Filter by:The investigators in the present study, aimed to assess the efficacy of both White-Light Endoscopy with High Resolution Endoscopy-Narrow-band imaging in the diagnosis of Premalignant Gastric Conditions, before and after Helicobacter pylori-eradication. A prospective study was performed in our institution involving the regular use of high resolution gastroscopes with and without Narrow-band imaging. From May 2018 to April 2019, all patients that received an endoscopic diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori-related gastritis with/without Premalignant Gastric Conditions by an expert endoscopist, were reassessed by White-Light Endoscopy and High Resolution Endoscopy-Narrow-band imaging, including biopsy samples according to the Sydney system, six months later after the proved Helicobacter pylori-eradication.
The investigators investigated the point mutations in the 23S rRNA genes of patients infected with clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori and compared the H. pylori eradication rates based on the identified clinically significant point mutations.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is an important causal factor of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric cancer and gastric lymphoma. The World Health Organization classified H. pylori as a Group 1 carcinogen in 1994. Endoscopic examination is indicated to confirm the above diagnosis for patient with H. pylori infection. The eradication of H. pylori can reduce the recurrence rate of peptic ulcer disease and even has the potential to prevent gastric cancer. H. pylori is the most common chronic bacterial infection in humans. The prevalence of H. pylori is about 30-50% in the Western adult population. It is estimated that about 50% of people are infected with this bacterium in Taiwan. Triple therapy which contains a proton pump inhibitor and two antibiotics among clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and metronidazole is the most commonly used regimen for H. pylori eradication. The treatment duration is 7 to 14 days. However, the eradication rate of standard triple therapy has fallen below 80% in many countries due to the worldwide increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistant strains. Several strategies have been proposed to increase the eradication rate in the first line therapy or as a rescue therapy, including extending the treatment duration to 14 days, increasing the doses of antibiotics, the use of four or even five drugs regimen (sequential, concomitant, quadruple or quintuple therapy), and other antibiotics such as levofloxacin. However, these therapies may increase the side effects and costs of treatment, decrease the compliance of patients and increase the rate of worldwide antibiotic resistance steadily. The WHO has listed H. Pylori as one of 16 antibiotic-resistant bacteria that have the greatest threat to human health in February, 2017. The most commonly used oral antibiotics for the treatment of H. pylori are Amoxicillin、Clarithromycin、Metronidazole、Levofloxacin and Tetracycline. However, with the increasing rates of antibiotic-resistance for Clarithromycin and Metronidazole, the Clarithromycin and Metronidazole were replaced by Levofloxacin as a first line or second line treatment in some area. However, the eradication rate of Levofloxacin-containing triple therapy is suboptimal in many countries. The investigators aim to compare the efficacy of different formulation between Levofloxacin Powder and Levofloxacin Solution in the Intraluminal levofloxacin therapy, and to improve the eradication efficacy of one-week Levofloxacin-containing triple therapy via the Intraluminal therapy.
Background: Recommended proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-clarithromycin-amoxicillin or metronidazole treatment for 7 to14 days is the first choice treatment for H pylori infection. The eradication rate of the standard triple therapy has generally declined to unacceptable levels (i.e., 80% or less) recently because the increasing incidence of clarithromycin-resistant strains of H. pylori. Standard triple therapies should be abandoned in the areas with clarithromycin resistance ≥ 20%. The investigators have proven that 7-day Concomitant therapy can achieve a promising success rate of >90 % in the presence of clarithromycin resistance. However, high dose PPI is needed with a dosage of twice daily but when a dual delayed release formulation PPI in capsules for oral administration (Dexlansoprazole MR), a once daily dose may be needed only. The capsules contain dexlansoprazole in a mixture of two types of enteric-coated granules with different pH-dependent dissolution profiles. It suppresses gastric acid secretion via inhibition of the proton pump in the gastric parietal cell, which blocks the final step of acid production. Thus, it improves acid suppression and offer benefits over conventional single release PPI formulations. by prolonging optimal plasma concentration and create a favorable condition H. pylori eradication Aim: The efficacy of Dexlansoprazole MR-based concomitant quadruple therapy
From the profiles of antibiotic susceptibility data following eradication therapy, tetracycline, amoxicillin and levofloxacin are all good candidates of antibiotics used in the rescue treatment.
Both hybrid and high-dose dual therapies developed by the scholars from Taiwan can achieve a high eradication rate for clarithromycin-resistant strains, and have a great potential to replace bismuth quadruple therapy in the treatment of H. pylori infection.
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most popular bariatric surgery in the world. The most important complication about this surgery that the leakage from the stapler line because of the inconvenient stapler choice..The stapler colour has to be chosen to the gastric wall thickness. It is not known well that the effect of Helicobacter pylori to gastric wall thickness Nobody pay any attention about being Helicobacter pylori positive when they are choosing stapler colour during the Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy so that everybody use the same type of stapler in Helicobacter pylori positive and negative patients during the Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy .Because of this inconvenient staplers use in the Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy the risk of leakage would be increase. Purpose of this research is that what is the effect of Helicobacter pylori to the gastric wall thickness and if the patients who will undergo Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy take the Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy before the surgery will gastric wall thickness increase or decrease. .
Increasing drug resistance presents a significant challenge to the efficacies of common empiric eradication regimens for Helicobacter pylori treatment in the mainland of China. Tailored therapy may be the best choice to achieve good efficacy, especially in patients with penicillin allergy. Few studies had evaluated the patients with penicillin allergy.This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of antibiotic sensitivity-based tailored therapy for Helicobacter pylori treatment in the patients with penicillin allergy.
The eradication rate of standard quadruple therapy has become less successful due to low compliance and high resistance to the antibiotics. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new treatment strategies that increase the eradication rate and reduce adverse effects. The aims of this prospective study is to investigate the efficacy of Saccharomyces Boulardii sachets for eradication of Hp, compared with standard quadruple therap.
South Korea has the highest incidence of gastric cancer worldwide and Helicobacter pylori infection is still prevalent. Clarithromycin-containing triple therapy is still the primary therapy approved by the Korean government. However, studies of antibiotic resistance has shown that regional resistance pattern to antibiotics such as clarithromycin, metronidazole, or quinolone. Recent study in Korea has shown that modified-quadruple therapy has comparable eradication rate to concomitant therapy. However, there has been no comparable study of modified-quadruple therapy with bismuth-containing quadruple therapy. The aim of this study is to compare the eradication rate of modified-quadruple therapy and bismuth-containing quadruple therapy with presenting phenotypic and genotypic antibiotic resistance profile.
