Effect of cognitive behavior intervention combined with drug therapy on quality of life in patients with gastric duodenal ulcer / 中国生化药物杂志

Objective To investigate the effect of combination therapy with cognitive behavior on the quality of life of patients with gastroduodenal ulcer.Methods The patients with gastroduodenal ulcer treated in our hospital from April 2015 to April 2017 were randomly divided into intervention group and control group according to the order of treatment.Both groups were treated with bismuth-containing quadruple therapy and routine nursing was performed.The intervention group received cognitive behavior on this basis.SF-36 scale was used to evaluate the quality of life of the two groups of patients, and the prognosis of the patients was evaluated.The patient satisfaction was investigated by the self-designed questionnaire of patient satisfaction questionnaire.The clinical efficacy, treatment compliance, quality of life improvement, prognosis and satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate was 96.67%(58/60) in the intervention group and 81.67%(49/60) in the control group.The total effective rate of the intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).The scores of SF-36 scale in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of complications in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group, and the satisfaction rate was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Cognitive behavioral intervention combined with bismuth quadruple therapy for gastroduodenal ulcer can improve the patient's compliance and efficacy, significantly improve the quality of life of patients, improve patient satisfaction, with clinical application value.

Long term Low-Dose Aspirin Therapy: Is Gastric Protection Necessary?

Aspirin is commonly used in primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. However, its long-term use leads to gastrointestinal compromise, such as gastric mucosal erosions, peptic ulcer, and GI bleeding. These complications are common in our daily clinical practice, as illustrated in the case of a 67-year-old male who has ischaemic heart disease and was on long-term aspirin without any gastric protection for 9 years. He was subsequently admitted for bleeding from gastric ulcers and diagnosed to be positive for H. pylori infection. The risk factors for GI damage and bleeding, and the evidence for gastric protection in long-term aspirin users are reviewed here. High-risk patients, such as those with a history of ulcer disease or gastrointestinal bleeding, should undergo screening and treatment of H. pylori infection. Concomitant use of proton-pump inhibitors is recommended as they are superior to histamine-2 receptor antagonists in prevention of GI bleeding. PPI use should also be encouraged if patients have two or more of the following risk factors: over 60 years old, corticosteroid use, dyspepsia, or gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms. Further research is needed to determine if H. pylori screening is required prior to commencement of long-term aspirin in the general population.

Comparison of clinical efficacy of laparoscopoic surgery and traditional laparotomy for gastroduodenal perforation repair / 中国现代医生

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of laparoscopoic gastroduodenal perforation repair and tradition-al laparotomic gastroduodenal perforation repair. Methods Clinical information of 64 patients admitted to the surgical department of our hospital from January 2012 to April 2013 who received different approaches of gastroduodenal perfo-ration repair was analyzed respectively, of which 34 patients received laparoscopoic surgery (laparoscopic group) and 30 patients received laparotomic surgery (laparotomic group). The length of hospital stay, hospital costs, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, exhaust time, postoperative usage rate of analgesic drugs and incidence of postoperative com-plications were analyzed comparatively. Results Both groups of patients completed the surgery successfully and were cured and discharged from hospital. None in the laparoscopic group transferred to laparotomy in the middle. The la-parotomic group was lower than the laparoscopic group in the operative time and hospital costs (P<0.05), but the laparo-scopic group was significantly lower than the laparotomic group in the length of hospital stay, intraoperative blood loss, exhaust time, postoperative usage rate of analgesic drugs and incidence of complications (P<0.05). Conclusion In terms of acute gastroduodenal perforation repair, laparoscopoic surgery causes smaller injury, enables faster recovery and has higher safety than traditional laparotomic surgery, thereby worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Effect of irrigation of peritoneal cavity with warm normal saline on expression of transforming growth factor beta-1 in the peritoneum during the laparoscopic operation / 国际外科学杂志

