ABSTRACT
The efficiency of spa treatment in combination with intravenous He-Ne laser (wavelength 0.63 microns) radiation of the blood was studied in 152 patients with bronchial asthma of endogenous genesis, mainly with that of moderate severity. By the end of 24-day treatment there were clinical improvements, better external respiratory parameters, and alleviated inflammation.

The work analyses the results of late-term follow-up of 525 patients who underwent selective proximal vagotomy (SPV) in different variants. The results were gained on the basis of long-standing follow-up with the use of the complex dispensary method. The frequency of peptic ulcer recurrences after SPV was 10%. The main causes of the recurrences were: incomplete vagotomy of the parietal cell zone and inadequate selection of patients for this intervention. Finally, the authors demonstrate the clinico-pathogenetical variants of the course of peptic ulcer when SPV cannot correct the existing disorders and the therapeutic effect of the operation is doubtful. All the aforesaid dictates the need for specialization of surgeons-gastroenterologist who are engaged in this problem and for strict determination of the indications for SPV.

The efficacy of physiotherapy (induction therapy, microwave irradiation, acupuncture) for chronic bronchitis with obstructive syndrome (254 patients) was evaluated in relation to the disease genesis and the nature of bronchial obstruction by clinical, functional and biochemical evidence. The best results in restoration of the bronchial patency were obtained in patients with transient obstruction of allergic origin. This fact can be attributed to enhancement of the activity of proteinase alpha 1-inhibitor and kininogenase inactivation. Of all the modalities used, induction therapy and acupuncture proved the most efficient. The authors propose differentiated indications for the physiotherapy variants with regard to pathogenetic specificity of the disease.
