The increasing prevalence of chronic heart failure (CHF) among older people is a global problem. Despite the success of treatment, the mortality rate of these patients remains high, resulting in the need to search for new mechanisms of the development and progression of cardiovascular system pathologies, as well as to develop innovative branches of therapy. Considerable recent interest has been directed towards studying changes in the composition of the intestinal microbiota in people with age, its role in development, as well as potential directions for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and their complications.

MAFLD is now taking on the character of a pandemic. In addition to dietary therapy and physical activity, hepatoprotectors are included in the pharmacotherapy of MAFLD.

The results of the study can be used to correct lipid metabolism in the development of disorders in hyperlipidemia. This makes it possible to expand the scope of use of the studied substance and create new pharmaceuticals based on bis(µ-tartrato)di(μ-hydroxy) germanate (IV) triethanolammonium prevent and inhibit the development of hyperlipidemia.

Objective: To show the interdependence of this condition and mental disorders and their relation to disturbances of melatonin production . Materials and Methods: 15 patients with seasonal DU and 15 healthy subjects of the control group were examined during 3 years using laboratory, endoscopic, and standard psychodiagnostic methods.

The growing cultures on blood agar were exposed to polarized light, red and infrared, ultraviolet of medium- and short-wave continuous modes accustomed in physiotherapy of wounds.The effect of light in some way induced inhibition of the growth, but complete recovery was stated only after the use of ultraviolet light when confirmed quantitatively in terms of the CFU.

It is shown that radiological methods and enteroscopy are second line diagnostic tools while capsule endoscopy becomes the method ofchoice for the detection of latent gastrointestinal bleeding, tumours, Crohn's disease, and other enteropathies. The advantages of capsule enteroscopy include high effectiveness, atraumaticity, low frequency of complications and possibility to conduct studies without anesthesia.

Measurements of lactoferrin in biological media and particularly in the serum of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis proved to be a highly informative test for monitoring the disease course, i.e.

Structural and metabolic basis for perverted regeneration of mucosa near the ulcer under continuous enteral exposure to toxic factor, dose dependence in chronization of acute gastric ulcer were established for the first time.

It was established, that transplantation MMSC, allocated on biodegradative membranes, which have been carried out for 21 day after an irradiation in conditions minor surgical of ulcers, resulted in reduction of the area of local beam defeats and acceleration of healing of skin, in comparison with the control of an irradiation. The introduction of suspension MMSC subcutaneous around of the center of a defeat at 8 day after an irradiation caused earlier healing of ulcers.

Examination stress in the students with a low adaptation grade resulted in increase of response against a background of reduction of attention. The lowest changes in the indications studied have been observed in a group of students with an average adaptation degree.

The authors first established the structural and metabolic bases of mucosal regeneration defects in the region of an ulcer upon chronic enteral exposure to the toxic agent and the dose dependence of the chronic nature of acute gastric ulcer.

In order to reduce bloodflow intensity and arteriovenous shunting, repeated endovascular occlusion and transcutaneous ligature of regional vessels from the carotid artery basin feeding the pathological zone was carried out followed by resection of this tumor-like vascular formation.

It was found that transplantation of fetal fibroblasts and fibroblast-like mesenchymal stem cells on the burn surface reduces cell infiltration, promotes the formation of vessels and granulation tissue, which creates conditions for more rapid healing of the burn wounds.
