Published: January 2024

Las enzimas celulolíticas son usadas en diferentes industrias; muchas de ellas sonobtenidas a partir de hongos y bacterias que usan como sustrato residuos agroindustrialescon alto contenido de celulosa. Algunos hongos de los géneros Trichoderma y Aspergillussintetizan celulasas con diferentes mecanismos de acción y se han propuesto cultivosmixtos de estos hongos como estrategia para mejorar la hidrólisis de los materialescelulósicos asociada con la producción de estas enzimas. El objetivo de este estudiofue verificar la producción de celulasas a partir de cultivos mixtos y puros de aisladosnativos de T. reesei y A. fumigatus con actividad celulolítica usando cascarilla de arrozcomo sustrato. Ambos hongos producen enzimas que catalizan la liberación de azúcaresreductores a partir de carboximetilcelulosa. La fermentación en estado sólido se realizósiguiendo un diseño factorial y se analizó el efecto del tipo de inóculo y del tiempo deincubación sobre la actividad celulolítica de los extractos obtenidos. La producción decelulasas después de 15 días de incubación fue superior a la obtenida con 8 días de cultivoy se confirmó a través de un análisis de varianza que la producción de celulasas paralos cultivos mixto y puro de T. reesei en el día 15 (34,5 y 31,9 U/g respectivamente) nopresentaron diferencias significativas. Se demostró en este trabajo que la cascarilla dearroz tiene potencial para su uso en la obtención de enzimas fúngicas, aunque la actividadenzimática obtenida usando este subproducto es inferior a la producida con otrosmateriales celulósicos.

Published: January 2024

Debido a que en la actualidad las afecciones óseas siguen siendo un desafío clínico significativo y las soluciones son limitadas y en algunos casos poco efectivas, la investigación alrededor de la hidroxiapatita, principal componente mineral del hueso ha cobrado una importancia relevante. En este trabajo de investigación se analizó el efecto del precursor de calcio en las características estructurales y microestructurales de la hidroxiapatita, comparando los resultados obtenidos con hidroxiapatita extraída de una fuente natural. Mediante el método de reacción por combustión en solución fueron sintetizados polvos de hidroxiapatita utilizando como precursores de calcio carbonato de calcio extraído de la cáscara de huevo y carbonato y nitrato de calcio comerciales. A su vez, la fuente natural de hidroxiapatita fue hueso bovino, que se sometió a un proceso de lavado, fractura y tratamiento térmico. Los grupos funcionales presentes en las muestras obtenidas fueron determinados mediante espectroscopia infrarroja y las fases cristalinas mediante difracción de rayos-X. La microscopía electrónica de transmisión permitió determinar la morfología esférica de las partículas obtenidas a partir de carbonato de calcio (de cáscara de huevo) con el menor tamaño de partícula (entre 20 y 50 nm); mientras que, las obtenidas a partir de precursores comerciales presentaron una morfología no homogénea. Los resultados mostraron que el proceso seguido fue eficiente para la obtención de nanopartículas de hidroxiapatita cuando se obtiene a partir de carbonato de calcio y a una temperatura de 1100ºC. El carbonato de calcio proveniente de la cáscara de huevo permitió obtener hidroxiapatita con morfología homogénea y tamaño nanométrico.

Authors: Astudillo Delgado Victor manuel , Revelo Luna David , Muñoz Chaves Javier Andres
Published: January 2024

El electrocardiograma (ECG) es una herramienta esencial en el diagnóstico de enfermedades cardiovasculares, proporcionando información valiosa sobre el ritmo y la función del corazón. Tradicionalmente, los médicos se basaban en características heurísticas identificadas manualmente para detectar anomalías en el ECG. Sin embargo, esta metodología presentaba limitaciones en términos de precisión y fiabilidad. Con el objetivo de mejorar la precisión en la identificación de arritmias cardiacas, esta investigación se enfocó en el desarrollo de modelos basados en redes neuronales convolucionales. Se utilizaron dos conjuntos de datos: el dataset PhysioNet MIT-BIH, ampliamente utilizado en la comunidad científica, y datos adquiridos por el simulador de arritmias Bio-Tek BP Pump NIBP. Se entrenaron cinco modelos con diferentes arquitecturas, incluyendo modelos convencionales como VGG16, ResNet-50 y AlexNet, así como dos arquitecturas propuestas por los autores. Todos los modelos se entrenaron con el mismo número de muestras y configuración de hiperparámetros. La evaluación del desempeño se realizó utilizando métricas comunes como exactitud, recall, F1-score y exactitud —accuracy—. Los resultados demostraron que la arquitectura VGG16 fue la más eficaz en la clasificación de arritmias cardiacas, alcanzando una exactitud del 98,8% en el conjunto de datos MIT-BIH. Además, al evaluar los datos de prueba del simulador Bio-Tek BP Pump NIBP, el modelo customize-2 demostró el mejor rendimiento con una exactitud del 96,3%. Estos resultados son prometedores, ya que demuestran el potencial de las redes neuronales convolucionales para mejorar la precisión en el diagnóstico de arritmias cardiacas. Los modelos desarrollados en esta investigación podrían ser una herramienta útil para los médicos en la detección temprana y el tratamiento adecuado de estas afecciones cardiovasculares.

