Actuality. Rapid verification of accurate diagnosis and evaluation of further treatment tactics present the primary objective in rendering of assistanse for children with polytrauma.

Objective – to evaluate the efficency of results of tratment of supporting-motor system in children with polytrauma based on the analysis of 85 children.

Materials and methods. 58 % of the patients were admitted during the first 24 hours, 30 % during 3 days, 12 % more than 3 days. The boys predominated among the patients. The mean age of the patients was 10.8 ± 0.25. 91 % of the children were admitted with traumatic shock. 9 % of the patients were admitted in stable, compansated state (according to the Pape scale). 66 % were admitted in intermediate, subcompensated state, and 6 % in critical agonal state. The majority of the patients got injuries as result of road traffic accidents (81 %). 73 % of the patients had support-motor injuries, with combination with traumatic brain injury in 43 %. Among the patients with support-motor injuries and polytrauma 50.5 % were operated. The simple and low invasive fixation techniques were used. The mortality was 5.8 %.   

Conclusion. The early surgical treatment of skeletal trauma in children decreases hospital stay.  

Key words: polytrauma; children; osteosynthesis; fractures in children.

Object of research – experience use of “damage control” tactics in treatment of victims with craniocerebral and spine trauma.

Objective – studying of results of rendering of medical care with the “damage control” principle in victims with craniocerebral and spine trauma in the large city and the region with low population density.

Material and methods. The analysis of the results of use of “damage control” surgical tactics in various hospitals of the large city (by the example of St. Petersburg) and in the region of the Russian Federation with low population density (by the example of the Komi Republic) in 127 victims with craniocerebral and in 67 patients with spine trauma during 2010-2012 was carried out.

Results. Surgical interventions were undertaken by step-by-step at a combined craniocerebral trauma almost 2 times more often than in isolated one (66.2 % and 33.8 % respectively). It was caused by severity of victims with polytrauma which is accompanied, as a rule, by traumatic shock and blood loss. With “damage control” tactics the lethality from craniocerebral trauma was 26.8 % lower, and social adaptation among the survived victims was 30.9 % higher. The gained experience allowed formulating preliminary indications for step-by-step operations in craniocerebral trauma.

Realization of this tactics in treatment of victims with spine trauma includes minimal invasive fixing of spine.

Conclusion. In craniocerebral trauma it is necessary to consider application of “damage control” tactics as a choice method. Application of tactics of stage-by-stage surgical interventions with “damage control” principle promotes improvement of results of treatment of victims with craniocerebral and spine trauma in the large city and the region with low population density.

Key words: craniocerebral trauma; spine trauma; “damage control” tactics.

Objective – to analyze the results of surgical treatment of the patients with injuries to the lower cervical spine by means of anterior fixation.

Materials and methods. Road trauma occurred in 22 (37 %) patients, home accident – in 20 (34 %), diving trauma – in 17 (29 %). Dislocations and subluxations were in 30 (51 %) patients, compression vertebral fractures – in 29 (49 %). All patients had neurological disorders. Surgical treatment with anterior spinal stabilization was performed in 59 patients. The long term results of the treatment within the range from 6 months till 6 years were studied in 49 patients with the analysis of clinical, neurologic, radiographic data and lethality. 

Results.  Rigid stabilization of the spine with the use of porous nickelide titanium implants and plate CSLP fixation and the presence of bone-metal block at the injured levels were observed. Mortality was 24.6 %. In the long-term period after the surgery the initial neurological symptoms occurred in 16 (33 %) patients, 33 (67 %) patients had marked regression of neurological symptoms. Range of motion in all patients was considered as good.

Conclusion. The full clinical, neurological and X-ray examination should be performed for injuries to the lower cervical spine. Anterior fusion with the use of porous nickelide titanium implants and plate CSLP fixation provides a stable fixation of damaged spine and implements early rehabilitation of the patient.

Key words: the lower cervical spine injures; interbody fusion; mortality.

Objective - to evaluate the influence of combined anesthesia based on the peripheral nerve blockade on the regimen and duration of respiratory support after surgical procedures for the extremities in polytrauma.

Materials and methods. The study included 68 patients with polytrauma at the age of 15-65, with surgery of extremities in the acute and early periods of the traumatic disease. In dependence on the anesthesia method all patients were divided into two groups, with 34 patients in each one.  The main group received the combined anesthesia based on the peripheral blockade of the nerve trunks and plexuses. The control group received general anesthesia with ALV based on the ataralgesia and nitrogen oxide. The statistical analysis of the change of the respiratory support regimens and their duration in patients of the different groups in the course of operative intervention and postoperative period was carried out.

