Aim. To study change of electrometric index of fillings and dental inlays marginal adjoining on the border with hard tooth tissues in patients with xerostomia over time. Methods. 40 patients (male - 11, female - 29) aged from 28 to 56 years with xerostomia, in whom 80 dental restorations were completed. Inclusion criteria were the following: signed informed consent, diagnosis of xerostomia, preserved chewing function of mandibular and maxillar teeth, and presence of an antagonist of the examined tooth. Patients were divided into two subgroups (40 patients each) depending on the treatment method used: dental filling (1st group) or dental inlay (2nd group). Both fillings and inlays were made of packed restorative composite Filtek P60. Dental dam was used to isolate restored tooth from saliva. Marginal adjoining control at the border «tooth-composite» was made by «DentEst» (Geosoft, Russia) electrometric device. Comparative evaluation of marginal adjoining quality at «tooth-filling» and «tooth inlay» border was performed at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after treatment. Results. 10 minutes after treatment mean values of marginal permeability in the first group did not significantly differed from the second group, indicating good marginal adjoining. 3 months after the treatment at electrometry marginal adjoining was incomplete in 1 filling out of 40, compared to the second group where marginal permeability was still good at 12 months after treatment. The functional examination of restored teeth with good marginal adjoining at a period from 3 to 12 months after treatment showed that this number reduced from 98 to 45% in the first group and from 100 to 95% in the second group. Differences between groups were statistically significant. Conclusion. In patients with xerostomia tooth reconstruction using dental inlay is more effective than use of dental filling.

The aim of the paper is to conduct a comparative assessment of bowel decompression methods in operations on toxic widespread peritonitis. Materials and Methods. The authors examined 162 patients with widespread peritonitis of various etiologies. Using generally accepted methods, they compared treatment results using one of the three methods of intestinal decompression: cecostomy, nasointestinal intubation, and cecostomy with intubation of the small intestine. Results. It was detected that in case of small intestine intubation through the cecostomy (in comparison with other methods), intra-abdominal pressure returned to normal on the 2nd day, and in case of cecostomy or nasointestinal intubation – on the 5th and 7th day, respectively. Also, decrease in intoxication indicators was observed 2 days earlier than usual. Conclusion. Intubation of the small intestine through the cecostoma provides the most adequate intestinal decompression in patients with advanced toxic peritonitis. Early normalization of intra-abdominal pressure in patients with advanced toxic peritonitis improves treatment outcomes. Keywords: widespread peritonitis, intestinal decompression. Цель – сравнительная оценка способов декомпрессии кишечника при операциях по поводу распространённого перитонита в токсической стадии. Материалы и методы. Наблюдали 162 пациента с распространённым перитонитом различной этиологии. С использованием общепринятых методик сравнивались результаты лечения при применении одного из трёх способов декомпрессии кишечника: цекостомии, назоинтестинальной интубации и наложения цекостомы с интубацией тонкой кишки. Результаты. Установлено, что при использовании интубации тонкого кишечника через цекостому, в сравнении с другими применявшимися нами способами, внутрибрюшное давление нормализовалось на второй день, а при использовании цекостомии или назоинтестинальной интубации – на 5-й и 7-й дни соответственно. Также на 2 сут раньше происходило снижение показателей интоксикации. Выводы. Наиболее адекватную декомпрессию кишечника у пациентов с распространённым перитонитом в токсической стадии обеспечивает интубация тонкого кишечника через цекостому. Ранняя нормализация внутрибрюшного давления у пациентов с распространённым перитонитом в токсической стадии позволяет улучшить результаты лечения. Ключевые слова: распространённый перитонит, декомпрессия кишечника.

Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: Szemhéjcsüngésnek (ptosis vagy blepharoptosis) nevezzük azt az állapotot, amikor a felső szemhéj abnormálisan alacsony pozícióban van. A szemhéjcsüngésnek lehetnek veleszületett és szerzett formái. Célkitűzés: Célunk volt bemutatni a szemhéjemelő izom (levator) – veleszületett szemhéjcsüngés korrekciója céljából végzett – kötőhártya felőli redőzésének eredményeit retrospektív módszerrel. Módszer: 20 beteg 22 szemhéján végeztük el a műtétet (átlagéletkor: 19,4 ± 9,9 év, férfi: 12 [60%], nő: 8 [40%]). Beválasztási kritérium volt a közepes (5–8 mm) vagy jó (9 mm felett) levatorfunkció. Kizártuk a korábban szemhéjkorrekciós műtéten átesett és a 3 hónapnál rövidebb követési idővel rendelkező betegeket. A műtét előtt megmértük a levatorfunkciót és a margó–reflex-távolságot. A műtét után megmértük a margó–reflex-távolságot, a szemhéjak magassága közti aszimmetria mértékét, és elemeztük a szemhéj posztoperatív kontúrját. Eredmények: A preoperatív levatorfunkció 10,6 ± 3,0 mm, a preoperatív margó–reflex-távolság 1,8 ± 0,8 mm volt. A 7,8 ± 7,2 hónap átlagos követési idő alatt a posztoperatív margó–reflex-távolság 3,2 ± 0,8 mm volt. A preoperatív és a posztoperatív margó–reflex-távolság különbsége nem tért el szignifikánsan a sikeres és a sikertelen műtétek között (p = 0,523). A szemhéjak magassága közti aszimmetria mértéke 3 betegnél haladta meg az 1 mm-t. A szemhéj posztoperatív kontúrja minden esetben megfelelő volt. A műtét összességében 86,4%-ban (19/22) volt sikeres. A helyi érzéstelenítésben és altatásban végzett műtétek közt nem találtunk szignifikáns különbséget a sikeresség tekintetében (p = 0,227). Következtetés: Tanulmányunk alapján az elvégzett műtéteink eredményessége a nemzetközi irodalomban közöltekhez hasonló volt. A veleszületett szemhéjcsüngés korrekciójára a kötőhártya felőli levatorredőzés megfelelő kezelési mód közepes vagy annál jobb levatorfunkció esetén. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(18): 705–711. Summary. Introduction: Droopy eyelid (ptosis or blepharoptosis) is defined through abnormally low upper eyelid position. Ptosis can be classified as congenital or acquired. Objective: Our purpose was to report the results of posterior approach levator plication for congenital ptosis in a retrospective review. Method: 22 eyelids of 20 patients were included in this study (age: 19.4 ± 9.9 years, male: 12 [60%], female: 8 [40%]). The inclusion criteria were moderate (5–8 mm) or good (more than 9 mm) levator function. Patients with postoperative follow-up time shorter than 3 months and those who underwent previous eyelid surgery were excluded. The data collected included preoperative levator function and margin reflex distance, postoperative margin reflex distance, inter-eyelid height asymmetry and postoperative eyelid contour. Results: Preoperative levator function was 10.6 ± 3.0 mm, preoperative margin reflex distance was 1.8 ± 0.8 mm. During 7.8 ± 7.2 months postoperative follow-up, postoperative margin reflex distance was 3.2 ± 0.8 mm. The difference between preoperative and postoperative margin reflex distance was not significant (p = 0.523) in the group of successful operations compared with unsuccessful operations. Inter-eyelid height asymmetry was more than 1 mm in 3 cases. Satisfactory postoperative eyelid contour was achieved in all cases. Overall success rate was 86.4% (19/22). Surgical success did not differ significantly between surgeries in local or general anaesthesia (p = 0.227). Conclusion: Our study shows an overall success rate of the procedures comparable to those in international publications. Posterior approach levator plication for congenital ptosis with moderate or better levator function seems to be a suitable treatment method. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(18): 705–711.

