818%), Cr (0.274%), and Na (3.611%) in breast milk of women with PD. Children born to mothers with PD had a significantly increased level of Cr (0.92%), S (0.578%) and P (0.169%), Na (0.107%), Ca (56.041%), and Zn (7.149%). CONCLUSION Conclusions PD has a negative impact on the pregnancy and labor and may be one of the factors causing the mineral imbalance of breast-fed infant.OBJECTIVE The aim of investigation was to study the structural and functional conditions of cortical and trabecular layers of lumbar vertebrae L1-L5 in different age groups. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods In order to assess BMD of the lumbar vertebrae 102 people18 to 75 years old was examined. Study of bone mineral density cortical and trabecular layer of lumbar vertebrae (L1-L5) performed by computed tomography in Hounsfield Units (HU) in terms of standard deviation (SD). RESULTS Results The results of computed tomography showed a direct relationship of bone mineral density of lumbar vertebrae with age of examined persons. Osteoporosis and osteopenia was registered in 15% of men and 30% women in middle adulthood, in late adulthood - 35% and 50% respectively. During early old age osteopenia and osteoporosis are observed in 37,5% and 25% of men and 26% and 64% women. Osteoporosis in the middle old age has been reported in 50% of men and 75% of women. CONCLUSION Conclusions Results of the study showed a direct link between mineral density, age and gender. The middle adulthood age period was characterized by the highest mineral mass compared with the other age periods. Then there is a loss of bone mass throughout life, and with the onset of aging osteopenia and osteoporosis are recorded. It was investigated that in the early old age, loss of bone mass is mainly observed in female.OBJECTIVE The aim was to investigate SNPs of TLR-2,3,4, NOD2/CARD15, JAK-2, and IL-10 in patients with the early and late UC onset. PATIENTS AND METHODS Matherials and methods 126 patients with UC were investigated. To assess the predisposition of the early and late UC onset the incidence of the following SNPs Arg753Gln TLR2 gene, Phe412Leu TLR3 gene, Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile TLR4 gene, C-819T, G-1082A and C-592A gene IL-10, Val617Phe gene JAK2, Gly908Arg gene NOD2/CARD15 were analyzed. RESULTS Results 76 patients had early disease onset and 50 had a late one. SNPs of TLR3 were observed in 50.8% cases. TLR4 polymorphism was more common than TLR3, and was observed in 81 (64.3%) UC patients. Polymorphism of NOD2/CARD15 and IL-10 genes were revealed with almost the same frequency 49 (38.9%) and 50 (39.9%) patients, respectively. CONCLUSION Conclusions Polymorphisms of TLR-2,3 genes and TLR4 Asp299Gly, NOD2/CARD15 prevailed in patients with the late UC onset that allows to suppose that bacterial flora plays one of the key roles in modification of immune response and UC development. In patients with early UC onset polymorphisms of the JAK2 and IL-10 genes prevailed responsible for the cytokine cascade activation and cause the immune mechanism that might lead to a more aggressive course of the disease.OBJECTIVE The aim To study the possibilities of ultrasound in adhesive ileus obstruction diagnosis and indications for surgical treatment determination. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods The results of diagnosis and treatment of 60 patients with acute adhesive intestinal obstruction with comparative use of X-ray and ultrasound methods were analyzed. MK-2206 research buy RESULTS Results The use of a standard X-ray examination of the abdominal organs upon admission to the hospital allowed the diagnosis of acute adhesions of small bowel obstruction in only 32 (53.3%) patients. Transabdominal ultrasonography allowed the establishment of adhesive ileus during hospitalization in 53 (88.3%) patients and also in 7 (11.7%) during a dynamic examination 2-3 hours after admission. Due to the lack of positive effect from the conducted conservative therapy relying on the data of u
