RESUMEN
Allergic rhinitis is the most common chronic disease worldwide. Treatment guidelines have improved the knowledge on rhinitis and have had a significant impact on AR management. In 20 years, ARIA has considerably evolved from the first multi-morbidity guideline in respiratory diseases to the digital transformation of health and care. Allergic rhinitis in Georgia, Next-generation ARIA-GRADE guidelines and ARIA, 2020 care pathways for Allergen Immunotherapy have been discussed in this review.

Present study investigated possible differences in the learning and memory of declarative memory task in rats selected according to the differences in immobilization response that is in high immobilization "depressive" and low immobilization "non-depressive" rats. Understanding the character of learning and memory disturbances in basal conditions of animal models of depression is still very topical for more intimate definition of the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder and appropriate searching the ways of its correction. Experiments were carried out on the adult white wild rats (with the weight 200-250 g, n=20). Selection of rats according to the level of immobilization was made by means of forced swim test. Learning and memory disturbances were studied using passive avoidance test that is fear motivated one trial declarative memory task. It was shown by us that 100% of low immobilization "non-depressive" rats remember painful stimulation and therefore they are not enter in the dark compartment during whole period of observation during testing session. Behavior of high immobilization "depressive" rats is not similar in passive avoidance camera; 50% of "depressive" rats, with long escape latency during training session (92±10 sec), remember painful stimulation during testing session and therefore they are not enter in the dark compartment during whole observation period. The remaining 50%, that are not differ significantly from the low immobility "non-depressive" rats by the latency of escape (5±1 sec) during training session, are not able to remember painful stimulation during testing session and therefore they enter in the dark compartment with shortest escape latency (6±1 sec). In conclusion, high immobility "depressive" rats perform passive avoidance declarative memory task at the chance level that is a direct indicator for the serious disturbances of declarative memory mechanisms in "depressive" rats selected in forced swim test according to the level of immobility.

Present study investigated possible changes in acquisition and consolidation of associative memory in high immobilization "depressive" and low immobilization "non-depressive" rats. Question is very topical because understanding the character of learning and memory disturbances, one of symptoms of major depressive disease, is very significant for more intimate definition of the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder and appropriate searching the ways of its correction. Selection of rats according to the level of immobilization was made by means of forced swim test. Learning and memory disturbances were studied using two-way active avoidance test that is fear motivated multi trial associative memory task. It was shown that ability to avoid/escape an aversive event by learning to perform a specific behavior, in response to a stimulus cue, is retained at the high level in high immobility "depressive" rats, selected by forced swim test. Acquisition of new information about an aversive stimulus is significantly facilitated and processes of consolidation are realized without any impairment. Thus, acquisition and consolidation of associative learning and memory is not impaired in high immobility "depressive" rats in two-way active avoidance task.

The work was aimed for the ascertainment of following question - whether Orexin-containing neurons of dorsal and lateral hypothalamus and brain Orexinergic system in general are those cellular targets which can accelerate recovery of disturbed sleep homeostasis and restoration of sleep-wakefulness cycle behavioral states from barbiturate anesthesia-induced artificial sleep. Investigation was carried out on 18 wild type white rats (weight 200-250gr). Different doses of Nembutal Sodium were used for the initiation of deep anesthesia. 30 min after barbiturate anesthesia induced artificial sleep serial electrical stimulations of dorsal or lateral hypothalamus were started. Stimulation period lasted for 1 hour with the 5 min intervals between subsequent stimulations applied by turn to the left and right side hypothalamic parts. EEG registration of cortical and hippocampal electrical activity was started 10 min after intra-peritoneal administration of Nembutal Sodium and continued continuously during 72 hour. According to obtained new evidences, serial electrical stimulations of dorsal and lateral hypothalamic Orexin-containing neurons significantly accelerate recovery of wakefulness, sleep homeostasis, disturbed because of barbiturate anesthesia induced artificial sleep and different behavioral states of sleep-wakefulness cycle. Hypothalamic Orexin-containing neurons can be considered as the cellular targets for regulating of sleep homeostasis through the acceleration of recovery of wakefulness, and SWC in general, from barbiturate anesthesia-induced deep sleep.

The objective of Integrated Care Pathways for Airway Diseases (AIRWAYS-ICPs) is to launch a collaboration to develop multi-sectoral care pathways for chronic respiratory diseases in European countries and regions. AIRWAYS-ICPs has strategic relevance to the European Union Health Strategy and will add value to existing public health knowledge by: 1) proposing a common framework of care pathways for chronic respiratory diseases, which will facilitate comparability and trans-national initiatives; 2) informing cost-effective policy development, strengthening in particular those on smoking and environmental exposure; 3) aiding risk stratification in chronic disease patients, using a common strategy; 4) having a significant impact on the health of citizens in the short term (reduction of morbidity, improvement of education in children and of work in adults) and in the long-term (healthy ageing); 5) proposing a common simulation tool to assist physicians; and 6) ultimately reducing the healthcare burden (emergency visits, avoidable hospitalisations, disability and costs) while improving quality of life. In the longer term, the incidence of disease may be reduced by innovative prevention strategies. AIRWAYSICPs was initiated by Area 5 of the Action Plan B3 of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing. All stakeholders are involved (health and social care, patients, and policy makers).

