The effectiveness of the original technique of hemorrhoidectomy with lateral ultrasonic dissection in the cutting mode was analyzed from a clinical standpoint and studied according to pathomorphological changes in tissues during its use. A comparative assessment of the immediate results of treatment as well as pathomorphological changes in the tissue of removed hemorrhoids in two groups of patients was performed. The main group included 30 patients in whom the original hemorrhoidectomy technique with lateral ultrasound dissection in the cutting mode was used. The control group consisted of 30 patients who underwent Milligan Morgan hemorrhoidectomy using electrocoagulation. No significant difference was found between these groups in terms of the age and sex structure of patients, as well as the main clinical characteristics of the disease. In a comparative analysis of the immediate treatment results, the intensity of the pain syndrome and the incidence of postoperative complications were lower in the main group than in the control group. In the assessment of pathomorphological changes, the depth of coagulation necrosis and the severity of necrobiotic changes in the underlying layer after hemorrhoidectomy with lateral ultrasonic dissection in the cutting mode were significantly less than those after Milligan Morgan surgery using electrocoagulation. A significant difference was also revealed in the timing of tissue regeneration. The formation of active granulations in the postoperative wound area in the main group was noted on postoperative days 1416, while this process developed no earlier than on postoperative day 20 in the control group. As a result, complete epithelialization of wounds after hemorrhoidectomy with lateral ultrasound dissection in the cutting mode occurred much earlier, i.e., postoperative days 2630. A similar process after the Milligan Morgan hemorrhoidectomy using monopolar coagulation was completed only on postoperative days 3638. Thus, the use of the original technique of lateral ultrasound dissection provides a more sparing effect on tissues, which is the key to a favorable course of the postoperative period and rapid rehabilitation of patients.

Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of using ozonated solutions combined with decamethoxin solution in the treatment of purulent wounds.Methods. 101 patients with purulent wounds were under observation. In the treatment of all patients, the first stage was surgical debridement, which removes exudate and non-viable tissue. Also the conditions for wound drainage and good drainage of wound exudate were created, and then the treatment of wounds under a bandage was performed. In the main group (51 people) in addition to the basic treatment ozonated 0.9% sodium chloride solution with a concentration of ozone 8-10 μg/mL and 0.02% decamethoxin solution were used. The general condition of patients and the wound condition were evaluated over time.Results. The duration of fever and pain syndrome did not differ in the groups. A statistically significant difference between groups in the terms of symptoms disappearance and wounds healing was found, indicating the advantages of using the decamethoxin solution in combination with ozonated 0.9% sodium chloride solution in treatment of purulent wounds. The length of stay in hospital statistically significantly decreased compared to the control group. Positive dynamics was observed on the wounds cytology: starting from 3 days of treatment in the main group neutrophil count decreased, number of lymphocytes and polyblasts increased. With the increase in terms from the beginning of the treatment, there was even greater reduction in the number of neutrophils, the increase in the number of lymphocytes and the appearance of macrophages and fibroblasts.Conclusion. The study results demonstrated the benefits of using combination of ozonated solutions with decametoxine solution in the treatment of purulent wounds; method is available to any surgical wards and outpatient clinics.

