[Introduction into PPPM: experience of the past and tomorrow's reality].

Health service today is on the verge of broad changes. The intensive practical application of the achievements of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and bioinformatics has significantly deepened and continues to deepen our view of the pathological processes taking place at a level of biostructures. In the nearest future this progress will give medical practitioners the opportunity to focus on a subclinical stage of the disease, i.e. on the earliest stages of the pathological process. This will require the prediction of disease development risks, subclinical diagnostics with the precise staging of the pathological process, and, finally, the application as early as possible of targeted pharmacotherapeutic methods in order to prevent the manifestation of the disease or its progression into more severe stages. All these principles create the framework of a fundamentally new "3P" strategy in medicine: predictive, preventive and personalized medicine.

[Proteomics as a fundamental tool for subclinical screening, tests verification and assessment of applied therapy].

Proteomics is a science which studies proteins of the body, interactions of proteins and their biological functions. Today, it is an essential partner in establishing preclinical diagnosis protocols. In conjunction with other sciences such as genomics and bioinformatics it will be possible to diagnose diseases on the earliest stages before its clinical onset or to gain the dynamics of pathological processes in the body and response to drug therapy. This article discusses general aspects of proteomics as well as special ones on the basis of models of cardiac diseases and cancer.
