ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the risk factors of bleeding in elderly patients with peptic ulcer disease (PUD) and its correlation with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection, and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of elderly patients with PUD bleeding. Methods A total of 418 elderly PUD patients admitted to our hospital from June 2019 to June 2020 were selected. The 13C-urea breath test was used to determine HP infection. PUD patients were divided into observation group (n=87, bleeding) and control group (n=331, no bleeding). Age, sex, ulcer number, ulcer location, ulcer stage, ulcer diameter and other clinical data were collected. Univariate analysis and logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of bleeding in elderly PUD patients. The Forrest classification was used to evaluate the severity of PUD bleeding patients. Pearson correlation analysis was performed between Forrest classification and Hp infection in elderly PUD bleeding patients. Results There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the course of disease, PUD history, NSAIDs application/ulcer number, ulcer diameter, ulcer location, ulcer stage, Hp infection and NSAIDs application (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the use of NSAIDs, active ulcer, Hp infection and ulcer diameter ≥2 cm were risk factors for bleeding in elderly patients with PUD (P<0.05). The Hp positive rate in Forrest I patients was significantly higher than that in Forrest II and Forrest III patients (P<0.05). The positive rate of Hp in Forrest II patients was significantly higher than that in Forrest III patients. Pearson correlation analysis showed that Hp infection was positively correlated with the severity of peptic ulcer bleeding in the elderly (r=0.512, P<0.05). Conclusion The risk of bleeding from PUD is higher in the elderly, especially in patients with active ulcer, Hp infection and ulcer diameter ≥ 2 cm. In the treatment process of PUD patients, the eradication therapy of Hp should be emphasized, which can reduce the risk of bleeding.

ABSTRACT
Objective To study the clinical characteristics of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)induced peptic ulcer bleeding(PUB). Methods The case-control study was used to analyze the clinical data of 142 patients with NSAIDs-induced PUB and 210 patients with non-NSAIDs-induced PUB. Results There were significant differences between the two groups regarding sex and age of patient,history of rheumatic diseases or cardio-cerebral-vascular disease,types and numbers of ulcer,abdominal pain,hemoglobin concentration,and hospital stay(P<0.05),but there was no obvious difference in terms of the size of ulcer,BUN and HP infection rate. Conclusion Proper measures should be employed to decrease the complications of NSAIDs-induced PUB.
ABSTRACT
Peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB) is the most common cause of non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and its frequency has been declining over the past decades. However, mortality from PUB persists, and it is still a serious challenge in clinical practice. Although endoscopic intervention is the basic treatment modality for PUB, pharmacological therapy is an important adjunct. The emergence of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) enables maintenance of intragastric pH >6, which greatly helps in the treatment of PUB. Continuous intravenous infusion of high-dose PPI reduces the re-bleeding rate, thereby helping avoid additional surgery in patients with high-risk stigmata. Moreover, administration of PPIs prior to endoscopy may reduce the need for additional endoscopic intervention. Recently introduced gastric acid suppressants, such as potassium-competitive acid blockers, have shown promising results in further treatment of PUB.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the corelationship between proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and the incidence of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) in abdominal surgical patients. Methods A total of 283 cases admitted from 2010 to 2014 were divided into PPI group (n = 326) and HRA group (n = 92). In PPI group, patients were divided into omeprazole subgroup (subgroup A, n = 146), lansoprazole subgroup (subgroup B, n = 102) and pantoprazole subgroup (subgroup C, n = 78) by the types of PPI. In HRA group, patients were divided into famotidine subgroup (subgroup D, n = 58) and ranitidine subgroup (subgroup E, n=34) by the types of histamine-2 receptor antagonist (H2RA). The incidence of stress ulcer bleeding (SUB) and HAP were calculated, while mechanical ventilation period (MV), ICU stay and 28-day-mortality were compared. Results There were lower incidences of SUB and HAP, shorter MV and ICU stay and lower 28-day-mortality in PPI group than those in HRA group (P < 0.05). In three subgroups of PPI group, there were no significant difference on incidence rate of SUB and HAP, as well as MV, ICU stay and 28-day-mortality. Conclusion The incidence rates of SUB and HAP are lower by using PPI than H2RA in abdominal surgical patients, as well as MV, ICU stay and 28-day-mortality. Different types of PPI have no effect on the incidence rate of HAP in abdominal surgical patients.
ABSTRACT
Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a common medical emergency around the world and the major cause is peptic ulcer bleeding. Endoscopic treatment is fundamental for the management of peptic ulcer bleeding. Despite recent advances in endoscopic treatment, mortality from peptic ulcer bleeding has still remained high. This is because the disease often occurs in elderly patients with frequent comorbidities and are taking ulcerogenic medications. Therefore, the management of peptic ulcer bleeding is still a challenge for clinicians. This article reviews the various endoscopic methods available for management of peptic ulcer bleeding and the techniques in using these methods.

