摘要
Refractory peptic ulceration refers to those gastric and duodenal ulcers that are slow to heal despite active treatment. Oxygen-derived free radicals are cytotoxic and promote tissue injury. This report shows that radical scavengers stimulate the healing of refractory peptic ulceration, thus, providing a valuable method for the treatment of such ulceration.
