Influence of disposable relaparotomy and programmed sanation on the expression and dynamics of clusters determinations on immunocompetent cells of patients with abdominal sepsis caused by severe peritonitis

Abstract

Relaparotomy in the treatment of postoperative complications of abdominal surgery remains a difficult problem of modern surgery.

To evaluate the prognostic value of expression clusters of determination on immunocompetent cells of patients, the dynamics of HLA-DR + molecules and cytokines in the blood of patients with abdominal sepsis caused by severe peritonitis, as well as abscesses and phlegmons for postoperative period.

Materials and methods.

The study was conducted in 40 patients diagnosed with abdominal sepsis in the period from 2017-2020, which was treated in medical institutions of Chernivtsi and Ternopil in Ukraine, and which were divided into control and research groups. The control group consisted of 17 patients without signs of abdominal sepsis and acute surgical pathology. Determination of the expression of determination clusters such as CD11a, CD162, CD95, CD16 on immunocompetent cells, and the study of the dynamics of expression of HLA-DR + molecules and the content of cytokines IL-2, IL-4, IL-6 in the blood of patients was performed in the postoperative period. Both groups were representative by age, sex, comorbidities, risk factors. Determination of experimental parameters in the blood of patients was performed in the postoperative period (the results were evaluated before surgery, on the first, third, seventh, and on the fourteenth day of the postoperative period).

Research results and their discussion

In patients with abdominal sepsis caused by severe peritonitis, the expression of HLA-DR + molecules on immunocompetent cells increases, which to some extent indicates an intensification of γ-interferon synthesis. At the same time, there is a sharp decrease in the content of IL-2 in the blood - the main regulator of a specific immune response.
