RESUMO
Investigation of ultrastructural peculiarities of morpho-functional changes of macrophages have been studied with the purpose of determining the dynamics and thrust of destructive-necrotic processes in these cells when the ischemic-gangrenous form of diabetic foot syndrome develops show what under the influence of intravenous ozone therapy stimulant effect on functional activity and beneficial effect on elimination, mainly due to genetically programmed cell death (apoptosis), playing a significant role in the regulatory mechanisms of the inflammatory process. The stimulation of macrophages functional activity under the influence of ozone, as well as the presence of destructive changes in such cells without necrotizing lesions, is explained by the inclusion of the mechanism of apoptosis as a positive factor in the regulation of local homeostasis at the completion of the inflammatory (exudative) stage of the wound process.
