However, there are still some controversies about its effect on various kinds of wounds, especially in the experimental models. This study is aimed at evaluating the effect of mucoadhesive paste compared to phenytoin mucoadhesive paste on wound healing after oral biopsy. Material and Methods: In this double blind randomized clinical trial, 20 patients who were eligible for oral biopsy were allocated into the case and control groups. After the biopsy, patients having ulcers ranging between one and two centimeters were treated by simple or 1% phenytoin mucoadhesive paste. All patients were instructed to apply their paste at least three times a day for five days after the biopsy. Patients in both groups were evaluated every other day for size of the ulcer, degree of pain and diameter of the inflammatory halo. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software and Mann-Whitney test. Results: After the second and third appointments, it was observed that the rate of wound healing and decrease in the size of the ulcers were significantly quicker in the treatment group (p = 0.001 and p = 0.003 respectively) and the patients in the phenytoin group reported less pain. Diameter of the inflammatory halo was not significantly different between two groups. Conclusion: Applying 1% phenytoin mucoadhesive paste on biopsy ulcers resulted in accelerated wound healing and decrease in pain, but had no effect on the diameter of the inflammatory halo.展开更多

METHODS: This randomized study included 211 pa- tients [112 receiving iv omeprazole protocol (Group 1), 99 receiving po omeprazole 40 mg every 12 h (Group 2)] with a mean age of 52.7. In 144 patients the ulcers showed a clean base, and in 46 the ulcers showed flat spots and in 21 old adherent clots. The endpoints were re-bleeding, surgery, hospital stay, blood transfusion and death. After discharge, re-bleeding and death were re- evaluated within 30 d. RESULTS: The study groups were similar with respect to baseline characteristics. Re-bleeding was recorded in 5 patients of Group 1 and in 4 patients of Group 2 (P = 0.879). Three patients in Group 1 and 2 in Group 2 underwent surgery (P = 0.773). The mean length of hospital stay was 4.6 ± 1.6 d in Group 1 vs 4.5 ± 2.6 d in Group 2 (P = 0.710); the mean amounts of blood transfusion were 1.9 ± 1.1 units in Group 1 vs 2.1 ± 1.7 units in Group 2 (P = 0.350). Four patients, two in each group died (P = 0.981). After discharge, a new bleed- ing occurred in 2 patients of Group 1 and in 1 patient of Group 2, and one patient from Group 1 died. CONCLUSION: We demonstrate that the effect of oral omeprazole is as effective as intravenous therapy in terms of re-bleeding, surgery, transfusion requirements, hospitalization and mortality in patients with bleeding ulcers with low risk stigmata. These patients can be treated effectively with oral omeprazole.展开更多

Current UC therapy relies on controlling acute episodes and preventing relapse. To predict modifications in the natural course of UC, mucosal healing(MH) has emerged as a major treatment goal. Endoscopic evaluation is considered the gold standard for assessing MH, which can be achieved by conventional drugs and biologics in many, but not all, patients. Consequently, interest is focusing on the development of new substances for UC therapy, and new oral agents are in the pipeline. This review will focus on the ability of newly developed oral drugs to induce and maintain MH in UC patients.展开更多

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of gel formulation including diclofenac and propolis in the treatment of oral ulcers. Methods: Participants included 100 normal individuals with aphthous, excluding those having allergies to any ingredient in the diclofenac formulation. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups: one group received treatment with a combination of diclofenac potassium 3% (10 mg/g, 60 g) and propolis 5% gel (Group II), and the other group received a placebo (Group 1). The patient was evaluated using standard digital photographs and chronic oral mucosal questionnaires on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 after healing. Utilizing the Mann-Whitney U test, the two groups were compared. Each group’s changes were examined using Friedman’s test. Results: There was a statistically dramatic change over time in Group II. After one day, the median total score dropped statistically significantly, and from one to three days with effect size (d) 2.485, Group II demonstrated 48% complete healing and 52% partial healing, while Group I demonstrated 4% partial healing and 96% no change. Effect size (V): 0.995. Conclusions: The combination of diclofenac and propolis provided instant relief and an affordable new regimen for treating oral aphthosis.展开更多

