Authors: Fomina T.G. , Potanina A.M. , Bondarenko I.N. , Morosanova V.I.
Published: February 2023

The phenomenon of school engagement, considered as a stable, directed and active participation of students in educational activities and in the school life in general, is of considerable interest to researchers in the field of educational psychology. According to modern scientific concepts, engagement can be assessed through behavioral, cognitive, emotional and social manifestations. The research had its purpose to study the dynamics of school engagement in adolescents, as well as to reveal the relationship of conscious self-regulation with behavioral and cognitive components of engagement based on the longitudinal data obtained on the sample of 6-8 grade students (N=80). A separate task was to find an answer to the question of whether the conscious self-regulation can be considered as a significant predictor of changes in the behavioral and cognitive engagement of students during their study in the secondary school. Methods: "Multidimensional Scale of School Engagement"(Wang et al., 2019; Fomina, Morosanova, 2020); "The Self-Regulation Profile of Learning Activity Questionnaire — SRPLAQ" (Morosanova, Bondarenko, 2017). Statistical processing of longitudinal data (including the latent growth curve modeling) made it possible to reveal the negative dynamics of the students’ behavioral and cognitive engagement during their study in the secondary school. The data analysis allowed to describe the effects of relationship between behavioral and cognitive engagement: a higher level of cognitive engagement contributes to a less pronounced decrease in behavioral engagement. The study established positive correlations of conscious self-regulation with both cognitive and behavioral engagement. The decrease in engagement is less pronounced in adolescents with a higher level of development of conscious self-regulation.

Corticobulbar motor evoked potentials in surgical treatment of tumors of the IV ventricle and brainstem
Authors: Lapteva Kristina N. , Ogurtsova Anna A. , Strunina Yuliya V.
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND: Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring is an obligatory tool during fossa posterior surgery. Corticobulbar motor evoked potentials is the modality of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, which can be used during such neurosurgery interventions. It is used to determine the functional state of the caudal cranial nerves during surgery. However, there are technical features of this modality, therefore, corticobulbar motor evoked potentials are not used routine in neurosurgery now.
AIM: To establish the predictive value of corticobulbar motor evoked potentials for development of dysphagia after removal of tumors of brainstem and fourth ventricle.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed 80 patients aged from 11 months to 67 years. In 49 cases tumor located in forth ventricle (34 adults and 15 children). In 31 cases tumor located in upper brainstem and craniospinal region (16 adults and 15 children). All patients underwent neurosurgery removal of tumor with intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring. We analyzed otoneurological symptoms before and after operation, MR-images, the volume of removed tumor was estimated. We analyzed data of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring; the main modality of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring was corticobulbar motor evoked potentials.
RESULTS: Progress in neurological symptoms from caudal nerves was observed in 35% cases. Amplitude of corticobulbar motor evoked potentials statistically depends on neurological symptoms from caudal nerves in early postoperative period. When the amplitude of the corticobulbar motor evoked potentials decreases by more than 34% from the initial level, there is a high probability of appearance or increase of symptoms from the caudal group of cranial nerves after surgery. The sensitivity and specificity of the corticobulbar motor evoked potentails are 94.4 and 89.2%, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary to use the corticobulbar motor evoked potentials to determine the functional state of the caudal group of cranial nerves during brainstem and forth ventricle surgery and to predict the development of dysphagia and dysarthria after surgery. The modality has a high prognostic value both in children and in adults.

Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND: Neuroblastoma is one of the most common extracranial solid tumors in childhood. At present, epigenetic disorders play a significant role in neoplasms development. Since epigenetic changes in the cell are quite dynamic and reversible, epigenome-modulating exogenous agents can be used in epigenetic targeted therapy for various types of tumors. Therefore, the identification of these agents is still significant. Lactoferrin is one such potential molecule from the transferrin family. Currently, the anti-tumor properties of lactoferrin have been identified, but its effect on the epigenome of cells of various tumors types, particularly on neuroblastomas, is practically unknown.
AIM: To study the effect of the exogenous recombinant human apolactoferrin on the viability and epigenomic status of IMR-32 neuroblastoma cells.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied human IMR-32 neuroblastoma cells after 72 hours of exposure to 8 doses of recombinant human apolactoferrin: 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 and 500 g/ml. The level of genome-wide DNA methylation and the degree of chromatin compaction in IMR-32 cells were quantified using commercial kits 5-mC DNA ELISA Kit, Global DNA Methylation LINE-1 Kit, as well as enzymatic hydrolysis of MspI / HpaII and DNaseI.
RESULTS: The recombinant apolactoferrin reduces the viability of IMR-32 and, depending on the dose, differentially affects the level of genome-wide DNA methylation (СpG dinucleotides, CCGG sites, LINE-1 repeats) and the degree of chromatin compaction. At the same time, a complex picture of the epigenomic cellular response to the effect of apo-lactoferrin was observed (nonlinear nonmonotonic dose-effect relationship).
CONCLUSIONS: We assumed that apolactoferrin modulates gene activity through epigenetic mechanisms, in particular, by changing the DNA methylation pattern and affecting the chromatin structure, which may be one of the molecular mechanisms of its anti-tumor effect.

