[Surgical tactics in treatment of osteomyelitis of long bones].

The new osteomyelitis classification was worked out on the strength of treatment results of 361 patients. Four types of long bones lesions are marked out: medullar, superficial, focal and diffuse. The kind of surgical treatment is determined according to the lesion type.

[The follow-up results of patients with necrotic suppurative forms of diabetic foot syndrome].

Follow-up results of 162 patients with necrotic suppurative forms of the diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) are studied in a period of 6 months to 7 years. 51.35% of patients with neuropathic form of DFS (NPDFS) relapsed, whereas among patients with neuroischemic form (NIDFS) relapse was reported in 61.

[Modern approach to treatment of trophic ulcers of legs with perifocal varicose eczema, associated with mycotic infection].

During 2005-2007 128 patients at the age from 21 to 80 years with extensive trophic ulcers of legs were treated in the contaminated surgery department of A.V. Vishnevsky Surgery Institute and Korolenko Hospital.

[Hemostasis system disturbances and their correction in patients with pyonecrotic forms of diabetic foot].

Severe hypercoagulation syndrome was diagnosed in patients with various forms of diabetic foot. Pathology at coagulogram parameters reflects systemic metabolic and inflammatory disturbances. Anticoagulant therapy should be combined with correction of glycemia, treatment of infection and critical ischemia.

[Clinical importance of early diagnosis of anaerobic non-clostridial infection].

Anaerobic infection is one of the most complicated problems of pyosurgery. The algorithm of examination of patients with anaerobic infection including intraoperative diagnosis is proposed. Surgical treatment playing also diagnostic role is the basis of combined treatment of soft tissues anaerobic infection.

[Endoscopic subfascial dissection of venous perforants in treatment of venous trophic ulcers of the legs].

Endoscopic subfascial dissection was performed in patients with chronic venous insufficiency of CEAP class 4-6. 76 surgeries were performed in 68 patients. Mean age of the patients was 56 years.

[Pathogenesis and combined surgical treatment of the pyonecrotic diabetic foot].

Three hundred and fifteen patients with necrotic forms of diabetic foot were examined and treated. Neuropathic infected form of diabetic foot was diagnosed in 45.7% patients, neuro-ischemic form--in 54.

[Neutrophilic respiratory response in surgical infection and an association with plasma membranous synthesis of ATP].

Early studies have demonstrated that the unique phenomenon ATP aerobic synthesis on neutrophilic plasma membranes is observed when neutrophils are activated with the chemoattractive peptide FMLP. This paper presents the results of the study of a possible association of ATP plasma membranous synthesis with priming, with the occurrence of respiratory explosion and apoptosis of the neutrophils isolated from the blood of donors and patients with surgical infection of different severity. The interaction of neutrophilic plasma membranes with FMLP and with hTNF (was attended by ATP synthesis.

[Immune status in diabetic patients with pyo-necrotic lesions of lower extremities].

Long-term and severe pyonecrotic processes in diabetic patients testify to severe disorders of immune system in this disease. High titer of antibodies to tested autostrain demonstrated its etiologic role in infectious process. The study group consisted of 29 patients (with diabetic pyonecrotic foot lesions), control group--17 patients with burns of III a, b--IV stage affecting from 20 to 60% of body surface.

[Prediction and diagnosis of drug intolerance in patients with purulent infection and burn disease].

The immunological study was made in which the drug sensitivity index according to S. M. Demyanenko was estimated in 76 patients (24 women and 52 men aged 17-73 years): in patients with soft tissue purulent infection (group 1, n = 46) and surface thermal burns (degree III-IV) of 40% body surface (group 2, n = 30).

[Experience in the use of vessel due F (sulodexide) in patients with suppurative-necrotic forms of diabetic foot without critical ischemia].

Aim: To evaluate effectiveness of sulodexide in patients with pyonecrotic complications of diabetic foot.

Material And Method: Sulodexide was given to 15 patients which were examined for blood fibrinogen, foot tissues saturation with oxygen, microbic contamination of the wound tissue. In addition, ultrasound dopplerography of foot arteries, laser doppler flowmetry were performed.

[Current methods of morphological and hemostasiological analysis of reparative process in wounds making use of information programs].

Objective rapid morphological and hemostasiological methods for evaluating the reparative process in the wound making use of PC software have been developed for identification of stages of reparative process in the wound under conditions of modern surgical service. Cytran consultative software has been developed for evaluation of phases of reparative reaction in the wound. Coagulogram consultative software was used for identification of reparative reaction phases in the wound from hemostasiological changes in tissue factors of granulation tissue in the wound.

[The basic principles of treating patients with chronic osteomyelitis of the long bones].

Experiences with surgical treatment of 269 patients with chronic osteomyelitis of long bones based on the principles of active surgical treatment of purulent wounds were summarized. Certain aspects of surgical treatment of patients with chronic osteomyelitis were revised and supplemented. Different variants of surgical treatment of the osteomyelitis focus were shown depending on the volume and character of the injury and the methods of plastic substitution of defects of the bones and soft tissues.

[Surgical treatment of long bones' chronic osteomyelitis].

The experience in surgical treatment of 269 patients with long bone chronic osteomyelitis based on the principles of active surgical policy for purulent wounds is summarized. Some aspects of osteomyelitis surgical treatment are reconsidered and complemented. Variants of osteomyelitic focus surgical debridement dependent on severity the lesion as well as methods of plastic replacement of bones' and soft tissues' defects are demonstrated.

[The clinical laboratory assessment of vancomycin (Edicin) efficacy in treating suppurative wounds of the skin and soft tissues, burn wounds and the infectious complications of burns].

Clinical and bacteriological efficacies of vancomycin (Edicin, LEK) in the treatment of 17 patients with wound infection and 13 patients with thermal affections were studied. The clinical efficacy in the group of the patients with purulent wounds of the soft tissues amounted to 94.1 per cent and that in the patients with thermal affections was 92.
