[Allergic reactions in patients with peptic ulcer; incidence of food and drug allergy].

According to the data derived in the course of studying the allergological anamnesis and disease clinical picture, 70% of 241 patients with peptic ulcer manifested different allergic reactions. Elevation of IgE blood content recorded in 47% of 173 patients examined also attested to the high rates of allergization among this patients' population. Analysis of the prevalence of food and drug allergy among the 241 patients aged 16 to 65 years demonstrated the allergies to occur in 25 and 30% of patients, respectively.

[Clinico-immunologic indices in chronic pancreatitis patients and changes in them during diet therapy].

Study of the clinical and immunological indicators in 101 patients with chronic recurrent pancreatitis has demonstrated that 98.5% of the examined were sensitized to pancreatic antigen (according to the data of the different tests of cell immunity). The total immunological responsiveness in chronic pancreatitis patients did not differ from that in normal subjects.

[Effect of the alimentary factor on certain indices of the functional state of the pancreas in young peptic ulcer patients and atrophic gastritis patients].

The activity of amylase, lipase and trypsin was increased and that of the trypsin inhibitor decreased in the blood serum of young peptic ulcer patients as compared with healthy persons. The antiulcerous dietetics normalized significantly the parameters studied. Similar highly pronounced shifts in the activity of the blood pancreatic enzymes were revealed in atrophic gastritis patients.

[Role of the alimentary factor in the genesis and recurrences of peptic ulcer].

Dietetic history data covering 500 persons with duodenal ulcer, 200 of whom aged from 16 to 25 and 300--from 26 to 55 years, and recorded in a questionnaire of a medico-information chart were subjected to a detailed analysis with reference to a complex set of factors characterizing the pattern and qualitative peculiarities of the nutrition. Most of the examined (predominantly the young) demonstrated disordered pattern and quality of nourishment and imbalance of food rations. Of greatest frequency were perturbations in the alimentation rhythm (in 76% of the youths and 81% of mature adults), abuse of carbohydrates, largely of easily assimilable ones (in 71 and 59% of the patients, respectively), excessive consumption of animal fats (in 64 and 41.

[Effect of a diet containing protein-mineral enrichment on the course of chronic gastritis with secretory inadequacy and ulcer desease].

The effect of a rational diet and of antiulcerous diets containing a proteinic-mineral enrichment (in an amount of 20--30 g) on the clinical symptomatology, the peripheral blood picture and some biochemical blood serum characteristics in patients with atrophic gastritis and duodenal ulcer was studied. In cases of atrophic gastritis with hypoferremia the proteinic enrichment was incorporated in the diet (rational) in an amount of 80--90 g per day. Control observations were conducted over analogous groups of patients receiving the same diets, but without proteinic enrichment.
