The aim of our investigation was to determine the state of anti-endotoxin (AET) immunity in patients with moderate and severe persistent bronchial asthma. 109 patients were examined receiving outpatient treatment of the basic disease. All patients were divided into two groups: group 1 — patients with moderate bronchial asthma — 68 subjects (62,4%) with average score of 3.00 ±0.14 according to ACQ, FEV<sub>1</sub> — 67.01 ± 2.10 %; group 2 — patients with severe bronchial asthma — 41 subjects (37,6 %) with average score of 4.06 ± 0.12 according to ACQ, FEV<sub>1</sub> — 34.45 ± 1.05 %. It was proved that in both clinical groups the levels of total secretory IgA and secretory AET-lgA in induced sputum were higher than those of healthy donors. It was observed the increase of the level of AET-IgM in blood serum in both clinical groups in comparison with donors, as for the level of serum AET-IgG patients of the studied groups were treated as normal responders. It was registered the increased level of AET-lgA in blood serum in group 1, in group 2 this indicator was getting closer to that of the donors. The increased level of C-reactive protein was determined in both groups. It is assumed that the imbalance of anti-endotoxin immunity influences the severity and the course of bronchial asthma according to the phenomenon of endotoxin aggression.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficiency of multimodal analgesia in patients after extensive laparoscopic surgery on the organs of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The study involved 127 surgical patients aged 65 ± 13 years, operated routinely using the laparoscopic technique (group 1) or laparotomy (group 2). According to the method of anesthesia in the first group there were identified 2 subgroups: in the 1A subgroup there was used a combination of nonnarcotic anti-inflammatory drugs and epidural analgesia (EA) and in the 1 В subgroup epidural analgesia was not applied. Anesthesia in patients of group 2 was performed according to the method of the 1A subgroup. In the postoperative period, on the 2nd, 6th and 11th days there was made a dynamic estimation of parameters of central hemodynamics (CHD) using noninvasive rheographic techniques; as well as an assessment of pain and physical activity. There was identified early recovery of physical activity in the 1B subgroup, despite more intense pain syndrome in comparison with the 1A and the 2nd groups. The estimation of parameters of CHD had the highest decrease of myocardial contractility in the 1 В subgroup followed by reduction of the initial values by the 11th day. According to the results of the study there was made a conclusion that the epidural analgesia should be considered as a mandatory component of intra- and postoperative anesthesia when performing extensive laparoscopic surgery on the organs of the gastrointestinal tract.
