Figure 3

Observation for aPRP therapy for peptic ulcer. (a) A 46-year-old female patient had an 8 mm duodenal ulcer and received the combination therapy of aPRP and rabeprazole. (A) Before the treatment. (B) After 10-day treatment. (b) A 35-year-old male patient had an 8 mm gastric ulcer and was cured only by rabeprazole. (A) Before the treatment. (B) After 10-day treatment. (C) After 20-day treatment. The arrow shows the ulcer. It can be seen that the gastric mucosa in the PRP group is closer to the normal gastric mucosa after treatment, while the scar tissue filling in the control group is more obvious.
