METHOD FOR EVALUATING THERAPEUTIC EFFICIENCY IN CASE OF GASTRODUODENAL DISEASES IN CHILDREN Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, gastroenterology. SUBSTANCE: one should carry out a biochemical salivary testing, moreover, salivary sampling should be performed on an empty stomach - a basal sample S_b and repeatedly 40-60 min after an intake of 20-30 ml olive oil - a stimulated sample S_s, then serotonin level is detected in salivary samples and at the ratio of serotonin level content in a stimulated sample against a basal one being S_s/S_b<1,0 one should detect the positive result of therapy, and at the ratio being S_s/S_b≥1,0 - no therapeutic effect is concluded on. The present method could be applied at any stage of out-patient-polyclinic and in-patient aid, it is reproducible, noninvasive, could be repeatedly used during therapy course, it depicts the balance of regulatory mechanisms in gastroduodenocholedochopancreatic area and, thus, provides high accuracy in evaluating therapeutic efficiency. EFFECT: higher accuracy of evaluation.
