Aim - determination of RFTA place in the combined treatment of bilobar liver metastatic process of colorectal cancer. Materials and methods. 176 patients with colorectal cancer with multiple (more than 4) bilobar liver metastases were included in the study after primary tumor removal. The research was held in Samara Regional Oncology Centre from 2001 to 2014. According to the treatment method patients were divided into two groups. Main group got the combined (chemotherapy + RFTA) treatment (98 patients). In control group only chemotherapy was applied to 78 patients. Results. One-, two- and three-year OS were 73.5%, 25.1%, 7.2% in the main group and 39.6%, 6.3%, 2.1% in the control group. With RFTA application we reached the 1.8% index of four-year survival in the main group, while three-year survival in the control group was only 2.1%. The OS median reached 18 months in the main group and 11 months in the control group, OS curves in two comparing groups were significantly different( log-rank test 3.77, р=0,000). Conclusion. Combination of RFTA with chemotherapy as the treatment of bilobar liver metastases of colorectal cancer, significantly improves the DFS and overall survival indexes, comparing to the group of patients who received only chemotherapy.

The present work is a continuation of studies on arginase as a marker in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM). The purpose of the study was the evaluation of the arginase test in comparison with other colorectal cancer tests such as CEA, CA 19-9 and biochemical markers of liver function such as aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). The studies were conducted on blood serum from 85 patients with CRCLM obtained one to two days before tumor resection. The control group comprised 140 healthy blood donors and 81 patients with various non-malignant gastrointestinal diseases. Raised arginase activity was observed in serum of 85% of CRCLM patients, whereas elevated levels of CEA and CA 19-9 were found in 63% and 42% of patients, respectively. The combination of CEA or CA 19-9 with the arginase assay improved their sensitivity, but the sensitivity of the combined parameters was not higher than that of the arginase test itself. AST and ALT activities were increased in about 30% of CRCLM patients. The specificity of the arginase test calculated for 221 control subjects was 76%. It can thus be concluded that the determination of serum arginase activity can be helpful in the diagnosis of patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases.

Aim. To study the influence of deproteinized dialysate from blood of milk-fed calves on the type of exudative discharge and dynamics of inflammatory reaction after hernia repair with plastics of the anterior abdominal wall with hernioendoprosthesis of polypropylene. Materials and Methods. The study involved 59 patients being on stationary treatment in the surgical department of Kursk Regional Clinical Hospital. Patients were hospitalized for the herniation of small or medium dimension. The patients were divided to two groups: the main (n=30) and control (n=29) groups. After endoprosthetics, the patients of the control group were given complex conservative treatment. The patients of the main group, besides standard treatment, were administered deproteinized dialysate from blood of milk-fed calves intravenously in drips 10 ml + 200 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride solution within 7 days. For cytological examination and determination of the type of cytograms, the traumatic discharge was collected and analyzed using the method of M.F. Kamaev and M.A. Palthsev. Results. Cytomorphometric examination was conducted on the third, fifth and seventh day after endoprosthetics with the aim of studying dynamic changes. Determination of cell composition and also of its changes characteristic of each studied period, was necessary for obtaining further information characterizing inflammatory process in the region of placement of the endoprosthesis. After endoprosthetics in patients who were administered hemodialysate, the inflammatory reaction was less pronounced than in patients who did not receive the preparation. This was associated with a more dynamic change of stages of the inflammatory process. In patients of the main group who received deproteinized dialysate, regenerative type of inflammation first appeared on the fifth day and made 6.9%; by the seventh day the share of patients with the regenerative type rose to 17.5%, while in the patients of the control group no regeneration stage was observed in both periods. Conclusion. Analysis of the efficiency of influence of hemodialysate on the inflammatory reaction in plastics of the anterior abdominal wall with polypropylene endoprosthesis evidences faster course of all stages of inflammation and reduction of its intensity by 10%.