Results. The respiratory support regimens in patients of the main group in the course of operative intervention and postoperative period did not vary from the preoperative values. Change of the ventilation parameters in the control group was the statistically significant (p = 0.0036). The patients in the spontaneous respiration and adjuvant regimens of ALV (n = 21) were changed over the forced ventilation. The reversion to the reference conditions took at the average (Ì ± m) 7.1 ± 0.7 hours after surgery completion. The common duration of ALV (p=0.043) and time duration of the wholly forced ventilation (p=0.006) in the main group were less than in the control one. There were not the statistically significant differences between time duration of the adjuvant regimens (p=0.37).

Conclusion. Combined anesthesia based on the peripheral blockades of the nerve trunks and plexuses during the surgical procedures for the extremities in the polytrauma early period contrary to the general anesthesia allow not to change the respiratory support regimens carried out before procedure. As well as it decreases the duration of the respiratory support in polytrauma.    

Key words: regional anesthesia; peripheral nerve block; polytrauma; artificial lung ventilation.

Objective – to identify the key patterns in the changing epidemiology of acute appendicitis and acute cholecystitis in a large industrial center (Novokuznetsk) and the impact of priority use of minimally invasive operations on the results of treatment.

Materials and Methods. The study included patients who underwent surgery with the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and acute cholecystitis in the Clinical Hospital # 1 and # 29 during 10 years. The patients in both nosology divided into groups: comparison group (2000-2004) and the main one (2006-2010).

Results. The number of emergency cholecystectomy in the main group in the Clinical Hospital # 1 increased by 268 operations, in the Clinical Hospital # 29 - by 218. The mean age increased at the expense of the "50-59" group in the both hospitals. The female patients prevailed in the groups. Their ratio did not change. Endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques in the study group of the Clinical Hospital ¹ 1 reduced the number of complications by 3.5 %. The mortality rate decreased more than twice. The average postoperative hospital stay decreased by 3.6 days. In the study group in the Clinical Hospital # 29 the rate of complications decreased by 0.3 %, and the mortality rate decreased by 0.5 %. The postoperative hospital stay reduced by 1.9 days.

The number of patients with surgery of acute appendicitis increased by 200 patients in two hospitals. Significant changes in the age and sex were absent.

Objective – to study the diagnostic and predictive value of neopterin, clinical laboratory parameters, apoptosis proteins and intoxication indices in patients with acute severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Materials and methods. 53 patients with severe TBI were examined from 1st to 16th days. The age, sex, change of Glasgow coma scale and APACHE II, types and terms of purulent septic complications, as well as lethality were examined. In the blood serum the levels of neopterin, protein S100, cytokine profiles, proteins of acute phase of inflammation, endotoxemia indices and apoptotic soluble proteins were measured. The control group included 21 healthy individuals.

Results. In severe TBI the relation was found between neopterin  and state severity, lethality, development of pneumonia, level of IL1β proinflammatory cytokine, the number of IL1β-dependent proteins (albumin, C-reactive protein, α1-acid glycoprotein, α1- antitrypsin, fibrinogen, C1-inhibitor of esterase, von Willebrand factor), IL-8 dependent protein lactoferrin and marker of endotoxemia soluble fibrin monomer complex in plasma. In the first day after severe TBI the level of neopterin with threshold of 8.8 nmol/l was predictor of the lethality. Neopterin was not predictor of inflammatory complications. The general predictions accuracy of neopterin level was more than proteins S100.

Conclusion. The findings show the necessity of including neopterin as an early predictor of clinical outcome in patients with severe TBI.

Key words: severe traumatic brain injury; neopterin; predictive significance.

Actuality. Currently the number of the combined forms of infertility is increasing. In this regard the choice of the modern approaches to diagnostics and treatment of infertile women assumes great importance.      

Objective – to evaluate the efficiency of the different examination methods in diagnostics of tubal peritoneal infertility.

Materials and methods. The complex examination including X-ray, ultrasound and endoscopic methods was performed for 2175 women with infertility. The mean age was 29.8 ± 4.35. The mean duration of infertility was 5.8 ± 3.4.   

Results. Radiological hysterosalpingography was the effective method for diagnostics of tubal infertility, with the diagnostic sensitivity 91 % and the specificity 57 %. Sonohysterosalpingoscopy was efficient in diagnostics of combined gynecologic pathology in the patients with infertility. Furthermore, its usage is safe for the patients with allergic reactions to iodic preparations and decreased ovarian reserve. Multispiral computer hysterosalpingography showed the high efficiency in diagnostics of uterine tubal pathology (96.7 %) in combination with diseases of uterus and ovaries, adhesive process in small pelvis cavity and bony skeletal pathology. The complex endoscopic examination allowed to identify the tubal peritoneal factor of infertility in 1257 (57.8 %) of the patients. Among them the combined forms of infertility were identified in 74.9 % (942). The predictive favorable factors for uterine pregnancy after surgical treatment were the estimate of distal uterine tube less than 10 points, salpingoscopic values less than 16 points and the degree of severity of adhesive process in small pelvis less than 39.                   

