Calcitrin (3 units intramuscularly; course--15-18 injections) was used in the treatment of 59 patients with gastric and duodenal ulcer along with routine therapy. The efficacy of treatment was evaluated by dynamic endoscopic determination of ulcer reparation and normalization of the level of regulatory peptides. Results indicate that calcitrin treatment was followed by a more enhanced ulcer scarring (average 4-5 days) as compared with the control. Endoscopic remission was observed in 54 patients.

[The content of regulatory peptides in the blood of patients with chronic gastric and duodenal diseases].

The content of gastrin, beta-endorphin, insulin, C-peptide in 129 patients with chronic gastric and duodenal diseases was studied by standard radioimmunoassay during the acute phase of the disease and after routine treatment. It is concluded that normalization of the hormonal homeostasis is one the criteria of treatment efficacy.

[Trypsin and C-peptide concentration in the blood serum of patients with chronic pancreatitis].

A study of 47 patients suffering of chronic pancreatitis indicates that the phase of exacerbation of the disease first showed changes in the parameters of external secretion while the incretory system of the pancreas, apparently, reveals disorders at a later phase. With the purpose of correction of the hormonal homeostasis it is recommended to use microcrystalline cellulose as an addition to the diet.
