G.Natadze Scientific-Research Institute of Sanitary, Hygiene and Medical Ecology, TSMU, Department of Preventive Medicine and Environmental Health, Tbilisi, Georgia
Radon problem in Georgia is considered to be very acute problem due to geo-ecological, ethnic-sociological and medico-biological characteristics of the country. XX century is a century of population mass movement from wooden houses into b rick, block and cement block ones, that has in increased radon implementation in dwellings et large scale. At the same time, growing usage of thermal waters and natural gas for heating purposes have worsened the existing radio-hygienic situation. Radon problem in Georgia can be solved through the governmental national program on the basis of modern technology.

G..Natadze Scientific - Resarch Institute Of Sanitary, Hygiene And Medical Ecology, Tbilisi, Georgia
Many deseases, that previously considered to be as professional ones and appeared only among people employed in the factories, are now found in those layers of population that don’t have any industrial contacts with toxic substansies. The aim of the work was to study the dust quality of residential buildings in Zestafoni and manganese content of dust in order to determine the influence of manganese processing plant. The studies revealed the affects of Zestafoni manganese processing plant on dusting of residential living area, which contained large amount of dioxide manganese. The highest amount of dioxide manganese was revealed in the dust samples taken in the balconies, two third decrease of this amount was observed in the living-rooms and bedrooms of the same area. At the same time, in comparison to the first floor, it is higher in the samples of dust taken in the second floor. Thus, in comparison to Tbilisi control sample (manganese dioxide content< 1,0mkg), Zestafoni residential areas are characterised by high dusting and high manganese dioxide content of the dust.

Each year, disasters trigger devastating losses in human lives and economic assets. In particular, climate-related (e.g., hydrological, meteorological) hazards affect this increasing number of people and cause increasingly large economic losses. There is increasing evidence that human health will be affected in many and diverse ways. Although considerable research has been conducted on many aspects related to the geological and biological impacts of climate change, little is known about the specific impacts on the future well-being of the world’s population and how they are related to our ability to adapt to changing climate conditions. Knowledge is still limited in many areas. The purpose of the review - We’re focused on the climate-related disasters, which affect a large population in a widespread geographic region. Describing their general effects on health, it does not pretend to cover every contingency. In - Review of recent literature has shown that the public health consequences of disasters are complex. Climate-related hazards directly impact the health of the population resulting in physical trauma, acute disease and emotional trauma. In addition, they may increase the morbidity and mortality associated with chronic disease and infectious disease through the impact on the health care system.

THE TREATMENT OF CONGENITAL HIP DISLOCATION BY «OVER-HEAD» METHOD
J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2012, 4, pp.56-61
Scientific Center of Traumatology and Orthopedy, Yerevan, Republic of Armenia
This article represents the results of treatment of 264 children with congenital dislocation which were treated by the «over-head» method. The main contingent of children are with late diagnosed hip dislocation in total 235 patients (89%) or with non- repositioned dislocation at this age due to the previous failed treatment of 29 patients (11%). Long-term results from 1 to 5 years were analyzed among 185 (approximately 70.1%) patients. Good and satisfactory results were obtained among 154 (83.2%). Traction by the «over-head» method facilitates closed reduction or reduction occurs during stretching. It is considered to be a physiological and functional method for the treatment of children with dislocation of the femoral head from the 1-4 grades according to Tonys, for the age group of 5 months to 3 years.
In modern literature the issues of conservative treatment of children with congenital hip dislocation (CHD) are widely covered. As we know, the most difficult and crucial step in the treatment of CHD is the process of bringing down the thigh to the acetabulum and the reduction of dislocation, a process which is complicated in direct proportion to age. Regardless of the age of the child, the only principle of treatment should be gradual reposition of dislocation and rejection of forced manipulation. According to the world literature, the greatest number of complications, failures, and aseptic necrosis of the femoral head occur especially during this phase [1,3,4,5,7,9].

With the use of cytolysogram method Erythrocytes’ mechanical resistance, with the use of photoelectro-colorymetry method Erythrocytes’ osmotic resistance, and using biomicroscopy the mesenteric microhemocirculation during Crush syndrome in adult male rats has been studied.
Investigations were carried out at different periods of compression – in 3 or 6 hours before compression and on 1, 6 and 12 hours of postcompression period. Experiments revealed that Erythrocytes’ mechanical and osmotic resistance decreases, especially during the decompression period. Microhemocirculation in intact tissues is disordered. Severity of disorders depends on the duration of compression /decompression periods.
Developed disorders of Erythrocytes’ resistance and microhemocirculation could be considered as one of the major reasons of generalized hypoxia developed during crush syndrome.

