Dirofilariosis – invasive parasitic disease which can be fatal. Specific course of the disease is the lack of visible signs of the disease at an early stage and make the complexity of diagnosing the disease is especially dangerous, as pet owners may not be aware of what their favorite animal is ill. Until now, according to statistics, dirofilariosis diagnosed by chance during examination before surgery, or carrying out tests for reasons far from suspected dirofilariosis.Dirofilariosis registered in Africa, Asia and Southern Europe. In the United States established endemic areas where there have been outbreaks of helminthiasis annually. The cases were registered in the UK, Sweden, the Netherlands, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Germany, Poland, Russia, Kazakhstan, the republics of the North Caucasus. Now dirofilariosis observed in Kiev, Odessa, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Poltava, Kharkiv and other areas. Today dirofilariosis carnivores and man registered on the territory of 37 states.Numerous published data indicate that most dirofilariosis in the countries of the former Soviet Union caused by two pathogen – Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens.D. repens parasite in the subcutaneous tissue. Another kind of – D. immitis – in the heart, the lungs, the pulmonary artery and other vessels carnivores. Sometimes these nematodes parasitize in unusual places (the brain, the bronchioles, the abdominal cavity, eyes).Dirofilariosis problem for Ukraine is very urgent, because, firstly, the disease among dogs acquires the character of enzootic, secondly, the increase in the number of different types of vectors of infection, in the third, increasing the area of distribution – from the tropics to temperate regions, in the fourth, the difficulties in diagnosis disease and, fifthly, there is lack of training and educational and propaganda work among the population.The aim of our research was to a deeper and more complete definition of the features of microscopic changes in dog heartworm.We used the results of histological examination of samples of pathological material taken from 6 different breeds of dogs that suffered from heartworm. Autopsy was performed by the method of partial evisceration. Microscopic studies were carried out according to conventional techniques.In carrying out investigations following changes were microscopically established: in the lungs – seen interstitial pneumonia, venous hyperemia, hemorrhage, and also discovered microfilariae in the lumen of blood vessels and interstitial tissue. In the myocardium – granular and fatty degeneration, necrosis and destruction of cardiomyocytes in blood vessels – single microfilariae.

The article shows data on the microbial landscape and quantity of somatic cells milk in different forms of mastitis in cows. Index number of somatic cells (SCC) in the raw milk of cows in the country is only used to establish the quality milk. They are key safety indicators that are directly related to udder cow disease, especially subclinical mastitis. Research has established that the number of SCC in healthy animals ranges from 84000 cells/ml to 436000 cells/ml. Over the course of subclinical turned from 508000 cells/ml to 756000 cells/ml. Animals with clinical form of mastitis were from 876000 cells/ml to 69260000 cells/ml. The 42 cows of the first lactation average SCC was 143000 cells/ml, and 47 of fifth lactation cows – 213000 cells/ml.The microflora in the breast can get in different ways: galactogenous – through teat channel hematogenous ahd lymphogenous ways. The leading role galactogenous way in which the pathogens penetrate from the environment through teat channel. This contributes to the udder skin contamination by microorganisms. Activators of subclinical mastitis were Staphylococcus aureus 31.8% and Streptococcus agalactiae 40.9%. In the clinical course of mastitis major pathogens were Escherichia coli – 34.8% and Staphylococcus aureus – 41.3%. Selected cultures of microorganisms were sensitive to cephalexin, gentamicin, oxacillin, rifampicin, enrofloksacin.

