Introduction. Growth factors are mediators regulating the key processes of tissue regeneration, including cell proliferation and differentiation, extracellular matrix synthesis, chemotaxis and angiogenesis. In addition to the role they play in haemostasis and inflammatory processes, thrombocytes are of major importance in the reparation of mineralized and soft tissues. Application of fibrin rich blocks with concentrated growth factors is one of the latest approaches to guided bone regeneration and augmentation of lost bony structures of the alveolar ridge. Case report. This paper presents a case of a female patient who underwent reconstruction of the defect of residual alveolar ridge of the upper jaw by applying fibrin rich blocks with concentrated growth factors and subsequent placement of two titanium endosteal implants five months after wound healing. Conclusion. The loss of a single tooth or several teeth sometimes entails the augmentation of lost bony structures in order to provide optimal conditions for dental implant placement and subsequent prosthetic rehabilitation. A range of contemporary surgical procedures and a variety of dental materials for reconstruction of bony defects of the upper and lower jaws are available nowadays. The method described in this paper, i.e. the application of concentrated growth factors is one of the latest approaches which poses no risk of transmissible and allergic diseases and is at the same time cost effective.

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the clinical effects of concentrated growth factors (CGFs) combined with bone substitutes for alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) in the maxillary molar area. Methods Thirty-six patients who underwent extraction of the upper molars were recruited and randomly divided into three groups: 1. Grafted with CGFs combined with deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) and covered with CGFs membrane (CGFs/DBBM group), 2. Grafted with DBBM alone and covered with collagen membrane (DBBM group), 3. Control group spontaneous healing. The area of the alveolar bone in center (C-), mesial (M-) and distal (D-) section was compared with preoperative in radiography. Bone cores were obtained for histopathology observation and comparison. Results In C-, M- and D-section, the alveolar ridge area in all three groups was significantly reduced at 8 months postoperatively compared to the baseline (P < 0.05). The alveolar ridge area declines in the CGFs/DBBM group (C-12.75 ± 2.22 mm2, M-14.69 ± 2.82 mm2, D-16.95 ± 4.17 mm2) and DBBM group (C-14.08 ± 2.51 mm2, M-15.42 ± 3.47 mm2, D-16.09 ± 3.97 mm2) were non-significant differences. They were significantly less than the decline in the control group (C-45.04 ± 8.38 mm2 M-31.98 ± 8.34 mm2, D-31.85 ± 8.52 mm2) (P < 0.05). The percentage of newly formed bone in the CGFs/DBBM group (41.99 ± 12.99%) was significantly greater than that in DBBM group (30.68 ± 10.95%) (P < 0.05). The percentage of residual materials in the CGFs/DBBM group (16.19 ± 6.63%) was significantly less than that in the DBBM group (28.35 ± 11.70%) (P < 0.05). Conclusion Combined application of CGFs and DBBM effectively reduced the resorption of alveolar ridge and resulted in more newly formed bone than the use of DBBM with collagen membranes.

Introduction. Coagulation and blood clot formation in bone defects is sometimes followed by retraction of a blood clot and serum extrusion, thus producing peripheral serum-filled spaces between bony wall and coagulum. This can result in a higher incidence of postoperative complications. Stabilization of blood coagulum, which enables successful primary healing, may be accomplished by autotransplantation, allotransplantation, xenotransplantation, or application of autologous platelet concentrate and concentrated growth factors (CGF). Case report. Two patients with large cystic lesions in the upper and lower jaw were presented. In both patients postoperative bony defects were filled with autologous fibrin rich blocks containing CGF. Postoperative course passed uneventfully. Conclusion. Application of fibrin rich blocks containing CGF is one of the possible methods for reconstruction of bone defects. CGF can be applied alone or mixed with a bone graft. The method is relatively simple, without risk of transmissible and allergic diseases and economically feasible.

The main factor in the treatment of suppurative and inflammatory processes is the timely optimization of treatment measures taking into account the nature of the microflora and its susceptibility to antimicrobial drugs. The purpose of the study is to monitor the spectrum of microorganisms – pathogens of purulent-inflammatory processes of soft tissues in surgical patients; study of the sensitivity of isolated strains to antibiotics. The material was collected in accordance with aseptic rules. The identification of a pure culture of bacteria was carried out according to morphological, culture, biochemical properties, and the presence of virulence enzymes. Sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics was determined by the standard disks method (by Kirby-Bauer’s). 255 patients with purulent-inflammatory processes of soft tissues were examined for the period from 2014 to 2017. 229 strains of isolated bacteria were included to Escherichia coli, Citrobacer freundii, Enterobacter cloacae, E.aerogenes, Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus aureus, S.epidermidis, Streptococcus pyogenes, S.viridians, S.agalactiae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The main cause of purulent-inflammatory processes of soft tissues is Staphylococci (67,2%). Compared to previous studies, the number of P.aeruginosa isolated cultures increased (7.9%). In monoculture and in association with other microorganisms, E. coli (9.6% of cases), E.cloacae et aerogenes (3.9% of cases), P.vulgaris (3.9% of cases), C.freundi (2.5% of cases), S.agalactiae, S.pyogenes, S.viridans (3.5%). The number of associated sows reaches 12%. Clinical strains of microorganisms remain most sensitive to fluoroquinolones, cephalosporins, and also retains high sensitivity to gentamicin, lincomycin, rifampicin, which is important for empirical antibiotic therapy. To increase the effectiveness of antibacterial therapy, strict adherence to the mode of appointment of antibiotics, justification of indications, a combination of antibiotics of different spectrum of action, mandatory correction after determining the sensitivity of the pathogen.

