[Liposomes in the combined treatment of patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis]

Liposome inhalation was included into intensive combined treatment of 78 patients with chronic bronchitis exacerbation and preasthma. As shown by investigations of respiration, central hemodynamics, lipid and protein metabolism, vitamin E concentration, chemiluminescence before, during and after treatment, liposomes promote elimination of obstruction in the airways, pO2 normalization, correction of impaired lipid and protein metabolism, an increase in vitamin E level in peripheral blood leading to antioxidant system recovery and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. The use of lipin reduces the time of treatment of bronchitis chronics 2-fold. Lipin proved also to display a cardioprotective action.
