Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of modified sequential therapy versus different quadruple therapy for the helicobacter pylori (H .pylori) eradication .Methods A total of 240 H .pylori infected patients with non atrophic gastritis accompanies erosion and peptic ulcer diagnosed by gastroscopy ,were evenly divided into sequential therapy group (A group) ,con-comitant therapy group(B group) ,7 days bismuth-containing quadruple therapy group(C group) and 10 days bismuth-containing quadruple therapy group(D group) .A group :rabeprazole 10 mg ,amoxicillin 1 000 mg were taken twice daily for 5 days firstly ,then rabeprazole 10 mg ,clarithromycin 500 mg ,furazolidone 100 mg were taken twice daily for 5 days .B group :rabeprazole 10 mg , amoxicillin 1 000 mg ,clarithromycin 500 mg ,furazolidone 100 mg were taken twice daily for 7 days .C group and D group :rabe-prazole 10 mg ,bismuth 220 mg ,amoxicillin 1 000 mg ,clarithromycin 500mg were taken twice daily for 7 and 10 days respectively . H .pylori status was re-assessed with 14C-urea breath test after 4-weeks therapy .Results Among them ,224 cases completed the study .According to the analysis of intention-to-treat (ITT ) ,the H .pylori eradication rates of A ,B ,C ,D group were 88 .33% , 83 .33% ,73 .33% ,81 .67% respectively ,and according to per-protocol (PP )analysis which were 92 .98% ,90 .90% ,78 .57% , 87 .50% .The difference between A and C group was statistically significant (χ2 = 4 .36 ,4 .83 ,P= 0 .037 ,0 .028) .Conclusion Fura-zolidone-containing sequential therapy provide provide high H .pylori eradication rates ,which could be the first-line treatment option .
