[Influence of ursodeoxycholic acid on the immune status of patients with cholesterosis of gall-bladder depending on cholesterol index in blood].

Application of ursodeoxycholic acid in a standard dosage for 3 months provided a positive effect in relation to the indexes of the immune system for patients with the cholesterosis of gall-bladder. It is shown that medicine assists renewal of T-cell immunity, renders positive influence on B-link and renewal of index of immunoregulation can be seen. Reliable increase of specific receptors to CD25, HLA-DR and high level of CD95 testifies about including of the scray reaction of organism under influence of ursodeoxycholic acid on the remaining high indexes of B-cell of immunity.

[Determination of the pancreatic inflammatory process activity in chronic pancreatitis].

There were 21 patients examined, who suffered chronic pancreatitis (CHP) in different activity of pancreatic inflammatory process. In the blood serum the contents of the inflammation markers was determined: tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-10 (IL-10), ratio TNF-alpha/IL-10 was calculated, as well as activity of elastase in feces. Analysis of these indices permits to estimate the activity of pancreatic inflammatory process in patients, suffering CHP, what secures rising of the preoperative diagnosis and treatment efficacy, as well as reduction of intra- and postoperative complications rate.

Subjects And Methods: Ninety-four patients with Stages II and III COPD and 20 gender- and age-matched healthy non-smoking volunteers were examined. Interviews, analysis of laboratory data, enzyme immunoassay, and somatometry were made.

[Particular features of the relationship of Helicobacter pylori and G cells in patients with duodenal ulcer, with special reference to the Helicobacter pylori strain].

Helicobacter pylori positive form of duodenal ulcer (CagA+ and CagA-) was studied in 120 patients with duodenal ulcer (DU). CagA+ was found in 78 patients (65%); CagA(-)--in 42 (35%). Diagnostic criteria of symbiosis between Helicobacter pylori and macroorganisms have been established.
