Abstract
The enrichment of oral taxa in the gut has recently been reported as a notable alteration in the microbial balance in patients with intestinal disorders. However, translocation in populations without such diseases remains controversial. In this study, we examined 49 pairs of tongue and rectal samples collected from orthopedic patients without a history of intestinal disorders to verify the presence of oral taxa in the rectal microbiota. The bacterial composition of each sample was determined using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and amplicon sequence variant (ASV) analysis. Although the bacterial compositions of the tongue and rectal microbiota were distinctly different, tongue ASVs were detected in 67.3% of the participants and accounted for 0.0%-9.37% of the rectal microbiota. Particularly, Streptococcus salivarius, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Streptococcus parasanguinis were abundant in the rectal microbiota. According to the network analysis, tongue taxa, such as S. salivarius and S. parasanguinis, formed a cohabiting group with Klebsiella pneumoniae and Alistipes finegoldii in the rectal microbiota. The total abundance of tongue ASVs in the rectal microbiota was significantly higher in participants with older age, hypertension, and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use. Our study presents an extensive translocation of oral taxa to the rectum of a population without intestinal disorders and suggests that aging, hypertension, and PPI use are associated with an increased abundance of oral taxa and potential pathogenic bacteria in the rectal microbiota.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While concomitant medications can affect the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), few studies have assessed associations of concomitant medications with the occurrence and profile of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). METHODS This study assessed associations of concomitant medication (antibiotics/proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)/corticosteroids)-based risk model termed the "drug score" with survival and the occurrence and profile of irAEs in 851 patients with advanced cancer treated with ICIs (with or without other agents). The study also assessed the survival impact of the occurrence of irAEs, using a landmark analysis to minimize immortal time bias. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard analyses were conducted for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS The drug score classified patients into three risk groups, with significantly different PFS and OS. Notably, the score's predictive capability was better in patients treated with ICIs only than in those treated with ICIs plus other agents. The landmark analysis showed that patients who developed irAEs had significantly longer PFS and OS than those without irAEs. Generally, concomitant medications were negatively associated with the occurrence of irAEs, especially endocrine irAEs, whereas PPI use was positively associated with gastrointestinal irAEs, as an exception. CONCLUSIONS Using a large pan-cancer cohort, the prognostic ability of the drug score was validated, as well as that of the occurrence of irAEs. The negative association between concomitant medications and irAE occurrence could be an indirect measure of the detrimental effect on the immune system induced by one or more concomitant drugs.

Abstract
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is a chronic condition characterised by visceral pain in the distal oesophagus. The current first-line treatment for GORD is proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), however, PPIs are ineffective in a large cohort of patients and long-term use may have adverse effects. Emerging evidence suggests that nerve fibre number and location are likely to play interrelated roles in nociception in the oesophagus of GORD patients. Simultaneously, alterations in cells of the oesophageal mucosa, namely epithelial cells, mast cells, dendritic cells, and T lymphocytes, have been a focus of GORD research for several years. The oesophagus of GORD patients exhibits both macro- and micro-inflammation as a response to chronic acidic reflux at the epithelium. In other conditions of the GI tract, such as IBS and IBD, well-characterised bidirectional processes between immune cells and mucosal nerve fibres contribute to pathogenesis and symptom generation. Sensory alterations in these conditions such as nerve fibre outgrowth and hypersensitivity can be driven by inflammatory processes, which promote visceral pain signalling. This review will examine what is currently known of the molecular pathways linking inflammation and sensory perception leading to the development of GORD symptoms and explore potentially relevant mechanisms in other GI regions which may indicate new areas in GORD research.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) often have esophageal motility abnormalities and weak esophago-gastric junction (EGJ) barrier function, which causes proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-refractory reflux esophagitis (RE). The aims of this study were to clarify the current management of RE and prevalence and risk factors of medication-refractory RE in patients with SSc in Japan. METHODS A total of 188 consecutive patients with SSc who underwent both esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) were reviewed. The presence of RE and grades of the gastroesophageal flap valve (GEFV) were assessed. Esophageal motility was assessed retrospectively according to the Chicago classification v3.0. When RE was seen on a standard dose of PPI or any dose of vonoprazan (VPZ), it was defined as medication-refractory RE. RESULTS Approximately 80% of patients received maintenance therapy with acid secretion inhibitors regardless of esophageal motility abnormalities. Approximately 50% of patients received maintenance therapy with PPI, and approximately 30% of patients received VPZ. Medication-refractory RE was observed in 30 patients (16.0%). In multivariable analyses, the number of EGD and absent contractility were significant risk factors for medication-refractory RE. Furthermore, combined absent contractility and GEFV grade III or IV had higher odds ratios than did absent contractility alone. CONCLUSIONS Patients with persistent reflux symptoms and those with absent contractility and GEFV grade III or IV should receive maintenance therapy with strong acid inhibition to prevent medication-refractory RE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diagnosing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can be challenging given varying symptom presentations, and complex multifactorial pathophysiology. The gold standard for GERD diagnosis is esophageal acid exposure time (AET) measured by pH-metry. A variety of additional diagnostic tools are available. The goal of this consensus was to assess the individual merits of GERD diagnostic tools based on current evidence, and provide consensus recommendations following discussion and voting by experts. METHODS This consensus was developed by 15 experts from nine countries, based on a systematic search of the literature, using GRADE (grading of recommendations, assessment, development and evaluation) methodology to assess the quality and strength of the evidence, and provide recommendations regarding the diagnostic utility of different GERD diagnosis tools, using AET as the reference standard. KEY RESULTS A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) trial is appropriate for patients with heartburn and no alarm symptoms, but nor for patients with regurgitation, chest pain, or extraesophageal presentations. Severe erosive esophagitis and abnormal reflux monitoring off PPI are clearly indicative of GERD. Esophagram, esophageal biopsies, laryngoscopy, and pharyngeal pH monitoring are not recommended to diagnose GERD. Patients with PPI-refractory symptoms and normal endoscopy require reflux monitoring by pH or pH-impedance to confirm or exclude GERD, and identify treatment failure mechanisms. GERD confounders need to be considered in some patients, pH-impedance can identify supragrastric belching, impedance-manometry can diagnose rumination. CONCLUSIONS Erosive esophagitis on endoscopy and abnormal pH or pH-impedance monitoring are the most appropriate methods to establish a diagnosis of GERD. Other tools may add useful complementary information.

