Abstract
AIM
To study the histologic changes after H.pylori eradication with Killing Hp decoction for chronic gastritis.
METHODS
Total 81 cases of chronic gastritis with H.pylori infection were prospectively studied. After a 7-day triple therapy (bismuth potassium citrate, clarithromycin and tinidazole), the patients were divided randomly into 3 groups. Group A (n = 23): Killing Hp decoction, 1 Bid; GroupB (n = 15): marzulene-s-granules, 1 Tid; Group C (n = 15): aluminium hydroxide compound, 3-5 Bid; An endoscopy was performed at the frist and third months. Histological changes of gastric mucosa were compared before and after the treatment according to Sydney classification. COX-2(cyclooxygenase-2) protein was detected by immunohistochemical method, and the computer image processing system was used. For the patients of no eradication after one course therapy, anti-H.pylori treatment continued.
RESULTS
H.pylori eradication got a very good curative effect in 81.9% of the patients. A favourable histologic change of acute inflammatory infiltration was found (average values from 0.79±0.78 to 0.042±0.14) (P<0.001).The mean percentage of COX-2 positive cells significantly decreased after H.pylori eradication [(43.5±12.3)%, (32.3±8.3)%, P<0.001]. No chronic inflammation was observed after one month therapy (1.90±0.68, 1.67±0.76, P>0.05. Compared to the controls, after Killing Hp decoction treatment for three months, the score corresponding to chronic gastritis declined progressively (average values from 2.9±0.6 to 1.30±0.60, P<0.001), and the mean percentage of COX-2 positive cells staining got further decreased and reached a statistically significant difference, compared with the results obtained at the first month. [(31.6±5.9)%, (27.09±5.16)%, P<0.05]. Gastric atrophic lesions were improved after "killing Hp decoction" for three-month treatment.
CONCLUSION
H. pylori related gastritis should be treated further with Killing Hp decoction after H.pylori eradication.
