CLINICOMORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WOUND PROCESS AT THE EARLY POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD AFTER RADICAL URANOSTAPHYLOPLASTY
E-mail: vitalinadobroskok87@gmail.com
The purpose of the paper was to study the clinical situation and the morphological structure of the biopsy material of the hard palate mucoperiosteal grafts in children with the congenital cleft palate before surgery and at the early postoperative period after radical uranostaphyloplasty. The study of clinical characteristics and general somatic state of children with this pathology before operative intervention enables to reveal the marked anatomical and functional disorders. The study of the wound process at the early postoperative period after radical uranostaphyloplasty with the help of morphological structure of the biopsy material of the hard palate mucoperiosteal grafts enables to predict the degree of probability of the formation of dense scar and make individual plan of treatment-and-prophylactic and rehabilitation measures for this category of patients.
Keywords: children, congenital cleft palate, reparative regeneration.
Congenital malformations of the maxillofacial area are the most common among other facial defects where congenital cleft lip and palate account for 90% of all cases. The degree of severity of anatomical abnormalities of the palate significantly affects the progress of the postoperative period, the frequency of occurrence and severity of complications, differentiation of the upper jaw bone frame [1,2,7,10].
Postoperative complications, related to the nature of the wound healing, worsen the general condition of the patient, prolong the time period of inpatient treatment and contribute to the development of the residual defects, which requires repeated surgeries. It is often associated with the type and size of the cleft defects and sufficient availability of soft tissue component, associated with concomitant somatic diseases of a child. Unfortunately, no clear tactics in relation to the definition of the conceptual approach to the prevention and treatment of undesired aftermaths exists to date [5,8,9].
Therefore, when planning a surgical intervention the clinical situation of every specific case should be thoroughly studied at the preoperational period to prevent postoperative complications; the objective estimation of anatomical and functional disorders that formed within the tissues of the nasolabial complex and the upper jaw should be made in advance. In addition to a careful and rational examination of the ability of the wound surfaces to reparative regeneration around the hard palate mucoperiosteal grafts should be considered. The study of their morphological features can be the basis for the creation of optimal conditions for wound healing, promote the opportunity to study the complex of preventive measures at all stages of observation, actions aimed at improving the metabolic processes, better proliferation of regional blood vessels and microcirculation in them. It may be a prerequisite to ground the importance of the use of pharmacological drugs that are able to influence the process of scarring and, at the final stage, on the density of the scar and its potential tendency to direct participation in the formation of cicatrical deformation of the palate.
The purpose of the paper was to study the clinical situation and morphological structure of the biopsy material of the hard palate mucoperiosteal grafts in children with cleft palate before surgery and at the early postoperative period after radical uranostaphyloplasty.
Material and methods. The findings of the clinical study are based on examination of 27 children with congenital dipnoous unilateral cleft palate, aged from 2 to 5 years (girls n=11, boys n=16). Cleft defect on the left side was found in 15 (55.5%) children and in 12 (44,4%) children it was on the right side. The control group comprised of 10 children who underwent surgery with regard of dystopia and retention of maxillary teeth or with the presence of benign tumors in this area.
Biopsy material of the soft tissue of the palate, collected from the area of the neurovascular fascicle output from the pterygopalatine foramen during the uranostaphyloplasty, was used. Their repeated sampling was carried out on the 6-7 day after surgery, using the proposed needle for taking biopsy material . The research was conducted in accordance with the ethical standards of the bioethics committee, developed in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration of the World Medical Association (1964), supplemented by the 59th General Assembly of WMA, Seoul, 2008[4].
Once the biopsy material was fixed, the follow-up 60 min prefixing in the phosphate buffer 4% glutaraldehyde solution (pH 7.4) was made at a temperature of 4°C. Semi-thin sections obtained from the soft tissue of the palate, embedded into EPON-812 were made on the rotational microtome MPS-2 and stained with fresh and twice filtered 0,1% methylene blue solution [3].

Uranostaphyloplasty was carried out by one surgeon according to the method suggested by Prof. Kharkov L.V. [6] to ensure the validity of the study. One and the same suture material was used in all cases.
