In conclusion, many studies have shown that Cadmium (Cd) induces hepatocellular damage by an imbalance in the cellular redox status which leads to oxidative stress, although there are many questions pending to address regarding the exact mechanism of Cd-induced damage, we know that Cd compete with metal sites in many protective or antioxidants proteins inducing an improper activity and even the total loss of the antioxidant cellular defense, in addition the disturb in Ca homeostasis lead to the activation of PKC which drives many of the noxious effects initiated by ROS. Moreover, Cd depletes GSH and other sulf-hydryl groups, which aggravates the oxidative stress and the cellular damage resulting in apoptosis. Finally all liver cells are involved in the Cd-induced damage; the inflammatory response elicited by Cd generates the infiltration and activation of phagocytic cells releasing more inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, or ROS. Further deeply research is needed to figure out the complete mechanism of hepatocellular damage induced by Cd in order to set up proper therapeutics approaches for chronic and acute Cd intoxication.

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2017, 3, pp.15-17
Onychomycosis is the most common disease of nails and constitutes about a half of all nail abnormalities. But onychomycosis among psoriasis patients is reported with varying prevalence. There were suggestions that dystrophic nails in psoriatic patients lose their natural preventing barrier and therefore are more predisposed to fungal infection.
We studied the occurrence of onychomycosis among patients with psoriasis versus patients with other skin diseases during 1year. Scrapings from clinically abnormal nails (both fingernails and toenails) were examined using microscopy and culture. The prevalence of onychomycosis in patients with psoriasis was 19/71~26.8% compared to 21/107~19.6% for patients with other skin diseases.
It is concluded that the frequency of onychomycosis among patients with psoriasis compared to patients with other skin diseases is not significantly different. In reasonable cases, the mycological examination is required, especially when the clinical picture of the nails suggests the presence of fungal infection.

Concentration of total suspended particles (TSP) has been studied in Tbilisi. The highest level 0,9 mg/m3 which was six times higher than maximum permissible concentration of TSP was fixed in the 2014 year.
It has also be considered, that besides total suspended particles there are many adverse factors with small intensity, which are also risk-factors for development of respiratory diseases. Isolated action of these factors with certain concentrations may not demonstrate any adverse effects on human health, but the combined effect of their action is stronger and obviously will effect general health and specifically - respiratory system.
Implementation of urgent measures for further improvement of the ambient air quality has been recommended, which will be the basis for minimizing the incidence of many chronic diseases.

Therapeutic drug monitoring (TLM) is very important for optimizing rational individualized therapy in the case of drugs with a narrow therapeutic range, with a good correlation of drug concentration in plasma and clinical effect, and in the absence of clinical efficacy markers. In order for the concentration measurement to be effective, it is necessary that certain sampling criteria in each case be satisfied. These include: the correct wording of the clinical question, the availability of accurate information about the patient (sex, weight, age, liver function, kidney function, drugs used, etc.), sampling of the proper quality, and correct interpretation of the results.

It is proved, that the unique model of Georgian flora, Colchian box-tree (Buxus), is in the ecological catastrophe phase. The chance of survival is minimal in the refuges, gorges and mountain slopes. Relict or introductory plants of all Georgian box-tree species should be sprayed with pesticide “Dimelin” and tilled with fungicides. All types of Deltamethrin (Decis) pesticides must be removed from purging scheme, since, according to the survey results, abovementioned drug is an ecological threat for human health and fauna complexes.
Microstructural investigation of these alkaloid containing medicinal plants have revealed some diagnostic properties, among which can be distinguished the principal structural elements such are: epidermal complex of flaws, leave,s structure type itself and architectural texture composition of transitioned systems of over- and underground vegetative plant organs.

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2017, 3, pp. 44-47
Our research aim is to estimate in Georgia how frequent are opportunistic diseases, that are mostly recognized as a fatal for immunocompromised organism. Herewith the phenomenon of parasitocenosis should be foreseen - when different combination of parasitic species are found at the same time in human host. According to statistics in Georgian people opportunistic protozoan and helminthic diseases predominate in children, as childhood age is characterized by immature immune system. High percentage index of infected individuals are also revealed from social layers where malnutrition, unhealthy habitat, permanent stress and infectious pathogens affect their immune system. In our opinion, for correcting abovementioned situation primarily it is necessary broadly and permanently inform the society about the existence of parasites and possible dangers from them. We suggest that in this way, even partially, it is possible to protect people that are under particular risk of opportunistic parasites and to preserve the life of infected patients by revealing such parasites in proper time.