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of the temperature of saline for irrigation of peritoneal cavity on expression of transforming growth factor beta- 1 in the peritoneum.MethodsSixty patients scheduled for the laparoscopic repair of gastroduodenal benign ulcer perforation were randomized into two groups then surgically treated with various temperature saline.Peritoneal biopsies were taken at the beginning and end of surgery.Tissue concentrations of total and active were measured using enzymelinked immunosorbent assa technique.ResultsAt the start of surgery,there were no significant differences between groups in the total and active fractions of TGFβ1 (P ＞0.05).At the end of procedure,the peritoneal total( 135.8 ±52.8) pg/mL and active( 136.5 ± 33.0) pg/mL concentrations were significantly lower(P ＜ 0.05) in patients receiving warm normal saline.A light,nonsignificant increase in total(361.3 ± 178.9) pg/mL and active ( 198.3 ± 87.5) pg/mL TGFβ1 levels was observed in patients receiving cold saline(P ＞ 0.05).ConclusionsThe choice of warm normal saline used in irrigation of peritoneal cavity during the laparoscopic operation can decrease peritoneal transforming growth factor beta-1 concentrations.Because of the broad biological effects of TGF31,including regulation of peritoneal healing and oncological processes,this observation may have important clinical perspective.

OBJECTIVE: To assess use of stress ulcer prophylaxis in patients admitted to five pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) in Porto Alegre, Brazil. METHODS: This was a multicenter, prospective, cross-sectional observational study. PICUs were visited on randomly defined days between April 2006 and February 2007, and the medical records of admitted patients were reviewed. Patients whose records had been previously assessed were excluded, as were those with upper gastrointestinal bleeding on admission. Data were collected on age, gender, admission diagnosis, severity of illness, administration of stress ulcer prophylaxis, rationale for prophylaxis, and first-line prophylactic agent of choice. Variables were described as absolute and relative frequencies, mean and standard deviation, or median and interquartile range as appropriate. Pearson's chi-square test for linear trend or Fisher's exact test were used to assess possible associations. The level of significance was set at 5 percent (p < 0.05). RESULTS: 398 patients (57 percent male) were assessed [median age, 16 months (IQR 4-65); median length of PICU stay, 4 days (IQR 1-9)]. Respiratory illness was the main reason for admission (32.7 percent). Most patients received stress ulcer prophylaxis (77.5 percent; range, 66-91 percent). Mechanical ventilation (22.3 percent) was the most common rationale provided, followed by informal routine use of prophylaxis (21.4 percent). Only one of the participating PICUs had a specific care protocol for use of stress ulcer prophylaxis. Ranitidine was the most commonly used drug (84.5 percent of cases). Evidence of minor gastrointestinal bleeding was found in 3 percent of patients; none had clinically significant bleeds. CONCLUSIONS: Administration of stress ulcer prophylaxis is a common practice in the participating PICUs, with ranitidine the most commonly used drug. Among the various rationales provided, mechanical ventilation and informal routine use were the most prevalent.

86 patients (male: 56) with gastroduodenal ulceration divided into 2 groups: group A - patients treated by omeprazole and group B- patients treated by famotidine. The results of laparoscopic examination have shown that the gastroduodenal ulceration can be radically treated by omeprazole or famotidine in combination with antibiotics in case of gastroduodenal ulceration with H. pylori: 85.1-92.3% of patients had no pain after 4 weeks of the treatment and 100% of patients in group A and 93.61% of patients in group B had scar healing.

Evaluation the stop-bleeding effect of Sandostanin in gastroduodenal ulcer-caused hemorrhage

The study involved 30 patients (21 males, 9 females, aged from 18 to 77) who had gastroduodenal ulcer-caused bleeding at the Hospital 103 between October 1999 to July 2000. Common symptoms included dizziness, tar-like stool, fatigue and fast pulse. The patients received Sandostanin 0.1 mg two ampoule mixed in 500 ml isotonic glucose or saline solution intravenous for 4 - 5 hours in consecutive 3 days. Results: Sandostanin (octreotid) is effective for gastroduodenal ulcer-caused bleeding, stops bleeding rapidly even in first day (93.4%), reduce the amount of transfused blood, shorten the stay duration, reduce the relapse, rate of induced sclerotization and operation is lowered. Sandostanin is safe, almost free of adverse effects and should be indicated early.

Relation between H.pylory infection and intestinal dysplasia and heteroplasia in patients with gastroduodenal ulceration

2,282 patients with gastric syndrome indicated the gastric endoscopy and histopathological test in the poste-telecommunication hospital during 1996-1998 have shown that the rate of heteroplasia among patients with gastritis, pepsic ulceration, duodenal ulceration, gastro-duodenal ulceration and anastomosis stoma were 18%; 34.3%, 25%; 25%, 27.2%, respectively. The rate of dysplasia among patients with gastritis, pepsic ulceration, duodenal ulceration, gastro-duodenal ulceration and connective stoma were 3.31%; 15.09%; 8.63%; 8.33%; 22%, respectively. It is not found that there was a relation betwween age with heteroplasia and dysplasia but dysplasia and heteroplasia ococcurredn the most of patients with possitive H.pylori.

