[Biodegradable implants and antiseptics for the treatment of postoperative osteomyelitis].

The combined use of biocomposite tissue <> and antiseptic solution <> in the treatment of postoperative osteomyelitis of long tubular bones was analyzed. The most antiseptic active <> modification was defined at the experimental part of the study. The clinical part was based on the analysis of treatment results of 70 patients, aged 20-69 years with chronic postoperative osteomyelitis of long tubular bones. Main group consisted of 38 patients, the other comprised the control group. The study concluded that the use of <> tissue combined with intraoperative <> application leads to a reduction of suppurative complications and early osteomyelitis recurrences, allows to shorten a hospital-stay period and improves early and long-term operative results.

[Determination of antioxidative potential of biological fluids by using semiconductor chemical sensors]. / Opredelenie antioksidatnogo potentsiala biologicheskikh zhidkostei s pomoshch'iu poluprovodnikovykh khimicheskikh sensorov.

A procedure has been developed for determining the concentrations of superoxide anion radical (SOAR) in aprotonic fluids by using semiconductor chemical sensors. SOAR life in pure solutions is 6.3 hours. Supplements of biological fluids (blood, urine, plasma) increase the rate of SOAR death. There is a great difference in the reaction rate of SOAR with biological fluids in apparently healthy and ill individuals. It is suggested that the above procedure opens vistas both for studies of vital activity and for diagnosis of abnormalities.
