MINIINVASIVE TECHNIQUES IN TREATMENT OF NONPARASITIC HEPATIC CYSTS
Abstract
Aim. To improve the results of treatment of patients with nonparasitic hepatic cysts and to determine optimal treatment technique depending on concomitant pathology, terms of hospitalization, number of relapses and postoperative complications. Materials and methods. Experience of complex examination and treatment of 175 patients with nonparasitic hepatic cysts for the period of 1999-2012 was analyzed. Depending on treatment tactics, patients were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 consisted of 50 patients who underwent open operations, 54 patients of group 2 experienced laparascopic fenestration of cysts with diepithelization of internal lining using diathermic coagulation and 98% ethanol treatment, 71 patient of group 3 underwent transcutaneous puncture and 96% ethanol hepatic cyst sclerosing under ultrasound control. Results. Mininvasive techniques were used for treatment of 125 (71,4%) patients. Postoperative complications in group 1 were noted in 11 (22%) patients that increased the time of hospital treatment and was accompanied by essential economic losses. In patients of group 2, relapse of cysts requiring transcutaneous puncture and 96% ethanol sclerosing was detected in 5 (9,3%) observations 5-12 months after the surgery. In one case the postoperative toxic hepatitis was diagnosed that needed conservative hepatoprotective therapy. Full cyst obliteration in group 3 was reached in 32 (45,1%) patients and 8 patients (11,3%) had no complaints but preserved small-volume cysts that allows to draw a conclusion about the reached clinical effect. The terms of hospital stay in patients of group 1 were 14,7±5,5 days, group 2 – 7,1±3,8 days, group 3 – 4,6±2,7 days. Conclusion. Patients with nonparasitic hepatic cysts <50 mm in diameter without any signs of compression of adjoining organs and disturbance of basic liver functions should be dynamically observed (USI of liver) every 8–12 months. Active treatment tactics for prevention and elimination of complications is indicated to patients with cysts >50 mm in diameter. Taking into account benign character of nonparasitic hepatic cysts, low probability of their malignization and hepatic function disturbance, preference should be given to miniinvasive techniques (laparoscopic, puncture) which do not yield to open operations by their efficiency, but are accompanied by less number of complications and shorter time of hospitalization.

PECULIARITIES OF TREATMENT OF DEEP BURNS
Abstract
Aim. To study the efficiency of modern antiseptics used for complex treatment of deep burns and their effect on microbial composition of burn wounds. Materials and methods. Retrospective study of the results of complex treatment of 211 persons with burn injuries including 93 (44%) sufferers with deep burns which later on needed operative treatment was carried out. Taking into account the effect of traumatic factors patients were distributed in the following way: flame burns formed the largest group – 58 cases (62,37%), hot water burns – 21 persons (22,6%), contact burns – 7 (7,5%), hot fluid – 4 (4%), electric burns – 2 (2%) and chemical burn – 1 (1%). Results. In all cases with deep burns patients underwent staged deferred necrectomies, in most cases, after chemical necrosis with 40% salicylic ointment. First necrectomy was performed on the day 11,7±4,9 (mean data). The terms for autodermoplasty were 23,9±9,5 days, bed day – 40,6±15 days. In 78,5% of patients, 1% iodopiron solution was used as antiseptic. The results of bacteriologic inoculations from burn wounds were mainly the following: Pseudomonas aeroginosa - 30%, Staphylococcus aureus - 21%, Acinetobacter baumani - 17%. It turned out that in case of degree IIIB-IV burn, microorganisms in the wound are present more often as components of 2-component associations. Conclusion. Since pathogenic microflora in burn wounds very rapidly acquires resistance to local antimicrobial drugs, it is necessary to use them rationally, renew permanently and to study efficiency of additional complex and combined methods of influence on infection.

CLINICOROENTGENOLOGICAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASES
Abstract
Aim. To assess the clinicoroentgenological and morphological signs of fibrosing processes in the lungs in primary diagnosis of different IIP forms, as independent pulmonary intersticial diseases. Materials and methods. One hundred and thirty nine patients observed after complex examination including pathomorphological verification were diagnosed idiopathic fibrosing alveolitis (IFA). Results. Additional profound pathomorphological investigation had the following results: usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) as IFP basis, acute interstitial pneumonia (Hamman-Rich) and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP). It was established that peculiarities of these IIP variants were revealed both in the early and late period of disease. Simultaneously, available inflammatory pulmonary reaction with marked sclerosis, even at the late stage of disease, proves alveolitis activity. Conclusion. Essential differences, absent in clinicoroentgenological manifestations of exacerbation of pulmonary process in chronic IIP permit to consider pathomorphological method to be the main method of nosologic ILD diagnosis.

COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF METHODS FOR DETERMINATION OF GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE IN CHILDREN WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES MELLITUS
Abstract
Aim. To compare the methods for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) by means of determining blood serum creatinine and cystatin C concentrations so as to optimize early detection of diabetic kidney disease. Materials and methods. Thirty four DM1 patients (18 girls and 16 boys aged 8-18) with disease duration for more than 2 years were examined. GFR was assessed by creatinine level using Schwarz formula and serum cystatin C level – by means of special tables. Results. Reliable dependence of mean serum cystatin C concentration on DM «history» was found. In children with disease lasting for more than 5 years, cystatin C level was significantly higher than in patients with DM duration for less than 5 years: 1,05±0,28 mg/l versus 0,70 ±0,21 mg/l ( p =0,001). No statistically significant differences regarding creatinine indices (59,8±18,1 mmol/l and 52,3±15,4 mmol/l, respectively) were obtained. GFR calculated by cystatin C in the group of children suffering from DM for more than 5 years was 80,3±33,5 ml/min and was significantly lower than in children with disease «history» less than 5 years (123,8±44,5 ml/min; p =0,001). Correlation dependence between cystatin C level, GFR calculated by cystatin C, disease duration and age of DM debut was established. Conclusion. Early changes in GFR in children with diabetic lesion of kidneys can be diagnosed by means of cystatin C. According to our data, serum cystatin C is a more exact GFR marker than serum creatinine.

DYNAMICS OF BIOMECHANICAL AND ELECTROMYOGRAPHIC CHANGES IN CONSERVATIVE TREATMENT OF CHILDREN WITH IDIOPATHIC LOW LIMB SHORTENING
Abstract
Aim. To study the dynamics of biomechanical and electromyographic changes in conservative treatment of children with minor shortening of the low limbs. Materials and methods. Sixty five children aged 3-15 were examined. Computer optic topography (COT) and electromyography (EMG) were used for diagnosis. Results. Shortening of one of the low limbs caused side pelvic slope. Vertebral column formed a compensatory arc of curvature at the expense of changing statodynamic status of spinal-pelvic angle so as to preserve axis of vertical position. In 20% of cases adaptive responses of motor system were preserved in the form of pelvic defect and spinal deformations and conservative additional therapy was necessary after elimination of unevenness of legs by means of orthopedic shoes. Conservative complex treatment included ozocerite applications, massage, therapeutic physical training and electrostimulation of lumbar spine muscles, calcium ion-parametric magnetotherapy. Positive dynamics of basic COT and EMG indices was registered. Decrease in average limb shortened was 10%. Decline in pelvic defect angle in the frontal plane was 21% and total integral bearing defect index was 2,5-fold lower. Pathologic rotation index at the top of scoliotic arc decreased by 44% and asymmetry coefficient was two times less. Conclusion. Minor one-sided shortening of the low limbs’ length leads to secondary changes in spinal biomechanics. An adequate conservative treatment normalizes biomechanical and electromyographic indices preventing occurrence of scoliotic spinal deformations in children.

HEALTH PARAMETERS ASSESSMENT IN PRESCHOOL AND SCHOOLCHILDREN WITH ACUTE AND CHRONIC RESPIRATORY PATHOLOGY USING FUNCTIONAL METHODS OF INVESTIGATION
Abstract
Aim. To assess the health parameters in preschool and schoolchildren with acute and chronic respiratory diseases using functional methods of investigation. Materials and methods. Functional testing of 143 children (aged 5-15) divided into two groups was carried out. Group I joined 22 children with recurrent acute diseases of the upper and lower airways (RAD UaLA) and 20 patients with bronchial asthma (BA). Group II included schoolchildren: 45 – with RAD UaLA, 42 – with BA. The following methods were used: anthropometric, functional, quantitative assessment of physical health status (PHS), general capacity for work (GCW), estimation of adaptation abilities by means of adaptive potential (AP) and endurance coefficient (EC). Results. Anthropometric data indicate prevalence of children with body deficit among patients with RAD ULA and body weight excess among patients with BA, irrespective of age. According to physiometry data, children with RAD UaLA more often than BA patients demonstrated low parameters of respiratory and strength tests. More than a half of preschool children with RAD UaLA had low PHS parameters and significantly lower adaptive abilities of the body with regard to AP and EC. Conclusion. Children with respiratory diseases, irrespective of nosologic form, should have a corrected diet and/or nutritive support, should strengthen locomotor system, elevate physical readiness and reserve abilities of respiratory and cardiovascular system of the body. The initial physical health status assessed in preschool and schoolchildren with acute and chronic respiratory pathology using functional methods of investigation will permit to understand deeper the causes of their “ill health” and to develop an individual complex of rehabilitation measures.

