Morphofunctional condition of gastric mucosa in acalculous diseases of the biliary tract

Abstract

Aim. To study morphofunctional peculiarities of gastric mucosa in native and migrant rural population of North Siberia. Material and methods. A comprehensive clinicomorphological examination including physical examination, ultrasonic scanning, cholecystography, duodenal intubation, intragastric pH-metry, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, quantitative and qualitative investigations of gastric mucosa was conducted in 148 migrants (Russians, Ukrainians) and 165 evenks living in Evenkia. Results. In both population groups, more often in the migrants, in cholecystitis vs dyskinesia patients frequency of atrophic changes in gastric mucosa was higher while acid production in the stomach was lower, antral gastritis more active. Conclusion. Morphofunctional condition of the stomach influences the condition of the bile tract in native and migrant population of North Siberia.
