title: [Correlations between clinical features, personality disorders and the antioxidant system in patients with peptic ulcer].
abstract: The examination of 68 patients with duodenal ulcer (DU) has found correlations between relations in married couples, the level of the subjective control, behavior stereotype, anxiety, neurotism, extra-introversion of the patients and antioxidant activity (AOA) of blood plasm (BP) in various clinical symptoms of the diseases. The relations between psychological factors in DU patients and BP AOA were seen in mild disease: regular terms of scarring, rare recurrences, weak mucosal inflammation, short disease duration, minimal psychological changes. A correlation analysis of interrelations between psychological factors and activity of the antioxidant system in patients with DU can be used for prognostication of the disease course.
