waste collection sites were examined in the central and peripheral regions of Moscow, St. Petersburg and Sevastopol. An online survey of 356 medical students was conducted. When examining districts of three cities, the main difficulties in the peripheral regions were insufficient lighting, lack of fences and protective soil coverings, in the central regions - non-compliance with zoning in the location of sites in relation to the housing stock, lack of lids on containers, which worsens the sanitary and epidemiological situation. The main motivations for students to participate in separate waste collection were the convenience of container location and incentives; environmental problems were of interest to only 4% of respondents. The results of the study revealed the need to continue reforming the primary level of solid waste management and conducting environmental and hygienic education of the population, including youth and students, in terms of the importance of waste management using modern technologies.

Currently, there is increasing number of overweight people all over the world. The increase in the incidence of depression among the population, especially among adolescents and young adults, has been reported. The study was aimed to determine the relationship between excess body weight and severity of depression in the young adult students taught at the initial courses in the medical university. The study involved 230 junior medical students (163 females and 67 males) having no chronic disorders. Body mass index (BMI) was determined in the subjects. The depression severity was defined using the Beck Depression Inventory. The analysis showed that the average BMI was 3.0 ± 3.9 AU in males and 22.0 ± 4.3 AU in females. The share of underweight male subjects was 7.5%, while the share of underweight females was 10.5%; 28.3% of males and 13.5% of female subjects had excess body weight and obesity of varying severity. No signs of depression were found in 66.0% of males and 61.0% of females. We revealed no significant correlation between BMI and depression.

Anthropogenic impact on the biosphere has become one of the major factors dictating the conditions of our existence on the Earth. The study was aimed to perform comparative analysis of the rate of cytogenetic alterations, indicators of proliferation and destruction of the nucleus in the vaginal epithelium reflecting the reproductive health status of pregnant women aged 26–33 years living in conditions of radioactive, chemical and combined contamination of the territories of Bryansk Region. Cytogenetic status of 80 pregnant women divided into four groups, 20 individuals per group, was assessed using the micronucleus test. The rate of cytogenetic alterations, indicators of proliferation and destruction of the nucleus in the vaginal epithelium of pregnant women living in the environmentally disadvantaged territories was 1.9–4.9 times higher (p < 0.001) compared to that in women living in the environmentally safe (control) districts. The combined effects of radioactive and chemical contamination resulted in the significantly higher rate (increase from 12.8 to 81.4%) of cells with micronuclei, nuclear protrusions, binucleated cells, as well as cells with karyopyknosis and karyolysis compared to the effect of only one pollution factor. The findings are likely to show synergy of the effects of radiation and chemical factors on the cytogenetic status of pregnant women.
