Abstract
It was shown that KE peptide (Lys-Glu, vilon) has immunomodulatory, oncostatic and geroprotective effects. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of the KE peptide on gene expression and protein synthesis of SIRT1, PARP1, PARP2 during aging of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). The KE peptide increased gene expression and synthesis of the SIRT1 protein in «young» MSCs by 6 and 8,2 times, respectively. The KE peptide reduced gene expression and PARP1 protein synthesis during MSC aging by 2,1 and 5,3 times, respectively; and also reduced gene expression and PARP2 protein synthesis by 2,1 and 4,7 times, respectively. According to molecular modeling data, the KE peptide can interact with the GCGG sequence of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in the classical B-form and with the GGGC sequence of the curved dsDNA nucleosome. The indicated dsDNA sequences were found in the promoters of the human SIRT1, PARP1, PARP2 genes. Thus, the KE peptide regulates gene expression and synthesis of SIRT1, PARP1, PARP2 proteins in human mesenchymal stem cells during replicative ageing, which underlies the biological activity and geroprotective effect of this peptide.

Abstract
The review presents a literature analysis on the quality of medical care in general and the criteria for their assessment. The main discussion is conducted in several areas: what indicators are currently available; which of them can be used in elderly and senile age groups; what indicators should be used in this category of patients. Based on the review, it should be concluded, that the existing quality indicators do not reflect the specifics of providing care to elderly and senile people with chronic heart failure. It is concluded, that many issues have not yet been resolved and further research is needed on this issue. In our opinion, the assessment of the quality of medical care for chronic heart failure, primarily in elderly and senile patients, should be carried out taking into account age characteristics and using additional quality indicators, which should be introduced in a separate paragraph in the profile order.

Abstract
The article discusses the problems of determining the need of citizens of older age groups in complex medical, social and psychological assistance in the framework of the implementation of a personalized approach to the service provision. The concept of an integral assessment of the biopsychosocial status of older citizens has been introduced. Based on the ranking of subjects according to the degree of decrease in body functions due to ageing and the development of age-associated diseases, an algorithm for the implementation of the assessment has been proposed. The possibility of using this algorithm has been substantiated, and its features have been shown on the example of St. Petersburg as a model region, taking into account its technical, personnel and organizational potential. The requirements for the implementation of the systemic support components for the provision of comprehensive medical, social and psychological assistance to senior citizens in the process of organizational and technical support for an integrated assessment of their biopsychosocial status have been defined.

Abstract
The organism adaptive possibilities by pathology and aging are discussed in account of the epigenetic. The organism adaptation to inner and external factors is carried out by organism unite humoral protective system, inclusive hypothalamus-hypophysis-pineal and hypothalamus-hypophysis-thymus axises. AEDG, AEDP, EDR, KED, EW, KE short peptides are the epigenetic regulators of gene expression and protein synthesis, which can be involve to the adaptation by stress and in the activation of hypothalamus-hypophysis-pineal and hypothalamus-hypophysis-thymus axises. These short peptides regulate the synthesis of proteins of heat shock, stress-protective proteins, cytocines, fibrinolysis and hemostasis factors and can participate in primary and tardive epigenetic regulation of adaptive response by stress, pathology and aging. The early functional diagnostic of element disturbances of organism unite humoral protective system by age-associative pathology can be usefull for the detection of deficient synchronization of epigenetic mechanisms, by wich the depletion and decrease of organism reserve possibilities occurs. The use of peptide can grade the adaptive syndrome manifestation by the stress and age pathology.

Abstract
Thymalin is a polypeptide complex isolated from the thymus and regulating the functions of the immune system. Thymalin is effective in therapy of acute respiratory syndrome, chronic obstructive bronchitis, and other immunopathology. Thymalin increases functional activity of T lymphocytes, but the targeted molecular mechanism of its biological activity requires further study. We studied the influence of thymalin on differentiation of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and expression of CD28 molecule involved in the implementation of antiviral immunity in COVID-19 infection. It was found that thymalin reduced the expression of CD44 (stem cell marker) and CD117 (molecule of the intermediate stage of HSC differentiation) by 2-3 times and increased the expression of CD28 (marker of mature T lymphocytes) by 6.8 times. This indirectly indicates that thymalin stimulated differentiation of CD117+ cells into mature CD28+T lymphocytes. It is known that in patients with severe COVID-19, the number of CD28+, CD4+, CD8+T lymphocytes in the blood decreased, which attested to a pronounced suppression of immunity. It is possible that the antiviral effect of thymalin consists in compensatory stimulation of HSC differentiation into CD28+T lymphocytes at the stage of immunity suppression in unfavorable course of viral infection. Thymalin can be considered as an immunoprotective peptide drug for the prevention of COVID-19.

