Present article discusses the physiological mechanisms of the state employees adaptation during active training in temporary groups. It is suggested that adaptive mechanisms to adverse effects may be studied basing on the concept of functional isomorphism of the psychic and immune systems. Adaptive mechanisms were studied through the monitoring of the stress factors' impact upon the law enforcement officers when training outside the places of permanent deployment. The specific purpose of present study was to evaluate the physiological indicators of the psychic, immune and endocrine systems dynamics at different stages of adaptation of the live organism to a stressful situation, hoping to get better insight into possible relations between psychic and immune domains. Through monitoring of the dynamics of the endocrine and immune responses to the psychic stimuli, it was possible to correlate the stages of the stress onset to the phases of specific immune reactions. Strong correlations between the parameters characterizing activation of the psychic and immune responses support the hypothesis of the presence of "strong cooperation" between psychic and immune domains. It supports earlier hypothesis that we are monitoring different manifestations of the functioning of a complex inseparable psycho-immune meta-system.

We have studied a population of 1200 people of the Tundra Nentsi inhabiting Northwestern Siberia in the immediate proximity to the nuclear test ground Novaya Zemlya. As has been shown, cancer has increased over the last decade, and so too the number of secondary immune deficiency diseases. Chromosome analysis of peripheral blood (N=74) suggests that the overall percentage of chromosomal aberrations in the population is 4.59% (1.5% in the control), while that of "ring" and dicentric" type aberrations, which are the "markers" of radiation damage, is 0.53% (0.05% in the control). We have discovered a unique variant of an immunoglobulin gene structure combined with a small extranumerical chromosome. Total blood analysis has revealed such abnormalities as anemia, leucopenia and deformed erythrocytes in various combinations in 17% of the people examined. Analysis of soils has shown that the content of 137 Cs in the upper 5 em layer is 59 Bq/kg and 65 Bq/kg at two locations which is higher than that following the f!0bal fall-outs at these latitudes. A correlation has been found between the content of 37CS in lichen and reindeer meat (61 Bq/kg and 62 Bqlkg, respectively). This suggests that the natives, who live largely on reindeer meat, may have been continuously exposed to radiation from inside.
