Abstract
Hypoparathyroidism is a rare disorder characterized by the absent or inappropriately decreased serum parathyroid hormone in the parathyroid glands, which is accompanied by impaired calcium-phosphorus metabolism.The main etiology of hypoparathyroidism remains damage or removal of the parathyroid glands during neck surgery. In view of the incidence of thyroid cancer, primary hyperparathyroidism and other pathologies of the neck organs, which radical treatment can lead to the parathyroid gland impairment, an increased number of patients with hypoparathyroidism is expected. Autoimmune hypoparathyroidism is the second most common form of the disease, usually occurring as part of type 1 autoimmune polyglandular syndrome. Autoimmune hypoparathyroidism usually occurs in childhood and is characterized by a severe course of the disease, especially in the case of concomitant malabsorption syndrome.Chronic hypoparathyroidism of any etiology requires lifelong multicomponent therapy, as well as careful monitoring and an individual approach to choose the optimal treatment strategy. In the absence of adequate follow-up, the risks of long-term complications significantly increase, particularly in the renal, cardiovascular systems; in the soft tissues and in the brain, it could lead to visual disturbances; pathology of the musculoskeletal system with a decreased bone remodeling and a potential risk of fractures, as well as to the neurocognitive disorders and an impaired health-related quality of life.Timely diagnosis, rational medical therapy and management strategy may reduce the risks of short-term and long-term complications, frequency of hospitalizations and disability of patients, as well as improve the prognosis.This review covers the main issues of Russian guidelines for the management of chronic hypoparathyroidism, approved in 2021, including laboratory and instrumental evaluation, treatment approaches and follow-up. This guidelines also include the recommendations for special groups of patients: with acute hypocalcemia, hypoparathyroidism during pregnancy.

Abstract
Background. The main aims of hard palate reconstruction include separation of the nasal and oral cavities, restoration of chewing, swallowing, speech, ensuring good aesthetic results, and preparation for dental rehabilitation. The choice of reconstruction method is determined by such factors as the nature and location of the defect, surgeon’s experience in certain reconstruction methods, cancer prognosis, and patient’s preference. The study objective is to analyze the results of microsurgical reconstruction of hard palate defects using different types of flaps. Materials and methods. Forty-one (41) patients underwent microsurgical reconstruction of defects of the hard palate, soft palate, and alveolar process between 2014 and 2020. Defects of the anterior portion of the hard palate (grade I, IIc, IId according to the classification of J.S. Brown; grade IB, II, III according to the classification of D.J. Okay) were formed in 13 cases; all of them involved the alveolar margin of the maxilla to some extent. To repair these defects, we used flaps containing revascularized bone (n = 10; scapular tip flaps in 8 patients and fibular flaps in 2 patients) and fasciocutaneous or musculocutaneous flaps (n = 3; radial fasciocutaneous flaps in 2 patients and musculocutaneous flap from the anterior surface of the thigh in 1 patient). Defects of the posterior portion of the hard palate (grade Ib according to the classification of J.S. Brown; grade Ib according to the classification of D.J. Okay) were formed in 18 patients. To repair these defects, we used radial fasciocutaneous flaps (n = 17) and fibular autologous graft containing skin, muscles, and bone (n = 1). Soft palate resection was performed in 10 patients; all surgeries were combination, since the lateral oropharyngeal wall was included in the block of removed tissues. None of the patients had the opposite side affected. These defects were repaired using radial fasciocutaneous flaps.Results. Six patients (15 %) developed total flap necrosis due to venous thrombosis on days 2, 3, and 6 postoperatively; two patients developed flap necrosis due to arterial thrombosis 2 days postoperatively. Good speech quality was achieved in 33 patients (80 %), while 6 patients (15 %) had satisfactory speech; rhinolalia was observed in 2 patients (5 %). All patients with defects of the posterior hard palate and of the soft palate had excellent aesthetic results. Among participants with defects of the anterior hard palate and alveolar process, 10 patients had excellent aesthetic results, while 5 individuals had good results. Three patients had unsatisfactory results due to scarring in the middle portion of the face.Conclusion. Patients with subtotal defects of the hard palate and defects of its anterior portion (grade I, IIb, IIc according to the classification of J.S. Brown; grade II, III according to the classification of D.J. Okay) require repair of the alveolar margin of the maxilla; flaps containing revascularized bone are preferable in this case. The method of choice is defect repair using musculoskeletal scapular tip flap. In patients with short defects, defects located posteriorly, minimal or no defect of the alveolar margin of the maxilla (grade Ia, IB according to the classification of J.S. Brown; grade Ia, Ib according to the classification of D.J. Okay; grade V according to the classification of M.A. Aramany), soft palate defects, radial fasciocutaneous flaps should be used.