Abstract
Peptide KE exhibits immunoprotective, geroprotective, and oncostatic activities and stimulates functional activity of fibroblasts. The KE motif is present in amino acid sequences of some cytokines and peptide hormones functionally similar to KE peptide. However, the relationship between the presence of KE motif and protein functions on the scale of known human proteome has not yet received sufficient attention. The incidence of bioregulatory peptide KE in proteins of various functional groups constituting human proteome is studied. The study is carried out with the use of the available data on the human proteome (UniProt portal) comprising 20,417 proteins. The levels of KE motifs were maximum in cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins, while the presence of KE in the membrane and all other proteins was the minimum. KE peptide molecules released from nuclear proteins during limited proteolysis can bind to DNA and regulate gene expression.

Abstract
The article examines the challenges of creating a system of integrated health and social care for elderly people (the System) in Russia, these challenges being of particular significance in the light of the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of life and mental and general health of elderly people, which need to be mitigated with due consideration of the dynamics of progression of age-associated chronic diseases of elderly people. The article describes the structure of the System, and the conditions and background of its establishment. It also looks at the components of system-based support of improvement of quality of life of elderly people. The article argues that it is essential to use the positive and negative experiences of different regions, to implement the practical and scientific expertise in the field of gerontology and geriatrics made so far in Russia, and to establish a meaningful and equal partnership among the state, research organizations, communities of professionals and non-public organizations. The authors suggest to look on Saint-Petersburg as a model region when establishing the System. The article contains a list of the major projects and events in the city from 2012 to 2020 aimed to provide system-based support for integrated health and social care for elderly people, not affiliated with any federal programs. Unbiased evaluation of the experience and expertise of Saint-Petersburg and other regions of Russia will allow to use them when establishing similar systems in other Russia's regions that do not possess sufficient resources. The authors suggest to establish the System in a step-wise manner at the federal district level. For example, a pilot project may be launched in the North-Western Federal District using the experience and expertise of Saint-Petersburg.

Abstract
The applying of many drugs in elderly and old people often is the reason of liver dysfunction. Thereat, the risk of liver fibroid induration, acute and chronic hepatitis increases during aging. It is the reason to find new, effective and harmless hepatoprotectors. In the review is shown the data of hepatoprotective, immunoprotective and antiageing properties of liver polypeptide complex (Ventvil) and KEDA tetrapeptide (Lys-Glu-Asp-Ala, Livagen). In liver pathology experimental models (liver fibroid induration, acute and chronic hepatitis) in amimals and in vitro was shown high efficiency of Ventvil and KEDA peptide. Ventvil and KEDA peptide had concordant effects - normalized immune and antioxidant status, restored liver function during hepatitis. It was demonstrated, that maximal hepato- and immunoprotective effect of peptides verified in aging.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases are a heterogeneous group of nervous system pathologies. They are found mainly in people of an older age group. The incidence of neurodegenerative diseases is continuously growing due to an increase in the average life expectancy of the population. At the moment, there are no effective and safe treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, which are most often diagnosed at the stage of decompensation, when therapy is ineffective and does not bring positive outcomes. Most of the currently used drugs act only symptomatically. The review provides analyzed data and information about the prospects of using peptide bioregulators as neuroprotectors with high physiological activity and low immunogenicity.

Abstract
The article examines the outlook and challenges relating to the provision of system-based support of healthcare providers and social services in the course of delivering their healthcare, mental health and social services to elderly people, in particular amidst a crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The article gives the definition of integrated health and social care, its structure and the algorithm of delivering integrated health and social care to elderly people. The article argues that a system of integrated health and social care will improve the quality of life of older populations and extend their active longevity through a person-centered social services plan offered according to an older person's needs. The article gives the definition and a detailed description of the goals of system-based support of integrated health and social care for older populations. It describes the conditions for providing such system-based support in one specific region of the country. The article analyses the structure, aims and type of entity of the Geriatric Service which is viewed by the authors as a building block of the system of integrated health and social care for elderly people, and discusses the issues relating to coordination of activities among various divisions of the Geriatric Service and their cooperation with social services and healthcare providers. The article explains why it is important to establish a special research and methodological unit - the Center for System-Based Support - within the Geriatric Service.

