ULTRASONOGRAPHIC AND MORPHOLOGIC COMPARISONS OF DEGENERATIVE DISEASES OF LUMBAR SPINE
Kharkiv Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education ultrasonographic and morphologic comparisons of degenerative diseases of lumbar spine
Objectives of the work was the study and the comparison of utrasonographic data and the results of morphologic investigations of the structural changes of the intervertebral disc (IVD) among the patients with degenerative disease of the lumbar spine.
Materials and methods. Utrasonographic and standard X-ray examination of 128 persons have been realized; 83 patients have been undergone by MRI and 33 patients have been undergone by CT. Operative therapies of 24 patients, among whom were 12 men and 12 women, have been performed.
Results. Patients were divided into groups depending on localization of the degenerative process in the IVD to systematize ultrasonic criteria.
In the first group (with the degenerative changes within the nucleus pulposus, 23 persons, 115 IVD) — changes in the nucleus pulposus have been detected in 47 IVD (40.8 %).
In the second group (with the degenerative changes in the nucleus pulposus and in the fibrous ring without disturbance of the integrity of the fibrous ring, 53 persons, 265 IVD) — changes in the nucleus pulposus and fibrous ring have been determined in 198 IVD (75 %).
In the third group (with the degenerative changes in the IVD and the disturbance of the integrity of the fibrous ring and involving the elements of the spinal canal in the pathological process, 52 persons, 260 IVD) — patients’ disks were at various stages of lesion of the degenerative processes, changes have been found in 232 IVD (89.2 %).
As a consequence of the comparison of the results of the surgical interventions and the US and MRI data in the diagnosis of hernias of the intervertebral disc, indicators of the diagnostic value of each method have been obtained. Conclusions. Realized utrasonographic and morphologic comparisons have proved an accuracy of the ultrasonography data in the diagnosis of hernias of the intervertebral disc: sensitivity — 89.2 %; specificity — 66.6 %; accuracy — 87.1 %. Systematization of ultrasonic signs of osteochondrosis in the intervertebral discs can improve the clinical and topical diagnosis, and also contributes to reducing diagnostic mistakes and conducting appropriate therapeutic and prophylactic measures.

CLINICAL POSTNATAL RESULTS AT VARIOUS ECHOGRAPHIC VARIANTS OF CARDIAC FETAL ABNORMALITIES
The purpose of research was the analysis of postnatal outcomes in different ultrasound (US) variants of congenital heart diseases (CHD) of the fetus.
Material and methods. The analysis of antenatal ultrasound imaging and postnatal clinical results in 132 cases was made.
In 55 cases cardiac anomalies were identified and archived after 22 weeks of gestation; in 57 cases — CHD were detected only after birth; in 20 cases antenatal US changes were not accompanied by clinical symptoms after birth. Postnatal results were classified as follows: adverse general postnatal outcome (GPO) — perinatal or infant death; adverse clinical postnatal outcome (CPO) — cardiac surgery or its series, postoperative cardiovascular morbidity. Long-term effects of antenatal changes were elucidated through a telephone survey of mothers at 6 and 12 months after delivery. In cases of perinatal losses pathological diagnosis were studied.
Results. Adverse GPO were present in 25/55 (45.4 %) cases with cardiac abnormalities identified prenatally. Critical hemodynamic abnormalities that required urgent cardiac surgery in newborns were present in 7/57 (12.2 %) children.
There were identified anomalies associated with adverse GPO, adverse CPO, favorable CPO after surgery, favorable CPO without surgery despite cardiovascular symptoms after birth, as well as US features for which there were favorable CPO without cardiovascular symptoms after birth.
The overall incidence of adverse postnatal outcomes (GPO and CPO with severe postoperative morbidity) was 54.6 %. Favorable CPO after cardiosurgical treatment were present in 12/55 (24.5 %). Favorable CPO without surgical treatment at the presence of cardiovascular symptoms after birth and with their regression after drug therapy were observed in 5/55 (9.4 %) patients.
In 6/55 (10.9 %) children with antenatal US features cardiovascular symptoms after birth were absent, and the children did not need treatment.
In 20 cases the changes in US images of fetal main arteries at the end of the III trimester (as modified form of the aortic arch and pulmonary trunk) were not accompanied by clinical or hemodynamic disturbances after birth.
In 54 surviving infants with CHD identified after birth, mostly persistent fetal circulation (11/54) and secondary atrial septal defect (25/54) were diagnosed. In 3/6 cases of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage GPO were unfavorable.
In the diagnosis of all types of cardiac abnormalities antenatal US studies had low sensitivity (8-50 %) with high specificity (93-100 %), with the lowest sensitivity in the diagnosis of abnormalities with clinical manifestation at the 4-14th days after birth (ductus-dependent abnormalities) as well as CHD with manifestation after 4th month of life.
Conclusion. This analysis can be used for the prediction of postnatal outcomes and for prenatal counseling, as well as for the formation of postnatal follow-up monitoring group at fetal cardiac anomalies.
Keywords: fetus, congenital heart disease, ultrasound diagnostics, postnatal result.

