Filter by:The objectives of this study are to examine the effects of ethnicity, gender, and proton pump inhibitor (PPI, omeprazole), on the human gut microbiome. The investigators hypothesize that PPI therapy might perturb microbial communities and alter the gut microbiome. Young, healthy subjects of Chinese, Malay and Indian ancestry, were enrolled. They were required to provide a baseline stool sample (Day 1) and were then given a course of omeprazole at therapeutic dose (20 mg daily) for a duration of 7 days. Stool samples were collected again on Day 7 and Day 14 (one week after stopping omeprazole). The DNA samples were subjected to 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) sequencing.
This is a double-blind,randomised,placebo-controlled clinical trial.We would like to investigate the safety and efficacy of Jianpi Qinghua granule(a Chinese herbal compound) combined with half-dose omeprazole in treatment of non-erosive reflux disease(NERD).
This pilot clinical trial studies how well a swallowable sponge cell sampling device and next generation sequencing work in detecting esophageal cancer in patients with low or high grade dysplasia, Barrett esophagus, or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Checking biomarkers in abnormal esophageal cells using a swallowable sponge cell sampling device and next generation sequencing may improve diagnosis and treatment of esophageal cancer.
Obesity is a strong risk factor for GERD. This study assessed the role of obesity among patients having erosive GERD and controls.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of dexlansoprazole compared to placebo in relief of daytime and nighttime heartburn over 4 weeks in Chinese participants with symptomatic non-erosive Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of ilaprazole relative to that of esomeprazole in healing erosive esophagitis and resolving accompanying symptoms of GERD.
Due to several promoting factors, gastro-esophageal reflux (GER) is very frequent in preterm infants. To limit the potentially harmful widespread of pharmacological treatment, a step-wise approach, which firstly undertakes conservative strategies, is currently considered the best choice to manage GER in the preterm population. Among the most common conservative strategies, postural measures seem to effectively reduce GER features in symptomatic preterm babies, whereas feed thickening is almost ineffective. Due to their prematurity, preterm infants <34 weeks gestation are often unable to coordinate sucking, swallowing and breathing, thus requiring a feeding tube to ensure adequate enteral intakes. Continuous feeding and boluses are the most common techniques of enteral tube feeding in Neonatal Intensive Care Units; at present, however, the effects of these techniques on GER features have not been clearly established. This observational, prospective and explorative study primarily aims to evaluate the effect of different techniques of enteral tube feeding on GER frequency and features in symptomatic preterm infants (gestational age ≤33 weeks) undergoing a diagnostic combined pH and multiple intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) for GER evaluation.
Lesogaberan may be used in Chinese GERD patients with partial response to PPI.
Does baseline impedance measured during the landmark phase of esophageal High resolution impedance manometry HRIM correlates with direct mucosal impedance measurement and discriminates GERD from non GERD patients?
A randomized controlled cross-over trial in full-term infants affected by symptoms suggestive of GER, evaluated through a validated questionnaire (Infant Gastroesophageal Reflux Questionnaire Revised). The parents of all of the enrolled infants will be reassured on the benign nature of the condition and will advise to apply lifestyle changes for one week. Than, the patients will be randomized into one of the two sequence treatment groups. (group A: Mg alginate/thickened formula; group B: thickened formula/Mg alginate) for two weeks. Evaluation of symptom scores will be performed at day 0, day 7, day 21 and day 35.
