ABSTRACT
Use of the new laboratory diagnostic methods for examining 1352 chronic bronchitis patients made it possible to establish specific features and changes that resulted from a sanatorium-spa treatment of tissue inflammatory reactions, their intensity, the degree of manifestation in the bronchovascular and alveolar-vascular pulmonary barriers, the state of resistance to recurrences, the interconnection between bronchus obstruction and inflammatory and allergic processes, and adreno- and cholinopathy. A mutual connection was found to exist between the above characteristics of chronic bronchitis.

The paper covers the results of experimental and clinical evaluation of preventive potential of some drugs and physical factors against acute and chronic inflammation in the lungs. Standard general and local reactions related to prophylaxis are specified with consideration of underlying mechanisms. Comparative preventive potentialities of the techniques and prospects of their effectiveness prediction are discussed.

Three approaches to optimal control of inflammatory diseases of the lungs are described. The first approach includes improvement of the diagnostic procedure. The second approach is based on development of new complexes of drug therapy and organization of nondrug therapy. The third approach is prophylactic. The main goals of the approaches are formulated.
