[Reflux esophagitis after H. pylori eradication].

We have reported that prevalence of H. pylori infection and grade of atrophic gastritis were significantly lower, while acid secretion was significantly greater in the patients with reflux esophagitis than those without it. We have also reported that increased gastric acid secretion after H. pylori eradication may explain a reason for developing reflux esophagitis. Therefore, H. pylori is considered to be a protective factor for the development of reflux esophagitis via the induction of gastric hyposecretion. Conversely, according to recent large population-based studies, no evidence was obtained that supports the increased frequency of heartburn symptoms or reflux oesophagitis after the eradication of H. pylori. One reason for the discrepancy may be the difference in the evaluation of gastro-esophageal reflux, another reason may be the difference in acid secretion before the clearance of H. pylori in individual subjects, because the effects of H. pylori on acid secretion vary from patient to patient.

[Vagotomy in the treatment of bleeding reflux-esophagitis and gastroduodenal bleedings].

Fifteen-year experience in the treatment of 588 patients with esophageal and gastroduodenal bleedings is analyzed. Surgery was performed in 286 patients, 302 patients were treated conservatively including 71 patients who underwent endoscopic procedures. Principles of differentiated treatment policy are developed. Selective proximal vagotomy in combination with fundoplication (if indicated, with surgeries draining the stomach) is surgery of choice in bleeding reflux-esophagitis and gastroduodenal ulcerous bleedings. These methods eliminate pathogenetic factors of bleeding gastro-esophageal reflux, lower acidity of gastric juice.