Published: February 2023

In a situation where the metaverse is being actively studied in the field of education due to the development of technology, it is necessary to analyze the current trend of metaverse-related education research and propose guidelines for application in Korea. This study collected 67 empirical studies in Korea using the metaverse for teaching and learning. Each paper was analyzed for the year of publication, participants, learning contents, teaching-learning methods, metaverse scenarios, learning effects, and learning hindrance factors. As a result of the analysis, it was found that there is a lack of empirical studies using mirror worlds and life logging for education compared to AR and virtual worlds. Also, AR was used at earlier school levels, such as kindergartens and elementary schools, unlike the other metaverse scenarios mainly used in universities. The learning contents applied to each metaverse scenario were different, showing each metaverse scenario's unique characteristics. In all metaverse scenarios, complementary teaching methods appeared the most, while learner-centered teaching methods appeared the least. When used in teaching and learning, AR showed high levels of immersion and achievement improvement and strength in ease of use, with overall low learning hindrance factors. It has been confirmed that virtual worlds had strengths in interaction and presence but also had high cognitive load and technical problems, so they required sufficient control by teachers. Mirror worlds provided content that could interact with learners, but they had to be appropriately linked to real-world activities. Life logging showed high interaction and presence, but related studies were limited. Based on the results of this study, future applications and research directions were discussed.

Published: February 2023

This study aimed to investigate the most common Coronavirus pathogens in humans in the third millennium. In this study, all documents in English on pathogenic coronaviruses were examined from the beginning of 2002 to March 27, 2020. Articles were searched through reliable databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google scholar, Science Direct, Cochrane library, and BioRxiv using the keywords "COVID-19", "Coronavirus 2019", "SARS-CoV," and" MERS-CoV." In addition, reliable health websites, such as WHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), were used to obtain new figures and information on these diseases. A total of 1563 articles and documents were extracted, and after reviewing the full texts of these articles, 100 papers and documents with necessary eligibility were finally selected in the present review study. The outbreak of pathogenic viruses, especially the latest one, i.e., COVID-19, as a severe threat can affect the entire global community, in particular medical staff who are at the forefront of fighting against the virus. It can generally be concluded that coronaviruses have high pathogenesis, with very rapid person-to-person transmission. Since human knowledge is not yet complete about the new type of this virus, i.e., COVID-19, there are no definitive treatments for the virus. Thus, the best and only way to prevent affection from this virus is currently fully implementing health protocols and preventing self-infection and the virus outbreak.
Molecular Docking and Simulation Approach to Study the Inhibitory Effect of Rhamnolipid on Biofilm Producing Proteins in E. coli K12
Authors: Pritam Das Rohit , Sahoo Banishree , Arakha Manoranjan , Pradhan Arun Kumar
Published: February 2023

Microbes have a proclivity for binding to cell surfaces and forming biofilms. The act of creating biofilms is the microbe’s social activity while they are under stress. In humans, this form of cell aggregation leads to biofilm, which often leads to an infection. Despite their ability to form adhesion to the cell surface, biofilm has also drawn attention due to its involvement in chronic disorders. Accumulation of biofilm leads to a serious health concern showing high resistance to antibiotics. In order to address this concern, there is a desperate need to find out natural bioproducts like biosurfactants which could be an alternative to synthetic compounds. In the current study, the inhibitory effect of rhamnolipid against E. coli k-12 proteins that are involved in biofilm formation was studied through various computational approaches. In the molecular docking approach, the interaction between rhamnolipid and targeted proteins has been recorded. Rhamnolipid interacts with pgaC with the total highest energy of -8.91 kcal/mol, indicating a tight ligand-protein interaction. Further, to validate the interaction, a 10-ns molecular dynamics simulation was performed for pgaC and with rhamnolipid bound complex. The stability of biosurfactant and biofilm-producing protein was investigated using the RMSD, RMSF, Rg, and SASA plots. As a comparison to only protein, a complex Binding with rhamnolipid shows a stable RMSD value with minimal RMSF and Rg values, which indicates the tight interaction between rhamnolipid and pgaC. This could be a leading novel in silico approach to studying the inhibitory effect of biosurfactants against biofilm formation proteins.

