[Contemporary approaches to diagnosis and treatment of chronic duodenitis among flying personnel]. / Sovremennye podkhody k diagnostike i lecheniiu khronicheskogo duodenita u letnogo sostava.

Causes for increased gastric and duodenal morbidity were analyzed in 435 patients. Chelibacteriosis was shown to be one of the key factors of development and recurrence of chronic duodenitis which which, in its turn, leads to physical disability retirement of flying personnel. The role of determining the immune status in dynamics in predicting recurrence, and effectiveness of therapy was confirmed. Results of the investigation indicate that "triple therapy" (Tribemol, Doxacyclin, Trichopol) of chronic duodenitis on the background of chelibacteria is most effective as it reduces length of treatment, decreases the recurrence rate and improves the clinical and certification-important indices in flying personnel.

[The characteristics of the development of gallbladder and biliary tract pathology under the influence of vibration]. / Osobennosti formirovaniia patologii zhelchnogo puzyria i zhelchevyvodiashchikh putei pod vliianiem vibratsii.

The examination of 86 helicopter pilots has shown that their exposure to vibration leads to biliary and gallbladder damage which aggravates with longer service. As indicated by spectroscopy and gas-liquid chromatography, vibration affects colloid-osmotic properties of bile: molecules grow in size, bile acids retention becomes longer.

[The laser therapy of patients with a long-term nonhealing stomach ulcer]. / Lazernaia terapiia bol'nykh s dlitel'no nezazhivaiushchei iazvoi zheludka.

Results are presented of treatment of 109 patients with prolonged nonhealing gastric ulcers using a new method of highly intensive impulse laser radiation. A scarring effect was achieved in 87% of cases. Correction of immunological indices and sanation of pathological flora, apparently, contributes to the favourable effect.

[High-intensity laser irradiation in the treatment of patients with non-healing stomach ulcers]. / Vysokointensivnoe lazernoe izluchenie v lechenii bol'nykh s dlitel'no ne zazhivaiushchimi iazvami zheludka.

A new modality--strong impulse laser radiation--has been tried in the treatment of 99 patients suffering from atonic gastric ulcer. It was found to promote cicatrization in 87% of cases. The effect may be due to correction of immunity and local microcirculation, affection of causative agents. Strong impulse laser radiation appears to be superior to ++trans-endoscopic treatments in safety and availability.

[Effectiveness of endobronchial administration of granulocyte concentrate in patients with various forms of chronic bronchitis]. / Effektivnost' éndobronkhial'nogo vvedeniia kontsentrata granulo- tsitov u bol'nykh s razlichnymi formami khronicheskogo bronkhita.

The paper concerns the efficacy of endobronchial introduction of fresh donor leukocytic mass which was studied in 56 patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis and compromised immunity in hypoactivity of alveolar macrophages. The above treatment promoted correction of the immunity shifts, activation of alveolar macrophages and eventually better prognosis in relevant patients.