During the life cycle of early gastric cancer, some malignant ulcers may undergo partial or complete mucosal repair. Endoscopic visualization alone cannot reliably discriminate benign from malignant gastric ulcers. A 45-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of hematemesis. Endoscopy revealed a 2x2 cm sized, deep ulcer with adherent clots at the posterior wall of the gastric body. Proton pump inhibitor was prescribed for 2 months. Diagnostic endoscopic mucosal resection was performed. Histology revealed an early gastric cancer involving the lamina propria which was resected completely.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the efficacy and adverse reactions of omeprazole and pantoprazole in the treatment of patients with peptic ulcer bleeding. Methods: Totally 362 cases of peptic ulcer bleeding were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group with 181 ones in each. The control group was treated by omeprazole 40mg in 0. 9% sodium chloride injection 100ml, ivd, bid, and the observation group was given pantoprazole 80mg in 0. 9% sodium chloride injection 100ml, ivd, bid. The treatment course was 3-6 days. The times of vomiting and melena, bleeding situation and bleeding stopping time in the two groups were observed and recorded, and the clinical efficacy, adverse drug reactions during the treatment and the expense of the two groups were also compared. Results:The bleeding amount on the first and third day in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P 0. 05). The average daily cost of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P 0. 05). Conclusion:The efficacy of omeprazole and pantoprazole in the treatment of peptic ulcer bleeding was similar with high security. However, pantoprazole may reduce the times of vomiting and melena, shorten the bleeding time and decrease the treatment cost.

Acute renal failure, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and gastric ulcer bleeding (GUB) are associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality, especially in older patients. The development of each of these conditions can be followed by the development of another; however, it is rare for these three conditions to develop concurrently. Here, we report the case of a 92-year-old man who was admitted because of generalized weakness that developed after the ingestion of nothing but functional foods, including herbal medications containing Glycyrrhiza and Aloe, for ten days. After admission, AMI and GUB developed approximately six hours apart. Conservative treatment was chosen for the bleeding ulcer because of the high procedural risk, and the use of antiplatelet agents and heparinization for treatment of the infarction were stopped. The patient remained hemodynamically stable following the administration of a statin, diuretics, and proton pump inhibitors. A healed scar at the site of the ulcer was confirmed three weeks later; however, postinfarct angina developed after the patient's last endoscopy. Percutaneous coronary intervention was successfully performed with two stents placed in the left anterior descending artery.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: In geriatric patients with peptic ulcer, the use of NSAID and prevalence of chronic illness have been increased, but the Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infected portion decreased. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of geriatric patients (aged 65 or older) with peptic ulcer bleeding and compare with non-geriatric patients (less than 65 years old). METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of 88 patients with peptic ulcer bleeding treated with therapeutic endoscopy from January 2006 to December 2006. We compared the clinical characteristics and outcomes of geriatric patients (n=34, 38.6%) with those of non-geriatric patients (n=54, 61.4%). RESULTS: Hypertension (52.9% vs. 24.1%), cardiovascular disease (35.3% vs. 13.0%), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (20.6% vs. 3.7%) were more prevalent in the geriatric group, compared with the non-geriatric group (p0.05). The amount of transfusion length of ICU stay, rebleeding rate, operation rate and mortality were not different between the two groups. The length of hospital stay in the geriatric patients was significantly longer than the non-geriatric group (12.3+/-10.6 vs. 7.2+/-5.9 days, p<0.05). In multiple regression analysis, old age was a significant risk factor for longer hospital stay (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The geriatric patients with bleeding peptic ulcer had longer hospital stay than the non-geriatric patients in our study. The important emerging etiologies such as ulcerogenic drug and associated chronic illness should be checked and treated in these patients.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Endoscopic heat probe coagulation (HP) and argon plasma coagulation (APC) are considered to be safe and effective for the treatment of peptic ulcer bleeding. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of APC and HP for treating bleeding peptic ulcer. METHODS: Between May 2004 and November 2006 we conducted a prospective randomized trial on 99 patients with peptic ulcer bleeding and for whom a visible vessel or active bleeding was identified. The patients were randomized into two groups: the APC group that was comprised of 56 patients who received argon plasma coagulation and HP group that was comprised of 43 patients who received heat probe coagulation. RESULTS: There were no significant differences between the study groups in terms of age, risk factors, the initial hemoglobin values, the number of patients who showed signs of hemodynamic impairment, the location of ulcer and the bleeding activity. The initial hemostatic rate was 89.3% in the APC group and 93% in the heat probe group (p=0.521). After successful initial endoscopic treatment, rebleeding was observed in 4 cases of the APC group (7.1%) and in 4 cases of heat probe coagulation group (9.3%). CONCLUSIONS: Argon plasma coagulation and heat probe coagulation are equally effective for controlling bleeding from peptic ulcer.
