Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the heaviest complications of diabetes and also is one of the principal causes of reduced vision and blindness. The leading part in the development of diabetic retinopathy belongs to retina hypoxia. Uniform pathogenesis and generality of clinical attributes allow considering diabetic maculopathy (DMP) as a frequent case of diabetic retinopathy. DMP is characterized by presence of the broadest spectrum of changes in macular areas. Even not rough early manifestations of diabetes in macula can become the catastrophe for central sight. Invalidity of young people of able-bodied age creates serious problems of not only medical, but also social and economic character. At present stage there was formed the tendency to increase informativeness and maximal objectivization of early diagnostics methods. Optical coherent tomography (ОКТ) allows defining objective attributes of diabetic maculopathy. ОКТ reveals changes of thickness of macular and peri-pappilary retina zones at pre-clinical stage of diabetic retinopathy.

Abstract
Diabetes and its complications is one of the major medical-social and economic problems of present-day public health service. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is considered as late complications of diabetes. Progressing of diabetic retinopathy (DR), as a rule, occurs consistently from small initial manifestations which are characterized by increased retinal vascular permeability (nonproliferative retinopathy) up to changes connected with vessels occlusion (preproliferative retinopathy), and then up to the heaviest stage of diabetic retina lesion which is characterized by growth of neogenic vessels and glial tissue (proliferative retinopathy). Central oedema is one of the principal causes of sight decrease at patients with diabetes. Cone electroretinogram (CERG) on white stimulus reflects electric activity of photopic (cone) retina system function and dependence on amount of healthy functioning cells of this system in retina central departments. CERG allows diagnosing retina functional changes at pre-clinical stage of diabetic retinopathy development.

Abstract
The aim of research: to study the influence of immunization of children by ribomunyl and the combined application of «teotard» (theophylline) + ribomunyl on IFN-g/IL-4 ratio in PBMCs culture in children with bronchial asthma (BA). Materials and methods. 90 children with BA were divided in 2 groups. 1st group (60 children received ribomunyl) was subdivided into two subgroups on the basis of tuberculine intraskin tests: subgroup A included 30 children with normergy; subgroup B - 30 children with anergy. 2nd group included 30 children who received «teotard» during 2 weeks, and then - ribomunyl. IL-4 and IFN-g production in PBMCs culture with mytogens and without stimulation was assessed by ELISA. Results. After the completion of the therapy indicated the reliable increase of IFN-g/IL-4 ratio in both stimulated and unstimulated cultures was registered in group 1 A. In group 1 B IFN-g/IL-4 ratio remained significantly reduced (р <0,05). In group 2 IFN-g/IL-4 ratio was also reliably increased. Conclusions. Influence of ribomunyl on IL-4 and IFN- g synthesis by PBMCs in vitro, depends on an initial condition of immune system of children. Administration of a prolonged theophylline preparation "teotard" and the subsequent immunization with ribomunyl renders positive regulatory effect on immune cells functioning in children with BA, having an anergy condition.

Abstract
Diagnostic value of duplex angiography for deep veins valve investigation been assessed. Retrograde phlebography (femoral or popliteal) have been choozen as referent method («gold standard»). The following criteria were took for account: accuracy, sensivity, specific and prognostic value of the positive and negative result. Figures of the duplex angiography stable charecteristics (sensivity and specific) indicates that the method may be useful for estimating femoral or popliteal veins valves condition. For the both segments predictive value of the negative result was higher then the positive. The analisis shows ability of the colour Doppler ultrasonography to be used as a screening and monitor method, because it leads to indicate most of the valve pathology among the varicose diesis patients and allow to estimate efficacy of the correction treatment. It is also may be used as a step in diagnostic for detecting the patients requiring deeper and more expensive invasive examination.

Abstract
The most imported evaluation criterion of spreading the tuberculosis is an index of the population’s infection by the tuberculosis mycobacteriums. The index of infection characterizes a reservoir volume of the tuberculosis infection and thereby a probability of initiation of the new cases of sickness. The maximum infected in favorable for epidemiological relation regions are among adults. And vice versa, a displacement to the age of children and teenagers gives the tuberculosis trouble. In condition of mass BCG vaccination the index everywhere is not calculated because the positive tuberculin probes appear in the infection and post vaccination immunity.

Abstract
Metabolic consequences of introduction of dinyl on the concentration of free amino acids and their derivatives in animal’s tissues have been investigated in experiment on rats. The influence of taurine which was introduced together with dinyl on the spectrum of determined parameters also has been investigated. It has been revealed, that the peripheral action of taurine, which was introduced together with dinyl, is realized through the activation of the anabolic processes. The changes in tissues of the various departments of the brain at the animals receiving dinyl can have the relationship with clinical presentations of intoxication of dinyl. The course introduction of taurine on this background causes of the considerable changes in the concentration of the transmitter amino acid, biogenic amines, their metabolites and precursors. The analysis of the received data allows to make the conclusion about adaptive importance of observable changes. They confirm a role of taurine as compound optimizing the metabolic processes in the conditions of metabolic stress, both in the peripheral tissues, and the central nervous system.

Abstract
Using the State Registry database there was composed the group including all people who stayed in the evacuation zone during the early post accident period not taking into account to what group of the primary account they belonged to. The provided analysis of the State Registry data about the population staying in the evacuation zone during the early post accident period showed that the dose filling of the existing databases is of current importance from the scientific and practical point of view. The using of place and terms of staying in the radiation exposure zone criteria not depending on the group of the primary account including the filling of databases with existing dosimetry information are considered to be the adequate ones for formation of groups with various dose burdens. The suggested approach can serve as the basis for optimization of the medical provision for the affected population on frequency and amount of treatment-diagnostic manipulations and also for providing long-term radiation-epidemiological studies.
