The pathophysiology of functional dyspepsia is still unclear but several peptides have been indicated in the etiological factors in FD. Ghrelin and leptin are involved in regulation of appetite and gut motility and serotonin is a typical neurotransmitter related with sensory and motor functions of gut. On the other hand, transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor 1 (TRPV1) has been proposed to be involved with functional gastrointestinal disorder, and expression of this receptor could be regulated by nerve growth factor (NGF) or glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). The investigators aimed to determine whether expressions of ghrelin,leptin, serotonin,TRPV1,GDNF and NGF in blood or gastric mucosa of FD patients are different from those in healthy controls, and whether some changes of their expression correlate with certain dyspeptic symptoms. The investigators also investigated the effect of H. pylori infection by comparing their expressions before and one year after H. pylori eradication.
30% of ketamine users complain of abdominal discomfort. Long-term ketamine use is associated with hepatotoxicity and pathologic changes to the biliary tract. Yet the prevalence of gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary pathologies in ketamine users has not been well-described. The investigators plan to recruit a large number of ketamine users based on referrals from different Psychiatry clusters in Hong Kong and to investigate the underlying cause of abdominal discomfort, describe the prevalence of different gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary pathologies and describe their long-term outcome.
This is a clinical study to evaluate the efficacy between Helicobacter pylori Eradication therapy and Motilitone in Functional Dyspepsia
Background: Atrophic gastritis (AG) is the single most important precursor condition for gastric cancer (GC) known so far. H. pylori infection is the most important causative agent of gastritis, and subsequent AG. The GastroPanel test (Biohit HealthCare, Helsinki, Finland), a blood test evaluating the four biomarkers specific for the gastric mucosa pepsinogen I (P-PGI), pepsinogen II (P-PGII), gastrin-17 (P-G-17) and H. pylori antibody (P-HpAb), is the first non-invasive diagnostic tool providing possibilities for detecting the patients at risk for GC and peptic ulcer as well as malabsorption of vitamin B12, iron, magnesium, calcium and some drugs. A well designed clinical study is warranted to fully assess the performance of GastroPanel examination in detecting the gastric lesions which can lead to GC. The investigators aim to perform a clinical study in an adult population in United Kingdom in order to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the GastroPanel test in evaluating AG and other specific gastric conditions associated with an increased risk for GC. Methods: Two hundred and fifty patients (45 years and older, both genders) will be enrolled among the patients with dyspepsia referred for gastroscopy at Homerton University Hospital (London, United Kingdom). During the same visit, all patients are subjected to gastroscopy examination, with directed biopsies from the antrum and corpus, following the protocol of the operative link on gastritis assessment (OLGA) classification for chronic gastritis and Sydney Classification. Biopsies are examined at the Pathology laboratory of Homerton University Hospital and interpreted using the OLGA staging system as well as the Sydney system for classification of gastritis. Specific aims: The principal goal of this clinical trial is to establish the performance of the GastroPanel examination in detecting AG and other specific gastric conditions associated with an increased risk for GC. In particular, the investigators will evaluate AG in the antrum, AG in the corpus, AG in both antrum and corpus (=atrophic pangastritis), biopsy-confirmed dysplasia (intestinal metaplasia) of the gastric mucosa. For all these conditions, the investigators will calculate the diagnostic accuracy of the GastroPanel test.
Currently no ideal preventive modalities are available for reducing gastric-cancer caused mortality in organized population-based application. The primary objective of the study is to determine if H.pylori screening followed by eradication of positive subjects and endoscopic follow-up of those with serological evidence of atrophic gastritis reduces mortality from gastric cancer in middle-aged people in high-risk areas. The GISTAR study is a multicenter randomized study of H.pylori eradication and pepsinogen testing for prevention of gastric cancer mortality. Altogether 30.000 individuals aged 40-64 years will be enrolled, providing 90% study power to detect at least 35% reduction in gastric cancer mortality at 15 years of follow-up. Participants will be randomly allocated to one of two groups. In the active investigation/management group those positive for H.pylori will be offered eradication therapy and individuals with decreased pepsinogen I/II ratio will be invited for endoscopy. The control group will receive standard health care. The primary endpoint for this trial will be the mortality difference from gastric cancer between the two groups at 15 years or when enough cases accumulate to demonstrate a statistical difference. The study is expected to provide valuable information on the utility for reduction in gastric cancer mortality of: 1) H.pylori eradication in adults on a population-basis, including subjects who may already have pre-malignant lesions; and 2) pepsinogen testing in screening settings. A pilot study of 3,455 individuals prior to the main trial was conducted from October 2013 to December 2016.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Rikkunshito compared to placebo in Japanese subjects with Functional Dyspepsia (FD).
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of acupuncture treatment on functional dyspepsia.
Carbohydrate enriched-drinks has been used as preoperative treatment up to two hours before anesthesia. These drinks are safe and are not associated to bronchial aspiration during anesthesia. The addition of protein may be beneficial for metabolic preconditioning but there is a few data in literature testing these drinks for safety. The aim of the study will be to investigate the residual gastric volume (RGV) measured during the gastroscopy with abbreviation of fast to 2h with a carbohydrate plus whey protein enriched-drink.
This is a multicenter, active-controlled, randomized, double-blinded, paralleled group clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of 4-week treatment with Stillen tab. in patients with acute or chronic gastritis. Subject will receive Stillen tab or Mucosta tab., three times a day for four weeks.
