The employment of helium-neon laser as an immunomodulator resulted in an improvement of indices of cellular and humoral immunity, normalization of lipid peroxidation, increased resistance of the gastric and duodenal mucosa, reduction of the time of scarring of the ulcer defect against the background of rapid clinical remission, increase of the interrecurrence period.

[Changes in the spectrum of low-molecular physiologically active substances in patients with acute pneumonia who abuse alcohol].