Conclusion. The effective methods for tubal patency screening are hysterosalpingography, sonohysterosalpingoscopy, multispiral computer hysterosalpingography. Each method has its own indications. The complex endoscopic examination showed the greatest information capacity in identification of the causes of infertility, choice of treatment and prediction of reproductive outcomes. The adherence to the algorithm of the examination in the patients with infertility allowed 10 times reduction in the terms of determining of an accurate diagnosis (from 3.25 ± 0.25 years to 0.25 ± 0.01 years, p < 0.05) and treatment duration from 5.2 ± 0.3 years to 1.5 ± 0.2 years (p < 0.05).           

Key words: hysterosalpingography; sonohysterosalpingoscopy; multispiral computer hysterosalpingography; laparoscopy; tubal infertility; hysteroscopy.

Objective – to give the pathomorphological characteristics of bone tissue in head of femur and to study the values of bone metabolism and its hormonal regulation (parathormone, calcitonin, somatotropic hormone) in coxarthrosis.   

Materials and methods. The study included 10 patients with clinical diagnosed coxarthrosis of III-IV degree. The estimation of mineral metabolism state with consideration of hormonal regulation and the associated factors, as well as activity of remodeling processes, was performed on the base of the study of the levels of total calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and alkaline phosphatase activity. The morphological study was performed in 15 cases using the specialized software with measurement of thickness of bone rods and their square in histological sections.

Results. According to the study results of the specimen of femur heads the histological picture does not go against the earlier investigations and gives evidence of the degenerative dystrophic changes in the bone and cartilage tissue in coxarthrosis. The thickness of the bone rods in all three studied locations increased on average by 34.7 % (p < 0.05) compared to the control group.

The square of the bone rods in the section I statistically does not differ from the values in the similar section in the control group (p > 0.05), and in the sections II and III it decreases on average by 24.1 % (p < 0.05).

The laboratory study showed the decrease of the calcium levels by 7.6 %, magnesium – by 13.2 %, somatotropic hormone – by 33.4 % compared to the control group. It was found that in the group with coxarthrosis the levels of osteocalcin and calcitonin were 50 % lower compared to the control group. As for PTH, its level was constant compared to the control group.       

There was no correlation between the duration of the disease and the pathomorphological changes both in articular surface tissue and spongy substance of femur head.   

Conclusion.

1. Pathomorphological changes in tissue of femur head in coxarthrosis are accompanied by decrease of square of the bone rods in the middle and the deep sections of the spongeous bone of femur head. These changes are associated with decrease of the level of parathormone in the blood serum and don’t depend on disease duration.  

2. The changes of mineral metabolism values in patients with coxarthrosis are characterized by decrease of levels of calcium, phosphorus and activity of the hormones (calcitonin, somatotropic hormone) at the background of the constant level of parathormone in the blood serum that testifies the decrease of the bone tissue matrix synthesis and preservation of the processes of resorption in bone tissue.

Key words: coxarthrosis; morphometry; thickness of bone rods; bone tissue resorption.

In the conditions of modern production the growth of diseases of musculoskeletal system is noted.

Objective – the study of the structure of musculoskeletal pathology of working in conditions of physical activity for restoration of the broken functions.

Materials and methods. In the clinic of the centre of occupational medicine and pathology the examination and treatment of 88 women at the age of 44.2 ± 6.3 was carried out.

Results. In 78.3 % of cases the women had signs of two nosological entities, in 35 % – 3. The production factors contributing to the formation of musculoskeletal system was the increased severity and intensity of work, the total vibration. The structure of diseases of musculoskeletal system includes: cervical osteochondrosis – 42 %, osteoarthritis of the joints of the upper extremities – 20 %. The localization of pain corresponds to the main production factor. The risk of chronic pain of the middle degree was detected in 40 %, high risk – in 11.6 % in the group with the length of experience 22.4 ± 7.8 years and in 10.7 % of workers in the comparison group. Restriction of movements did not comply with the distribution of the pain in VAS. A moderate decrease in the strength of the hand was observed in 3 women in the subgroup with the experience of 8.5 ± 2.7 and in 8 women in the subgroup with the experience 22.4 ± 7.8 years. The slight decrease in the strength of the hand was observed in 7 women of the group of comparison (p = 0.04). In determining the vibration sensitivity in 4 workers in the subgroup with the experience of 22.4 ± 7.8 the threshold of the vibration sensitivity to perceive at all frequencies was determined on the top border of the age norms. In the subgroup with the experience 22.4 ± of 7.8 the level of 8-OHdG (the marker of oxidative DNA damage) was 524.26  ±  96.4 mmol/cm3, in the group of comparison – 73.61 ± 66.16 mmol/cm3 (p = 0,000).

