AIM To compare the effects of Aloe vera and sucralfate on gastric microcirculatory changes, cytokine levels and gastric ulcer healing. METHODS Male Spraque-Dawley rats (n=48) were divided into four groups. Group1 served as control group, group 2 as gastric ulcer group without treatment, groups 3 and 4 as gastric ulcer treatment groups with sucralfate and Aloe vera. The rats from each group we...

BACKGROUND Peptic ulcer is a sore in the protective lining (mucosal lining) of the gastrointestinal tract and develops when the lining is damaged. The objectives of this Descriptive Validational study were to determine the validity of Barium Meal examination in the diagnosis of peptic ulcer disease in comparison to the gold standard, i.e., endoscopic evaluation in peptic ulcer disease. The stud...

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is an independent risk factor for impaired healing of peptic ulcers, and there are currently no supplementary therapeutics other than the standard antipeptic medicine to improve the ulcer healing in diabetes. This study examined the potential pleiotropic effect of a glucagon-like peptide (Glp)-1 analogue exendin (Ex)-4 on the regeneration of gastric ulcer in strepto...

this is a short survey on association of pulmonary emphysema and peptic ulcer in 680 hospitalized and 1218 private patients. the incidence of peptic ulcer in emphysemateous patient has been approximately evaluated as 38,80 /0 in hospital and 99% in private patients especially studied for this purpose. the probable cause or causes that may enhance the production of peptic ulcer in emphysemateous...

objective: gut–brain axis (gba) is very important in creation and modulation of gastrointestinal problems. aloe vera gel has gastroprotective properties. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of aqueous extract of aloe vera leaves on the gastric acid secretion and brain and intestinal water content following acetic acid gastric ulcer induction. materials and methods: gastric ulce...

Compression bandaging achieved a higher proportion of complete ulcer healing, reduced ulcer size, and improved psychosocial outcomes in venous ulcer patients. The four-layer bandaging and short-stretch bandaging systems achieved a similar effect on both ulcer healing and other psychosocial outcome measures. Effect of compression bandaging on wound healing and psychosocial outcomes in older peop...

To investigate the gastroprotective activity of ethanolic leaf extract of Ficus religiosa (F. religiosa) in different experimental models of gastric ulcer in rats.The ethanolic leaf extract of F. religiosa were studied at two dose levels (250 and 500 mg/kg, oral) in rats against absolute cold stress induced ulcer and pyloric ligation induced gastric ulcer. Ranitidine (50 mg/kg, oral) was used a...

question of the aetiology of gastric ulcer is fully discussed. The authors consider that acute primary ulcer often commences as a hemorrhage, and that chronic ulcer, although it may be a sequel of an acute ulcer, is probably frequently due to impaired nutrition of the mucous membrane of the stomach consequent upon arterial degeneration. It has always seemed to us that a hemorrhage is the most l...
