Radiotherapy is used to treat approximately 80% of patients with cancer of the head and neck. Despite enormous advances in radiotherapy planning and delivery, a significant number of pa-tients will experience radiation-associated toxicities. Many effective management options are available for acute radiotherapy-associated toxicities, but treatment options are much more lim-ited and of variable benefit among patients who develop late sequelae after radiotherapy. The present work is based on observations of 586 patients with oral and oropharynx cancer, for which interstitial neutron therapy was carried out in an independent version or in combination with re-mote radiation therapy. Radiation injuries occurred in 130 (22.2%) patients, in 92 (15.7%) they appeared in the form of radiation ulcers and in 38 (6.4%) – osteoradionecrosis of the lower jaw. The clinical picture and the course of radiation injuries after interstitial neutron therapy with sources of 252Cf did not differ significantly from radiation complications after photon irradiation.

Purpose: To investigate the effectiveness of autologous cells of stromal vascular fraction of adipose tissue in severe local radiation skin injuries after the exposure of rats to X-rays. Material and methods: Experiments were performed on Wistar rats, weighing 200–230 g. Rats were exposed locally in iliolumbar region using X-ray machine LNC-268 (RAP 100-10) at a dose of 110 Gy (30 kV tube voltage, current 6.1 mA, thick Al filter 0.1 mm), dose rate: 17.34 Gy/min. Area of the irradiation field was 8.2–8.5 cm2. Transplantation of autologous cells of stromal vascular fraction (SVFC) of adipose tissue was carried out on 21st or 35th days after irradiation. SVFC isolation was performed by means of enzymatic treatment of adipose tissue. SVFC suspension was administered subcutaneously at a dose of 1×106 cells per injection around the radiation ulcers.The severity of radiation damage to the skin and the effects of cellular therapy were evaluated in the dynamics of clinical manifestations, with the help of plane geometry and pathomorphometry. Results: It was found that by the 17–25th day after irradiation radiation ulcers were formedon rat skin. In the control group of animalsulcers persisted throughout the observation period of more than 3 months. The area of ulcers was 1,87 ± 0,35 cm2 and 1.52 ± 0.24 cm2 at 83th and 90th days after irradiation, respectively. In animals of the experimental group, with autologous stromal vascular fraction of adipose tissue, was significant decrease in ulceration the area in comparison to control animals. In 80 % of the rats treated with SVFC on 21st day after exposure, to the 90th day after irradiation complete healing of ulcers occurred with the formation of atrophic scar at the site of radiation injuries. These clinical observations and planimetric were correlated with the results of histomorphometry. Conclusion: Transplantation autologous SVFC of adipose tissue contributes to accelerate the healing of radiation ulcers after local x-ray exposure in the experiment, indicating that the prospects of using adipose tissue cell products for the treatment of severe local radiation injuries.

Purpose: Study of the effect of paracrine factors, produced by MMSC of bone marrow during the cultivation, on the severity of local radiation injuries in the conditions of application in the early periods after irradiation. Material and methods: Experiments were performed on rats of the breed Wistar weighing 280 g. Rats were exposed locally in iliolumbar region of the back using X-ray machine LNC-268 (RAP 100-10) at a dose of 110 Gy (30 kV tube voltage, current 6.1 mA, filter Al 0.1 mm thick), dose rate is 21.4 Gy/min. Area of the irradiation field was 8.2–8.5 cm2. The conditioned medium obtained by culturing MMSC of rats’ bone marrow was administered in dose 1.0 ml (total protein 8 mg/ml) at 1, 3, 6, 8 and 10 days after irradiation. The severity of radiation damage to the skin and the effects of therapy were evaluated in dynamics by clinical manifestations, using planimetry and histological methods. Results: It was shown that in control animals and in rats, with the introduction of the conditioned medium, the values of the skin lesion area in the period up to the 29th day after irradiation practically did not differ, gradually decreasing in control animals from 5.9 ± 0.6 cm2 to 2.2 ± 0.3 cm2 at the 15th and 29th days after irradiation, respectively. Then, in the control group, the lesion area ranged from 1.4 ± 0.6 cm2 on the 50th day to 1.9 ± 0.8 cm2 on the 71st day. In the experimental group of animals, with the introduction of factors of the conditioning medium, a decrease in the area of the lesion and a stable dynamics of healing of radiation ulcers, beginning from the 36th day, there was a gradual decrease in the area of the lesion, which reached 0.2 ± 0.1 cm2 by the 71st day after irradiation. On the 64–71th day after irradiation, the difference between the areas of skin lesion in the experimental and control groups was statistically significant, p <0.05. The histological analysis showed that the use of paracrine factors obtained from MMSC in the process of cultivation significantly reduces the severity of the inflammatory reaction and accelerates the regeneration processes. Conclusion: Thus, the introduction of conditioned medium factors obtained during the cultivation of mesenchymal stem cells of the bone marrow facilitates a more easy flow of the pathological process and the healing of radiation ulcers after local radiation damage to the skin of rats. Apparently, the favorable effect of paracrine factors introduced in the early periods after irradiation, with severe local radiation injuries, is associated with their effect on pathological processes in the inflammatory-destructive stage.

