Abstract
Generalized purulent peritonitis (GPP) remains one of the
most pressing problems in modern abdominal surgery. Our
study aimed to investigate the dynamics of biochemical blood
parameters in rats during treatment with Ag/Cu nanocomposites
and low-frequency ultrasound for experimental GPP. The
study was conducted on Wistar rats with simulated GPP, which
were divided into three experimental groups of 20 rats each.
GPP was simulated using a mixture of multidrug-resistant
bacteria: S. aureus, E. coli, and P . aeruginosa. In the 1st group,
abdominal cavity sanitation was performed using a solution
of Ag/Cu nanocomposites; in the 2nd group, it was carried
out using low-frequency ultrasound and physiological saline;
and in the 3rd group, Ag/Cu nanocomposites combined with
low-frequency ultrasound were used. Starting from the 7th
day of the experiment, in the group with the combined use
of Ag/Cu nanocomposites and low-frequency ultrasound,
compared to the 1st group, the biochemical blood parameters
of rats significantly improved: total protein, creatinine, alanine
aminotransferase, fibrinogen, C-reactive protein, α
1
-globulins,
α
2
-globulins, and albumin-globulin ratio. On the 14th
day,
further normalization of biochemical parameters was observed
in the 3rd group receiving the combined therapy. Among these,
the levels of total protein, creatinine, total bilirubin, alanine
aminotransferase, C-reactive protein, α
2
-globulins, and the
albumin-globulin ratio differed significantly from those of
the 1st and 2nd groups. Thus, the combined use of Ag/Cu
nanocomposites and low-frequency ultrasound accelerates the
normalization of biochemical blood parameters by effectively
sanitizing the abdominal cavity. This approach reduces the
systemic inflammatory response, eliminates endogenous
intoxication, and restores the functional state of parenchymal
organs, which is pathogenetically justified for the treatment
of GPP.