THE ROLE OF MAGNETIC REsONANCE IMAGING IN DIAGNOsIs OF THYROID CANCER
Purpose. To determine the objective criteria and the role of MRI in the diagnostic algorithm for detection of thyroid cancer.
Materials and methods. A comprehensive survey of 19 patients with morphologically verified diagnosis T2–3 N0–1а–вM0 stages was carried out at the Kharkiv regional clinical Oncology center. Of these, 15 women and 4 men. The age of patients ranged from 60 to 72 years.
Results. It is found that the advantages of this method are obtaining the images in any projection without losing its quality and absence of radiation exposure to the patient. The use of MRI in patients with low-lying thyroid gland, in the presence of the anatomical structure of the neck, and also in cases where the tumor extends retrosternal, has undoubted advantages to using ultrasound: more accurately identify the true boundaries of the tumor, the spread of education to the surrounding structures and evaluated paratracheal lymph nodes, which are rarely availabl for visualization during ultrasound examination.
Conclusions. The examination algorithm of patients with thyroid cancer must contain MRI, because this method complements ultrasound data in the assessment of tumor spread and the state of regional lymph system.
Keywords: thyroid cancer, early diagnosis, magnetic resonantly tomography, soft tissue neck, lymph nodes.

INFLUENCE OF RADIOIODINE THERAPY ON THE IMMUNOPHENOTYPE OF PERIPHERAL BLOOD LYMPHOCYTES OF PATIENTS WITH THYROID CANCER OF DIFFERENT AGE
Summary. The authors present the results of a study of the phenotypic composition of blood lymphocytes in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer of different all age before and on day 6 after radioiodine therapy.
The phenotypic profile of peripheral blood cells was determined in patients of three age groups: patients aged under 18 years (group 1), patients whose age was within the range 19 to 40 years (group 2), and patients older than 41 years (group 3).
The studies have shown that in patients with thyroid cancer, abnormalities developed in the composition of peripheral blood lymphocytes, which were more pronounced in elderly patients. Under the influence of radioiodine, disturbances in the immune system of patients are aggravated.
The most significant after-effects of radioiodine therapy that had been identified in patients of all age groups, were represented by a significant decrease in the number of B-lymphocytes, an increase in natural killer cells and CD95+ lymphocytes. Furthermore, it was found that radioiodine has the most significant effect on the immune system of children and adolescents. In this age group, the content of lymphocyte subpopulations is changing: CD4+, CD8+, ГО.І, CD19+, CD16+CD56+, CD95+ and HLA-DR, which suggests the need for further dynamic studies in this age group of patients, which is the most sensitive to radioiodine effect in order to determine the extent of immunological disorders and the terms of their recovery.

THE CHOICE OF IRRADIATION VOLUME RADIOTHERAPY IN SEQUENTIAL CHEMORADIATION THERAPY OF NON-SMALL-CELL LUNG CANCER
Summary. This paper describes the results of conformal radiotherapy using different target volume.
The purpose of this work — improving the efficiency of conformal radiotherapy in sequential chemoradiation therapy by optimizing the choice of irradiation volume.
In a clinical study found that exposure to a linear accelerator mode classical fractionation NSCLC patients using irradiation volume, which was formed according to KT conducted after chemotherapy, increases the frequency of positive objective response compared with the volume of exposure data for KT to special treatment. In this case, the positive effect of radiation treatment in all groups studied is accompanied by improved quality of life of patients. Hematologic reactions (I degree) does not interfere with completion of the radiation treatment in full. Thus, the tolerance of the test volume irradiation should be considered satisfactory according to the follow-up visit at 3 months. But we need to continue research to assess the immediate Results.

RADIAL ESOPHAGITISES AT DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES OF RADIATION THERAPY OF PATIENTS WITH NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER
Summary. A comparative analysis was conducted of radiation esophagitis in different modes of dose fractionation with etoposide and cisplatin modifications on the gamma-therapeutic apparatus and the linear accelerator of the non-small cell lung cancer patients. The use of accelerated hyperfractionation modes with dose escalation with etoposide modification does not cause a statistically significant increase in the frequency of radiation esophagitis Grade I. The application of accelerated hyperfractionation modes with dose escalation in conjunction with cisplatin increases the frequency and the severity of radioreaction of the esophageal mucosa. The frequency of radiation esophagitis increases during the NSCLC Stage IIIB and with the general condition of the patient at less than 70 points according to the Karnofsky scale.
Keywords: non-small cell lung cancer, radiotherapy, accelerated hyperfractionation modes, radiation esophagitis.

FUNCTION OF NK-CELLS AND NEUTROPHILS AFTER RADIOIODINE THERAPY IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITH DIFFERENTIATED THYROID CANCER DEPENDING ON THE PRESENCE OF METASTASES TO LUNGS
Summary. The authors have revealed some peculiarities of cytotoxic activity of NK cells and metabolic activity of neutrophils under the effect of radioiodine therapy (RIT) in children and adolescents with differentiated thyroid cancer, which depended on the presence of metastases to lungs. A significant impairment of NK-cell function after RIT was established for both groups, but a more pronounced decrease in this index compared with the index before RIT was found for the group without metastases to lungs. The activity of neutrophils after RIT in patients without metastases to lungs was increasing, which is a response to irradiation. In the group with metastases to lungs after RIT index of neutrophils is not changed, what may be due to the depletion of the function.
Keywords: thyroid cancer metastases, radioiodine therapy, NK-cell activity, metabolic activity of neutrophils, children and adolescents.
