Article Abstract

Background: This study aimed to explore the role of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) eradication in patients with hepatogenic ulcer (HU).

Methods: Patients with HU, patients with liver cirrhosis without peptic ulcer and patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) were selected and the relationship between complications of liver cirrhosis and Hp infection in HU patients was evaluated retrospectively. Furthermore, 60 HU patients with Hp infection were randomly divided into the treatment group with rabeprazole plus amoxicillin and levofloxacin, and the control group with rabeprazole alone and the therapeutic effects then were recorded. This trial was registered at the China Clinical Research Registration Center (Trial registration number: ChiCTR2200061355, 2022/06/21).

Results: The Hp positive rate in the HU group was significantly higher compared with the liver cirrhosis without ulcer group or the FD group. Moreover, the positive rate of Hp in HU patients with mild esophageal varices was higher than that in HU patients with moderate and severe esophageal varices. Additionally, the rate of Hp eradication and ulcer healing in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group. Importantly, the remission time of ulcer-related symptoms in the treatment group was shorter compared with the control group.

Conclusion: Hp is a contributor to HU and an integrated strategy consisting of rabeprazole, amoxicillin and levofloxacin is effective in the treatment of HU, providing a potential application for HU patients.

Objective: To determine the plasma concentration of pantoprazole sodium by high performance liquid chromatography and its distribution in patients with different CYP2C19 genotypes in an attempt to provide experimental data for the clinical dosage adjustment of the drug.

Methods: Patients with liver disease and associated peptic ulcer were genotyped according to their CYP2C19 wild-type sequences and mutations in CYP2C19m1 and CYP2C19m2 by the principles of the American Surgical Association using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The plasma concentration of pantoprazole sodium was detected after oral administration of the enteric-coated capsules in all patients.

In about 50% of patients with liver cirrhosis, upper digestive bleeding is not due to oesaphageal varices rupture, but to a group of peculiar mucosal lesions usually referred as "congestive gastropathy" and "hepatogenic ulcer". The pathogenesis of such mucosal damage is still unclear: an important causative role is commonly thought to be played by portal hypertension, but the role of peptical pathway and of the mucosal barrier impairment must not be underscored as well. Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of roxatidine in the long-term treatment of mucosal damage in 19 patients with liver cirrhosis.

Functional and morphological state of the stomach and duodenum was studied in 98 patients with liver cirrhosis. Hepatogenous ulcer was revealed in 21.7 per cent of the patients with alcoholic and in 25 per cent of those with viral liver cirrhosis.