Introduction. Back pain is not only a high prevalence, but also a costly health problem. That is why the search for new and the optimization of existing methods of dorsopathies treatment acquire an important clinical and medico-social significance. In recent years, the medical community has increased the interest in non-drug methods of treatment, including osteopathy. Previous studies have substantiated the possibility of effective application of osteopathic correction methods in the treatment of patients with dorsopathies. A specific object of the osteopath′s work is somatic dysfunction (SD). And if earlier SD was perceived from the standpoint of purely biomechanical disorders, then in recent years there have been serious changes in understanding the heterogeneity of this state nature. The biomechanical, rhythmogenic and neurodynamic components are conventionally distinguished in the structure of SD. One of the neurodynamic disorders types is the violation of motor stereotypes, the so-called static-dynamic disorders, revealed through special dynamic tests and manifested in the functional impossibility of building of active movement at various levels. At the same time, the generally accepted biomechanical approaches do not allow to completely eliminate violations of the statodynamic stereotype.The goal of research — the study was to research the effectiveness of the osteopathic approach using in combination with kinesitherapy for correction of the statodynamic stereotype violations in patients with dorsopathy at the cervicothoracic level.Materials and methods. A controlled randomized prospective study was conducted on the basis of a private rehabilitation center «Ezramed-Clinic» in Omsk in the period from February 2019 to December 2019. 52 patients with a diagnosis of dorsopathy at the cervicothoracic level were observed. 12 people were knocked out during the study in accordance with the exclusion criteria. As a result, 40 patients participated in the study. Depending on the applied treatment method, the patients were divided by simple randomization into two groups (main and control), each of which consisted of 20 people. Both groups of patients received osteopathic correction three times with a frequency of receptions 1 time in 7–10 days. The main group of patients additionally independently performed daily for 10 minutes a set of exercises aimed to restore the disturbed motor stereotypes (normal synkinesis). The control group of patients additionally independently performed a set of exercise therapy for the cervical spine every day for 10 minutes. All patients, regardless of the group, underwent an osteopathic examination before and after treatment with the formation of an osteopathic conclusion; the severity of pain syndrome and the volume of active movements in the cervical spine were assessed. The severity of the pain syndrome and the range of active movements were assessed before and immediately after treatment, as well as 3 months after the first session.Results. The use of osteopathic correction in conjunction with kinesitherapy (both special exercises and a complex of exercise therapy) in patients with a diagnosis of dorsopathy at the cervicothoracic level leads to a statistically significant increase in the range of motion in the cervical spine in the sagittal and frontal planes (p<0,05). The combination of osteopathic correction together with exercise therapy in patients of the control group led to a statistically more significant increase (p<0,05) in the range of motion in the cervical spine in the frontal plane after treatment compared with the results of the main group. However, 3 months after treatment, the indicators in patients of both groups did not have statistically significant differences.The combination of osteopathic correction in conjunction with kinesiotherapy in the form of special exercises for the motor stereotype correction in the main group of patients with diagnosed dorsopathy at the cervicothoracic level led to a statistically significant (p<0,05) decrease in the intensity of the pain syndrome at the 2nd session.Conclusion. In order to increase the effectiveness of treatment, osteopathic correction of somatic dysfunctions in patients with dorsopathy at the cervicothoracic level can be supplemented with complex kinesitherapy, both in the form of traditional exercise therapy, and in the form of special exercises for correction of altered motor stereotype.

Results of randomized prospective study with participation of 94 patients aged from 20 to 70 years with monosegmental lumbar spine lesions are presented. Minimum invasive surgical interventions were performed in 55 patients from the main group. Control group consisted of 39 patients in whom decompressive-stabilizing operations via conventional posteromedian approach with skeletization of posterior segments of vertebral column were performed. Average size of operative wound in open interventions more than 10 times exceeded that size in minimum invasive interventions and made up 484 ± 56 and 36 ± 12 sq.cm, respectively. Mean blood loss was 326.6 ± 278.0 ml in the main group and 855.1 ± 512.0 ml in the comparative one. In the main group no one patient required substitution hemotransfusion, while in 13 patients from the comparative group donor erythrocytic mass and/or fresh-frozen plasma were used to eliminate the deficit of blood components. Intensity of pain syndrome in the zone of surgical intervention by visual analog scale in the main group was lower than in comparative group. In the main and comparative groups the duration of hospitalization made up 6.1 ± 2.7 and 9.7 ± 3.7 bed days, respectively. In no one patient from the main group complications in the zone of operative wound were noted. Three patients from the comparative group required secondary debridement and in 1 patient early deep operative wound suppuration was observed. Application of low invasive surgical techniques for the treatment of patients with degenerative lumbar spine lesions enabled to perform radical surgical treatment with minimal iatrogenic injury. The method possessed indubitable advantages over the conventional open operations especially intraoperatively and in early postoperative period.

