Background. In destructive forms of pulmonary tuberculosis, especially in the presence of drug resistance of mycobacteria, one of the ways to increase the effectiveness of therapy is the use of collapse therapeutic techniques in various modifications. Purpose of the study: to develop and substantiate an algorithm for complex treatment of destructive forms of pulmonary tuberculosis, using artificial pneumothorax (AP). Material and methods: A cohort of 84 people with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis was formed. It was divided into two groups: 42 patients in the main group (chemotherapy (ChT) + AP) and 42 in the comparison group (ChT). Results: an algorithm for the treatment of patients with destructive forms of pulmonary tuberculosis was formulated. Within a period of up to 6 months, abacillation was achieved in 61.9% of cases in the main group (MG), and in 18.9% (p <0.05) in the comparison group (CG). By the 10th month of treatment, the closure of decay cavities was achieved in 78.7% of cases in the MG and in 42.8% (p <0.05) in the CG. By 12 months the closure of decay cavities was observed in 92.1 and 52.4% of cases respectively (p <0.05). Conclusions: The use of the algorithm for the complex treatment of destructive forms of pulmonary tuberculosis makes it possible to achieve abacillation at an earlier time (up to 6 months - in 61.9%). It also allows to increase the frequency of cavity closure by 39.6% as well as achieve an increase in clinical cure (according to long-term results of treatment) by 23.8% and a decrease in the amplification of drug resistance and mortality by 14.3% and 11.9% correspondingly.

Despite a decrease in the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in the Russian Federation in recent years, among the newly diagnosed patients there remains a significant proportion of patients with bacterial excretion and destructive pulmonary tuberculosis. In patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis, surgical treatment is often the only possible method for saving lives. We studied the results of extrapleural posterosuperior thoracoplasty in 42 patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis. The comparison group consisted of 30 patients who received medicamentous therapy. The mortality rate for 3 years of follow-up in the conservative treatment group was 36.7%, in the surgical treatment group it was 23.8%, p = 0.237. Among patients with more than 2 years of disease experience, mortality was 45% in the main group, 88% in the comparison group, p = 0.070. In the absence of drug resistance, mortality in the main group was 4%, that in the comparison group – 14.2%, p = 0.283. Mortality in individuals with normal body weight was lower in the group of patients who underwent thoracoplasty than in the comparison group: 17.6% vs. 33.3% (p = 0.202). Among those who did not achieve sputum negative reaction, mortality was lower, and passing to the 3rd group of dispensary care was more common in the surgical treatment group – 41.7% vs. 71.4% (p = 0.077) and 33.3% vs. 21.4% (p = 0.426). Among patients with drug resistance or low body weight or unachieved sputum negative reaction, mortality rates were comparable in both groups. Thus, thoracoplasty, in comparison with conservative therapy, makes it possible to improve treatment results in patients regardless of the length of the disease in groups with Mycobacterium tuberculosis sensitive process, with normal body weight, with preservation of elimination of bacilli. The effectiveness of thoracoplasty decreases in patients with an increase in the disease duration.