The article presents the results of bacteriological tests of five Red-eared slider’s (Trachemys scripta elegans’) organs. Primary inoculations were made from heart, liver, kidney, spleen and lung on commonly used (beef-extract agar-agar and beef-extract broth) and selective culture medium (Endo agar, Xylose-Lysine Deoxycholate agar (XLD Agar), agar PALCAM, salt broths with varying concentrations of NaCl (2%, 5% and 10%)). Because of bacteriology tests from Red-eared slider’s (Trachemys scripta elegans’) organisms there were excreted four microorganisms’ isolates: two Staphylococcus isolates, and one of Klebsiella and one of Yersinia. We have found that strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae is highly sensitive to imipenem, meropenem, sensitive to amikacin, netilmicin. Strains of Yersinia enterocolitica are sensitive to amoxicillin, rifampicin, penicillin and ceftriaxone. Staphylococcus epidermidis (No. 1, 2, 4, 5) strains were highly sensitive to vancomycin and rifampicin, sensitive to gatifloxacin, linezolid. These strains have received PA-11/15 mark. Staphylococcus epidermidis (No. 3) had a sensitivity to methicillin. This difference in our opinion is fundamental, therefore, this strain was isolated and it received Poltava-15 mark. Taking into account that the isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Yersinia enterocolitica selected are pathogenic for the human body and children are particularly sensitive to these pathogens, we consider it necessary to monitor the bacterial background of animals in pet shops and markets.
Stochastic Stability Analysis of Power Control in Wireless Networks via a Norm-inequality-based Approach
Authors: Qian Rongrong , Qi Yuan
Published: October 2016

Owing to the requirements from realistic wireless networks, the stochastic stability analysis for discrete-time power control, which concerns the randomness brought by the fading channels and noise of wireless systems, is of practical significance. By developing a norm-inequality-based framework of analyzing the stochastic stability of linear systems with random parameters, we show that a typical powercontrol law with linear system model is stable in the sense of the pth-moment stability. Several conditions of achieving the pth-moment stability for the considered power-control law are obtained, which can easily applied to realistic wireless networks. Besides, within this study, the stability analysis of power control for the first time takes into account the effect of multiple-access methods.
Physical and reservoir properties prediction for reservoir rocksin unconventional gas-bearing geological structures
Authors: Skakal's'ka L.
Published: October 2016

Research into the behavior of elastic waves in thin-layered gas-bearing geological structures depends on the choice of geophysical and mathematical models of natural geological media and the numerical methods of problem solving. Hence the efficiency of a quasi-homogeneous, isotropic fractured-porous two-phase medium with given physical and mechanical properties. We have suggested a method of calculating empirical relationships between volumetric compression, porosity and pressure in porous rocks of an arbitrary geological region. Data on Zaluzhany wells were used to calculate the correlation and empirical relationships between reservoir properties and parameters of elastic waves and to distinguish dry and oil-gas saturated rocks. The least square technique made it possible to determine the correlation between the compressibility factor of fluid-saturated rocks and their porosity and pressure. Discrimination between oil and water was based on the density parameter. An algorithm has been suggested to do the corresponding calculations.

The theoretical and practical implications of this study are as follows:

– developing a numerical analytical predictive model for interpreting acoustic data on thin-layered rocks which is based on the correlations between their dynamic physical (effective wave propagation velocities, amplitude attenuation coefficients and their energy absorption) and reservoir (porosity, fracturing, compressibility) properties;

– applying the proposed model and software products in geophysical exploration to interpret the geological and geophysical data on the structure and physical characteristics of sections and the physical properties of gas-bearing basins.

In seismic acoustic exploration, the numerical model has to include experimental geological and geophysical data on the peculiarities of rock occurrence in the investigated area, with the physical and mechanical properties of different territories showing considerable variation. Such input data, as well as structural features and scattering properties of rocks (density, bedding, microporosity), ensure a significant increase in the accuracy of the numerical analysis. Preliminary testing was based on the data on the elastic moduli and S-wave velocities for dry and fluid-saturated rocks. Calculations were made of the elastic moduli and P-wave velocities for dry and fluid-saturated rocks of the Western oil and gas region of Ukraine (Zaluzhany-18 and Zaluzhany-19 wells). The aim of this work was to demonstrate the efficiency of the predictive method by examining the reservoir rock properties of the wells and to evaluate their gas saturation using the acoustic logging, geophysical and petrophysical data.
Stepwise development of classical Hodgkin lymphoma from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Authors: Vafaii Pardis , Shao Haipeng
Published: October 2016

Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma rarely develop in the same patient synchronously or metachronously. Through a series of biopsies, we report a unique case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with stepwise development of classical Hodgkin lymphoma. An intermediate stage of transformation was identified with scattered Reed-Sternberg/Hodgkin cells present in a background of the DLBCL cells. These Reed- Sternberg/Hodgkin cells showed typical immunophenotype of cHL cells and were associated with limited inflammatory cells. While Reed-Sternberg/Hodgkin-like cells are not uncommonly seen in a variety of non-Hodgkin lymphomas, the subsequent development of cHL in this patient indicated that the scattered Reed-Sternberg/Hodgkin cells among DLBCL cells truly represented a precursor of cHL. This would be extremely challenging, if not impossible, for pathologists to diagnose. We also highlight the importance of clinicopathological correlation and the crucial role of additional biopsies.