The aim of this double-blind, controlled, split-mouth designed clinical trial was to assess the effect of a single application of Gluma Desensitizer® on alleviating dentin hypersensitivity. Twelve subjects entered the study and ten completed the protocol. Each subject had two teeth treated: one with Gluma Desensitizer® according to the manufacturer's instructions and one with water. The assessment of pain was performed with the VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), after tactile (probe), thermal (cold blast of water) and thermal/evaporative (cold blast of air) stimuli at baseline, immediately after treatment, after 1 week and after 4 weeks. The mean VAS values for the test and control teeth were compared by the paired t test (alpha = 0.05). Repeated measurements ANOVA was used to compare the different experimental times. The results showed that for test teeth, at baseline, mean VAS values were 1.76 (± 2.82), 7.10 (± 2.10) and 4.75 (± 2.65), and, after 4 weeks, the mean values were 1.70 (± 2.31), 5.50 (± 3.30) and 4.61 (± 3.14), respectively for probe, water and air stimuli. For the control teeth, at baseline, the mean VAS values were 1.86 (± 2.92), 6.61 (± 2.31) and 4.08 (± 2.91) and, after 4 weeks, 2.66 (± 3.07), 6.32 (± 2.94) e 4.76 (± 3.26).There were no statistically significant differences between test and control teeth at any time. No intra-group differences were demonstrated either. It was concluded that Gluma Desensitizer® had no effect on hypersensitive teeth from periodontally treated patients for a period up to 4 weeks.

The widespread adoption of web vulnerability scanners and the differences in the functionality provided by these tool-based vulnerability detection approaches increase the demand for testing their detection effectiveness. Despite the advantages of dynamic testing approaches, the literature lacks studies that systematically evaluate the performance of open source web vulnerability scanners. The main objectives of this study are to assess the performance of open source scanners from multiple perspectives and to examine their detection capability. This paper presents the results of a comparative evaluation of the security features as well as the performance of four web vulnerability detection tools. We followed this comparative assessment with a case study in which we evaluate the level of agreement between the results reported by two open source web vulnerability scanners. Given that the results of our comparative evaluation did not show significant performance differences among the scanners while the results of the conducted case study revealed high level of disagreement between the reports generated by different scanners, we conclude that the inconsistencies between the reports generated by different scanners might not necessarily correlate with their performance properties. We also present some recommendations for helping developers of web vulnerabilities scanners to improve their tools’ capabilities.

The article presents treatment results of the personalized cell therapy (PCT) method in patients with early post-operative bullous keratopathy which developed in eyes with pre-existing primary Fuchs’ corneal endothelial dystrophy (ED). The patented PCT consists in incubating in vitro the patient’s blood with the stimulator (polyA:polyU), collecting serum with activated leukocytes weighted in it, and introducing the obtained cell preparation in the anterior chamber of the patient’s eye. The study included 12 patients with ED and pseudophakia. The observation period ranged from 8 to 12 months. The therapeutic effect of PCT was obtained in 58.3% of cases, allowing to avoid further surgical procedures. To achieve a good therapeutic effect, several PCT sessions are recommended. To date, PCT is the only effective therapeutic treatment method for early corneal edema after phacoemulsification. (For citation: Astakhov SYu, Riks IA, Papanyan SS, et al.

Currently the problem of the impact of nanoparticles and nanomaterials on human health remains to be poorly understood. As in our studies of the impact of silver nanoparticles on rats liver as well in works of other researchers there were investigated morphofunctional indices under peroral exposure. Although all researchers took different sizes, doses and concentrations of silver nanoparticles, various exposure time and different stabilizers, the same effects had been obtained, which, however, were occurred under both different doses and time of exposure. However, it was interesting to compare the impact of silver nanoparticles with reference substance - silver sulfate on the mice liver with the previously evaluated effect produced on the rats ’ liver. By ourselves there was executed the morphological comparative evaluation of in vivo oral 2-weeks exposure of 4 concentrations (0.1; 5; 50 and 500 mg/l) of silver nanoparticles with size of 14 nm, stable arabian gum 1:7 by weight, and of 4 similar concentrations of silver sulfate on the liver of male mice СВАхС57В1/6 weighing 25-35g. 2 groups were considered as control: intact mice and mice received gum in water. Results of the exposure were assessed according to 10 morphological and functional indices. The impact of nanosilver was shown to initiate from its concentration of 50 mg/l and to express in the gain of the index of alteration of the cytoplasm of hepatocytes with the increasing in both severity of steatosis and the number of micronecroses, persisting at the same level at concentrations of 500 mg/l and with the elevation of the index of alteration of nuclei of hepatocytes, while the similar effect develops under the influence of silver sulfate at a concentration of 500 mg/l only. The remaining investigated morphofunctional indices did not differ significantly in all groups of mice. Unlike previously executed studies on rats, mice appeared to be sensitive to the effects of nano-silver more than to silver sulfate.
