scholarly journals Photodynamic therapy in the treatment of stomach cancer

The analysis of the results of treatment of 10 patients with gastric cancer with high surgical risk, who in the treatment complex used photodynamic therapy with photosensitizer Photolon and further irradiation with a semiconductor laser with a wavelength of λ = 0.67 μm cross-irradiation fields introduced through the biopsy channel of the endoscope. Endoscopic PDT can be used at the stage of combined treatment in combination with drug therapy and surgical interventions and is an effective means of preventing the development of esopha- geal-small intestinal anastomosis failures in the early postoperative period. Endoscopic PDT can also be used in the postoperative period as a prophylaxis of early postoperative complications in cases of detection of tumor cells in the margins of resection.

The study and analysis of the treatment outcomes were carried out in 69 patients aged from 40 to 85 years (mean age 53.0±1.0) who had tumours of the body or cardiac part of the stomach T3-4 (according to the UICC classification (ninth edition, 2014)). The distribution of patients according to the localization of tumour lesions in the stomach was as follows: 43 (62.3%) cases found in the body region and 22 (31.9%) found in the proximal section (of which 14 (20 3%) were in the cardia (Type III according to Siewert J.R.), 8 (11.6%) patients had the transition to the abdominal oesophagus (type II according to Siewert JR), 4 (5.8%) patients had the tumour located in the stump of the resected organ. Histologically, the vast majority of neoplasms were represented by adenocarcinoma (94.8%). All other types of tumours made up for 5.2%. The patients received photodynamic therapy with the Photolon photosensitizer and subsequent irradiation with a laser with a wavelength λ = 0.67 μm crossed irradiation fields, which was introduced through the biopsy channel of the endoscope. The light dose and the number of irradiation sessions were determined depending on the degree of damage to the oesophagus and stomach (from 4 to 7 sessions). The light dose of the session was up to 200 J. The power density of the laser radiation is 25 mW/cm2. Endoscopic photodynamic therapy can be used at the stage of combined treatment in combination with chemotherapy and surgery and is an effective means of preventing the failure of the oesophageal-small intestinal anastomosis in the early postoperative period. Due to photodynamic therapy in the preoperative period, the number of complications in the early postoperative period has significantly decreased. The leakage of the oesophageal-intestinal anastomosis developed in 4 cases, which make up 5.8%.

Aim. To evaluate the effi cacy of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in patients with a different functional status (FS) after the elimination of acute colonic obstruction (ACO).Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of 210 medical records of patients who had undergone emergency surgical interventions aimed at ACO elimination was carried out. Based on the value of the direct current potential (DCP), the patients were divided into three groups: 1st (n = 96) with the DCP value from –30 mV and below — FS subcompensation; 2nd (n = 60) with average negative DCP values from –15 to –29.9 mV — FS compensation; 3rd (n = 54) with low negative and positive DCP values from –14.9 mV and higher — FS decompensation. The correlation between patients’ FS and the incidence of postoperative complications was studied, and independent predictors of fatal outcomes were identifi ed. Subsequently, a quantitative analysis of complications and mortality was carried out in each group depending on the use of HBO sessions in the postoperative period, followed by an assessment of their effi cacy.Results. According to the number of perioperative complications and mortality, risk groups in terms of the unfavourable course of the postoperative period were identifi ed: patients with high negative DCP values, for whom the arterial hypotension and acute kidney injury (AKI) could serve as the independent predictors of death; and patients with low negative and positive DCP values, for whom the statistically signifi cant predictors of mortality were shown to be the DCP level, hypotension, AKI and pneumonia. HBO sessions in the postoperative period allow the number of complications in the general population to be reduced: pneumonia by 7%, delirium by 8.8%, AKI by 6.3%, intestinal dysfunction for more than 3 days by 7.3%. In addition, HBO contributed to a 2.9% decrease in suppurative diseases. The analysis of the data on the HBO application in the general population and FS information showed HBO to have a positive effect on the general somatic status of ACO patients. In addition, HBO treatment is shown to decrease the incidence of complications in the early postoperative period. The effi cacy of HBO is found to be higher in the cohort of the most severe patients with decompensated FS, where such complications as delirium, pneumonia and gastrointestinal paresis were decreased by 22.2%, 13% and 18.5%, respectively. As a result, in this group of patients, a signifi cant decrease of 11.1% in 30-day mortality was achieved.Conclusion. The postoperative period depends on the actual FS. The conducted analysis of HBO therapy has convincingly confi rmed its effi cacy in the combined treatment of patients after the elimination of ACO.

Background. Unsatisfactory results of treatment, such as delayed consolidation and non-fusion of fractures, the formation of false joints and limb bone defects, have no tendency to decrease. We can assume that one of the leading factors of complications in traumatology is a violation of microcirculation in the affected segment of the limb.Aims. To identify patterns of changes in the parameters of the microcirculatory bed of the damaged segment of the lower limb when fixing bone fragments with a plate with limited contact in the early period after surgery.Materials and methods. In 25 patients, we studied four parameters of microcirculation of the lower limb segment with application of laser Doppler flowmetry. The control group consisted of 25 healthy volunteers, comparable in age and sex with the study group.Results. We found that in the early postoperative period (from the first to the 10th day after the surgery) in patients with diaphyseal fractures of the tibia operated with metal plate with limited contact there was an increase in microcirculation by 75.69 %, an increase in the proportion of the nutritive component of microcirculation compared to the shunt fraction by 24.64 %, as well as an increase in more than one ratio of the amplitude of the heart and respiratory range. All of that indicates a local circulatory disorder in the nutritive arterial hyperemia. We note that the increase in the amplitude of the respiratory component by 17.22 % and the equality of the amplitude of the cardiac range compared with the control group indicate violations of local blood circulation by the type of venous stagnation.Conclusion. On the basis of the results obtained, we note that patients with diaphyseal fractures of the shin bones treated with metal osteosynthesis with a plate with limited contact in the early postoperative period develop a violation of local blood circulation in the stagnant-hyperemic type.

