Use of Blood Plasma Double Bond (DB)-index for Prognosis and Monitoring the Treatment Effectiveness of Patients with Severe Whitlow

The aim of the investigation is the assessment of the possibility of blood plasma DB-index use to evaluate the endogenous intoxication level and the treatment effectiveness of whitlow destructive forms. To study the unsaturation level of serum lipids and cell plasma membrane there has been used an ozonation technique by means of a double bond analyzer, elaborated in the M.N. Semyonov Institute of Chemical Physics. The method is based on the interaction between ozone and a (-S=S-)-bond of an unsaturated organic compound in the equimolar ratio. When treating patients with whitlow using ozone therapy there has been observed the more rapid normalization of a DB-index compared to a traditional treatment.