Treatment of odontogenic phlegmon of the maxillofacial region remains an urgent problem of surgical dentistry due to the steady increase in their frequency, tendency to generalize the process and adverse effects. In this regard, there is a constant search for ways to improve the effectiveness of treatment of patients with odontogenic phlegmons of maxillofacial region. New technologies of drug treatment of this pathology are developed and put into practice. In recent years the attention of researchers in various conditions accompanied by the development of oxidative stress began to attract drugs that have antioxidant action, as it became known that the excess of reactive oxygen species in the regenerating wounds in the hearth of purulent inflammation affects the course of the course, wound healing. Interest in the treatment of various pathological conditions of the body is caused by the domestic antioxidant multifunctional enzyme "Bioceruline" which is composed of copper. In this regard, the purpose of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of "Biocerulin" in the complex treatment of patients with odontogenic phlegmon of maxillofacial region. The object of the clinical study was 45 patients with odontogenic phlegmons of the maxillofacial region from 18 to 55 years old, who were treated in the maxillofacial department of PU "Poltava M.V. Sklifosovskyi regional clinical hospital PRC». All patients were without somatic pathology in compensated clinical condition. Immediately after hospitalization, patients underwent an emergency opening of purulent lesion, revision and adequate drainage of the affected cellular spaces, removal of the "causal" tooth. The extent of surgery and the choice of optimal access depended on the location and prevalence of phlegmon. Depending on the treatment, patients were divided into comparison groups (22 patients) and the main group (23 patients). The traditional therapy was used in the comparison group. "Biocerulin"was prescribed for the patients of the main group in addition to the traditional therapy. Analysis of obtained data in the treatment of patients with phlegmon revealed that both groups of patients had clear differences in the clinical course of purulent-inflammatory process. On the 2nd day after the opening of the phlegmon theweakness, headache, and sleep disorders were noted in the most of the patients of the comparison group who received traditional therapy. Pain with varying degrees of intensity was present in all patients. Improvement of the general condition of patients of this group was noted not earlier than 3-5 days after surgery. The improvement of the general condition and reduction of pain, normalization or decrease in body temperature, the beginning of restoration of function of the jaw apparatuswere notedin patients of the main group on the background of the introduction of "Bioceruline" already on the 2-3rd day after surgery. Thus, on the basis of the conducted researches it is possible to conclude that the basic (traditional) conservative therapeutic measures used for patients of the comparison group are not effective enough for the relief of the local and general inflammatory process, which caused the prolonged nature of organ-specific and functional rehabilitation of patients as a whole. The use of "Bioceruline" in complex therapy of patients with odontogenicphlegmons of the maxillofacial regionprovides rapid and intensive recovery of the general condition of patients and accelerates reparative processes in the wound and shortens the treatment time via 1.4 bed-days.

The article describes a clinical case of treatment of multiple drug resistant tuberculosis in the patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus who had received a kidney transplant (from his mother) 3 years before tuberculosis was diagnosed due to diabetic nephroangiosclerosis and the development of end-stage chronic renal disease. Pulmonary tuberculosis developed while taking immunosuppressive drugs, it manifested by an infiltrate with destruction of lung tissue in the upper lobe of the left lung, infiltrative tuberculosis of the left upper lobe and segmental bronchi, bacterial excretion confirmed by microscopy and culture. The strain of tuberculosis was resistant to 5 drugs including isoniazid and rifampicin. The chemotherapy regimen included pyrazinamide, capreomycin, levofloxacin, ethionamide, cycloserine, and paraaminosalicylic acid. Glomerular filtration rate was monitored every month. The full course of anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy (556 doses) was effectively completed, glomerular filtration by that time was 77.0 ml/min. Stable sputum conversion was achieved (confirmed by sputum culture), the cavity was healed, and some areas of pneumosclerosis and single solid foci persisted.

Summary. High prevalence, unfavorable effects of periodontal infection centers on the oral cavity condition determine the relevance of the problem of the use of phytopreparations in the treatment of generalized periodontitis.The aim of the study – to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the drug Resverazin in the complex treatment of generalized periodontitis.Materials and Methods. The study was attended by 43 patients, patients with chronic generalized periodontitis of primary and stage I. The main group was 25 people, the comparison group was 18. To assess the hygienic state of the cavity, the indices Green-Wermillion, ONI-S, Silness-Loe, Stallard were used. The assessment of the periodontal condition was conducted according to clinical signs; the severity of gingivitis was determined by the PMA index, the state is clear – according to the index of bleeding Muhlleman, the stages of destructive changes in the periodontium – according to the periodontal index (PI). For the treatment of periodontitis in both groups, traditional therapy was used. The patients in the main group were prescribed Resverazin for 1 capsule 2 times a day after eating. The course of treatment was 2 months.Results and Discussion. In an objective survey conducted before treatment, the average value of the index of hygiene in the main group was (1.64±0.31), in the comparison group – (1.59±0.23) points. The PMA index in the main group was (63.12±1.17), in the comparison group – (62.39±1.13) points. The ONI-S, Silness-Loe and Stallard indexes in the patients in the main group were (2.36±0.13), (1.54±0.08), (1.200±0.062) points, in the comparison group – (2.30±0.12), (1.51±0.06) and (0.890±0.032) points, respectively. The values of PI and the Muhlleman index in the groups were (1.22±0.09) and (2.21±0.13) and (1.24±0.13) and (2.18±0.11) points, respectively. During the treatment, a positive dynamics of the studied parameters was observed. The values of the PMA index (%) and PI were (10.23±1.11) and (0.63±0.11) in the main group and (11.22±1.19) and (0.84±0.12) in the comparison group.Conclusions. The obtained results confirm the high clinical efficiency of the natural complex Resverazin, the inclusion of which in the scheme of basic therapy of generalized periodontitis contributes to positive dynamics and stable changes in the tissues of periodontal disease.