Objective. To evaluate ultrasound-guided inactivation of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) combined with abdominal muscle fascia stripping by liquid knife in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) complicated with abdominal myofascial pain syndrome (AMPS). Methods. From January 2015 to July 2018, non-head-and-neck PHN patients in the Pain Department, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, were treated with routine oral drugs and weekly paraspinal nerve block for two weeks. Patients with 2 < VAS (visual analogue scale) score < 6 were subjects of the study. They were assigned into control group 1 (C1, n = 33) including those with PHN and without myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) and control group 2 (C2, n = 33) including those with PHN complicated with MPS and observation group 1 (PL, n = 33) including those with PHN complicated with limb myofascial pain syndrome (LMPS) and observation group 2 (PA, n = 33) including those with PHN complicated with AMPS. All groups received zero-grade treatment: routine oral drugs and weekly paraspinal nerve block. PL and PA groups were also treated step by step once a week: primary ultrasound-guided inactivation of MTrPs with dry needling, secondary ultrasound-guided inactivation of MTrPs with dry and wet needling, and tertiary ultrasound-guided dry and wet needling combined with muscle fascia stripping by liquid knife. At one week after primary treatment, patients with a VAS score > 2 proceeded to secondary treatment. If the VAS score was <2, the treatment was maintained, and so on, until the end of the four treatment cycles. Pain assessment was performed by specialized nurses at one week after each treatment, including VAS score, McGill pain questionnaire (MPQ) score, pressure pain sensory threshold (PPST), and pressure pain tolerance threshold (PPTT). VAS score was used as the main index and VAS <2 indicated effective treatment. At 3 months after treatment, outpatient and/or telephone follow-up was performed. The recurrence rate was observed and VAS > 2 was regarded as recurrence. Results. At one week after primary treatment, the effective rate was 66.7% in PL group, significantly higher than that in PA group (15.2%, P<0.05). At one week after secondary treatment, the effective rate was 100% and 37.5% in PL and PA groups, respectively, with significant difference between the groups (P<0.05). The effective rate increased to 90.6% in PA group at one week after tertiary treatment. At one week after the end of treatment cycles, the scores of VAS and MPQ were significantly lower in C1, PL, and PA groups than in C2 group (P<0.05), while PPST and PPTT were significantly higher than in C2 group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between C1 group and PL group (P>0.05). At follow-up at 3 months after treatment, the recurrence rate was low in each group, with no significant difference between the groups (P>0.05). Conclusion. About 57% of PHN patients with mild to moderate pain are complicated with MPS, and ultrasound-guided inactivation of MTrPs with dry and wet needling can effectively treat PHN patients complicated with LMPS. However, patients with PHN complicated with AMPS need to be treated with ultrasound-guided MTrPs inactivation combined with muscle fascia stripping by liquid knife as soon as possible.

Background. The effective treatment of the hand-foot syndrome is a necessary component of the complex treatment of patients receiving antitumor therapy with multikinase inhibitors. Aims. The assessment of a new effective method for the treatment of palm-plantar syndrome in patients receiving multi-kinase inhibitors. Materials and methods. There are 27 patients received antitumor treatment with multi-kinase inhibitors and had clinical manifestations of the hand-foot syndrome (HFS) for observation. The main group (14 patients) used a combination of an alpha-lipoic acid at a dose of 600 mg per day per os and an ointment containing 0.005% calcipotriol and 0.05% betamethasone dipropionate 2 times a day. The control group, included 13 patients, used a combination with a cream containing 10% urea and ointment containing 0.05% betamethasone dipropionate. Results. After a week of treatment, the regression of the skin process was observed in both groups, but it was more evident in the main group: significant differences in severity of erythema, paresthesia, pain and burning sensation, the Dermatological Life Quality Index (DLQI) were observed at this stage of therapy (p < 0.05). After 2 weeks of therapy: a more positive trend in the main group in terms of erythema, paresthesia and burning, but the most significant difference is DLQI – 17.4 in the main group and 22.8 in the control group (p < 0.0001). At the end of the 3rd week of therapy: differences with the main characteristics of erythema, desquamation, paresthesia (p < 0.0008), pain (p < 0.0001), DLQI (p < 0.0001). At the end point of the study (after 4 weeks of therapy), significant differences were found in reducing the symptoms and the main parameters for evaluating the effectiveness of DLQI in patients of the main group with a reliability of p < 0.0001. The high correlation of DLQI was found with erythema, pain, burning, paresthesia and desquamation. Conclusions. The treatment of the hand-foot plantar syndrome combined using alpha-lipoic acid inside and topical therapy in the form of an ointment containing calcipotriol and betamethasone dipropionate, can be recommended for patients receiving targeted therapy with multi-kinaseinhibitors.

