Abstract

Aim. To analyze the anti-inflammatory efficacy of Regasthym Gastro (alpha-glutamyl-tryptophan) in the treatment of patients with chronic atrophic gastritis according to endoscopic and morphometric studies.

Materials and methods. As part of a double-blind placebo-controlled study, the results of gastroscopy and histological (morphometric) studies were retrospective analyzed in 80 patients diagnosed with chronic atrophic gastritis associated with Helicobacter pylori in exacerbation: 43 patients took Regasthym Gastro, 37 patients – placebo. The conclusions of the gastroscopy were structured in the form of a standardized scale, which included an assessment of criteria in points (from 0 to 3): thickness of folds, hyperemia, edema of the gastric mucosa, the signs of atrophy, metaplasia; the severity of the erosive process. The sum of points according to all criteria was used to assess the dynamics of the inflammatory process: positive dynamics; lack of dynamics; the pathological process is progressing. The results of the endoscopic examination were compared with morphometry data (the number of inflammation pool cells per 1 mm2 of gastric mucosa). Statistical processing of the results was carried out using the Statistica 12 application software package.

Results. According to the gastroscopy, before therapy, hyperemia of the gastric mucosa was present in 82.5%, edema – in 53.8%, erosion – in 17.5%, signs of metaplasia – in 12.5% of patients. After therapy with the investigated drug a statistically significant decrease in the severity of edema of the gastric mucosa (p=0.008), the total set of signs of acute inflammatory process (p=0.006), a decrease in the proportion of outcomes with negative dynamics of the inflammatory process (p=0.038) was revealed. Statistically significant (p<0.05) correlations were found between gastroscopy data of inflammation and the number of neutrophil, eosinophil granulocytes, macrophages and lymphocytes per 1 mm2.

Conclusion. Regasthym Gastro contributes to a significant decrease in the severity of the inflammatory process according to the evaluation of the results of gastroscopy and morphometry. It is possible to recommend the inclusion of this drug in the complex therapy of chronic gastritis to increase the effectiveness and reduce the risks of progression of inflammation.
