The paper deals with cult caves building on the territory of European Russia. The author draws attention to the fact that the process primarily depended on the nature of rock formation where the caves were constructed. In a softer and loose ground the walls and the ceiling were strengthened by armour stone or bricks after taking up the rocks. There was no need in additional fastening of hard rocky ground. The waling was done according to the beds and rock jointing. An adze, a spade, a crowbar as well as other metal tools were used. Construction works proceeded both during the daytime and at night. The space was lighted with candles. The work was organized by the community formed during the cave construction with an active support of the local population. Drawings and plans of venerated underground holy places in Christian pilgrimage centres could be used for construction works. In case of making the cave construction official a professional architect could be invited, the example of it could be Belogorskaya cave which is the longest one in Russia. Intensity of work depended on the age and gender characteristics of the employed and official authorities.

The purpose of the work is to determine in the Ukrainian society the scale of harm inflicted by drinkers to other persons, as well as the gender and age characteristics of this harm. In four regions of Ukraine (Kharkiv, Lugansk and Zaporizhzhia regions, Kyiv), during 2018-2020, 1,742 people were examined from three qualitatively different comparison groups: patients with alcohol dependence (393 people); their healthy relatives (274 people) and representatives of the general population (1075 people). The main research tool was the questionnaire of the international research consortium GENAHTO (Gender, Alcohol, and Harms to Others). It was shown that, in general, drinkers are present in the microsocial environment of 27.62 % of the surveyed healthy respondents. Extrapolation of this indicator to the entire population of Ukraine suggests that the total number of people who suffer in one way or another due to the drinkers in their environment is about 11.6 million people. In addition, the drinkers frequency in the environment of respondents can be used to determine the real number of people with alcohol problems in our country. Preliminary calculations indicate that this number is from 1.5 to 2.2 million people. The drinkers frequency in the environment of the respondents significantly depends on the age of the latter. The highest values of this indicator are characteristic of the respondents in the age category 40—59 years old” (31.43 % for men and 41.27 % for women). The subjective perception of harm from drinkers in the environment grows steadily with increasing age of the respondents, while this growth is most pronounced in women.

The comparison of the characteristics of the infrared (IR) spectra of saliva of healthy volunteers was carried out based on gender and age. It is shown that statistically significant differences between male and female groups are observed for the absorption bands of proteins and lipids. At the same time, the absorbance of the bands assigned to proteins and nucleic acids is higher for males, whereas the absorbance of the bands assigned to lipids is higher in the group of females. It is established that the correlation relationships of the characteristics of the spectra and age are weakly expressed. Thus, when forming the criteria of the norm and pathology for saliva, it is necessary to take into account the gender of the subjects, while there are no strict requirements for taking into account age periodization. Nevertheless, the revealed patterns are valid only for the composition of the saliva of healthy volunteers, the extension of the results to groups of patients with various diseases, as well as other biological fluids, requires additional testing.

Objective.Since the territory of Surgut and Surgut region is an opisthorchiasis hyperendemic zone and economically attractive for migrants, it is important to focus on the questions connected with early diagnosis and effective preventive activities aimed at increase of paramedics awareness of helminthiasis, especially those working at Paramedical and Obstetric Center. Enhancement of diagnostic and preventive measures, refresher courses for paramedical personnel will optimize paramedics activity and reduce the risk for biohelminthosis infestation among the population living in hyperendemic zone. Enhancement of pandemics activity in case of population infestation with Opisthorchis felineus. Materials and methods. One thousand patients, diagnosed opisthorchiasis were examined: 518 able-bodied women (52 %) and 482 men (48 %) aged 1869. All the patients had a severe form of opisthorchiais. Reliability of results was proved using Fisher and Pearsons correlation criteria. Results. An assumption has been made regarding the existence of similarity between B antigens (III) blood group and opisthorchid antigens. Patients with B (III) and O (I) blood groups are the least resistant to parasitosis in comparison with the persons of other blood groups. The research allowed to distinguish two groups: more vulnerable B (III) and O (I) blood groups and less vulnerable А (II) и АВ (IV) blood groups, the owners of which are infected with helminthiasis more often and rarely, respectively. Conclusions. Epidemic situation regarding opisthorchiasis in Surgut and Surgut region has been unfavorable for the recent several years. It is proved by high infestation of the population during the analyzed period of 20172019, i.e. 142.5 and 147.7 per 100 000 population, respectively. Correlation between blood groups, age and gender characteristics was determined. Analysis of paramedics activity at Paramedical and Obstetric Center showed that blood groups need to be taken into account in diagnosis of opisthorchiasis. The test for estimating risk of opisthorchiasis infestation was prepared.

The purpose of this work is to analyze the current scientific literature on the features and use of cephalometric analysis methods of lateral teleroentgenograms by Bjork, Sassouni, Jarabak and Kim methods. The analysis is based on a review of current literary sources for 2010–2019, using scientometric databases eLIBRARY.RU, PubMed and Web of Science. An analysis of the literature on Bjork, Sassouni, Jarabak and Kim methods indicates that in order to effectively introduce them into the practice of orthodontists in Ukraine, it is necessary to determine the characteristics of teleroentgenographic indices for each of them for the local population, considering age and gender.

Purpose of the study. The regional peculiarities of STDs in Ukraine and Zaporizhzhia region at 2012–2017 were study. Materials and methods. The data of state and industry statistics in Ukraine and Zaporizhzhya region (2012–2017) and also statistical methods of epidemiological analysis and graphic images are used. Results. For the period under investigation, bothin Ukraine and in Zaporizhzhia region there was a tendency to reduce the incidence o fclassical sexually transmitted diseases, at the sametime; the rewerees tablished regional differences between the indicators of syphilis and gonorrheain Ukraineand Zaporizhzhia region.Under investigation period, both in Ukraine and in Zaporizhzhia region, there was a tendency to reduce the incidence of classical sexually transmitted diseases; at the same time are established differences between the indicators of morbidity of syphilis and gonorrhea Ukraine and Zaporizhzhia region. Conclusions. The results require the introduction of changes to regional and state programs on the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, focusing on age and gender and regional peculiarities of their registration. Keywords: syphilis, gonorrhea, morbidity, regional, age and gender characteristics.
