Unlabelled: Trophic venous ulcers are a serious medical and economic issue. Despite a large number of proposed methods for treatment of trophic ulcers, it is not always possible to achieve their complete healing. All this dictates the expediency of further search for more efficient, costeffective and accessible means and methods of trophic ulcer treatment.

Aim: The aim of the study was to develop approaches that increase the effectiveness of treatment of patients with trophic ulcers, by constructing a system of sanogenesis in a given pathology in the form of a scheme, analyzing this scheme and finding "weak links" in it, the strengthening of which will contribute to the achievement of the goal.

Materials And Methods: Modern foreign and domestic literature, Internet-resources and patent documentation were analyzed. The results of our earlier in vitro and in vivo experiments in which the role of neutrophils in wound healing had been studied, were taken into consideration. The deductive method was used in the development and the principle of the systematic approach to the phenomenon under study was implemented.

Results: We constructed a system of trophic ulcer sanogenesis in the form of a diagram. Guided by sanogenetic mechanisms, key strategic approaches to the local treatment of trophic ulcers were outlined. It is required to eliminate all factors supporting an inflammatory reaction, contributing to suppuration and create optimal conditions for the transformation and growth of regenerate cells. Certain treatments of the open wound surface at the first and second phases of the wound process were substantiated. It is proposed to moisten the surface of the ulcer with a liquid composition after cleansing the trophic ulcer from dead cells and microorganisms, applying a suspension of autoleukocytes obtained from the patient's venous blood to the wound surface.It contains components with high biocompatibility creating an optimal environment for tissue regeneration in the ulcer. The composition includes DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium) liquid medium + 10% of the patient's autosera + a combination of antibiotics active against both pathogenic and all nonpathogenic microorganisms vegetating in the patient's trophic ulcer, in the concentrations of 80-100 mcg/ml that do not interfere with the transformation of regenerate cells. The use of this liquid composition will accelerate the appearance of granulations, epithelialization, and the healing time of trophic ulcers. If a patient has an extensive wound surface, it can be prepared for autodermoplasty earlier.

Conclusions: Based on the construction and analysis of the venous trophic ulcer sanogenesis system, approaches to the local treatment of trophic ulcers have been developed. It is required to eliminate all factors supporting an inflammatory reaction, contributing to suppuration and create optimal conditions for the transformation and growth of regenerate cells. Optimal conditions for the transformation and growth of cells in a trophic ulcer can be created by applying to the surface of the ulcer a liquid nutrient medium for cultivating DMEM cells with autoserum and antibiotics at concentrations that are not toxic to regenerated cells.

Introduction: Destruction of the trigeminal (Gasserian) ganglion or peripheral damage to the trigeminal nerve may lead to trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS), a rare condition characterized by self-inflicted trauma. To date, under 200 cases of TTS are documented in medical literature, with only sparse studies reporting on oral complications secondary to this condition.

Case Report: The following report presents a well-documented case of oral complications associated with TTS in an 83-year-old Caucasian female presenting with right-sided lesions on her nasal ala, scalp, buccal mucosa, and tongue, secondary to self-inflicted injury following their second microvascular decompression for surgical management of trigeminal neuralgia.

Article Synopsis
  • - Trigeminal trophic syndrome leads to self-inflicted skin lesions due to nerve damage, while greater auricular trophic syndrome can develop after nerve sacrifice during parotid surgery.
  • - A 59-year-old woman experienced ear ulceration five months post-parotidectomy, diagnosed with greater auricular trophic syndrome and treated effectively with topical clobetasol and behavioral changes.
  • - Unlike other reported cases that involved mental health issues, this case involved a patient without prior psychiatric disorders, demonstrating successful treatment focusing on physical symptoms rather than psychological factors.

Autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) therapy is beneficial in the treatment of nonhealing ulcers. We present a case series of nonhealing, trophic ulcers with underlying leprous neuropathy, treated successfully with PRF therapy. It was a prospective study, conducted in a tertiary care hospital in the western Maharashtra, India between April 2021 and March 2022.

Background & Aims: Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) can induce remission in patients with ulcerative colitis, yet its efficacy needs improvement. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the current literature on microbial factors affecting outcome, as well as a meta-analysis on some of the largest datasets regarding composition.

Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane were systematically searched through August 2024 for relevant studies.

Article Synopsis
  • Trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS) is a rare condition caused by damage to the trigeminal nerve, leading to facial ulceration, loss of sensation, and abnormal skin sensations, especially near the nostrils.
  • The lesions associated with TTS arise from continuous self-harm and trauma to the affected skin area.
  • This report showcases three individual cases of TTS, emphasizing changes around the eyes and different causes such as strokes and herpes zoster infection.