Abstract
Short peptides are applied for supporting skin function during ageing, because they can permeate the intact stratum corneum of the epidermis and affect the cells of the dermis. Short peptides are part of natural metabolism of cells and many of them have geroprotective properties. In the review we are considering the base sorts of peptides that are used for normalized skin fibroblasts function: matrikines, carnosine, collagen peptides, cytokine and growth factor analogs, defensins, immunoprotective peptides and polyfunctional peptides. Polyfunctional peptides (AcSDKP, KED, AEDG, AED) have geroprotective properties, slow apoptosis and stimulate skin cell proliferation, also increase functional activity of skin fibroblasts, normalize intracellular matrix hemostasis. Polyfunctional peptides are the antioxidants and immunoprotectors and can activate microcirculation in dermis. Peptide regulation of skin function during ageing are the fast-developing and prospective area in molecular gerontology.

Abstract
The causative agents of coronavirus infection have long been considered the cause of benign respiratory diseases «common colds» until their pathogenic types appeared on the epidemic arena: SARS-CoV-1, MERS and finally, SARS-CoV-2. Diseases caused by the listed viruses characterized by moderate invasiveness and noticeable mortality compared to other respiratory viruses. The pathogenesis of these infections is based on a wide range of innate immunity dysfunctions, manifested in the direct suppression of anti-inflammatory functions and, on the contrary, the activation of pro-inflammatory functions, such as the assembly and activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, as well as the synthesis and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Excessive secretion of pro-inflammatory factors is accompanied by a disturbance in the balance of cytokines, leading to the development of a cytokine storm. When the body manages to cope with these disorders, a stable adaptive immunity develops, which is a harmonious combination of cellular and humoral mechanisms of resistance. Particularly difficult COVID-19 occurs in elderly and senile people. It has been shown that the main tests for the risk of multiple organ failure and death in COVID-19 in this category of patients are concomitant diseases, lymphocytopenia, increased transferases, D-dimer and other metabolic disorders. It has been established that critically ill COVID-19 patients develop endothelial dysfunction, thrombotic microangiopathy, immunothrombosis and disseminated intravascular coagulation, which are the basis of multiple organ failure. Pneumonia, as a complication of COVID-19, accompanied by the development of acute respiratory respiratory syndrome, ultimately leads to pulmonary fibrosis, which is often fatal. There is no specific therapy for COVID-19. Recently, immunomodulatory drugs have been widely introduced in the treatment of this infection, including remdesivir, synthetic quinine derivatives and neutralize antibodies.

Abstract
Cortexin is a clinically approved cerebral cortex polypeptide complex in calves. The mechanism of cortexin action is not understood well. Two cortexin derivatives, short peptides EDR and DS with neuroprotective activity, were synthesized. According to the data of molecular modeling, these peptides are able to bind to the histone H1.3 protein. This can affect the conformation of histone H1.3, which leads to a change in the chromatin structure in the loci of some genes, in particular Fkbp1b encoding the FK506-binding protein. Electrophysiological processes associated with the Ca^(2+) exchange are disturbed in the pyramidal neurons of the hippocampus during aging of the brain. The Fkbp1b gene encodes peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase, regulating the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic and endoplasmic reticulum of neurons. The activation of the Fkbp1b gene transcription under treatment with short peptides can promote the synthesis of its protein product and the activation of the Ca^(2+) release from organelles of the sarcoplasmic and endoplasmic reticulum of neurons, which, in turn, can lead to an increase in the functional activity of neurons.

Abstract
The overview describes the clinical features of acute coronary syndrome in patients of older age groups. Atypical symptoms present in this cohort very often. It associated with a worse prognosis, partly due to delays in diagnosis, treatment, and insufficiently substantiated drug therapy. Comorbidity is one of the important factors complicating the diagnosis of elderly patients. Frailty, hyperglycemia, anemia, and chronic kidney disease are comorbid conditions, it identify in patients of older age groups often. High-sensitive cardiac markers is especially important for the differential diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation in elderly patients, because sometimes echocardiography does not provide additional information for interpreting the clinical case and there are no significant diagnostic changes on the ECG.

