DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to medicine, in particular to gastroenterology, surgery, and can be used in predicting complications of duodenal ulcer.

There is a known method for predicting the course of peptic ulcer disease [patent RU 2043635, G 01 N 33/50], where by the change in the concentration of free hydrochloric acid, pepsin, total, insoluble, soluble mucus in the histamine stimulated portion compared to basal (by the ratio ratio) Predict the course of duodenal ulcer and at the values ​​of these factors equal to 0.98 ± 0.22 in the basal portion, 1.88 ± 1.20 in the stimulated histamine portion and / or 3.22 ± 1.44 and 6.54 ± 1.15, respectively, predict a favorable course of the disease with conservative treatment, with the coefficients equal to 2.74 ± 0.24 and 3.60 ± 0.42, and 3.62 ± 1.12 and 6.43 ± 0.85 In the corresponding portions of the gastric juice, a favorable course of the disease during surgery, and at values ​​of the coefficients equal to 3.46 ± 1.29 and - 6.08 ± 2.3, respectively, predict an unfavorable course of the disease with conservative and surgical treatment.

Given the direct connection of duodenal ulcer with Helicobacter pylori infection, in this case, a method for predicting the course of duodenal ulcer taking into account histological and immunological criteria is proposed.

Histological method is one of the mandatory in the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection and morphological changes in the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum. The immunological method provides information on the depth of changes in the body's immune system for Helicobacter pylori infection. Determination of the level of immunoglobulins is an accessible and compulsory screening parameter for an immunological study.

Therefore, as a prototype, two methods are chosen:

- a method for predicting the course of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer in patients with pyloric campylobacter [patent RU 2007728, G 01 N 33/68], where in patients with pyloric campylobacter, the content of cationic proteins in the integumentary epithelium of the duodenum is determined on the smears. At the content of cationic proteins in epithelium less than 0.8 and cationic proteins in granulocytes less than 1.0 in combination with bacterial contamination of more than 50 microns (+++), the decompensation of the bactericidal protection system of the mucosa and the threat of complications are judged. However, the disadvantage of the method is that it does not reflect the connection of the development of complications with the reaction of the duodenal mucosa to contamination by its infection with Helicobacter pylori;

- a method for predicting the course of peptic ulcer [RU 2006040, G 01 N 33/68], where the level of interleukin-1 in the spontaneous test is 0.34 ± 0.14 conv. Units , In the stimulated - 1.33 ± 0.2 conv. Ed. Determine an unfavorable prognosis during the course of the disease.

The disadvantage of this method is the high cost of reagents for determining interleukin-1 and the need for special equipment of an immunological laboratory

OBJECT OF THE PRESENT INVENTION:

- with the help of histological methods of investigation, to ensure the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection on the duodenal mucosa, to evaluate the severity of morphological changes (the presence of gastric metaplasia);

- Using immunological methods to assess the nature and depth of shifts in the immune system and thereby ensure the possibility of predicting complications of duodenal ulcer.

The technical result is the timely prevention of complications of duodenal ulcer.

This task is achieved by the fact that in the claimed method of predicting the likelihood of complications in duodenal ulcer by histological and immunological examination, according to the invention, a histological examination of duodenum mucosa biopsy specimens is made in the periulcerous zone, and the level of immunoglobulins of class G in the patient's serum is determined. If the infection of Helicobacter pylori, full gastric metaplasia in duodenum in the periulcerous zone is detected histologically, the level of immunoglobulin G in the blood serum is lower than 6.62 ± 0.8 g / l, determined by the immunological method (in the control group, the concentration of immunoglobulins of class G was 12, 4 ± 0,05 g / l, in patients with peptic ulcer of duodenum without complications 8.77 ± 0.77 g / l), predict the likelihood of complications of peptic ulcer disease of the duodenum.

Studies on patent and scientific and technical information sources have shown that the proposed method for predicting the risk of complications of duodenal ulcer is not known and should not be explicitly studied from the level of technology studied, that is, it meets the criteria of "novelty" and "inventive level."

The proposed method is carried out using known techniques:

- Diagnosis of infection of Helicobacter pylori in the duodenal mucosa by histological method using criteria Aruin LI With et al. (1993);

- Diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection by the urinary respiratory method (Kornienko EA, Mileika VE, 1996);

- determination of the concentration of serum immunoglobulins by radial immunodiffusion in a gel (Manchini, 1966);

- Evaluation of morphological changes in the mucous membrane of the duodenum according to the visual analogue scale (Dixon MF et al, 1994).

