Protection against stress-induced acute gastric mucosal injury by free radical scavengers A.S. Salim The Trauma Centre at the Medical City, Baghdad, Iraq Received: 18 April 1991; accepted: 16 September 1991 Abstract. This study investigated whether the free radical

scavengers allopurinol (50 mg p.o.q.i.d.) and dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO, 500 mg p.o.q.i.d.) influence the incidence of stress-induced acute gastric mucosal injury in patients with pelvic fractures and hypovolaemic shock. In 177 fully evaluable patients (control n = 58, allopurinol n = 62, DMSO n = 57), endoscopically proven stress-induced injury evolved in a significantly (p
