ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of emergent endoscopic injection of tissue adhesive (N-oclyl-a-cyanoacrylate) combined with endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) for esophageal and gastric varices bleeding. Methods Data of 21 patients with acute esophageal and gastric varices bleeding who received emergent endoscopic injection of tissue adhesive and EVL were retrospectively studied. Results The instant hemostatic rate was 95% (20/21) with no severe complications. Conclusion Emergent endoscopic injection of tissue adhesive combined with EVL is an effective and safe therapy for esophageal and gastric varices bleeding.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the effect of helicobacter pylori on gastric mucosal cell proliferation in gastritis. Methods: Fifty-six gastritis patients with or without Helicobacter pylori infection (Hp+ 27; Hp- 29) were selected. The expression of proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), transforming growth factor beta receptor type Ⅰand typeⅡ(TGF?RⅠ, TGF?RⅡ) in gastric mucosa were examined by immunohistochemical method. Results: The PCNA and EGFR were significantly higher in Hp positive chronic gastritis patients than in Hp negative ones(P
