Content of fucose, neutral hexoses and sialic acids in duodenal juice in duodenal ulcer and chronic acalculous cholecystitis

Abstract

The aim of our work was to estimate the state of fucoglycoprotein and sialoglycoprotein secretion in duodenal ulcer disease. We examined 125 patients aged from 16 to 60 years divided into five groups. The 1st group included 29 patients (17 men and 12 women) with acute exacerbation of peptic ulcer disease; the 2nd group included 20 patients (11 men and 9 women) with moderate exacerbation of the disease; the 3rd group included 21 patients (11 men and 10 women) with clinical remission; the 4th group included 38 patients (18 men and 20 women) with exacerbation of chronic acute cholelithiasis. The 5th control group included 17 (10 men and 7 women) healthy people. The duration of the disease varied from one year to 20 years.
