Abstract
The authors presented a literature review on the directions of modern adjuvant therapy for breast cancer. The use of adjuvant chemotherapy, targeted and hormone therapy increases the rates of relapse-free and overall survival of patients with breast cancer. The literature data indicate the feasibility of co-prescribing chemotherapy and targeted or chemotherapy and hormone therapy in patients with locally advanced breast cancer. The authors believe that adjuvant therapy is an achievement in the treatment of patients with breast cancer, its optimal use significantly increases the overall and relapse-free survival rates. Despite the standard chemotherapy regimens that have proven to be highly effective, relapse-free, and stable survival rates, medicine does not stand still, and scientists each year try to develop new chemotherapy-targeted drugs with less toxicity, which will soon become a priority in the adjuvant treatment.

Abstract
In the present review of the literature, an analysis of modern ideas about iron metabolism is carried out. As promising areas of research are a detailed study of signaling mechanisms leading to hepcidin activation. The current direction is the definition and study of the regulatory relationships between systemic and cellular iron metabolism. The mechanisms of iron transport through the membranes of intracellular organelles are also not fully understood. Research in this direction has not only biological, but medical value. So, the axis hepcidin-ferroportin is positioned as an attractive target for drug development. It is assumed that IRP1 and IRP2 are involved not only in the regulation of iron metabolism, but also play an independent role in the mechanisms of cancer development.

Abstract
According to literary data, congenital malformations of the gastrointestinal tract in the world and in the Republic of Kazakhstan occupy the third place in the frequency of occurrence among all congenital malformations. The frequency of congenital malformation occurrence has no tendency to decrease. Wherein, the congenital malformations diagnosis of the gastrointestinal tract is possible already in the antenatal period, the accuracy of which depends on the use of highly specialized expert diagnostic devices, the level of specialists' qualification as well as the type of defect. Early diagnoses, and consequently, the early start of specialized care, both neonatal and surgical in perinatal centers, excluding transportation as well as the form of congenital malformations of gastrointestinal tract and its combination with other congenital malformations, have a direct impact on the children's survival prognosis with congenital malformations of gastrointestinal tract. This work presents a review of literature data on the frequency of occurrence, various methods of timely diagnosis of gastrointestinal atresia, specialized surgical care and neonatal care for this group of children.

Abstract
Introduction: identification of the toxicity of any chemical agent is carried out taking into account its effect on the reproductive system. Objective: to assess the structural changes in the corpus luteum of the ovaries of mature female rats when exposed to dust-salt aerosols of the Aral Sea. Materials and methods: the object of study - females of white mongrel rats with an initial weight of 150-170 g (n=20). The first group is control, the second is experienced. Inhalation exposure was carried out for 30 days. The material of the study was the ovaries of animals. Histological examination was according to the standard technique with hematoxylin - eosin staining. Results: when morphological assessment of the size of the ovaries, we found a significant difference in the studied groups. Morphometric studies showed that in the experimental group of animals, compared with the control, there is a decrease in the number of menstrual corpus luteum in the ovary and their area, respectively, by 21.7% (p<0.05 ), 10.49% (p<0.05) Conclusions: when the inhalation effect of the salt - salt aerosols of the Aral Sea, there is a change in the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the structure of the corpus luteum of the ovary, and as a result, we believe that there is insufficient secretion of progesterone, insufficient luteal phase, preimplantational and preplacental losses.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to study the value of nitric oxide in the blood of white mongrel rats exposed to dust-salt aerosols of the Aral sea. According to the study, we found that in the experimental groups the value of nitric oxide is higher than in the control group and there is no increase in the concentration on the 14th day of pregnancy, also in the experimental groups there is a tendency only to decrease. In chronic hypoxia, the concentration of nitric oxide increases, which explains their important role in the case of hypoxic stress. Thus, nitric oxide plays an important role in the regulation of many physiological and pathophysiological processes in the body, including the reproductive system.

Abstract
The authors, in order to determine the competence of future doctors in the new innovative conditions, analyzed the methods of assessing the knowledge of medical students, with various training models tested in the management of pediatric surgery, taking into account the concept of the pedagogical process, built by an individual teacher. Applied assessment methods revealed new needs for students, in the form of «hidden desires» (90 -34.6%), start-up ideas (25-133.3%) corresponding to modern realities, where the proposal to transfer business technology in conjunction with possession of the skills of scientific competence, received confirmation in 80% of cases. An analysis of the applied methods for assessing the knowledge of medical students has shown that the development of clinical thinking takes place within the core competencies of the university, but in order for it to meet the new realities, changing the orientation of students, responding to them and the university's expectations, it must be confirmed by an innovator.

Abstract
Premacular hemorrhage is a pathology of the fundus of the eye, as a result of detachment of the vitreous body from the retina and accumulation of blood in the cavity have formed in connection with rupture of the retinal vessels. This disease has polyetiologic and retinovasculitis reasons. When the process have localized in the macular area, vision have suddenly sharply decreased. Existing treatment methods of premacular hemorrhage do not have a clear dosage and the timing of initial and repeated treatment is not determined. Such as expelling blood from the macula by introducing an expanding gas, pharmacological lysis of the clot with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (antiVEGF) agents. One of the simplest and safest methods of treating pre-acuclear hemorrhage is laser hyalo-acupuncture on the Nd:YAG-laser. The article presents a clinical case with premacular hemorrhage and a good outcome as a result of the use of high modern technologies - treatment with Nd: YAG-laser.
