To Develop Methods for the Rehabilitation of Chronic Gastroduodenal Pathology in Children.

A clinical examination of patients will be carried out, consisting of:

identification of complaints - epigastric pain, dyspeptic symptoms - vomiting, panos, constipation, loss of appetite (oral questioning based on standard questions and scale HBSC (Health Behaviour in School-aged Children, A.King, 1996); collection of data on the presence in the family of a patient with this disease (oral survey based on standard questions); general examination of the patient - the presence of abdominal pain syndrome, stiffness of the abdominal muscles, intestinal distention (palpation, percussion, auscultation).

The study for Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection will be based on the qualitative determination of the pathogen by two mutually unrelated methods: using a breath test (HELIK® test system with an indicator tube) and an immunochromatographic fecal sample for the presence of occult blood (erythrocyte cells).The interpretation of the test is either "positive" or "negative". The patient will be considered HP infected if both tests are positive.

Esofibrogastroduodenoscopy is carried out with an assessment of the endoscopic picture of the visible mucous membranes of the stomach and duodenum according to the criteria of the generally accepted Sydney classification (1990, with a modification of 1996), with a description of the visible mucous organ: the presence of areas of hyperemia, ulcers, atrophy, hypertrophy, scarring (visual description).

If a disease is detected, the patient will be referred for treatment to a specialized children's hospital (Tashkent), where he will receive appropriate treatment according to generally accepted standards. The effectiveness of treatment will be assessed by the manifestation of clinical symptoms:

the presence of complaints - epigastric pain, dyspeptic symptoms - vomiting, panos, constipation, loss of appetite (oral questioning based on standard questions); general examination of the patient - the presence of abdominal pain syndrome, stiffness of the abdominal muscles, intestinal distention (palpation, percussion, auscultation).

Rehabilitation of children and adolescents with chronic gastroduodenal pathology after inpatient or outpatient treatment using enteral oxygen therapy is carried out. Studies will be conducted on the content in the peripheral blood in patients:

hemoglobin (HGB, Hb, g/dL), erythrocytes (RBC, n x 1012/L), the content of hemoglobin in the erythrocyte (MCH, pg/cell), concentration in the erythrocyte of hemoglobin ( MCHC, g/dL).

EFGDS is performed with an assessment of the endoscopic picture of the visible mucous membranes of the stomach and duodenum, according to the criteria of the generally accepted Sydney classification (1990, with a modification of 1996), with a description of the visible mucous organ: the presence of areas of hyperemia, ulcers, atrophy, hypertrophy, scarring.

After rehabilitation measures using enteral oxygen therapy, repeated esofibrogastroduodenoscopy (EFGDS) will be performed. EFGDS is carried out with an assessment of the endoscopic picture of the visible mucous membranes of the stomach and duodenum according to the criteria of the generally accepted Sydney classification (1990, with a modification of 1996), with a description of the visible mucous organ: the presence of areas of hyperemia, ulcers, atrophy, hypertrophy, scarring (visual description).

Statistical data processing will be carried out using Microsoft Excel 7.0 for Windows-XP, with the definition of the arithmetic mean (M) and standard deviation (s). When characterizing the statistical significance of the differences, the Student's t-test was used, with the determination of the limit of the confidence interval based on the Student's distribution table. The results will be assessed as statistically significant at a probability level of P <0.05. Comparison is made between groups of patients receiving enteral oxygen therapy and those not receiving.