Abstract
The pulp-paper industry is one of the main industrial sectors that produce massive amounts of residual sludge, constituting an enormous environmental burden for the industries. Traditional sludge management practices, such as landfilling and incineration, are restricted due to mounting environmental pressures, complex regulatory frameworks, land availability, high costs, and public opinion. Valorization of pulp-paper industry sludge (PPS) to produce high-value products is a promising substitute for traditional sludge management practices, promoting their reuse and recycling. Valorization of PPIS for biorefinery beneficiation includes biomethane, biohydrogen, bioethanol, biobutanol, and biodiesel production for renewable energy generation. Additionally, the various thermo-chemical technologies can be utilized to synthesize bio-oil, hydrochar, biochar, adsorbent, and activated carbon, signifying potential for value-added generation. Moreover, PPIS can be recycled as a byproduct by incorporating it into nanocomposites, cardboard, and construction materials development. This paper aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of PPIS management approaches and thermo-chemical technologies utilized for the development of platform chemicals in industry. Substitute uses of PPIS, such as making building materials, developing supercapacitors, and making cardboard, are also discussed. In addition, this article deeply discusses recent developments in biotechnologies for valorizing PPIS to yield an array of valuable products, such as biofuels, lactic acids, cellulose, nanocellulose, and so on. This review serves as a roadmap for future research endeavors in the effective handling of PPIS.

Abstract
Factors that influence the pancreas microbiome are not well understood. Regular proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use induces significant alterations in the gut microbiome, including an increase in the abundance of Streptococcus, and may be associated with pancreatic cancer risk. The aim of this study was to examine whether PPI use is associated with pancreatic and duodenal tissue microbiomes. We compared 16S rRNA microbiome profiles of normal pancreatic and duodenal tissue from 103 patients undergoing pancreatic surgery for non-malignant indications, including 34 patients on PPIs, accounting for factors including age, smoking, body mass index and the presence of main pancreatic duct dilation. Histologically normal tissue from the pancreatic head had higher alpha diversity and enrichment of Firmicutes by phylum-level analysis and Streptococcus species compared to normal pancreas body/tail tissues (16.8 % vs 8.8 %, P = .02, and 5.9 % vs 1.4 %, P = .03, respectively). Measures of beta diversity differed significantly between the pancreas and the duodenum, but in subjects with main pancreatic duct dilation, beta diversity of pancreatic head tissue was more similar to normal duodenal tissue than those without pancreatic duct dilation. Duodenal tissue of PPI users had significant enrichment of Firmicute phyla (34.7 % vs. 14.1 %, P = .01) and Streptococcus genera (19.5 % vs. 5.2 %, P = .01) compared to non-users; these differences were not evident in pancreas tissues. By multivariate analysis, PPI use was associated with alpha diversity in the duodenum, but not in the pancreas. However, some differences in pancreas tissue beta diversity were observed between PPI users and non-users. In summary, we find differences in the microbiome profiles of the pancreas head versus the pancreatic body/tail and we find PPI use is associated with alterations in duodenal and pancreatic tissue microbiome profiles.

Abstract
PURPOSE Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used to treat a range of gastrointestinal diseases around the world. Long-term use of PPIs has been associated to a variety of undesirable effects. Although short-term therapy has been shown to have little or no effect on endocrine hormone in women, however, its long-term safety has received little attention. We aimed at evaluating long-term use of PPIs and its effects on female reproductive hormones as well as related clinical consequences. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in two outpatient gastroenterology clinics in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This study included female patients who had been using PPIs on a regular basis for 3 months or more. RESULTS In total of 101 participants, patients with sexual complaints have significantly altered levels of prolactin (p = 0.05), estrogen (p < 0.001) and progesterone (p = 0.001) than patient without sexual complaints. The frequency of amenorrhea (p < 0.001), cyclic disturbances (p < 0.001), breast augmentation (p = 0.001) and painful breast (p = 0.004) were statistically significant in patients with raised serum prolactin values. Serum values of Sex hormone binding globulin SHBG (p < 0.001), estradiol (p = 0.002) and total testosterone (p < 0.001) were significantly altered between normal prolactin and hyperprolactinemic patients. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that long-term PPI use may cause endocrine hormone disturbances leading to sexual difficulties in women.

Abstract
AIM Clostridium difficile infection is a cause of increased morbidity and mortality in hospitals, particularly in patients with cancer pathology. There are several factors favouring the development of Clostridium difficile infection among cancer patients, including age, exposure to antibiotic and proton pump inhibitors therapy, and chemotherapy. This study was conducted to observe the prevalence of Clostridium difficile infection after the reversal of ileostomy loop for rectal cancer surgery, which were initially operated either open or laparoscopic. METHOD A retrospective study was performed on patients who were operated in a single surgical team for rectal cancer who benefited of a diverted loop ileostomy over a 4-year period. Results: 23 patients were documented with Clostridium difficile infection out of a total of 63. All 23 patients underwent ileostomy closure later than 3 months after primary surgery, and postoperatively received antibiotic therapy associated with proton pump inhibitors in the first 24 hours. Conclusions: Closure of ileostomy later than 3 months after primary surgery, combined with chemotherapy, antibiotic therapy and proton pump inhibitors, increases the risk of developing Clostridium difficile infection.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions play an important role in various biological processes. Interaction among proteins has a wide range of applications. Therefore, the correct identification of protein-protein interactions sites is crucial. In this paper, we propose a novel predictor for protein-protein interactions sites, AGF-PPIS, where we utilize a multi-head self-attention mechanism (introducing a graph structure), graph convolutional network, and feed-forward neural network. We use the Euclidean distance between each protein residue to generate the corresponding protein graph as the input of AGF-PPIS. On the independent test dataset Test_60, AGF-PPIS achieves superior performance over comparative methods in terms of seven different evaluation metrics (ACC, precision, recall, F1-score, MCC, AUROC, AUPRC), which fully demonstrates the validity and superiority of the proposed AGF-PPIS model. The source codes and the steps for usage of AGF-PPIS are available at https://github.com/fxh1001/AGF-PPIS.