A novel method for the design of total internal reflection based (TIR) optical elements generating complex two-dimensional narrow-angle light distributions is presented. The method consists of two parts: computation of a piecewise smooth solution and its subsequent approximation by a spline surface. Examples of TIR optical elements designed using the proposed approach are discussed. The simulation results demonstrate high performance of the proposed method: the luminous efficacy of the optical elements is 91.8% and the relative root-mean-square error is less than 8.6%.
Besieged fortress syndrome? Occupational group of physicians and medicine students and the problem of social reception of health care system in Poland
Authors: Stempień Jakub Ryszard , Tkaczyk Marcin
Published: October 2016

The paper refers to the problem of decline in public confidence in health care system in Poland. Impartial reports prove that mass media are keen on showing medical mistakes, corruption as well as other thrilling news. The memorable case of “skin-hunters” from Lodz seems to be a good example. This may create the critical public opinion on functionaries of health care system (especially on physicians). Surveys by CBOS show that many of Poles reckon that doctors are incompetent, do not interested in their work and unfair when treating patients. Malevolent public opinion and “scandal-oriented” media coverage should create an hostile environment for functioning of specific occupational groups in health care system. Does it lead to besieged fortress syndrome (meaning consolidation and mobilization of an own professional group, described as not guilty, but unfairly treated by inimical social/institutional surrounding)? In the paper – in the formula of case study – results of own survey among group of 151 physicians from Lodz and 228 students of Faculty of Military Medicine at Medical University of Lodz are investigated. The aim of the research was to identify opinions of physicians and medicine students on how medical occupations were perceived by Polish society. The collected empiric material allowed (at least partially) to verify the hypothesis of besieged fortress syndrome.

Published: October 2016

Persea Americana Avocado is traditionally used for the treatment of various health problems. With its wide claim of medicinal benefits, it is imperative to determine the effects of the extract on some biochemical parameters of the male wistar rats and its tendency to reduce prostate cancer growth. It’s also to determine the extract effect on the histology of the reproductive organs (testes) of the rats. Twenty-four (24) male wistar rats of an average weight of 170g were used for the experiment. The rats were divided into four groups (n=6): Group 1 (control), group II (150mg/kg of avocado extract), group III (300mg/kg of avocado extract, and group IV (200mg/kg of Vitamin E). The administration was for 56 days, and on the 57th day all the animals were sacrificed and their testes harvested. The histology and enzyme histochemistry of the testes conducted. There was a significant decrease in vitamin Glucose-6-phospodehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in rats of groups II and III compared to the control group. Prostatic acid phosphotase (P-AcP) also significantly decreased in groups II and III when compared with the group IV. Avocado and Vitamin E increased body weight and reduce oxidative stress. It also decreased LDH and P-AcP levels in the body, and consequently reducing tendency for cancerous cells growth, and particularly prostate cancer. However, unlike Vitamin E which improved on spermatogenesis, Avocado exert negatively on testicular architecture, germ cells and spermatogenesis.
A Review of Tropical Plants with Antifungal Activities against Plant Fungal Pathogens
Authors: Suprapta Dewa Ngurah
Published: October 2016