Background: Liver metastases are the leading cause of death in patients with colorectal cancer. Despite advances in chemotherapy, surgical resection of hepatic metastases is still considered the only curative options. However, the majority of patients have inoperable disease at presentation. Perioperative chemotherapy is the most successful way for improved selection of patients for resection. The aim of the study was to demonstrate if and to what extent does bevacizumab, introduced in chemotherapy, increase response rates, and development of liver metastases. Methods: Our study included 50 patients who were divided in two groups. The experimental group included patients who were treated with bevacizumab plus chemotherapy, and the control group included patients who were treated with chemotherapy only. Results: The comparison showed that the patients who were treated with bevacizumab became candidates for resection of liver metastases in higher percentage (85%:52%). In addition, distribution of patients regarding the development of metastases resulted in statistically significant difference. Ratio between the patients with good response from the experimental and the control group was 67%:39%. Ratio of patients with stable disease was 26%:48%, and of patients with progressive disease, it was 7%:3%. The estimate of margin after resection was statistically insignificant. Conclusion: Bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy in therapy of liver metastases from primary colorectal cancer improves and increases response rates and development of liver metastases.

The purpose of the research is to develop a method for assessing the severity of symptoms of the endogenous intoxication syndrome and associated respiratory disorders in patients with colorectal cancer. The study involved 86 patients (the main group included 51 patients with colorectal cancer, the control group 35 relatively healthy people). All patients were studied upon indicators of clinical blood test, and hematological indices of intoxication were calculated. In the patients of the main group, an assessment of the oxygen status parameters was done. The study revealed that 52.9% of patients with colorectal cancer have symptoms of endogenous intoxication syndrome and respiratory disorders of varying severity, which are accompanied by decrease in oxygen delivery to tissues, its increased consumption and utilization. As a result of the study, there was proposed a method for calculation of the integral index of intoxication as a parameter of expression of endogenous intoxication and associated respiratory disorders. Statistically significant values of the correlation coefficients of the proposed indicator of intoxication and oxygen status parameters suggest a high diagnostic significance of this index in patients with colorectal cancer. Moreover, the application of this method in everyday practice is simple for the doctor and safe for the patient.

Goal. Improving the scheme of treatment and prevention of periodontal diseases in workers of the woodworking industry of Chernivtsi region, who in the process of professional activity have long-term contact with unfavorable factors of the production environment. Materials and methods. 70 workers of the woodworking industry with diagnosed chronic generalized periodontitis of the I degree were treated (35 people – the main group (A); 35 people – comparison group (B)), age – from 25 to 45 years. To compare the results of laboratory studies, an additional survey of 25 healthy individuals of the same age with an intact periodontium were conducted. They formed the control group (C). Clinical examination of patients was performed according to standart methods: subjective (complaints, medical history, life history) and objective (examination, periodontal indices, determination of the level of gingival attachment). Laboratory methods of research included determination of urease and lysozyme activity in saliva, degree of dysbiosis of oral cavity. As maintenance therapy, patients of the main group were prescribed the proposed composition DEPE. Results. After the treatment, a significant improvement in the hygienic status of patients in both groups was observed, but difference between groups A and B in the indicators of oral hygiene after treatment was no statistically significant (pA2–B2 > 0.05). There was a significant improvement in periodontal indices after treatment in patients of both groups (PMA index according to C. Parma, bleeding index according to Muhlemann in Cowell I. modification, Russell periodontal index, PSR-test), but the indicators in patients of the main group were significantly better – pA2–B2 < 0.05. In patients of the main group (A) the level of attachment loss decreased by 1.83 times, comparison group (B) – by 1.71 times. The difference in levels of attachment loss after treatment between groups A and B is statistically significant (pA2–B2 < 0.05). The activity of the enzyme urease in patients of the main group (A) and comparison group (B) after treatment was significantly reduced (pA1–A2 < 0.001, pB1–B2 < 0.001), but only in the main group it reached the level in the control group (C) (pA2–C > 0.05). The level of lysozyme after treatment was significantly increased in patients of both observation groups (pA1–A2 < 0.001, pB1–B2 < 0.001), and reached the level of lysozyme in patients of the control group (C) (pA2–C > 0.05, pB2–C > 0.05). The degree of oral dysbiosis in patients of the main group (A) was significantly reduced by 5.43 times (pA1–A2 < 0.001), and its difference from the degree of dysbiosis in patients of the control group (C) is statistically insignificant (pA2–C > 0.05 ). The degree of oral dysbiosis in patients of the comparison group (B) was significantly reduced by 3.04 times (pB1–B2 < 0.001), but still remained significantly different from oral dysbiosis in patients of the control group (C) (pB2–C < 0.05). Conclusion. The proposed pharmacological composition DEPE is an effective antiseptic solution and can be used in the phase of maintenance therapy to improve the treatment and prevention of periodontal disease in workers of woodworking industry. Key words: decamethoxine, propolis, ethonium, generalized periodontitis, woodworking industry.

