In modern realities of peace and military trauma there are an increasing number of scar skin defects, often accompanied by pronounced subjective sensations and tissue functional limitations. An urgent task is the scientific substantiation of effective methods of their correction. OBJECTIVE. To determine healing effects and safety of using ultraphonophoresis of enzyme gel with high transcutaneous and proteolytic activity in patients with scarring on the skin. MATERIALS AND METHODS. There was examination of 82 patients with emerging (N=21 study group, N=16 comparison group) and mature (N=25 study group, N=20 comparison group) scar skin of different localizations at the rehabilitation stage after various injuries, burns, removal of skin neoplasms. The study applied clinical and functional methods in the assessment of scar tissue, medical and sociological methods in evaluating patients’ quality of life and safety profile. RESULTS. There were improved clinical indicators and functional skin properties in the scar area, a significant regression of subjective sensations, an increased quality of life score, more pronounced in the study groups. Dynamics of clinical indicators is more expressed in group 1 and group 3. Vascularization values before and after treatment in the groups were: in group 1 and 3 before treatment - 6,4±0,93 and 5,8±0,25, after - 3,0±0,24 and 2,7±0,31, respectively; in group 2 the values before and after treatment were 5,6±0,26 и 4,2±0,62, respectively, in group 4 – before treatment 4,9±0,53, after - 4,1±0,48. As a result of dynamics of the quality of life indicators, a more significant improvement was found in the study groups with respect to the comparison groups. In the group with emerging scars the sum of points before treatment was 20,4±0,3, after treatment - 12,4±0,3; in the comparison group - 18,7±0,5 and 13,4±0,5 before and after treatment, respectively; in the group with mature scars: before treatment - 23,6±0,3, after - 13,7±0,4; in the comparison group - 21,3±0,4 и 16,2±0,5 before and after treatment, respectively. A favorable safety profile of treatment was defined: adverse events (tingling, burning) were transient and fully cupped after the procedure. DISCUSSION. Ultraphonophoresis, one of the man methods in the transdermal delivery, contributes to changing the epidermal barrier permeability for molecules of various drugs as well as potentiation for actions of anti-scarring agents at different stages of emerging and existing scar skin defects. CONCLUSION. Ultraphonophoresis of the enzyme gel with a high transcutaneous and proteolytic activity has fibromodulating and sedative curative effects in patients with scarring skin of different genesis and duration.","PeriodicalId":175902,"journal":{"name":"Marine Medicine","volume":"13 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139255459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analyze the causes and conditions for chronic generalized periodontitis, study means of preventive health care through individual oral hygiene. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study analyzed the scientific literature, devoted to casual factors and conditions of developing chronic generalized periodontitis, its influence on the health of the body and as well as the role of oral hygiene in preventing its onset and progression. Articles in leading domestic dental peer-reviewed publications along with data sources from Pubmed over the past 5 years were analyzed. RESULTS. The literature analysis found that majority of authors acknowledge microbial biofilm microbiota of the oral cavity as the leading etiological factor of periodontitis; such factors as poor oral hygiene, endogenous and exogenous erythrocyte sorption overload, the impact of physical environmental factors – external electromagnetic fields and vibrations affect the progression of the disease. Meanwhile, measures of professional oral hygiene и normalization of individual oral hygiene allows to significantly reduce the risk of emerging and progressing chronic generalized periodontitis. DISCUSSION. By category visits patients, suffering from CGP, were distributed as follows: 61,6 ± 0,7 % people – retirees of Russian Defense Ministry, 16,5 ± 0,5 % people – family members of military men and retired of RDM, 16,3 ± 0,5 % – military men, attached to the dentistry clinic of RDM military units and institutions, 5,7 ± 0,3 % – RMD cadets. Means of individual oral hygiene, relevant for the prevention of periodontitis, include about 15 items. Part of them are classified as traditional, and the proper application of some of them requires additional training, including in the framework of special medical training during hygiene education work and health promotion. The authors came to a conclusion about the expediency of increasing the number of dentists to intensify the prevention of dental caries and periodontal diseases among military men through professionally monitored oral hygiene. CONCLUSION. The high prevalence and intensity of dental system diseases among military men shows the relevance of regular sanitation of their oral cavity. Systematic implementation of individual oral hygiene measures decreases the number of bacteria in the mouth, prevents the development of severe overall body response to inflammation, contributes to a significant reduction in the number of exacerbation of concomitant somatic diseases that improves overall health and people’s quality of life. Professionally