Abstract:Objective To explore the efficacy of Teprenone and Fuweisan in the treatment of patients with chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG). Methods A random prospective and self-control clinical trial was carried out. A total of 180 H. pylori-negative patients with CAG in our hospital from January 2013 to October 2016 were selected and divided into a group A (60 cases treated with Fuweisan, 1200 mg/time, three times a day), a group B (60 cases treated with Teprenone, 50 mg/time, three times a day), and a group C (60 cases treated by Fuweisan and Teprenone with the same dosages and administration as group A and group B). The treatment course lasted for half a year. The improvement of clinical symptoms in each group was observed before and after treatment. The pathological improvement of gastric mucosa was inspected before and after treatment by marking targeting biopsy. The chi-square test was performed for the comparison between the groups. Results The total effective rates of clinical symptoms in the groups A, B and C were 46.7% (28/60), 41.7% (25/60) and 70.0% (42/60) respectively; the curative effect of the group C was higher than that of the group A and the group B, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.017). The total effective rates and the significant effective rates on gastric mucosal pathological changes (including atrophy, intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia) in the group C were significantly higher than those of the group A and the group B, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.017). Conclusions Fuweisan and Teprenone combination can obviously improve the curative effect on CAG, and has good clinical application value.
