These often include vertical platysmal bands, a double chin, Venus rings, the absence of the cervico-mental angle, hypertonicity of the muscles in the mental area, and insufficient projection of the chin. The development and implementation of less-traumatic methods of correction of the lower third of the face and harmonization of the projection of the cervico-mental region remain relevant.

[Evaluation of the effectiveness of various regimens of the immunomodulatory drug Superlimf in the prevention of relapses of chronic abacterial prostatitis].

Introduction: Immune defense mechanisms, including a decrease in the functional activity of monocytes/macrophages, neutrophils, as well as a violation of the balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, are important in the development of chronic abacterial prostatitis (CAP). The discovery of the cytokine system and the determination of their biological role in the development and functioning of the immune system and in the pathogenesis of a wide range of human diseases led to the development of a new direction in immunotherapy - cytokine therapy. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of various regimens of the use of the immunomodulatory drug Superlimf in the prevention of recurrence of CAP.

[Regulated expression systems for gene therapy].

Gene therapy is a perspective and rapidly developing field of modern medicine, which is expected to improve state of or even cure patients that are not curable by classical methods of therapy. The logics of development of gene therapy in the near future will require the use of systems in which expression of therapeutic gene can be regulated. This review critically evaluates current regulated systems of gene therapy that can be divided into two major classes.
