Gastric cancer remains a global health problem, and Chile has one of the highest GC mortality rates in the region. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is ubiquitous in Chilean adults, and it constitutes the main cause of GC worldwide. A long-term process occurs from premalignant lesions to carcinoma. H. pylori eradication during early stages of disease significantly impacts outcomes, favoring survival, disease reversal and molecular changes, which supports a "screen and treat" strategy in asymptomatic populations in areas with intermediate-to-high GC prevalence. The Investigators' previous research has shown that H. pylori infection is acquired in early childhood with low rates of spontaneous eradication. A pilot treatment study in a subset of school-aged asymptomatic children showed a high rate of successful eradication (>95%), good tolerance, and was associated with a decrease in serum biomarkers of gastric damage (pepsinogen I and II). Based on the results of these studies, the Investigators propose to advance towards the next stage of this research process: a "screen and treat" strategy. The current trial starts with a Screening phase testing 1000 asymptomatic adolescents 14-18 years of age from 3 cities of Chile (Colina, Temuco and Coyhaique), to find a total of 200-250 persistently-infected participants. Persistently-infected adolescents will be included in a Second phase of this trial: A randomized, case-control, non-blinded study to either receive antimicrobial treatment targeting H. pylori eradication (cases) or no treatment (controls). A subset of 60 non-infected adolescents will be followed-up in matched times. This aims to provide evidence on the effect of treatment on clinical outcomes and serum biomarkers related to gastric damage, as well as composition and antimicrobial resistance of gut microbiota. The Investigators expect that eradication therapy will be successful in >90% of persistently infected adolescents, with reinfection rates not surpassing 15% in a 2-3 year period, and to be associated with a decrease in clinical findings indicative of gastric disease, and a decrease in serum biomarker indicative of "gastric damage".
Current guidelines have recommended classical bismuth-containing quadruple therapy including proton-pump inhibitor, bismuth, tetracycline, metronidazole as the empirical rescue therapy. However, tetracycline is clinically unavailable in China and the high frequency of adverse events of bismuth quadruple therapy often result in poor compliance, which limited the applicability of this recommendation. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and tolerability of a 14-day bismuth-containing quadruple rescue therapy in which tetracycline was replaced by doxycycline.
Dual therapy containing vonoprazan and amoxicillin had showed excellent eradication results with Helicobacter pylori first-line treatment. However, no study has examined its efficacy for H. pylori rescue treatment. Rifabutin has low antibiotic resistance, superior antibacterial activity in vitro, and stability in the gastric acid environment. Several studies have confirmed the efficacy of rifabutin-containing triple therapy as a first-line or rescue treatment for H. pylori. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dual therapy vesus rifabutin-containing triple therapy versus classical bismuth-containing quadruple therapy as rescue therapy for the eradication of refractory Helicobacter pylori.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a common global infectious disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Helicobacter pylori eradication can effectively prevent the development of stomach cancer. Progressive application of dual therapy for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori. Tegoprazan, a Potassium-Competitive Acid Blockers. The efficacy of P-CAB agents represented by vonoprazan in H. pylori eradication therapy has been widely verified.
The epidemiology of H. pylori infection among children in Slovenia has not been investigated. Therefore, we are conducting a study to examine the epidemiology of H. pylori and associated risk factors among children in Slovenia.
Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative bacterium that resides in the stomach and can cause inflammation leading to long-term effects, such as gastric ulcers, cancer, and lymphoma of the stomach mucosal linings Previous research and analysis of H. pylori prevalence in populations have examined common risk factors that increase the likelihood of acquiring the bacteria. Some of the most commonly identified risk factors across various studies in different geographic populations are larger family size, less education, lower socioeconomic status, less frequent hygiene practices, and lower sanitation with specific emphasis on sources of water and defecation. aim of the work: Studying prevalence of Helicobacter Pylori infection and its related risk factors in children and young adults in Sohag governorate.
