When solving this problem, the doctor should take into account the nature, severity and localization of the pathological process, the patient's age, as well as the potency and the safety profile of the drug itself. One of the most common approaches to making the optimal choice of glucocorticoids for topical use, which is designed to reduce potential risks, involves administration the least active drugs at the beginning of the treatment, if they are ineffective, they switch to the use of more active drugs, and further the most active drugs. An obvious disadvantage of this approach is the duration of the procedure of the empirical selection of the drug, which can significantly impede treatment. The emergence of VI generation glucocorticoids, such as mometasone furoate, methylprednisolone aceponate and prednicarbate. The therapeutic potential of these drugs combines high activity and safety of use. It has changed the situation significantly and helped to solve the problem of the safe use of glucocorticoid drugs in pediatric and geriatric practice for the treatment of severe forms of dermatological diseases wich requires administration of the active glucocorticoids.

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common dystrophic-degenerative joint diseases, which occurs in 6.4–12.0% of the planet's population. The purpose of the study is to determine modern views on the peculiarities of the pathogenesis of obesity-associated osteoarthritis based on the study of literary sources. An analysis of literature sources was carried out by using the MEDLINE database, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), CINAHL, EMBASE, Science Citation Index (Web of Science), Science direct and Scopus by searching: osteoarthritis, obesity, osteoarthritis associated with obesity. The subject of assessment is the pathogenetic relationship of these diseases. The mechanical factor in the development of osteoarthritis is a proven factor in general and in excess body weight in particular. Such a relationship is confirmed by many studies, and the content is that the mediator of the relationship between obesity and OA is biomechanical factors, which are implemented through the redistribution of increased body weight to the supporting joints. The use of modern technological research methods provides an opportunity to deepen the understanding of the complex molecular relationship between OA and obesity. Adipokines have the potential to identify an additional pathogenetic link in the development and progression of OA in obese patients, which forms a potentially new approach in the development and implementation of methods for the prevention and therapy of OA in obese patients. However, views on the correlations of adipokines with OA are quite different (direct, inverse, and even absent), which requires further study.\u0000\u0000Keywords: osteoarthritis, obesity, adipokinins, leptin, apodenectin, resistin.","PeriodicalId":38819,"journal":{"name":"Tokai Journal of Experimental and Clinical Medicine","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74928301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ability to learning (food reinforcement) and the spatial memory state (time to search for food, vertical locomotor activity) were studied in the complex maze during the first 5 days of the posttraumatic period. To assess the emotional state, we counted the number and observed the quality of grooming acts. All researches were conducted in compliance with modern standards for humane attitude of animals. The results of our study clearly indicate a violation of spatial memory, which was manifested in the time of searching lengthening of the feeder and in the increase of vertical locomotor activity in the rats of the experimental group, while the animals clearly remembered that they were looking for food. The analysis of grooming showed qualitative changes in the form of incomplete and prolonged acts. Such changes indicate the development of anxiety in rats with mild blast-induced traumatic brain injury. This, in turn, led to deterioration of the spatial orientation and memory formation. Thus, the consequence of a mild blast-induced traumatic brain injury in the acute period is changes in the cognitive function of the brain in the form of deterioration of spatial memory, which was aggravated by a disturbance of emotionality in the form of anxiety.

The study showed that 87.10% of participants experienced an injury during pole training at least once a year. Most respondents (82.40%) reported bruises, contusions, and soft tissue injuries. 30.55% of respondents reported muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries, 17.59% had joint injuries, and 21.29% had sprains or tears of ligaments. 11.11% of respondents suffered fractures or bone cracks.

Deep bite is diagnosed more often among men. In addition, there is an increase in the prevalence of deep bite with age in adult patients.
