[Serotonin level in endocrine cells in bronchial mucosa and stomach in chronic obstructive lung diseases]
Abstract:
85 patients aged 26-60 years with pulmonary chronic obstructive diseases (PCOD) and gastric and duodenal erosive-ulcerous lesions were investigated. In PCOD the increased bioamines level in endocrine cells of bronchial ciliated epithelium and gastric glandular epithelium was detected before the treatment. The complex treatment in the form of bronchoscopy with lymphotropic administration of antibiotic and immunomodulator against the background of intragastral ozonotherapy contributes to the decrease in tissue edema, restoration of their trophicity and inflammatory process resolution. Against the background of therapy the serotonin content in endocrine cells of bronchial ciliated epithelium and gastric mucosa decreased to the norm.