Abstract
Gerontocosmetology is the rapid developing knowledge area that has a very large applied meaning. Herewith a lot of information about skin aging and geroprotectors for skin rejuvenation hasn't a scientific background. Thus, understanding the fundamental mechanisms of skin aging becomes the actual task of molecular gerontology. Skin fibroblasts are the polyfunctional cell population that synthesize a number of biologically active substances and participate in maintaining of extracellular matrix homeostasis, skin hydratation and endocrine and immune function. In the review genetic (accumulation of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA mistakes) and epigenetic factors of skin fibroblasts aging are described. Role of AP-1, NF-κB, c-jun, CCN1, TGF-β, TNF-α, MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-8, MMP-9 and glycation in skin fibroblasts aging are discussed. There are some data about decreasing of skin fibroblasts ability to migration and synthesis of paxillins and aquaporin-3 (AQP3) during aging. Role of hormonal regulation in skin fibroblasts aging are described. Geroprotective action of melatonin to skin fibroblasts are showed. Reviewed molecular-cellular aspects of skin fibroblasts aging can be take into consideration for scientific background of using of cosmetic products for retarding of skin aging rate.

Abstract
Essential hypertension (EG) is an age-associated disease. Often EG of elderly patients haven't good way of treatment. Thus, the search of new target molecules for EG therapy is an actual goal of gerontology and molecular medicine. It was shown, that during EG concentrations of GDF11 «youth protein» decreased in 3,3 times and GDF15, JAM-A/1, CCL11 «aging proteins» increased in 1,4-2,4 times. EG patients have abnormal microcirculation processes. It was shown as decreasing in 1,3 and 1,7 times of hemodynamic HI1 and H1-H3 indexes. EG patients have negative correlation of GDF15 concentration with arterial pressure. EG patients have no correlation of JAM-A/1 concentration with arterial pressure. Normal is positive correlation with GDF15, JAM-A/1 concentration with arterial pressure. GDF15 blood level during EG have positive correlation with HI1-HI3 and negative correlation with NEUR_HI2 and MAYER_HI3 indexes. It can show on pathogenesis mechanisms of endothelial and smooth muscles function of vessels tissues. We suppose, that the regulation of GDF11, GDF15, JAM-A/1, CCL11 «youth and aging proteins» can be target object of EG therapy.

Abstract
More than a quarter of the elderly and senile age population suffers from kidney pathology. For this reason, a prophylaxis of kidney diseases with the safe and effective nephroprotectors is a priority of gerontology. An influence of polypeptide kidney complex (PKC), peptides AED, EDL, AEDG on the functional state of old rats kidneys was studied in research. Administration of PKC, peptides AED and EDL increased diuresis by 1,2-1,4 times. PKC and peptide AED reduced urine protein level and protein excretion by 1,5-2,8 times. PKC, peptides AED and EDL increased distal sodium transport by 1,2-1,3 times. Peptides AED and EDL increased sodium excretion by 1,3 and 1,6 times, respectively. Renal effects of peptide AEDG resulted in a reduction of glomerular filtration rate by 21%, decrease in urine protein level by 3,1 times and protein excretion - by 2,5 times. Peptide AEDG reduced absolute sodium reabsorption by 1,3 times and increased distal sodium transport by 1,4 times. Realization of glomerular-tubular and tubular-tubular balances is verified by correlation between glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and absolute sodium reabsorption, proximal and distal sodium reabsorption. In kidney tissue a stimulation of the antioxidant enzymes activity on the background of inhibition of the peroxidation processes intensity was observed, which in complex with morphological data evidences the absence of nephrotoxic effects. PKC, peptides AED, EDL and AEDG may be considered as nephroprotective agents in kidney aging.

Abstract
Exogenous short biologically active peptides epitalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly), bronchogen (Ala-Glu-Asp-Leu), and vilon (Lys-Glu) at concentrations 10-7-10-9 M significantly influence growth, development, and differentiation of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) callus cultures. Epitalon and bronchogen, in particular, both increase growth of calluses and stimulate formation and growth of leaves in plant regenerants. Because the regulatory activity of the short peptides appears at low peptide concentrations, their action to some extent is like that of the activity of phytohormones, and it seems to have signaling character and epigenetic nature. The investigated peptides modulate in tobacco cells the expression of genes including genes responsible for tissue formation and cell differentiation. These peptides differently modulate expression of CLE family genes coding for known endogenous regulatory peptides, the KNOX1 genes (transcription factor genes) and GRF (growth regulatory factor) genes coding for respective DNA-binding proteins such as topoisomerases, nucleases, and others. Thus, at the level of transcription, plants have a system of short peptide regulation of formation of long-known peptide regulators of growth and development. The peptides studied here may be related to a new generation of plant growth regulators. They can be used in the experimental botany, plant molecular biology, biotechnology, and practical agronomy.