Abstract Plant fungal pathogens are frequently found as one of limiting factors for crop production. More than 10,000 species of fungi can cause disease in plants. To control the diseases, many farmers are still rely on the use of chemical fungicides, however most synthetic fungicides can cause acute toxicity, and some cause chronic toxicity as well. Thus, an appropriate technological improvement towards a more effective use of natural resources is required in agriculture to develop environmentally friendly sustainable farming system. This paper highlights the potential of extracts of tropical plants as antifungal agent to control plant fungal diseases. Information and data presented in this paper are mainly derived from selected and related references that previously published in the scientific journals. Many higher plants of tropical origin with fungicidal activities and their potential for fungal disease control of agricultural crops have been studied, however most of the studies have been done under in vitro condition. Some plant extracts showed strong antifungal activities on in vitro as well as in vivo tests, but some plant extracts showed significant antifungal activities on in vitro test, but did not obvious on in vivo tests. A great variation in antifungal activities were shown by plants extracts of different species and plant parts, in one hand, and on the other hand, variation was also observed on the responses of different fungal species to the same plant extract. Since the purpose of the use of plant extract is to control plant fungal diseases, the field trial is needed to ensure the stability of efficacy of certain plant extract. In addition, isolation and identification of active substances in the extracts is needed to assess possible mode of action and side effect of their use.

Published: October 2016

Since the first description of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) numerous research groups have focused on possible pathological mechanisms including the suppression of the bone turnover of the jaw, antiangiogenic effects and soft tissue toxicity. In our review we focused on summarizing the role of the soft tissues in the development and progression of BRONJ. The biological behavior of fibroblasts can be significantly influenced by bisphosphonates (BP) such as a concentration dependent reduction of cell viability. High concentrations of BP can induce apoptosis and necrosis of the cells. Comparable effects could be detected for keratinocytes. Compared to non-nitrogen containing bisphosphonates nitrogen-containing BP have worse effects on cell biology by blocking the mevalonate pathway. Next to this the cell architecture and the expression levels of several genes and proteins are significantly disturbed by BP. These inhibitory effects of BP are in accordance with BP related reduced angiogenesis and neovascularization and could underline the hypothesis that inhibition of fibroblasts and keratinocytes results in delayed wound healing and can induce and trigger BRONJ.

Published: October 2016

Understanding the intrinsic relationship between highly varied crop productivity and soil characteristics is essential for developing site‐specific management practices. Our primary objectives were to quantify the temporal variation of soil attributes and crop productivity, to characterize the spatiotemporal variability and to delineate management zones of crop productivity for precision management. A pool of 12 soil properties (0–15 cm) and crop annual output (CAO) were collected annually from corn (Zea mays L.)–barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) rotation for three consecutive years in a coastal rainfed agroecosystem of East China. Results indicated that varying degrees of sustained temporal increase were observed for percentage of clay particles (CL), soil organic carbon (SOC), available nitrogen (AN), and CAO, whereas electrical conductivity of saturated soil paste extract (ECe), sodium adsorption ration (SAR) and soil available potassium (AK) declined continuously. The ECe and SOC had the largest negative and positive contribution to CAO, respectively. An overall increasing trend was observed for CL, SOC, and CAO whereas ρb and ECe decreased over the 3‐yr period. Followed by CAO and SOC, soil ECe had the lowest degree of temporal stability, and ρb and CL had the highest degrees of temporal stability. Separating the experimental site into two management zones effectively discriminated the spatial variability of crop and soil and reduced the necessary sampling volume. It is concluded that the spatial and temporal coherence of soil and crop parameters can be successfully used to develop site‐specific management zones and reduce sampling efforts for precision management.

Core Ideas

Percentage of clay particles, soil organic carbon, and crop annual output increased while soil bulk density and electrical conductivity of saturated soil paste extract decreased over the 3‐yr period.

Electrical conductivity of saturated soil paste extract showed temporal instability, and soil bulk density and percentage of clay particles exhibited temporal stability.

Separating the field into two management zones proved to be a good compromise.