Se presentan a continuación, los resultados de la investigación relacionada con la transformación de residuos orgánicos, a través de pacas biodigestoras. Se ensamblaron 5 pacas de aproximadamente 1m3 con los siguientes residuos: No0 (material vegetal), No1 (material vegetal+inóculo de compostaje), No2 (Material vegetal+génesis®), No3 (Material vegetal +estiércol de cabra), y No4 (material vegetal+ residuos de café). Estas se realizaron a través de un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia, debido la oferta limitada de residuos en el tiempo de la investigación (Pandemia). Se construyeron con un sistema de compactación de 1t/m3 y fueron monitoreadas por 20 semanas, midiendo altura y temperatura; se tomaron muestras para determinar la composición fisicoquímica y organismos del material resultante. Se encontró que la paca No0 fue la que presentó mejor comportamiento en cuanto la altura seguido de la paca 1, 2, 3 y 4, respectivamente. La paca No4 presentó mejor relación C/N, debido a las altas concentraciones de carbono orgánico del café. Se concluye que el material resultante no es un abono orgánico según la NTC 5167 de 2022, no obstante, la materia orgánica, elementos mayores y menores se encuentran en valores óptimos para ser catalogados como suelos para cultivos agrícolas.
Bioethics in medical education: what to teach?
Authors:   Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution of Higher Education Russian National Research Medical University named after N. I. Pirogov of the Ministry of Health of Russia, EO Taratukhin
Published: January 2024

The difficulty of teaching doctors a bioethical block of disciplines (ethical and legal, related to communication, patient-centeredness) lies in the ambiguity of the ethical categories themselves, which differ both historically and culturally. The deontological imperative, which could become a universal measure of the ethical, has similar limitations and, even if it successfully fulfills a normative function, can lead to moral suffering if its implementation is impossible. Other versions of metaethics also have limitations. Additional complexity is created by the starting point for designating a norm in bioethics - the definition of health, which has a biopsychosocial nature. All together, this turns out to be a serious challenge for teaching the bioethical block of disciplines. A possible solution is virtue, the formation of a “virtuoso doctor” capable of coping with ethical relativism - that inevitability that is always present in interpersonal relationships.

ER stress mediated inflammation in cancer pathogenesis
Authors: Jalajakumari Soumya S. , Ramesh Renu , Nair Achuthsankar S.
Published: January 2024

Inflammation is a complex process which is associated with the initiation and progression of cancer. Prolonged Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) stress triggers inflammation which is a key factor associated with cancer pathogenesis. ER stress also contributes to immune suppression in inflammatory and tumor microenvironment. It stimulates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines by regulating the activation of various transcription factors and inflammatory signalling pathways. Targeting ER stress is an exciting possibility that can be used as a therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment. This mini review focuses on the emerging link between ER stress-induced inflammatory responses in cancer development.
Influence of medium type and culture method on the multiplication efficiency of Chlorophytum comosum (Thunb.) Jacques in in vitro conditions
Authors: Dyduch-Siemińska Magdalena , Błaszczyk Wiktoria , Gawroński Jacek
Published: January 2024

