To study collagen metabolism in reparative regeneration of duodenal ulcer in response to peat mud electrophoresis of Uva sanatorium using sinusoidal modulated currents (SMC) as monotherapy in a day hospital, 82 duodenal ulcer patients in exacerbation or attenuation were examined. They received SMC-electrophoresis of peat mud diluted by sulfate sodium-calcium mineral water Uvinskaya of moderate mineralization. The dynamics of clinico-endoscopic and morphological picture of the disease was controlled with fibrogastroduodenoscopy with target biopsy of the periulcer zone and antral stomach, investigation of secretory and acid-producing function of the stomach, hormone profile and collagen metabolism. Positive changes were found attributed to favourable shifts in the hormone status and normalization of collagen metabolism in duodenal mucosa.

The authors describe morphofunctional changes in gastroduodenal tract in patients with chronic gastroduodenitis. Some of them have previously undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis. Balneotherapy with mineral water "Uvinskaya" has a good effect in the above disease and therefore is recommended for prevention and treatment of patients with chronic gastroduodenitis as well as for prevention of repeated cholelithiasis after cholecystectomy.

In experiments with mice, guinea pigs, and dogs, a study was made of the sorptive capacity of peripheral blood cells after different gamma-radiation doses with reference to living Escherichia coli cells. The sorptive capacity of blood cells was inhibited in exposed animals the inhibition being maximum during the first 3 days following irradiation. Homologous immunoglobulin administered to mice 24 h before irradiation prevented the diminution of the sorptive capacity of cells and stimulated it during the first week following irradiation.
