The aim: to study the peculiarities of structural and metabolic state of bone and cartilage tissue in patients in the first 12 months after total hip replacement with respect to their immune state and lipid peroxidation activity. Material and Methods. Significant laboratory predictors of initial signs of aseptic instability were singled out allowing estimating the peculiarities of bone tissue remodeling as well as humoral and cellular immunity state. Results. The obtained results demonstrated that impairments in T-lymphocyte system in patients with initial signs of aseptic instability of en-doprosthesis were accompanied by reduction of its total number (CD3+), among that due to the population of cytotoxic (CD3+CD8+) cells with simultaneous increase of T-helpers (CD3+CD4+) number. Activation of serum proosteoclasto-genic factors (TNF-a and IL-1(3) was noticed on the background of anti-inflammatory humoral immunity failure (IL-10). Conclusion. The estimation of cellular immunity state, content of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in blood serum combined with the bone tissue state markers and indexes of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant system as well as dual-energy absorptiometry allows identifying patients with high risk of further development of aseptic instability in hip joint implant in the period of up to 12 months postsurgically which can be useful while planning prevention management of implant or its components instability.