Relevance. The relevance of the study is dictated by the high prevalence of periodontal disease among young people and by the need to search for new approaches to periodontitis treatment in order to increase the effectiveness of treatment at early stages of pathological process. Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of complex treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis (CGP) of mild severity using a removable splinting construction made according to the author's technique. Materials and methods. At the orthopedic stage of the complex treatment of mild CGP, splinting constructions were used for 47 young patients: in the main group (n = 16) the authors treatment and preventive splint, in the first comparison group (n = 15) a removable metal splint, in the second comparison group (n = 16) a fixed adhesive fiber splint. Periodontal hemodynamics was assessed using ultrasound Doppler analysis 1, 6 and 12 months after the therapeutic measures and tooth immobilization. To identify the possible negative impact of the treatment on the quality of life (QOL) in patients with splint constructions, we used the OHIP-14-Ru questionnaire; the follow-up period was 1.3, 6, and 12 months. Results. Dental immobilization contributed to the improvement of blood flow in the periodontal tissues in the short and long term follow-up, so after 12 months: Vam in the main group increased by 39,8 % and amounted to 0,397 0,004 cm / s, in patients of the comparison groups Vam was 0,329 0,006 cm / s and 0,335 0,003 cm / s, respectively, that is 15,4 % and 18,4 % higher compared with the figures before treatment. The quality of life index for patients using splinting constructions made according to the author's technique, by the OHIP-14-Ru questionnaire was assessed as good 1 year after (3.46 0.59). Conclusions. The use of the proposed original orthopedic design in a complex plan for mild periodontitis treatment helps to improve regional blood circulation and stabilize the pathological process.

Summary. The problem of treatment of acute purulent paraproctitis is one of the most urgent problems of modern coloproctology. Study objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of the use of Dalmaxin rectal suppositories in the complex treatment of acute paraproctitis. Materials and methods. The effectiveness of use of Dalmaxin rectal suppositories was conducted in 62 patients with acute subcutaneous paraproctitis, assigned to two groups, a main group of 30 patients and a comparison group of 32 patients. All patients underwent radical surgery. Antimicrobial, detoxification and symptomatic therapy was prescribed postoperatively. Local treatment of purulent wounds was carried out using hydrophilic ointments depending on the phase of the wound process; the patients of the main group were additionally administered Dalmaxin rectal suppositories twice a day. The effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated by the severity of the swelling, the nature of the discharge from the wound, the level of microbial contamination, the wound cleansing period, the appearance of granulation tissue and epithelialization, and by cytological examination. Furthermore, general laboratory and biochemical studies were performed. Endogenous intoxication (EI) and its changes in the course of treatment were evaluated by the level of average-mass molecules, leukocyte intoxication index and hematological intoxication index. Statistical processing and comparison of the obtained data was performed using the STATISTICA® 5.5 integrated system (STATSOFT® Inc., USA), license A XX 910A374605FA. Results. The study showed that in patients with acute paraproctitis, the severity of the postoperative period is due to the severe intoxication and the development of a systemic inflammatory response syndrome that were observed in patients at the time of hospitalization. After surgical intervention, clinical and laboratory parameters did not normalize in the first five days of the postoperative period, and only starting from the fifth day, there was a gradual decrease in the level of EI and laboratory indicators, reaching the normal ones only at the time of discharge from the hospital. EI complicates the course of the postoperative period, primarily by weakening the level of humoral immunity and inhibiting the processes of reparative regeneration. When comparing the results of treatment of acute paraproctitis in patients using Dalmaxin rectal suppositories with traditional methods. The hospitalization period of the patients of the main group was also shorter than in the comparison group, and was (9.2 ± 0.5) and (11.9 ± 0.9) bed days, respectively. Conclusions. A comparative evaluation of the use of Dalmaxin in the complex treatment of acute purulent paraproctitis showed that the drug, due to its properties, significantly improves the course of the postoperative period, as evidenced by faster reduction of endogenous intoxication, reduction of microbial contamination and wound cleansing from necrotic tissues, faster granulation and epithelialization, as well as wound healing, thus helping to reduce the time of hospitalization.

