[Effectiveness and safety of 150 mg vs 300 mg ranitidine twice a day in duodenal ulcer].

394 patients with endoscopically diagnosed duodenal ulcer were randomly allocated to treatment with ranitidine 150 bid o ranitidine 300 mg bid in a prospective double-blind multicenter trial conducted in seven LatinoAmerican countries. Endoscopy at 4 weeks showed complete ulcer healing en 171 of 196 patients (87.2%) treated with ranitidine 150 mg bid and 178 of 198 (89.9%) treated with ranitidine 300 mg bid. Both treatment regimens were equally effective at rapidly reducing the incidence of ulcer-related symptoms. It is possible that higher dosage regimen of ranitidine would be useful in patients with more severe duodenal ulcer disease.

[Experimental pancreas transplantation].

Experimental pancreatic transplantation was performed in dogs using different surgical techniques. Ten dogs underwent whole organ graft with diversion of exocrine secretion by anastomosis of duodenal segment to bladder (six animals) and of duodenum to a jejunal loop (four animals). Segmental pancreatic grafts were performed in 10 dogs with ductal filling with polymer in six animals and duct ligation in four dogs. It is concluded that segmental pancreatic graft with ductal filling with polymer is preferable to the other surgical techniques.