Abstract
The publication is the second part of the analytical review on the new stage of development of gerontology and geriatrics in Russia. Components of social support system for senior citizens and the structure of social-medical care as its crucial components are presented. The problem of positioning of geriatric care within the system of social support for senior citizens, as well as its peculiarities and the algorithm providing geriatric care are discussed. The analysis of this algorithm allowed us to justify the indissoluble link and continuity of individual components of geriatric care and its cost-effectiveness. The position of the Russian Federation Ministry of Health concerning of introduction of geriatric care as an element in the system of medical care for older citizens was looking through. The pilot project «Territory of Care» proposed by the Russian Federation Ministry of Labor and Ministry of Health for establishment of long-term system of medical and social care to citizens of the older generation on the principles of multidisciplinary and interdepartmental interaction was elucidated as well. Some failures of the project have been highlighted and recommendations for its development were stressed. The role of gerontology as a systemic basis for creation of geriatric service in Russia and for the development of an integrated social and medical care to citizens of the older generation was underlined. The main priorities in the field of aging in the forthcoming decade are formulated. The most promising areas of research in the field of gerontology were discussed, the implementation of which will allow to realize the State social policy goals focused on the quality of life of senior citizens. Finally, the position of Gerontological Society of the Russian Academy of Sciences on the creation of mechanisms of scientific support for the renovation of geriatric services, including collaboration with experts in the field of practical medicine, social workers, and organization of scientific coordination of all efforts for the development of geriatric care to citizens of the older generation are presented.

Abstract
Skin aging is one of the topical issues in modern gerontocosmetology. Application of cosmetic products with short peptides is a promising measure for retardation of skin aging. This research is aimed at investigation of KE (Lys-Glu, Vilon) dipeptide influence on the expression of markers of aging in human skin fibroblasts in vitro. Collagen type I and sirtuin-6 expression in «young» and «old» skin cell fibroblasts cultures was studied using immunofluorescence confocal microscopy method. The areas of expression of collagen type I and sirtuin-6 are known to decrease in skin fibroblasts with aging by 3,5 and 3,6 times accordingly. KE dipeptide increases collagen type I expression area in «old» skin fibroblasts cultures by 83%. KE dipeptide increases expression area of sirtuin-6 in «young» and «old» skin fibroblasts cultures by 1,6 and 2,6 times correspondingly. Thus, KE dipeptide promotes functional activity of skin fibroblasts and inhibits their aging.

Abstract
It was investigated the influence of polypeptide complex Pineamin on the 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (aMT6S) excretion in urine by ELISA test of 55 elderly patients with diminished melatoninsynthesis pineal gland function. Pineamin in course dose 100 mg has increased night level of aMT6S urine excretion in 1,9 times in comparison with relevant value untreated. Similar effect was obtained early for medical drug Epithalamin. Epithalamin also restored melatonin level in human and animals during aging. Thus, Pineamin and Epithalamin have similar stimulate effect on melatonin synthesis in elderly people pineal gland.

Abstract
We investigated the influence of vascular peptide bioregulator on microcirculation in the brain cortex of spontaneously hypertensive rats of different ages and figured out whether there is functional cumulation during two-time application of the drug «Slavinorm» by above-mentioned animals. It was shown that a single course treatment with vascular peptide bioregulator had increased the density of microvascular network of the pia mater in young animals ca. 1,2-fold and had not affected the perfusion and oxygen saturation of sensorimotor cortex. The second course treatment with «Slavinorm» was provided in a 6 months. Functional cumulation was revealed in 12 month-aged rats which had 2 course treatments with vascular peptide bioregulation: the density of microvascular network of the pia mater was increased ca. 1,6-fold; level of perfusion was increased ca. 15% in comparison with intact animals of the same age. These animals were more tolerant to cerebral vasospasm (the application of vasoconstrictor on the surface of the brain): the highest level of tissue oxygen saturation was remained at fairly constant perfusion in comparison with other animals.

Abstract
The review is devoted to an actual problem of cosmetics in gerontology, one of molecular aspects of skin aging. Cell renewal processes slow down with aging, and the proliferation apoptosis ratio shifts towards cell death. One of the most pivotal apoptotic markers is the transcription factor p53. p53 protein expression in the skin keratinocytes increases under the influence of ultraviolet radiation. Wherein when exposed to ultraviolet radiation mutant forms of p53 have been revealed in 70 % of keratinocytes. On the one hand, suppression of p53 expression decreases apoptosis in skin cells that slows down the process of aging. On the other hand, it promotes the development of tumors in the skin. Thus, maintaining the physiological balance of p53 expression in skin cells is important for the basic and practical cosmetic medicine in gerontology. In addition, p53 protein may be used as a functionality marker of skin cells when administered with geroprotective cosmetic means and instrumental cosmetology methods.