55 patients with peptic ulcer of duodenum were examined. Of these, 33 patients had complications, 22 without complications. All patients underwent a comprehensive examination with mandatory inclusion for each of the above histological and immunological methods.

To build a mathematical model of individual forecasting, the computer program STATISTICA 5.0 for WINDOWS was used.

Using the module "Classification and single-factor analysis of variance", the most informative features were determined for the construction of the forecast model (with the probability of intergroup differences less than 0.05): detection of Helicobacter pylori infection with the probability of intergroup differences 0.01, total gastric metaplasia with the probability of intergroup differences 0 , 03, the concentration of immunoglobulins of class G with the probability of intergroup differences of 0.02. Further, using the "Dispersion Analysis" module, the value of Wilkes 0.317 was obtained, which indicated good discrimination.

Then, using the discriminant analysis for each group, the coordinates of the group centroids were found, which are the eigenvalues ​​of the canonical functions (see Table 1-3).

To predict complications and assign a patient to one or another group, it is necessary to calculate the values ​​of both canonical functions and determine the Euclidean distance (the square of the Mahalanobis distance) from the obtained point to each of the centroids.

Interpretation of Table 3: the case belongs to the group with the minimum distance to the group centroid.

Results of calculation of the created mathematical model: probability of correct classification of patients of the I group 95.2%, Group II 88.2%. The total power of the model is 90.9%.

In order to determine which classification group the patient belongs to, it is necessary to calculate the classification marks (the case coordinates) that are the values ​​of the functions F1 (x) and F2 (x), and then determine the distances from the obtained point to each of the group centroids. The minimum distance indicates the patient's belonging to a certain group.

F1 (x) = 13.232 h HP + 0.132 × M + 1.846 × IgG-1,850,

F2 (x) = 23.108 H HP + 1, 627 × M + 2.109 × IgG-3.588.

The distances to the group centroids (R1, R2) were calculated from the formula using the mean values ​​of the canonical variables Z.

R = C (F1 (x) -Z1) 2 + (F2 (x) -Z2) 2 ,

R1 = C (F1 (x) + 0.495) 2 + (F2 (x) + 0.087) 2 ,

R2 = Ц (F1 (x) -1.862) 2 + (F2 (x) +1.151) 2 .

In the formulas:

HP is the coefficient corresponding to the degree of contamination of the duodenal mucosa (1 - poor degree of seeding (+), 2 - medium degree of seeding (++), 3 - high degree of seeding +++).

M - complete gastric metaplasia, corresponds to the classification code 2 in this model.

IgG is the concentration of class G immunoglobulins in serum, g / l.

Next, we determine the minimum distance and classify the patient into the appropriate group.

Thus, clinical examples demonstrate the role of contamination of the duodenal mucosa by the infection of non-Illicobacter pylori, gastric metaplasia on the duodenal mucosa in the formation of complications of duodenal ulcer.

This is the result of a persistent persistence of Helicobacter pylori infection in the gastric epithelium, and then as the foci of gastric metaplasia and duodenum form. This phenomenon can be explained by switching off the mechanisms of bicarbonate secretion by epithelial cells of the duodenum due to the mechanical replacement of its gastric epithelium. Persistence of Helicobacter pylori and recurrent ulcerative process lead to fibrosis of the wall of the duodenum. The vessels of the microcirculatory bed are entangled in the fibrous tissue, as a result of which this line of protection of the epithelium of the duodenum also suffers.

IgG - the response of plasma cells is Helicobacter pylori - specific. As the formation of gastric metaplasia on duodenum mucosa and the colonization of its Helicobacter pylori, a gradual depletion of the IgG-mediated response occurs, which is ascertained in patients with complicated duodenal ulcer. That is, colonization of the duodenal mucosa of Helicobacter pylori, complete gastric metaplasia and a decrease in IgG concentration in the serum of patients with peptic ulcer of the duodenum are the links of one pathological process.

The proposed method is highly informative and reflects the depth of reactions occurring in the body in response to Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with duodenal ulcer, meets the current level of examination and management of a gastroenterological patient. Can be used in a medical institution, diagnostic unit, research laboratory, equipped with equipment for routine morphological and immunological studies.

Therefore, the claimed invention meets the criterion of "industrial applicability".