The two management zones contributed to reducing sampling efforts.
Heritability of Popping Characteristics in Sorghum Grain

Published: October 2016

Popped sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) has become popular among niche food consumers. To provide product for this market, producers are usually popping grain from hybrids that were not developed for popping. With selection, the popping quality of sorghum could likely be improved substantially, but the relative effects of genotype, environment, and the heritability of popping‐related traits remain unknown. The objectives of this study were (i) to determine the relative effect of both genotype and environment on popping quality and (ii) to estimate heritability of these traits in sorghum. Using hot‐air popping, popping efficiency and the expansion ratio were evaluated in grain from 130 recombinant inbred lines (Sureño/RTx430) grown in three different Texas environments. Both popping efficiency and the expansion ratio were affected by genotype, environment, and the genotype × environment interaction. Using combined analysis, the heritability on an entry‐mean basis for popping efficiency was 0.674 (0.579 to 0.746) while the expansion ratio was 0.759 (0.687 to 0.811). These results indicate that both the genotype and environment should be carefully selected to optimize popping productivity and quality. Further, the heritability of these traits indicates that selection for improved popping is possible.

Starość jest jednym ze współczesnych wyzwań pedagogicznych. Rozwijane są coraz szerzej teoretyczne i praktyczne aspekty geragogiki. Personalistyczna koncepcja człowieka stanowić może dla nich odpowiednią podstawę. Wynikająca z niej realistyczna i pozytywna, ugruntowana metafizycznie i etycznie wizja starości jako czasu najbliższego osiągnięcia pełni osobowego rozwoju uzasadnia podejmowanie działań wychowawczych dotyczących tego etapu życia. Przyjmować mogą one postać wychowania do starości, w starości i przez starość oraz obejmować osoby i społeczeństwa. Potencjalny projekt integralnego, permanentnego wychowania w perspektywie starości napotyka jednak obiektywne przeszkody uwarunkowane specyfiką funkcjonowania osób starszych i śro- dowisk, w których żyją. Przeżywanie starości na miarę posiadanej godności osobowej, będące celem personalistycznej pedagogii starości zaprezentowanej w artykule, stanowi możliwe, lecz wymagające wyzwanie dla seniorów i starzejących się społeczeństw.

Osoby niepełnosprawne tworzą obecnie w Polsce dość dużą grupę społeczną. Jednym z jej głównych problemów jest zatrudnienie. Oczywiście nie można zastosować tej idei wobec wszystkich osób niepełnosprawnych, jednakże propozycja elastycznego, a zarazem bezpiecznego rynku pracy może znaleźć wśród nich liczną rzeszę zwolenni- ków. Podjęcie tego tematu jest istotne, gdyż dotychczasowe warunki ekonomiczne osób niepełnosprawnych świadczą o ubóstwie, co niewątpliwie wpływa na nie negatywnie. Efektem takiego stanu rzeczy jest konieczność szukania nowych rozwiązań. Aktywizacja zawodowa niepełnosprawnych poprzez model zatrudnienia wspomaganego jest skuteczna dla licznej grupy takich osób.
AKTUALIZACJA SYSTEMU PREWENCYJNEGO KSIĘDZA BOSKO – CZY JEST ONA POTRZEBNA?

Jednym z paradoksów naszych czasów jest fakt, że chociaż pedagogika jako nauka bardzo rozwinęła swój aparat naukowy, to jednak często pozostaje bezowocna. Ksiądz Bosko już ponad 150 lat temu stosował system wychowania formujący młodzież na „uczciwych obywateli i dobrych chrześcijan”. Zadaniem wszystkich członków Rodziny Salezjańskiej jest aktualizacja jego systemu, aby odpowiadał potrzebom naszych czasów i przyczynił się do społecznej i edukacyjnej pracy z dzisiejszą młodzieżą. Zatem jak ko- rzystać z doświadczenia księdza Bosko i salezjanów w dzisiejszych warunkach?
SALEZJANIE W ODPOWIEDZI NA POTRZEBY WYCHOWANIA WE WSPÓŁCZESNEJ EUROPIE
Authors: ROZMUS TADEUSZ
Published: October 2016

W artykule przedstawiono współczesny kontekst wychowawczy Europy z jego wielorakimi wyzwaniami, zagrożeniami i szansami. Autor skupia się przede wszystkim na wyzwaniach globalizacyjnych, w tym na wzrastającym w Europie poziomie wielokul- turowości i wieloreligijności. Jego zdaniem jest to nowa sytuacja, inna od tej z przeszłości, która stanowi duże wyzwanie dla instytucji wychowawczych prowadzonych przez salezja- nów. Wychowanie współcześnie nie może być pielęgnowaniem przeszłości, lecz zmusza do odważnego poszukiwania aplikacji charyzmatu Jana Bosko w warunkach zgodnych z mentalnością współczesnych Europejczyków, a w szczególności młodzieży.

