Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been used to successfully treat perineal Crohn's disease. We describe the first successful use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, refractory to conventional therapies. Therapy consisted of 30...
Recent studies have suggested that nitric oxide (NO.), the product of nitric oxide synthase in inflammatory cells, may play a part in tissue injury and inflammation through its oxidative metabolism
In this study the colonic generation of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and nitric oxide synthase activity was determined in ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Colonic biopsy specimens were obtained from inflammatory bowel disease patients and from normal controls. Mucosal explants were cultured in vitro for 24 hours and NOx generation was determined. Nitric oxide synthase activity was monitored by the conversion of [3H]-L-arginine to citrulline. Median NOx generation by inflamed colonic mucosa of patients with active ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s colitis was 4.2- and 8.1-fold respectively higher than that by normal human colonic mucosa.
Abstract: The paper is concerned with current status of nonspecific ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects are considered. Crohn's disease was studied in its variants. Hyperbaric oxygenation introduced in combined...
Abstract: Patients with nonspecific ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease were treated with drug therapy (prednisolone, sulphasalazine, metronidazole per os and hydrocortisone per rectum) and subjected to 12 sessions of HBO. Every 10-14 months the HBO course was...
Abstract: 34 patients with chronic ulcerohemorrhagic colitis in exacerbation were treated with hyperbaric oxygenation in addition to the routine therapy. Two chambers model "Dräger" 1000 and 1200 were used. The total course of treatment included 10-12...
