This article discusses diagnostic techniques used to assess the functional state of the limb after damage to the nerve trunk. The data were obtained using a review of the scientific literature.

The modern medical process poses new challenges, classical suture materials have ceased to satisfy surgeons with both their sanogenetic properties and physical properties. These properties are capable of giving threads the production methods described in the article. Among these methods, there are two fundamental differences: an active pharmacological substance is applied in the process of creating a thread, and a substance is applied to an already finished thread, which fundamentally affects the physical and biological parameters.

The article presents the results of a study to assess the effectiveness of clinical examination carried out at an enterprise in the Belgorod region, and the results of a survey of employees of this enterprise on the question of whether they have chronic non-infectious diseases and the frequency of physical education. The obtained data will be used for the development and implementation of an anti-aging program at the enterprise of the Belgorod region, which in turn will be one of the measures to prevent aging. According to the results of the study, it can be concluded that the effectiveness of the ongoing medical examination among employees of the enterprise in the Belgorod region can be concluded. It should also be noted that the majority of respondents note that they have chronic non-communicable diseases. As for the frequency of physical education, the main component of the respondents do physical exercises on average once a week, but the share of employees who answered that they do not do it at all is quite large. In the future, we will develop a corporate anti-aging program for an enterprise in the Belgorod region.

We studied the frequency of references to suture material with added properties among the publications of foreign journals indexed in Scopus. On average, in 2017-2019, the number of articles in journals was the same. The maximum number of articles on suture material published in 2017-2020 was found in the «Journal of Craniofacial Surgery». The maximum number of articles on suture material with added properties published in 2017-2020 was found in the journal «Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery».

We studied the frequency of references to suture material with added properties among the publications of Russian journals included in the list of HAC. The results of the study showed that the average number of publications about both suture material with added properties and suture material in general in journals was low. At the same time, there was a decrease in the average number of publications on suture material with added properties for the period 2017-2019.