Abstract
Suspect screening and untargeted analysis using UHPLC-qToF are two advanced analytical approaches now used to achieve an extensive chemical profile of samples, which are then typically confirmed through targeted analysis. These techniques can detect a large number of chemical features simultaneously and are currently being introduced into the study of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) and into the study of the extent of human chemical exposure (the exposome). Here is described the use of these techniques to characterize chemical mixtures derived from the OECD 301F ready biodegradability test (RBT) of a chemical and natural formulation currently used to treat reflux disease and functional dyspepsia. Untargeted analysis clearly evidenced a different behavior between formulations containing only natural products with respect to that containing synthetic and non-naturally occurring substances. Suspect screening analysis improved the untargeted analysis of the omeprazole-based medicine, leading to the tentative identification of a number of omeprazole-derived transformation products, thereby enabling their preliminary quali-quantitative evaluation. Targeted analysis was then performed to confirm the preliminary data gained from the suspect screening approach. The validation of the analytical method for the quantitative determination of omeprazole and its major metabolite, omeprazole sulphide, has provided robust data to evaluate the behavior of omeprazole during the OECD 301F test. Using advanced analytical approaches, the RBT performed on the two products under investigation confirmed that omeprazole is not readily biodegradable, while the medical device made of natural substances has proven to be readily biodegradable.

Abstract
Accurately pinpointing protein-protein interaction site (PPIS) on the molecular level is of utmost significance for annotating protein function and comprehending the mechanisms underpinning various diseases. While numerous computational methods for predicting PPIS have emerged, they have indeed mitigated the labor and time constraints associated with traditional experimental methods. However, the predictive accuracy of these methods has yet to reach the desired threshold. In this context, we proposed a groundbreaking graph-based computational model called GHGPR-PPIS. This innovative model leveraged a graph convolutional network using heat kernel (GraphHeat) in conjunction with Generalized PageRank techniques (GHGPR) to predict PPIS. Additionally, building upon the GHGPR framework, we devised an edge self-attention feature processing block, further augmenting the performance of the model. Experimental findings conclusively demonstrated that GHGPR-PPIS surpassed all competing state-of-the-art models when evaluated on the benchmark test set. Impressively, on two distinct independent test sets and a specific protein chain, GHGPR-PPIS consistently demonstrated superior generalization performance and practical applicability compared to the comparative model, AGAT-PPIS. Lastly, leveraging the t-SNE dimensionality reduction algorithm and clustering visualization technique, we delved into an interpretability analysis of the effectiveness of GHGPR-PPIS by meticulously comparing the outputs from different stages of the model.

Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) pose a global health threat; however, there is still limited understanding of the risk factors and underlying mechanisms of CRE colonization in the gut microbiome. We conducted a matched case-control study involving 282 intensive care unit patients to analyze influencing covariates on CRE colonization. Subsequently, their effects on the gut microbiome were analyzed in a subset of 98 patients (47 CRE carriers and 51 non-CRE carriers) using whole metagenome sequences. The concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and antibiotics was a significant risk factor for CRE colonization. The gut microbiome differed according to PPI administration, even within the CRE and non-CRE groups. Moreover, the transfer of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) harboring carbapenem resistance genes (CRGs) between bacteria was higher in the PPI-treated group than in the PPI-not-treated group among CRE carriers. The concomitant use of PPIs and antibiotics significantly alters the gut microbiome and increases the risk of CRE colonization by facilitating the transfer of CRGs among bacteria of the gut microbiome. Based on these findings, improved stewardship of PPIs as well as antibiotics can provide strategies to reduce the risk of CRE colonization, thereby potentially improving patient prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent clinical trials have evaluated the efficacy of vonoprazan-amoxicillin (VA) dual therapy as the first-line treatment for Helicobacter pylori infection in different regions with inconsistent results reported. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of VA dual therapy compared to the currently recommended therapy for eradicating H. pylori. MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase databases was performed using the following search terms: ("Helicobacter" OR "H. pylori" OR "Hp") AND ("vonoprazan" OR "potassium-competitive acid blocker" OR "P-CAB") AND ("amoxicillin" OR "penicillin") AND ("dual"). The primary outcome was to evaluate the eradication rate according to intention-to-treat and per-protocol analysis. The secondary outcomes were adverse events and compliance. RESULTS A total of 15 studies involving 4, 568 patients were included. The pooled eradication rate of VA dual therapy was 85.0% and 90.0% by intention-to-treat and per-protocol analysis, respectively. The adverse events rate and compliance of VA dual therapy were 17.5% and 96%, respectively. The efficacy of VA dual therapy was superior to proton pump inhibitors-based triple therapy (82.0% vs. 71.4%, p < 0.01) but lower than vonoprazan-containing quadruple therapy (83.1% vs. 93.3%, p = 0.02). 7-day VA dual therapy showed lower eradication rates than 10-day (χ2 = 24.09, p < 0.01) and 14-day VA dual therapy (χ2 = 11.87, p < 0.01). The adverse events rate of VA dual therapy was lower than vonoprazan triple therapy (24.6% vs. 30.9%, p = 0.01) and bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (20.5% vs. 47.9%, p < 0.01). No significant difference of compliance was observed between VA dual therapy and each subgroup. CONCLUSION VA dual therapy, a novel regimen, showed high efficacy as the first-line treatment for H. pylori eradication, which should be optimized before application in different regions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Over the last few decades, reflux diseases, such as laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), have been identified as significant contributors to inflammatory upper aerodigestive tract diseases. Establishing a direct relationship between reflux disease and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is challenging due to the high prevalence of both diseases and their potential for independent coexistence. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to review the existing literature and evaluate the evidence of an association between reflux diseases and CRS. METHODS A comprehensive electronic search was conducted across multiple databases to identify all studies that investigated the relationship between LPR, GERD, and CRS from January 1, 1950, to June 16, 2022. Only studies with English manuscripts involving adult populations were included, while case series, case reports, and in vitro studies were excluded. The risk of bias was evaluated using The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for case-control studies and the NIH quality assessment tool for observational cohort and cross-sectional studies. RESULTS The search strategy yielded a total of 427 articles, out of which 25 studies examined the correlation between reflux diseases and CRS. The meta-analysis indicated a significant association between the presence of GERD and CRS compared to control groups (P < .001; CI 3.56 [2.25, 5.65]), as well as significantly higher pH values and pepsin detection in CRS patients when compared to healthy individuals (P = .003). Furthermore, all studies that evaluated proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy in CRS patients reported positive outcomes, with 93% of CRS patients showing improvement on PPIs. CONCLUSION The existing literature provides suggestive evidence of an association between reflux diseases and CRS, with regards to both prevalence and treatment. Nonetheless, further studies are required to confirm this relationship.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In Chile, more than 70% of adults are infected by Helicobacter pylori. Clarithromycin should not be used in any regimen if there is >15% resistance to this antibiotic, being greater than 26% in our population. In this scenario, the effectiveness of triple therapy (proton pump inhibitor [PPI], clarithromycin, amoxicillin) was only 63.8%. AIM To evaluate the eradication rate and safety of dual therapy (esomeprazole and amoxicillin) in high doses, through a prospective, observational, and descriptive study. METHODS Patients with a positive urease test obtained in an upper digestive endoscopy were included. Any other previous H. pylori eradication regimen were excluded. All patients were treated with esomeprazole 40 mg three times a day and amoxicillin 750 mg four times a day for 14 days. The eradication rate of the dual therapy was evaluated with the H. pylori stool antigen test (the Pylori-Strip® test used) 6 weeks after completing the eradication treatment and with at least 14 days without PPI, being a negative result, confirmation of the effectiveness of this regimen. RESULTS Of 122 patients, 106 had a negative H. pylori antigen in stool; The intention-to-treat and per protocol analysis, the eradication rates were 91.8% [95% CI: 87%-97%] and 94% [95% CI: 90%-98%], respectively. Four patients discontinued treatment due to adverse effects. Smoking and adherence to treatment were associated with eradication rate. CONCLUSIONS In this cohort of patients with H. pylori infection, high-dose dual therapy has a high eradication rate and good adherence, raising the possibility that it could be used as first-line therapy in our country. Studies with a larger number of patients should confirm these results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With Helicobacter pylori's increasing antibiotic resistance, evidence of more effective treatments is lacking in China, where H. pylori prevalence is nearly 50%. Thus, we performed a network meta-analysis to compare therapeutic regimens. METHODS Data extracted from eligible randomized controlled trials from January 2000 to September 2021 were entered into a Bayesian hierarchical random-effects model to evaluate the efficacy and safety of H. pylori eradication regimens. RESULTS This study included 101 trials involving 21,745 patients. Vonoprazan-bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (VBQT) ranked the highest [surfaces under cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA), 83.64%], followed by high-dose amoxicillin dual therapy (HDDT) [SUCRA, 79.70%, odds ratio (OR)=1.31, 95% credible interval (CrI) (0.36, 4.72)] and proton pump inhibitor-based bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (BQT) [SUCRA, 63.59%, OR=1.59, 95% CrI (0.48, 5.24)]. HDDT [OR=2.47, 95% CrI (1.51, 4.06)], BQT [OR=2.04, 95% CrI (1.69, 2.47)], concomitant quadruple nonbismuth therapy (CT) [OR=1.93, 95% CrI (1.19, 3.15)], and sequential therapy (ST) [OR=1.86, 95% CrI (1.50, 2.32)] had higher eradication rates than standard triple therapy (TT). ST (SUCRA, 82.52%) and VBQT (SUCRA, 83.89%) had the highest eradication rate before and after 2010 in the effectiveness ranking, respectively. Furthermore, the H. pylori eradication rate of patients receiving 14-day BQT treatment was higher than that of 10-day BQT regimen [OR=2.55, 95% CI (1.84, 3.53)] and 7-day BQT regimen [OR=3.64, 95% CI (2.64, 5.01)]. CONCLUSIONS The TT regimen was not an optimal choice in China for H. pylori eradication; VBQT, HDDT, and BQT showed better efficacy. After 2010, there is a trend toward significance that VBQT provided a higher H. pylori eradication rate in China, but with only 1 randomized controlled trial. Thus, more supportive real-world data are needed to confirm its effectiveness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a link between Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) with nonspecific digestive symptoms. Nonetheless, whether HP infection is associated with SIBO in adults remains unclear. Based on a meta-analysis, we evaluated this relationship. RESULTS Observational studies relevant to our research were identified by searching PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and the Web of Science. We evaluated between-study heterogeneity using the Cochrane Q test and estimated the I2 statistic. Random-effects models were used when significant heterogeneity was observed; otherwise, fixed-effects models were used. Ten datasets from eight studies, including 874 patients, were involved in the meta-analysis. It was shown that HP infection was related to a higher odds of SIBO (odds ratio [OR]: 1.82, 95% confidence interval: 1.29 to 2.58, p < 0.001) with mild heterogeneity (p for Cochrane Q test = 0.11, I2 = 7%). Subgroup analyses showed that HP infection was related to SIBO in young patients (mean age < 48 years, OR: 2.68, 95% CI: 1.67 to 4.28, p < 0.001; I2 = 15%) but not in older patients (mean age ≥ 48 years, OR: 1.15, 95% CI: 0.69 to 1.92, p < 0.60; I2 = 1%; p for subgroup difference = 0.02). Subgroup analyses further indicated that the association was not significantly affected by the country of study, comorbidities, exposure to proton pump inhibitors, or methods of evaluating HP infection and SIBO. CONCLUSIONS HP infection may be related to SIBO in adults, which supports the detection of SIBO in patients with digestive symptoms and HP infection.

