[Dynamics of prostaglandin E content in patients with duodenal ulcer various treatment regimens]

PGE levels were measured in duodenal ulcer patients treated by H2-blockers of histamine receptors of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO). Histadyl is shown to cause a marked decrease in gastric juice PGE concentrations in contrast to HBO that raised PGE levels close to normal values. It is thought necessary to administer long-term maintenance therapy after cicatrisation of the ulcer lesion with the drugs improving local microcirculation and stimulating bicarbonates production in gastric mucosa, synthetic prostaglandins analogues, in particular.
