SEARCH FOR NEW CRITERIA AMONG THE BLOOD HEMOGRAM INDICES TO ASSESS THE CONDITION OF PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC WOUNDS AND EFFICACY OF THEIR TREATMENT.

In order to identify the predictors for improving the monitoring and efficacy of treating patients with chronic wounds, a study was performed in 75 patients aged 21 to 92 years with chronic wounds of various etiology and living in an ecocrisis region during joint forces operations (JFO) in the dynamics of treatment. Studies have shown that predictors of monitoring the status and efficacy of treatment in patients with chronic wounds can be the ratio of the absolute content of stab and segmented neutrophils, lymphocytes and latent immunocompromise, and as indicative indices of recovery and treatment efficacy the content of basophilic granulocytes, monocytes and natural killers was selected. The obtained results indicate the need to continue the search for predictors of monitoring the condition and efficacy of treatment in patients with chronic wounds at a more subtle level of cytomorphological studies of the peripheral blood leukogram elements.

[Bottled Zbruch naftusia mineral water--a new immunocorrective for regions ecologically at crisis].

Effects were studied of bottled mineral water "Zbruch Naftusia" on the blood and immunity condition of hypothetically healthy population of the Donetsk region living under environmental hazard conditions and having disorders in the area of the immune system. The studies made showed that prescription of the above drug preparation for use by conditionally healthy population of the Donetsk region, just those very contingents maintaining long-time occupational contact with liquidators of aftermath of the Chernobyl breakdown, is associated with immunocorrection at the level of content of the immunocompetent cell populations and subpopulations, with their function restored against the background of alleviating of the syndrome of endogenous intoxication that had developed because of them being resident under health hazard conditions in an ecocrisis-ridden region.