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Improvement functional and aesthetic results of treatment patients with defects of the hard and soft palate after resections for malignant tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS During the period from 2014 to 2020, 30 patients underwent microsurgical reconstruction of hard and soft palate defects using a radial forearm free flap. For the primary tumor process, surgery was performed in 21 patients (70%), for relapse after chemotherapy, combined or complex treatment - in 9 patients (30%). The majority of patients at the time of surgery had a locally advanced process of the T2 category (12 patients - 40%), T3 (2 patients - 7%) and T4 - 2 patients (7%). Localized stage T1 process was diagnosed in 5 patients (17%). RESULTS Total flap necrosis was noted in 3 cases (10%) due to venous thrombosis on the 2nd and 3rd days after surgery and arterial thrombosis on the 2nd day. In one observation, on the 2nd day after surgery, a tense hematoma was diagnosed in the zone of formation of microanastomoses without signs of impaired flap perfusion, which required an emergency surgical intervention. All patients returned to their normal meals. No rhinolalia was observed in any of the cases. In one case, a patient with a defect in the anterior part of the hard palate obtained an unsatisfactory aesthetic result deformity of the midface; in all other cases, an excellent aesthetic result was obtained. CONCLUSION For defects of the hard palate of posterior localization and minimal or no defect of the alveolar edge of the maxilla (class I, a, b according to Braun, class Ia, Ib according to Okay, class V according to Armany), as well as for the defects of the soft palate, the method of choice is radial forearm free flap. The size of the skin area of the flap can reach 6X8 cm, which makes it possible to replace the combined defects of the hard and soft palate, the lateral wall of the oropharynx, and the retromolar region. The plasticity of the flap makes it possible to reconstruct the total defects of the soft palate by forming it in the form of a duplication.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The reasons of late diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) are the long asymptomatic course of the pathological process, the anatomical structure of the nasopharynx, often small, visually and endoscopically undetectable tumor and other factors. It is proved that the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an etiological agent in the most common undifferentiated non-keratinizing histological type of NPC (uNPC). OBJECTIVES The aim of the work was to assess the significance of diagnostic markers of EBV (titers of humoral antibodies to the virus and the concentration of viral DNA in plasma) for the diagnosis of uNPC in a group of patients with metastatic lesions of the cervical lymph nodes without an identified localization of the primary tumor focus. MATERIAL AND METHODS The material for the study was blood plasma of 83 patients with metastatic lesions of the cervical lymph nodes and not established localization of the primary tumor. Plasma samples were tested for the anti-EBV IgG and IgA antibody content and titers and the concentration of viral DNA. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The data obtained indicate that the parallel testing of blood plasma for EBV-specific antibodies and viral load is a useful tool for preliminary screening of uNPC patients. The final diagnosis is confirmed by the data of subsequent morphological and instrumental studies. Several examples also show that the concentration of viral DNA in the blood plasma of patients with uNPC reflects the effect of the therapy and the prognosis of the disease: remission, stabilization of the tumor process, relapse or metastasis. CONCLUSION Although the titers of virus-specific antibodies are found to reflect clinical manifestations of the disease less accurately than the plasma concentrations of viral DNA, serological markers are extremely important for the preliminary diagnostics of uNPC in cases of undetected primary tumor location. They are also useful for primary screening of this neoplasm among individuals at risk.

Abstract
The etiological role of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in the development of an undifferentiated histological variant of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (uNPC) found for the first time in regions with a high incidence of this pathology, the Southern provinces of China and the countries of Southeast Asia, and later in the rest of the world, has served as a basis for the widespread use of EBV serological markers for the diagnosis of this form of tumor. In recent years, the use of a test based on the quantitative determination of the EBV DNA concentration in the blood plasma of uNPC patients for early detection and monitoring of the disease has become widespread in endemic regions. In non-endemic regions, such studies virtually have not been carried out, and moreover, the comparative evaluation of the significance of two viral markers, serological and EBV DNA load in the bloodstream of uNPC patients, for diagnostics and evaluation of the therapeutic effect was not investigated. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical value of two serological markers and plasma EBV DNA load in uNPC patients from non-endemic region (Russia). The obtained results indicate that IgA antibodies to the viral capsid antigen (IgA/VCA) and plasma EBV DNA concentration can be successfully used for the diagnosis of uNPC, while IgG/VCA antibodies have no practical significance as an uNPC marker. In addition, it was found that plasma EBV DNA load is more sensitive marker of uNPC than IgA/VCA titers because DNA copy numbers reflect more accurately the effect of the therapy and the clinical state of patients at the stages of remission or relapse. It was shown for the first time that in the non-endemic region the simultaneous evaluation of IgA/VCA antibody levels and the plasma EBV DNA loads are the most effective markers for the diagnostics of uNPC. However, we believe, that it is more practical to use IgA/VCA antibody levels for uNPC screening, and plasma EBV DNA copies - for monitoring of the disease.