Abstract
Short peptides constitute the system of signal molecules regulating the functions of the organism at the molecular, genetic, subcellular, cellular, and tissue levels. One short peptide can regulate dozens of genes, but the molecular mechanism of this process remains unclear. We suppose that short peptides penetrate through the cytoplasmic and nuclear membrane and bind to DNA. Spatial models of DNA-peptide complexes are constructed for 19 short peptides by the docking method. Some peptides have the same binding sites. Peptides KE and EDP bind agat sequence, peptides KEDW and AED to acct sequence, and peptides AEDL and EDL to ctcc sequence.

Abstract
The article discusses the pool of signaling molecules that regulate the functional activity of the skin cells. Molecules of apoptosis and cells skin aging are p53, p21, p15, Cdk 4/6 and Bcl-2. Inflammation in skin fibroblasts are realized through the cytokines TNF-α, TGF-β, IL-1, ICAM-1, matrix metalloproteinase MMP-1,2,3,9, transcription factor NF-κB and activator protein AP-1. An important role in the aging of skin cells play neuroimmunoendocrine signaling molecules--melatonin, serotonin, skin fibroblast proliferation marker chromogranin A and CD98hc. Age-related changes in the activity of immune cells of the skin is associated with impaired expression of cluster of differentiation of T-lymphocytes (CD3, CD4, CD5, CD8, CD11) and dendritic cells (CD83⁺). These signaling molecules produced by the fibroblasts of the skin, regulate the activity of immune cells involved in the cascade of reactions associated with inflammatory responses, proliferation, apoptosis and cell regeneration. Based on these data nowadays new highly selective approaches to the diagnosis of the skin and the creation of cosmetic agents for the prevention of aging are developed.

Abstract
Peptide KED (Lys-Glu-Asp) has vasoprotective effects and is effective substance in treatment of of atherosclerosis and other cardio-vascular disorders in elderly people. One of the probable mechanisms of biological activity of this peptide is epigenetic genes regulation. These genes can coding proteins, which are markers of endothelium functional activity. The goal of investigation was to study the KED peptide effect on signal molecules expression in normal, atherosclerotic and restenotic endothelium in vitro. It was shown, that KED peptide has normalized endothelin-1 expression, which increased during atherosclerosis and restenosis. KED peptide also restorates cells interactions by connexin expression. Geroprotective effect of KED peptide is realized by increasing of sirtuin1 expression, which has took part in DNA reparation.

Abstract
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme that elongates telomeres and therefore maintains chromosomal stability in germline, and in the majority of cancer cells, during cell doubling. However, up to 30 % of human tumors of different types do not express telomerase, but instead use an alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). Here authors show that human tumor-derived ALT cell lines express a LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposon, which suggests its participation in telomere maintenance, possibly by a «slippage» mechanism of telomeric DNA synthesis. Moreover, suppression of the L1 encoded reverse transcriptase activity using an antisense strategy, or treatment of the ALT cells with the reverse transcriptase inhibitor 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxythymidine (AZT), induces progressive telomere loss, arrest in G2-phase of the cell cycle, and, eventually, in cancer cell death. This finding suggests an exciting opportunity for the cure of up to 30 % of cancer cases.

Abstract
The paper presents the latest literature data on the structure and functions of «protein of juvenility» - CCL11 and «protein of senility» - GDF11. Chemokine CCL11 injected to young animals has been shown to lead to degenerative changes in the central nervous system (CNS), disturb cognitive functions and impede tissue regeneration. CCL11 concentration increases dramatically in schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, neuro-inflammatory disorders, cerebral malaria, drug addiction, as well as in atherosclerosis, periodontal disease, macular degeneration, cancer and other pathologies. In contrast to CCL11, differentiation growth factor 11 (GDF11), being administered to old mice, eliminates age-associated hypertrophy of the heart, improves muscle tone and prevents degenerative changes in the CNS, improves cognitive functions and enhances tissue regeneration. Its concentration decreases in cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and other «diseases of old age». At the same time, the higher the GDF11 level in the blood, the milder myocardial infarction, stroke and other age-related diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Expression levels of genes encoding specific transcription factors and other functionally important proteins vary upon aging of pancreatic and bronchial epithelium cell cultures. The peptides KEDW and AEDL tissue-specifically affect gene expression in pancreatic and bronchial cell cultures, respectively. It is established in this work that the DNA methylation patterns of the PDX1, PAX6, NGN3, NKX2-1, and SCGB1A1 gene promoter regions change upon aging in pancreatic and bronchial cell cultures in correlation with variations in their expression levels. Thus, stable changes in gene expression upon aging of cell cultures could be caused by changes in their promoter methylation patterns. The methylation patterns of the PAX4 gene in pancreatic cells as well as those of the FOXA1, SCGB3A2, and SFTPA1 genes in bronchial cells do not change upon aging and are unaffected by peptides, whereas their expression levels change in both cases. The promoter region of the FOXA2 gene in pancreatic cells contains a small number of methylated CpG sites, their methylation levels being affected by cell culture aging and KEDW, though without any correlation with gene expression levels. The promoter region of the FOXA2 gene is completely unmethylated in bronchial cells irrespective of cell culture age and AEDL action. Changes in promoter methylation might be the cause of age- and peptide-induced variations in expression levels of the PDX1, PAX6, and NGN3 genes in pancreatic cells and NKX2-1 and SCGB1A1 genes in bronchial cells. Expression levels of the PAX4 and FOXA2 genes in pancreatic cells and FOXA1, FOXA2, SCGB3A2, and SFTPA1 genes in bronchial cells seem to be controlled by some other mechanisms.

