Laparoscopic pyelolithotomy for staghorn kidney stones. А multi-center study

Background: Infectious-allergic, neurogenic, occupational, immunological, and crossover factors play a significant role in the etiopathogenesis of chronic recurrent aphthous stomatitis (CRAS). Moreover, CRAS is associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and viral infections of the oral cavity secondary to urogenital pathologies. Aim: To assess the efficacy of comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of CRAS in patients with urogenital infections. Materials and methods: The study included 120 patients with CRAS aged 18–70 years. Of these, 80 had CRAS secondary to CKD with infectious complications: treatment group 1 (TG1, n=40) and reference group (RG, n=40). Forty patients with CRAS had no urogenital infections: treatment group 2 (TG2). The treatment protocol in the study groups included antihistamines, sedatives, immunomodulators, and multivitamins. Topical treatment included Eludril solution (irrigation, mouth wash, etc.), as well as ginger and myrrh extracts. The conditional control group (CCG) included 20 apparently healthy subjects. Results: The study found that regional lymphadenitis, Mikulicz’s aphthae, swollen oral mucosa, severe dental caries, and a high periodontal disease index were more common in patients with CRAS secondary to CKD; patients with more prolonged and severe CRAS had the worst results. Immunodeficiency and abnormal blood chemistry findings associated with CKD were identified as the primary pathogenetic factors for recurrent infection in CRAS. Conclusion: Patients with CRAS secondary to CKD may develop chronic inflammation caused by opportunistic pathogens in the oral cavity, resulting in local immunodeficiency, which is largely determined by the site and severity of inflammation.

BACKGROUND: One of the important directions of scientific research within the scientific specialty “Dentistry” is the study of the development of pediatric dentistry as an independent area of scientific knowledge, as well as the development of its scientific directions. Comprehensive research on the development of scientific directions and assessment of modern trends in the field of pediatric dentistry over the past quarter century has not been conducted. There is a need for analysis and comparison of scientific research carried out on each problem of pediatric dentistry. GOAL: To assess the state of scientific research and identify priority areas in pediatric dentistry from 1993 to 2020. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 977 dissertation abstracts on pediatric dentistry, previously selected and added to the collection 18, were analyzed. The study focused on dental issues in children and adolescents as presented in dissertation materials from the period of 1993–2020. RESULTS: Scientific search in electronic databases revealed 977 dissertation abstracts dedicated to issues of dental care in children. On average, (35 ± 2.5) works were presented annually for consideration by dissertation councils. The main research directions were as follows: pediatric therapeutic dentistry — 375 (38%) works; orthodontics and dentofacial anomalies in children — 229 (23%) dissertations; epidemiology, public health, and organization of dental care for children — 125 (13%) studies; surgical dentistry and maxillofacial surgery in children — 203 (20%) works; dental morbidity in children with comorbid somatic pathology — 107 (11%); pediatric orthopedic dentistry — 33 (3.3%). CONCLUSION: The analysis conducted revealed that the study of pediatric dentistry issues in Russia has a clearly comprehensive nature, representing one-fifth of all scientific research in dentistry as a whole.