Abstract
Rabeprazole is a common type of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat various peptic disorders. Unlike most PPI drugs, rabeprazole is spontaneously reduced to rabeprazole sulfide (thioether) when it is given to patients. As a result, rabeprazole sulfide is considered one of the active metabolites of rabeprazole. Rabeprazole sulfide is mainly metabolized to desmethyl rabeprazole sulfide by CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 in people. However, the pharmacological efficacy and safety of desmethyl rabeprazole sulfide have not yet been investigated. Its usage is challenging due to the high cost associated with the drug. In this study, we found CYP102A1 mutants that can produce desmethyl rabeprazole sulfide as a major metabolite of rabeprazole sulfide. The chemical characteristics of the major product were confirmed using high-performance liquid chromatography, LC-mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. CYP102A1 mutants R47L/F87V/L188Q, R47L/F87V/L188Q/A335V/Q359R, and R47L/F87V/L188Q/I254V/D351E showed kcat values of 39, 93, and 88 min-1, respectively, for O-desmethylation of rabeprazole sulfide. Furthermore, the highest concentration of desmethyl rabeprazole sulfide product from 2 mM rabeprazole sulfide at optimal conditions was obtained in bacterial whole-cell biotransformation with the R47L/F87V/L188Q mutant, reaching 0.63 mM at 4-h incubation. In conclusion, we present a platform that facilitates the efficient and sustainable production of the desmethylated product from rabeprazole sulfide for use in the biopharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) is the most common standard technique worldwidely for Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Another type of fundoplication, laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication (LTF), intends to reduce incidence of postoperative complications. A systematic review and meta-analysis are required on short- and long-term outcomes based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) between LNF and LTF. METHODS We searched databases including PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Knowledge for RCTs comparing LNF and LTF. Outcomes included postoperative reflux recurrence, postoperative heartburn, dysphagia and postoperative chest pain, inability to belch, gas bloating, satisfaction with intervention, postoperative esophagitis, postoperative DeMeester scores, operating time (min), in-hospital complications, postoperative use of proton pump inhibitors, reoperation rate, postoperative lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) pressure (mmHg). We assessed data using risk ratios and weighted mean differences in meta-analyses. RESULTS Eight eligible RCTs comparing LNF (n = 605) and LTF (n = 607) were identified. There were no significant differences between the LNF and LTF in terms of postoperative reflux recurrence, postoperative heartburn, postoperative chest pain, satisfaction with intervention, reoperation rate in short and long term, in-hospital complications, esophagitis in short term, and gas bloating, postoperative DeMeester scores, postoperative use of proton pump inhibitors, reoperation rate in long term. LTF had lower LOS pressure (mmHg), fewer postoperative dysphagia and inability to belch in short and long term and gas bloating in short term compared to LNF. CONCLUSION LTF were equally effective at controlling reflux symptoms and improving the quality of life, but with lower rate of complications compared to LNF. We concluded that LTF surgical treatment was superior for over 16 years old patients with typical symptoms of GERD and without upper abdominal surgical history upon high-level evidence of evidence-based medicine.

