Biotechnology in medicine!!
• The traditional, classic, understanding biotechnology - the science of methods and technologies of production of various substances and products using natural biological (microbial, plant and animal cells), parts of cells (cell membranes, ribosomes, mitochondria, chloroplasts) and processes.
• Using biotechnology potential of living organisms in the interest of human life, its research and economic activities can solve various problems. They are related to health care and include diagnosis and treatment of especially dangerous diseases;
• Used in clinical practice, and are prepared by methods of biotechnology, mainly antibiotics must call - the largest class of pharmaceutical compounds, whose synthesis is carried out by microbial cells. This class includes antifungal agents, antineoplastic drugs and alkaloids. Production of antibiotics in the thousands tons. Penicillins are known to have been allocated for growing fungi of the genus Penicillium. In 1945, samples of sea water has been allocated mold Cephalosporium acremonium, synthesizing several antibiotics;
• Antibiotics are used by fungi and actinomycetes in the competition in their natural habitat. The man applied these compounds for the treatment of infectious diseases and cancer. It was the kind of impetus of evolutionary transformations in the microbial environment began to emerge resistant strains of bacteria. In connection with this problem has re-emerged a new generation of more effective antibiotics. Currently, the treatment protocol infectious and surgical pathology always includes antibiotics. However, with unquestionable advantages, antibiotics have on the human body and adversely influence: disturbed microflora of the gastrointestinal tract, the possible complications in the functioning of the kidneys and liver suppressed immune system function. Therefore, modern treatment regimens are complex and aim at maintaining the adaptive capacities of man.
• Recently, much attention is given to biotechnology in medicine, which allow to increase the amount of protein by using microbiological synthesis. Of particular importance are biotechnology in medicine, because people suffering from a severe form of diabetes, simply can not do without insulin. Protein is about 80 weight percent of the microorganisms. Biotechnology in medicine make it possible to make huge weight of protein in the shortest possible time and with minimal material costs. Another positive thing - biotechnology in medicine do not depend on weather conditions. Unlike agriculture, biotechnology in medicine is not afraid of frost, rain, winds and drought.
• Biotechnology in medicine include not only the production of protein and amino acids. It is also different capsules, suppositories and aerosols, based on mutant strains of bacteria. Synthetic drugs allow people to deal with a variety of diseases. Biotechnology began its active development in the twentieth century and that continues to evolve to this day. We can say that biotechnology in medicine is firmly taken its place not only in healthcare, but also in many other sectors of the economy