Conclusion. The timely diagnosis of the initial manifestations of musculoskeletal system disorders and realization of complex therapy once years in the conditions of the centre of occupational medicine and pathology with subsequent treatment in the conditions of health centre can restore the ability to work in main profession.

Key words: microtrauma in physical strain; factor of production; wellness program.

The problem of treatment of patients with spinal fractures and spinal cord injury has its actuality as before. According to the literature data the incidence of spinal cord injury is up to 10 % among all locomotorium injuries. In the general structure of nervous system injuries the spinal cord injury in adults accounts for 4.9 – 5.3 %. Traumatic injuries of dural sack in conjunction with spinal fractures are identified in 7.5 – 19 % of the cases.

Objective – to present the clinical case of the treatment of the patient with severe spine and spinal cord trauma using microsurgical technique and the modern fixation methods. 

Materials and methods. The case is presented including the patient P., age of 39, with severe spine and spinal cord injury at the level of thoracolumbar passage as result of road traffic incident. There was disorder of spinal cord function at admission: ASIA A. The examination was performed. Due to emergency indications the operations were carried out: 

1. Diagnostic laparoscopy.   

2. Laminectomy Th11, Th12, open reduction of Th11 dislocation, posterior spondylodesis, transpedicular fixation of Th10, Th11-L1, L2, spinal cord revision, dura mater plastics.   

Results. At the background of the performed complex treatment of the patient with severe spine trauma and spinal cord injury the partial self-care was achieved. The patient had active sitting position. He could confidently stand in knee-elbow position for a long time and independently move in the wheelchair. The neurologic status shows the disorders in spinal cord injury: ASIA B.

Conclusion. The surgical treatment of the patients with severe injuries to spine and spinal cord should be performed during 4-6 hours after trauma in a specialized center with using of microsurgical techniques and the modern fixation methods. That results in improving of disturbed functions of spinal cord.    

Key words: spine trauma; spinal cord compression, spine surgery, spinal cord meninges injuries.

Background. Ongoing external bleeding remains one of the main causes of pre-hospital death of injured. The significant progress in the field of creation and modification of a new class of medicines – local haemostatic agents – has happened over ten years.

Objective – to systematize data about structure and mechanism of action of the modern local haemostatic agents, to propose preliminary algorithm for external hemorrhage control.

Methods. A literature of 21st century and current scientific papers devoted to the use of local haemostatic agents in ongoing massive bleeding has been reviewed.

Results. In this particular paper a contribution of distinguished Russian scientists A.P. Nelyubin, N.I. Pirogov to the problem of medicines modification for local haemostasis has been reflected. A comparison of the main modern local haemostatic agents divided into three groups in association with action mechanism (coagulation factors activators, mucoadhesive agents, procoagulants) is shown. Action mechanism, adverse effects, experimental and clinical effectiveness are described in details for each group.

Conclusion. Although there is no fully safe local haemostatic agent with absolute efficacy today, it is considered agents based on zeolite and chitosan to be more acceptable because of their high-effectiveness confirmed in clinical practice, i.e. in combat environment. It is more reasonable to deliver haemostatic agent to the source of bleeding using special slurry, impregnated dressings and rolls for robust hemostasis and adverse effects reduction.

Key words: bleeding; hemostasis; local haemostatic agent; emergency care; injury.

12th scientific practical course of polytrauma management “Beyond ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support)” was held in Aachen, Germany, from November, 30 to December, 1, 2012. The scientific program contained 40 lections with free discussion devoted to the main challenges of diagnosis and treatment of polytrauma. One of the session presented video transmission from a mortuary and the interactive discussion of immediate and urgent surgical operations: decompressive craniotomy, thoracotomy, laparotomy with liver tamponade, extraperitoneal pelvic packing. The practical part of the course included an opportunity to fulfill the external fixation of pelvic fractures using C-clamp, to use mini-invasive anterior internal fixation for pelvic fractures or internal fixation of the flail chest.

During discussion the special attention was given to a definition of “polytrauma”, because there is still no clear unified term. In diagnosis of polytrauma it was suggested to have in view not only injury pattern, but also account one of the following signs: 1) unconsciousness (GCS ≤ 8); 2) hypotension (systolic blood pressure less than 90 mm Hg); 3) acidosis (BE ≤ 6.0); 4) coagulopathy (INR ≥ 1.4); 5) age (more than 70). Among other things discussed during the course the following issues were presented: stabilization of the flail chest, treatment of open long bone fractures, major vascular extremity trauma, treatment of unstable pelvic fractures, and peculiarities of combat trauma based on the Operation Enduring Freedom (War in Afghanistan).

Key words: congress; trauma; wound; polytrauma; bone fractures; osteosynthesis.