Objective: To explore the effectiveness of a combination of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and haemoglobin spray in radiation ulcer treatment. Method: We reviewed the available literature and present a case report in which radiation ulcer was treated with a combination of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and haemoglobin spray. Results: After 30 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (2.4 ATA; 90 minutes each session) and administration of haemoglobin spray, the wounds showed gradual progress towards healing and a good granulating base was achieved. The wounds were closed after two months using a small split thickness skin graft. Conclusion: A combination of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and haemoglobin spray was effective as a short course of treatment for radiation ulcers.

Objective. To determine in experiment the quality of healing of skin radiation ulcers infected with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) under the photodynamic therapy (PDT) administration and the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Materials and methods. The experiment was performed on 95 male WAG rats of 6 months of age, which were divided into three groups. Group 1 included animals in whom a skin radiation ulcers in the thigh area was simulated, followed by application of a 0.2 ml suspension of reference strain of S. aureus to its surface on the 7th day after irradiation. Group 2 included animals with S. aureus-infected skin radiation ulcers, in whom the PET was administered a day after infection contamination. Group 3 included animals with S. aureus-infected skin radiation ulcers, in whom the PDT was administered a day after infection in the morning, and the PRP was manifold injected in periwound area in the afternoon. The skin with underlying soft tissues from the area of radiation damage were the material for morphological examination. The hematoxylin and eosin, picrofuxin according to van Gizon, Mallory staining were applied to micropreparations. A morphometric study was conducted. Results. In animals with skin radiation ulcers, in whom the PDT was administered upon infection with S. aureus (group 2), compared with animals with simulated infected skin radiation ulcers without treatment (group 1), The activation (i.e. accelerating) of the healing occurred for the period from the 14th to the 52nd day of experiment due to the active processes of wound cleansing from necrotized tissues, less pronounced inflammatory changes in the lesion, and active of appearance and maturation of granulation tissue, less pronounced hemodynamic, ischemic and alternative disorders in the dermis, hypodermis, muscle tissue surrounding the wound cavity, activation of proliferative processes in epithelial layer localized in the marginal parts of the wound. Formation of pathological (hypertrophic or keloid) scar of the skin was the result of healing of skin radiation ulcer infected with S. aureus. In animals with radiation ulcers infected with S. aureus, in the case of PDT and PRP (group 3) the regenerative process was directed not only at accelerating the rate of healing, but also on restoration of original structure of the lost parts of the skin compared with only PDT administration (group 2). Acceleration of the healing of the infected skin radiation ulcer in animals of groups 2 and 3 was due to similar processes. Conclusions. Photodynamic therapy activates and accelerates the healing process of skin radiation ulcers infected with S. aureus and leads to formation of a pathological scar (hypertrophic or keloid). Healing of the infected S. aureus radiation ulcers occurs more actively upon the photodynamic therapy administration in combination with multiple periwound injections of the platelet-enriched plasma, compared with only photodynamic therapy administration, and finishes with an organotypic regeneration and almost complete skin recovery. Key words: photodynamic therapy, platelet-rich plasma, radiation skin ulcer, Staphylococcus aureus, morphology.
