title: [Preliminary screening of Chinese herbal medicine in inhibiting Helicobacter pylori].
abstract: At present Helicobacter pylori (HP) was taken to be closely related to chronic atrophic gastritis and peptic ulcer. 226 patients with symptoms of upper digestive tract by endoscope were examined and chronic atrophic gastritis and peptic ulcer were diagnosed. Mucous membrane from gastric antrum was taken and cultured, and found that 136 cases of 226 patients were HP positive and the rate of positiveness was 60.18%. 200 kinds of Chinese herbal medicine were selected to investigate its inhibitory action on HP. Results indicated that 38 among 200 kinds of Chinese herbal medicine had inhibitory effects on HP, which provided evidence for diagnosis and treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis and peptic ulcer, also for inhibition of HP growth.
