Assessment of arterial stiffness for revealing vascular modification in hypertensive patients seems to be an actual problem in clinical practice. 377 patients with arterial hypertension and 232 nonhypertensive subjects were included in the research. The noninvasive technique of investigation of pulse wave velocity (PWV) was used. The reference values of carotid-femoral and carotid-radial PWV in relation of age and gender in nonhypertensive subjects and hypertensive population are described. Dependence of PWV on different clinical markers are shown. Correlations between PWV and left ventricular hypertrophy, PWV and carotid artery intima-media thickness are introduced. Therefore noninvasive technique of assessment of large and medium arterial stiffness can be used for separating patients with vascular modification from general population.

The given way of reconstruction of posttraumatic injuries showed predicted, long-term results and can be recommended for application in specialized establishments on bases of hospitals. Use of the data of computer tomography during the preoperative and postoperative period allows to estimate the volume of missing bone tissue. It also allows to define the volume of autogenous bone required for completion. Allows to define parameters of thickness, height, degree of curvature of autogenous bone, and also to select the optimum size of titanium plate or mesh. Application of perforated titanium plates ams meshes, made of high-purity the titan, allows to correct complex defects of maxillofacial area with minimization of complications in the postoperative period.
