[Invasive mucormycosis affecting maxillofacial region in oncohematological patients undergoing chemotherapeutic treatment and transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells]. / Invazivnyi mukormikoz s porazheniem organov chelyustno-litsevoi oblasti u onkogematologicheskikh bol'nykh na fone khimioterapevticheskogo lecheniya i transplantatsii gemopoeticheskikh stvolovykh kletok.

The aim of the work is to attract the attention of specialists: dentists, oncologists, hematologists to thorough sanitation of the oral cavity of patients preparing for chemotherapy treatment, to transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells. Two clinical cases described in the article were observed at the R.M. Gorbacheva First Saint-Petersburg State Medical University from 2010 to 2019. They confirm the possibility of the occurrence of infectious complications with damage to the maxillofacial region caused by rare pathogens of invasive mycosis, which debuted as an odontogenic inflammatory process. The success of the treatment of Invasive Mycosis depends on early diagnosis and antimycotic therapy; active surgical tactics in relation to the affected tissues in a controlled course of the underlying disease and the restoration of effective hematopoiesis.

[Non-Langengars type of sinus histiocytosis with maxillofacial skin lesions (Rosai-Dorfman disease). Clinical case description]. / Sinusovyi gistiotsitoz nelangengarsnogo tipa s porazheniem kozhi chelyustno-litsevoi oblasti (bolezn' Rozai­Dorfmana). Klinicheskoe nablyudenie.

In maxillofacial surgery, there are periodic cases of long-lasting chronic inflammation of the soft tissues without the positive effect of the conservative treatment. In these cases, questions arise of a detailed analysis of the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease, differential diagnosis of the pathological process, including those rarely encountered in the practice of a maxillofacial surgeon. One of these diseases is Rosai Dorfman's disease, which refers to extranodal histiocytosis. In domestic and foreign literature, single clinical observations are found without a detailed analysis of the diagnostic algorithm and the choice of treatment tactics. This article presents a clinical case of Rosai-Dorfman disease of a 55-year-old patient with a lesion of the soft tissues of the maxillofacial region. The described case took place in the clinic of maxillofacial surgery of the Research Institute of Dentistry of Surgical and Maxillofacial Surgery PSPbGMU named after academician I.P. Pavlova in the period from 2016 to 2019. Given the complexity of the diagnosis of this rare nosological form, we offer a specific examination algorithm that leads to a multidisciplinary comprehensive approach from disease verification to the choice of treatment tactics.

[THE TECHNOLOGY "CELL BLOCK" IN CYTOLOGICAL PRACTICE].

The article presents summary information concerning application of "cell block" technology in cytological practice. The possibilities of implementation of various modern techniques (immune cytochemnical analysis. FISH, CISH, polymerase chain reaction) with application of "cell block" method are demonstrated. The original results of study of "cell block" technology made with gelatin, AgarCyto and Shadon Cyoblock set are presented. The diagnostic effectiveness of "cell block" technology and common cytological smear and also immune cytochemical analysis on samples of "cell block" technology and fluid cytology were compared. Actually application of "cell block" technology is necessary for ensuring preservation of cell elements for subsequent immune cytochemical and molecular genetic analysis.