Medicalization of Complementary and Alternative Medicine: a Historical-Critical Analysis
Authors: Monajemi Alireza , Mousavi Amir Hassan
Published: February 2023

Medicalization, in the sense of expansion of medicine in different aspects of human life and ultimately the transformation of medicine into a tool of social control and domination, is a common interpenetration in the literature. This concept, since its inception in the mid-twentieth century, has been an exclusive critique of modern medicine, meaning that branch of medicine based on biomedical paradigm. In this article, we argue that the conceptual shortcoming of this view and the reduction of medicalization to only one medical paradigm, lead to appear medicalization in the new outfit in the name of demedicalization and with more harmful aspects. By focusing on biomedical paradigm or biomedicalization, we neglected other types of medicalization like paramedicalization or CAMization, meaning expansion of Complementary and Alternative Medicine in different aspects of human life. This negligence makes the space to misuse of medicalization for more medicalizing issues. In the following, Iranian Traditional Medicine has been examined as one of the examples of CAM. By presenting historical examples, in the contrast of common understanding of many medical sociologists, we showed that medicalization is not an exclusive concept around modern medicine and its root go back hundreds of year, not just the last hundred year and not only in the western world.
Components of Good Governance in the Corona Era by Looking at the Approvals of the National Anti-Corona Headquarters (with Emphasis on the Legal and Managerial Dimension)
Authors: Salimi Fezzeh , Parsapour Mohammad Bagher , Nikkhah Farkhani Zahra
Published: February 2023

Corona is a global crisis that has affected government systems. The transition from crisis to crisis requires prudent measures. Governance is a continuous process through which conflicting interests are harmonized and cooperative actions are taken. The latest theory in this concept is good governance, which is doubly important in times of crisis. Good governance is the product of the favorable participation of the three institutions of government, civil society and the private sector. The components of good governance are numerous from the perspective of the World Bank, the United Nations, and thinkers in this field. The National Anti-Corona Headquarters was established by the order of the Supreme Leader and based on the approval of the Supreme National Security Council in March 2020 to take appropriate decisions regarding the treatment of Covid-19 disease, including announcing closures and other restrictive measures in case of violation of health instructions. In this research, with a descriptive-analytical method, an attempt has been made to explain the components of good governance in this period according to the unique legislative approvals in this field, while determining the competence of the mentioned headquarters in regulating. From the authors' point of view, the approvals of the Corona National Headquarters as one of the sub-councils of the Supreme National Security Council are beyond the ordinary law and among the existing components; Efficiency and effectiveness, transparency and accountability and pivotal consensus were recognized.
From Nature to Nurture; A Brief Study of Comparative Law of Filiation of Children Resulting from Reproductive Methods with the Intervention of a Third Party
Authors: Rasekh Mohammad , Ameri Faezeh
Published: February 2023

Filiation is one of the important legal issues which has gone under developments during the history of legal system. Over the modern times, along with the emergence of new methods of reproduction particularly those with the help of a third party, legal regulation of filiation of children resulting from such methods has encountered with new challenges. To whom these children are to be filiated? According to one of the traditions, the mother filiation is based on gestation and the father’s one on gamete. The question, however, is that whether these two criteria can regulate the filiation of such children in a consistent and effective manner. A study of laws and regulations of various countries gives us a negative answer. Laws that merely rely on these two criteria for the determination of filiation of those children would give rise to vagueness, undecidedness and uncertainty in this regard. Therefore, the necessity of a new criterion, i.e. that of intention, has been put forth. In this paper, we intend to study efforts made by legislators and judges of different legal systems so as to reach an effective and consistent criterion in this area.
Doctor in circulation; A study on the historical background of the establishment and expansion of the Health Corps in Iran
Authors: Malekzadeh Elham
Published: February 2023