In response to the challenges posed by modern plant micropropagation techniques, a promising technology for growing shoots temporary immersed in nutrient solution (temporary immersion system, TIS) using SETIS™ bioreactors has been developed. In this experiment, the suitability of this technology for the propagation of Chlorophytum comosum (Thunb.) Jacques was assessed. In vitro culture was carried out using a conventional technique on solid media and liquid media using the SETIS™ bioreactor. In addition, two culture media differing in macro- and micronutrient content (Murashige & Skoog and Rugini OM), while having the same set of phytohormones were evaluated in both systems. Explants obtained from the flower stalk of the plants were used to establish the culture. The effectiveness of the cultures after the first and second subculture was assessed. The study has demonstrated that the efficiency of liquid culture carried out using the SETIS™ bioreactor is higher compared to the conventional culture. The highest multiplication coefficient, fresh weight of regenerants and RGR index value in bioreactor cultures was recorded on Rugini OM medium. No statistically significant differences were found between MS medium and Rugini OM medium in terms of shoot length and vigour with this method of culture. When using the conventional method, better results can be achieved with MS medium. This research can be considered as a first step towards the production of Chlorophytum comosum (Thunb.) Jacques on a larger scale.
Fuzzy fractional factors in fuzzy graphs-II
Authors: Zhang Hainan , Gan Jianhou , Gao Wei
Published: January 2024

The fractional factor implicates the characteristics of fractional flow in network data transmission, and it is a crucial tool for analyzing network information transfer. When there is uncertain information in the network, the corresponding network graph should be characterized by fuzzy graphs, in which the vertex membership function (MF) describes the uncertainty of sites, and the edge membership reveals the uncertainty of channels. The previous work introduced the concept of fuzzy fractional factor (FFF) on fuzzy graphs, but the correlated concepts are still open on other fuzzy graph classes. In order to overcome this defect, in this contribution, the concept of fuzzy fractional factor is extended to intuitionistic fuzzy graph, Pythagorean fuzzy graph, and picture fuzzy graph. Sign-alternating walk and increasing walk are extended to the corresponding settings, and the transformation operations are redefined in light of various situations. By means of constructive approaches, the corresponding theoretical results are further generalized in these settings, which characterize the existence of (resp. maximum) fuzzy fractional factors in different kinds of fuzzy graphs.
Solving coupled non-linear higher order BVPs using improved shooting method
Authors: Javeed Shumaila , Hincal Evren
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this work is to propose a new efficient initial guess algorithm rather than the conventional Newton method to meet the adjoint terminal conditions, rapidly. Thus, the focus of this paper is to use better algorithms for obtaining refined initial guesses with shooting method to solve the coupled boundary value problems. The boundary value problem is formulated as a system of equations i.e. initial value problems with one unknown initial condition. The efficiency and accuracy of the Shooting method is enhanced by improving the initial guess and then solving the problem iteratively.
Symmetry analysis and invariant solutions of generalized coupled Zakharov-Kuznetsov equations using optimal system of Lie subalgebra
Authors: Usman Muhammad , Hussain Akhtar , Zaman Fiazuddin , Abbas Naseem
Published: January 2024

This research focuses on the examination of nonlinear evolution equations, with a specific emphasis on the generalized coupled Zakharov-Kuznetsov (CZK) equations serving as a primary application. Given the wide application of classical Lie symmetry methods in this field, this study employs a Lie symmetry analysis to investigate the CZK equations, as detailed in this research. Our methodology involves the construction of a nine-dimensional optimal system by leveraging the fundamental elements of the Lie algebra. Subsequently, we apply similarity reductions to the equations using each subalgebra. The resulting invariant solutions find diverse applications within the realm of physics and can also be adapted to solve a broad range of related nonlinear evolution equations. We meticulously validate all these solutions through a straightforward verification process. To enhance our comprehension of the physical implications of these solutions, we employ Mathematica simulations to visually represent various solution scenarios. Additionally, to preserve conservation laws, we incorporate Ibragimov’s novel conservation law theorem as a crucial component of our analysis.

On the complex version of the Cahn–Hilliard–Oono type equation for long interactions phase separation
Authors: Fakih Hussein , Faour Mahdi , Saoud Wafa , Awad Yahia
Published: January 2024

This paper focuses on the complex version of the Cahn-Hilliard-Oono equation with Neumann boundary conditions, which is used to capture long-range nonlocal interactions in the phase separation process. The first part of the paper establishes the well-posedness of the corresponding stationary problem associated with the equation. Subsequently, a numerical model is constructed using a finite element discretization in space and a backward Euler scheme in time. We demonstrate the existence of a unique solution to the stationary problem and obtain error estimates for the numerical solution. This, in turn, serves as proof of the convergence of the semi-discrete scheme to the continuous problem. Finally, we establish the convergence of the fully discrete problem to the semi-discrete formulation.

