title: [Laser therapy of duodenal ulcers: effect on indices of microcirculation, cell membrane permeability and homeostasis of trace elements].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the efficiency of including laser therapy (LT) in the duodenal ulcer (DU) treatment complex.
  
  
  METHODS
  123 patients with duodenal ulcer were examined. LT was included in the therapy complex for 89 of them. 34 patients underwent only traditional drug therapy and formed a control group. LT was carried out by 2 ways: intracavitary--by ulcer defect irradiation with the light guide through the gastroscope biopsy canal and helium-neon laser (HNL), and noninvasive--through the front abdominal wall in the corresponding areas, which was made by infrared laser (IRL).
  
  
  RESULTS
  The comparison of two groups established that by including LT in the therapy complex for DU patients the dynamics of clinical and laboratorial data is essential better than during traditional drug treatment (TMT).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It was established that the inclusion of LT in the duodenal ulcer treatment complex has a positive impact on the course of the disease. This impact was displayed as faster reverse development of clinical symptoms, positive laboratory and instrumental data dynamics, blood serum microelements content normalization, membrane permeability increase by indicators of Na-Li counter-transport in the erythrocytes membrane and microcirculation improvement, mainly in the intravascular section.
