[Assessment of adaptive mechanisms to obturators of the upper jaw according to the data of electronic axiography and cone-beam computer tomography]. / Otsenka adaptatsii k obturiruyushchim protezam verkhnei chelyusti po dannym elektronnoi aksiografii i konusno-luchevoi komp'yuternoi tomografii.

THE AIM OF THE STUDY: Was to assess the adaptation of patients to obturator at different periods of adaptation using objective digital methods of analysis: axiography, cone-beam computer tomography, digital facial scans, and intraoral scanning. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study comprised 17 patients with postoperative defects of the upper jaw at different periods of removable obturators usage. RESULTS: In 88.2% of the subjects limited mouth opening and displacement of the mandible to the healthy side was detected. Contracture as a complication can develop in the later stages of rehabilitation. CONCLUSION: A long-term rehabilitation of patients is recommended using simulators and special gymnastic exercises in order to prevent extra-articular contracture.

[A clinical case of a growing patient with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis of the temporomandibular joint]. / Vedenie rastushchego patsienta s yuvenil'nym revmatoidnym artritom visochno-nizhnechelyustnogo sustava.

BACKGROUND: Treatment of patients with temporomandibular joint pathology in the presence of systemic diseases should include a number of additional methods. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study to consider an algorithm for providing care to a growing patient with TMJ arthritis on the background of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis complicated by distalization of the mandible. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A growing patient with temporomandibular joint pathology and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is undergoing complex treatment by a rheumatologist and dentist in order to prevent pronounced degenerative changes in the TMJ bone structures, significant asymmetries of the facial skeleton and the postural component of the patient's body. RESULTS: The patient underwent rehabilitation in order to activate the growth zones, reduce the skeletal asymmetry of the maxillofacial region due to directed growth using conservative techniques. The growth of the branches of the lower jaw was obtained, the optical density of the cortical bone of both condyles improved to the age norm. CONCLUSION: A significant improvement in the prognosis of TMJ rheumatoid arthritis disease in growing patients is possible while creating conditions for adequate interaction of all structures of the maxillofacial region.

[The role of comprehensive geriatric assessment in the treatment of cancer patients in elderly and senile age.]

Modern approaches to the organization of diagnosis and treatment of elderly and senile patients with malignant tumors allow to maintain the necessary level of health, improve the quality of life and increase life expectancy. Assessment of geriatric status in Oncology allows: to predict complications during the complex treatment, including drug treatment; to modify treatment to reduce the risk factors of adverse outcomes; to select patients for specialized treatment using standard schemes. So, timely assessment of geriatric syndromes and their correction can expand the indications for specialized treatment of elderly and senile patients.

[Fishes from the Volga-Caspian basin - vectors of pathogens of anthropozoonoses].

In the Volga-Caspian region there is abundant variety of parasitic species from different systematic groups. Some species ofparasites can be pathogenic not only for fish, but also for human that is why studies on the infection rate of commercial fish species by agents of are very topical for today. The work presents materials on invasiveness by the sanitary-significant helminthes of sheat fish, pike-perch, perch, pike, bream, Caspian roach, red-eye, sabrefish, silver bream, anchovy and ordinary kilka, herring, Caspian shad, black-backed shad. In parasite cenoses of all studied representatives of ichthyofauna there were from one to four species of helminthes which are pathogenic for human and warm-blooded animals. The obtained data indicate to the functioning and active circulation of natural foci of invasion ofAnisacidosis, Eustrongylidosis, apophallosis, rossicotremosis, corynosomosis, opisthorchiasis and pseudamphistomosis in the delta and avan-delta of the Volga River, which, in turn, points to the sanitary trouble of the Volga Caspian region.

[Analysis of the distribution of alleles of a tetranucleotide repeat in intron 6 of the lipoprotein lipase gene among residents of Novosibirsk]. / Analiz raspredeleniia allelei tetranukleotidnogo povtora v introne 6 ggena lipoproteinlipazy sredi naseleniia g. Novosibirska.

The allele frequencies of a tetranucleotide repeat in intron 6 of the lipoprotein lipase gene (humLPL) were analyzed in 95 people from Novosibirsk. Genotype frequencies were shown to conform to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The allele frequency distribution of the tested hypervariable loci in the Novosibirsk population did not differ significantly from that in the Austrian population.

[State of the stroma in melanoma in patients with different delayed hypersensitivity reaction to neoplasm antigen]. / Sostoianie stromy v melanome u bol'nykh s razlichnoi reaktsiei giperchuvstvitel'nosti zamedlennogo tipa na opukholevyi antigen.

The data are reported on studying the stromal response of 19 melanomas of analogous localization, showing the same type of growth, histological structure, the level of invasion and area of ulceration in patients with positive and negative delayed hypersensitivity reaction to injection of the polysaccharide fraction from melanoma tissue. A high degree of pronouncement of lymphoid-cellular infiltration of tumor stroma correlated with a positive delayed hypersensitivity response, whereas a low degree -- with a negative one.
