[Significance of chemiluminescent tests in assessing efficacy of ulcer treatment with microwave resonance].

To study prognostic value of chemiluminescent (CL) test of duodenal ulcer treatment efficacy with microwave resonance therapy (MWRT), 39 duodenal ulcer patients were divided into two groups differing only by the size of ulcer defect. In 23 patients of the first group scarring occurred after 10 MWRT procedures. In 16 patients of the second group scarring of the ulcer occurred after 10-20 procedures. By the level of lipid hydroperoxides and antioxidant activity it was found that rapid healing of ulcer is accompanied with a positive change in the total antioxidant activity whereas slow healing in MWRT occurs in reduced total antioxidant potential and seems to depend on the size of ulcer defect.
