[Satisfaction with the quality of life in the Russian regions in the context of realizing the resource potential of elderly people.].

A system of indicators is proposed to assess the relationship between quality of life from the point of view of realization of resource potential of elderly people in conditions of demographic aging of the population and to analyze various aspects of socio-economic development of the Russian regions. The statistical evaluation of these indicators and the level of inequality in the context of research topic in context of the regions of Russia is carried out.

[Features of a cytokine profile in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis with progressive chronic renal failure].

Aim: To specify the cytokine profile in chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) with aggravating renal function, to assess prognostic value of some cytokines in development of CGN in these patients.

Material And Methods: Indices of the cytokine profile were followed up in 56 CGN patients with nephrotic syndrome and arterial hypertension and compared in those patients who developed CGN for 2 years (group 2) versus patients with intact renal function (group 1).

Results: Serum levels of IL-1beta and TNF-alpha were maximal in CGN patients with aggravating renal function.

[Various cellular mechanisms of the action of laser irradiation of blood].

Effect of in vitro exposure to therapeutic He-Ne laser at a wave-length of 630 nm in two modes, 2 and 6 mWt, on the function of blood cells is studied. Exposure to 6 mWt resulted in spontaneous increase of interleukin-1 production by peripheral blood mononuclears. 2 mWt exposure led to increase of erythrocyte deformability and decrease of their viscosity, whereas 6 mWt exposure did not modify these parameters.
