ON THE SUBJECT OF TACTICS OF USING POSTERIOR STABILIZING SYSTEMS IN SCOLIOTIC SPINAL DEFORMITIES
Abstract
Aim. To improve the results of correction and stabilization of scoliotic spinal deformity using posterior screw and combined systems. Materials and methods. The results of surgical treatment of 138 patients aged 3-48 were studied; 76% of patients were operated at the age of 11-17 years old. In 95% of patients, idiopathic and dysplastic scoliosis was diagnosed. Four groups of patients were singled out. In group 1, Harrington rods added by Luke’s fixation and posterior spondylodesis were used for 9 patients, in group 2 - 101 patients underwent a single-stage correction using posterior transpedicular screw and combined systems, in group 3 (18 patients) - 16 patients underwent a three-stage correction (1 - thoracotomy resection of the 4-5 th intervertebral disks, deformation mobilization and front corporodesis, 2 - craniotibial extension for 4-5 weeks) and 2 patients a two-stage correction (1 - thoracotomy resection of the 4-5 th intervertebral disks, mobilization and front corporodesis) and in group 4 (10 patients), patients with congenital anomalies of vertebral development predominantly against the background of disturbed formation (active postlateral semivertebras in the lumbar and inferothoracic parts) underwent resection and (or) vertebra osteotomy and posterior spondylodesis with back access using computer navigation. In groups 3 and 4, the same types of fixation devices as in group 2 were placed at the last stage. Clinicoroentgenological data, magnetic resonance and computer tomography parameters were studied. Results. In group 1, correction did not exceed 50% of the initial one. The lowest traumatism of intervention and high efficiency of a single-access and single-stage correction using posterior pedicular screw and combined systems was observed in group 2 (73%). In this group of patients with the initial deformation value up to 50°, correction was 90% of the initial value, in patients with the initial value of 51-100°, correction was 78% of the initial value. When using these fixation devices, in groups 2,3 and 4 a mean value of deformation correction of the basic arc was 69% of the initial one with screw transpedicular systems alone and 61% - with combined systems ( р <0,05). Correction loss during the period of 2-4 years was not more than 5% of the direct result ( р <0,05). Complications made 4,3%, they were eliminated conservatively and did not influence long-term results. Conclusion. Application of transpedicular and combined systems is a high-efficient variant of surgical treatment of scoliotic deformities with correction not less than 60% of the initial value irrespective of variant of surgical treatment. This technique gives minimal loss of correction in the postoperative long-term period.

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF EXPIRED AIR NITRIC OXIDE FRACTIONAL DETERMINATION AS INSTRUMENT OF DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPEUTIC EFFICIENCY ASSESSMENT OF PEDIATRIC CHRONIC RESPIRATORY DISEASES
Abstract
Aim. To analyze new possibilities of fractional determination of the expired air nitric oxide. Materials and methods. 120 children aged 2-18, ill with bronchial asthma, primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and other diseases were examined. To carry out fractional determination of the expired air nitric oxide, Analyzer CLD88 (ECO MEDICS®, Switzerland) was used. Estimation of the results of alveolar test (subsequent thrice-repeated determination of Fe NO with the expiratory rate of 30, 100 and 300 l/min) was performed by the following parameters: Ca NO (alveolar NO concentration); Caw NO (NO concentration in the upper airway tissues); Daw NO (NO duffusion rate); Jaw NO (NO flow from the upper airway tissues); Fe NO50 (extrapolated Fe NO value with the expiratory rate of 50 ml/s). Results. Caw NO level moderately correlated (r=0,58) with the nasal nitric oxide level and ranged from 5,7 ppb (in PCD patients) to 473,5 ppb (in a child with severe BA associated with exacerbated allergic rhinitis). Higher correlation degree was revealed between Jaw NO level (166,6÷8815,8 pl/s) and Fe NO and Fe NO50 level ( r =0,82 and r =0,78, respectively). Conclusion. Differentially diagnostic significance of the determined indices in bronchial asthma and primary ciliary dyskinesia was shown.

