Biocompatible drugs-protectors against radiation exposure: a modern view on the problem
Khabriev R.U., Mingazova E.N., Sidorov V.V., Gureev S.A., Yusupova M.M.
Abstract
The article provides an overview of current ideas about clinically promising radioprotective agents that have the ability to potentially mitigate radiation exposure, for example, to special contingents (military personnel and emergency services). Particular attention is paid to research on the potential of a potential radioprotector/radiomitigator to block radiation-induced mutagenesis and hence carcinogenesis, since some medical procedures (e. g., computed axial tomography) are associated with exposure to low doses of radiation. An ideal radiosensitizer to be used as an adjunct to radiotherapy would be one with low toxicity, high radiosensitizing efficacy for hypoxic cells, the least effect on normal cells, and minimal impact on other treatments. There are the following groups of drugs that counteract ionizing radiation: preventing initial radiation injury; repairing molecular damage caused by radiation; stimulating the proliferation of surviving stem cells and precursor cells (immunomodulators, growth factors and cytokines). The mechanisms of action of radioprotectors are divided into 10 categories: trapping free radicals; increased DNA repair; cell synchronization; modulation of genes sensitive to oxidation-reduction; modulation of growth factors and cytokines; suppression of apoptosis; drug repurposing; interaction and chelation of radionuclides; tissue regeneration therapies such as gene therapy and stem cell therapy.

Conflict of interest in retail sales of medicines: raising an issue
Matveev A.G., Mezentseva E.S.
Abstract
Legislative regulation of contacts related to conflicts of interest has also affected the pharmaceutical business. Both objective and subjective factors can influence on the pharmacists’ performance of their professional duties. First of all is an impossibility and inexpedient to inform the patient about all available interchangeable medicines. Second one is the personal (sometimes property) interest of a pharmacist in promoting certain trade names. In this case, the issue of a conflict of interest can be raised. The concept of a conflict of interest in pharmaceutical business proposed by the Federal Law on the Basis of Public Health Protection does not disclose the concept of personal interest and, moreover, the legal structure of a conflict of interest, due to the problematic nature of its proof. This is does not add efficiency to the legal regulation of retail sales of medicines. Legal regulation of the pharmacists’ duties and ethical requirements for the impartiality and objectivity of their activities are sufficient standards for the relationship between a pharmacist and a patient.

Khuzikhanov F.V., Nigmatzyanova R.R.
Abstract
Analysis of the activities of any organization over the past period is an important element in forecasting future plans, in the development and adoption of management decisions in order to improve the efficiency of their work. In order to identify patterns in the activities of the Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology (CHaE), it is necessary to analyze the activities over a number of years, which makes it possible to develop and make rational decisions.Purpose: to study some aspects of the activities of the CHaE in Kazan from 2012 to 2019.Methods: retrospective, analytical, mathematical.Results. Every year there are changes in the structure of the CHaE staff. There is an increase in the number of junior and other medical personnel, and there are no significant changes among other specialists with higher education. As part of the equipment of the new laboratory building, more than 500 units of equipment that meets all modern requirements were purchased. Before the mass events in 2012, the total number of studies conducted was 1,457,869, and since 2013, when the Universiade was held, the number of studies increased by 30% and amounted to 2,082,671. Over the past 7 years, the number of studies conducted has remained virtually unchanged, and remains at a high level, because the period of one mass event is superimposed on the period of preparation for the next one. During the preparation and holding of mass events, working groups were created in which issues and problems related to the preparation and holding of Championships were discussed and resolved.Conclusion. For the rational organization and management of the activities of the CHaE during the preparation and holding of mass events, it is necessary to differentiate and develop a management model in order to plan in advance the personnel, material, technical, and financial support in the CHaE, the purpose of which is to optimize the work of the center, and ultimately reduce economic costs, rationalize the burden on employees, effectively use equipment, prevent the occurrence and spread of infectious diseases, epidemics and poisoning.

Socio-medical aspects of dental prosthetics of elderly patients who have had COVID-19
Kopytov A.A., Volkova O.A., Ovchinnikov I.V.
Abstract
The intensity of the spread of COVID-19 leads to the formation of individual groups dependent on the nature of the pandemic, both somatically and psychologically. It is proved that obsessive thoughts about the likelihood of COVID-19 disease or the condition after the disease are powerful factors for the appearance of stress. They negatively affect people's social activity. It was revealed that the current situation leads to the provision of dental care to former patients with COVID-19, including through the manufacture of removable plate prostheses. Getting used to dentures in the oral cavity and their use leads to the emergence and increase of stress. It has been demonstrated that the complex effects of psychological stress, post-ovoid somatics and the body's reaction to a foreign body in the mouth entail a synergistic effect. It manifests itself in an imbalance of physiological, psychological and social constants. From the point of view of rehabilitation of dental patients who have previously had COVID-19 and received complete removable prostheses, we attribute sleep and breathing disorders to strong changes. It is concluded that intrusive thoughts and post-cortical somatics, enhanced by the imposition of prostheses, cause acute insomnia and motivate patients to remove prostheses. This leads to a calmer state characterized by habitual articulation and breathing. But the need to return to appearance and chewing functions lead patients to additional somatic and psychological experiences, causing acute insomnia, which entails additional stress effects and, as a result, a decrease in social activity.

