Core Tip
Core Tip: With the widespread use of antibiotics, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has a high rate of infection and antibiotic resistance, posing a serious threat to human life. The development of new drugs is difficult. One of the main strategies to overcome drug resistance is to develop new treatment plans. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is commonly used to treat many diseases in China, and it can reduce drug resistance and increase eradication rates of H. pylori. which is recognized by most patients. In this paper, the treatment plans of TCM in H. pylori treatment are screened out: Dampness-heat syndrome in the spleen and stomach, deficiency spleen and stomach, cold-heat complicated syndrome, and the effective components are analyzed. It is recommended that doctors choose appropriate integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine treatments based on the dialectical type of TCM etiology and the characteristics of H. pylori resistance. The program provides new methods and new ideas for the radical cure of H. pylori infection.