文摘Background and Objective: Several studies have shown the wound healing effect of topical phenytoin, which is applied by its effect on connective tissue intracellular matrix. However, there are still some controversies about its effect on various kinds of wounds, especially in the experimental models. This study is aimed at evaluating the effect of mucoadhesive paste compared to phenytoin mucoadhesive paste on wound healing after oral biopsy. Material and Methods: In this double blind randomized clinical trial, 20 patients who were eligible for oral biopsy were allocated into the case and control groups. After the biopsy, patients having ulcers ranging between one and two centimeters were treated by simple or 1% phenytoin mucoadhesive paste. All patients were instructed to apply their paste at least three times a day for five days after the biopsy. Patients in both groups were evaluated every other day for size of the ulcer, degree of pain and diameter of the inflammatory halo. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software and Mann-Whitney test. Results: After the second and third appointments, it was observed that the rate of wound healing and decrease in the size of the ulcers were significantly quicker in the treatment group (p = 0.001 and p = 0.003 respectively) and the patients in the phenytoin group reported less pain. Diameter of the inflammatory halo was not significantly different between two groups. Conclusion: Applying 1% phenytoin mucoadhesive paste on biopsy ulcers resulted in accelerated wound healing and decrease in pain, but had no effect on the diameter of the inflammatory halo.
文摘AIM: To compare the effect of intravenous and oral omeprazole in patients with bleeding peptic ulcers with- out high-risk stigmata. METHODS: This randomized study included 211 pa- tients [112 receiving iv omeprazole protocol (Group 1), 99 receiving po omeprazole 40 mg every 12 h (Group 2)] with a mean age of 52.7. In 144 patients the ulcers showed a clean base, and in 46 the ulcers showed flat spots and in 21 old adherent clots. The endpoints were re-bleeding, surgery, hospital stay, blood transfusion and death. After discharge, re-bleeding and death were re- evaluated within 30 d. RESULTS: The study groups were similar with respect to baseline characteristics. Re-bleeding was recorded in 5 patients of Group 1 and in 4 patients of Group 2 (P = 0.879). Three patients in Group 1 and 2 in Group 2 underwent surgery (P = 0.773). The mean length of hospital stay was 4.6 ± 1.6 d in Group 1 vs 4.5 ± 2.6 d in Group 2 (P = 0.710); the mean amounts of blood transfusion were 1.9 ± 1.1 units in Group 1 vs 2.1 ± 1.7 units in Group 2 (P = 0.350). Four patients, two in each group died (P = 0.981). After discharge, a new bleed- ing occurred in 2 patients of Group 1 and in 1 patient of Group 2, and one patient from Group 1 died. CONCLUSION: We demonstrate that the effect of oral omeprazole is as effective as intravenous therapy in terms of re-bleeding, surgery, transfusion requirements, hospitalization and mortality in patients with bleeding ulcers with low risk stigmata. These patients can be treated effectively with oral omeprazole.

文摘OBJECTIVE To explore the therapeutic effect and its mechanism of persimmon leaf flavonoids(PLF) on rats with oral ulcer. METHODS The oral ulcer model was induced by acetic acid,was used for intervention of Guilin watermelon frost and different dose(20,40 and 80 mg·kg^(-1)) of PLF.Ulcer area was calculated on the fourth and the seventh day after injury; the changes of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and malondialdehyde(MDA) in serum and ulcer tissues were observed; the level of tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-alpha) in ulcer tissue was measured. To observe the pathological morphological changes of H-E staining. RESULTS Guilin watermelon frost and PLF(40 and 80 mg·kg^(-1))can reduce the ulcer area(P<0.05); PLF(20,40 and 80 mg·kg^(-1)) can increase the activity of SOD and decrease the content of MDA in serum and ulcer tissue(P<0.05); Guilin watermelon frost and PLF could significantly decrease the levels of TNF-alpha in ulcer tissue(P<0.05),and improve the inflammatory infiltration of ulcer tissue. CONCLUSION PLF has certain therapeutic effects on oral ulcer induced by acetic acid,and the mechanism may be related to improve oxidative damage and reduce inflammatory reaction.
文摘Oral ulcer is a kind of ulcerative injury that occurs in the oral mucosa and is very common in clinic.In severe case,it can affect the quality of life of the patients.Western medicine treatment of oral ulcer is often prone to relapse,while the effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment is remarkable.

文摘Acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) is a highly fatal malignant bone marrow disease. Physicians, dentists and all other healthcare professionals should be aware of sinister oral signs and symptoms in order to early diagnosis and referral of patients. Here we report a case of AML who presented with oral ulcers. Ulcers developed after a parrot bite, which initially misled the physicians. Unfortunately our patient did not survive, but early diagnosis and prompt investigation and treatment can be life-saving in many other similar cases.

文摘Background: Oral aphthosis has a negative impact on oral health. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of gel formulation including diclofenac and propolis in the treatment of oral ulcers. Methods: Participants included 100 normal individuals with aphthous, excluding those having allergies to any ingredient in the diclofenac formulation. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups: one group received treatment with a combination of diclofenac potassium 3% (10 mg/g, 60 g) and propolis 5% gel (Group II), and the other group received a placebo (Group 1). The patient was evaluated using standard digital photographs and chronic oral mucosal questionnaires on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 after healing. Utilizing the Mann-Whitney U test, the two groups were compared. Each group’s changes were examined using Friedman’s test. Results: There was a statistically dramatic change over time in Group II. After one day, the median total score dropped statistically significantly, and from one to three days with effect size (d) 2.485, Group II demonstrated 48% complete healing and 52% partial healing, while Group I demonstrated 4% partial healing and 96% no change. Effect size (V): 0.995. Conclusions: The combination of diclofenac and propolis provided instant relief and an affordable new regimen for treating oral aphthosis.

文摘Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)believes that the main pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis is spleen deficiency;damp heat in the large intestine as the symptom,the treatment must be warming,clearing,eliminating,tonifying,astringing concurrently.From the concept of combining holism and the local treatment in TCM,idea of combining internal and external treatment is adopted.That is,the external treatment follows the therapeutic principle of using herbs with a bitter and cold nature to eliminate stagnation,and the seven carbon decoction,which can clear heat and dampness,cool the blood,and stop dysentery,is used as a rectal drip to retain the enema.Internal treatment follows the therapeutic principle of warmly tonifying and cultivating vital qi,with oral Chinese herbal medicine named Maodie Tang to strengthen the spleen and tonify the kidney,clearing heat and inducing dampness.