Abstract
We studied the effect of melatonin and epithalon on age-related changes in proteolytic digestive enzyme activity in the pancreas and gastric mucosa of rats kept under different lighting conditions. In rats kept under standard illumination, pepsin activity and the total proteolytic activity in the stomach and pancreas increased by the age of 12 months, but then decreased. Constant and natural lighting disturbed the age dynamics of proteolytic digestive enzyme activity. Administration of melatonin and epithalon to animals exposed to constant lighting restored age dynamics of pepsin activity and little affected total proteolytic activity.

Abstract
This review provides information about the structure and basic functions of the cytokine MIC-1/GDF15. MIC-1/GDF15 is normally contained not only in blood, but also expressed on cells of reproductive and nervous system. Its concentration increases in various diseases of the central nervous system, cardiovascular system, thromboembolism, malignant tumors and other pathological conditions, the most common in the elderly. It was demonstrated that the correlation between the level of MIC-1/GDF15 and the severity of the pathological process, disease prognosis, including fatalities, therefore it was named "predictor of death". In gene promoter MIC-1/GDF15 was detected geroprotective binding sites for peptides Lys-Glu, Lys-Glu-Asp, and Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly. Probably, these peptides regulate the synthesis of MIC-1/GDF15, whereby its geroprotective effect may be accounted.

Abstract
We performed a comparative analysis of biological activity of Lys-Glu peptide and its amino acid constituents. It was established that Lys-Glu stimulated proliferation of splenic cells in organotypic culture, while the mixture of glutamic acid and lysine inhibited culture growth. Using the method of molecular docking, we showed that glutamic acid, lysine, and Lys-Glu peptide can interact with different DNA sequences. The energy of interaction and the most beneficial localization of glutamic acid, lysine, and Lys-Glu peptide in DNA molecule was calculated. We demonstrated the interaction of the peptide and amino acids with DNA along the minor groove. The energy of DNA interaction with the peptide is higher than with individual amino acids. The peptide bonds increase the interaction of Lys-Glu peptide with DNA, which potentiates the biological effect on cell proliferation in organotypic culture of splenic cells.

Abstract
The aim of the investigation was comparative study of the influence tetrapeptide Pancragen (St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, St. Petersburg) on hormonal function of the pancreas compared to the effect of widely used hypoglycemic drug - glimepiride. The investigation involved 9 old (20-25 years) clinically healthy rhesus monkey females (Macaca mulatta). Five of them were injected with Pancragen (0,05 mg/animal per day during 10 days, intramuscularly) for 10 days; 4 animals received glimepiride (4 mg/animal per day during 10 days, per os). Blood samples were taken from all the animals with subsequent analysis of glucose, insulin and C peptide levels; the manipulation was performed before administration of the drugs, on the background of their administration and after their withdrawal in basal conditions, as well as during glucose tolerance testing. Pancragen and glimepiride administration induced the decrease of blood glucose basal levels in both groups of old monkeys. Pancragen also normalized insulin and C peptide levels suggesting its recovering effect on the disturbed tolerance to glucose in old animals. At the same time, glimepiride administration led to a more expressed and delayed hypoglycemic effect and C peptide secretion stimulation without any significant effect on insulin secretion. The data suggest that Pancragen is effective and safe for correction of age-related imbalance of endocrine pancreatic function, and can be used for elderly patient with disturbed glucose tolerance.