Abstract
In patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 syndrome (MEN 1) and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES), gastrinomas arise from the duodenum, about 60% are multiple, and about 15% of patients have coexisting pancreatic gastrinomas, which can be localized by the selective arterial secretagogue injection test (SASI test). The guidelines (GLs) by the Japanese Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (JNETS) recommend surgical resection for functioning duodenopancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), including gastrinomas, in patients with MEN1 (Grade A, 100% agreement among members). Conversely, the GLs of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) in the USA recommend observation and treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or exploratory surgery for occult gastrinomas. An international Consensus Statement (ICS) from the European Union (EU) also does not recommend resection of gastrinomas in patients with MEN1, despite some surgeons having reported surgery being curative for gastrinomas in MEN1 patients. In this review, we discuss the serious side effects and tumorigenic effects of the prolonged use of PPIs and the safety and curability of surgery, supported by our results of curative surgery for gastrinomas in 20 patients with MEN1 over 30 years. We conclude that surgery should be the first-line treatment for gastrinomas in MEN1 patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical pharmacists have a pivotal role in the management of the patient's medication. However, it is necessary to know how pharmacist-mediated deprescribing could be implemented in a hospital setting according to hospital physicians. OBJECTIVE To explore physicians' views on the involvement of hospital pharmacists in the deprescribing process using the example of PPIs. METHODS A qualitative study using two focus groups with hospital physicians was conducted to determine their attitudes regarding deprescribing initiated by the hospital pharmacist. The interviews were recorded and transcribed using the NVivo analysis software. A thematic analysis led to a categorization of all the verbatims. RESULTS Hospital doctors are reluctant to deprescribe drugs initiated by a colleague and feel that it is the responsibility of the general practitioner (GP), who fails to do so due to lack of time. In this situation, the hospital pharmacist is in the best position to deprescribe because of his/her expertise in drug therapy. This should be a discussion between the hospital pharmacist, the hospital doctor, the GP and the patient. Deprescribing should always be adapted to the patient's context. CONCLUSION Hospital physicians are open to a pharmacist-mediated, patient-centred approach to deprescribing as long as the GP is involved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reflux hypersensitivity (RH) is characterized by normal esophageal exposure to acid and positive correlation of symptoms to reflux episodes. Positivity of Symptomatic Index (SI) and/or Symptom Association Probability (SAP) is used diagnostically, though experts support that concordance of both is needed. We evaluated differences among patients with RH and concordance of SI/SAP or not. METHODS Patients with typical reflux symptoms without previous GERD diagnosis, submitted simultaneously to Ph-Impedance off PPI and high resolution manometry were included. Self-response to PPI was evaluated. Patients showing SI and/or SAP positivity were considered having RH and further classified to definite RH if both SI/SAP were positive or indefinite if only one positive. KEY RESULTS Totally 2659 patients (M/F: 35.6%/64.7%, mean age: 45 ± 14) were included. Final diagnosis was; FH: 21.8%, RH: 29.3% (definite: 14.3%/indefinite: 15%), GERD: 36% and inconclusive GERD: 12.9%. Patients with definite RH showed increased total reflux time, total number of reflux episodes and length of hiatus hernia, and also numerically but not statistically significant increased rates of PPI responsiveness versus indefinite RH and decreased mean nocturnal baseline impedance. Moreover, they showed significantly increased rate of PPI response versus patients with functional heartburn (FH). CONCLUSION & INFERENCES Some PPI responsiveness is frequent among patients with RH as also with FH, and cannot discriminate those entities clinically when diagnosing RH using SI and/or SAP positive criterion. Patients with RH and SI/SAP concordance differ from patients without. Implementation of a strict RH definition (both SI and SAP positive) can better distinguish RH from FH and should be used in the future.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the impact of antithrombotic agents and proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) on fecal immunochemical test (FIT). PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Central, and Google Scholar were searched from inception until September 3, 2023. Studies comparing the diagnostic performance of FIT between medicine users and non-users in average-risk colorectal cancer screening populations were included. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive values (PPVs) for advanced neoplasia (AN) of FIT were compared by reporting pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using a random-effects model. Twenty-two studies enrolling 5,572,367 individuals were included. For aspirin, pooled sensitivity and specificity for AN were 57.2% and 88.4% in users versus 60.2% and 93.2% in non-users; while pooled ORs were 1.49 (95% CI 0.89-2.48, P = 0.13) and 0.72 (95% CI 0.62-0.83, P < 0.001), respectively. In subgroup analysis, there was no difference in sensitivity and specificity between the two groups at the cutoff of 20 μg Hb/g (P = 0.57 and 0.29, respectively) but a significantly lower specificity in users compared with non-users at lower cutoffs (P < 0.001). Moreover, a significantly lower PPVAN in users compared with non-users was observed after matching age and sex confounders (P = 0.001). Warfarin had no significant influence on PPVAN of FIT (P = 0.43). PPIs were associated with a significantly lower PPVAN in users (P < 0.001). Aspirin use was associated with lower specificity and PPV of FIT. Aspirin discontinuation before FIT to reduce false-positive results should be interpreted with caution given concerns about cardiovascular events. Increasing cutoff values of FIT in aspirin users may be another possible approach. Additionally, warfarin withdrawal before FIT is unnecessary but PPIs withdrawal before FIT is recommended to reduce false-positive results.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a highly prevalent gastrointestinal disorder that causes diverse esophageal and extraesophageal symptoms. Many clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have been issued around the world to provide practical evidence regarding GERD management. However, some of the recommendations discussed in various CPGs are inconsistent across individual documents. OBJECTIVES We aimed to summarize the evidence from CPGs on GERD and assess the consistency of the recommendations. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this scoping review, we identified current CPGs on the clinical management of GERD, which were comprehensively searched for in electronic databases and on relevant scientific websites. The recommendations were extracted using the population‑intervention‑comparison framework and were subsequently categorized into tables. RESULTS Ultimately, 24 CPGs were identified. They included 86 recommendations, which were classified into 5 categories: definition, epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and complications. Among the identified recommendations, 68 were proposed in at least 2 CPGs, and they were assessed for the consistency of direction and strength. Overall, 32.4% of the recommendations (22/68) were consistent in direction and strength, whereas 60.3% (41/68) were consistent in direction but inconsistent in strength. Moreover, 7.4% (5/68) were inconsistent in direction. These referred to the relationship between GERD and tobacco consumption, Helicobacter pylori infection, diagnostic utility of the 2‑week proton pump inhibitor test, cessation of special food, and antireflux surgery for GERD with extraesophageal symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Most CPG recommendations regarding GERD were consistent in direction, except for 5 discrepancies, for which further well‑designed, large‑scale research is required to explain the inconsistency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Concomitant medications may potentially affect the outcome of cancer patients. In this sub-analysis of the ARON-2 real-world study (NCT05290038), we aimed to assess the impact of concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI), statins, or metformin on outcome of patients with metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) receiving second-line pembrolizumab. METHODS We collected data from the hospital medical records of patients with mUC treated with pembrolizumab as second-line therapy at 87 institutions from 22 countries. Patients were assessed for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall response rate. We carried out a survival analysis by a Cox regression model. RESULTS A total of 802 patients were eligible for this retrospective study; the median follow-up time was 15.3 months. PPI users compared to non-users showed inferior PFS (4.5 vs. 7.2 months, p = 0.002) and OS (8.7 vs. 14.1 months, p < 0.001). Concomitant PPI use remained a significant predictor of PFS and OS after multivariate Cox analysis. The use of statins or metformin was not associated with response or survival. CONCLUSIONS Our study results suggest a significant prognostic impact of concomitant PPI use in mUC patients receiving pembrolizumab in the real-world context. The mechanism of this interaction warrants further elucidation.

