Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect and possible mechanisms of Berberine combined with quadruple therapy in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori (Hp)-positive peptic ulcer. Methods Forty cases of Hp-positive peptic ulcer patients in the Sixth People′s Hospital of Chongqing City from December 2015 to February 2018 were collected and divided into combined group and control group by using random number table method, each group of 20 cases. Control group was treated with quadruple therapy, while combined group was treated with Berberine on the basis of quadruple therapy. The curative effect, eradication rate of Hp and adverse reactions of two groups were observed. The expression of COX-2 in gastric tissues of two groups before and after treatment was compared. Results There was no significant difference in total effective rate between two groups (P > 0.05). The eradication rate of Hp in combined group was higher than that in control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in incidence of abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea, diarrhea and taste changes between two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, the expression of COX-2 in gastric tissue of both groups was lower than those before treatment, and the expression of COX-2 in gastric tissues of combined group was lower than that of control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Berberine combined with quadruple therapy is superior to quadruple therapy alone in the treatment of Hp-positive peptic ulcer. Berberine may promote ulcer healing and Hp eradication by inhibiting the expression of COX-2.