The results after more than 1 year of the histopathology of the gastric mucosa before and after eradication of H. pylori in patient with the gastro-duodenal perforation and ulceration

The Aims of this study were to investigate to the role of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication in cases of perforated peptic ulcer treated by simple surgical closure. In a large prospective study, these patients with H. pylori positive were evaluated before and after H. pylori eradication (>2 months and >1 year). Changes of gastric mocosal histopathology were assessed. Results: Improvement or resolution on the outcome of gastritis and atrophy (P<0.001) demonstrated the efficacy of eradication therapy but intestinal metaplasia did not change. Conclusions: After successful eradication of H. pylori, these lesions were restored significantly, but intestinal metaplasia is questionable

Management of perforated gastroduodenal ulceration

170 patients with perforated peptic ulcer (90% perforated duodenal ulcer and 10% perforated gastric ulcer) were included in the study from 8/1998 to 8/1999 at the Cho Ray hospital, Ho Chi Minh city. 165 patients (97.05%) were treated by simple surgical closure (including by one laparoscopic repair) with a postoperative mortality of 4.84%. 4 of them were treated by subtotal gastrectomy and one by vagotomy+ pyloroplasty without mortality. In summary, simple surgical closure is a satisfactory operation for most patients.

A study on 5 cases of severe complication of gastroduodenal ulceration after urological operation and restrospective study on the medical records in Viet Duc hospital have shown that the treatment of gastroduodenal ulceration involved ages, time of hospitalization, pathoanatomical lesions. The severe complication of gastroduodenal ulceration indicated by emergency operation for cutting 2/3 stomach with safe results.

Perforated gastroduodenal ulceration saturation via abdominal endoscopy

Remarks on laparoscopic suture of perforated peptic ulcer. Objectives: to evaluate the early result of laparoscopic repair of perforated peptic ulcer. Method: prospective study. The outcome of 26 patients having the lararoscopic repair of perforated peptic ulcer was compared with the outcome of 26 patients treated with suture via laparotomy during the same period – from Sept 1995 to Dec 1998. Results: the average operative time of laparoscopic suture was longer than for open suture (69.6 min Vs. 48.7 min; T test, p<0.05). There was no difference of the time between the laparoscopic and the open groups to resume normal diet (3.8 days). The everage hospitalization days for laparoscopic repair was shorter than for open repair (6 days; T test, p < 0.05). Conclusions: laparoscopic repair of perforated peptic ulcer is feasible, safe and effictive, has the additional and well – known advantages of minimally invasive surgery.

Results of treatment of patients with gastroduodenal ulceration by pansiron G

40 patients with gastroduodenal ulceration and positive H.pylori treated by pansiron, amoxycilline and metronidazole within 10 days. The results have shown that pansiron G was a drug that cover the gastric mucosa well and heal 70% of ulceration focuses. The H.pylori killing rate by the above outline was 65,7%.

Presence of antibody against H. pylori among patients with gastro-duodenal ulceration and healthy Vietnamese

The results of study on the sera of 110 patients with gastro-duodenal disease and 31 healthy person by indirect immuno-fluorescence assay (IFA) show that prevalence of IgG anti-H. pylori is 98.2% on patients and 77.4% on healthy persons. The proportions of IgM seropositive on both groups are 6.5%-7.3%. The discriminated point of IgG by IFA is 1:32.

Histopathological features of gastric mucosa before and after eradication of H.pylori in patients with operated perforated gastroduodenal ulceration

98 patients with perforated peptic ulcer were treated by simple surgical closure followed by H.pylori eradication. Effect of H.pylori eradication was demonstrated by improvement or resolution of histopathological lesions of chronic gastritis 97.95% compared with 60.2% in pre and postreatment lesions (p<0.0001), atrophy 20.83% vs 4.16% (p<0.0001) and intestinal metaplasia 18.75% vs 9.37% (p < 0.005). After successful eradication of H.pylori, these lesions were restored and improved significantly in patients received a new triple therapy for 7 days (OCA-7).
