Objective:
Comparative assessment of the collagen-tissue interaction in the bone tissue of the middle ear structures in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM).
Material And Methods:
A prospective study of 42 patients aged 16-60 years with CSOM admitted for reconstructive sanitizing surgery was performed. To study the collagen-tissue interaction, intraoperative samples of the bone tissue of the middle ear were used. A software calculation of vascular-stromal areas and ratios of various types of bone tissue collagen was carried out during histomorphological examination.
Results And Discussion:
The quantitative and qualitative parameters of bone tissue collagen obtained intraoperatively in patients with CSOM were studied. The cavities of the middle ear are in the phase of a chronic purulent process, when the bone structures are morphologically disorganized according to the pathological type, and sclerosis with overgrowth of the cellular structure of the mastoid process is considered a favorable outcome for delimiting the focus of inflammation in the pyramid of the temporal bone.
Conclusions:
Changes in the processes of collagen remodeling of bone structures contribute to the maintenance of inflammation of the middle ear in all clinical forms of CSOM. Pathological osteogenesis can serve as an indicator of the progressive course of a purulent-destructive process in the cavities of the middle ear, which makes it possible to reliably determine the rate of bone tissue transformation to predict relapse after reconstructive and sanitizing surgery.

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