RA, National Bureau of Expertises, Yerevan, Armenia
There are four types of poisonous snakes in Armenia. All of them belong to the viper family. It is important to know that the snake bite is a self-defensive action, which is usually caused by the human carelessness or aggressive behavior. The most complete support in cases of venomous snakes bite is injection of antitoxic serum to the affected person.
Bite of Gyurza snake is dangerous and in case of delayed medical care it can end tragically. Main symptoms of intoxication by Gyurza’s poison are similar to other Viper family snakes and include pain at the site of inoculation of the poison, also development of hemorrhagic edema, which in some cases can reach enormously large sizes. Self-medication is not allowed and it is necessary to take qualified medical aid.
If during the forensic autopsy examiner surmise the poisoning by snake venom, some material shall be taken from the body to search venom antigens. In forensic laboratory the blood, kidneys, liver, skin, lungs, brain, spleen, bladder, different bones, ear of corpse must be investigated.

Oxidation reactions of fatty acids taking place in mitochondria constitute around 65-80% of energy source in cancer cells – active fatty acid is transported into mitochondria through carnation. For the trials we used 12 cases of lung carcinoma and 8 cases of squalors epithelial cell carcinomas of cervix – cellular cultures from surgical and biopsied materials belonging to various patients. We cultivated cancer cells: 1. nutritional areas rich with carnation; 2. nutritional area with identical amounts of carnation as in human blood plasma (control sample); 3. nutritional area without traces of carnation. Metabolically activity of cancer cells was assessed according to existing levels of matrix RNA and total levels of ATP. Metabolism of cancer cells increased by 34.7% in nutritional areas rich with carnation; total ATP levels increased by 75.7%. In the meantime, metabolism in cancer cells decreased by 30.5% in nutritional areas without carnation, and general levels of ATP decreased by 69.1%. Eventually, metabolism data for cancer cells is indirectly proportionate to total levels of ATP in the same cells.

TSMU Department of Surgery N1, Direction of Surgical Diseases, Tbilisi, Georgia
Tuberculosis is one of the rare causes of bowel obstruction. The intestinal form of tuberculosis may occur together with lung tuberculosis or isolated. Despite the fact, that tuberculosis is mostly responding to the conservative treatment, complicated intestinal forms often require surgical treatment. In the case of intestinal obstruction due to tuberculosis, a character of surgical intervention is determined by localization of the process, presence of adhesions in the abdominal cavity and patient’s general condition.
The article describes the history of 62-year-old woman’s disease, who was admitted to hospital with a diagnosis of intestinal obstruction. During surgery it was found out that the wall of terminal loop of small intestine and ceacum was thickened, compressed, lumen of the bowel was narrowed. The diagnose of Crohn’s disease was suspected. Resection of the ileum and right colon, followed by with ileotransversoanastomosis has been performed. Microscopic investigation of the resected part of the bowel revealed tuberculosis in the terminal ileum and ceacum. The patient was discharged from the hospital without complications on 8th postoperative day.

Cancer morbidity and mortality in the next decades will increase in all regions of the world according to the estimation of the WHO experts. Goal of the study was to estimate the awareness of women in the recommendations of early detection of breast and cervical cancers. Study methods: in two groups of women was conducted cross-sectional study. Randomly were selected study participants among women who had visited Georgian National Screening Center and teachers and parents from the schools located nearby the center. Respondents were interviewed by using standard questionnaire. To estimate differences in the awareness on early detection of cancer between two groups of women was calculated odds ratio and 95% of confidence interval. Study data was processed by using statistical program EpiInfo. Results: Study included 150 participants from the screening center and 120 women selected from the schools. Awareness on the age of the first prophylactic examination of breast in two groups of women were almost the same and low (30% and 27% accordingly, OR=1.0, 95%CI=0.5-1.8); but women from the screening center showed high level of the awareness regarding frequency of breast screening (OR=7.4, 95%CI=4.1-13.6). To the question “when should be started cervical screening”, women from the schools were more likely to give true answers (OR=0.7, 95%CI=0.4-1.2). However, the awareness about the time intervals between preventive examinations of cervix was higher among the women from the screening center. Decisions and Recommendations: About 70% of participants are not aware about recommendations regarding preventive examinations; Should be increased the role of family doctors in improving the awareness of population about early detection of cancer.

ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION, THROMBOCYTE AND DEPRESSION
J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2012, 4, pp.103-104
Shota Rustaveli State University, Batumi, Georgia
The aim of the subject is to represents the connection of the Arterial Hypertension & thrombocyte number in blood & to find prevention ways. A clinical case of depression symptoms as outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) is a disorder with both physical and mental characteristics that negatively disrupts an individual's ability to function day to day in social and work environments. We’ve searched for the clinical methods in Batumi Republic Hospital departments.30 patient is studied by us – 15 women & 15 men. Among them, 20 patients were fallen ill with Arterial Hypertension, 5 with Ischemic insult & 5 – with Discirculating Encephalopathy. We’ve the question are of Beck. According to which we were able to ascertain the depression quality. The question are consists of 21 questions; by them it was possible to ascertain depression qualities light, medium & complex. The depression quality was defined s follows: the absence of depression in 13%; mild depression in 17%; medium – 30% and severe in 60%. Thus, Depression quality is very high in people with Arterial Hypertension. The number of thrombocyte is high also. Thrombocytes depression causes significant changes in the function, Thrombocytes Activation, Thrombosis increases the risk. So, it’s necessary to treat this patient with Antithrombotic medicines and Antidepressants. That will contribute to solving the problem.

