BACKGROUND Gastric ulcer is a serious digestive system problem and affects 5% to 10% of people during their life. Chemical antigastric ulcer drugs have side effect, cannot prevent recurrence of ulcer and also show drug interaction with many other medicaments. Tragopogon graminifolius DC.(TG) is a herb which is widely used in the west of Iran and traditionally consumed for the treatment of gastr...

Histologic changes in the healing process of gastric ulcers were studied in relation to their age, i.e., the time period between the onset of an ulcer and gastrectomy. Observation was made in 27 stomachs with 31 oval ulcers or scars. Newly formed glands occurring in the regenerative mucosa with a tufty configuration, tended to occur at an ulcer age of one month or more. The regenerative mucosa ...

on his penis with subsequent secondary symptoms, which subsided after taking some native drugs. History of present illness.?About 2i years ago the patient noticed an ulcer on the lateral aspect of his penis. He applied some paste given by a barber surgeon, but the ulcer extended on all sides in a circular way round the penis. Within six months the ulcer "had spread, involving the root of the pe...

The relation between intragastric acidity and duodenal ulcer activity was studied prospectively in 21 patients with endoscopically proved duodenal ulcers. The 24 hour intragastric acidity was measured on four separate occasions by continuous recording using combined glass electrodes: (a) in the presence of an ulcer crater without treatment; (b) during active ulceration being treated with raniti...

background :   vaculating cytotoxic a ( vaca ) gene is one of the multiple helicobacter pylori genotypes that produce a cytotoxin protein (vaca).this gene is a major cause of chronic peptic ulcers and gastric cancer. the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between vaca gene with peptic ulcer disease (pud) and non-ulcer dyspepsia (nud). methods :    this was a case control study o...

abstract       background and objective: baba2 and hpa genes are involved in adherence of helicobacter pylori (h.pylori) to gastric mucosal tissue. this study aimed to investigate the frequency of these genes in isolates of h. pylori from gastric biopsies and their relationship with gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer.       methods: gastric biopsy samples were obtained from patients wit...

OBJECTIVE This study was designed to investigate the relationship between plasma cortisol levels and stress ulcer following acute severe head injury. PATIENTS AND METHODS The plasma cortisol levels were prospectively measured by radioimmunoassay in 68 patients following acute head injury. The diagnosis of stress ulcer was based on clinical evidence and was confirmed by endoscopic examination....

Antiulcer effects of pantoprazole, a proton-pump inhibitor, on water-immersion restraint stress (WIRS)-, alcohol (ethanol)- and pylorus ligation-induced gastric ulcers were investigated in male rats. Rats were orally administered with pantoprazole 30 min prior to exposure to various types of ulcer inducers. In stress-induced ulcer model, rats were subjected to WIRS at 22℃ for 4 hours, and the d...

Distinct virulence factors of Helicobacter pylori have been associated with clinical outcome of the infection; however, considerable variations have been reported from different geographic regions. Data on genotypes of African H. pylori isolates are sparse. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of specific genotypes of H. pylori in Nigerian patients with duodenal ulcer and non-u...