Összefoglaló. Az allergiás betegségekben szenvedő emberek száma világszerte, köztük Magyarországon is növekszik. Az egészségügyi ellátórendszerek azon dolgoznak, hogy minél hatékonyabban tudják felhasználni a rendelkezésre álló forrásokat. Az Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) szervezet célja az allergiás náthában szenvedő betegek ellátásának javítása, szakmai ajánlások készítése, aktualizálása. Ennek egyik módja integrált betegellátási utak kidolgozása. Célunk ezek hazai elérhetővé tétele, az ajánlások széles körű elterjesztése az Európai Unió (EU) többi tagállamához hasonlóan Magyarországon is. Az ARIA más nemzetközi innovatív szervezetek bevonásával olyan integrált betegellátási utakat fejlesztett ki, amelyek allergiás nátha, esetleg társbetegsége, az asztma esetén támogatják a kezelést. Ezeket újgenerációs irányelvek kidolgozása útján alkották, amelyekhez felhasználták a mobiltechnológiából és pollenkamra-vizsgálatokból származó valós evidenciákat is. A gyógyszeres terápia optimalizálásához a vizuális analóg skálán alapuló, úgynevezett Mobil Légúti Figyelő Hálózat algoritmusát digitalizálták, és valós evidenciák felhasználásával tovább finomították. Allergén immunterápiára az ARIA a világon elsőként dolgozott ki integrált betegellátási utakat 2019-ben. A kezelési irányelvekhez való adherenciaszint alacsony, a betegek a tüneteik erőssége alapján módosítják a kezelést. A flutikazon-propionát–azelasztin kombináció hatása erősebb az intranasalis kortikoszteroidokénál, míg az utóbbi hatásosabb az oralis H1-antihisztaminoknál. A mobiltelefonokban tárolt elektronikus napló vagy más ’mobile health’ (mHealth) eszközök használata segíti a betegek kiválasztását allergén immunterápiára. Az ARIA által javasolt algoritmus megfelelőnek mutatkozott az allergiás rhinitis kezelésére, ezért ezek az irányelvek bekerülnek integrált betegellátási utakba, és részét fogják képezni az EU Egészségügyi és Élelmiszer-biztonsági Főigazgatósága digitalizált, személyközpontú gondozási anyagainak. Az allergén immunterápia hatékony az inhalatív allergének által okozott allergiás betegségekben, alkalmazását azonban korlátozni kell gondosan válogatott betegekre. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(49): 2059–2071. Summary. The number of allergic patients is increasing all over the world, also in Hungary. Delivering effective and cost-effective health care is essential for all health care systems. ARIA (Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma) aims to improve the care of patients who suffer from allergic rhinitis by setting up guidelines and updating them. Development of ICPs (integrated care pathways) can play an essential role in attaining this goal. Our aim is to make ICP-s developed by ARIA available also in Hungary, as is already the case in other countries of the European Union (EU). Together with other international initiatives, ARIA has worked out digitally-enabled ICPs to support care in allergic rhinitis and comorbid asthma. ICPs are based on new-generation guidelines using RWE (real-world evidence) from chamber studies and mobile technology. The MASK (Mobile Airways Sentinel NetworK) algorithm – based on visual analogue scale – was digitalized to support pharmacotherapy, and was refined by using RWE. ARIA was the first to develop ICPs for allergen immunotherapy (AIT) in 2019. Based on MASK data, patients did not follow guidelines and their adherence to treatment was poor. Patients would modify their treatments, depending on the disease control. The effect of fluticasone propionate–azelastine combination is superior to intranasal corticosteroids which are superior to oral H1-antihistamines. Electronic diaries obtained from cell phones and other ’mobile health’ (mHealth) devices help select patients for AIT. The ARIA algorithm for AR was found appropriate and no change is necessary. These guidelines will inform ICPs and will be included in the DG Santé digitally-enabled, person-centred care system. AIT is an effective treatment for allergic diseases caused by inhaled allergens. Its use should, however, be restricted to carefully selected patients. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(49): 2059–2071.

Evaluation o f cytotoxicity is a first step in assessment of dental materials biocompatibility. Necessity for unique criteria in researches resulted in international standard methodology (ISO). The aim of this study was to assess the cytotoxicity of four restorative materials (three glas ionomer cements and one composite material) and to define adventages and disadventages of common ISO methodology for evaluation of this aspect of dental materials biocompatibility. Research was designed according to ISO/TC 106/1995 and ISO/ 10993-5/1994 methodology. Materials used in this investigation were Fuji IILC (GC), Vitiemer (3M), Ionosit fill (DMG-Hamburg), Luxat (DMG-Hamburg). Evaluation of cytotoxicity was carried out on standardized Human Diploid Cell Lung WI-38. Obtained results showed expressive cytotoxic effect of all investigated materials without statisticaly significant difference. Estimation of material biocompatibility and assessment of obtained results can be made only after establishment of correlation with test results. Common ISO methodology is simple for conductance and reproduction, and use of cell cultures in researches is painless, cost effective and without moral or ethical dilemma.
