SOCIAL PEDIATRICS AND HEALTH CARE
The characteristic of multilevel system of medical care is given to the population of economically developed countries (preventive, patronage and hospital stages). Advantages in improvement of quality and availability of medical services are noted it. Information on the first experience of the organization of three-level medical care to the population is provided in the Russian Federation. Features of the organization of this system of medical care for children are discussed. Prime measures for introduction of three-level system of rendering different types of medical care in pediatric practice are offered. Need of development of accurate concepts of three-level medical care is noted: definition that such «three-level system» and «three-level approach», what sign (territoriality, property, contingent, type of the help, help specialization, etc.) will be cornerstone of reference of establishment and/or a type of the help to this or that level. It is obviously important to designate main objectives and problems of each level of medical care. Only on the basis of this basic approach to introduction of the three-level organization of medical care in subjects of the Russian Federation realization of the forthcoming stage of modernization of health care taking into account regional specifics and smallest losses both for the population, and for medical workers is possible.
LITERATURE REVIEW
with lower level of contact of the macroorganism with microorganisms in childhood have been published in this field. Thus, usage of probiotics in order to modulate the immune system and decrease the negative effects of various factors depressing the microflora of the organism of interfering its formation is of a great scientific and practical interest. Due to this fact the most prospective for children is usage of Bifidobacterium which predominate in stool of breas-fed infants and have the highest level of safety. A number of scientific studies demonstrate the established efficacy of probiotics in prophylaxis of acute respiratory tract infections and treatment of allergic disorders in children. The represented review contains analysis of scientific articles covering issues of microflora role in formation of children immune system and possibilities of probiotics usage in immunocorrection.

Data about clinical signs, diagnostics and treatment of hereditary autoinflammatory syndromes, e.g. cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS), familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), TNF-receptor associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS-syndrome), hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome (HIDS), Pyogenic Sterile Arthritis, Pyoderma Gangrenosum and Acne (PAPA) syndrome, juvenile sarcoidosis (Blau-syndrome) are shown in the article. These diseases are typically genetic disease with autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive type of inheritance. All diseases have common pathogenic features, such as spontaneous activation of innate immunity, maintaining of uncontrolled inflammation, absence of auto-antibodies and antigen-specific T-lymphocytes, over-secretion of interleukin-1 and good response to anti-interleukin-1 treatment. In this article you can see the basis of pathogenesis of the diseases, which determine the choice of treatment modalities and diagnostic algorhythms. Differences between clinical phenotypes of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome, such as familial cold urticaria (FCAS), Muckle-Wells syndrome and CINCA / NOMID syndrome are described thoroughly. You can find information about the whole group of periodic fevers and their differentiation. Data about international project «EuroFever» which can facilitate international collaboration in the fields of periodic fever are available.

Human skin is a complex organ in its structure. Numerous functions of the skin may be impaired in its pathology. Anatomical and physiological characteristics of the skin in children predispose to common diseases of the skin. Diaper dermatitis is one of the most common skin diseases during infancy and childhood. Diapered skin is exposed to friction and excessive hydration, has a higher pH than nondiapered skin, and is repeatedly soiled with feces that contains enzymes with high irritation potential for the skin. Diaper dermatitis may vary in clinical severity and course. Therapeutically, frequent diaper changes and adequate skin care are most important. Appropriate skin care can help to prevent the occurrence of diaper dermatitis and to speed up the healing of affected skin. This includes frequent diaper changes and aeration, gentle cleansing, and the use of a barrier cream. For the treatment of diaper dermatitis agents selected depending on the presence and severity of complications. For prevention and treatment of uncomplicated diaper dermatitis effective means of containing dexpantenol.

frequent over the last years. The above-stated pathology in childhood is understudied and little-known among practitioners. Background: To study changing rules of lipid metabolism for diagnostics development and prevention of hepatobiliary system disorders associated with dyslipidemia. Patients and methods: 53 children aged 2 to 17 years divided in 3 groups were examined: the 1st — 16 persons with familial hypercholesterolemia and disorders in hepatobiliary system; the 2nd — 11 children with liver glycogenoses; the 3rd — 26 patients with chronic cholecystitis. Results: Changing rules of lipid metabolism showed: in the 1st group — persistent hypercholesterolemia and rise in level of low-density lipoproteins; in the 2nd — combination of hypercholesterolemia with hypertriglyceridemia in roughly the instances, free fatty acids over limits; in the 3rd — decrease in the level of phospholipids in blood serum and (due to BMI > 20 kg/m2) hyperleptinemia. Conclusion: Disorders in the level of phospholipids and free fatty acids in blood serum may be used additional criteria for diagnostics of chronic cholecystitis and liver disease in children, as well reason for prescription of essential phospholipids in therapeutic sequence.
idiopathic (JIA) and reactive arthritis (ReA) and possible use of studied indicators for early and differential diagnostics. Patients and methods: in cross sectional study we analyzed arterial stiffness (SIngl) and endothelial function of 36 patients with JIA, 32 — with ReA and 23 healthy children with help of the pulse contour analysis. Results: children with JIA had significantly higher SIngl values (p = 0,0095) than patients with ReA and healthy children. SIngl of children with JIA positively correlated with disease activity (rs = 0,33; p = 0,048) and did not depend on duration of disease (rs = 0,025; p = 0,89). Children with JIA had significantly lower endothelialdependent vasodilatation function in comparison with healthy children (p = 0,026), but not with patients with ReA (p = 0,598). Conclusions: arterial stiffness in children with JIA significantly differs from indicators of patients with ReA and healthy children already at early stages of the disease and can be used as additional diagnostic criterion.