Results of the study and their discussion. In patients with dipnoous unilateral cleft the main clinical signs were the presence of the linear scar on the upper lip, remaining from the previous cheiloplasty and combined defect, extended on the alveolar process, hard and soft palate. In 3 cases (11.1%) a narrow septum, continuous with the cleft, was detected at the base of the nostril.
In 22 cases (81.5%) the cleft passed through the alveolar process between the lateral incisor and canine or between the central and lateral incisors (5 children; 18.5%). In 25 patients (92.5%) the width of the cleft defect at the level of the alveolar process ranged from 2 to 8 cm and in 2 cases (7.4%) a dense fuse of the margins of cleft was found. The defect split the palate into two unequal halves. Anteriorly, a well developed intermaxillary bone, rotated and protruded in 7 (25.9%) children, was fused with a larger fragment. Palatine process was somewhat elevated and joined with vomer on the margin of the defect. In all cases a smaller fragment looked like hypoplastic and significantly shifted medioposteriorly. The width of the cleft on the border of hard and soft palate ranged from 8 to 23 mm. All patients experienced swelling and hyperemia of mucous membranes on the margins of the cleft.
In 7 children (25.9%) uneven shortening of the halves of the soft palate was noted; in 11 patients (40,7%) shifting of the smaller fragment posteriorly was detected, leading to elongation of this half of the soft palate, whereas in another 9 patients (33.3%) the smaller fragment was hypoplastic due to osseous fragment and soft tissues.
Deformity of cartila-ginous section of the nose, expressed differently, was detected in all patients with this nosological form. Commonly, the front pole of the tip of the nose on the side of the defect was significantly retracted and a deformed nosewing was descended. The medial peduncles of the wing cartilages were displaced in relation to each other, and the inner corner of the deformed cartilage was lower than on the healthy side. This led to the reduction of the height of the anterior portion of the nasal septum on the affected side and contributed to its deformation.
In 20 patients (74%) S--Jshaped nasal septum ideviation (in the inferior section it was in the (direction opposite to the |cleft, and in the superior section it was in the [direction to the defect) was ¡observed, which was ¡accompanied by the ¡hypertrophy of the nasal urbinates. Mucous
imembrane of the turbinates ¡was cyanotic with irregular ¡contours and in 3 cases (11.1%) it was hypertrophy ¡and partially obturated the cleft and inferior nasal meatus in the anterior or posterior sections.
Examination of the oro- and nasopharynx revealed the enlargement of the palatine and pharyngeal tonsils, hypertrophy of the mucous membrane of the posterior wall of the pharynx (granular adenoid infiltration) in patients aged 4-5 years, and shortening of the anterior palatine arch was detected in all patients. Adenoid hypertrophy was noted in 12 cases (44.4%).
Noteworthy, the pronounced nasal septum deviation, hypertrophy of nasal turbinates and lymphoid substance of the nasopharynx was most often manifested in patients over 4 yrs and were more significant from the side of the cleft location. Moreover, all examined patients experienced speech disturbances in the form of open rhinolalia, rhinology, unclear pronunciation of certain sounds.
The resulting morphological studies have revealed stratified squamous keratinized epithelium of the palatine mucosa in children of control group who underwent surgery about dystopia and retention, or benign tumors in the anterior maxilla. The lamina propria of the mucosa in the area of the neurovascular fascicles output consisted of loose fibrous shapeless connective tissue without papillae and separated from

the epithelium by the basal membrane. A well-developed layer of the elastic fibers and well-marked submucous layer, rich in lipocytes and fine salivary glands, was located behind it (Fig. 1). The resulting data of our study concur with finding of other authors [4].
Morphological study of the biopsy material of children with congenital cleft palate, collected just before the surgical intervention, revealed the specific changes of the epithelium in the area of the neurovascular fascicles output. Intracellular edema of the medial and outer layers of the acanthocytes and presence of vacuoles in the cytoplasm of the cells that occupied the entire cell, driven back the nucleus to the periphery, was specific. Moreover, in all specimens it was represented by the oblate cells with elongated nuclei, nidicating the parakeratosis. In 9 children (33.3%) epithelium was thickened to 15-17 layers of the acanthocytes, epithelial ridges were elongated, indicating about the events of acanthosis. At the same time the nuclei of epithelial cells were reduced in size and stained more intensively (Fig. 2).
