Halophytes of Tersko-kumsk Lowland Area, Their Protection and Rational Use
Article provides a brief analytical review of studies of halophilic flora species of Tersko- Kumsk lowland area. The most important representatives are indicated, the adaptive properties of different halophyte groups are considered. Their resource value is noted (fodder, medicinal, melliferous, tannic, etc.). In the systematic aspect, the halophilic flora exhibits Mediterranean features, dicotyledons dominate in it, club-moss and horsetails are completely absent, ferns are minimally present. In the edaphic relation, most species of halophytes are obligate, confined to one type of substrate, and the vast majority of halophytes are confined to the steppe belt, the subalpine belt, the belt of upland xerophytes and the alpine belt are in descending order, least of all halophytes in the forest belt, individual species live in subnival belt.The question of the protection of solonchak vegetation and solonchak steppes as a peculiar ecosystems, with a distinctive landscape and original flora containing a highly specialized ecological group of plants, which testifies to the relationship of the nature of plants with the environment. Halophilic cenoses can serve as indicators of the soil, chemical composition and depth of groundwater
The Most Important Mass Non-Epidemic Diseases and their Socio-Medical Significance
One of the most important results of the implementation of the national project called "Health" which includes three priority areas - the development of primary health care, the provision of high-tech medical care to the population, project management and information support is to strengthen the healthcare system.

ANALYSIS OF POLYMORPHISMS OF RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN-ALDOSTERONE SYSTEM AND RELATION TO VASOPRESSORS IN ESSENTIAL SYSTEMIC HYPERTENSION WITH THE LEFT VENTRICLE HYPERTROPHY IN DAGESTAN REPUBLIC
Aim. To assess the prevalences of genotypes and alleles polymorphisms of reninangiotensin-aldosterone system, and β2-adrenoreceptors, and to evaluate the results in regard to vasopressor levels in blood serum in essential systemic hypertension (ESH) with the left ventricle hypertrophy (LVH) and with none, in Dagestan Republic population.Material and methods. To the assessment, 98 patients included with the diagnosis “essential systemic hypertension with or none LVH”. Genotypes were assessed, of polymorphism A1166C gene AGTR1 and polymorphism Arg16Gly gene ADRB2. The testing of the polymorphisms was performed with allele-specific polymerase chain reaction. Level of angiotensin (At) II, endothelin (et) 1-21 and aldosterone (AS) in blood serum was measured by the hard-phase IeA. Level of ACe was measured by enzymatic method. Statistics was done with the software statistica (version 6.0) and “Biostat 4.03”.Results. In EAH patients with LVH the prevalence of Arg/Arg polymorphism Arg16Gly gene ADRB2 was lower than in control. In EAH with no LVH there is significant decline of AC genotype prevalences of polymorphism A1166C gene AGTR1 and genotype Arg/Arg polymorphism Arg16Gly gene ADRB2. Level of EТ1-21 and АТ II in the group of EAH with no LVH patients was significantly higher than in controls. Level of AT II in EAH with LVH was significantly higher than none LVH group. Increase of the levels of these mediators of AH was followed by a decline of AS level in the groups of patients comparing to controls. In EAH group with LVH significant increase of et 1-21 was associated with the carriage of As polymorphism A1166C gene AGTR1, and genotypes АА and СС of the same polymorphism were associated with the decrease of levels of EТ1-21. In EAH with no LVH a significant decrease of At II level was found in the carriers of AA and AC genotypes of polymorphism A1166C gene AGTR1. Also, the association was found of all genotypes of polymorphism Arg16Gly gene ADRB2 with the decrease of АТ II.Conclusion. In Dagestan population, in EAH with and with no LVH, most significant are genotypes AA, AC and CC of polymorphism A1166C gene AGTR1, and genotypes Arg/Arg, Arg/Gly, Gly/Gly and alleles Arg and Gly polymorphism Arg16Gly gene ADRB2. Pathogenic significance of the mentioned polymorphisms is emphasized by the presence of polymorphism ET1-12, АТ II, Аs in blood serum
ANALYSIS OF ENDEMISM OF THE XEROPHILOUS FLORA IN THE RUSSIAN CAUCASUS
The aim of our research is to study the endemics of the xerophilous flora of the Russian Caucasus in connection with the matter of knowing the genesis.Methods. The study is based on the field research expeditions.Findings. The presence of endemic species in flora is an indicator of its originality, and the degree of originality is determined by the extent of the endemic species. In general, according to our geographic analysis, the number of endemic species in xerophilous flora of the Russian Caucasus accounts for 32% (326 species), of which 25% of all endemic species have natural habitats within entire Caucasus, 66% are widespread in the Greater Caucasus, and 9% in the Pre-Caucasian region.Conclusion. Endemic species of xerophytes of the flora, in their overwhelming majority, are euxerophytes, and most steno-endemics also belong to this group of xerophytes. In a systematic aspect, the leading family, containing the largest number of endemic species, is Asteraceae (in percentage terms - Lamiaceae) and Jurinea is a leading genus (in percentage terms - Psephellus). In relation to the substrate, calcixerophytes are the dominants and most saturated endemics in quantitative terms are the belt of mountain xerophytes. The predominant biomes are hemicryptophytes; as compared with the number of biomorphes, among chamaephytes there is the biggest quantity of endemics
EPIDEMIOLOGY ANALYSIS OF TREATED PATIENTS WITH SKIN LEISHAMIZAM IN DJIZAK REGION (UZBEKISTAN)
According to official data, the incidence of cutaneous leishmaniasis is the last 5 years; in endemic areas, Uzbekistan is growing markedly. Given the increase in the incidence rate among the population of the republic, it is necessary to conduct an annual epidemiological analysis of the detection and spread of this disease, with the aim of timely monitoring and prevention.
