[Status of immune reactivity in patients after surgery on the bile ducts using various methods of combined general...

The immune status was studied in two groups of patients after surgery on bile ducts performed under neuroleptanalgesia (NLA) or electroacupuncture++ (EAP) analgesia. It has been established that neither EAP analgesia nor NLA have a considerable effect on immunoreactivity of patients operated on bile ducts. The use of agents for NLA in combined general analgesia inhibits intracellular lymphocyte metabolism which can entail their functional disturbances. EAP analgesia somewhat activates metabolic process in lymphocytes, while agents for NLA increase phagocytic activity of neutrophils.