METABOLIC DISORDERS IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE CHOLECYSTOPANCREATITIS
Abstract
Aim. To determine the metabolic disorders in patients with acute cholecystopancreatitis and pathogenetic basis of mini-invasive intervention efficiency in destructive cholecystitis. Materials and methods. The work is based on clinicolaboratory data of patients with acute cholecystopancreatitis; in the main group cholecystetomy was performed laparoscopically. Results. It was shown that in patients with acute cholecystopancreatitis operated for destructive cholecystitis, homeostatic disorders are growing irrespective of operative access in the early postoperative period during the first two days. Relatively insignificant homeostatic disorders in case of low-traumatic operative interventions are conditioned by comparatively low manifestations of oxidative stress that causes lesser membrane-destabilizing phenomena. Conclusion. Reliably significant deviation of homeostatic indices occurs in patients after traditional laparotomy.

Abstract
Aim. To study the character of production of intercellular adhesive molecules ICAM-1 and ICAM-3 in patients with dilatation cardiomyopathy (DCMP) and ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICMP) and to ground their significance in these diseases. Materials and methods. 60 patients with CMP III-IV of functional class CHF (NYHA, 2003) were under observation. Out of them, there were 31 patients with DCMP (26 men - 76,4%, 8 women - 23,6%) with a mean age of 44,6±2,23 years, 29 patients with ICMP - (23 men - 56,0%, 15 women - 44%) with a mean age of 58,0±0,05 years. The control group consisted of 37 practically healthy persons. Results. Adhesive molecule ICAM-1 concentration appeared to be reliably lower in DCMP and in ICMP compared to control indices and was in DCMP - 45,05±2,869 ng/ml, in ICMP - 39,93±2,046 ng/ml (in control - 430,9±24,1 ng/ml, p =0,001). Adhesive molecule ICAM-3 content was higher than the analogous control indices: DCMP - 13,83±0,78 ng/ml (in healthy - 8,69±0,35 ng/ml, p =0,000); ICMP - 13,48±1,008 ng/ml ( p =0,000). Conclusion. The obtained data prove presence of impaired intercellular contacts between endothelium and leukocytes, disturbed homing into inflammatory focus that causes chonization of inflammatory process.

SIGNIFICANCE OF VASCULAR ENDOTHELIUM GROWTH FACTOR IN ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION AMONG PATIENTS WITH METABOLIC SYNDROME
Abstract
Aim. The objective of our study was to investigate the status of endothelium in patients with metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a block of hormonal and metabolic disorders united by a common pathophysiological mechanism - insulin resistance (IR). The connecting link between IR and cardiovascular diseases is endothelial dysfunction. Materials and methods. The problem was solved by means of assessment of vascular tonus changes using skin temperature range wavelet-analysis and VEGF determination while performing indirect cold test. Results. Serum VEGF concentration in MS patients was reliably higher than in practically healthy persons. In patients with MS, cold test response significantly differed from the control group. While carrying out cold test, the amplitude reliably decreased in endothelial and neurogenic bandwidth without its rise by the end of the study. There was revealed a reliable direct correlation between VEGF and BMI ( r =0,59; p <0,05), VEGF and WC ( r =0,58; p <0,05), VEGF and DAP ( r =0,57; p <0,05), VEGF and total cholesterol levels ( r =0,74; p <0,05). Conclusion. Thus, endothelial dysfunction in MS patients is displayed by impaired vasodilation in physiological cold test, but increase in patients’ VEGF level can be considered as an additional marker of cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
Aim. To study the correlation between leptin, proinflammatory cytokines - tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), functional hepatic tests, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism indices in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) associated with fatty lesion of the liver. Materials and methods. 50 patients with MS and fatty hepatic lesion and 30 practically healthy subjects were examined. Blood serum leptin, TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations were assessed with immunofermental analysis method. Glucose level, functional hepatic tests, lipid metabolism indices were studied. Hepatic sonography or computer tomography were carried out. Results. In patients with MS and fatty hepatic lesion, significant increase in blood serum leptin, TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations as compared to the group of practically healthy persons was detected. Reliable correlation between leptin, body mass index, atherogenic lipids and alkaline phospatase was stated. IL-6 concentration correlated with TNF-α and alkaline phosphatase. Maximum number of reliable correlations was revealed between TNF-α and the studied tests including transaminases, gamma-glutamiltranspeptidase, glucose, triglycerides, leptin. Cytolysis and cholestasis tests correlated with hyperlipidemia markers. Conclusion. Correlation between proinflammatory cytokines and cytolysis and cholestasis markers proves severity of hepatic lesion in MS patients. TNF-α most informatively reflects pathogenetic connection of disturbed carbohydrate and lipid metabolism with inflammatory response against the background of fatty lesion of the liver in case of metabolic syndrome.