Abstract
Changes in the organization of the clinical care wards, requested by the SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) pandemic, have influenced the environmental circulation of other pathogens. The implementation of prevention procedures may have led to a decrease in the incidence of healthcare-associated infections. We aimed to investigate the impact of prevention and control measures for preventing the COVID-19 spread on the incidence of bacterial sepsis and invasive fungal infections in neonates and infants requiring major surgery. We compared the incidence of bacterial and fungal sepsis and their risk factors observed before the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (from 01/10/2018 to 29/02/2020) with those observed during the pandemic (from 01/03/2020 to 07/05/2021) in 13 level III Neonatal Intensive Care Units in Italy, through a secondary analysis of data, collected during a prospective multicenter study (REF). The patients enrolled were infants within three months of life, hospitalized in the two periods in the participating centers to undergo major surgery. Among 541 enrolled patients, 324 (59.9%) were born in the pre-pandemic period and 217 (40.1%) during the pandemic. The incidence density (ID) of any infection in the pre-pandemic period was 16.0/1000 patient days versus 13.6/1000 patient days in the pandemic period (p < 0.001). One hundred and forty-five (145/324; 44.8%) patients developed at least one episode of bacterial sepsis in the pre-pandemic period, versus 103/217 (31.8%) patients, during the pandemic (p = 0.539). Concerning fungal sepsis, 12 (3.7%) patients had one episode in the pre-pandemic period versus 11 (5.1%) patients during the pandemic (p = 0.516). The most significant differences observed in the use of healthcare procedures were the reduction of CVC days, the reduced use of antibiotics pre-surgery, and that of proton pump inhibitors during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic compared with the previous period. CONCLUSIONS In our cohort of patients with major surgical needs, the reduction of CVC days, pre-surgery antibiotics administration, and current use of proton pump inhibitors, during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, led to a decrease in the incidence of late-onset sepsis. WHAT IS KNOWN • Most cases of late-onset sepsis in neonates are referred to as central line-associated bloodstream infections. • In adults, the COVID-19 outbreak negatively influenced healthcare-associated infection rates and infection clusters within hospitals. WHAT IS NEW • In neonates and infants undergoing major surgery the incidence density of infections was lower in the pandemic period than before. • The most significant differences observed in the use of healthcare procedures were the reduction of CVC days, the reduced use of antibiotics before surgery, and that of proton pump inhibitors during the pandemic compared with previously.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The recommended schedule for single capsule bismuth quadruple therapy (scBQT, Pylera) includes a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) two times a day and three scBQT capsules four times a day. Four times a day treatments are inconvenient and reduce adherence. In contrast, adherence improves with three times a day schedules. In clinical practice, many gastroenterologists use four capsule scBQT three times a day. However, the effectiveness and safety of this latter approach remain uncertain. AIM To assess the effectiveness and safety of scBQT administered three times a day in the patients included in the European Registry on Helicobacter pylori Management (Hp-EuReg). METHODS All Spanish adult patients registered in the Asociación Española de Gastroenterología Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) database from June 2013 to March 2021 receiving 10-day scBQT were analysed. Modified intention-to-treat effectiveness, adherence and the safety of scBQT given three times a day were calculated and compared with the four times a day schedule. A multivariate analysis was performed to determine independent factors predicting cure of the infection. RESULTS Of the 3712 cases, 2516 (68%) were four times a day and 1196 (32%) three times a day. Mean age was 51 years, 63% were women and 15% had a peptic ulcer. The three times a day schedule showed significantly better overall cure rates than four times a day (1047/1112, 94%; 95% CI 92.7 to 95.6 vs 2207/2423, 91%; 95% CI 89.9 to 92.2, respectively, p=0.002). Adherence and safety data were similar for both regimens. In the multivariate analysis, three times a day dosage, first-line therapy, use of standard or high-dose PPIs and adherence over 90% were significantly associated with cure of the infection. CONCLUSIONS ScBQT prescribed three times a day was more effective than the traditional four times a day schedule. No differences were observed in treatment adherence or safety.