The treatment results of 172 patients with breast cancer, who underwent radical surgery on the breast, were analyzed. During the last 4 years, the implementation of combined surgical interventions — radical surgery with removal of the tumor with D2 lymphnode dissection and the simultaneous installation of a silicone implant (in 17 patients — 17.4%) takes attention. In most cases, the early postoperative period proceeded safely. During the early postoperative period, complications occurred in 30 (17.4%) patients: long postoperative lymphorrhea - 25 (14.5%) cases, which in 6 (3.6%) patients leaded to the development of seroma, and in two (1.2 %) of them - suppuration of the postoperative wound. Diastasis of wound edges was noted in 4 (2.3%) patients. In 1 (0.6%) case, bleeding was observed on the first day after surgery. Postoperative mortality rate was 0%. 10 (5.8%) patients were admitted for the surgery during the period from 1 to 3 years after the primary radical surgery due to a local recurrence of breast cancer. Despite the arsenal of modern diagnostic, anesthetic and surgical support, the issue of postoperative complications prevention and the disease recurrence prevention of the patients with breast cancer remains relevant.

Introduction: The gas composition and acid-base balance of blood play a main role in assessing the patient in critical condition. Estimating the dynamics of acid-base balance, one can judge the severity of pathology and the adequacy of therapeutic measures. The aim: to determine the effect of hemoperfusion on the gas composition and acid-base balance of blood in children with severe forms of peritonitis. Material and methods: The study was performed on the basis of a prospective analysis of acid-base balance of blood and blood gas composition of 30 patients in the early postoperative period with severe forms of peritonitis, who were treated in the Department of anesthesiology and intensive care of the Grodno regional children’s clinical hospital. This study was conducted in accordance with the standards of bioethics, was approved by the ethical Committee of the institution and complies with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. Results and conclusions: This article describes the methodology of hemoperfusion in children, analyzed the dynamics of changes in the basic parameters of acid-base balance and blood gas composition in the early postoperative period with severe forms of peritonitis during hemoperfusion. The positive dynamics of laboratory data obtained as a result of the study proves the high effectiveness of the use of antiproteinase biospecific hemosorbent. The use of biospecific hemoperfusion as an additional method in the complex therapy of peritonitis gives a real opportunity to improve the results of treatment of this category of patients.

Aim. To evaluate the incidence of complications of the developed scheme of management of patients in the perioperative period after radical cystectomy with small intestinal urinary derivation. Methods. The study included 105 (100%) patients treated at the department of urologic oncology of the National center of oncology of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Azerbaijan during the period from 2008 to 2015. Modified Hautman Ileocystoplasty was performed in 87 (82.9%) patients, urine derivation by Bricker’s method - in 18 (17.1%) patients. Tactics for patient management corresponded to the proposed scheme of patient preparation and algorithm for the management. The main criteria for evaluation of the efficacy of the proposed scheme were the incidence and nature of the most common complications in the early postoperative period (30 days) according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Results. 131 complications occurred in 71 (67.6%) patients within 30 days after the operation, out of them one complication in 32 (30.5%) patients, two in 23 (22%), three complications in 11 (10.5%), four and more - in 5 (4.8%) patients. The most common complication in the early postoperative period was gastrointestinal atony - 33.4% (n=35). Conclusion. Combined anesthesia and extraperitoneal bladder removal provide significant reduction of the incidence of postoperative gastrointestinal atony; for conclusive evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed complex controlled studies are necessary.

BACKGROUND: Eversion carotid endarterectomy is one of the most frequently used methods of carotid endarterectomy. This is primarily due to the relative ease of surgical techniques, reduction in the risk of hemodynamic disorders in the reconstruction zone and the absence of the need to use synthetic material. The main disadvantage of eversion carotid endarterectomy is poor visualization of the distal edge of the atherosclerotic plaque and the lack of control of the unfixed edge of intima in common atherosclerotic lesion of the internal carotid artery. The use of a modified technique of eversion carotid endarterectomy avoids these disadvantages and preserves its advantages. AIM: to analyze the results of the use of modified eversion carotid endarterectomy in patients with extended disease to the internal carotid artery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study is based on the analysis of the results of treatment of patients with chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency due to extended atherosclerotic disease of the internal carotid artery, in whom eversion carotid endarterectomy was performed using a modified technique in the conditions of the Department of Vascular Surgery in Vinogradov City Hospital. The presence of an atherosclerotic plaque extending over a distance of more than 2.5 cm from the bifurcation was considered a common damage to the internal carotid artery. The assessment of intraoperative parameters, early postoperative period, as well as treatment results after 3, 6 and 12 months from the moment of surgery was carried out. RESULTS: The results of treatment of 60 patients in the early postoperative and long-term periods were analyzed. The average operation time was 71.37 ± 8.87 minutes. The average time for clamping the ICA was 18.35 ± 3.9 minutes. Transient ischemic attack in the early postoperative period occurred in 1 (1.7%) patient. Restenosis of the internal carotid artery (≥40%) on the side of the performed reconstruction developed in 3 (5.2%) patients. CONCLUSION: The risk of development of neurological disorders in the early postoperative period, as well as of restenosis of the area of surgical intervention in the long-term period when using the modified technique of eversion carotid endarterectomy, correspond to the data of modern world literature.
