Patients with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) positive peptic ulcer were randomly treated with Hp-killing or Hp-nonkilling anti-ulcer drugs, and 19 patients with healed peptic ulcer were followed up to determine the relapse rate of peptic ulcer. It was found that there was a close relationship between Hp infection and the existence of active chronic gastritis, and the clearance of Hp infection could not alleviate the activity of chronic gastritis or influence the 3-week healing rate of peptic ulcer. The relapse rate of the Hp-positive ulcer patients was higher than those Hp-negative cases.

Objective To explore the effect of nerve mobilization on sciatica in patients with lumbar disc herniation. Methods 46 patients with lumbar disc herniation were divided into treatment group (n=23) and control group (n=23). The control group received conventional rehabilitation treatment, the treatment group received nerve mobilization everyday in addition for 1 month. The score of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association score (JOA score) were observed before and after treatment. Results There was no significant difference in the score of VAS and JOA between 2 groups before treatment (P>0.05). The score of VAS was significantly lower (P<0.001), and the JOA score was significantly higher (P<0.001) in the treatment group than in the control group after treatment. Conclusion The nerve mobilization is effective on sciatica in patients with lumbar disc herniation.
