Helicobacter pylori（Hp）is listed as a Class 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research of Cancer (IARC), Eradicating Hp can significantly reduce the risk of gastric cancer. In recent years, the resistance rate of Hp to antibiotics, especially Clarithromycin and Metronidazole, has increased, leading to the gradual reduction of the eradication rate . In addition, PPI is mainly metabolized by CYP2C19 in the body, and the genetic polymorphism of this enzyme activity in the population results in significant individual differences in the acid suppression effect of PPI; At the same time, PPI will affect the metabolism of other drugs by affecting the activity of CYP2C19 in the liver. Potassium ion competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) are a new type of antacids, and vonoprazan is a representative of this class of drugs. Compared to traditional proton pump inhibitors, it has higher selectivity towards proton pumps, stronger acid inhibition effect, faster onset time , longer sustained acid inhibition time, and less influence from food consumption. Therefore, it can effectively eliminate Helicobacter pylori . In recent years, Vonoprazan has been widely used in the eradication treatment of Hp . Vonoprazan can inhibit gastric acid secretion more strongly and persistently, therefore, eradication plans based on vonoprazan are expected to improve the eradication rate of Hp. Related studies have shown that compared to traditional proton pump inhibitors, vonoprazan has a more significant therapeutic effect and higher safety in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori positive peptic ulcers due to its unique mechanism of action..In recent years, there have been reports of successful eradication of multi drug resistant Hp retreated patients with Semisynthesis tetracycline. Some domestic scholars are also gradually trying to use Semisynthesis tetracycline to eradicate Hp infection. Minocycline is a Semisynthesis tetracycline. The drug sensitivity test in vitro showed that the resistance rate of Hp to Minocycline was low , suggesting that Minocycline may have a better effect on eradicating Hp. Therefore, the investigators further carried out a prospective single center clinical study and set up a penicillin negative group. One month after treatment, 13C carbon breath test was performed to check the efficacy, in order to explore the efficacy of the combination therapy based on vonoprazan in eradicating Hp, especially whether it is a good choice for penicillin allergy.
The study aimed to determine the effects of neuro-dynamic techniques on upper limb motor and sensory functions and to compare the effects of slider versus tensioner neuro-dynamic techniques on upper limb motor and sensory functions in pronator teres syndrome. The neuro-dynamic techniques is not common as a part of conventional therapy in neurological physical therapy practice so the study aims to compare the effects of both neuro-dynamic mobilization techniques on pronator teres syndrome.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of listening to fairy tales and watching cartoons on pain in the aspiration process in play-age children receiving palliative care.
The purpose of our study is to evaluate Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset stimulation (vCR) and its effects on refractory post-surgery PD. vCR will be administered with a device called the Stanford Glove. vCR is expected to provide patients with a non-invasive alternative to the most widely used treatments such as levodopa and or deep brain stimulation. Patients will be followed for two years.
The aging population is growing in Sweden and worldwide, highlighting the urgent need to address their needs using available societal resources. In Swedish nursing homes, about 80,000 people reside, 70% of whom have cognitive impairments, and many are physically inactive. Cognitive impairment negatively impacts daily activities and quality of life, and is the most common reason for moving from home to a nursing home. Methods to meet these individuals' needs must be developed to motivate physical, cognitive, and social activation, aiming to improve the quality of life for older people with cognitive impairments. Movement-based interactive technology is a type of welfare technology that uses a virtual environment to stimulate activity. Virtual cycling is one example, where the individual pedals a stationary bike while watching a self-chosen interactive film. Virtual cycling thus includes multiple elements such as physical activation and cognitive and social stimulation. Previous research has shown virtual cycling to be a promising method for older adults with cognitive impairments. Few nursing homes have used this method, but a pilot project (unpublished) at nursing home for people with dementia, the investigators observed positive effects on the residents' quality of life. Virtual cycling has only been evaluated in three small international research studies, none of which have examined the impact on participants' quality of life. Therefore, the project's aim is to evaluate whether virtual cycling can improve quality of life and the physical, social, and cognitive activity abilities of older people with cognitive impairments. 1. Does virtual cycling contribute to an improved quality of life for older people with cognitive impairment? 2. How do residential staff and research assistants perceive the impact of virtual cycling on the physical, social, and cognitive abilities, as well as the quality of life, of older people with cognitive impairment? 3. What experiences do residential staff and research assistants have regarding the opportunities and obstacles for implementing virtual cycling?
MyoCell™ implantation by epicardial injection during CABG surgery has the potential to add a new dimension to the management of post-infarct deterioration of cardiac function. Based on existing non-clinical studies and clinical reports, implantation of autologous skeletal myoblasts appears to lead to the replacement of non-functioning myocardial scar with functioning muscle and appears to improve myocardial performance relative to case without myoblast implantation. In a few investigational patients, myoblast implantation can be, and has been, done in conjunction with CABG and appears to have the potential to provide for additive treatment during surgery. The present study is being conducted to evaluate more fully the safety of MyoCell™ implantation via epicardial injection during CABG surgery and its effect on regional myocardial function.
Gestational trophoblastic disease comprises a spectrum of diseases with different propensity for local invasion and metastasis, that is, partial and complete hydatidiform mole, choriocarcinoma, and placental site trophoblastic tumor.All trophoblastic tumors produce hCG, and monitoring of therapy is largely based on the determination of hCG in serum. The conformational change of tumor markers during antineoplastic chemotherapy for cancer and its clinical meaning has only been rarely studied. In this study, we will try to understand the conformational change of the tumor marker (hCG) during chemotherapy.
Investigate the role of MMPs in the CXCL12-induced invasion of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma
Investigating the effect of low dose growth hormone therapy on body fat composition, insulin sensitivity and metabolic profiles in middle-aged men with metabolic syndrome and low insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) level.
The protein composition of nutrition may affect the rate of gastric emptying and gastric fysiology. This is espesially important in children with neurologic impariment, who commonly rely on tube feedings, have feeding problems, nausea, vomiting, gastroesophageal reflux and delayed gastric emptying. We aim to find out whether 4 different protein sources affect the rate of gastric emptying and electrofysiology in this group of children.