After September 1931 and the end of World War II, the Pahlavi government turned its attention to the villages and the implementation of the second development plan, followed by rural health programs. With the formation of the Health Corps in 1954, as the seventh principle of the Shah and the Nation Revolution, all physicians and pharmacists in the service of the conscription system were asked to take charge of medical-health services in rural areas of the country.
The present article uses archival documents and library resources in a descriptive-analytical manner to answer the question: Was the Health Corps in Iran a result of indigenous action or the result of the second Pahlavi government's development plans with US recommendations in support of Third World countries? The results of the research indicate that the historical nature and examples confirming the patient's defiance and their treatment were rooted in the historical past of Iran. The creation of the Health Corps and its acceptance by the villagers, due to its indigenous and Iranian nature, was acceptable in the historical memory of Iranians. However, the process of international interactions and the development policies of the country and the government's reform, along with taking advantage of US support opportunities, expanded within the framework of the principles of the White Revolution in Iran and led to extensive activity. This, as the present article claims, explains the indigenous practice of this measure.

Prevalence of Smallpox and the Trend of Smallpox Inoculation in Fars in the First Pahlavi Period
Authors: Heidari Soleyman , Zarrabie Banafshe
Published: February 2023

One of the infectious diseases that was widespread in Fars province during the first Pahlavi era (1925-1941) was smallpox. This disease spread in the early days of the Pahlavi dynasty in the cities of Fars province and its epidemic reached its peak in 1318 AD. Important measures were taken to control the disease, including smallpox inoculation. The smallpox inoculators tried to control the disease by creating fixed and mobile posts and by injecting the patient with smallpox fluid or animal smallpox fluid. Despite the efforts of local authorities in the field of smallpox, there were several obstacles and problems to reduce and eradicate the disease. This study intends to study the prevalence of smallpox in Fars and the trend of smallpox to deal with it in the first Pahlavi period by relying on unpublished documents in the Documents Organization and the National Library of Iran as well as the archives of local newspapers and using a descriptive-analytical method. Findings showed that despite the widespread epidemic of smallpox in Fars in the first Pahlavi period and the high mortality rate, the trend of smallpox inoculation progressed well and the government succeeded in using existing facilities and common methods to help control the disease in the regions of Fars.
Introduction and Critique of the Paper "Medicine of the Safavid Era Relying on Western Travelogues"
Authors: Orimi Jamal Rezaei , Asadi Shahrbanoo
Published: February 2023

The Safavid period is considered one of the most important periods in the history of Iranian medicine. During this period, medical knowledge was developed many works in the field of medicine were written and several hospitals were established. In recent years, several studies have been conducted on the medical history of the Safavid period. The purpose of this study is to introduce and critique the paper "Medicine of the Safavid era relying on Western travelogues" by Saeed Agharezaei and Shiva Rezaei. This research is an analytical-critical study that uses library resources to review and evaluate the paper in terms of structure, content, and method. The paper has coherent writing and indicates the authors' efforts to explain the medical and health situation of the Safavid period from the perspective of Western tourists. In the structure of the paper, sometimes inappropriate references and writing errors are seen. Failure to mention the reasons for the migration of physicians to India, failure to determine the true location of hospitals, failure to mention the position of dental, veterinary and surgical knowledge, failure to mention epidemics and ambiguity of the pharmacology situation in the Safavid period can be enumerated content critiques. The results show that the paper, despite attempts to reveal various aspects of medicine in the Safavid era, has some structural, content, and method problems. Therefore, it is expected that the respected authors, by eliminating the mentioned problems, will be able to publish a more significant work on the history of medicine in future research.