Abstract
The article represents evidence about structures, properties and functions of adhesion molecule JAM-A/1 belonging to JAM subfamily. This protein plays an important role in epithelial tight junction formation and immune function. Current article focuses on the role of JAM-A protein in pathogenesis associated to ageing: atherosclerosis, apoplexy, thrombosis, hypertension, ophthalmological pathology. We propose short peptides Lys-Glu, Lys-Glu-Asp, and Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly could influence on F11R gene expression that leads to recovery of JAM-A synthesis in cells.

Abstract
Molecular mechanisms of the neuroprotective effect of peptide T-33 and cortexin were studied on organotypic cultures of the brain from young and old Wistar rats. The effective concentration of peptide T-33 stimulating proliferative activity of neurons considerably surpassed that of cortexin. Cortexin and peptide T-33 stimulated the expression of serotonin, Ki-67, and vimentin in cells of the brain cortex; peptide T-33 was most effective in this respect.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Some studies have shown that peptides have high treatment potential due to their biological activity, harmlessness, and tissue-specific action. Tetrapeptide Ala-Asp-Glu-Leu (ADEL) was effective on models of acute bacterial lung inflammation, fibrosis, and toxic lung damage in several studies. METHODS We measured Ki67, Mcl-1, p53, CD79, and NOS-3 protein levels in the 1st, 7th, and 14th passages of bronchoepithelial human embryonic cell cultures. Gene expression of NKX2-1, SCGB1A1, SCGB3A2, FOXA1, FOXA2, MUC4, MUC5AC, and SFTPA1 was measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Using the methods of spectrophotometry, viscometry, and circular dichroism, we studied the ADEL-DNA interaction in vitro. RESULTS Peptide ADEL regulates the levels of Ki67, Mcl-1, p53, CD79, and NOS-3 proteins in cell cultures of human bronchial epithelium in various passages. The strongest activating effect of peptide ADEL on bronchial epithelial cell proliferation through Ki67 and Mcl-1 was observed in "old" cell cultures. ADEL regulates the expression of genes involved in bronchial epithelium differentiation: NKX2-1, SCGB1A1, SCGB3A2, FOXA1, and FOXA2. ADEL also activates several genes, which reduced expression correlated with pathological lung development: MUC4, MUC5AC, and SFTPA1. Spectrophotometry, viscometry, and circular dichroism showed ADEL-DNA interaction, with a binding region in the major groove (N7 guanine). CONCLUSIONS ADEL can bind to specific DNA regions and regulate gene expression and synthesis of proteins involved in the differentiation and maintenance of functional activity of the bronchial epithelium. Through activation of some specific gene expression, peptide ADEL may protect the bronchial epithelium from pulmonary pathology. ADEL also may have a geroprotective effect on bronchial tissue.

Abstract
Peptides Glu-Asp-Arg and Lys-Glu-Asp stimulate serotonin expression in aging cultures of brain cortex cells. Peptide regulation of 5-tryptophan hydroxylase gene encoding the enzyme involved in serotonin synthesis was demonstrated by the molecular docking method. The CCTGCC nucleotide sequence in 5-tryptophan hydroxylase gene was found to be complementary to these peptides. Hence, Glu-Asp-Arg and Lys-Glu-Asp peptides epigenetically regulate serotonin synthesis in the brain cortex, which indicates their neuro- and geroprotective activities.

Abstract
Vilon, Timogen, Crystagen and R-1 short peptides possess various immunoprotective effects in spleen during its ageing. Both R-1 and Vilon peptides activate T-helpers. The effect of Vilon is provided by decreased level of apoptosis, as well as the effect of R-1 peptide is provided by increased proliferation and differentiation processes. Timogen activates B-cells by decreasing apoptosis level and increasing the proliferation of spleen cells. Crystagen also activates B-cells of the immune system; however, the peptide doesn't cause cell renewal in spleen as it ages.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a leading cause of obliterating diseases of the arteries in 80-90% of cases. The main pathogenetic mechanism is endothelial dysfunction, leading to hypertension, diabetes, congestive heart failure. The desire of modern society to improve the quality of life increases interest of human health in general and sexual health in particular, because the erectile function is an important factor in the quality of life, which makes us look for more effective methods of diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of vasoactive tripeptide Vezugen in patients with vasculogenic erectile dysfunction as manifestation of atherosclerosis. Treatment results of erectile dysfunction in 41 patients were studied. A comparative analysis of clinical and instrumental parameters of blood flow in the main penile arteries before and after monotherapy was undertaken. The results show that the blood flow through the main artery of the penis after Vezugen treatment significantly improved both clinical and by objective indicators.
