[Immunological and biochemical indices during the use of hyperbaric oxygenation for treating patients with jaw deformities]. / Immunologicheskie i biokhimicheskie pokazateli pri ispol'zovanii giperbaricheskoi oksigenatsii dlia lecheniia bol'nykh s deformatsiiami cheliustei.

Analysis of changes in the immunologic and biochemical parameters in the patients operated on for congenital deformations of the maxillary bones and poorly joined fractures has shown an increase of the immunologic reactivity under the effect of hyperbaric oxygenation therapy administered after surgery to patients with initially reduced levels of these parameters. Urinary excretion of hydroxyproline was found unchanged in patients with maxillary deformations.

[The morphofunctional characteristics of the dystrophic and reparative processes in experimental autodermoplasty using a CO2 laser]. / Morfofunktsional'nye kharakteristiki distroficheskikh i reparativnykh protsessov pri autodermoplastike s ispol'zovaniem CO2-lazera v éksperimente.

The aim of this work was research of the morphofunctional features of rabbit free skin flaps after CO2 laser and scalpel interventions. pO2, histologic and histochemical data were analyzed. The results evidence an insignificant delay of the pO2 growth in laser-treated flaps early after surgery. This fact hints at a low speed of laser-treated flaps vascularization because of wound coagulation necrosis. However, this does not influence the course of the reparative process. Our conclusions are confirmed by histologic and histochemical findings.

[The use of hyperbaric oxygenation for the prevention of complications in local plastic operations on the face and neck]. / Primenenie giperbaricheskoi oksigenatsii dlia profilaktiki oslozhnenii pri mestnoplasticheskikh operatsiiakh na litse i shee.

Studied were 37 patients in which defects and deformations of various etiology were corrected using plastic with local tissues excised from face and neck. Polarography, thermography and thermometry proved that 5 sessions of hyperbaric oxygenation (HO) at 1.5 atm. sharply reduced the incidence of complications after the surgery. This effect was accounted for by providing optimal conditions to accelerate the microcirculatory improvement, oxygen transport and tissue utilization. HO decreased the incidence of complications that influence the reconstructive surgery outcome.
