[The bacteriological aspects of post-implantation Highmore maxillary sinusitis].

The present publication was designed to summarize the results of the studies on etiopathogenesis of post-implantation Highmore maxillary sinusitis. The taxonomic evaluation of the microbial "paysage" of the rhinosinonasal sphere following maxillary intraosseous dental implantation is reported. The non-infectious dystrophic nature of this pathological condition was demonstrated.

[Surgical radioprotection of the postoperative cavities for the optimization of radiotherapy of common cancer of paranasal sinuses and prophylaxis of local radiation-induced lesions].

The analysis of the literature publications and original clinical observations (27 cases) provided a basis for the consideration and generalization of the results of the combined radical surgical treatment of common cancer of paranasal sinuses with the elements of craniobasal and craniofascial plastic reconstruction of the postoperative cavities with a view to optimization of radiotherapy and radioprotection of the intact tissues. The role of the proposed methods in the combined treatment of cancer of paranasal sinuses is evaluated. Special emphasis is laid on the importance of radioprotection for the prevention of radiation-induced epitheliitis in the reconstructed cavities following resection of the upper jaw, sino-orbital exenteration, and hemifacial resection.

[New prospects of sonodynanic therapy in oncorhinology].

Experimental and clinical data are presented on application of ultrasound in combination with various sonosensitizers for destruction of malignant tumors of the nose and paranasal sinuses.