Aim. To assess the antioxidant capacity in patients with the «dry» form of age-related macular degeneration before and after combined treatment with polarized polychromatic non-coherent light and dynamic electromyostimulation. Methods. Two groups of patients with the «dry» form of age-related macular degeneration were examined. 40 patients (80 eyes) from the main group were treated using combined treatment and 39 patients (78 eyes) in the group of control who were treated conventionally. The integral blood antioxidant capacity was measured by galvanometry. Results. Blood antioxidant capacity in healthy subjects is 26.0 kC/l. In patients of the main group blood antioxidant capacity before the treatment was equal to 22.81±0.27 kC/l, compared to 22.17±0.20 kC/l in control group (total mean value 22.49±0.27 kC/l). There was a relevant elevation of the blood antioxidant capacity at the late stages after the treatment - up to 12 months, compared to only 2 months in the control group. Visual acuity in patients of the main group before the treatment was 0.87±0.02, after the treatment was finished - 0.96±0,01 (p 0.001), 2 months after the treatment - 0.95±0.01 (p 0.001), 6 months after the treatment - 0.96±0.01 (p 0.001), 12 months after the treatment - 0.95±0.01 (p 0.001). Visual acuity in patients of the control group before the treatment was 0.91±0.02, after the treatment was finished - 0.95±0.02 (p 0.05), 2 months after the treatment - 0.94±0.02 (p 0.05), 6 months after the treatment - 0.92±0.02 (p 0.05). 12 months after the treatment the visual acuity deteriorated compared to the treatment start and was measured as 0.89±0.02. Conclusion. There is a decrease of blood antioxidant capacity (22.49±0.27 kC/l) in patients with the «dry» form of age-related macular degeneration; a relevant increase of blood antioxidant capacity and visual acuity can be observed up to 12 months after the treatment with polarized polychromatic non-coherent light and dynamic electromyostimulation.

