The aim: to identify the efficiency of the improved technology of treatment of tibia marginal defects with the use of granular composite osteoplastic materials during external fixation of fragments. Material and Methods. The observation group was made up of 12 patients with the consequences of lower extremity traumas who had undergone osteosyn-thesis of fractures by an external fixation device with defect alloplasty We used clinical and ray-tracing testing methods and also standardized system of assessment of outcomes of bone fractures and their consequences to control the processes of restoration of bone structure integrity. Results. According to the standardized system of assessment of outcomes in 12-18 months in the course of the rehabilitation measures degree of restoration of anatomic functional indices was 92±5%. Bone density made up 91,3±0,54 HU (p<0,05) before surgery according to the Hounsfield scale, increase in the given parameter was observed in a month and a half after surgery up to 153,1 ±0,97 HU and in 3 months up to 162,7±0,78 HU. Conclusion. Application of granular composite osteoplastic materials for plastic surgery of tibia marginal defects during external fixation of fragments allow us to carry out anatomic reconstruction of the bone reducing surgery injury rate based on the absence of necessity of taking autogenous tissues from the other zones.

Summary:

The aim: to study the peculiarities of structural and metabolic state of bone and cartilage tissue in patients in the first 12 months after total hip replacement with respect to their immune state and lipid peroxidation activity. Material and Methods. Significant laboratory predictors of initial signs of aseptic instability were singled out allowing estimating the peculiarities of bone tissue remodeling as well as humoral and cellular immunity state. Results. The obtained results demonstrated that impairments in T-lymphocyte system in patients with initial signs of aseptic instability of en-doprosthesis were accompanied by reduction of its total number (CD3+), among that due to the population of cytotoxic (CD3+CD8+) cells with simultaneous increase of T-helpers (CD3+CD4+) number. Activation of serum proosteoclasto-genic factors (TNF-a and IL-1(3) was noticed on the background of anti-inflammatory humoral immunity failure (IL-10). Conclusion. The estimation of cellular immunity state, content of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in blood serum combined with the bone tissue state markers and indexes of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant system as well as dual-energy absorptiometry allows identifying patients with high risk of further development of aseptic instability in hip joint implant in the period of up to 12 months postsurgically which can be useful while planning prevention management of implant or its components instability.

Summary:

The aim: to study the dynamics of immunological markers of nervous tissue regeneration in patients with focal cerebral contusions in posttraumatic period. Material and Methods. Quantitative content of human NRG1-beta1, GFAP and anti-SGPG in patients with focal cerebral contusions was analyzed on the 1st-4th, 7th, 14th, 21st and 30th day post-injury, and one time only — in patients of control group. Results. In patients with focal cerebral contusions the content of NRG-1beta1 was characterized by two-phase increase on the 7th and 21st day, GFAP — on the 14th day, anti-SGPG — on the 21st and 30th day compared to the patients of control group. Conclusion. Functional restoration of the brain in cerebral focal contusions in the posttraumatic period is based on the significantly intensified axon and peripheral nervous fiber regeneration processes with intercellular structure regeneration being less intensified. The degree and direction of these processes is predicated upon the dynamics of immunocytochemical markers.

Summary:

The aim: to study prognostic and diagnostic opportunities for infectious inflammatory complications of primary endoprosthesis of hip and knee joints on the basis of cellular immunity indices. Material and Methods. 174 patients with large joint osteoarthrosis aged 61 ±13 yrs which had undergone total joint replacement were enrolled into the study. The experimental group consisted of 22 patients with infectious inflammatory complications emerging from 6 up to 12 months postsurgically. The comparison group included 152 patients with favorable postsurgical period. We carried out WBC differentiation by subpopulations (lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes) and their immunophenotyping. 40 conventionally healthy individuals comprised the control group. The outcomes were estimated using the worked-out score system. Results. In patients with favorable postsurgical period total value of indices equaled not more than 4-6 points. In all the other cases the risk of infectious inflammatory complications is significantly higher and reaches its maximal values in patients with 10-12 points. Conclusion. The assessment of laboratory indices reflecting immune response of the body allows estimating the risk of infectious inflammatory postsurgical complications and diagnosing them in III grade large joint osteoarthorisis patients after total replacement.