DEVELOPMENT AND STANDARDIZATION OF FROZEN-DRIED VACCINE FORM FOR PREVENTION OF HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE TYPE B-INDUCED INFECTIONS
Abstract
Aim. To produce a frozen-dried vaccine form for prevention of infections induced by Haemophilus influenza of type b (HIB-vaccine), its standardization and preclinical assessment. Materials and methods. HIB-vaccine quality was estimated by the following parameters: quantitative determination of polyribosilribitol phosphate (PRP), solubility, drying mass loss, sterility, osmolarity, immunogenicity. Preclinical assessment of HIB-vaccine safety was performed on outbred white mice using standard methods including the study of acute and chronic toxicity, pathomorphological, hematological and biochemical investigations. Results. Technology of producing a frozen-dried drug form of HIB-vaccine was developed. To determine the identity of HIB-vaccine titanic component, an original method based on coagglutination reaction was offered. It was shown that a frozen-dried HIB-vaccine stimulates production of PRP antibodies in rabbits at the level comparable with AKT-HIB and Kimi-HIB vaccines (16,91, 17,19 and 15,28 mkg/ml, respectively). When using AKDS-Hep V+HIB and aAKDS-Hep V+HIB vaccines, a higher level of antibodies to polysaccharide (42,91 and 40,31 mkg/ml), respectively) as compared to monovaccines ( p <0,05) was observed. While studying HIB-vaccines in the tests of acute and chronic toxicity, no decrease in animal body mass as well as essential changes in biochemical and hematological indices was stated that proves absence of toxic effects of the drug. Conclusion. The studied physiochemical properties, sterility, identity, immunogenicity and specific safety showed that a frozen-dried form of synthetic conjugated vaccine for prevention of type b hemophilic infection, produced by the developed technology, completely corresponds to the requirements of European Pharmacopeia and can be used as a component of combined vaccines for prevention of diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B and hemophilic infection of type b .

MORPHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF EXPERIMENTAL CATHETER-ASSOCIATED INFECTION
Abstract
Aim. To give morphological assessment of catheter-associated infection model in laboratory mice in conditions of immunosuppression caused by introduction of cyclophosphamide. Materials and methods. Modeling of catheter-associated infection for morphological assessment of changes in the surrounding tissues was carried out. Animals were implanted catheters with preliminary grown staphylococci biofilms; they were also once and repeatedly introduced bacterial suspensions into the tissues surrounding the catheter. Cellular composition of inflammatory infiltrate and microbial colony volume were assessed during three days. Results. Restrictive shaft round the catheter consisting of fibrin and cellular elements of inflammatory infiltrate with different thickness and composition depending on observation terms and experimental peculiarities was formed. Immunosuppression causes more marked growth of staphylococcus colonies and less pronounced inflammatory response than in case of introducing staphylococcus cultures without cyclophosphamide.

STUDY OF EXPIRED AIR CONDENSATE IN PEDIATRIC RESPIRATORY DISEASES: REALITY AND PERSPECTIVES*
Abstract
The data on the possibility of using the expired air condensate study in respiratory diseases are presented in the paper. The expired air condensate can consist of both volatile compound and heavy low-volatile substances (lipids, inflammatory mediators, cytokines, oxidants, hydrogen peroxide, nitrates and others). This method of non-invasive assessment of inflammatory respiratory changes in children is applied during scientific studies in case of bronchial asthma, mucoviscidosis, respiratory infections and some other diseases. The basic factors limiting clinical use of expired air condensate analysis in children are the level variability and low biomarker concentrations (at the susceptibility threshold of the existing methods of analysis).
