[VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR AND SOME INDICATORS OF ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION OF PATIENTS HAVING CHRONIC
Abstract:
The aim of the study was to determine the content of vaskuloendotelian growth factor and nitric oxide in children with chronic inflammatory diseases of the stomach and duodenum. The study involved 63 children with chronic inflammatory diseases of the gastroduodenal zone. Substrate study was serum. The data obtained were compared with a group of healthy children. The highest possible content vaskuloendotelian growth factor noted in the group of children with duodenal ulcer in the acute phase and in the group of chronic gastroduodenita associated with Helicobacter pylori. According to the results of the study established the role of nitric oxide and vaskuloendotelian growth factor in the pathogenesis of gastroduodenal diseases.
