[Peculiarities of regenerative processes after the plasty of osteochondral defects with combined cell-tissue grafts on the basis of autologous and allogeneic cell cultures from costal cartilage tissue].

From a position of in vivo regenerative medicine, the efficacy of plasty of osteochondral defects of the articular surface was evaluated in rabbits. The combined cell-tissue grafts were used with the demineralized spongy bone as a biomatrix and autologous or allogeneic cells from the rib cartilage tissue. Morphofunctional characteristics of the cell cultures obtained were studied using morphological, histochemical, immunohistochemical and flow cytometric methods.

[Substantiation of the program of realization of bases of the state policy of a healthy nutrition of population of the Samara Region for the period till 2020 year].

Substantiate the need for long-term program of sanitation the diet of the population of the Samara Region. A systemic analysis of actual nutrition of different population groups in the region showed an excessive consumption of fats and added sugar--the main risk factors of obesity, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus. The risks of inadequate consumption of vitamins B, calcium, iron, caused by the irrational combination of the foodstuff use, are revealed.

[Whole body vibration (acceleration) training increases bone mineral density and serum levels of osteocalcin in elderly women].

Hip bone mineral density (BMD) and serum markers of bone turnover during drug (antiresorptic medicaments) and non-drug (acceleration training) therapy in elderly women suffering from postmenopausal osteoporosis has been investigated. The hip BMD measured in elderly women after a 24-week antiresorptic therapy (alendronate) and increased by 2.01%.

June 26 is the 100 anniversary of Professor T.I. Yeroshevsky--the Hero of socialist Work, the winner of the USSR State Premium, the correspondent of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, the Honoured Scientist of the RSFSR, the Honoured Citizen of Kuibyshev (nowdays--Samara) and Gurkovo of the Bulgarian National Republic.

[The use of gravitation overloading in the treatment of obliterative atherosclerosis of lower extremity arteries].

The article sums up results of treatment of 152 patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremity arteries which were exposed to 2-3 G gravitation overloading made in a centrifuge of a short radius in direction head--pelvis. The gravitation overloading in the regimen followed were not found to have negative effects of central hemodynamics. Peripheral circulation was noted to considerably improve which is confirmed: 1) by clinical data showing 2-5 times longer distance of painless walking; 2) by the data of ultrasound dopplerography manifested as larger volume rate of blood flow and regional perfusion index; 3) by thermographic explorations evidencing the recovery of the thermoprophile of the legs and feet.