Purpose: to compare two types of phacoemulsification parameters (combination ultrasound and torsional US with IP) with estimating the number of postoperative complications caused by intraoperative trauma of corneal endothelial cells.Patients and methods. 72 patients underwent phacoemulsification with IOL implantation. Patients were randomly divided into two groups (main n = 33 and control n = 39). During the aspiration of lens fragments in the main group the combination ultrasound was used, while torsional US with IP was used in the control group. Endothelial cell counting and other examinations were performed 1 day, 1 week and 6 months after the surgery.Results. CDVA in the explored groups 1 week after the surgery was similar: the main group — 0.813 ± 0.228, the control group — 0.765 ± 0.250, There was also no statistically significant difference in the thickness of the cornea between the groups: the main group — 533.48 ± 12.41, the control group — 536.44 ± 10.92. At the same time, a statistically significant difference was found in the density of endothelial cells: the main group: 1871.30 ± 187.41 (after 1 week), 1865 ± 178.9 (after 6 months); control group: 1809.63 ± 225.43 (after 1 week), 1791 ± 230.82 (after 6 months). The percentage of cell loss was, respectively, lower in the main group at all times of observation: 3.90% (after 1 day), 4.54% (after 1 week), 4.9% (after 6 months). In the control group: 7.71% (after 1 day), 9.25% (after 1 week), 10.4% (after 6 months).Conclusions. Data obtained in this study has showed the advantages of combination ultrasound in comparison with torsional US with IP, when performing aspiration of dense lenses. Due to lower consumption of ultrasound energy and higher aspiration rate of the fragments, combination ultrasound can reduce the loss of corneal endothelial cells and decrease the number and severity of postoperative complications associated with it.

Introduction. The presence of somatic diseases during pregnancy leaves a serious imprint on the emotional state of a woman, significantly worsens the quality life indicators and affects the clinical characteristics of pregnancy. One of these diseases is chronic pyelonephritis. There are a fairly large number of recommendations for the treatment of this pathology. However the focus is mainly on drug therapy. At the same time the existing restrictions on the number of drugs using during pregnancy, the problem of polypragmasia, and the increase in the number of allergic complications of drugs using dictate the need to search alternative methods of treatment, primarily non-drug ones. Moreover, the problems of pregnant women life quality with chronic pyelonephritis during complex drug therapy are often not given due attention.The goal of research — to assess the impact of osteopathic correction on the psycho-emotional state and life quality of pregnant women with concomitant pathology of the urinary system.Materials and methods. A prospective controlled randomized study was conducted in the period 03.2016– 01.2018 on the basis of medical clinics of LLC «Mokhov Institute of osteopathy» and LLC «Vasileostrovskaya clinic of reproduction and genetics». There were observed work 48 pregnant women with chronic pyelonephritis aged 25–45 years, with a gestation period 13–27 weeks. During the processing of the clinical material, 8 patients were eliminated. As a result of the selection process, a group of 40 people was formed. All pregnant women with chronic kidney disease, depending on the used treatment method, were divided into two groups using a simple randomization method with a random number generator. There was formed the main group (20 people), and the control group (20 people). Patients of the main group received medication and osteopathic correction (3 procedures with an interval of 7–10 days). Patients in the control group received only traditional drug therapy. All pregnant women with chronic pyelonephritis had an osteopathic examination before and after treatment with forming an osteopathic conclusion, and the assessment of the pain syndrome severity by a visual analog scale (VAS), the general psycho-emotional state (the method of rapid assessment of health, activity and mood — HAM), and the level of life quality (Questionnaire Medical Outcomes Study — Short Form).Results. Pregnant women with chronic pyelonephritis were characterized by a weak pain syndrome, a psychoemotional state violations in the categories «well-being» and «activity», and a decrease in both the physical and mental components of life quality. After the complex treatment including the additional to traditional drug therapy osteopathic correction methods, the statistically significant decrease of the pain severity degree (p=0,001), increase of psychoemotional state rates in the category of «activity» (p=0,05) and the increase of physical and mental components of life quality (p=0,02) were observed in the main group compared with the control.Conclusion. Chronic pathology of the kidneys during pregnancy affects the emotional state of a woman, significantly worsens life quality indicators. The use of osteopathic correction as a part of the complex therapy of pregnant women with chronic pyelonephritis can improve the emotional state and life quality; reduce the pain severity, and so can be used to improve medical care for this population category.