Abstract
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) plays a key role in the development of undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (uNPC). In uNPC endemic regions EBV-specific antibodies and plasma EBV DNA load are used as markers for the early detection of uNPC and monitoring of the disease. In non-endemic regions, such studies were practically not conducted. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical significance of EBV serological markers and plasma EBV DNA levels for uNPC patients in a non-endemic region, Russia. The results obtained indicate that both viral capsid antigen/immunoglobulin A (VCA/IgA) antibodies and plasma EBV DNA copies can effectively be used for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) diagnosis. Besides, plasma EBV DNA load was found to be a more sensitive marker of uNPC than VCA/IgA antibody titres, as it reflected the effect of the therapy in stages of remission and relapse of the disease more precisely. Our study, for the first time, demonstrates that the simultaneous use of plasma EBV DNA loads and VCA/IgA antibody levels are indispensable markers for uNPC in non-endemic regions: a serological marker can be more effectively used for NPC screening, but EBV DNA copies are better for monitoring the disease. However, both markers turned out to be practically unsuitable for assessing the clinical status of patients. Serological markers did not correlate with any signs of the tumour process estimated by tumour, node and metastasis (TNM) classification and the plasma EBV DNA loads correlated only with the size of the pathologically altered lymph nodes (N). Additional study is required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
The goal of this work was to describe a method for diagnosis of the non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinoma (nNPC) in cases of the undetectable primary tumor location. The method is based on evaluation of IgG and IgA antibody levels to the capsid (VCA) and early antigens (EA) of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The diagnosis of nNPC is established by a so-called decision rule. The latter was created by mathematical processing of the method of multifactor analysis of the results of anti-EBV antibody testing of 72 patients with clinically and morphologically confirmed nNPC and 72 patients with other head and neck benign tumors (OHNT) not associated with EBV, which were tested as a control group. The diagnostic value of the decision rule which was tested in the group of 77 patients with confirmed nNPC and 231 patients of a control group was high. The numbers of false negative and false positive cases were equal to 5.2% (4/77) and 6.5% (17/231), respectively. Among 32 patients with undetectable primary tumors the decision rule was able to identify 11 cases of nNPC. This diagnosis later was confirmed by morphological and instrumental methods of study. Only in two cases, false negative result was obtained (2/32; 6.3%) indicating that the serological diagnostics of nNPC with the decision rule is highly specific but not exact. Thus, the data obtained allowed us to conclude that the serological testing of EBV specific antibody evaluated by the decision rule can be recommended as an important test supplementing the standard methods of pdNPC diagnostics including cases with undetected primary tumor location.

Abstract
The method of DNA-cytometry was applied to examine patients presenting with nasopharyngeal malignancy. The results obtained in laboratory studies were compared with clinical observations and data of medical histories. It was shown that diploid and aneuploid nasopharyngeal tumours are represented in an equal proportion. The number of the latter tumours increased with the progress of the neoplastic process. The diploid and aneuploid tumours were characterized by the equally frequent occurrence of metastasis. The survivorship rate of patients presenting with diploid tumours during the first year after the onset of the disease was significantly higher than in the patients having aneuploid nasopharyngeal cancer. The results of the study indicate that DNA-ploidy can not be used as a predictor of the development of the neoplastic process in patients with nasopharyngeal cancer, nor does it have a predictive value for the evaluation of the efficacy of chemo/radiotherapy. Nevertheless, the data obtained may be useful for the selection of patients for the more intensive adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
From 1980 till now we observed 6 cases of fibrous dysplasia primarily in patients of an older age group with a long history of the disease. Indications to operative interventions were such increasing clinical manifestations as functional derangements, progressing pain syndrome, suspected malignant transformation. In 1 patient with fibrous dysplasia after carried out earlier radiotherapy we observed malignant transformation into sarcoma with process progressing and lethal outcome. Variants of extended operative interventions in cases of craniofacial form of fibrous dysplasia are discussed as well as modern techniques of reconstruction of such defects of craniofacial zone.
