However, there is insufficient information in the literature regarding the choice of the optimal way to determine this indicator. \u0000AIM: To compare different methods for recording jaw centric relation according to the data of the computed tomography of temporomandibular joint. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study includes participants with increased abrasion of hard tooth tissues and symptoms of musculoskeletal dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint. The main group (80 people) has been recorded jaw centric relation using deprogramming devices (Lucia jig — 1stsubgroup, Kois deprogrammer — 2ndsubgroup, sheet calibrator — 3rd subgroup, deprogrammer in combination with M. Rocаbado kinesiotherapy elements — 4th subgroup). The control group included 20 participants, who had not had deprogramming before registration of jaw centric relation. The results were monitored using computed tomography of temporomandibular joint and subsequent assessment of the sizes of the TMG articular gap in the coronary and sagittal sections at 3 stages of the study: diagnostic, after registration of jaws central relation and prosthetic treatment and 6 months after prosthetic rehabilitation. Since there were no more than 50 observations in each group, the Shapiro–Wilk W-test was used to verify compliance with the norm. \u0000RESULTS: According to the data obtained, the parameters of the temporomandibular joint gap have changed in the main group of the 1th subgroup, where indicators are approaching the physiological norm (98% of cases). In the 2ndsubgroup, 90% of the participants show a tendency to conform to the physiological norm. The exception is 10% of the participants with no tendency of improvement. The smaller part (75%) of the participants of the 3rd subgroup observed compliance of the parameters of the articular gap with the criteria of the norm. The dimensions of the anterior part of the articular gap of the temporomandibular joint exceed the dimensions of the distal part, which indicates the anterior position of the temporomandibular joint. Some patients in this group (25%) showed no positive results of computed tomography measurements after jaws centric relation registration. In the 4th subgroup, the patients returned to normal values (100% of the cases). The positive effect of prosthetic treatment and restoration of the position of the articular heads of the temporomandibular joint were obtained in 45 % of the participants in the control group. However, in 55% of the participants the location of the articular gap of the temporomandibular joint did not improve. \u0000CONCLUSIONS: Lucia jig in combination with the M. Rokabado’s complex of cranial-postural kinesiotherapy is the most effective method to register jaw centric relation within this study.

Synovitis leads to complications during knee replacement. \u0000AIM: To give clinical and morphological characteristics of the knee joint condition by histological assessment of the synovial membrane. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the clinic of traumatology and orthopedics of North-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov in 2022, 187 total knee arthroplasty operations were performed in patients with osteoarthritis. For morphological study of the synovial membrane of the knee joint biopsy specimens were taken from 30 patients (19 women and 11 men) by randomized sampling method. The age of patients: from 40 to 76 years, the average age was 59,3 ± 6,7 years. Immunohistochemical reactions were performed to characterize the cellular composition of the inflammatory infiltrate; antibodies to CD68, CD3, CD20, CD138, Ki-67 were used. Morphometry was performed at ×400 magnification. \u0000RESULTS: Only 48 (25.7%) patients had at least one course of inpatient conservative or minimally invasive surgical treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee joint before total knee arthroplasty. 18 (9.6%) patients had intraoperative and postoperative complications. Among 30 morphological studies conducted, 3 (10%) patients had verified stage I osteoarthritis of the knee joint, 8 (26.7%) were diagnosed with stage II osteoarthritis, and 19 (63.3%) — stage III osteoarthritis. Significant correlation was obtained between cells stained with antibodies to CD3 and CD20 (r = 0.69; p 0.05), CD68 and CD138 (r = 0.66; p 0.05).

This is associated with an increase in the incidence and prevalence of these nosologies in different regions of the world. Absence of an established etiological factor, prolonged asymptomatic or low-symptomatic course, lack of pathognomonic clinical picture, imperfect diagnostic criteria, insufficient awareness of physicians lead to late diagnosis of autoimmune liver diseases and, accordingly, untimely initiation of treatment, which often reduces its effectiveness, affecting the further prognosis and survival rate for this group of patients. Patients with autoimmune liver diseases require long-term, often lifelong therapy and dispensary observation. Epidemiological registries along with autoimmune liver diseases registries, including various nosologies of autoimmune liver diseases, form an important database on the incidence, clinical features, development and course of the disease, variants of therapy and response to therapy, presence of extrahepatic manifestations as well as allow analysis of all data in dynamics. \u0000AIM: To analize data on various nosologies of autoimmune liver diseases, demographics, clinical symptoms, timing of the first symptoms, timing of diagnosis, and the nature of extrahepatic manifestations. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: This article presents data from the autoimmune liver diseases Register of the North-West Hepatology Centre (North-West Autoimmune Liver Diseases Register) of the North-Western State Medical University named after I.I.

They are highly prevalent, particularly in developing countries, and have significant health consequences, including anemia, impaired immune function, cognitive impairment, and growth retardation. Micronutrient deficiencies can also contribute to the development of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Micronutrient deficiencies can also contribute to the development of chronic diseases. \u0000AIM: To study the knowledge, interest and motivation of different population groups regarding vitamin and micronutrient intake. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: The original questionnaire with 45 questions was completed by 344 respondents: 141 (41%) without medical education, 91 (25.4%) with higher medical education, 112 (32.6%) by students of medical unvesities. \u0000RESULTS: Only 100 (29.4%) respondents considered their nutrition balanced. 180 (52.3%) people did not consume vegetables and fruits on a daily basis, 82 (23.3%) respondents almost never consumed fish and seafood. Almost all respondents [335 (97.4%)] took some vitamin and mineral complex at least in one of the periods of their life, 284 (82.6%) — did it without a doctor’s prescription. Female respondents demonstrated a higher level of knowledge about the problem under study: 115 (41.9%) women and only 17 (24.2%) men had checked vitamin D levels (p = 0.006), while 187 (68.2%) women and only 33 (47.1%) men had taken vitamin D (p = 0.006).