Importance. Exfoliative cheilitis is an inflammatory disease accompanied by damage to the red border of the lips. With dry exfoliative cheilitis, scales form on the lips, which are densely soldered to the underlying tissue in the center, and along the periphery, on the contrary, are raised. At the same time, patients indicate a feeling of dryness, burning. When the exudative form of cheilitis is observed puffiness, sore lips. Diagnosis of exfoliative cheilitis is reduced to the collection of complaints, the preparation of anamnesis of the disease, physical examination. For the treatment of exfoliative cheilitis, Bucca rays, moisturizing creams, acupuncture techniques, as well as agents that increase body resistance are used. As it turned out, in practice, all existing methods of treatment are ineffective, and the disease is manifested by frequent relapses. Pathology is more common in women. The dry form of the disease is mainly detected at the age of 16-40 years. Exudative cheilitis is diagnosed in patients aged 16-65 years. Objectives ― evaluate the effectiveness of lip balm based on lamb fat, and make a conclusion based on the clinical data and patient's subjective sensations. Methods. Twenty patients aged from 18 to 45 years with a diagnosis of exfoliative cheilitis were selected for work. All patients were divided into two groups: control (10 people) and main (10 people). Local therapy in both groups began according to the generally accepted scheme: sanation of the oral cavity, treatment of periodontal diseases according to indications, selective grinding off of the sharp edges of the teeth. In the main group, patients received treatment in the form of an application with a cool furatsilina solution, and applying the dosage form in the form of lip balm., Consisting of red-hot lamb fat and filtered through gauze, lanolin, pumpkin oil, ylang ylang oil, geranium oil, and also vitamins oil A and E and medical paraffin, this dosage form was prepared in paraffin and sterilized, after complete cooling it was applied to the lips with a spatula, and the patients easily used it at home as a balm for K in the morning and evening. Patients of the control group received the traditional treatment of cheilitis, anestezin applications, lip treatment with an antiseptic solution and keratoplasty applications - vitamin A and E oil. The results of the treatment were evaluated according to the clinical examination of patients, as well as taking into account the subjective feelings of the patients. Results. Based on the schemes of complex treatment of exfoliative cheilitis in patients of the main group, a positive result was obtained after the 3rd visit. A decrease in pain syndrome, a decrease in lesion elements (flakes), epithelization of cracks, a decrease in pain syndrome, a decrease in complaints of dryness of the red border of the lips were revealed. Conclusions. The development of this algorithm for treating ecfoliative cheilitis, including a mutton fat lip balm, has reduced the treatment time for this pathology.

Results Of Treatment

The literature review is devoted to the analysis of the main methods of treatment of patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases. The analysis of the clinical trials results over the past 10 years has been carried out. Colorectal cancer is the common malignant neoplasm. About 20% of patients have distant metastases in the diagnosing. Liver is the most frequent targeted organ, liver metastases are detected in 14,5% of patients with colorectal cancer. Despite the encouraging results of treatment of certain groups of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, the treatment tactics for most patients is limited to palliative chemotherapy. In recent years, the survival of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer has significantly improved due to the success of systemic therapy. The median overall survival has reached for 2 years due to combination chemotherapy based on fluoropyrimidines, oxaliplatin, irinotecan in combination with monoclonal antibodies (bevacizumab, cetuximab and panitumumab). The optimal combination and sequence of using these anticancer agents in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer has not yet been determined. Surgery is the standard of care for this category of patients. At the same time, until nowdays there are no clear and generally accepted criteria for choosing the optimal volume of surgical intervention, prescribing first-line chemotherapy and using other methods of antitumor treatment.

Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of using bioresonance therapy in the treatment of patients with hypothyroidism.Methods. Three matched groups of patients with acquired hypothyroidism consisting of 50 people aged 20 to 60 years (mean age 45.6 years) were included in a study. All patients were treated by the same conventional scheme of treatment of hypothyroidism: thyroid hormone replacement drugs. The main group, in addition to replacement therapy received bioresonance therapy. The second group (control) received only pharmacotherapy, the third group (placebo) received pharmacotherapy and simulation of bioresonance therapy procedures. Patients of the main group received 12 daily bioresonance therapy procedures using «Det Professional» device, consisting of two stages: the basic treatment stage and targeted therapy stage. 5 procedures of basic treatment and 7 procedures of targeted therapy were performed.Results. After bioresonance therapy, free thyroxine fraction value in the main group significantly increased in comparison with the control group and the placebo group. Values of thyroid-stimulating hormone after the conducted therapy in the main group significantly decreased compared with the control group and the placebo group. The lipidogram results indicate that the content of high-density lipoproteins in the study group significantly increased compared with the control group and the placebo group. The concentrations of low-density lipoproteins, cholesterol and triglycerides in the main group became significantly lower than in the control group and the placebo group.Conclusion. The obtained results give the evidence of the effectiveness of using bioresonance therapy in combined treatment of patients with hypothyroidism and in achieving stable remission of hypothyroidism.
