IMPORTANCE OF INTESTINAL MICROBIOTA AND THE ROLE OF THEM IN SOME DISEASES
Abstract: Recent scientific research has shown that the gut microbiota (GM) forms an extensive network connecting the intestines, nervous system, lungs, skin, oral cavity, urinary and reproductive tracts. The relationship between these ecosystems plays an important role in promoting good health and fighting various diseases. The purpose of our study is to determine the significance of uric acid and study the role of dysbiosis in the development of certain chronic (allergic, inflammatory), metabolic (diabetes), autoimmune (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, etc.) and neuropsychiatric diseases (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, autism, etc.) diseases. To study its role in some diseases. Because these diseases are associated with individual microorganisms, they can be treated by targeting the microbiota. At the same time, it has been shown that molecular genetic methods (next generation sequencing, shotgun method, etc.) are the most suitable for studying the composition of the microbiome.

THE ROLE OF HORMONAL RECEPTORS IN THE OCCURRENCE OF METASTASES TO THE AXILLARY LYMPH NODES IN PATIENTS WITH BREAST CANCER
Abstract: Were studied the as well as the relationship between ultrasound parameters of the tumor and lymph nodes and clinical and morphological characteristics of 184 women with breast cancer (BC) aged 22-75 years, and the level of ER, PR, HER2 and Ki67 receptors on the tumor surface. According to the results of immunohistochemical analysis of the tumor, 142 (77.2%) patients with breast cancer had estrogen receptors (ER+), 115 (62.5%) patients had progesterone receptors (PR+), 41 (22.3%) patients - progesterone receptors (PR+). HER receptors (HER2+) were detected in 137 (74.5%) patients, and the level of Ki67 expression in tumor tissue was higher than 14 (Ki67≥14). It has been established that ER+ tumors are predominantly detected in patients with a G2 differentiation degree and more often metastasize to the bone. Patients with HER2+ tumors have fewer axillary lymph node metastases, especially subclavian lymph nodes, compared with HER2 patients, and have a high metastatic capacity, predominantly to the lungs. In these patients, the shape of metastatic axillary lymph nodes is more spherical, and the level of ER+ and PR+ receptors is low. In patients with Ki67≥14, tumors with a radial contour statistically significantly predominate; a small number of metastases were recorded in the axillary lymph nodes, especially in the supraclavicular lymph nodes. In patients with HER2+ and Ki67≥14, more serious disturbances in the clinical and morphological features of the axillary lymph nodes are observed.

INFORMATIVENESS OF RADIOLOGICAL IMAGING METHODS OF COMBINED JOINT TRAUMA
Abstract: In a study of 969 patients injured for various reasons, 90 people had joint injury identified using various radioimaging methods. The study carried out a comparative analysis of the information content of radiation research methods in identifying joint damage. When identifying joint injuries resulting from car accidents, an X-ray examination can be considered a more effective research method because of its specificity, and computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations – because of their sensitivity. The specificity of an X-ray examination is 63.2%, sensitivity – 95.7%, CT specificity – 12.5%, sensitivity – 100.0%, MRI sensitivity – 100.0%. When identifying joint injuries, CT can be considered a more informative research method in terms of specificity (80.0%) and sensitivity (100.0%), and MRI – in sensitivity (100.0%). Thus, multislice MRI can provide accurate imaging in a short period of time in identifying images of joints and lesions.

THE ROLE OF NUTRITION IN THE FORMATION OF THE TOTAL METAL LOAD OF THE ORGANISM
Abstract: In the complex of exogenous chemical substances of natural and anthropogenic origin that enter the composition of food products and food raw materials, the leading place is occupied by heavy metals, which are highly toxic. Excessive intake of these substances into the body with food products of animal and plant origin leads to a number of environmentally related diseases and poisonings among the population. In order to determine and estimate the average daily amount of heavy metals (average daily metal load) entering the body every day, the concentrations of a number of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn) in atmospheric air, drinking water and food products in residential areas were studied area of a highly urbanized city. The amount of heavy metals entering the body in one day with these media was calculated. In total, the results of about 1,200 chemical determinations carried out on 196 samples of air, water and food products were analyzed. It was established, that the total daily intake of the studied metals into the body is 25.6915 mg (0.9317 mg/day with air; 0.1498 mg/day with water; 23.01 mg/day with food). Thus, the role of air, water and nutrition in the formation of the daily total metal load of the body was 3.62%, 0.58% and 95.80%, respectively.

BASIC PRINCIPLES AND EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TREATMENT OF GEOHELMINTHIASIS
Abstract: Geohelminthiasis is one of the most common parasitic diseases among humans. The use of modern drugs makes it possible to successfully treat these intestinal helminthiasis. Despite the widespread use of high-quality antiparasitic drugs in the treatment of geohelminthiasis in recent years and the achievement of certain successful results, a number of problems in this area remain unresolved. It is obvious that as a result of the irrational use of anthelmintic drugs in the treatment of these parasitoses, the formation of resistance in pathogens, quantitative and qualitative changes in the intestinal microflora, weakening of the host's immune system, mixed invasions and other factors have a negative impact on the results of treatment. This reduces the effectiveness of their treatment and prevents the qualitative implementation of rational control measures. Thus, taking into account the above factors, the effectiveness of anthelmintic drugs used in mono- and mixed invasion of geohelminthiasis was studied, and it was found that the most effective drug of choice used in the treatment of them is a group of albendazole drugs.

ASSESSMENT OF GENDER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MASTOID SEGMENT FACIAL CANAL OF VARIOUS CRANIOTYPIC SKULLS BASED ON CT IMAGE RESULTS
Abstract: The purpose of the presented study was to study the sexual characteristics of the diameter of the mastoid segment of the facial canal in skulls with different width indices. Material and methods. The study is based on a retrospective analysis of 133 tomograms taken from the archive of the Department of Radiology of the Educational and Surgical Clinic, Department of Radiation Diagnostics and Therapy of the Azerbaijan Medical University. The study material was divided into groups depending on the type of skull and gender. The width index was calculated as a percentage of the width of the skull to the length, determined in sagittal and coronary projections on tomogram sections, and was divided into 3 groups: brachycrane – wide skulls, dolichocrane – long skulls and mesocrane – middle skulls. The figures obtained were recorded and subjected to statistical analysis. The results of the study showed that the difference in the diameter of the mastoid segment in men and women is found in brachycrane-shaped skulls, and the values of diameter indicators are greater in women than in men. In women, the largest diameter on the left side is observed in brachycrane-type skulls, and the smallest diameter is on the same side in mesocrane-type skulls. The difference between the two groups is also significantly observed in women. Thus, a comparison of the brachycrane and dolichocrane types of skulls revealed differences on both sides, and a comparison of the brachycrane and mesocrane types of skulls on the left side. Conclusion. Statistical analysis of the mastoid segment diameter indicators revealed that this indicator differs depending on the type of skull, gender and has a certain degree of asymmetry. Thus, this indicator is higher in women of brachycrane and dolichocrane skulls than in men, and is also accompanied by asymmetry and statistically significant in brachycrane skulls.
