According to the World Health Organization, the number of people with diabetes mellitus increases yearly; namely, in 2014 more than 422 million people were suffered from diabetes, while in 1980 the number was 108 million. From top ten countries with high prevalence of diseases dominate China, the United States, Italy, Russia, Japan, and India.
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease proceeding with hyperglycemia. The elevated blood glucose level activates of a number of various mechanisms which can injure the cardiovascular system, eyes, kidneys and neurons.
The main goal of diabetes treatment is to reduce the severity of disease and prevent the formation of various organ complications. Consequently, the strategy of antidiabetictherapy is tomaintain the normal blood glucoselevel by insulin administration (in case of insulin production deficiency) and by other anti-diabetic drugs (in case of insulin receptor resistance). Majority of the antdiabetic drugsprevents microvascular complications and does not protect patients from macrovascular injuries.
Currently, other targets that are involved in the development of diabetes are also considered. In this regard, it is remarkable to use vaccines, which reduces autoimmune processes and respectively protects the pancreatic beta cells from the autonomous antibodies produced against pancreatic autoantigens.
Despite of advances in the diabetes mellitus treatment strategy, due to the frequency of microvascular and macrovascular injuries arises in the diabetic patients; the management of diabetes mellitus is still remainedas an unsolved problem of complex approach.

Yerevan State Medical University, Department of Pharmaceutical Management, Armenia
J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2018, 6, pp-17-22
Introduction. Psychological studies show that the influence of these factors on the vocational choice is different. It was established that a sufficiently high level of education of the mother’s or the father’s vocational status promotes a deal of the children [1]. The parents’ mind about the occupational choice and the influence of the parents is stronger than the influence of teachers and specialists in career counseling, and at the same time, the parents’ opinion could act as a factor of inhibition in the occupational development of an individual in the period of professional finding [2,3,4]. The given scientific research enables us to identify various approaches to the choice of structural components of the process of professional development in phases, stages, levels and directions. At the same time the professional formation of specialists is observed as the accumulation of professional knowledge, skills and experience from the beginning of the formation of professional intentions until the end of effective professional activity [5,6]. Studying of the accessible literature enabled us to determine the factors influencing on the professional choice of a person: family position, a position of the school pedagogical collective (mentor and a class teacher), the person’s professional and life plans, abilities and manifestations, inclinations, the claim for public recognition, awareness of a particular professional activity [7,8,9].
GOALS. Aim and objects was to study and analyze drugs dispensers’ professional choice and influencing factors on pharmaceutical activities in Georgia.
MATERIALS AND METHODS.

THE EFFECT OF THE DRUG RIDUTOX ON THE INTENSITY OF LIPID PEROXIDATION AND ITS ROLE IN RESTORING THE ANTITOXIC FUNCTION OF LIVER
Azerbaijan State Medical University, Baku
J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2018, 6, pp-28-34
The aim of the work was to study the effect of the drug Ridutox, after its introduction into the abdominal cavity, on the intensity of lipid peroxidation that occurs in the liver tissue.
The studies were conducted at the Research Center of the Azerbaijan Medical University on 40 rabbits of the chinchilla breed. To determine the concentration of diene conjugates and hydrogen peroxide, which are considered the initial product of lipid peroxidation, the method I.D. Stalnoy. Statistical data processing included the calculation of the arithmetic mean, its errors.
The results obtained during the experiments show that the exotoxicosis created by inhalation of HCl, affecting the liver, upsets the balance between lymph circulation and the microcirculatory bed, creating oxidative stress in hepatocytes, disrupting the metabolic process. Ridutox enhances the body’s antioxidant defense system. In the liver tissue, the concentration of H2O2 dynamically increases, there is a sharp change in the lipid peroxidation of MDA. The antioxidant activity of the liver tissue increases dramatically, the concentration of medium molecular peptides decreases. Creatinine in the blood plasma is slightly higher compared with the norm. The balance between lymph circulation and the microvasculature is disturbed.

The aim of the present study was to investigate differential characteristics and predictive value of PIAMA index in children with recurrent wheezing of different phenotypes.
120 patients, 5 to 7 years of ages, with wheezing syndromes, have been involved in the study. According to the study of PIAMA index prognostic variables, bronchial asthma was diagnosed in 18.8% of patients with multi-factorial wheezing
The relative chance of developing a wheezing (OR-17.5695% CI 4.62-78.21) was high when: without response to a cold, parents taking inhaled medications (OR-2.18.95% CI 0.86-7.35), overdue fetus (OR-2.11, 95% CI 0.38-15.24) and physician-diagnosed eczema (OR-2.38, 95% CI 1.01-5.66).
The high prognostic value of wheezing developed: in case of overduebaby (80%), without a cold (94%) and/or taking inhaled medications by parents (79%) was observed in children with multifactorial wheezing.
PIAMA index gives makes it possible to identify and differentiate the children with a high and/or low risk of bronchial asthma formation, in terms of reducing the use of hormone preparations and providing adequate treatment.
Determining the level of asthma predictive index (API) and NO at early ages is of great importance to identify the contingent with high probability/predictive risk of bronchial asthma formation, especially in young children affected with multifactorial wheezing.

ASSESSMENT OF MECHANISMS OF PROTECTIVE PROPERTIES OF THE ZEOLITE DIET IN CERTAIN CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL PATHOLOGIES OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT
Tbilisi State Medical University, Dept of Inner Medicine and V.Bakhutashvili Institute of Medical Biotechnology, Tbilisi, Georgia
J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2018, 6, pp-48-55
The purpose of our work was to study pharmacodynamics of the clinoptilolite and his immunotropic properties, also estimation clinical condition of patients with some diseases of the gastrointestinal tract on the background of the zeolite “diet”. In experiments on white mice, cytomorphological features of the tissues of the small intestine and some organs of the abdominal cavity in aflatoxicosis were also studied.
The preparation possesses a strong protective action on organism of patients: observed weakening of dyspeptic effects, the termination of asthenic-vegetative syndrome, reducing the size and normalization of the liver function test, rapid relief of intoxications, decrease in terms of hospitalisation of patients. Zeolite “diet” has been followed by the improvement of functional indices of blood and normalization of the immunological parameters, especially interferon system.
Natural zeolites have the ability to bind toxins, neutralize and destroy them, excrete from organism. Zeolites promoted strengthening of phagocitosis, increased quantity of phagosomes and lisosomes, i.e. raised functional activity of cells. Zeolite diet contributed to the activation of phagocytosis in Kupffer cells of the liver and antioxidant protection in intact white mice. Acute aflatoxicosis induced mortality of white mice in 75% of cases. Zeolite diet reduced the rate to 40% and normalized parameters of phagocytosis and hypoxia.
The results of experiments showed that the particles of clinoptilolite (in the forage) are able to induce a more active immune-morphogenesis in intestinal tissues, liver, thymus, regional lymph nodes, spleen of white mice.

J. Experimental and Clinical Medicine, 2018, 6, pp-59-61
Increased anthropogenic pressure on nature and environmental pollution is the most serious problem for modern science. Harmful substances cause different pathologies and chronic diseases. The struggle against them requires new effective and safe means for treatment and prophylactic. Immunodepression and chronic effects of different pollutants are a frequent problem of the inhabitants of the megapolis. This issue is no exception and in 2012, in a study of the WHO, our country came in 2nd place in terms of air pollution.
In solving this problem, nutrient stimulators of natural origin can provide a great help as a promising direction for the treatment of chronic conditions caused by pollution.