Background:

Hepatic hemangioma (HH) is described as the most prevalent benign hepatic tumor, and it is usually discovered incidentally as a symptomless mass of less than 3 cm. Kasabach-Merritt syndrome is described as a rare but severe complication of some vascular tumors. This syndrome presents as severe thrombocytopenia accompanied by a consumptive coagulopathy.

Case Presentation:

A 35-year-old female, with a history of a hepatic tumor that was incidentally diagnosed with an ultrasound, later develops abdominal distention, petechiae, and prominent hematomas that appear with minimal trauma. At the initial approach, hematological data of microangiopathic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and consumptive coagulopathy were accompanied by the histopathological and imaging diagnosis of a Giant HH.

Conclusion:

Although, it is a very rare complication, the severity of this syndrome requires a prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Teil I: Das Selbst als Gestalt – eine kritische Analyse und Ansätze zur Weiterentwicklung der Theorie des Selbst im klientenzentrierten Konzept
Authors: Keil Sylvia
Published: January 2024

Die Selbst-Theorie des Klientenzentrierten Ansatzes ist ein psychotherapeutisches Konzept, das als Reflexionsinstrument in der Praxis dient. Um die Selbstgestalt in der Psychotherapie und deren Inkongruenz in Übereinstimmung mit dem klientenzentrierten Konzept zu rekonstruieren, muss die Selbst-Theorie jedoch noch weiter ausgearbeitet werden. Der vorliegende Artikel (Teil I) fasst die Ergebnisse der kritischen Analyse der Selbst-Theorie zusammen, die im Vorfeld einer qualitativen Studie notwendig war, um die Selbstgestalt eines Klienten auf phänomenaler Ebene zu erschließen. Es werden die Inkonsistenzen der Theorie aufgezeigt, die sich hauptsächlich auf die Entwicklung der Selbstgestalt in der Kindheit, die Inkongruenz und die Frage der unbewussten Prozesse im Selbst beziehen.
Teil II: „Das war ein wichtiger Schritt, mich besser in mein Selbstbild pressen zu können“
Authors: Keil Sylvia
Published: January 2024

Die hier vorgelegte Studie beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, ob bzw. wie sich die Selbstgestalt und deren Entwicklung in der Psychotherapie auf der phänomenalen Ebene rekonstruieren lässt. Die am Forschungskonzept der Grounded Theory orientierte Untersuchung kommt zum Schluss, dass die Selbstgestalt zu „erkennen“ ist, wenn sämtliche Verhaltensmuster des untersuchten Klienten im Zusammenhang mit korrespondierenden „Selbstdefinitionen“ verstanden werden, die als Ordner im Sinn der Synergetik fungieren. In der Psychotherapie wird eine rasche Erleichterung der Symptomatik durch die Verbesserung der vorhandenen Verhaltensmuster der Selbstgestalt erzielt, eine strukturelle Veränderung der Selbstgestalt erfolgt jedoch nur langsam und parallel zu qualitativen Veränderungen in der therapeutischen Beziehung.
„HIER BIN ICH“
Authors: Schmid Peter F.
Published: January 2024

Wie kommen wir zu einem Verständnis unserer selbst und zu einem Verstehen anderer Menschen? Statt über den Anderen Erkenntnisse zu gewinnen, geht es im Personzentrierten Ansatz darum, den Anderen als einen wirklich Anderen anzu-erkennen. Dies erfordert einen Bruch mit jenen traditionellen psychotherapeutischen Erkenntnistheorien, die Gefahr laufen, in der Falle des Selben und damit des Selbst gefangen zu bleiben, indem sie von Bekanntem auf das Neue schließen. Die Alternative ist die Anerkennung und authentische Verwirklichung des grundlegenden Wir des Menschseins (d. h. eine Epistemologie der Transzendenz oder Alterität). Dies geschieht in der Realisierung der dialogischen Grundverfasstheit – auch und gerade in der Psychotherapie. Im Verständnis der Dialogischen Philosophie ist der Mensch von allem Anfang in Dialog; ja, es gilt: Die Person ist Dialog. Therapie als Dialog bedeutet daher weder Austausch noch Gleichrangigkeit noch anzustrebendes Therapieziel, sondern ist die Herausforderung zum Eintreten in eine immer schon vorgängig gegebene Du-Ich-Situation und deren Entfaltung. Die therapeutischen, ethischen und politischen Konsequenzen werden diskutiert.