SIGNIFICANCE OF BLOOD BIOCHEMICAL INDICES IN CHILDREN WITH ASSOCIATED INJURY
Abstract
Clear concept of pathobiochemical processes caused by severe injuries can be beneficial for optimization of treatment of sufferers with associated injuries. Biochemical investigations acquire special actuality in childhood in conditions of a growing organism. Aim. To assess the blood biochemical indices in children with associated injury. Materials and methods. One hundred and four patients after traffic accidents were admitted to pediatric surgery hospital and observed. Craniocerebral injury (CCI) was diagnosed in 72,1% of sufferers, abdominal injuries – in 61,5%, thoracic injuries – 26%, fractures – 53,8%. Laboratory investigations included bulk blood test, biochemical blood test: glucose, creatinine, urea, total amylase, alanine (ALT) and asparaginic transferases (AST), total bilirubin, whole protein and albumin in blood serum. These analyses were investigated on the days 1, 4, 7 and 10 after the accident. Results. The associated injury was stated to have a negative effect on carbohydrate, protein and pigment metabolism, to be accompanied by functional hepatic and pancreatic disorders increasing by the days 3–5 of traumatic disease and to be characterized by elevated activity of blood aminotransferases and α-amylase as well as disturbances of functional kidney status. CCI, as a component of associated injury, had unfavourable effect on restoration of the disturbed functions. Conclusion. Hypoalbuminemia, hypoproteinemia, increased ALT activity are prognostically unfavorable criteria for associated injury. These indices acquire special significance when CCI is one of the components of associated injury.

Abstract
Aim. To study the histological structure of hippocamp in different age periods in the postnatal ontogenesis. Materials and methods. The material for investigation was obtained from 50 corpses of both sex (25 to 89 years old) dead due to accidental reasons which were not connected with cerebral lesions or pathology. To carry out histological and morphological investigation, the right and left hippocamps were taken; generally accepted histological methods were used. Results. While studying hippocamp morphology in different age categories, it was established that in elderly and old persons there are structural signs of the lesion of pyramidal neurons and gliosis foci. While performing morphometric investigations, it was stated that there are statistically nonsignificant differences in the sizes of pyramidal neuron bodies in the corresponding fields of hippocamp in the right and left hemispheres. The neuron sizes in CA1 field are subjected to statistically significant changes – at old age their sizes are significantly smaller than in other age groups. The revealed tendency is true both for the right and left hemispheres. Conclusion. Old and elderly persons have structural signs of pyramidal neuron lesions and glia reaction. Regularities of changing pyramidal neuron body sizes at old age were detected in morphometric investigations.

NEWBORN BODY MASS IN GROUPS WITH DIFFERENT DEGREE OF URBANIZATION IN PERM TERRITORY
Abstract
Aim. To carry out the analysis of body mass in newborns presenting different by urbanization degree groups of Perm Territory population. Materials and methods. In Perm Territory, newborn body mass (NBM) was analyzed by WHO criteria. Open materials of RF Social Insurance Fund database were used. The data concerning 14561 children from 14 settlements (city agglomeration, large cities, middle and small towns) born from 01.01.2007 to 01.01.2008 were included. Results. The NBM in subsamples for each of the types of the population is within the «desired» range of fluctuations of WHO «weight-for-age» index. Mean NBM without birthplace taken into account corresponds to 51,9 centils (WHO standards). Mean NBM values by subsamples according to birthplace are grouped into three reliably different clusters: 1) infants of city agglomeration, 2) infants born in cities, 3) infants born in middle and small towns and villages. Conclusion. The obtained data prove dependence of the body mass at birth on the size of settlement. The live-born body mass should be estimated as satisfactory in Perm Territory.

LABORATORY CRITERIA FOR DIAGNOSIS OF EARLY HEALTH STATUS DISTURBANCES IN AGROINDUSTRIAL COMPLEX WORKERS
Abstract
Aim. To determine the informative laboratory criteria for early revealing of disturbed health status in conditions of chronic aerogenic load, to estimate hemostasis indices regarding trend and intensity of correlations between the components. Materials and methods. The data of profound examination of 360 workers of large poultry complex in conditions of periodic medical examination were analyzed. Activity of hepatocyte cytolysis markers was determined, blood serum lipid spectrum was investigated, different components of immunity were assessed using levels I-II immunological tests. Group 1 consisted of 215 persons of main professions, group 2 – 145 additional professions. Results. The most frequently diagnosed diseases among poultry farm workers are the diseases of locomotor system (vertebrogenic cervicoischia-dorsalgia, osteochondroses, osteoarthroses). This pathology was detected in 68,8±0,22% of the examined patients of group 1 and 58,6±0,34% – group 2. Cardiovascular disorders are mostly presented by arterial hypertension – 23,7±0,2% in the group of main workers and 31,03±0,3%b – in group 2. When comparing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and lipid profile disturbances in the workers of main professions it was established that hypercholesterinemia occurred more often than clinical manifestations of disease (53,0% and 38,1%, respectively). Aggregate of increased total cholesterol and glucose levels, excess body mass characterize development of metabolic syndrome in the examined patients. Taking into account the results of clinical investigation, diabetes mellitus and thyroid diseases are diagnosed only in 6,6% of the examined patients. Conclusion. Patients exposed to industrial factors were found to have significant disturbances of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism that proves presence of metabolic syndrome. Among workers of main professions, changes in immunoresponsiveness of the body are noted significantly more often.
