IMPROVEMENT OF THE METHODOLOGY OF BIOMATERIAL COLLECTION FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE ORAL CAVITY MUCOSA DISEASES.

Aim - to improve the methodology for collecting material from lesions of the oral mucosa for exfoliative cytological examination. A group of patients diagnosed with B37.0 Candida stomatitis was examined. To clarify the diagnosis, various methods of collecting biological material from the tongue of patients were used, namely, the method using a cytobrush with subsequent fixation of cytological material on a slide. The microbiota of the back of the tongue was analyzed in 12 patients with glossitis and 12 healthy subjects (the control group). The microscopic method of research was used - using an immersion microscope MICROmed@XS-3330, and the morphological and tinctorial properties of microorganisms were determined. In ten fields of view, the number of leukocytes, the nature of epithelial cells, and the presence of various microorganisms were detected and counted. A comparison of the quality of the use of the microscope method for the study of the tongue microbiota of patients with candidal glossitis was performed under the conditions of taking pathological material using a dental scalpel and an oral cytobrush. For a reasonable interpretation of the results and determination of their significance, a statistical analysis was performed to determine the frequency of detection of microorganisms in patients with glossitis and healthy subjects, depending on the nature of the material taken from the back of the tongue using a dental scalpel or cytobrush. The studies showed that the etiologic structure of glossitis pathogens was dominated by Candida yeast-like fungi, but cases of leptotrichosis aetiology were observed (16.7%). Monococci and gram-negative monobacteria were detected in all studied groups. An increase in the diversity of microorganisms was found when the material was taken with a cytobrush. The microbiota of all subjects differed depending on the type of instrument used for sampling. Thus, in the group of healthy individuals, the interdental brush helped to detect twice as many streptococci as a scalpel. In patients with candidiasis, a brush biopsy showed a 2.7-fold increase in gram-positive diplococci, twice as many streptococci and gram-positive bacilli, three times as many staphylococci, 2.25 times as many clusterforming gram-negative cocci, and 2.3 times as many gram-negative diplococci. A significant increase in the diversity of microorganisms was observed with the cytobrush compared to the use of a dental scalpel. In patients with glossitis, the accumulation of keratinized epithelial cells was significantly higher compared to the presence of young cells in healthy subjects, regardless of the method of sampling.

HERBAL MEDICINES ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECT.

The aim - to study and compare the sensitivity of museum strains of microorganisms to the herbal medicines. Standard strains of S. aureus ATCC 25923, S. epidermidis ATCC 14990, E. faecalis ATCC 29212, E. coli ATCC 25922 and C. albicans ATCC 10231 were used for the microbiological examination. Antimicrobial activity of the herbal medicines was studied by the disk diffusion method and serial dilutions method according to European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing. According to the obtained results E. coli standard strain is maximally sensitive to tymsal. Enterococci were statistically significant high sensitive to panavir only. Museum strain of S.epidermidis was 2.17 more sensitive to tymsal than to chlorhexidine control (p<0.05). Yeast like fungi standard strain was the most sensitive to proteflazid. Growth inhibition zone was showing the sensitiveness of C.albicans to this herbal medicine, the fungicidal activity was statistically significantly higher than chlorhexidine effect in 1.2 times (p<0.05). Analysis of microorganism's sensitivity to the herbal medicines action had showed the best antimicrobial activity of herbal medicines tymsal, panavir and proteflazid compared to traditional drugs.

[DYNAMICS OF BACTERIOLOGICAL AND PLANIMETRIC INDICES OF THE WOUND UNDER THE ACTION OF THE SILVER NANOPARTICLES, STABILIZED BY MEXIDOL AND POLYVINYLPYRROLIDONE].

Changes in bacteriological indices through the square of the wound of chemical origin under local impact of the silver nanoparticles (NP), stabilized by 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine succinate (mexidol) and polyvinylpyrrolidone were studied. The wounds of submandibular region were simulated in white rats, using injection of 10% solution of calcium chloride with further opening of necrotic foci and open management of the wound. Beginning from the fifth day, every day the wound was irrigated with liquid, which have contented the stabilized NP of the silver, 0.05% water solution of chlorhexidine or isotonic solution of the the sodium chloride (control). There was established, that the silver NP impact antiseptically and regenerative while the wound treatment, and reduce during 10 days microbial contamination of exudate in 24 times, the wound square--in three times in comparison with original indices. These changes were identical to those while application of chlorhexidine.