monitored oral hygiene, oral hygiene education and motivation for applying modern hygiene products are considered as the basis of oral disease prevention.","PeriodicalId":175902,"journal":{"name":"Marine Medicine","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139257305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the study Wister rats (n = 30) were used. The animals were placed in the chamber and there was air compression up to 9 АТА with exposure under pressure within 15 min. Decompression was carried out by pressure release with imitation of emergency ascent. After 5 minutes there was recompression by air up to АТА, isopressure within 10 minutes and elongated decompression. During recompression, further decompression and 2 hours after its completion the animals experienced behavioral response and signs of compression disorder development. RESULTS: The study showed that the test group where the animals’ exposure under 9 ATA completed with the planned decompression on the regime did not experience any behavioral disorder and reflexes of posture during and after decompression. There were also no registered gas bubbles in the brain. Similar results were obtained in the test group with emergency ascent, recompression and further elongated decompression, but not in the group with emergency ascent without recompression. DISCUSSION: The application of the proposed recompression method after imitation of emergency ascent leads to neither visual nor morphologically registered signs of decompression disorders. Along with a shorter period of recompression and decompression as compared with the ones, described in regulatory documents, it allows to adopt the proposed method for reducing the loss of time and resources while maintaining diver’s health and performance after emergency ascent.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanisms of “pressure diuresis” under the action of high gaseous medium pressure and determine the physiological nature of this phenomenon in divers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 44 men aged 19–23 were examined. In the first study all the subjects had initial sustainability to hyperbaric adverse factors (decompression gas formation – DG, hypoxic hypoxia – HH, nitrogen toxic effect – NTE and oxygen toxic effect – OTE). Hormonal status and body’s osmotic homeostasis rates were defined in all the subjects. The second study evaluated changes of the subjects’ water-electrolyte metabolism, kidney function and osmotic homeostasis during the oral loading renal test with the water load in the baseline and conditions of hyperbaric adverse factor exposure on divers. Statistics: To perform statistical analysis, application packages of Statistica for Windows 10.0 were used. RESULTS: 17 (38,6 %), 29 (65,9 %), 20 (45,5 %) and 35 (79,6 %) subjects had medium and low resistance to DG, HH, OTE and NTE, respectively; 27 (61,4 %), 15 (34,1 %), 24 (54,5 %) and 9 (20,4 %) subjects had high resistance to DG, HH, OTE and NTE. Increase in the concentration of antidiuretic hormone was identified in the diving group with low and medium resistance to NTE, HH, and OTE (by 146,8, 141,1 and 93,2 %, respectively, compared to the results before hyperbaric adverse factor exposure). The highest concentration increase of aldosterone was found among the divers with low and medium resistance to OTE, DG and HH (by 41,5, 39,1 and 36,2 %, respectively). The increase in blood plasma osmolality was observed in the subjects with low and medium resistance to OTE (an increase by 6,6 % compared to the divers with high resistance). A significant reduction in blood plasma osmolality was recorded in the subject group with low and medium resistance to NTE and HH (reduction by 5,2 and 4,2 %, compared to the group with high resistance). The most significant decrease in urine osmolality was identified in the diving group with low and medium resistance to DG and OTE (reduction by 14,5 and 17,7 %, respectively). A significant increase in urine osmolality under the action of hyperbaric factors was defined in the diving group with low and medium resistance to NTE and HH (by 19,8 and 19,3 %). DISCUSSION: The data obtained indicate the emergence of a new body hydration status during person’s staying in hyperbaric conditions.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: There was a dental examination of 169 men, aged 22-52 on long voyage, who got full treatment and preventive measures of oral rehabilitation in the pre-deployment period in a time manner. The seafarers were divided into 2 groups. The 1st group included 57 seamen, who were part of the crew. The 2nd group consisted of 112 men, who were training and had the first long voyage. The oral mucosa diagnosis was based on a clinic examination. When identifying pathology, treatment was provided and there were anti-relapse measures after its completion, which were possible given the people on board on long voyage. RESULTS: It was found that the structure of oral mucosa is quite different among people of the 1st and 2nd groups. The pathology among the crew occurred more often due to the autoimmune component of pathogenesis in 5,26% and 0,9% cases respectively, while the people in the 2nd group, being on long voyage as part of their training, experienced infectious oral mucosa pathology (12,28% and 15,32% respectively) significantly more often, and also lesions of the lips due to meteorological factors in 8,77% and 10,81% cases accordingly.
