[Combined therapy of trophic ulcers with protracted healing].
The results of treatment of 126 patients with trophic ulcers of the low extremities were analyzed. Trophic ulcers in 74 patients (58.7%) appeared due to postthrombophlebitic disease, in 25 patients (19.8%) due to primary varicose veins of lower limbs, in 15 (11.9%) patients due to obliterative diseases of peripheral vessels and in 12 (9.5%)--other diseases. The duration of the illness made up from 1 to 50 years. In 26 patients (group 1) low-intensity laser irradiation (LLI) was used together with combined conservative therapy; in 32 patients (group 2) hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO), in 21 (3 group)--combined application of LLI and HBO was used. The examination of regional macrohemodynamics and microcirculation in 39 patients showed decrease of rheographic index (RI) in the shin, increase of the arterioles tone and venous outflow disturbance. The use of LLI and HBO resulted in undoubtful increase of RI and improvement of microcirculatory indexes. As a result of combined application of LLI and HBO microflora of the ulcers lowered from 10 and 10 per 1 gr in patients of group 1 and 2, respectively, in patients of group 3 there was no growth of pathogenic microflora. The investigation of humoral and cellular immunity after the application of LLI and HBO demonstrated strong immunocorrective action.
