[Paradigm as a methodological approach to analyzing Russia's public health system].

A concept of paradigm is applied to the analysis of the national public health system. Whether it can be used as a methodological regulator in public health management is considered. Evidence is provided for the theoretical premises of constructing a paradigm of the public health system, its philosophical bases, the notional system, methodology, and the technological framework. The theoretical and practical aspects of public health paradigm, such as identification, interpretation, and rationalization are used to analyze at the conceptual and practical level, as well as search for new ways of reforming the public health system by the paradigm approach as a deeper development of the existing paradigm or its modification. This can become a foundation for the realignments of the theoretical and practical bases of the national public health system. The formation of the new paradigm of the public health system is to take place not in a revolutionary, but in a developmental mode. Priority should be given not to radical transformations and drastic changing of the key concepts, but to the fluent increasing of new knowledge and their inclusion of the theory and practice of public health. The promises of using the paradigm methodology, allowing the internal and external principles of the operation and function of the public health system to be integrated. In this context, the paradigm approach may be used as a methodological tool for analyzing person-society-state-economy-management relations within the framework of the public health system.

[Classification and organization technologies in public health].

The authors discuss the impact and main characteristics of organization technologies in public health and the processes of their development and evaluation. They offer an original definition of the notion "organization technologies" with approaches to their classification. A system of logical bases is offered, which can be used for classification. These bases include the level of organization maturity and stage of development of organization technology, its destination to a certain level of management, type of influence and concentration of trend, mechanism of effect, functional group, and methods of development.

[Patient's safety as the key issue in quality of health care].

The safety of the patient is discussed, in the offered article, tightly related with the promotion of the quality of medical care rendered to population. Data from various countries (Australia, Great Britain, Denmark etc) about damage, made to the patient's health at medical interventions, are presented. Some mechanism, related with the collection of information, as well as measures used to warn the population against the preventable damage to patients' health are described. The WHO recommendations on paying more attention to patients' safety are illustrated. The related activities implemented in Russia are depicted; and measures, needed to promote such activities, are indicated.

[Modeling of normative and legal acts within the health care system].

The article deals with the issues of conceptual and methodological motivation of stages related with working out and approving the draft projects of regional healthcare legislation through superpositioning the legislative activity of the subjects of the Russian Federation on the provisions of the basic law "On Healthcare". The common features of the basic law are described; the specificity of the recommended structure and item-by-item sequence of principles and norms of regional laws "On Healthcare" is defined.

[The actual problems of organization of medical care for rural population].

Population health status and medical care in rural areas is discussed. Trends in dynamics of such health indicators as mortality, morbidity and prevalence of socially perilous diseases are worse among rural population as compared with urban population. Economical, environmental, industrial and other factors impacting on health of rural population are revealed. Sociological research data demonstrating attitude of rural population to health and to medical care are quoted. Problems of financing, manpower strength and material and technical equipping in rural health institutions are discussed. Importance of priority national project "Health" for enhancement of rural medical care is shown including necessary measures for its realization.

[Plan for finding homologies in nucleotide sequence databases using preliminarily calculated sequence samples].

A scheme of fast similarity search of nucleotide sequences is suggested based on sequence imaging, which results in chunks of information much less than original sequence but more specialized for comparison. Three methods were developed using three different imaging functions. The first is based on identity of local sites of up to twelve nucleotides, the second is based on statistical homology of local 42 nucleotide fragments, and the third is based on the homology of 100-150 nucleotide fragments and models the comparison of restriction maps. Each of them requires the library of sequence images. The total size of such a library is less than the size of sequences stored in compressed form. The sequences are aligned allowing local homology searches. The method reduces total time for a similarity search about 100-fold. The programs can be easily included in any software, which allows user to define his own set of sequences. One of the programs is implemented within DNA-SUN software and is used in Institute of Molecular Genetics and Institute of Molecular Biology.
