[The use of retinoids to stimulate the regenerative process in trepanation cavity after "open" sanitizing surgery on the middle ear]. / Primenenie retinoidov dlya stimulyatsii regenerativnogo protsessa v trepanatsionnoi polosti posle «otkrytoi¼ saniruyushchei operatsii na srednem ukhe.

INTRODUCTION: One of the methods of surgical treatment of patients with chronic purulent otitis media is an "open" sanitizing surgery on the middle ear. One of its important features is the formation of a wound surface that communicates with the external environment, which subsequently leads to infection, lengthening the time for epithelization, and in 13-30% of cases, the latter is incomplete with the development of a "trepanation cavity disease". OBJECTIVE: To establish the nature of the effect of retinoid-based drugs on the severity of the inflammatory process and the regeneration processes in the tissues of the trepanation cavity after sanitizing operations on the middle ear. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The subjects of the study were 78 patients who underwent the first "open" sanitizing operation on the middle ear. At the final stage, turunda with a 1% dioxin solution in combination with a sterile ointment of 13-cis-retinoic acid, concentration 0.05% was injected into the postsurgery cavity. 30 patients additionally took 13-cis-retinoic acid in tablet form. In the control group, retinoids were not used. CONCLUSION: The obtained data allow us to recommend the use of retinoid-based drugs as a means of suppressing the inflammatory reaction and stimulating the regeneration process in the trepanation cavity after an "open" sanitizing surgery on the middle ear.

[The influence of retinoids on the regeneration of an open osteal wound]. / Vliianie retinoidov na regeneratsiiu otkrytoi kostnoi rany.

The objective of the present study was to elucidate the influence of retinoid-based pharmaceutical products on the process of regeneration of the tissues surrounding an open osteal wound under the experimental conditions. The experiments were carried out using 20 'Sovetskaya shinshilla' rabbits (12 males and 8 females). The animals with the modelled open osteal wound underwent daily treatment by the placement of the dressings impregnated with a mixture of dioxo-methyltetrahydropyrimidine and chloramphenicol ointments supplemented by 0.05% retinoic acid (1:1:1). The rabbits of the control group were treated using the dressings impregnated only with a mixture of dioxo-methyltetrahydropyrimidine and chloramphenicol ointments containing no retinoic acid. The study has demonstrated that the application of the retinoid-based medications for the treatment of the open osteal wound resulted in the well apparent positive dynamics of the wound process in comparison with that in the control animals. It is concluded that the data obtained give evidence that retinoid-based preparations can be used as an adjuvant treatment for the acceleration and promotion of the wound healing process in the trepanation cavity following sanation surgery on the middle ear.