The work was aimed for the ascertainment of following question - whether Orexin-containing neurons of dorsal and lateral hypothalamic, and brain Orexinergic system in general, are those cellular targets which can speed up recovery of disturbed sleep homeostasis and accelerate restoration of sleep-wakefulness cycle phases during some pathological conditions - experimental comatose state and/or deep anesthesia-induced sleep. Study was carried out on white rats. Modeling of experimental comatose state was made by midbrain cytotoxic lesions at intra-collicular level.Animals were under artificial respiration and special care. Different doses of Sodium Ethaminal were used for deep anesthesia. 30 min after comatose state and/or deep anesthesia induced sleep serial electrical stimulations of posterior and/or perifornical hypothalamus were started. Stimulation period lasted for 1 hour with the 5 min intervals between subsequent stimulations applied by turn to the left and right side hypothalamic parts.EEG registration of cortical and hippocampal electrical activity was started immediately after experimental comatose state and deep anesthesia induced sleep and continued continuously during 72 hour. According to obtained new evidences, serial electrical stimulations of posterior and perifornical hypothalamic Orexin-containing neurons significantly accelerate recovery of sleep homeostasis, disturbed because of comatose state and/or deep anesthesia induced sleep. Speed up recovery of sleep homeostasis was manifested in acceleration of coming out from comatose state and deep anesthesia induced sleep and significant early restoration of sleep-wakefulness cycle behavioral states.

Modification of brain muscarinic cholinergic system normal functioning can be considered as an appropriate strategy for the study of its role in sleep-wakefulness cycle basic mechanisms in general and in the course/maintenance of PS in particular. For this aim systemic application of muscarinic cholinoreceptors antagonists is significant because it gives possibility to modify functioning all of known five sub-types of muscarinic cholinoreceptors and to study the character of sleep disturbances in these conditions. Problem is very topical because the question about the intimate aspects of BMChS involvement in PS maintaining mechanisms still remains unsolved. In cats Atropine systemic administration was made once daily at 10:00 a.m. and continuous EEG registration of sleep-wakefulness cycle ultradian structure, lasting for 10 hour daily, was started immediately. In sum each animal received anti-muscarinic drugs for 12 times. Thereafter drug administrations were ceased and EEG registration of sleep-wakefulness cycle ultradian structure was continued during 10 consecutive days. On the basis of results obtained in these conditions we can conclude that brain muscarinic cholinergic system normal functioning is significant for basic mechanisms of sleep-wakefulness cycle. During wakefulness, at the level of neocortex and hippocampus, MChS supports only EEG activation, while it is one of the main factors in PS triggering and maintaining mechanisms.

The anthropometric data were studied in early school aged (6-7 years old) children and the degree of harmonization during physical development was evaluated. Representative population of 400 otherwise healthy early school aged children was included in study group. Study period covered the end of school year. In the selected under observation focused population the level of individual anthropometric data was determined in percentile intervals according its position. Anthropometric data assessments by using percentile method it was revealed in early school aged (6-7 years of old children) excess in body height and weight in comparison with normal values. This phenomenon indicates the prevalence of acceleration and weight gain. Anthropometric data in boys were increased while comparing with physical development data in girls. This result difference has the tendency to statistically insignificant. Physical development harmonization values were studied in 200 children. Harmonized physical development revealed in 50 children (25%); disharmonized physical development I 50 children (15%), among them with I degree weight gain were 48 (24%), and with I degree weight deficit were 2 (1%). Markedly disharmonized development had 100 children (50%), among them with II degree weight gain were 98 (49%), and with II degree weight deficit were 2 (1%). According to the children's anthropometric data and assessment by physical development harmonization percentiles tables three groups of children were organized: main, risk group and the group with deviation in physical development. On the basis of resulted data the study of early school age children's physical development gives possibility for risk groups stratification, which in turn itself makes a strong basis for reasonable preventive measurements and stepwise monitoring implementation.

