[Effects of biologically active pectin-containing dietary supplement on gastroduodenal motility in patients with a functional dyspepsia]. / Izuchenie vliianiia pektinsoderzhashchei BAD na sostoianie gastroduodenal'noi motoriki u bol'nykh s funkstional'noi dispepsiei.

For 21 patients with a functional dyspepsia the influencing biologically active additives to nutrition "Pekcecom" on dynamics of clinical symptoms and parameters gastroduodenal motility under the data gastroduodenoscintigraphy was studied. The usage of biologically active additives during 4 weeks was accompanied by deboosting of accelerated gastric emptying for want of statistically significant influencing on a normal and delayed gastric emptying and parameters of duodenal transit.

[Use of organic forms of selenium in nutrition of patients with gastrointestinal diseases]. / O primenenii organicheskoi formy selena v pitanii gastroénterologicheskikh bol'nykh.

Selenium level was determined in sera of 27 patients including 15 patients with chronic gastrointestinal diseases and 12 patients with intestinal malabsorption after some kinds of stomach or small intestine resection. Deficiency of this trace element was found in 5 patients and suboptimal concentration in 4 patients in the first group and in 3 and 5 patients of second group respectively. Supplementation of patients with 45 mg of selenium organic form based on autolysis extract of selenious baker's yeast resulted in increase of selenium level in 23 (85%) patients including all of them with selenium deficiency or suboptimal level. It was concluded about high bioavailability of selenium in supplement studied. Perturbed intestinal absorption after surgical resection of stomach or small intestine may be considered as an indication for prophylactic taking of organic selenium form preparation.

[Actual diet of patients with gastrointestinal diseases]. / Analiz fakticheskogo pitaniia bol'nykh gastroénterologiskogo profilia.

The study of actual nutrition of patients with erosive-ulcerative lesions in the gastroduodenal zone and of patients with operated ulcer has revealed defects in intake of essential nutrients by these patients: overeating of animal fat and refined carbohydrates, deficiency of oil, vitamins A, B2, C, D and food fibers.

[Optimization of dietary fat composition in erosive and ulcerative diseases of the gastroduodenal area]. / Optimizatsiia zhirovoi chasti ratsiona pri érozivno-iazvennykh porazheniiakh gastroduodenal'noi zony.

Fish oil preparation "Polyen" was used for treatment 21 patients with ulcerative diseases of the stomach or duodenum. The cicatrization of ulcer was diagnosed in 85% of patients treated by "Polyen" and in 60% of those who did not take fish oil. "Polyen" influenced fatty acid composition of erythrocyte membranes and lipid peroxidation. Authors draw a conclusion that omega-3 PUFA's can stimulate the reparative processes.

[Bile-secreting function of the liver in patients with chronic alcoholism and ways of correcting it]. / Zhelchevydelitel'naia funktsiia pecheni u bol'nykh khronicheskim alkogolizmom i puti korrektsii ee narushenii.

The examinations showed the differences in bile secretion and biochemical composition of bile in patients with chronic alcoholism II and III stages (respectively 1 and 2 groups of patients). The patients of group 1 have hypotonic gall-bladder with normal or in some cases increased speed of bile secretion with low contents of cholic acid, cholesterol and bilirubin. A type of bile secretion in patients group 2 is hypotonic-hypokinetic with patterns of bile stagnation. Treatment of patients of group 1 by cholenzyme and patients of group 2 by enterosorbent cholysorb promoted normalisation of intestinal circulation of bile components. Cholenzyme is remedy of compensation therapy and cholisorb allows to remove the bile stagnation.

[The local humoral immune system in patients with malabsorption syndrome]. / Sistema mestnogo gumoral'nogo immuniteta u bol'nykh s sindromom narushennogo vsasyvaniia.

Content of IgA, IgG, IgM, C3 and C4 components of complement, properdin factor B, acid glycoprotein, alpha 1-antitrypsin, transferrin and ceruloplasmin were studied using immunochemical procedures in blood serum, gastric and duodenal contents of healthy persons and of patients after stomach resection. In patients with symptoms of malabsorption concentration of IgA and IgG was drastically increased in gastric and duodenal contents by 51% and 188%, respectively, and by 53% and 371%, respectively. Local activation of the complement system was also observed, which involved an increase of C3 component in stomach and small intestine by 122% and 31%, respectively. As a result of postoperative anastomositis content of albumin and the properdin factor B was distinctly increased in the duodenum. The data obtained suggest that studies of various functional proteins in gastric and duodenal contents are recommended for evaluation of a disease genesis as well as for diagnosis of acute local inflammation.