Such changes are specific to hydropic (another name is vacuolar) degeneration. In 8 cases (29.6%) hydropic degeneration was observed along with acanthosis. Round cell or lymphohistocytic infiltration was also detected in the lamina propria of the mucous membrane in 16 observations (59.5%).
On the 6-7 day after uranostaphyloplasty and removal of protective plate from the palate the healing run in compliance with the patterns of the primary intention on the palatine midline and secondary intention in other areas in all patients.
Microscopically, the tissues of biopsy material were represented by the new granular tissue with big amount of leucocytes and small number of macrophages. Noteworthy, the cellular elements prevailed over the fibrous structures, and a significant number of newly formed capillaries in connective tissue was detected.
A marked leucocytic infiltration and enhanced serofibrinous exudates, accompanied by the signs of congestion and local hemorrhages caused by the presence of the red blood cells, as well as small amount of mastocytes with the signs of degranulation, was noted on the wound surface margin in the biopsy material sections of 25 patients (92.5%).
In addition, edema in the tissues, manifested by the hydropic degeneration of the cells was detected, as well as rejecting foci of micronecrosis. At that period a partial epithelization on the wound margin was noted on 20 specimens (74%) (Fig. 3).

Wound tract (1), epithelial infiltration (2), edema and swelling of collagen fibers in the connective tissue (3).
It was expressed in migration, i.e. covering of granular tissue by the epithelium from all sides. Initial signs of differentiation of migrating epithelium were found in 14 specimens (51.8%), expressed by diminishing of its nuclei; the pole of the cells was perpendicular to the layer that covered the defect; round cells were changed into polymorphous ones (Fig. 4).
Consequently, the study of the clinical characteristics and general somatic state of children with congenital cleft palate prior to surgical inter-vention has revealed the marked anatomical and functional disorders.
In patients with dipnoous unilateral cleft palate the main clinical signs were the presence of a linear scar on the upper lip, remained from the previous cheiloplasty and combined defect, extended on the alveolar process, hard and soft palate, separating them into two unequal, underdeveloped, deformed fragments. Anatomical abnormalities in the form of deformity of the external nose, narrowing of the nostrils and nasal septum deviation of different severity were detected in all examined patients.
Study of the morphological structure of the hard palate mucoperio-steal grafts in the area of the neurovascular fascicles output in children with congenital cleft before surgery has revealed the presence of the vacuolar degeneration in the acanthceous layer of the epithelium, which, in our opinion, is the outcome of the cumulative impact of microcirculation disorders and antigen load. Moreover, the decrease in the events of keratinization and manifestations of dystrophic processes in epithelium in the form of acanthosis was observed, indicating a modified appropriate response of the palatine tissues on physical load due to the dysfunction of mastication and deteriorated blood circulation. These features in the structure of mucosa in children with congenital defects provide with the prerequisites for inadequate regeneration of the epithelium in this area and create the basis for further formation of scar.
Microscopically, on day 6-7 after uranostaphyloplasty the patients experienced the phase of post-traumatic inflammation. At this time, cellular elements prevailed over the fibrous structures, and white blood cells dominated over the macrophages. The marked leucocytic infiltration indicated the presence of the inflammatory component in the wound, which can cause intensification of the collagen synthesis and stipulate the formation of denser scar.
It is known that macrophages can both phagocytize the red blood cells, destructed forms of leukocytes, fibrin and adipose cells, and secrete specific substance which enhances proliferation of fibroblasts and plays a certain role in collagen resorption. Therefore, at the period of observation, their small amount definitely affects the quality of the proliferative reaction of fibroblasts and prolongs the process of wound healing. Slowed marginal wound epitelization leads to premature sclerosis of granular tissue and also creates the prerequisites for the formation of denser scars.

Болезнь Вильсона - хроническое наследственное, аутосомно-рецессивное заболевание, связанное с нарушением обмена меди. Несмотря на характерную клиническую картину, диагностика заболевания затруднена. Несвоевременно поставленный диагноз приводит к тому, что при отсутствии лечения быстро прогрессируют неврологические расстройства и патологические изменения в печени, которые в течение нескольких лет приводят к смерти больного. Адекватное, непрерывное лечение (диета, пеницилламин), начатое на начальных стадиях заболевания уменьшает клинические проявления и значительно улучшает прогноз болезни Вильсона.
