RESUMO
The present study was designed to observe the effect of quadruple therapy combined with probiotics on Helicobacter pylori-related peptic ulcer. The patients in the control group (n = 90) were given regular quadruple therapy including proton pump inhibitor ilaprazole enteric-coated tablet + two antibiotics amoxicillin dispersible tablet and metronidazole tablet + colloidal bismuth pectin capsule for 2 weeks. Patients in the study group (n = 90) were given abovementioned quadruple therapy combined with probiotics live combined Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Enterococcus Capsules, oral for 2 weeks. Then Hp clearance rate, recurrence rate, levels of gastrointestinal hormone makers, and advance reactions between two groups were compared. At the 2nd week after the treatment, the Helicobacter pylori clearance rate in the study group (87.79%) was significantly higher than the control group (78.89%), and the total recurrence rate in the study group (6.67%) was significantly lower than the control group (13.33%) (P < 0.05). Serum gastrin and motilin expression were lower, and somatostatin expressions was significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P > 0.05). In summary, quadruple therapy combined with probiotics in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori-related peptic ulcer can improve the Helicobacter pylori clearance rate, reduce the Helicobacter pylori recurrence rate, and is beneficial to improving the level of gastrointestinal hormones, with certain safety.