Importance. Exfoliative cheilitis is an inflammatory disease accompanied by damage to the red border of the lips. With dry exfoliative cheilitis, scales form on the lips, which are densely soldered to the underlying tissue in the center, and along the periphery, on the contrary, are raised. At the same time, patients indicate a feeling of dryness, burning. When the exudative form of cheilitis is observed puffiness, sore lips. Diagnosis of exfoliative cheilitis is reduced to the collection of complaints, the preparation of anamnesis of the disease, physical examination. For the treatment of exfoliative cheilitis, Bucca rays, moisturizing creams, acupuncture techniques, as well as agents that increase body resistance are used. As it turned out, in practice, all existing methods of treatment are ineffective, and the disease is manifested by frequent relapses. Pathology is more common in women. The dry form of the disease is mainly detected at the age of 16-40 years. Exudative cheilitis is diagnosed in patients aged 16-65 years. Objectives ― evaluate the effectiveness of lip balm based on lamb fat, and make a conclusion based on the clinical data and patient's subjective sensations. Methods. Twenty patients aged from 18 to 45 years with a diagnosis of exfoliative cheilitis were selected for work. All patients were divided into two groups: control (10 people) and main (10 people). Local therapy in both groups began according to the generally accepted scheme: sanation of the oral cavity, treatment of periodontal diseases according to indications, selective grinding off of the sharp edges of the teeth. In the main group, patients received treatment in the form of an application with a cool furatsilina solution, and applying the dosage form in the form of lip balm., Consisting of red-hot lamb fat and filtered through gauze, lanolin, pumpkin oil, ylang ylang oil, geranium oil, and also vitamins oil A and E and medical paraffin, this dosage form was prepared in paraffin and sterilized, after complete cooling it was applied to the lips with a spatula, and the patients easily used it at home as a balm for K in the morning and evening. Patients of the control group received the traditional treatment of cheilitis, anestezin applications, lip treatment with an antiseptic solution and keratoplasty applications - vitamin A and E oil. The results of the treatment were evaluated according to the clinical examination of patients, as well as taking into account the subjective feelings of the patients. Results. Based on the schemes of complex treatment of exfoliative cheilitis in patients of the main group, a positive result was obtained after the 3rd visit. A decrease in pain syndrome, a decrease in lesion elements (flakes), epithelization of cracks, a decrease in pain syndrome, a decrease in complaints of dryness of the red border of the lips were revealed. Conclusions. The development of this algorithm for treating ecfoliative cheilitis, including a mutton fat lip balm, has reduced the treatment time for this pathology.

Relevance. Occlusal splints, made for the patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD), influence proprioceptive sensitivity, sensory characteristics of pain, parameters of microcirculation of the pulp and periodontium of the healthy teeth. Condition of the pulp and periodontium of the healthy teeth should be assessed in patients with TMD associated with connective tissue dysplasia (CTD).Materials and methods. The study examined 36 TMD patients aged 26.3 ± 1.3 лет (М ± m) with CTD (n = 20, main group) and without CTD (n = 16, control group); with natural teeth, without complaints of TMD, masticatory muscles and periodontal condition. Laser doppler flowmetry (LDF) helped to analyze blood flow parameters in the periodontium and pulp of the healthy teeth. Received results were statistically analyzed.Results. Wavelet analysis revealed different microcirculatory flowmotion: high-amplitude irregular type was in patients of the main group, low-amplitude regular type was in controls. In the main group, perfusion is supported by high values of flux and vasomotion, ergotropic sympathetic effects (controlled by catecholamines) prevail, myogenic tone is reduced, elevated microvascular tone reflects possible changes in rheologic blood properties, microcirculatory signs of pain syndrome and relatively elevated ischemic index in pulp microcirculation of healthy teeth.Conclusion. Sensory and regulatory mechanisms, reflected by the condition of periodontium and pulp blood flow, can be regarded as early signs of inflammation and chronic pain in the diagnosis of TMD in patients without complaints.
