8.01.2007 Sar-Ali Batalov is at home, recovering
after the treatment. He had two surgeries using stem cells
from September to December 2006. We remove the boy's photograph
from the first page of our site. If further treatment is necessary,
we will resume the fundraising.

Dr. Alexander V. Bystrov is telling about the treatment of his patients
at the Center of Microvascular Surgery:
"Sor-Ali Batalov has had combined plastic surgery of the bone using
a bone implant from a dead body and cell technologies (specially
cultivated autologic osteoblast cells). There were no serious complications
during the initial rehabilitation time. Now this patient is to have
plastic surgery of the skin: Collost-assisted recovery of skin above
the place where the bone was reconstructed. After that, Sor-Ali
Batalov will be discharged from hospital for rehabilitation in his
native republic. We will control the state of the implant and plan
further treatment on this basis. After the skin is healed, the boy
will be able to stand in ortheses. It is still too early to speak
about his walking by himself."
Dear friends, you have already donated a sum that is sufficient
for the treatment of Sor-Ali Batalov. So we remove the boy's story
from the first page of our Web site.

 Dear readers, please read my plea.
My name is Luisa Batalova, and my four-year-old son Sor-Ali needs
your help. He is to have an urgent operation in Moscow.
My son has got chronic osteomyelitis of the shinbone. He has had
five operations in Chechnya and one in Moscow. Part of the bone
was removed.
I am married and have three sons. The eldest one is seven years
old, the youngest one is only two. My husband has got a job, but
his salary is hardly sufficient even for our daily needs. We have
no money to pay for the operation or to buy expensive drugs.
We only hope that you will help us!
The doctor's comment
We
need your help and support!
Sar-Ali Batalov, aged 5, is a patient of the Department of Abdominal
Surgery. His present admission to the hospital took place on May
16, 2006. The boy's diagnosis is chronic osteomyelitis of the left
tibia. Condition after multiple surgeries.
Initially, the boy had numerous operations for acute osteomyelitis
at a local hospital in the Chechen Republic. Owing to lack of timely
medical help and wrong treatment tactics, the process became chronic
and a large zone of the bone was destroyed. The boy was first admitted
to our department in the August of 2004. His condition at the moment
of admission was grave. The lesion of the left tibia required multistage
reconstructive operations, including plastic surgery of the bone
defect using an allograft with introduction of stem cells. The Charity
Foundation working with the Help Group of our hospital paid for
this expensive kind of treatment. But presently a false joint between
the allograft and the proximal part of the tibia is under formation.
The boy needs yet another stage of treatment: we will take his stem
cells and grow them into osteoblasts with their subsequent introduction
into the zone where the false joint is forming.
The child's parents are people of scarce means and cannot pay for
this treatment themselves.
We will be grateful for your help in the treatment of Sar-Ali Batalov.
Yours respectfully,
the staff of the Department of Abdominal Surgery, RCCH.

The doctor's comment:
-
Batalov, 4 y.o., has almost lost the tibia as a result of aggressive
osteomyelitis followed by sequestrations. They were removed, and
now the child has a marked bone defect. To replace this defect,
we will insert a bone implant taken from the laboratory of the Central
Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics, and present-day technologies
of cell therapy will be used. That is, the boy's bone marrow was
first taken in order to make a culture of osteoblasts, then these
cells will be seeded on a specially prepared implant, and then we'll
make reconstructive surgery to replace the bone defect with this
implant.
To perform this treatment for patient Batalov, bone transplants
worth $400 are to be bought. Cell cultivation costs about $500.
