[Use of resort factors in Novosibirsk region in the treatment of digestion system diseases].

Hydrocarbonate-chloride-sodium mineral water has a prokinetic effect, reduces lithogenicity of bile and decreases the level of glycoproteins in biological fluids improving their rheological characteristics. Saline "rapa" baths decrease intragastric pH, stimulate pancreatic secretion, normalize mucus composition and activate protective-adaptive mechanisms of organism. Pelotherapy modulate gastric juice acidity making antigelicobacteria effect and decrease glycoproteins concentration of digestive sectets.

[The role of leukocytes in mechanism of action of balneopeloidotherapy].

Treatment with alkaline sulfide mud activates oxidant activity of neutrophils which stimulate body defense and adaptation but can provoke balneoreactions. Lysosomic membranes remain stable as mud does not stimulate phagocytosis. Peloid therapy stimulates a monocytic (macrophagal) lineage of hemopoiesis directed to elimination of intracellular microflora and products of inflammation.
