Long-term follow-up for laparoscopic anterior 180° partial fundoplication for gastroesophageal refulx disease / 中华消化内镜杂志

Objective To evaluate long-term follow-up for laparoscopic anterior 180° partial fundoplication for gastroesophageal refulx disease (GERD).Methods A total of 48 patients had undergone a laparoscopic anterior 180° partial fundoplication from July 2004 to October 2007.Patients were followed up at 3 months,12 months,3 years,5 years by using a structured questionnaire via phone or e-mail which evaluated symptoms of reflux,dysphagia,side-effects,and overall satisfaction with the clinical outcome.Results Follow-up data were collected from 43 patients,ranging from 60 to 98 months.Postoperative heartburn significantly improved in 37 patients.Normal belching was preserved in 40 patients,and 38 patients were able to eat normally.Thirty nine (90.7％) patients reported a good or excellent result (minimal or no symptoms) at the late follow-up.Two patients underwent laparoscopic anterior 180° partial fundoplication again due to acid reflux at the 12th and 38th month respectively.Conclusion At minimum 5 years followup,laparoscopic anterior 180° partial fundoplication for GERD is effective and lasting,and most patients are satisfied with the outcome.

Deanxit in adjuvant treatment of non-erosive reflux disease non-responding to proton pump inhibitor / 中国基层医药

Objective To investigate the efficacy of flupentixol and melitracen(Deanxit) in treatment of non-erosive reflux disease(NERD) and non-responding to proton pump inhibitor. Methods Fifty eight NERD pa-tients were randomly divided into two groups, the treatment group (n = 29) and control group (n = 29). Patients in control group were given esomeprazole 40 mg qd. Patients in the treatment group were given the same drug plus Deanxit 1 Tab qd. The clinical effect was evaluated and scored by Hemihon Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) after 4 weeks. Results The total efficacy rate of the treatment group was higher than control group (P < 0.01),and HAMA was lower in the treatment group than in control group (P < 0.01). Conclusions Adjuvant treatment of Deanxit combined with esomeprazole is effective to NERD patients who did not respond to proton pump inhibitor, can greatly improve anxious disorders.