Authors: Alaix-Rivera María José , Muñoz-Escalante Mauricio , Molina-Prieto Luis Fernando
Published: January 2024

Los perros y los gatos han habitado las ciudades durante milenios. Actualmente, centenares de millones desempeñan el rol de mascotas. Su presencia junto a los humanos ha generado significativos beneficios para las personas y para la sociedad. La economía mundial, la salud de los propietarios y la cohesión social son sus principales beneficiarios. Desde la década de 1960 la familia tradicional empezó a experimentar cambios en medio de los cuales las mascotas encontraron un lugar particular. Este lugar se fortaleció gracias a un gran cambio al que asistimos: somos testigos del paso del humanismo al poshumanismo, que exige la inclusión de especies no humanas en la vida urbana. Los resultados presentan las consideraciones que todo diseñador debe tener en cuenta para elaborar proyectos arquitectónicos y urbanos incluyentes con las mascotas. Se concluye que es prioritario incorporar estas consideraciones cuando se aborden proyectos con enfoque poshumanista en las escuelas de arquitectura.

Authors: ERTUĞRUL Ayşegül
Published: January 2024

In portfolio theory, the selection of financial instruments to be included in the portfolio is of great importance. For this purpose, the direction and strength of the relationship between the financial instruments to be included in the portfolio have also become important. From this point of view, the main objective of this study is to analyze the interrelationships among financial instruments. In this study, the causality relationship between gold, BIST-100 index, bitcoin and exchange rate was analyzed. The data of the financial instruments used in the study consist of 208 observations as weekly values for the years 2019-2022. Before applying causality analysis, Johensen cointegration test was performed to test whether there is a cointegration relationship between the variables. According to the results of the cointegration test, both the trace statistic and the maximum eigenvalue result indicate that there is one cointegration between the variables.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: disinfection of dentures and soft denture liners was prioritized for cross-contamination management and patient safety. However, it has been shown that these approaches have an influence on the physical and mechanical qualities of denture liners. Objective: assessment of the effect of disinfection by sodium hypochlorite and cleansing tablet on surface hardness and roughness of an acrylic-based soft liner. Material and Methods: 15 specimens were prepared for each test, and then divided into three groups (2% NaOCl, Protefix tablet, and control). The specimen’s preparation was done by conventional procedures according to manufacturing instructions. The daily disinfection of specimens was continued for 30 days. After each immersion in a denture cleanser, distilled water was used to maintain the specimens at room temperature. Hardness and roughness measurements were made by shore A durometer and profilometer devices respectively and the results were analyzed by ANOVA test. Results: there were no significant differences in the hardness value between the examined groups, with the high mean value obtained with the cleansing tablet group, whereas the low value was obtained in the control group. When compared to the control group, the soft-liner increased surface roughness significantly in the NaOCl group, but just slightly and not significantly in the cleaning tablet group. Conclusion: the denture cleansers employed in this investigation had no significant effect on the soft liner's hardness. When compared with a control group, sodium hypochlorite significantly increased the surface roughness of the soft liner, while the cleansing tablet was not significantly affected the surface smoothness.

Published: January 2024

The relevance of this study is due to the fact that risk management is a task assigned to each region of the Russian Federation, which is of particular importance in modern conditions. On the one hand, this is due to the requirements of the global market, where innovation is a recognized tool for improving competitiveness, solving socio-economic problems of society. On the other hand, this is necessary due to the increasing distortions of key indicators of regional innovative development of the country, which requires taking measures to preserve the sustainable development of highly innovative territories and the intensification of laggards, taking into account the sectoral and other specifics of their functioning. The subject of the study is the mechanism of risk management based on the identification and classification of risks and opportunities of the eastern regions of Russia in ensuring effective innovative development. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the authors present the key directions for improving the risk management mechanism of the innovation space of the regions of Russia, taking into account the differentiation of the regional economic space in the direction of establishing a high-quality and sustainable system of interaction between objects and subjects of the innovation space based on the identified priorities.  Due to the fact that risk management of innovative development has been the object of research in domestic dissertations for more than 25 years, the question arose: what risks were identified, and recommendations for their solution were offered by the authors during this period ? How much has the set of analyzed risks and challenges changed (and has it changed) ? How has the content of the approaches and methods of risk management proposed for the activation of innovative development changed ? To answer these questions, more than 60 doctoral dissertations, defended over the past 25 years, devoted to risk management of innovative processes in the regions, were analyzed.
Dentoskeletal and soft-tissue changes concurrent to use of PowerScope appliance in treatment of Class II malocclusion – A retrospective study
Authors: Sajjan Shivaleela , Naik Vijay R. , Naik Sindhu
Published: January 2024

