[Rational prophylaxis of purulent-septic complications of the soft tissue in ambulatory-outpatient conditions].
The results of investigation are adduced, concerning impact of ultraviolet irradiation and electric field of ultrahigh frequency in conjunction with local application of 1% ethanol solution of chlorophyllipt, using bandage, on prevention of purulent-septic complications occurrence with the soft tissues affection. There were operated on 107 patients. In 56 patients the proposed scheme of purulent-septic complications prophylaxis was applied. This permits to exclude the systemic application of antibiotics for prophylaxis after "clean" operations performance.

Bactericidal effect of photodynamic therapy using Na-pheophorbide a: evaluation of adequate light source.
To evaluate the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) against methicillin resistant-Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by selecting different light sources for irradiation and combining them with the photosensitizer Na-Pheophorbide a (Na-Phde a).. The treatment of drug-resistant bacterial infection is a serious issue. Recently, as a new clinical approach against septic arthritis, an experimental in vivo and in vitro model for the inactivation of MRSA by PDT using the photosensitizer Na-Phde a has been developed.. Na-Phde a solution (280 micromol/L) was mixed with MRSA strain bacterial inoculum. After 60 minutes, light was irradiated for 30 minutes using the following light sources: GaA1p semiconductor laser (300 mW, 670 nm), halogen lamp (75 W), xenon lamp (300 W) and fluorescent lamp (27 W). Bacterial growth was evaluated after 24 hours incubation in a blood agar culture.. The semiconductor laser and halogen lamp groups showed perfect bactericidal effects after PDT. The xenon lamp and fluorescent lamp groups showed partial bactericidal effects.. The results of this experiment showed that PDT using the combination of Na-Phde a with a semiconductor laser or halogen lamp showed a better bactericidal performance than with xenon or fluorescent lamps. These findings indicated that PDT using Na-Phde a could be a useful treatment for septic arthritis and soft tissue infection.
