[Effectiveness of synthetic antioxidants in treatment of patients with peptic ulcer (an open randomized controlled trial)].

Two randomized groups of ulcer patients were compared. 102 patients of group 1 were treated with synthetic antioxidants (dibunol, probucol, emoxipine), while 100 patients of group 2 received a conventional treatment. Treatment results in group 1 appeared better: shortening of ulcer scarring, higher percentage of ulcer healing for 2 and 4 weeks, fall in the number of relapses during the first year of the follow-up, improvement in lipid peroxidation and antioxidant activity.

[Effect of the antioxidant dibunol on hemostatic parameters in patients with non-healing ulcers].

Dibunol, antioxidant drug, made in Russia was given to 42 patients aged 18-59 with unhealing ulcer 0.64 c 0.06 cm in diameter treated previously without effect for 99.

[Detection of enterochromaffin cells by the luminescence method with lighting from the side].

A method is suggested to detect luminescence of enterochromaffin cells of the intestinal tract after a routine fixation of sections in 10% formalin, imbedding in paraffin, and examination under the microscope when the light is directed to the preparation laterally, at the angle of 30--40 degrees. The sections fixed on the glass are deparaffined (xyline, chloroform), dried quickly in the air until "bleaching" and mounted in vaseline oil. Under a light microscope, with lateral illumination of the preparation, enterochromaffin cells have golden yellow luminescence.
