ОСОБЕННОСТИ ОСНОВНЫХ ПОКАЗАТЕЛЕЙ ФИЗИЧЕСКОГО РАЗВИТИЯ ПОДРОСТКОВ В ТОМСКОЙ ОБЛАСТИ

Objective. To study the physical growth and development of adolescents (aged 13–16 years) living in the Tomsk region. Material and Methods. This study is a framework (№299 from 18.07.2011) of the Department of Health Care of Tomsk region, we analyzed the results of medical examinations of adolescents (n = 7120, average age 13.98 ± 0.04, 49.87% – boys). Measurements of height and weight, the circumference of the chest and head (data rounded to 0.1 kg and 0.1 cm, respectively) are taken. The body mass index (BMI) is calculated as the ratio of weight (kg) / height2 (m2). Statistical analysis was performed using the software package Statistica for Windows 10.0 and the software StatCalc 6.0.Results. Average height of adolescents is (163.10 ± 0.09) cm. On Average boys are taller than girls ((165.34 ± 0.15) cm and (160.87 ± 0.11) cm, p < 0.001). The body weight is (53.99 ± 0.13) kg (boys – (55.28 ± 0.20) kg, girls – (52.72 ± 0.17) kg, p < 0.001). Boys chest circumference is (79.26 ± 0.30) cm, girls is (79.99 ± 0.13) cm, head circumference are (55.43 ± 0.07) cm and (54.77 ± 0.04) cm, respectively (p < 0.01). The results show difference between Tomsk boys and rest of the Russia Federation. The average BMI is (20.20 ± 0.04) kg/m2 (girls – (20.32 ± 0.07), boys – (20.08 ± 0.06) kg/m2). The urban lifestyle in Tomsk Region leads to boys obesity.Conclusion. The study revealed the regional physical growth and development characteristics. Anthropometric data in Tomsk region adolescents are higher than the same data in RF.Цель исследования: изучить особенности физического развития подростков, проживающих в Томской области.Материал и методы. В настоящем исследовании проанализированы результаты диспансеризации подростков в возрасте 13–16 лет, проведенной в рамках распоряжения Департамента здравоохранения Томской области № 299 от 18.07.2011 (7120 человек, средний возраст (13,98 ± 0,04) года). Проводили измерение длины и массы тела (данные фиксировали с точностью до 0,1 кг и 0,1 см соответственно), окружности груди и головы с точностью до 0,1 см. Индекс массы тела (ИМТ) рассчитывали как соотношение вес (кг) / рост (м2). Статистическую обработку результатов проводили при помощи пакета программ Statistica for Windows 10.0 и программного продукта StatCalc 6.0.Результаты. Средний рост включенных в исследование подростков составил (163,10 ± 0,09) см, юноши имели более высокий рост при сравнении с девушками ((165,34 ± 0,15) и (160,87 ± 0,11) см, р < 0,001). Средняя масса тела участников исследования составила (53,99 ± 0,13) кг (юноши – (55,28 ± 0,20) кг, девушки – (52,72 ± 0,17) кг, р < 0,001). При сравнении со средними антропометрическими российскими показателями выявлено, что ростовые показатели подростков, а также масса тела юношей Томской области превышали аналогичные средние показатели по России. Средний показатель окружности груди у мальчиков составил (79,26 ± 0,30) см, у девочек – (79,99 ± 0,13) см, окружности головы – (55,43 ± 0,07) и (54,77 ± 0,04) см соответственно, р < 0,01. При сравнении с общероссийскими показателями выявлены более высокие показатели окружности головы и груди у подростков Томской области. Среднее значение ИМТ у подростков составило (20,20 ± 0,04) кг/м2, (девушки – (20,32 ± 0,07), юноши – (20,08 ± 0,06) кг/м2). Стратификация детей по ИМТ в зависимости от пола и района проживания выявила ассоциацию ожирения с мужским полом и городским образом жизни.Заключение. ВМЛВ. Проведенное исследование позволило выявить региональные особенности физического развития детей. Антропометрические показатели подростков в Томской области характеризуется более высокими данными роста, массы тела, окружности груди и головы в сравнении с аналогичными параметрами в РФ

Rendering medical aid to acne patients. Results of an expert examination of the quality of medical aid

Goal. To obtain information on typical errors in medical aid rendered to acne patients in dermatovenerology dispensaries in St. Petersburg in order to develop measures to improve the quality of medical aid rendered to this group of patients. Materials and methods. The authors conducted a special expert examination of 55 patients with acne who received treatment at St. Petersburg dermatovenerology dispensaries in 2013. The quality of medical aid was assessed using the Automated Expert Examination Technique (hereinafter referred to as AEET). Major results. The percentage of cases when medical aid of due quality was rendered to acne patients was 49%. Treatment and diagnostics errors prevailed in the structure of errors in medical aid. Errors in treatment were mainly a wrong combination of drugs, simultaneous administration of external and systemic antibacterial drugs, delayed comedolytic therapy and pathogenically infeasible therapy. Errors in diagnostics included absence of indications of the form and/or severity of acne. The most important error in the collection of information was absence of gynecology examinations for women to determine whether peroral contraceptives were necessary including in case of the administration of isotretinoin. Conclusion. The similarity of errors in medical aid rendered for acne as well as high percentage of errors relating to medical aid rendered to patients demand the development of consistent measures to improve the quality of medical aid rendered to such patients and repeated expert examination using preliminary (prompt) control of the quality of medical aid

Biotechnology approaches to overcome biotic and abiotic stress constraints in legumes

Biotic and abiotic stresses cause significant yield losses in legumes and can significantly affect their productivity. Biotechnology tools such as marker-assisted breeding, tissue culture, in vitro mutagenesis and genetic transformation can contribute to solve or reduce some of these constraints. However, only limited success has been achieved so far. The emergence of “omic” technologies and the establishment of model legume plants such as Medicago truncatula and Lotus japonicus are promising strategies for understanding the molecular genetic basis of stress resistance, which is an important bottleneck for molecular breeding. Understanding the mechanisms that regulate the expression of stress-related genes is a fundamental issue in plant biology and will be necessary for the genetic improvement of legumes. In this review, we describe the current status of biotechnology approaches in relation to biotic and abiotic stresses in legumes and how these useful tools could be used to improve resistance to important constraints affecting legume crops.E.