The researchers collect H.pylori-positive patients who need rescue therapy from the outpatient clinic. The subjects were randomized to receive a dose and frequency of tetracycline 500mg tid or qid of bismuth quadruple eradication therapy. 6-8 weeks after treatment, the subjects will re-take the 13C-urea breath test. Calculate the eradication rates, adverse reaction rates and patient compliance of each group.
Helicobacter pylori is among the most common bacterial infections in humans. Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative, S -shaped rod .The most likely mode of transmission is fecal-oral or oral-oral. Helicobacter pylori infection is acquired in early life and continues to have a high prevalence, especially in developing countries. Growing antibiotic-resistant strains necessitate adapted treatments. The majority of children with Helicobacter pylori infection remain asymptomatic, although a percentage of the infected children do develop Helicobacter. pylori-associated diseases. Helicobacter pylori is closely associated with the development of gastritis, gastric or duodenal ulcers. Helicobacter pylori infection can manifest with abdominal pain or vomiting and, less often, refractory iron deficiency anemia or growth retardation. Helicobacter pylori can be associated, though rarely, with chronic autoimmune thrombocytopenia. Anemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, short stature, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) have also been reported as possible extra-gastric manifestations of Helicobacter pylori infection . The diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection is made histologically by demonstrating the organism in the biopsy specimens. 13 C-urea breath tests and stool antigen tests are reliable noninvasive methods of detecting Helicobacter pylori infection in patients who do not require endoscopic evaluation. However, some guidelines recommend that non-invasive assessment methods are reserved to determine whether Helicobacter pylori has been eradicated not for diagnosis .However Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis may, however, be an incidental histopathologic finding during upper endoscopy performed for unrelated indications such as the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease, or celiac disease.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a gram-negative flagellated bacterium that inhabits the gastric environment of 60.3% of the world population, and its prevalence is particularly high in countries with inferior socioeconomic conditions, exceeding 80% in some regions of the globe , This phenomenon occurs among other reasons, due to the unsatisfactory basic sanitation and high people aggregations observed in many under developed nations, scenarios that favour the oral-oral and fecal-oral transmissions of H.pylori.Another possible transmission route of this pathogen is the sexual route. Several studies have shown that the colonization of H.pylori could be negatively and positively associated with the induction and progression of several diseases .It has been reported to be linked to gastric and duodenal ulcer, gastric carcinoma, and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and gastritis ,A positive association also reported between H.pylori infection and oesophageal cancer. Moreover, evidence is also available on the positive association between H.pylori and non gastrointestinal diseases such as diabetes mellitus , coronary artery disease , and anaemia. Abdominal pain and discomfort, nausea, burping, and loss of appetite are common symptoms of H.pylori infection. Other symptoms include, bloating, weight loss, and heart burn. Several approaches are used in the detection of H. pylori. Both the invasive and the non-invasive methods are employed in the detection of H. pylori in a patient. Many factors, however, influence choices in the method of diagnosis: availability of diagnostic instruments/materials, sampling population, and competency and experience of the physicians/clinicians . Invasive methods include endoscopic evaluation, histology, rapid urease test (RUT), and bacterial culture. Non-invasive methods include urea breath test (UBT), stool antigen test (SAT), serology, and molecular diagnostic approaches .Endoscopy is an accurate test for diagnosing the infection as well as the inflammation. Endoscopy also allows the determination of the severity of gastritis with biopsies as well as the presence of ulcers, MALT lymphoma and cancer. Real-time endoscopy along with conventional white light imaging (WLI)and image enhanced endoscopic (IEE)techniques, such as narrow-band imaging (NBI), linked color imaging (LCI) and blue laser imaging (BLI), appear to have important roles in clinical practice to identify H. pyloriinfected status . Another endoscopic technique is i-scan digital chromoendoscopy, which is a digital contrast method that enhances minute mucosal structures and subtle changes in color . The overall diagnostic accuracy of i-scan is 97% compared to 78% for WLI .
