ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy and safety of lansoprazole triple therapy in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) associated gastric ulcer.METHODS:A total of 80 patients with Hp associated gastric ulcer were randomly divided into control group (40 cases) and combination group (40 cases).Control group was given Lansoprazole capsules 30 mg once in the morning or before bedtime,for 6 weeks.Combination group was given Lansoprazole capsules (same usage and dosage as control group)+Clarithromycin tablets 0.5 g,twice a day+Amoxicillin dispersible tablets 1 g,twice a day,for consecutive 1 week,and then given Lansoprazole capsules 30 mg once in the morning or before bedtime,for 5 weeks.Patients with amoxicillin allergy were switched to Metronidazole tablets 0.4 g,twice a day.Hp eradication rate of 2 groups were observed;recrudescence rate of Hp negative patients and the recurrence of effective patients were observed after 6,12 months of treatment.The leve1s of Th1 cytokines (IFN-γ,IL-2,IL-12) and Th2 cytokines (IL-4,IL-6,IL-10) were observed before and after treatment,and the occurrence of ADR was recorded.RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in total response rate of ulcer healing,Hp eradication rate or the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P＞0.05).After 6 months of treatment,there was no statistical significance in recurrence rate between 2 groups (P＞0.05).The recurrence rate of combination group after 12 months of treatment and recrudescence rate of combination group after 6,12 months of treatment were significantly lower than those of control group,with statistical significance (P＜0.05).Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in Th1 type cytokines and Th2 cytokines between 2 groups (P＞0.05).After 1 week and 6,12 months of treatment,the levels of INF-γ,IL-2,IL-12 and IL-6 in 2 groups were significantly lower than before;the levels of INF-γ,IL-2 and IL-12 in combination group were significantly lower than control group after 12 months of treatment.After 1 week and 6,12 months of treatment,the levels of IL-4 and IL-10 in 2 groups were significantly higher than before;those indexes of combination group were significantly higher than those of control group after 12 months of treatment,with statistical significance (P＜0.05);but there was no statistical significance in the level of IL-6 between 2 groups (P＞0.05).CONCLUSIONS:Lansoprazole triple therapy shows significant therapeutic efficacy for Hp associated gastric ulcer,improve cytokines level and reduces recurrence rate and recrudescence rate without increasing the incidence of ADR.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of continuous video EEG monitoring on acute cerebral infarction comorbid epileptiform discharges and clinical seizures,and the relationship between cerebral infarction site and seizures.Methods Of the 337 patients continuously video EEG monitored in NICU at our department,259 were included for this study according to our inclusion and exclusion criteria.We recorded patients' epileptiform discharges,type and time of clinical onset,detailed CT and (or) MRI display,cerebral infarction site,and demographic data including admission age,gender,disease history and NIHSS score.Results There were 227/259 (88％) cases showed abnormal discharge in EEG,including 94 with side hemispheric slow wave,99 with local changes,34 with slow wave combined with epileptiform discharges.Early seizures was found in 12 cases,including 3 cases with seizure-induced cerebral infarction,9 cases with attack within one week after cerebral infarction.Ten in the 12 patients had tonic-clonic seizures,and the other 2 cases hadlocal seizures.Epileptiform discharges in EEG was found in 9 cases of the 12 patients.Clinical seizures were not observed in 25 patients with epileptiform discharges in EEG.Results on the relationship between cerebral infarction site and epileptiform discharges showed that incidence of epilepsy in patients with watershed infarction was significantly higher than other types of cerebral infarction (29.0％ vs 13.4％ and 9.0％,P =0.03,0.01 ).Conclusion Continuous video EEG monitoring is capable of detecting early epilepsy and epileptiform discharges.It can provide theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of epilepsy.