The different fields of the agriculture, to get a good and high quality harvest, are always is always associated with utilization of pesticides. The benefit of pesticides is big, but they cause a real threat to the environment. To serve the aim of population protection, there is great need to study the disorders caused by different kind of pollutes, to develop the ways of prophylaxy and to identify the safe levels.
That was the goal of our study to investigate of one of the most widely used herbicide Paarlan, and its influence on antitoxic effect and amino transferase activity of the liver. As a result were detected the active, utmost safe and inactive strengths of the chemical agent – 8.0; 4.0 and 0.8 mg/kg respectively. The changes caused by chronic intoxication of Paarlan correlate to the dose and exposure time.

The combination of new unique technologies – CRISPR)-Cas9 and genome drive system enable researchers to edit very quickly and finely the parts of the genome by removing, adding or altering sections of the DNA sequence, even in Humans. CRISPR -Cas9 system consists of two key molecules that introduce a change into the DNA. These are: an enzyme - Cas9, which acts as a pair of ‘molecular scissors’ that can cut the two strands of DNA at a specific location and second is so called guide RNA, and it makes sure that the ‘scissors’ enzyme cuts at the right point in the genome.
The Cas9 follows the guide RNA to cut the undesired sequence section in DNA and in this cut place is substituted with nucleotide chain, brought by CRISPR system.

The toxic effect of lead is considered in the article. The relationship between the amount of lead in the blood and the toxic effects in adults and children is shown. Based on the results of the survey and clinical studies, it was shown that the residents of the areas of intensive transport have more negative health changes compared to those living in suburbs and rural settlements. An increase in the amount of lead in the blood (21.8 μg/dL) compared to the norm (10 μg/dl), minor changes in peripheral blood, nervous and cardiovascular system, and reproductive health indicate the existence of adaptive-compensatory reactions of the body. That is why a thorough and comprehensive study is needed to evaluate the results of the test exposure.

Neurodevelopmental disorders affecting cognitive and behavioral domain of child development as well as speech and language can lead to various degree of thier physical and intellectual disabilities. In developing countries 43% of children aged 5 years or less are at high risk of neurodevelopment delay.
According to numerous studies neurodevelopmental disorders can be caused byvarious prenatal factors: maternal diseases, pregnancy disorders leading to behavioral disturbances and brain malformations. Perinatal infections and neonatal sepsisare considered as high grade risk factors. According to recent literature environment also plays a key role in etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders. For intance, such air pollution with methyl mercuri and organic compounds can have significant negative impact of pregnancy course, also CO is considered to cause variuos types of cortical malformations.
Children born with multiple dysmorphisms and behavioral disorders face to the stigma, isolation and discrimination. Problem neglect leads to leaving this challenging issue without attention which causes high rate of disability and mortality among these children.

Cardiac troponin I – is relatively specific and sensitive biomarker of cardiac injury.
Cardiac injury can be defined as the disruption of normal cardiac myocyte membrane integrity resulting in the loss into the extracellular space of intracellular constituents including detectable levels of a variety of biologically active cytosolic and structural proteins such as troponin. Injury is usually considered irreversible (cell death). When a sufficient number of myocytes have died (myocyte necrosis) or lost function, acute clinical disease is apparent.
84 patients were observed. They were divided into two groups – Group 1: children with cardio-respiratory pathology and Group 2: control group with generally healthy children. In the study NO level was usually increased and it was higher than in control group. The study allowed to use investigated markers as the diagnostic criteria of cardiovascular damage to reveal the highrisk groupin children with cardio-respiratory pathology, as they truly represent the candidates for future meaningful damage to cardiovascular system, which will require further monitoring of clinical and laboratory parameters and include prevention activities in their lifestyle.

In opinion some authors deficiency of copper in environment has a role in etiology of endemic goiter, in other scientists opinion the main cause of endemic goiter is copper toxicity. Such different opinions allow to draw conclusions that It is nessesary in-depth investigation environmental objects for study of full spectrs of etiological factors of endemic goiter in each region.

In our experiments we studied the dynamics and the mechanism of change in cyclic nucleotides and some groups of prostaglandin’s concentration under the intoxication by phenol vapor. The experimental data indicate that after the inhalation by phenol vapor activation of cyclic nucleotides is directly proportional to the hormones secretion second messengers of which they are. In particular, the high concentration of c-AMF in lethal group is caused by elevated level of PgA and PgE, so as the increase of c-GMF is a result of elevated concentration of PgF2α. Accordingly, in group of survived animals - the organism passed on unsparing regiment and secretion of prostaglandins is carried out in little amounts, conditioning low levels of cyclic nucleotide’s concentration.

Five bacteriophages active to B.anthracis - BaGD, BaKt1, Ba Kt2, BaKu1 and BaKu2 have been isolated in 2008-09 from environmental sources in Georgia. By virion morphology all 5 phages belong to Syphoviridae family, representing specific submorphotypes of gamma phage family and show diverse serologic characteristics. The studied phages demonstrated species-specificity and broad lytic spectrum within the species, that indicates their potential for identification of B.anthracis and differentiation from closely related species, also for subtyping of B.anthracis populations.