Shulaev A.V., Chernobrovkina G.I.
Abstract
As part of the study, the associations of iron deficiency conditions with lifestyle and psychological health in women were studied. The authors found positive correlations in the ferritin level dependence model with the following factors: the level of total blood protein (p < 0.001), the consumption of beef liver (p < 0.001), the consumption of vegetables, fruits, fresh herbs 3 or more times a week (p < 0.001), eating meat every day (p < 0.001). Negative correlations were noted with factors: bedtime after 11 pm (p < 0.001) and bedtime after 00.00 (p < 0.001). An analysis of the factors influencing the level of total protein showed that its decrease is affected by marital status in the «divorced» status (p = 0.006), situational anxiety (p = 0.007), difficulty falling asleep (p < 0.001), frequent interruption of sleep (p = 0.001) the quality and consumption of carbohydrates each day (p = 0.021). Based on the results of the study, a cognitive-behavioral model of the development of iron deficiency conditions was described for the first time, which made it possible to start developing a relevant prevention program.

Zuparova Z.A., Khaidarov V.R., Ismoilova G.M., Mirrakhimova T.A.
Abstract
Recently, herbal medicines have gained particular popularity for the prevention and treatment of immunodeficiency states, since preparations based on medicinal herbal raw materials differ from their synthetic analogues in low toxicity, wide spectrum of action, and good tolerance in therapeutic doses.The study of the range of immunomodulatory and immunostimulating drugs using content analysis for the 2016-2021 is the goal of this study.Materials and methods. The State Registers of Medicines and Medical Devices of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 2016-2021 were used as an object in the analysis process.Results. Study of the range of immunomodulating and immunostimulating drugs registered in the Republic of Uzbekistan for the 2016-2021. revealed the diversity both in relation to manufacturers in the context of countries, and in relation to the dosage forms themselves. Among immunomodulators and immunostimulants, the share of imports of these drugs amounted to 87.28% of their total amount. Leadership in dosage forms are injectable solutions. The largest share of the source of origin of the above drugs falls on non-herbal medicines, 91.7%.Conclusion. Thus, the creation and introduction into the production of drugs of immunomodulatory and immunostimulating action based on local medicinal plant raw materials is very relevant for our Republic of Uzbekistan.

Petrukhina I.K., Yagudina R.I., Ryazanova T.K., Khusainova A.I., Egorova A.V., Blinkova P.R.
Abstract
In the study there were analysed the indicative indicators of the implementation of the federal program «Essential Medicine Provision» in 23 constituent entities of the Russian Federation.The purpose of this study was to analyse the features of the implementation of the federal program in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in 2020.Materials and methods. The data were received in the form of responses to specially developed request cards from the health authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. In the study there were used methods of comparative, structural, logical and content analysis, as well as the method of grouping data.Results. The results obtained in the course of the study indicate a significant variation in the values of the indicators of the implementation of the federal program, which may be due to differences in the contingent of beneficiaries, in the structure of their morbidity, as well as in the structure of the range of prescribed medicines. The amount of actual costs per month per 1 beneficiary who applied in the studied subjects of the Russian Federation exceeded the standards of financial costs per month established by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation per citizen receiving state social assistance in the form of a set of social services.Discussion. The results obtained confirm the previously identified problems in the field of preferential medicine provision, caused by the refusal of federal beneficiaries to receive state social assistance in the form of a set of social services in favor of monetary compensation.Conclusion. The creation of a unified federal register of citizens entitled to the provision of medicines, medical devices and specialized health food products at the expense of budgetary allocations from the federal budget and the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation represents a promising opportunity for correct forecasting and accounting of the expenditure of public funds, as well as monitoring the correctness of prescriptions and quality of medical care.

Pharmacies of Smolensk province (XVIII-early XX century)
Konopleva E.L., Konoplev O.A.
Abstract
The aticle is devoted to the history of pharmacy business in Smolensk province - a typical province of the European part of Russia. The activity of private, factory, city and zemstvo pharmacies is analyzed. The formation of zemstvo and town pharmacies took place against the background of legislative restrictions protecting commercial interests of private pharmacy owners. The activities of local government pharmacies were socially oriented, as their main objective was to provide the poorest strata of the population with affordable and high-quality medicines, rather than to make a profit. From the very beginning of its existence, zemstvo council of the Smolensk province have set the task of providing the rural population not only with free medical consultations, but also with free medicines in full. For half a century, the Zemstvo pharmacy business has gone through a difficult evolutionary path from fourteen pharmacies in 1865 to forty pharmacies in 1916. Since Smolensk city authorities were deprived of an opportunity to establish cheap city pharmacies, citizens of the provincial centre could get free medicine in the pharmacies at the outpatient clinic of the local Charitable Society (1872), the provincial Zemstvo Hospital (1875), the Society of Smolensk Doctors (1892) and the Smolensk Community of Sisters of Charity ROKK (1897), in the city outpatient clinic (1903).
