[Incidence, intensity and clinical manifestations of antral gastritis in duodenal ulcer in women and their relation to Campylobacter pylori]. / Chastota, vyrazhennost' i klinicheskie proiavleniia antral'nogo gastrita pri iazvennoi bolezni dvenadtsatiperstnoi kishki u zhenshchin i ikh sviaz' s Campylobacter pylori.

It was established during examination of 120 women with duodenal ulcer that in 48 percent of them the clinical disease manifestations were typical. In patients with an atypical disease course, the painful syndrome was not pronounced. It was not dependent on food intake or season. 34.2 percent of the patients had, instead of pains, a feeling of heaviness in the epigastric area, heartburn and eructation depending on the antral gastritis severity. The ulcers measured 5 mm and less in 75.6 percent of the cases. Superficial antral gastritis was recognized in 69.4 and atrophic one in 25.4 percent of the patients. Secretion appeared elevated in 48.3 percent of the patients. The duodenogastral reflux was established in 68.5 percent of the cases. 75 percent of the women showed Campylobacter pyloridis in antral mucosa.

[Immunoreactive insulin, C-peptide and insulin-containing erythrocytes in chronic pancreatitis]. / Immunoreaktivnyi insulin, C-peptid i insulinsoderzhashchie éritrotsity pri khronicheskom pankreatite.

The levels of immunoreactive insulin, C-peptide and insulin containing erythrocytes were studied in 26 patients on the 2nd and 12th day of their stay in hospital. A higher level of C-peptides was found in the patients as compared to healthy subjects. The level of immunoreactive insulin of the patients did not differ significantly from that of healthy subjects. The number of insulin containing erythrocytes in the patients was much lower than in healthy subjects. Their number after therapy did not rise considerably. There was no correlation between these indices.

[Morphofunctional status of the small intestine after disruption of its extrinsic innervation]. / Morfofunktsional'noe sostoianie tonkoi kishki pri narushenii ee ékstraorgannoi innervatsii.

Within 6 months after decentralization of the rat and dog intestine, signs of reinnervation appear. Hypersecretion of the intestine juice, a decrease in the acetylcholine and noradrenaline contents, reduction of the invertase and alkaline phosphatase activity in the juice and homogenate of the small intestine occur during first weeks. The activating effect of the food on transmitter-enzymatic processes weakens whereas activity of the enteral nervous system is enhanced. The data obtained are significant for intestine transplantation research.