Published: February 2023

Background: Various arthropods, including Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Ctenocephalides felis felis have been sug­gested as secondary vectors of Leishmania spp. many years ago. This study was conducted to determine zoonotic cuta­neous leishmaniasis (ZCL) PCR positivity of reservoir hosts and their ectoparasites for Leishmania spp. in Segzi plain in Esfahan Province from October 2016 to October 2017.
Methods: Microscopic examination and nested PCR were used to detect and identify Leishmania spp. isolated from rodents' ears and ectoparasites, and then, the results were confirmed by two methods, PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism and sequencing.
Results: Totally, 93 rodents (92 Rhombomys opimus and one Nesokia indica) and nine different species of ectoparasites (n=527) including fleas, mites, and ticks were collected during different seasons in the study area. Fourteen R. opimus were positive for Leishmania spp. by microscopic examination while one N. indica and 77 R. opimus were positive by nested PCR. The infection rate of rodents with Leishmania major and Leishmania turanica was 39.79% (n=37) and 15.05% (n=14), respectively. Mixed natural infections with L. major and L. turanica were seen in rodents. Moreover, 72.22% of fleas (39/54), 75.0% of mites (5/8), and 100% of tick nymph (1/1) were PCR positive for Leishmania parasites.
Conclusions: The highest rate of infection with L. major and L. turanica in R. opimus populations was observed in summer and spring, respectively. It is suggested that the role of L. turanica and the probable role of ectoparasites in the epidemiology of disease should be investigated. A Xenodiagnostic test is recommended for future study.

Authors: Ghafari Saeedeh , Tahghighi Azar , Shamakhte Khadijeh , Alipour Hamzeh , Maleki-Ravasan Naseh , Nateghpour Mehdi
Published: February 2023

Background: Anopheles stephensi is an important malaria vector mosquito in Iran and other western Asian countries. In many human communities, plant products have been used traditionally instead of synthetic pesticides for mosquito control due to their minimal hazardous effects. Teucrium polium, known popularly as felty germander, has been intro- duced in Persian Medicine (PM) as an insect repellent from a long time ago.
Methods: The present study was undertaken to evaluate repellent and larvicidal activity of dichloromethane (DCME- TP) and ethanolic extracts (EE-TP) of T. polium against An. stephensi under laboratory conditions. The possible chemi- cal components of the extracts were also investigated through gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) tech- nique.
Results: Based on the results, DCME-TP showed better repellent activity than EE-TP with 56.67 and 28.33 % protec- tion, respectively. Larvicidal activity of DCME-TP with 49.41% mortality was also higher than EE-TP (20.24%). The main identified constituents of DCME-TP were long chain alkanes, phenol, aromatic ester, oxaspiro and triterpenoid. While phenolic and aliphatic acid were only the identified components in EE-TP. It is notable that lupeol was detected in DCME of T. polium for the first time.
Conclusion: DCME-TP can be considered as a new herbal candidate to control An. stephensi mosquitoes. Further stud- ies are required on this extract for the fractionation and identification of the active compounds, and the evaluation of their bioactivity in the laboratory and field.

Derecho económico y códigos de ética de empresas transnacionales: un análisis sobre la vinculación frente al empleo del Derecho Internacional Privado
Authors: Alcalde do Nascimento Victor Hugo
Published: February 2023

Las empresas transnacionales generan innúmeras dificultades en diferentes contextos jurídicos. La respuesta del Derecho Económico Internacional exigió un cambio de paradigmas: su subordinación a conceptos financieros, motivado por la búsqueda del progreso económico, cedió espacio para agregar la tutela de Derechos Humanos y fundamentales como sinónimo del desarrollo. El resultado fue la elaboración de una serie de normas jurídicas, domésticas e internacionales, que incitan, además de a Estados y organizaciones internacionales, a las compañías transnacionales a la salvaguardia de estos valores primordiales. Prevalece en estos textos un fuerte incentivo a la autorregulación a través de la adopción de programas de compliance o de códigos de ética. No obstante, el principal obstáculo para la efectiva aplicabilidad es el carácter voluntario de estas iniciativas. Este artículo cuestiona, en definitiva, cómo asegurar que la regulación por códigos corporativos viabilice la tutela de los Derechos Humanos y fundamentales, y, por lo tanto, impulse el desarrollo. En una investigación teórica, de rasgo cualitativo, se aboga el empleo de los principios del DIPr. Se postula que la disciplina internacional jusprivatista ejercería funciones regulatorias, típicas del Derecho Público, aunque se denomine privado. Inicialmente, se sostiene que esta disciplina sea empleada en ámbito macro dimensional, para conferir juridicidad a los códigos de ética, al cualificarlos como contratos, fuente de responsabilidad civil extracontractual, declaración unilateral de voluntad o una relación de consumo. A continuación, se defiende el uso del DIPr en el ámbito microdimensional, para permitir el diálogo entre códigos corporativos o legislaciones domésticas. Los principios de la disciplina permiten el desarrollo del Derecho Económico Internacional, porque se adaptan mejor a los contextos. Se trata de una respuesta novedosa que rompe, en definitiva, los límites entre lo público y lo privado: se utilizan instrumentos privados, como empresas y códigos de ética, para la búsqueda de valores propios del Derecho Público.