[The effect of administration of beta-carotene in an oil solution on its blood serum level and antioxidant status of patients with duodenal ulcer and erosive gastritis]. / Vliianie prema maslianogo rastvora beta-karotina na ego uroven' v syvorotke krovi i antioksidantnyi status bol'nykh iazvoi dvenadtsatiperstnoi kishki i érozivnym gastritom.

Adequately good consumption of beta-carotene was observed in patients with duodenal ulcer and erosive gastritis after daily treatment with 18 mg of the carotinoid used as 0.1% oil solution: concentration of beta-carotene was increased approximately 3-fold in blood serum of these patients. Concentration of retinol was not increased in blood serum after treatment with beta-carotene, thus indicating that the drug treatment was not dangerous. Treatment with beta-carotene led to improvement in the state of the antioxidative system of these patients as resistance of erythrocytes to peroxide hydrolysis was increased while content of malonic dialdehyde was decreased in blood serum. The carotene treatment contributed to arresting pain syndrome in patients with ulcers, to cicatrization of ulcers and to disappearance of gastric mucosal membrane erosion.

[The use of monosodium glutamate in the combined therapy of patients with atrophic gastritis]. / Primenenie odnozameshchennogo glutamata natriia v kompleksnoi terapii bol'nykh atroficheskim gastritom.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) taken per os has been found to stimulate gastric secretion provoked by pentagastrin. MSG gave rise to a marked elevation of endogenic gastrin levels both in experimental animals and atrophic gastritis patients. Thirty-six patients with secretory gastric insufficiency received MSG as an additive to their food during combined therapy of their disease. The preparation proved to be well-tolerated, good stimulant of gastric secretion, efficient in digestion improvement. MSG is recommended as an adjuvant in combined therapy of atrophic gastritis.

[Potentiating effect of sodium glutamate on gastric secretion and its possible use as a clinical test]. / Potentsiruiushchee deistvie glutamata natriia na zheludochnuiu sekretsiiu i ego vozmozhnoe ispol'zovanie v kachestve klinicheskogo testa.

The authors report a potentiating effect of sodium glutamate on gastric secretion in subjects free of gastrointestinal diseases. Similar effect has been discovered in dogs. In subjects with gastric hyposecretion (chronic gastritis, functional regulatory disturbances) sodium glutamate combined with pentagastrin is a helpful tool in overall evaluation of gastric secretion. In achlorhydria is can be used for determination of a residual capacity of the stomach to secrete the hydrochloric acid in failure of humoral stimulators.

[System of antioxidant defense and activity of lysosomal hydrolase in the stomach mucosa in ulcer disease]. / Issledovanie sistemy antiokislitel'noi zashchity i aktivnosti lizosomal'nykh gidrolaz v slizistoi obolochke zheludka pri iazvennoi bolezni.

A state of blood antioxidant system and patterns of destructive processes in gastric mucosal membrane were studied under conditions of various gastroenterological diseases. Compensatory activation of glutathione peroxidase in erythrocytes and increased consumption of alpha-tocopherol and retinol were observed in these pathological forms. These alterations became less distinct during chronic development of gastric ulcerous disease simultaneously with elevation of destructive processes in gastric mucosal membrane as lysosomal endopeptidases were stimulated.

[Effect of diet and drug therapy on the rehabilitation processes in patients who have undergone radical surgery for stomach tumor]. / Vliianie dieticheskoi i lekarstvennoi terapii na protsessy reabilitatsii bol'nykh, radikal'no operirovannykh po povodu opukholi zheludka.

On the basis of the follow up of 141 patients after radical operations for gastric cancer, special diet variants have been developed with due regard for postoperative terms and the character of complications after gastric resection. Positive results of dietotherapy were recorded in 71.5% of the patients, that was evidenced by their clinical picture and laboratory data: coprological, biochemical and immunological. The condition was not changed in 15.6% of the patients, negative shifts were noted in 18 patients (12.7%), in 12 of them relapses or metastases of the tumor were recorded.
