The article focuses on the prevalence of most common factors for origination and relapse of ulcer disease. In large contingents of patients with gastric and duodenal ulcer frequency is shown of factors for the development and progress of ulcer disease.

It is for the first time in Ukraine that a study has been made on the epidemiology of H. pylori infection among patients with disorders of the stomach and duodenum. The diagnosis of the infection was done with the aid of various invasive and noninvasive tests, 13C-urea breathing test, a unique for Ukraine and countries of the Western Europe method of examination included. Ascertained among the above category of patients was wide prevalence of H. pylori, which fact confirms its leading etiological role in disorders of the stomach and duodenum once again.

AIM: The study pulmonary metabolism by exhalation condensate of expired air (CEA) and ways of its correction in patients exposed to radiotherapy to the chest area. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 25 women aged 20 to 40 years with breast cancer stage I-II were divided into two groups: control group underwent conservative treatment without correction and the study group was given the extract of Ural licorice for 14 days. In CEA, lipid peroxidation enzymes and products of thiobarbituric acid were assayed. Biochemical examination of CEA was done by means of Cobas mira automatic analyzer. RESULTS: Administration of Ural licorice promoted inactivation of lipid peroxidation and maintenance of most of the biochemical parameters on the baseline level. This effect may be due to composition of the Ural licorice which contains antioxidants and stimulators of lung surfactant synthesis. CONCLUSION: Administration of Ural licorice extract seems promising for prevention of radiation complications in the lungs during radiotherapy to the chest area.
