Summary. Uveal melanoma is one of the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adult patients (Mouriaux F., 2014).

The objective of the investigation was to study the dynamics of cell type of uveal melanoma in Kharkiv region in the last 30 years.

Materials and Methods. The results of histological investigations of uveal melanoma were analyzed in 82 patients (33 male and 49 female) aged from 28 to 86 years having been treated in ophthalmology department of Kharkiv regional clinical hospital from 1985 to 2015 years. The cell type tumor was determined according to the modified Callender’s classification.

Results. The conducted research proved, that the average age of the patients was 61.2 years. The spindle cell melanoma was diagnosed in 29 patients (35.4 %), epithelioid cell type was in 24 (29.3 %) and mixed cell type – in 27 (32,9 %). The necrosis of tumor was revealed in two patients. The percentage of patients with epithelioid cells in 1985 – 1994 and in 1995 – 2004 years was about the same (61.9 % and 59.5 % respectively), but in 2005 – 2015 some increase was noticed up to 68.4 %. The comparison of indexes in the periods from 1985 to 2000 and from 2001 to 2015 years proved the increase of epithelioid cells melanoma from 59.6 % to 65 %.

Conclusions. In the last 15 years the increase of epithelioid cells melanoma from 59,6 % to 65 % was fixed in Kharkiv region, and in the last 10 years respectfully – up to 68.4 %. In dynamics in the last 15 years the average age of patients with uveal melanoma increased from 57.8 to 65.6 years in Kharkiv region.

Keywords: uveal melanoma, cell type, dynamics for 30 years.

Summary. Traumatic uveitis after penetrating eye injury is known to have multifactorial nature: its development is caused by cell membrane destruction, antioxidant enzymes deficiency, accumulation of nitrogen oxidation products, eye hypoxia, release of cytokines in particular interleukins (IL), etc. So use of cytokines inhibitors or blockers is considered to be a perspective way of traumatic uveitis treatment. Researches in recent years showed ability of ectoine to stabilize biological membranes, reduce the IL and prostaglandins production, normalize the nitric oxide level and inhibit cell signaling system.

Aim of the work. To study the effectiveness of ectoine use in the complex treatment of children with traumatic uveitis.

Methods. We observed 14 children of the main group and 10 of the control group with aseptic uveitis after penetrating eye injury. The groups were identical in patients’ age and clinical manifestations. Besides of routine clinical examination we examined the blood level of IL-1 and C-reactive protein (CRP) that is known to be released in liver under the action of IL-1. All the examinations were performed at the 1st and 8th day after trauma. All the children got complex treatment but patients of the main group were prescribed additionally instillations of 2% solution of ectoine (ЕYE-t Ectoine Pro) 8 times per day.

Results. Before treatment the blood levels of IL-1 and CRP in our patients were more than 3.5 times worse than in healthy persons both in the main and the control group. In a week after the therapy had started we observed clinical improvement in the both groups. In the main group IL-1 level decreased from 86.8 ± 4.1 to 52.8 ± 9.1 pg/ml (P<0.005), in the control one from 86.6 ± 5.5 to 77.2 ± 1.3 (P<0.2). Reliability of difference between the groups was P<0,05. CRP level decreased in the main group from 9.8 ± 1.4 to 4.7 ± 0.3 mg/l, in the control one from 9.7 ± 0.6 to 7.1 ± 0.4 (P<0.005). Difference between the groups was reliable (P<0.001). Any allergic reactions and side effects were not observed.

Conclusions. Use of ectoine 2% solution lets improve effectiveness of traumatic uveitis treatment, is safe, pathogenetically reasonable and can be recommended in complex therapy of children with penetrating eye injury.

Summary. Application prisms therapy in treating disbinocular amblyopia with conjugated strabismus widely used by foreign ophthalmologists for years. In 2006, Ukraine has been created modified Fresnel microprism and later established manufacturing spheroprismatic glasses lenses for prolonged pleoptortoptical treatment of strabismus, which simultaneously eliminate squint angle and adjust of ametropia.

Objective. Compare the results of treatment of disbinocular amblyopia in children using microprism glasses with traditional hardware pleoptic treatment.

Materials and Methods. In the study involved 149 children with disbinocular amblyopia aged 4 to 18 years. Of those in the study group included 88 children who were treated microprism glasses and 61 children in the control group who underwent pleoptortoptical treatment in view-protection cabinet. Each group of children is divided on the degree of amblyopia in 3 subgroups (weak, medium and high), an average of 30 children in the study and 20 people in the control group. The treatment was 6 months.

Results. The results showed significantly better performance visus amblyopic eye main group opposed to the control. Visual acuity of children increased on average by 38 % and in control of only 12 %. Among them visus in the group with mild degree increased by 28 %, with an average level – 48 %, and high – 43 % as opposed to the control group where the weak - 8.5 %, on average - by 13 % in high - only 6 %.

Conclusions. Thus, treatment of disbinocular amblyopia using microprism glasses much more effectively from traditional pleoptic treatment. Glasses are light and easy to use, have the effect of prolonged ortoptodiploptic due to constant wear and do not require additional hardware techniques.

Keywords: set KK-42, microprism glasses, amblyopia, visual acuity.