Artykuł prezentuje refleksje płynące z doświadczenia pracy w szkole sa- lezjańskiej. W Polsce działa około 70 takich szkół, realizujących wychowawcze zadania państwa i ewangelizacyjne Kościoła. Są one bardzo zróżnicowane. Posiadają wiele atutów, wśród których szczególnie cenne są charyzmatyczne dziedzictwo zawarte w systemie prewencyjnym, wysoki poziom nauczania, bezpieczeństwo i rodzinna atmosfera. Mają też swoje trudności, z którymi muszą sobie radzić na co dzień. Przed szkołami salezjańskimi w Polsce stoją ogromne wyzwania wychowawcze i duszpasterskie. Kryterium ich oceny pod kątem wierności idei ks. Bosko stanowi pierwsze oratorium na Valdocco, które dla młodzieży było domem, parafią, szkołą i podwórkiem.

W artykule zanalizowano problem adaptacji społecznej dzieci w okre- sie przedszkolnym. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań udało się wskazać trud- ności etapu adaptacyjnego, w szczególności związane z wysokim poziomem lęku oraz specyfiką relacji międzyludzkich. Poziom lęku jako czynnik nabyty przekłada się na takie zjawiska, jak: duża wrażliwość na sytuacje, w których zaangażowane są emocje, nieświadoma niepewność w zakresie własnych umiejętności, pragnienie, by podtrzymać znaną sobie pozycję, która współgra z wizją swojej osoby, a także ostre reakcje emocjonalne w sytuacjach, gdy tej wizji grozi zmiana. W tekście przedstawiono możliwe sposoby radzenia sobie z tymi zjawiskami. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na specjalnie wyselekcjonowane gry motoryczne, które nie tylko pozwalają dzieciom się zintegrować i pozbyć poczucia izolacji, lecz także złagodzić stres towarzyszący adaptacji do środowiska przedszkolnego.

Evolution and the rapid spread of the multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) have posed a serious crisis. Moreover, the available first line drugs also confer adverse effects on the patients suffering from tuberculosis (TB) thus making the cure increasingly difficult. Thus the search of novel and potent natural compounds targeting anti-tubercular agents has become inevitable. Here, we report identification of potential natural anti-tubercular candidates targeting Mtb 2-Trans Enoyl Acyl Carrier Protein Reductase (InhA) of the fatty acid pathway using structure based drug designing. In the present study, we selected a total of 154 compounds from three plants i.e. Ginkgo biloba, Neem (Azadirachta indica) and Tea (Camellia sinensis) which were obtained from PubChem Compounds. These compounds were subjected to Lipinski’s rule of five and drug likeness filters. Finally, the compounds were docked at the active site of Mtb InhA (PDB code: 3FNE) using AutoDock Vina to select inhibitors with favourable interactions. The structure based ligand receptor docking aided in the identification of a number of natural candidates which had high binding affinities against Mtb InhA. Thus, these molecules could potentially inhibit Mtb InhA and succor to the development of lead compounds in the experimental drug discovery of anti-tuberculars.

The study aims to explore the chemical composition of volatile essential oil of Tagetes minuta and comparison of its allelopathic potential with cis-β-ocimene, a major component of oil. T. minuta L. is an exotic aromatic plant found growing in northern plains and western Himalayas in India. The water distilled essential oil from aerial parts of T. minuta (at flowering stage) was analyzed by GC-MS. The analysis revealed 27 compounds representing 95.73% of the oil. cis-b-Ocimene (44.56%), dihydrotagetone (28.52%), limonene (3.99%) and tagetone (7.42%) were its major compounds. A comparison of allelopathic effect of cis-b-ocimene was made with T. minuta oil using Cassia occidentalis L., a common wasteland weed, as test plant.  Laboratory study included growth studies in the form of germination, seedling length and dry weight of test plant under both treatments i.e. T. minuta oil and cis-b-ocimene. The inhibitory effect of ocimene was more significant as compared to oil. However, highest concentration (20µg/cc) of both treatments was found to be inhibitory with respect to all parameters.

