MORBIDITY ASSESSMENT ACCORDING TO GENDER IN GEORGIAN STUDENTS.

Significant gender differences were noted according to initial symptoms, stress perception, exercise and nutrition.Purpose - distribution of the structure of students' morbidity and behavioral risk factors for health according to gender.766 Georgian students, aged 15 to 35 (20.

AGE SPECIFIC CORRELATION PECULIARITIES OF THE DIAMETER AND DEFORMATION OF A HEALTHY HUMAN ERYTHROCYTE MEMBRANE.

The purpose of our research was to determine the interrelation peculiarities of erythrocyte membrane deformability and cell diameter in a practically healthy person, in different age groups. 60 volunteers were selected for this survey in 5 age groups: 1) 17-25, 2) 25-35, 3) 35-60, 4) 60-75, 5) 75-90. As a result of the study, it was determined that with aging the diameter of peripheral blood erythrocytes increases and an indicator of deformability, in contrary, decreases.

ALTERATIONS OF PROPERTIES OF RED BLOOD CELLS MEMBRANES PROTEINS OF DIFFERENT AGE AND SEX VOLUNTEERS.

Considering the age and sex-dependent trend in the manifestation of various diseases, as well as an important pathogenic role of circulatory disorders, we decided to study the age-dependent changes in the physical properties of RBCs membrane proteins (their electric charge and molecular weight) in healthy people of different sex (males and females) and age. Blood of 56 healthy volunteers (Tbilisi, Georgia) of different sex and gender was studied (the patients were divided in 8 groups (7 patients in each groups): 1 - 18-25 years old male, 2 - 18-25 years old female, 3 - 25-44 years old male, 4 - 25-44 years old female, 5 - 44-60 years old male, 6 - 44-60 years old female; 7 - 60-80 years old male, 8 - 70-80 years old female). In groups 6 and 8 were women in menopause was determined according 12 months of amenorrhea.

[The influence of extracorporeal laser radiation on structural indices of erythrocytes].

Object of the research was to study the diffractometric indices of erythrocytes, while 1 ml of the blood of the experimental animals was irradiated extracorporally by helium-neon laser. For this purpose 1 ml blood was taken from normal weight, (1200 gr) grown up shinshila rabbits, that we divided into 7 groups and irradiated with 10 vat helium-neon laser during 0.5-1 minutes.

Blood pressure patterns in urban and rural children and adolescents of the Kakheti region (East Georgia).

Research was conducted in urban and rural areas of the city Telavi in 2012-2013. 493 public school pupils aged 6-18 were studied (267-urban resident, 226-rural resident). Results are grouped separately for all (13) aging clusters.

[Tobacco consumption among teenagers of school age in the East Georgian region of Kakheti].

The aim of the article was to study tobacco consumption in the East Georgian region of Kakheti among rural and urban pupils using the anonymous epidemiological questionnaire. The survey was carried out on 412 pupils aged 15-18 years (220 girls and 192 boys). Research showed that 98,3% of teenagers are informed about tobacco harm; 71,3% of respondents did not know of the dangers of passive smoking.

Influence of the social and economical factors on the indicators of height and weight among the pupils, residents of the city and villages in eastern Georgia (Kakheti region).

The research has been held in the city and its villages among schoolgirls and schoolboys out of them are city (n=613) and village (n=241) residents. The body height and mass, was calculated according to standard methods. Also research based on questionnaires has been held .

Child and adolescent body mass index data according to who new child growth standards in Georgia (Kakheti region).

The Studies were carried in Georgia among 6-18 years old 854 children and adolescent; (417girls, 437 boys). Measurements of weight, height and chest circumference were taken from following standard techniques. The Body Mass Index of each child was computed as weight/height2.

Age related alterations of adrenoreceptor activity in erythrocyte membrane.

The aim of the study was the investigation of age-related functional alterations of adrenoreceptors and the effect of agonist and antagonist drugs on age related adrenoreceptor activity in erythrocyte membrane. The impact of isopropanol and propanol on functional activity β- adrenergic receptors in red blood cell membrane were studied in 50 practically healthy men--volunteers. (I group--75-89 years old, II group--22-30 years old).

Etiopathogenesis of cardiomyopathies: a review.

An article reviews etiopathogenesis of cardiomyopathy. Regardless of the fact that many early days' fundamental investigations are devoted to cardiomyopathy problem, still there is no common consideration concerning the etiology, pathogenesis, morphogenesis, classification and therapy of cardiomyopathy as well. Problem concerning the etiology of cardiomyopathy appear of particular interest.

Hyperthermia-induced morphological changes in cerebral tissue of the rat.

The sensitivity of cerebral tissue to hyperthermia, its immediate effect, manifested by histological changes and the role of local blood flow, blood rheological properties, and the possible role of free radicals in development of mentioned changes have been studied. Through the cranial window local area of cerebral surface was irrigated by artificial CSF heated up to 41, 43 or 45 degrees C. Serial brain coronal sections 50 microm thick were analyzed under light microscope.

Histochemical and enzymehistochemical alterations during experimental cardiomyopathy.

Investigation of ethiology, pathogenesis, morphogenesis, pathokinesis, treatment and prevention of cardiomyopathy is one of the most important problems of cardiology. Last years many scientific forums have been devoted to cardiomyopathy problems and still many issues remain disputable and needs further investigation and definition. In particular, investigation of metabolic processes in cardiac muscle seems of great importance.

[Age related changes of physical-chemical parameters of erythrocytes].

The aim of our study was to investigate age related changes of physical-chemical parameters of erythrocytes. It is known that insufficiency of erythrocytes antioxidant defence system in newborns is a keystone of peculiarities manifested in homeostasis among this group. The excess volume of reactive oxygen determines disorders related to the functioning of cation channels that are represented by decrease of K(+) ions, moderate hydration of erythrocytes and may cause accumulation of intraerythrocyte calcium.

[Changes in the ultrastructure of neuroglia in some regions of the rat brain in manganese chloride poisoning].

Ultrastructure of astrocytes, olygodendrocytes and microgliocytes of caudate nucleus, substantia nigra and frontoparietal area of the cortex were studied under the influence of the everyday peroral treatment with MnCl2.4H2O during 30 days. Experimental animals were divided into two groups.
