Background/aims: Ecabet sodium (ES) is a widely employed mucoprotective agent, for the treatment of gastric ulcers. The present paper prospectively evaluate the additive benefits of using ES in combination with the rabeprazole proton pump inhibitor (PPI) for the treatment of gastric ulcers after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
Methodology: A total of 56 patients who had undergone ESD for early gastric cancers were randomly assigned to receive either PPI with ES (P/ES group, n=28) or PPI alone (PPI group, n=28) for 8 weeks. At 4 and 8 weeks after ESD, the healing rate and the diminution rate of the ulcers were compared between two groups by endoscopy.
Results: One patient in the PPI group developed a hemorrhage as a result of an ESD-induced ulcer. At 4 weeks, the healing rates were significantly higher in the P/ES group (40.7%) compared with the PPI group (11.5%), (p = 0.0013). This tendency was observed also at 8 weeks (p = 0.0446). In addition, at 4 weeks, the diminution rates of the ESD-induced ulcers were significantly higher in the P/ES group (95.8%) than in the PPI group (84.9%), (p=0.0033).
Conclusions: ES in combination with PPI facilitates increased healing of ESD-induced ulcers, and can also improve the quality of ulcer healing.

Aim And Objective: Magnoliae Flos (Chinese name: Xin-Yi) and Xanthii Fructus (Chinese name: Cang-Er-Zi) are Chinese herbal medicines and have been used to treat allergic rhinitis (AR). However, the therapeutic effect, active ingredients, and probable processes of a compound of Magnoliae Flos and Xanthii Fructus in the form of essential oils (CMFXFEO) in treating AR have not been reported. This study aims to determine the efficacy of the CMFXFEO on ovalbumin (OVA)-induced AR in a rat model and to use network pharmacology and molecular docking to reveal the hub genes, biological functions, and signaling pathways of CMFXFEO against AR.

Background: Mechanical stretch is utilized in the process of tissue expansion to promote skin regeneration, which is crucial for wound healing and organ reconstruction purposes. Enlarged dermal area is one of the significant histological characteristics of the expanded skin. However, the underlying biological processes and molecular pathways associated with dermal regeneration triggered by mechanical stretch are still not well understood.
