The Pathogenetic Concept of the Diagnostic-Treatment Approach for Patients with Purulent-Septic Complications

Abstract

Background: The significant improvement of immediate and long-term functional results of treating patients is the fundamental problem of modern medical science. A deep understanding of the pathogenesis is the key point in creating the management strategy for patients with various diseases. Information about the mechanisms of origin and development of purulent-inflammatory diseases and sepsis is essential for finding effective ways to prevent and treat them. The aim of the research is to use the method of fluorescence spectroscopy in creating the pathogenetic diagnostic and treatment model for the prevention and treatment of purulent-inflammatory diseases and sepsis, modification of treatment tactics, search for new markers of pu-rulent-septic diseases, as well as monitoring of patients during the treatment. Materials and methods: The proposed approach, along with standard diagnostic methods, was used to organize the treatment process of 100 patients with purulent-inflammatory diseases, including 15 patients with sepsis, 35 with acute inflammatory abdominal pathology, 20 patients with burn injury (main group) and 35 patients with burn injury (comparison group). Results: The behavior of spectral-fluorescent characteristics in their dynamics has been studied, and the new markers for assessing patients’ conditions have been proposed. Their effectiveness for the diagnosis of purulent-septic diseases has been proved, which advances the results of standard research methods by 24 - 48 hours. Conclusions: The proposed diagnostic and treatment approach is fundamentally important for diagnosis and monitoring during the treatment of patients with purulent-septic diseases. Particularly relevant is the proposal to ) albumin molecules. We also present the ratio between the lowest excited and main states and the corresponding positions of the maxima of the fluorescence bands of the BS (λ max ) of normal and pathological albumin molecules. We also present the relationship between the energy differences and t E between the lowest excited and main states and the corresponding positions of the maxima of the fluorescence bands of the BS ( max a λ max t λ ) of normal and pathological albumin molecules.