Introduction. The knee osteoarthrosis leads to a significant reduction of working ability. as well as to disability of working-age people. Arthroplasty is dominated the main method in treatment of such patients. However, many orthopedists are more and more inclined to the surgeries which allow to preserve the knee anatomic-and-functional integrity and to delay the surgery of the knee total replacement for later periods. Subchondral tunnelization with infusing autologous blood with bone marrow elements is one of such methods. of treatment for the patients of this category.Purpose to study the dynamics of the blood flow in the tibial epiphyseal subchondral zone after tunnelization and infusing autologous blood with bone marrow elements and its effect on the rehabilitation process of patients with gonarthrosis.Material and methods. The work was based on the results of studying 26 patients with Degree grade 2-3 gonarthrosis. Surgical treatment included performing tunnelization of femoral and tibial condyles with infusing autologous blood containing bone marrow elements. Circulation of tibial subchondral epiphyseal zone was studied in the operation room, before surgery, after tunnelization and after infusing autologous blood. Blood flow registered using high-frequency ultrasonic Dopplerography. The patient functional condition and the pathology severity analyzed using complex index score.Results. The significant (42-108%, р0.05) increase in blood flow registered in tibial subchondral epiphyseal zone in patients with gonarthrosis after tunnelization of femoral and tibial condyles in 46.2% of cases, and the increased blood flow persisted after infusing autologous blood with bone marrow elements in 58% of the patients from this group. In patients with significant blood flow increase the index score rate of gait, muscle strength and mean rehabilitation criterion was reliably 23% (р0.05), 21% (р0.05) and 17.4% (р0.05) more, respectively, comparing with the group of patients without the pronounced increase. The proportion of patients with the increase in the index score of gait, muscular strength, joint deformity, function, quality of life was also higher in the group of patients with blood flow rate increase.Conclusions. The significant increase in blood flow of tibial subchondral epiphyseal zone after tunnelization and infusing autologous blood with bone marrow elements contributed to the improvement of joint function and quality of life in patients with gonarthrosis.

Increasing number of elderly patients with femoral neck fractures requires a search for an optimal treatment regimen based on a natural sustenance and regulation mechanisms of bone homeostasis.Purpose of the study – to perform a comparative cellularity analysis of bone marrow obtained from femoral neck and iliac bone of elderly patients.Material and methods. The experimental group included 29 patients with closed fractures of femoral neck, injured by falling on the side from a standing position. Bone marrow was obtained from femoral neck and iliac bone during procedure of screw internal fixation or hip replacement. In the control group, the authors used bone marrow harvested from the same anatomical areas of 10 cadaveric donors. Nucleated cells (NCs), hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were counted in bone marrow by flow cytometry.Results. Comparative study demonstrated that bone marrow from the hip of patients with fractures and cadaveric donors contained less concentration of NCs and HSCs than bone marrow from the ilium. However, the difference in concentration was significant only in the experimental group. At the same time, in patients with fractures the NCs concentration and absolute content of HSCs in bone marrow obtained from hip was significantly lower than those from cadaveric donors. Meanwhile, samples obtained from the iliac bone in the experimental and control groups had no significant difference. The authors also observed that concentration of HSCs and MSCs in the bone marrow from male hips was significantly lower than in females. As a result, male patients with fractures demonstrated difference in concentrations of HSCs samples from ilium and femoral neck reaching 84.6%, MSCs – 86.6%; females demonstrated differences of 68.9% and 69.2% respectively.Discussion. The data collected allows suggesting that one of the main factor violating micro-architecture of bone and in development of osteoporosis is an alteration in the cellular composition of bone marrow. While MSCs are active in regeneration of bone tissue, increase in their concentration in the fracture zone can stimulate the healing. Thus, to improve treatment outcomes in patients with hip fractures after internal fixation with cannulated screws, it could be beneficial to use grafting of autologous bone marrow obtained from the iliac bone featured by a higher stem cells concentration.
