METHODS: A total of 215 H. pylori -positive patients were enrolled in the study and randomly allocated into three groups: group A (n = 72) received a 10-d bismuth pectin quadruple therapy (20 mg rabeprazole bid , 1000 mg amoxicillin bid , 100 mg bismuth pectin qid , and 500 mg levofloxacin qd ); group B (n = 72) received the sequential therapy (20 mg omeprazole bid , 1000 mg amoxicillin bid , in 5 d, followed by 20 mg omeprazole bid , 500 mg tinidazole bid , 500 mg clarithromycin bid , for another 5 d); group C (n = 71) received a standard 1-wk triple therapy (20 mg omeprazole bid , 1000 mg amoxicillin bid , 500 mg clarithromycin bid ). After all these treatments, 20 mg omeprazole bid was administrated for 3 wk. H. pylori status was assessed by histology, 13C-urea breath test and rapid urease test at baseline and 4-6 wk after completion of treatment. Ulcer cicatrization was assessed by gastroscopy. χ 2 test (P < 0.05) was used to compare the eradication rates and ulcer cicatrisation rates among the three groups. RESULTS: The eradication rate was 83.33% (60/72) in group A, 88.89% (64/72) in group B, and 80.56% (58/71) in group C. The ulcer cicatrisation rate was 86.44% (51/59) in group A, 90.16% (55/61) in group B, and 84.91% (45/53) in group C. The sequential therapy yielded a higher eradication rate and ulcer cicatrisation rate than the standard triple and bismuth pectin quadruple therapies. Statistically, the eradication rate of group B was significantly different from groups A and C (P < 0.05), but the difference of ulcer cicatrisation rate and side effects was not statistically significant among the three groups (P > 0.05). The three protocols were generally well tolerated. CONCLUSION: The sequential therapy has achieved a significantly higher eradication rate, and is a more suitable first-line alternative protocol for anti-H. pylori infection compared with the standard triple and bismuth pectin quadruple therapies.展开更多

METHODS: Two hundred and fifty-seven H pylori-infected patients were randomly assigned to standard triple therapy (group A, n = 129) or triple therapy plus ecabet sodium (group B, n = 128). Successful eradication was defined as a negative 13C-urea breath test 6-8 wk after completion of treatment. RESULTS: After completion of therapy, 194/257 patients showed negative 13C-urea breath test results. According to intention-to-treat analysis, the infection was eradicated in 93/129 (72.1%) patients in group A and 101/128 (78.9%) in group B (P = 0.204). Per-protocol analysis showed successful eradication in 93/118 (78.8%) patients from group A and 101/114 (88.6%) from group B (P = 0.044). There were no significant differences in the side effects experienced by the patients in the two treatment groups. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that the addition of ecabet sodium improves the efficacy of the standard triple therapy for H pylori.展开更多

METHODS： A total of 396 patients with 13C-urea breath test positive for H pylori were assigned into two groups： 239 patients received one-day quadruple therapy （amoxicillin 2000 mg qid; metronidazole 500 mg qid; bismuth citrate 900 mg qid and lansoprazole 60 mg once daily） and 157 patients received 7-d standard triple therapy （amoxicillin 1000 mg bid; clarithromycin 500 mg bid and lansoprazole 30 mg bid）. All the patients underwent a 13C-UBT to assess the eradication of Hpylori infection six weeks after treatment. RESULTS： Two hundred and twenty-nine patients completed the one-day therapy （95.8%） and 148 patients completed the 7-d therapy （94.2%）. The oneday therapy eradicated H pylori infection in 64 patients （27.95%）. In contrast, 103 patients （69.59%） were Hpylori negative after the 7-d therapy （P 〈 0.01）. CONCLUSION： This pilot study suggests there is no beneficial effect of the one-day therapy in treatment ofHpylori infection compared with the 7-d standard therapy.展开更多

They found that 7-d concomitant regimen is undoubtedly superior to 7-d triple therapy(91.2% vs 77.9%, P < 0.0001). However, it is a common belief that a triple therapy lasting 7 d should be definitively removed from the clinical practice for its ineffectiveness. Only its prolongation to 14 d may give satisfactory success rate. Thus, the assessment of an old and outdated treatment versus a more recent and successful one does not seem to bring novel and useful information. Moreover, a 7-d duration has not been ascertained for concomitant regimen, as main guidelines recommend a 10-d schedule for this scheme. Therefore, only studies comparing 10-d concomitant versus 14-d triple seem to be appropriate according to current Guidelines and would clarify which regimen is the most suitable worldwide. Additionally, in this metaanalysis concomitant and sequential therapy showed similar performances, despite it is common opinion that sequential is more prone than concomitant therapy to fail when metronidazole resistance occurs, and China is characterized by high rate of resistance to this antibiotic. None of the included studies evaluated a priori antibiotic resistances, and the lack of this detail hampers the unveiling of this apparent contradiction. In conclusion, the lack of the evaluation of the quality of included trials as well as their high heterogeneity constitute a burdensome limit to draw solid conclusions in this meta-analysis. On the bases of these considerations and the low number of examined trials, we believe that further studies and the knowledge of antibiotic resistances will support with high quality evidence which is the best regimen and its optimal duration.展开更多

METHODS: Eighty-two patients with H. pylori-related gastritis treated in our hospital from January 2016 to December 2017 were selected according to the random number table method and divided into experimental group and control group, with 41 patients in each group. The control group was treated with standard triple therapy, while the experimental group was additionally treated with modified Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Decoction. The venous blood of one elbow was taken before and after treatment. The concentrations of serum CagA and Hp-NAP were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The symptoms were evaluated according to the change of symptom scores before and after the intervention. The H.pylori eradication rate was calculated. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in CagA and Hp-NAP concentrations between the 2 groups before intervention(P > 0.05). After intervention, CagA and Hp-NAP concentrations in experimental group were(19.21±6.27) ng/L and(24.37±6.10) ng/L respectively which were lower than(25.81±7.14) ng/L and(32.09±5.73) ng/L of control group. The differences were statistically significant(P < 0.05). The total effective rate of major symptoms in experimental group was 39 cases(95.12%), which was significantly higher than that of the control group(31 cases, 75.61%). There was statistically significant difference between the 2 groups(P < 0.05). The eradication rate of H.pylori was 38 cases(92.68%) in the experimental group, which was significantly higher than 31 cases(75.61%) of the control group. The difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant(P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Decoction combined with standard triple therapy can effectively reduce CagA, Hp-NAP of serum level in patients with H.pylori-related gastritis, improve efficacy of symptoms and eradication rate of H.pylori, and is worthy of clinical promotion.展开更多
