GalynaViktorovnaKhrushch plastic surgeon, maxillofacial surgeon, international candidat ASPS, Periorbital area is worthily considered as one of the most complicated regions in terms of correction of the age-related changes using injection techniques of medical aesthetics. According to the classification of I.I. Kolgunenko Russian (1974), tired morph type of age-related changes which is the most physiological type of aging, incorporates changes mainly focused in the middle third of the face, including in the periorbital area. These changes include the formation of grooves (tear trough, palpebromalar groove, nasojugal groove) (Figure 1), dark under-eye circles, mimic wrinkles formation, fat compartment displacement, change in mimic muscle tone, stretching of ligamentous structures, overhang of the upper eyelid.

On the basis of the existing typologies study classification of retirement and pre-retirementage workers has been conducted according to the signs of possibility to continue their labor activity. Complex information about the age-related changes in the behavior of workers in the process of their labor activity has been obtained. The conclusions are used to determine the of socio-economic management effects with regard to the employment of this category of workers adequate to their state.

The purpose of the study was to establish age-related changes of male bone tissue. Materials and methods. The study was conducted by the Department of Clinical Physiology and Pathology of the Musculoskeletal System of the State Institution “D.F. Chebotarev Institute of Gerontology by the National Aca­demy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine”. It involved 342 healthy men aged 20 to 89 years without osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures or any pathology with a confirmed impact on bone tissue, as well as any somatic pathology in the sub- and decompensation. The following methods of examination were used: questionnaire, anthropometric measurements, clinical and instrumental examination. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry machine “Prodigy, GEНС Lunar” at the level of the entire skeleton, lumbar spine (L1-L4), proximal femur and femoral neck, distal and ultra-distal forearm bones. Results. We have detected a significant 14.8 % decrease of BMD at the level of femoral neck in the group of men aged 60–69 years, by 20 % in the group of men aged 70–79 years, and by 24.1 % in the group of men aged 80–89 years compared to the men aged 20–29 years; at the same time, at the lumbar spine there was re­gistered a decrease of this parameter by 1.6 % in men aged 60–69 years, by 1.9 % in men of 70–79 years and by 0.8 % in men of 80–89 years, respectively. Among the examined practically healthy men, the bone tissue remained at the normal level relative to age in 67.8 %; osteopenia was detected in 27.8 %, and osteoporosis in 4.4 %. Conclusions. An age-associated BMD reduction was registered at various skeletal sites in the practically healthy men wi­thout any clinically significant factors affecting bone tissue metabolism. The most pronounced BMD loss was observed at the level of fe­moral neck. At the same time, 4.4 % of examined had osteoporosis without any clinical signs.

All areas and tissues of the face will go through age-related changes; however, aging occurs at a faster rate in the lower third of the face than in other areas. This study presents the anatomical and physiological aspects of age-related changes in all areas and tissues of the face, mainly in the lower third, such as the skin, subcutaneous fat, muscular-aponeurotic system, deep layers of adipose tissue, and bone structures of the face. Involutional changes were differentiated by taking into account the constitutional and architectonic features of the face. Heterochronous and heterotopic characteristics of age-related changes, cutaneous, and treatment components of facial aging were identified. The most commonly used visual scales to assess cosmetic effects and determine chronological aging included global aesthetic improvement scale, Glogau scale, Fitzpatrick wrinkle classification, and Merz visual 5-point aging scale. According to the classification of age-related changes proposed by Kolgunenko, five morphotypes of aging are distinguished: tired, wrinkled, deformation, mixed, and muscular. Understanding the pathogenesis of involutional changes in the lower third of the face in patients with different morphotypes of aging allows for an objective and individualized choice of optimal therapy methods.

Serum GH and IGF-I levels decline with increasing age, whereas osteoprotegerin (OPG) increases. IGFs as well as OPG are present in bone matrix and mediate the effects of many upstream hormones (e.g. estrogen). To evaluate whether changes in these proteins may to some extent explain the decrease in bone mass in postmenopausal or senile osteoporosis, we measured bone contents of IGF-I, IGF-II, IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-3, IGFBP-5, and OPG in combined extracts obtained after EDTA and guanidine hydrochloride extraction in 60 postmenopausal women aged 47–74 (mean, 63) yr with a previous distal forearm fracture and a hip or spine Z-score less than 0. We found age-related increases in IGFBP-3 (r = 0.35; P < 0.01), IGFBP-5 (r = 0.59; P < 0.001), and OPG (r = 0.36; P < 0.01) in cortical bone, significantly inversely correlated with femoral neck and lumbar spine BMD. A correlation between age and OPG was also detected in trabecular bone (r = 0.27; P < 0.05). A pronounced age-related decrease in cortical calcium contents (r = −0.60; P < 0.001), positively correlated with femoral neck and lumbar spine BMD, was also found. No age-related changes were detected for IGF-I or IGF-II. The present study demonstrates age-related changes in cortical bone contents of IGFBPs, calcium, and OPG, possibly related to the pathophysiology of postmenopausal osteoporosis. As for OPG, our findings probably represent compensatory responses to increased osteoclastic resorption.
