Improvement of reparative regeneration in surgery

Abstract

Aim. To improve the reparative tissue regeneration, applying oxymethyluracil in surgical patients.
 Materials and methods. The impact of 5-oxymethyluracil-2,4-dioxo-5-hydroxy-6-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropirimidine (5-OMU) on the processes of regeneration stimulation in the tissues was studied in 4 groups, including different organs and systems of the body. The analysis of the results of using 5-OMU for torpid wounds in general surgery included 145 patients, erosive-ulcerous lesion of the upper parts of gastrointestinal tract – 126, reparative surgeries on GIT – 105 and revasculizing interventions on the heart – 63. To develop experimental models, mature rats, aged 11–12 months, with the body mass 2.9 ± 1.7 kg were used. Two sets of experiments with cut and burn wounds were implemented.
 Results. The experimental studies, aimed at investigation of histological and histochemical preparations, demonstrated positive influence of oxymethyluracil on the healing of skin wounds.
 Conclusions. On the basis of the studies carried out, the preparation is also recommended for use in other fields of surgery for the treatment of erosive-ulcerous lesions of the upper part of gastrointestinal tract, for intestinal anastomoses and when performing revasculizing surgeries on the heart. Different drug forms of this preparation were developed to reach its maximum concentration in the tissues, clinical trials were conducted and its efficient use in clinical practice was confirmed.
