Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In a pilot study, 26 rheumatoid arthritic patients taking continuous, stable dosage regimens of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and with developed gastric and duodenal lesions were administered sucralfate 1 g four times per day (14 patients) or cimetidine 400 mg twice daily (12 patients) in a single-blind regimen for six weeks. Eleven of the patients given sucralfate and eight of the patients taking cimetidine had improved lesion scores. The lesion score of 10 of the 14 patients taking sucralfate and four of the 12 patients taking cimetidine improved by 50 percent or better (not significant). The antrum and body of the gastric mucosa and the mucosa of the duodenum synthesized prostanoids and thromboxane A2, and there was no significant difference in the synthesis of individual prostanoids at entry to the trial in the groups assigned to sucralfate or cimetidine. After six weeks of administration of sucralfate, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis by the antrum and body, but not the duodenum, was significantly greater than observed in the biopsy specimens at entry despite continuation of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy. After six weeks of cimetidine treatment, no change in PGE2 synthesis was noted in any biopsy specimens when compared with the synthesis at entry. No change in the synthesis of PGF2 alpha, 6-oxo-PGF1 alpha, or thromboxane B2 was noted in gastric or duodenal biopsy specimens in any treatment group. Sucralfate and cimetidine administration resulted in improved gastroduodenal lesion scores in rheumatoid arthritic patients continuing with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy. |
