The article provides data on prevalence and smoking status assessment among students of senior courses of medical university, the purpose of the study was to evaluate smoking prevalence and status in students of medical university in order to develop recommendations on healthy life style promotion. 58 senior students, 18 men and 40 women, were under study. Screening survey, spirometry, Fagerstrem test, questionnaires on motivation to stop smoking and test to reveal chronic bronchitis were held. Smoking was highly spread among the students of therapeutic faculty. The longest period of smoking was detected among male students of medico-prophylactic, and the highest intensity was revealed among female students of therapeutic faculty. Nicotine addiction in all groups was described as «very weak» and the highest degree was marked among men of medico-prophylactic faculty in particularly. Unwillingness of students (lack of motivation) to stop smoking was determined

The research goal is to reveal influence of laser therapy on endobronchial changes and integrated indicator of inflammatory process in complex treatment of patients with chronic bronchitis. 64 patients with chronic bronchitis divided into 2 clinical groups have been under study: 33 patients with chronic purulent obstructive bronchitis and 31 - with chronic purulent nonobstructive bronchitis. Bronchial fibroscopic investigation of mucous membrane of bronchial tubes and biochemical research of blood have been performed to reveal endobronchitis degree and integrated indicator of inflammatory process. Indicators have been expressed in points: under 1 - moderated, 1-2 - expressed and more than 2 points - sharp changes. Results have demonstrated that the combination of drug therapy with endobronchial laser irradiation has an optimum anti-inflammatory effect indicated by decrease of endobronchitis degree - 1,12 and 0,81 points and integrated indicator - 1,75 and 0,75 (Р <0,01). That allows to recommend introduction of endobronchial laser irradiation into the complex therapy of chronic bronchitis