Objectives:

The most frequently encountered malocclusion in our daily clinical practice is Class II malocclusion with mandibular retrognathism. Treatment modalities for Class II malocclusion correction depend on numerous factors such as the severity of the malocclusion and the age at which the patient reports for the treatment. One of the innovations in Class II treatment is the PowerScope appliance. The objectives of this study were: (1) To evaluate dentoskeletal changes with the use of PowerScope appliance in the treatment of Class II division I malocclusion using lateral cephalograms in late adolescents. (2) To evaluate the soft-tissue changes with the use of PowerScope appliance in the treatment of Class II division I malocclusion using lateral cephalograms in late adolescents.

Materials and Methods:

This retrospective and cross-sectional study was done using pre- and post-treatment lateral cephalograms of 15 patients treated with PowerScope appliance who were under decelerated growth phase as assessed by cervical vertebrae maturation index (Stages 4, 5, and 6). All the lateral cephalograms were hand traced and measured by same investigator.

Results:

A highly statistically significant difference was observed between the pre-and post-angle formed by sella nasion plane and nasion to point B line (SNB), angle formed by nasion to point A line and nasion to point B line (ANB), condylion to point gnathion (Co–Gn), and distance between point A to nasion perpendicular (N perpendicular to Point A) to Pog skeletal parameters. It was found that a highly significant difference was noted for parameters upper molar to palatal plane (U6-PP), lower incisor to nasion to point B line (L1-NB), lower incisor to nasion to point B line (L1-NB*), lower incisor to mandibular plane angle (IMPA), and upper molar to pterygoid vertical line (U6-PTV). A significant difference was present for parameters upper incisor to nasion to point A line (U1-NA), while no difference was observed for upper incisor to sella nasion plane (U1-SN) and upper molar to pterygoid vertical line (U6-PTV). A significant statistical difference was observed between the pre-and post-lower lip to E line parameter.

Conclusion:

PowerScope caused significant skeletal changes by forward repositioning of the mandible as well as by an increase in the length of the mandible. There was significant retrusion of upper incisors and a highly significant increase in lower incisor protrusion, lower molar mesialization, and upper molar intrusion. Soft-tissue lower lip protrusion was significant.

Background. Taking into account the peculiarities of bone biodynamics, and the fact that in the period from 5 to 16 years bone mineral density increases by 3 times, which coincides with the age period for the detection of bone cysts in children, the study of bone mineral density indicators, the level of vitamin D, which mainly regulates bone formation, in patients with bone cysts is relevant today. The purpose of the study. To study the indicators of bone mineral density and total vitamin D in children with bone cysts, to analyze the relationship between the occurrence of bone cysts and osteogenesis disorders. Material and methods. The indicators of the condition of bone tissue in children diagnosed with a bone cyst were studied: bone mineral density and vitamin D levels in the blood were determined in 25 children. In total 83 patients with other orthopedic and traumatological pathology were examined as comparison groups: in 42 patients the index of bone mineral density was determined, in 41 patients the amount of vitamin D was assessed. Bone mineral density was determined by double X-ray absorptiometry and computed tomography. The method for determining total vitamin D is based on a solid-phase sandwich-type enzyme immunoassay. Results. In the examined patients diagnosed with a bone cyst, 36% had their bone mineral density index within the age norm, 36% had osteopenia and 28% of children had osteoporosis. In the comparison group, 21.5% of children showed changes in bone mineral density, 78.5% had bone mineral density within the age norm. When studying the level of total vitamin D in the blood serum of patients with bone cysts, the following results were obtained: in 24% of patients, the level of vitamin D was within the age norm, in 72% vitamin D insufficiency and in 4% - vitamin D deficiency were detected. The study of the level of total vitamin D in the blood serum of patients in the control group showed the following results: 68% of patients had vitamin D levels within the age norm, 29% had insufficiency and 3% had deficiency of vitamin D. Conclusions. The analysis of the results of densitometry and the level of total vitamin D in the blood of patients with bone cysts showed that there was a statistically significant decrease in their bone mineral density and total vitamin D compared to children from the comparison group. Thus, children with bone cysts have a higher risk of a decrease in bone mineral density and the level of total vitamin D in the blood; therefore, in addition to appropriate surgery, it is also necessary to determine the level of bone mineral density and total vitamin D for the purpose of their correction.
