Determination of constitutional parameters that are inherent in highly skilled athletes of a particular sport can serve as reliable predictive markers during sport selection. But the last time an indisputable fact is the somatotypological conditionality of individual sizes that characterize the external structure of the body, and the visceral structures of the organism. The purpose of the work is to establish differences in the anthropometric dimensions between young women volleyball players of high level of athletic skill and non-sports young women belonging to the mesomorphic somatotype. On the base of the research center of the National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, we conducted an anthropo-somatotypological study of 127 female volleyball players of youth age (from 16 to 20 years) with a high level of athletic skill. Sports experience in all cases was greater than 3 years. From the database of research center of the National Pirogov Memorial Medical University was selected 140 practically healthy young women of the same age who were not engaged in sports. Anthropometric measurements were carried out using the method of V.V. Bunak (1941), somatotypological research – according to the estimated modification of the Heath-Carter method (1990). After the conducted somatotyping, it was found that 29 volleyball players and 33 non-sports young women belonged to the mesomorphic type of constitution. The analysis of the obtained results is carried out in the licensed package of Statistica 5.5 using nonparametric methods of evaluation of indicators. In the volleyball players of the mesomorphic somatotype, compared to young women who are not engaged in sports of the same constitutional type, we have found a significantly larger length of the body, the mass and area of the body surface, the height of the suprasternal, pubic, shoulder anthropometric points, chest cords, transverse mid and lower chest and sagittal middle-thigh diameters, intervertebral distance of the pelvis and its external conjugates. Relatively smaller in female volleyball players of mesomorphic type of physique was the thickness of the skin-fat folds under the shoulder blade. One can conclude that within the same somatotype there are significant changes in the anthropometric parameters, in particular total body and longitudinal, transverse, front and rear body dimensions, which is affected by the body of modern young women volleyball players with mesomorphic somatotype, under the influence of intensive loads.

Topicality: Burns are thermal injuries that affect humanity since antient times. Scientists all over the world are searching for an appropriate and effective methods of treatment [1, p. 328]. Data from hospitalized burn patients worldwide reveal from 3% to 10%. The average proportion of the

Objective — the purpose of the work is to increase the effectiveness of treatment of patients with acute and chronic eczema by developing effective comprehensive corrective therapy based on the study of the immune defense system. Materials and methods. 47 patients with acute and chronic eczema before and after treatment were selected for the study. To assess the effectiveness of therapy in these patients, we evaluated the data of biochemical studies, indicators of cellular and humoral immunity, as well as the degree of changes in indicators of the microbiota of the colon cavity. Results and discussion. The most informative indicators of cellular and humoral immunity of patients with acute and chronic eczema in the acute stage, accompanied by manifestations of intestinal dysbiosis are determined: CD3+-lympho­cytes, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-6 and IgA. The monitoring of these indicators is necessary and sufficient for controlling the effectiveness of prevention and treatment of this group of patients.According to the results of bacteriological examination of feces in all patients, the presence of dysbiosis of the colon of I—IV degrees was established. Patients with eczema also had a significantly lower content of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the colon cavity (by 2.09 and 2.58 times, respectively), bacteroids (by 1.96 times) and the total number of Escherichia coli (by 2.56 times) against the background of a larger number of Escherichia coli with enzymatic properties, opportunistic enterobacteria, enterococci and fungi of the genus Candida (by 1.87, 14.4, 4.20 and 3.22 times, respectively). After the treatment with the addition of pro- and prebiotics of the patients of the main group, the manifestations of dysbiosis of the colon were eliminated, while in the patients of the control group, the manifestations of dysbiosis persisted: lower content of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the colon cavity (by 1.82 and 2.32 times, respectively), bacteroids (by 1.2 times) and the total number of Escherichia coli (by 1.48 times) against the background of a bigger number of Escherichia coli with enzymatic properties, opportunistic enterobacteria, enterococci and fungi of genus Candida (by 1.32, 12.3, 3.24 and 2.85 times, respectively). Conclusions. The treatment aimed at normalizing the gastrointestinal tract and increasing the patient’s immunity, has an activating and stimulating effect on the therapeutic treatment complex of a patient with eczema. The addition of pro and prebiotics contributed to a significant reduction in the duration of treatment in patients compared with the indicator in individuals who received only conventional pathogenetic therapy.
