Peptic ulcers are a prevalent and often chronic condition within the digestive system, frequently prone to recurrence. This study aims to evaluate the clinical effects of Anweiyang capsule combined with Pinellia Heart-Draining Decoction on Helicobacter pylori eradication, ulcer healing rates, and improvement of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes in patients with peptic ulcers. A total of 100 patients were randomly assigned to an observation group (n = 50), receiving the herbal combination, and a control group (n = 50), receiving standard Western medical treatment. The total effective rate was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in the observation group (96%) compared to the control group (80%). After 4 weeks of treatment, serum procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels decreased, while prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels increased in both groups; however, the observation group exhibited better results (P < 0.05). The observation group achieved a H. pylori eradication rate of 94% and an ulcer healing rate of 82%, compared to 64% and 56% in the control group, respectively. Improvement in TCM syndrome scores was more significant in the observation group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the incidence of adverse reactions was significantly (P < 0.05) lower in the observation group (4%) compared to the control group (18%). In conclusion, Anweiyang capsule combined with Pinellia Heart-Draining Decoction significantly enhances the eradication rate of H. pylori and the ulcer healing rate without substantially increasing the risk of adverse reactions, demonstrating its safety and reliability for patients.

We developed a 10-item VAP care bundle to address the high incidence of VAP in Vietnamese intensive care units (ICUs), comprising (i) hand hygiene, (ii) head elevation (gatch up 30-45°), (iii) oral care, (iv) oversedation avoidance, (v) breathing circuit management, (vi) cuff pressure control, (vii) subglottic suctioning of secretions, (viii) daily assessment for weaning and a spontaneous breath trial (SBT), (ix) early ambulation and rehabilitation, and (x) prophylaxis of peptic ulcers and deep-vein thrombosis (DVT). The VAP incidence (27.0 per 1000 mechanical ventilation days) slightly and not significantly decreased in the six months after the implementation of the care bundle.

Despite advancements in prevention and treatment, peptic ulcer disease (PUD) remains a public health burden, with potentially high mortality rates when not managed properly. Recent studies indicate bleeding as the most prevalent complication, followed by perforation or penetration into adjacent organs and pyloric obstruction. In rare cases, posterior wall or greater curvature ulcers of the stomach can penetrate, leading to splenic artery pseudoaneurysms.

Objective: Putative associations between certain bacteria and gastric cancer have been described previously; however, the mechanisms underlying such associations are not thoroughly understood. We aimed to confirm the presence of Fusobacterium nucleatum in the biopsy samples of patients with gastroduodenal diseases, including gastric cancer, with concomitant or without Helicobacter pylori infection.
Results: Three hundred patients with gastroduodenal disorders, including gastritis, duodenal ulcer, or gastric cancer, were included.

Peptic ulcer is a prevalent gastrointestinal illness. The aim is to investigate the possible implication of cyclooxygenase (COX)-1/2 and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) signaling pathways in apigenin therapeutic effect on acetic acid-induced chronic gastric ulcer maintained with indomethacin. Rats were divided into 5 groups (n = 10): control, ulcer, omeprazole+ulcer, apigenin+ulcer, and apigenin only groups.

Introduction: Observational studies have shown that gallstone disease (GSD), cholecystitis, cholangitis, polyp of gallbladder, viral hepatitis, pancreatitis and gastrointestinal (GI) traits such as H. pylori infection, inflammatory bowel disease, and digestive ulcer are associated with the risk of biliary tract cancer (BTC). However, no study has explored their causal associations.
