Objective To investigate the effect of rebamipide on chronic non-atrophic gastritis (NAG) with erosion and its protection of gastric mucosa from Helicobacter priori(Hp) associated lesions.Methods Patients(n=452)with endoscopically confirmed NAG with erosion from 11 hospitals in China were enrolled and randomly assigned at a ratio of 3:1 to receive either rebamipide(100 mg t.i.d.)or sucralfate(1.0 t.i.d.)for 8 weeks.Hp infected patients received eradication treatment before randomization.Symptoms,endoscopic scores and histological changes were recorded before and after therapy.Concentrations of serum prostaglandin E(PGE:)and oxygen free radical(MDA)were measured in patients from 2 centers.Results Per-protocol analysis(n=415)showed that the dyspeptic symptom score in rebamipide group decreased significantly after eight weeks of treatment. The endoscopic inflammation score in rebamipide group also decreased from 2.65 ±0.09 to 0.60±0.10(P<0.001),which was,significantly better than that of sucralfate group(P<0.001).Histological findings were consistent with the endoscopic findings.There Was a significant elevation(P=0.002)in PGE2 concentration in mucesa from rebamipide-treated subjects [(225.4±18.3) pg/g vs.(266.7±14.7)Pg/g] compared with that in sucralfate group.The concentration of MDA significantly decreased from(325.9±65.6)mmoL/g to(216.5±61.5)mmol/g,which is markedly different from that of sucralfate group(P=0.046).No statistical difference was found between Hp eradication group,Hp infection group and Hp negative group,regarding the effect of Rebamipide.Conclusion Compared to sucralfate,Rebamipide demonstrates a superior effect on improvement of dyspepsia symptom and endoscopic findings in erosive NAG,which is not influenced by Hp infection.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of robot-assisted percutaneous screw implantation and free-hand open screw implantation by Wiltse approach in the treatment of thoracolumbar fracture.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed to analyze the clinical data of 71 patients with thoracolumbar fracture admitted to Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from May 2018 to May 2020. There were 52 males and 19 females, with age range of 22-54 years[(41.0±7.8)years]. Of all, 33 patients were treated with robot-assisted percutaneous screw implantation (Group A) and 38 patients were treated with free-hand open screw implantation by Wiltse approach (Group B). Following parameters were measured, including frequency of radiation exposure, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stay, incidence of complications, rate of fracture healing at 3 months and 6 months postoperatively, visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI) at 3 days, 3 months, 6 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up, anterior vertebral body height ratio and sagittal Cobb angle preoperatively, at 3 days postoperatively and at the last follow-up, and rate of screw implantation of grade A and B and rate of facet joint violation at 3 days postoperatively.Results:All patients were followed up for 10-24 months[(15.2±4.4)months]. Frequency of radiation exposure and operation time showed no statistical differences between the two groups (both P>0.05). Intraoperative blood loss was 100(100, 135)ml in Group A, less than 160(120, 200)ml in Group B ( P<0.01). Length of hospital stay was 8(7, 11) days in Group A, shorter than 12(10, 16)days in Group B ( P<0.01). There were no complications such as infection, spinal nerve injury or cerebrospinal fluid leakage in both group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the rate of fracture healing at 3 and 6 months postoperatively (all P>0.05). VAS and ODI in Group A was 3(2, 4)points and 21(18, 23)points at 3 days postoperatively, lower than 4 (3, 5)points and 27(20, 32)points in Group B ( P<0.05 or 0.01), and the two groups showed no significant differences in VAS and ODI at other time points (all P>0.05). There were no significant difference in the anterior vertebral body height ratio or sagittal Cobb angle between the two groups at 3 days postoperatively and at the last follow-up (all P>0.05). Rate of screw implantation of grade A and B was 96.5% (191/198) in Group A, higher than 90.4% (206/228) in Group B ( P<0.05). Rate of facet joint violation was 4.0%(8/198) in Group A, lower than 11.8% (27/228) in Group B ( P<0.01). Conclusion:For thoracolumbar fracture, robot-assisted percutaneous screw implantation is superior to free-hand open screw implantation by Wiltse approach in terms of less bleeding, shorter hospitalization, earlier pain alleviation, higher accuracy of screw implantation and lower risk of facet joint violation.
