Clinical observation of magnesium aluminum carbonate combined with rabeprazole-based triple therapy in the treatment of helicobacter pylori-positive gastric ulcer associated with hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: To evaluate the clinical effect of magnesium aluminum carbonate combined with rabeprazole-based triple therapy in the treatment of patients with Helicobacter pylori-positive gastric ulcer associated with hemorrhage. Methods: A total of 80 patients with Helicobacter pylori-positive gastric ulcer associated with hemorrhage admitted to the Baoding First Central Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were selected and randomly divided into two groups, with 40 cases in each group. The control group were given rabeprazole-based triple therapy, while the experimental group were treated with magnesium aluminum carbonate on the basis of the control group. The changes of symptoms and signs such as abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting and hematochezia were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Serological changes of the gastric mucosal microenvironment, such as the serum levels of extracellular regulatory protein kinase (ERK), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), were compared between the two groups. Moreover, the differences in the results of gastroscopy between the two groups before and after treatment were compared and analyzed. Results: The scores of gastrointestinal symptoms in the experimental group after treatment were significantly improved compared with the control group (p=0.00). The levels of ERK and EGFR in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (ERK, p=0.01; EGRF, p=0.00), while the level of SOD was significantly increased (p=0.02). After treatment, the total effective rate of ulcer healing in the experimental group was 82.5%, which was significantly better than 60% in the control group (p=0.03). After treatment, moderate to severe gastric mucosal inflammation in the experimental group decreased to 10%, significantly better than that in the control group (decreased to 30%) (p=0.03). Conclusion: Magnesium aluminum carbonate combined with rabeprazole-based triple therapy is preferred for the treatment of patients with Helicobacter pylori-positive gastric ulcer associated with hemorrhage. With such a highly effective treatment regimen, the internal environment and blood supply of gastric mucosal cells can be significantly improved, gastric mucosal inflammation and gastrointestinal symptoms can be ameliorated, and the healing of ulcer surfaces can be accelerated.
