Background: One of the most important effects of many drying lakes in the world is increasing the emergence and outbreak of different diseases. For this sake, the present study aimed to systematically review the effects of lakes drying on human health. Methods: The present systematic review was designed and conducted in 2017. Data were gathered by searching the Science Direct, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Knowledge databases, along with hand search of key journals and unpublished resources and contact with experts. There was no specific time span for the search. Results: Overall, 22 articles were selected with 20 articles about Aral Lake drying. Almost all studies were cross-sectional and retrospective. In 8 studies, the participants were children. Seventeen articles lakes drying have adverse effects on human health. Based on the type of effect, the studies were classified into 7 categories (respiratory problems, reproductive system problems, kidney and urological diseases, cancers, anemia, and diarrhea). Conclusion: Most studies depicted the harmful effects of lakes draught on human health; they had low level of evidence as they were mostly retrospective and cross-sectional. There is not enough evidence to accept or reject with high level of certainty the very effects of lakes drying on human health. To provide such evidence we suggest conducting middle and long term cohort and observational studies with scientific bases.

AIM:Objective of the study was to evaluate the state of the main indicators of antioxidant status and enzymes of purine metabolism in the germ cells of men living in the zone of ecological catastrophe Aral Sea region.METHODS:The criterion for inclusion is the stay of an adult in the Aral Sea area is not less than 5 years, employment in occupations with no more than 2 hazard class. Determination of the activity of adenosine deaminase (ADA) was conducted in semen by the method of Nemechek et al., 1993. Determination of the activity of catalase (CAT) was performed according by the method of Korolyuk et al., 1988.RESULTS:Results of the study indicate a change in the activity of catalase and adenosine deaminase, due to increased levels of oxidative stress and the development of the pathological process.CONCLUSIONS:According to the results of study, it was put the influence of negative factors of the Aral Sea region in men’s sperm of reproductive age gives to disability free-radical processes, that proves changing of ferments of ant oxidative protection Catalase and adenosine deaminase (ADA). This disturbance in men’s sperm of reproductive age leading to increased level of oxidative stress and impaired activity of antioxidant enzymes and purine metabolism, responsible for the abnormal transmembrane and intracellular processes, reflecting the degree of imbalance of enzymes.

Purpose:The aim of the present study is to bring to the surface the attitudes of locals and health service providers who live around Lake Urmia about its drying and consequence effects on people's health. Methods:In this qualitative study with the grounded theory approach, the participants included 30 locals, 30 social workers, and 10 family doctors who were recruited by target-based sampling method from the villages of three east-costs cities of Lake Urmia.Results: Data were collected by holding 7 group discussion sessions and were analyzed using a contentanalysis methodology. Main themes and 15 sub-themes were extracted including indirect affecting factors on health (reduced revenues, changed agricultural patterns, migration, and unemployment) disease prevalence (respiratory diseases, cancers, anemia, psychological disorders, and others) confusing factors (screening patients and active respiratory recording, people's oversensitivity, and industrial and producing centers) and need for more evidence (need for strong evidence, need for data recording system, and need for providing scientific content). Conclusion:Based on participants' attitudes LUD is indirectly effective on people's health by reducing revenue, and changing agricultural patterns. About direct effects, still, it cannot be acclaimed that increase in the prevalence of diseases is related to LUD while many confusing factors are influential and further studies are needed.
