[The state of cell regeneration (proliferation and apoptosis) of gastric mucosa in rheumatological patients].

The results of comparative analysis of apoptotic and mitotic indices in groups of patients (20 persons in each group) with rheumatologic diseases and ulcerative disease of duodenum (UDD) are shown in the article. It was established, that both apoptotic and mitotic indices in UDD patients were significantly higher than in rheumatologic patients. Indices of necrosis of gastric mucous membrane epithelial cells in UDD patients were also higher than in rheumatologic patients.
