The fact is disturbance of the processes of bone tissue remodeling leads to a change in the balance between synthesis and resorption of bone and the development of osteoporosis. The most common cause of secondary osteoporosis is the use of glucocorticoid therapy. The aim of this study is to investigate the cellular-molecular mechanisms of disturbance of the processes of bone remodeling regulation, reflected by hormones and intercellular mediators (for example parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, RANKL, osteoprotegerin, P-selectin, interleukin-17, transforming growth factor-β1, adiponectin and visfatin) on the background experimental glucocorticoid osteoporosis. The experimental study carried out in two groups of white female rats. Disturbance of bone tissue remodeling was verified by histological examination of the femoral head, vertebrae of the thoracic and lumbar spine of rats and the measurement of bone density. The study of the levels of hormones and intercellular mediators in the blood serum of animals was carried out by the method of enzyme immunoassay. The bone mineral density of the experimental group was reduced compared to the bone mineral density of the control group. The study of the histostructure of the femoral head and vertebrae in rats of the experimental group in comparison with the animals of the control group revealed changes in the structural organization of bone tissue, confirmed by histomorphometry, indicating inhibition of the processes of osteosynthesis. The article analyzes the nature of the involvement of hormones and cytokines in pathogenetic mechanisms of development of bone tissue disorders. The levels of cytokines RANKL, osteoprotegerin, interleukin-17 and calcitonin in the blood serum of animals of the group with the violation of bone tissue remodeling by glucocorticoids were higher than in intact animals. Serum levels of P-selectin, parathyroid hormone, transforming growth factor-β1, adiponectin and visfatin were lower than similar levels in animals from the control group. The use of glucocorticoids increases the expression of RANKL and inhibits the synthesis of osteoprotegerin, resulting in stimulation of bone resorption. The effect of glucocorticoids in the experimental model is realized by changing the production of the studied hormones, cytokines and adhesion molecules. These changes stimulate the apoptosis of osteoblasts and inhibit their proliferation and differentiation, which is another mechanism of bone loss. Correlations found during the study reflect the relationship in the system of regulation of bone tissue remodeling under the influence of glucocorticoids. A complex system for regulating bone remodeling, which includes many regulatory pathways and their interactions, requires further study.

With the water-alcohol extraction method was obtained liquid extract from Chimaphila umbellata (L.)W.P.C. Barton. Experimental studies on the azathioprine immunosuppression model showed a pronounced opposition to the development of a secondary immunodeficiency state under the influence of 14-day course use of a dealcoholized extract of the aerial part of Chimaphila umbellata (L.)W. P.C.Barton. The results of the humoral state assessment and cellular link of the immune response in F1 line laboratory mice (C57B1 / 6 × CBA) indicate that the plant extracts: 1. Restores the immune status by the delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction to 85.6%, with 100% in the intact control and 69.9 in the control - azathioprine. 2. Influences the number of antibody-forming cells, significantly increasing their absolute value by 2.36, and the relative - by 1.84 times in comparison with control-azathioprine. The immunocorrecting activity of umbellata wintergreen Chimaphila umbellata (L.) W. P. C.Barton extract is consistent with previously obtained results on the study of antipyretic, analgesic, antimicrobial, and wound healing anti-inflammatory effects.