Malignant tumors of the mucous membrane of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity are quite rare, which is from 0,2 to 1,3% of all malignant tumors of the head and neck. Melanoma of the mucous membrane of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity is less than 5% of all neoplasms of this localization and less than 1% of all melanomas. Melanoma is one of the most dangerous, often recurrent, metastatic malignant tumors. More often, melanoma occurs in the maxillary sinus, less often it is diagnosed in the frontal sinus. The average age of patients with melanoma is 58,7 years. Men and women get sick almost equally often. The duration of the disease ranges from several months to 3–5 years. The prognosis for melanoma of the mucous membranes is unfavorable, with a three-to-five-year survival rate of 10–15%. Clinically, most often in the early stages of the development of paranasal sinus melanoma, the disease is asymptomatic. Possible manifestations depend on the location of the tumor germination. Treatment of melanoma of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity depends on the stage of the disease.

Despite the widespread prevalence of acute laryngitis and known methods of therapy, the task of improving a personalized approach to treatment based on the knowledge of otolaryngology, physical and rehabilitation medicine (physiotherapy), and pharmacology still remains an urgent task. Acute laryngitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the larynx, which is accompanied by a violation of the voice function. Patients with this pathology seek help from an otolaryngologist and generalist. Acute laryngitis can occur as an independent disease or as a manifestation of acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI). Also, the development of acute laryngitis can also be due to irritative (noninfectious) reasons: excessive voice use, climatic conditions, smoking, gastroesophageal reflux disease, occupational hazards. The purpose of this article is to substantiate the algorithm for prescribing physical factors to patients with acute laryngitis based on modern ideas about their therapeutic effects. The paper presents current information about the etiology and pathogenesis of acute laryngitis. The main pathophysiological syndromes are identified: inflammatory, neuromuscular transmission disorders, dystonic, dystrophic, microcirculation disorders, psycho-emotional. The general principles of the syndromic-pathogenetic approach to the prescription of therapeutic physical factors in patients with acute laryngitis are substantiated. General absolute and relative contraindications to the prescription of therapeutic physical factors in patients with dysphonia are listed. The algorithm for prescribing physiotherapy is substantiated, the most illustrative examples of the choice of physical methods of treatment are presented.

Bilateral cochlear implantation is becoming an optimal method of hearing and speech rehabilitation in patients with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Therefore, today, general principles for selecting patients for this type of treatment are being developed all over the world, approaches are being formed to determine indications and contraindications. The key argument for determining indications for bilateral cochlear implantation is the patient’s rehabilitation potential, which in turn is formed from a combination of various factors. One of the most significant of them is the time factor—namely, the time interval between the onset of deafness and the performance of surgery. For patients with the first cochlear implantation, the prognosis of rehabilitation is inversely related to the duration of this time delay. And for patients who are planning to install a second cochlear implant with sequential binaural cochlear implantation, the influence of the time factor is still a matter of debate. In our work, we present a description of our successful experience in the rehabilitation of patients with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss of the IV degree (profound) with a large time range (more than 5 years) between successive surgical interventions—cochlear implantations.

The article presents data characterizing the inflammatory process in the chronic otitis media (COM) from the standpoint of parameters related to the development of the allergic component of inflammatory infiltrates, regardless of the exudate nature. For comparison, cases with acute otitis media (AOM) were taken. They were obtained as a result of histomorphometric study. Both in acute and chronic otitis media, direct and indirect signs of allergic inflammation were revealed. Of particular interest is the significant predominance of eosinophils in the COM group, which may indicate their more important role in the chronic process, including an increase in their number at the wall edge in the microcirculation vessels. Thus, the study results show that in chronic otitis media, the allergic component plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of the inflammatory process. An important factor in this case is the anatomical and physiological relationship of the tissue structures of the middle ear with the Eustachian tube and the nasopharynx. This fact must be taken into account when constructing the treating tactics of chronic otitis media, an important element of which could be the use of drugs not only with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive, but also anti-allergic properties, especially of prolonged action, as well as herbal preparations with similar properties.