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2012, 4, pp.104-106
A. Natishvili Institute of Morphology, Tbilisi, Georgia
We have investigated Georgian women’s features of the female pelvis. In our study we used the pelvis classification of W. Caldwell and H.Moloy (1933) (they selected four types of the pelvis: gynecoid, android, platipeloid and anthropoid). The women recently confined and their new-born children’s characteristics of the physical development were also investigated.
450 practically healthy women at the age of 17-44 were investigated according to the method known as the method of the external pelviometry, adopted in obstetric practice. According to our study the tendency of a contracted pelvis has increased. The pelvis of the gynecoid type had 218 women, pelvis contracted to different extents – 232 women. According to the constitutional type, the pelvis of the gynecoid type had mostly women of the mesosomic constitution, and contracted pelvis – women of the leptosomic constitution. Between the formes contracted pelvis much more of the anthropoid pelvis was evidenced.

Union of Georgia – Foreign Countries Friendship International Society Preventive Cardiologic Room, Ltd “DEKA”, Tbilisi, Georgia
The aim of the above work was to study the violation of lipid metabolism among adults and people of young generation as well. Accordingly, our research was performed in Preventive Cardiologic Roomof“DEKA” Ltd within 2010-2012 years on two groups of age: the first – group of adults from 10 to 24 years including, and the second - the group of young people from 25- up to 30 years old.Upon the whole, the both groups consisted of 28 researched persons were distributed into equal numbers ( accordingly 14 and 14 in each).In the I age group there were not detected high numbers of cholesterin, but instead of it, increasing lipoproteids of law density made up 86%, as for triglycerides are concerned, increasing of their level was showed only in 14%. In the I group high numbers of cholesterin was depicted in 64% of the cases. As for lipoproteids of law density were 86%, as it was shown in the I group; increasing of triglycerides achieved 71%, which is completely reversed, in compare to the first group. So, violation of lipid metabolism in both groups of adults and young generation is expressed in significant amount of cases and all this points to the inevitability of anti-atherosclerosis prevention.

TSMU
Department of Social and Clinical Pharmacy, Tbilisi, Georgia
In the process of health reform especially national politic study of pharmacy and related problems will be especially relevant. The aim of this study is to identify and place and the priority of pharmacy in the state, identification of the flexibility of pharmaceutical policy. In order to study the issues raised conducted an anonymous survey of 50 pharmacists in Tbilisi. The result shows that only 22% pharmacists consider pharmacy as a priority sector, 54% say that the pharmaceutical market is monopolized, and 78% believed that the state must control the price of medicines. Based on received data, it can be argued that the Georgian pharmaceutical market is monopolized and that government must create an antimonopoly service, as well as to control the growth of prices for medicines.

ALTERATIONS OF INTENSITY OF LOCAL HEMOCIRCULATION AND MICROHEMOCIRCULATION IN DIFFERENT ORGANS AT DIFFERENT REGIMENS OF HYPERBARIA
J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2012, 4, pp.122-125
Tbilisi State Medical University, Department of Pathophysiology, Georgia
In the presented work, the intensity of local hemocirculation (ILH) in liver and skeletal muscle, arteriolar diameter and microhemocirculation in skeletal muscle and mesenteric arterioles at different regimens of hyperbaria with the use of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) has been studied. Experiments were carried out on 60 male mice with the weight range 20-25 g. ILH was studied using H+ clearence method (polarography) providing registration of removal process of electrochemically generated H+ from tissues and valuable information about the state of ILH. Diameter of arterioles was estimated by biomicroscopy.
Investigations have shown that at different regimens of HBO the ILH decreases in skeletal muscle. Intensity of reduction of ILH increases in parallel with increase in hyperbaria/pressure. In contrast, ILH in liver increases. Diameter of arterioles in skeletal muscle decreases in parallel with increase in HBO. Diameter of mesenterial blood vessels decreases also instead of expected dilatation. Supposedly, disorders of hemocirculation at HBO could be caused not only by the compressive effects of hyperbaria, but due to stress hypercatecholaminemia also.

for the Population of Some High-mountain Regions of Georgia
J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2012, 4, pp.131-134
TSMU, Department of Preventive Medicine and Environmental Health, Tbilisi, Georgia
Average annual doses of irradiation of the population of some high-mountain regions of Georgia have been estimated in the viewpoint of impact on health, prognostics of far-off results (carcinogenic, genetic) has been carried out and preventive actions have been provided in order to be avoided harmful effects caused due to irradiation.
In the conditions of the impact of existing irradiation doses, 17, 5 and 8 of cancer and 0,7; 0,2 and 0,3 complementary events of genetic defects are expected accordingly in Mtskheta-Mtianeti, Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti regions and mountainous district of Adjara.
Definition of the level of radon in buildings and carrying out of measures for reducing it in case of need has great importance in order to be reduced the dose of irradiation of population. Reduction of irradiation caused by artificial sources, especially by medical X-ray diagnostic procedures, is important as well that implies avoidance of non-necessary examinations and utilization of alternative, non-ionizing methods of examination for specifying diagnosis.
