The condition of architectural monuments is directly influenced by various factors, such as anthropogenic, natural, and technological, leading to the degradation of both structures and construction materials, ultimately resulting in irreversible damage. These factors diminish the quality of construction materials, contributing to alterations and the destruction of the appearance and structure of white stone. The primary objective of this research is to develop cement-free compositions for restoring ancient masonry materials.

Graft dysfunction is an urgent problem, the one-year survival rate of renal transplants is from 93% (from cadaveric donors) to 97% (from living donors), the five-year survival rate is on average 95%. The aim of the study consisted in determining the features of renal graft blood flow in the early post-transplantation period.

The most pronounced and early changes in oxidative metabolism processes (reduced catalase activity, increased malonic dialdehyde) and rates of blood serum lipid metabolism indicators were determined, increased values of leukocyte indices of intoxication, violations in the immune status. Changes were detected in workers even with a small length of service (5 years) and young age (20-30 years).