Animal model of depression was developed by means of chronic exposure of rat pups to anticholinergic drugs (Atropine, Scopolamine) during the early life period from postnatal day 7 (P7) and/or 14 (P14) to P21 and/or P28, respectively. Such procedure resulted in lasting behavioral changes that were evident long after drug discontinuation and persisted at mature age (2-3 month period). Behavioral changes included most indices of open field behavior. Modeled animals exhibited significant depression of locomotor activity certified by sharp reduction of the number of crossed squares, rising of a head and vertical standings. Grooming behavior was also significantly decreased. Frequency of center entrance and the time of staying in the center of open field were sharply shortened. Modeled animals exhibited complete loss of exploratory motivation which wasn't related to the enhancement of fear emotion so far as values of incidence of urination and defecation remained unchangeable. These findings indicate that postnatal exposure of rat pups to Atropine and/or Scopolamine induces lasting behavioral "despai"' or "refractory loss of interest" at mature age. In sum animal model of depression which are characterized by super sensitivity of brain muscarinic cholinergic system exhibit more depressed behavioral items in open field than other types of animal models of depression. These data imply the preference of muscarinic cholinergic super sensitivity for the development of depressive state and therefore they are very significant for both basic science and clinical research issues.

Finding about structural and functional relation between NMDA receptors specific binding and phencyclidine sites was very important for a possible modulation of NMDA receptors' function. We have therefore got interested what would happen with EEG and vegetative patterns of PS in the case when NMDA receptors function is modulated by blocking of phencyclidines' site. Consequently, we studied the effects of Trihexyphenydil, the structural analog of phencyclidine, on neocortical and hippocampal electrical activity in SWC. On cats (n=5) metallic electrodes were implanted under Nembutal anesthesia. EEG registration lasting 12 hr daily started after animals' recovery. Trihexyphenydil was administered intraperitoneally (0.5 mg/kg - 1 mg/kg). Statistical processing was made by Students' t-test. Trihexyphenydil resulted in dissociated triggering of PS. Rapid eye movements and PGO waves appeared on the face of active waking state. Therefore on the background of behavioral active waking according to electrical activity of the visual cortex and rapid eye movements, electrographic patterns of paradoxical sleep were recorded. Thus in our experiments it was shown firstly that the mechanism of hallucinogenic action of Trihexyphenydil is closely related to the disturbance of paradoxical sleep integrity. Blocking of NMDA receptors phencyclidines site and therefore functional modulation of these receptors produce the splitting of PS patterns and their intrusion in waking state. Such an effect never takes place in normal conditions since the waking system has the powerful inhibitory influence on the PS triggering system. Suggestion is make that NMDA glutamate receptors must be involved in mechanisms providing structural and functional integrity of PS and that fulfillment of such function is possible in the case when the NMDA receptors phencyclidine site isn't in blocked state. Normal functioning of NMDA receptors phencyclidine site represents the mechanism which inhibits and/or hampers appearance of hallucination. NMDA glutamate receptors, possessing phencyclidine site, are implicated in the mechanisms providing structural and functional integrity of PS.

Diazepam is a widely used benzodiazepine. Their prolonged usage leads to deterioration of cognitive functions and to the reduction of the level of vigilance what is explained by hypnotic effect but not by anxiolytic action of this drug. The novelty of our investigation is the elucidation of whether diazepam produces slow wave sleep reduction likely to the other benzodiazepines and if so what is the bases of positive therapeutic effect of diazepam in insomniac patients. For this aim we decided the study of diazepam effects on the ultradian structure of sleep-waking cycle. On cats (n=5) metallic electrodes were implanted under Nembutal anesthesia. EEG registration lasting 12 hr daily started after animals' recovery. Diazepam was administered intraperitoneally (0.37; 0.75; 1.5; 2 mg/kg). Statistical processing was made by Students' t-test. Diazepam prolonged sleep onset latency and waking overall time. Incidence and overall percentage of deep slow wave sleep decreased significantly but doze dependently. Paradoxical sleep latency was also significantly increased after diazepam action. All dozes of drug used by us significantly decrease the duration of each episode of paradoxical sleep. Diazepam significantly increase incidence of paradoxical sleep episodes with maximal duration till to 5 min. Under the influence of diazepam paradoxical sleep coursed without emotional coloring, without any patterns reflecting the level of emotional tension during this phase. The first episode of paradoxical sleep with partial restoration of patterns of emotional tension developed after 9+/-2 postinjectional hours at the 2 mg/kg doze of diazepam. All parameters reflecting the level of emotional tension during paradoxical sleep wholly recovered after 27+/-2 hour of diazepam administration. Diazepam administration worsens the quality of slow wave sleep. It is suggested that positive therapeutic effect of this drug may be related with the reduction of emotional tension during paradoxical sleep and modulation of behavioral and EEG patterns of this behavioral state.

