[Morphofunctional changes in gastrointestinal tract in patients with psoriasis accompanied by chronic opisthorchosis].

The paper covers clinical, morphological and functional aspects of gastrointestinal tract condition in patients with psoriasis accompanied by chronic opisthorchosis (CO). The authors examined 150 patients with psoriasis accompanied by CO, 100 patients having psoriasis without helminthiasis, 100 patients with CO and 30 healthy people. The gastric secretion was evaluated by means of the fractional test (both phases) with histamine stimulation; other diagnostic procedures included carbohydrate absorption evaluation (5-gram D-Xylose absorption test) and Kamer test of fat absorption.

[Clinical endoscopic and pathomorphologic study of the stomach in vibration disease].

The authors present results of manifold evaluation of stomach in 109 patients with vibration disease caused by various vibration characteristics. The evaluation covered clinical signs, laboratory studies, endoscopic and pathomorphologic methods with light and electronic microscopy, in vitro radioautography and morphostereologic analysis. Features of gastric disease in vibration disease are asymptomatic course, depressed gastric secretion, prevalent atrophic changes of mucosa on endoscopy.