Aim. To assess the effect of dynamic electroneurostimulation in treatment of community-acquired pneumonia in preschool children. Methods. The main group consisted of 45 preschool children with community-acquired pneumonia, in whom 7-day treatment course of dynamic electroneurostimulation was included as the component of the complex treatment. The control group included 55 children in whom conventional tactics was applied. Results. General intoxication syndrome was resolved at 3.2±1.1 day in children of the main group compared to 7.7±1.4 day in the control group. The use of dynamic electroneurostimulation reduced the duration of respiratory distress by more than 1.5 times (6.8±1.3 day), regression of physical lung changes was observed at 10.3±1.4 on average, compared to the end of the second week at the control group. Resolving of the clinical symptoms in children of the main group was accompanied by statistically significant (p 0.05) reduction of basic parameters of systemic inflammation (increased white blood cells count, high neutrophil count, left shift) by 7th day of treatment. The level of C-reactive protein reduced by 7 times in children of the main group, compared to 2.3 times in comparison group (p 0.05). Chest X-ray on the 7th day showed complete resolving of inflammatory changes in 20 (44.4%) patients of the main group, while no such cases were observed in control group (p 0.001). At the same time, no positive change of X-ray picture was revealed in 25 (45.5%) children of the control group, while there were no such cases in the main group (p 0.001). On the 11th day of treatment complete resolving of inflammatory changes was found in 43 (95.6%) children of the main group, compared to 34 (61.8%) children of the control group (p 0.05). Conclusion. Including of dynamic electroneurostimulation in complex treatment of community-acquired pneumonia in children reduces the recovery time, hospital stay and treatment cost.

Objective of the study. To evaluate the effectiveness of systemic interferon alpha‑2b in the complex therapy of lichen scleroatrophic of the penis.Material and methods. The study involved 26 male patients with a verified diagnosis: lichen scleroatrophic of the penis. The main group was 19 people, the comparison group was 7 men. The duration of the disease in men was from 9 to 12 months. To estimate the area of lesion as well as to estimate their dynamic changes were developed: Scleroatrophic Lichen Area Index (LS-S in men) and Scleroatrophic Lichen Activity Index (LS-A). Treatment in the main group: topical corticosteroid momentasone cream two times a day for 21 days, as well as interferon alpha‑2b suppositories in a dose of 3 million ME two times a day, daily for 10 days, then three times a week for 2 months with subsequent external application of 1–2 times a day for 2 months of ointment with interferon alpha‑2b. In patients with balanopostitis the cream was used in combination with momentazone, economazole, gentamycin and dexpanthenol. Patients from the comparison group received momentazone cream for 21 days, and in case of recurrence of symptoms – the prescription of topical calcineurin inhibitors. Patients of both groups received vitamin E of 200 mg per day for 2 months. The end point of observation for patients of both groups was 3 months after the end of therapy.Results. Against the background of treatment, improvement was achieved in all patients in the main group within 21 days. Subsequent cancellation of topical corticosteroid and continuation of therapy with suppositories and ointment of the interferon alpha‑2b allowed to maintain positive dynamics of the skin process during the whole period of observation. The control group also achieved a positive effect from therapy with topical corticosteroids (cream with momentazone), but after its cancellation, in the period from 4 to 6 weeks, symptoms were recurrent, which required the continuation of therapy with topical calcinerin inhibitors – tacrolimus ointment 0.1% 1–2 times a day for 4 weeks. The use of the LS-A Index showed that the indices of skin manifestations were the fastest to regress than those of the LS-S index assessing the area of lesion.Conclusions. 1. The use of system therapy with interferon alpha‑2b, along with topical GCSs, in the complex treatment can reduce the severity of clinical manifestations of GSAL without resorting to prolonged use of topical GCSs. 2. The use of interferon alpha‑2b in the complex treatment of the genital lichen sclerosus has demonstrated its effectiveness in a small group of patients. 3. Application of the developed Lesion Area Index and Lichen Sclerosus Activity Index in men allow to objectively assess the effectiveness of treatment. 4. Lichen sclerosus assessment indices allow to develop an individual plan of rehabilitation measures. 5. It is expedient to continue studies on pathogenetic mechanisms of influence of alpha‑2b interferon in genital lichen sclerosus.