70 girls and 50 boys--totally 120 practically healthy children were examined; Three age-specific groups with equal number of children were chosen. Goal of the research was to evaluate the adaptation ability and analyse the disadaptive derangements in primary school age children. Cross-sectional, one moment research was carried out according to D. Stot's "Map of Observation". Adaptive potential determination and evaluation of vegetative nervous system functional state was done. Special charts for children were filled in. 56% of pupils were practically healthy and well adapted to school obligations. In the rest of cases different degree and form of school dysadaptation derangements were revealed. The dysadaptation contingent with cognitive function was seen in 14% of children. Emotional attitude derangements to learning process was revealed in 18% of children.; and hard to cope with the derangements correction in behavior was seen in 12% of children. The study results enabled us to reveal different types of school dysadaptation in primary school age children as well as to study the main reasons for their formation on the basis of age-specific characteristics. The above-mentioned fact should be taken into consideration while elaborating complex rehabilitation actions and school disadaptation prevention.

There is controversy in the literature in the results of various septal lesions on the sleep-waking cycle (SWC) ultradian structure. Current investigation was aimed to study the effects of interruption of septo-hippocampal cholinergic/GABAergic afferentation on the ultradian structure of SWC and on PS major indices. Experiments were carried out on 12 adult cats, operated under overall anesthesia (Nembutal, 35-40 mg/kg). Three groups of animals were used: I. Implanted sham lesioned control; II. With isolated lesion of medial septal part; III. With combined lesion of medial and lateral septal parts. Lesion was made by passing of direct current. Continuous EEG registration of SWC was lasted 12 hour. Results were evaluated statistically with Student's t test. Isolated lesion of medial septum doesn't produce significant changes of motivational-emotional behavior, but combined lesion of medial and lateral septal parts lead to enhancement of food and water motivation, development of hyper emotionality and hyperactivity. Interruption of septo-hippocampal cholinergic/GABAergic input, increased sleep onset latency, incidence and percentage of active waking (AW) and passive waking (PW) and PS latency but the last effect was dependent from sleep latency change. In the period from appearance of first PS episode to the end of EEG registration PS incidence and percentage wasn't changed significantly. This surgery completely abolished theta rhythm in waking and PS. Combined lesion of medial and lateral septal parts increased sleep latency still more. Total time of AW and PW increased twice. DSWS was significantly decreased. In this case PS latency was also increased still more. PS incidence and total percentage in whole 12 h registration period were reduced substantially, but for the period calculated after appearance of first PS episode until to the end of EEG registration PS mean value was the same as in sham lesioned animals. It is concluded that: 1.Septo-hippocampal cholinergic/GABAergic relationship doesn't play significant role in the triggering mechanisms of SWC ultradian structure; 2. GABAergic part of this input as well as hippocampo-mesodiecephalic descending pathways through the lateral septum have powerful modulatory influence on basic triggering mechanisms of SWS; 3. Development of hippocampal theta rhythm is the only event of PS affected after medial septal lesion; 4. Septo-hippocampal cholinergic input is not essential in triggering mechanisms of PS.

Case representative selective study of children from 1 to 15 years old age in Batumi, with 2110 children population has been carried out. Risk factors were studied by interviewing method, using two step estimation (on the basis of primary and secondary questionnaire) of the disease developing risk. For statistical analysis of the data SPSS v. 12 was used. Study findings confirm causal connection (with high relative risk) and significant probability of the disease (with high attributive risk), with "major risk factors": allergic diseases and atopic dermatitis in relatives and with "minor risk factors": allergic rhinitis. Relatively weak risk factors (with low relative risk), but with high prevalence in child population in Batumi were found: respiratory infections and bottle-feeding. Revealing individual and population risk phenomenology of bronchial asthma in children population in Batumi, on the basis of that the most of risk factors can be monitored, will promote asthma prevention and population health care, which is more rational and cost-effective.

In chronic experiments on cats it was shown that the lesion of the medial part of the septum does not result in the "septal syndrome"; the ratio of the different sleep-wakefulness cycle phases remains within the baseline values; the acquisition, retrieval and extinction of instrumental alimentary conditioned reflexes proceed normally; the delayed conditioned reflexes are impaired. Massive septal lesion, including its lateral part, leads to the development of the "septal syndrome"; there are changes in the structure and percentage of the different sleep-wakefulness cycle phases; the acquisition and extinction of instrumental alimentary reflexes with the sound discrimination are markedly retarded; the performance of delayed conditioned reflexes is completely destroyed. The section of the entorhinal cortex produces an increase in the number of repeated errors and perseverative movements during performance of instrumental alimentary reflexes, the deceleration of the acquisition and extinction of instrumental alimentary reflexes, complete disturbance of the delayed conditioned reflexes and does not affect the sleep-wakefulness cycle. The problems of the role of the hippocampus and its main inputs in the regulation of the short-term operative memory in the "pure form" as well as the significance of the descending influence of the hippocampus on the regulation of general animal behavior were also discussed.
