The relapse rate following successful short-term therapy with sucralfate or cimetidine was studied in a group of 86 patients with recently healed duodenal or gastric ulcer. The patients were endoscoped on clinical relapse or, routinely, at 6 weeks, 6 months and one year. Patients whose ulcers had healed on cimetidine relapsed earlier than did those whose ulcers had healed on sucralfate (p less than 0.05 at 12 weeks), but the cumulative relapse rate by the end of one year was of the order of 70% in both treatment groups. The mean duration of remission in patients who developed a recurrence was significantly greater in patients treated initially with sucralfate than in those treated initially with cimetidine - 7.3 and 4.6 months, respectively (p less than 0.01).

Institute for Evidence in Medicine, Medical Center - Faculty of Medicine, University of Freiburg, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
Objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of pharmacological interventions for preventing upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in people admitted to intensive care units (ICUs).
Design And Setting: Systematic review and frequentist network meta-analysis using standard methodological procedures as recommended by Cochrane for screening of records, data extraction and analysis. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was used to assess the certainty of evidence.

Introduction: In Ethiopia, traditionally, the leaves of have been utilized to treat peptic ulcer disease. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to examine the antiulcer activity of hydromethanolic leaf extract and solvent fractions in rats.
Methods: The ulcer-healing potential of the crude test extract was assessed in rats by adopting pyloric ligation-, acidified ethanol-, and acetic acid-induced ulcer methods; while, in solvent fractions, the acidified ethanol-induced ulcer model was used.

Gastric mucosa is frequently exposed to various gastric irritants, and there is a continuing requirement to develop new gastro-protective agents. This study compares the effects of three such agents, sucralfate, rebamipide, and cimetidine in both in vivo and in vitro indomethacin-induced gastric damage models. For the in vivo approach, rats were orally administered sucralfate, rebamipide, and cimetidine at 300 mg/kg before an acute dose of indomethacin (30 mg/kg).
