1. EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX
G. Onischenko<

The survey includes brief information concerning structure, biogenesis and peculiarities of functioning of various classes of macromolecules, which form an extracellular matrix.

2.POTENTIAL MOLECULAR MECHANISM OF IMPACT OF MAGNESIUM AND OROTIC ACID ON DISPLASIA OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE
O. Gromova and I. Torshin

Potential mechanisms of impact of magnesium deficit and orotic acid on synthesis and degradation of connective tissue are discussed, in particular activation of matrix metalloproteinases, lysyloxidase and glutaminase, deceleration of collagen, elastin and hyaluranon synthesis .

3. ASSESSMENT OF viscoderm 1.6 EFFICIENCY FOR FACE AND HAND SKIN BIOREVITALIZATION
N. Lapatina and others

Results of pilot studies related to the efficiency of perioral area and hand skin biorevitalization with the use of Viscoderm 1.6 created based on unstabilized hyaluronic acid are presented. Clinical and instrumental deliverables related to skin elasticity and moisture, and transepidermal water loss demonstrate that intradermal injection of Viscoderm 1.6 improves qualitative biophysical skin characteristics of the subject area resulting in better visco-elastic properties of the skin.

4. PHOTOTHERAPY OF SKIN DISEASES
K. Smirnov and others

Literature data and own results of therapy applying major phototherapy methods in dermatology such as photo and chemotherapy, selective phototherapy, narrow-band UVA phototherapy (311 nm) and narrow-band excimer laser phototherapy (308 nm) are presented. Strong and weak points of these methods as well as indications, contraindications and potential side effects are described. Findings of experimental studies and clinical practice of authors show high efficiency and safety of phototherapy methods provided an appropriate treatment of skin diseases subject to specifics of each disease and selection of mode of procedures.

5. «ATODERM» PRODUCTS IN THE COMPLEX THERAPY OF atopic dermatitis
S. Monakhov and A .Bogadelnikova

The article focuses on the complex treatment of patients suffering from atopic dermatitis using the complex of «Atoderm» skin care products (Bioderma, France). The composition and the mechanism of action of the «Atoderm» line active ingredients have been considered. The results of application of «Atoderm» products in 32 patients with atopic dermatitis both in the monotherpy and in combination with topical corticosteroids and antihistamine drugs have been presented.

6. PHARMACEUTICALS FOR MESOTHERAPY
T. Ileshina

Brief review of pharmaceuticals frequently applied in mesotherapy is presented. There are certain problems related to application of pharmaceuticals as not all of them are officially registered as medicine designed for mesotherapy. Meanwhile, there is a significant number of pharmaceuticals, which may be applied for intracutaneous and subcutaneous injections.

7. MODERN APPROACH TO COLD POLISHING WITH THE USE OF Er: YAG-LASER AND SMOOTH-STIMULATION OF NEOCOLLAGEN GENESIS
A. Iskornev and A. Kiani

We demonstrate the results of “cold” polishing with the use of Er: YAG laser performed for more than 120 patients. Recommendations for maintenance of patients, who did undergo a laser ablation for the purpose of aesthetic correction of face age-related changes, based on clinical practice are presented. An original (author’s) protocol of cold laser polishing combined with SMOOTH-stimulation of neocollagen genesis is provided.

8. BOTULOTOXIN IN distraction of FOREHEAD SOFT TISSUES
Li Senkai and others

Research related to application of botulotoxin type A (BTA) aimed at facilitating distraction of forehead soft tissues before expander implantation is presented. The deliverables give evidence that BTA injection into frontal muscle reduces tissue resistance, time for distraction and pain, and the subject area of skin becomes thinner.

9. SHORT-SCAR FACE LIFT POTENTIALS
O. Dobryakova and others

Opinions of modern foreign surgeons with regard to new potentials of mini-lift (short-scar face lifts) in combination with various techniques of transfer and fixation of polymethylphenylsiloxane, and own experience of original SMAS-plication from temporal and preauricular area incisions are presented. The surgery success substantially depends on the identification of indications for this type of lift. In the course of patient's examination, the optimal tissue transfer line, location and length of incisions shall be defined. Results of lifts are presented herein as well as advantages and disadvantages of the technique for patients with different face types.

It is demonstrated herein that mini-lift may be adequate to rejuvenate most part of face for patients with low-grade subcutaneous fat and lack of significant excess of soft tissues in a lower part of face and neck.