Abstract
Background Vonoprazan-amoxicillin (VA) dual therapy has recently been proposed to eradicate Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) with controversial results. We, therefore, conducted a meta-analysis to assess the effect of this therapy for H. pylori eradication. Methods We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science database from inception until November 2022, collecting randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing VA dual therapy with other regimens for H. pylori eradication. Pooled relative risks (RRs) were calculated using random effects model. Results Five RCTs were ultimately included. Compared with the vonoprazan-amoxicillin-clarithromycin (VAC) triple therapy, the eradication rate of VA dual therapy was lower in intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis (n = 3 RCTs, RR = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.88-0.99, P = 0.03), but there was no significant difference between them in the per-protocol (PP) analysis (RR = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.91-1.01, P = 0.11). For clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori strains, the eradication rate of VA dual therapy was significantly higher than that of the VAC triple therapy (n = 2 RCTs, RR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.03-1.39, P = 0.02). Compared with the PPI-based triple therapy (PAC), VA dual therapy had a superior eradication rate (n = 2 RCTs, ITT analysis: RR = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.04-1.23, P = 0.003; PP analysis: pooled RR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.06-1.22, P = 0.0004). Compared with VAC or PAC triple therapy, VA dual therapy has a similar incidence of total adverse events and compliance. Conclusions VA dual therapy had a similar effect compared to VAC triple therapy and was superior to PAC triple therapy. Future RCTs are needed to ascertain the optimal dosage and duration of vonoprazan and amoxicillin, and the effect of VA dual therapy compared with the mainstream regimens recommended by current guidelines.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly prescribed medications. The existing data suggest that individuals at a high risk of fractures have been exposed to high doses of PPIs for prolonged durations. CYP2C19 plays a pivotal role in metabolism of PPIs and thereby influences their pharmacokinetic profile. Hence, we hypothesize that CYP2C19 genotypes may be associated with fragility fracture among PPIs users due to PPI exposure. This study aimed to investigate the association between CYP2C19 genotypes, bone mineral density (BMD), and osteoporotic fracture in a hospital-based population. This retrospective cohort study enrolled patients who were prescribed long-term PPIs at Taichung Veterans General Hospital using data extracted from the Taiwan Precision Medicine Initiative between January 2010 and April 2021. Associations between CYP2C19 phenotypes, comorbidities, and fractures in PPI users were analyzed. We enrolled 1518 long-term PPI users; 571 (38%), 727 (48%), and 220 (14%) CYP2C19 normal metabolizers (NMs), intermediate metabolizers (IMs), and poor metabolizers (PMs), respectively. Among them, 49 (3.2%) patients developed fractures within the 1-year follow-up period; 20 (3.5%) fractures in NMs, 24 (3.3%) in IMs, and 5 (2.3%) in PMs, respectively. No significant difference was observed among CYP2C19 genotypes and fracture. Additionally, BMD measurements during the 1-year follow-up period were made available among 75 participants. No significant difference in BMD between CYP2C19 PMs and non-PMs was found. This real-world, hospital-based study concludes that CYP2C19 PMs/IMs are not associated with an increased risk for fractures or reduced BMD in individuals on long-term PPI therapy.

Abstract
The eradication rates for Helicobacter pylori globally are decreasing with a dramatic increase in the prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria all over the world, including Saudi Arabia. There is no current consensus on the management of H. pylori in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Gastroenterology Association developed these practice guidelines after reviewing the local and regional studies on the management of H. pylori. The aim was to establish recommendations to guide healthcare providers in managing H. pylori in Saudi Arabia. Experts in the areas of H. pylori management and microbiology were invited to write these guidelines. A literature search was performed, and all authors participated in writing and reviewing the guidelines. In addition, international guidelines and consensus reports were reviewed to bridge the gap in knowledge when local and regional data were unavailable. There is limited local data on treatment of H. pylori. The rate of clarithromycin and metronidazole resistance is high; therefore, standard triple therapy for 10-14 days is no longer recommended in the treatment of H. pylori unless antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed. Based on the available data, bismuth quadruple therapy for 10-14 days is considered the best first-line and second-line therapy. Culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing should be considered following two treatment failures. These recommendations are intended to provide the most relevant evidence-based guidelines for the management of H. pylori infection in Saudi Arabia. The working group recommends further studies to explore more therapeutic options to eradicate H. pylori.

Abstract
Gastric acid secretion inhibitors such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and vonoprazan may change the duration of treatment with bevacizumab, a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor, for cancer. However, there are no data on this prolongation effect. Here, we aimed to determine whether the use of PPIs or vonoprazan in patients with cancer receiving bevacizumab affected the duration of bevacizumab treatment. This observational study was conducted at two national university hospitals in Japan and involved 222 patients using oral PPIs (N = 190) or vonoprazan (N = 32) at the start of bevacizumab treatment between January 2015 and December 2018. Patients who received only one course of bevacizumab were excluded. The primary endpoint was the duration of bevacizumab treatment. The duration of bevacizumab treatment varied significantly between the PPI and vonoprazan groups. For cancer types other than colorectal cancer (breast, lung, brain, and ovarian cancers), the median duration of treatment was 217 days (p < 0.05) and was longer in the vonoprazan group than in the PPI group. However, for colorectal cancer, the median duration of bevacizumab treatment was 147 days longer in the PPI group than in the vonoprazan group. Selection of appropriate gastric acid secretion inhibitors may improve the therapeutic efficacy of anti-VEGF drugs, including bevacizumab. Oestrogen is a key regulator of this effect and may be responsible for the varying association between PPI or vonoprazan administration and the difference in bevacizumab treatment duration between colon cancer and other cancer types.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a popular surgical weight-loss procedure, but there are increasing reports of revisional Roux-Y-gastric-bypass (R-RYGB) to manage weight-loss failure (WLF) or proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after SG, with little data available in these settings. METHODS This retrospective study included all consecutive patients undergoing R-RYGB for WLF or RGERD after SG in two bariatric care centers from 2012 to 2018. RESULTS Of 720 patients, 46 (3.6%) underwent R-RYGB (RGERD, n = 25; 54.4%; WLF, n = 21; 45.6%) within 44.8 ± 27.5 months post-SG. SG had enabled 27% ± 11.6 total weight loss (TWL) in the RGERD group vs. 7.2% ± 12.5% TWL in the WLF group (p < 0.001). At R-RYGB, WLF-group patients had a higher BMI (47.8 ± 8.4 vs. 34.7 ± 6.1 kg/m2; p < 0.001) and a higher number of comorbidities (2.4 ± 1.5 vs 1.5 ± 1.2; p < 0.02) compared to RGERD-group patients, while severe morbidity (Clavien-Dindo ≥ IIIb) was not significantly different between groups (6.5% vs 2.1%, p = 0.6). %TWL was still higher in the RGERD group at 12 months post-R-RYGB (35.6% ± 10.4 vs. 23.8% ± 9.2; p < 0.01) but not after 24 months post-R-RYGB. R-RYGB corrected reflux symptoms in 32 (94%) patients and reduced PPI use in 29 (97%) patients (p < 0.001), with no significant between-group difference. A history of adjustable gastric banding (AGB) (N = 8;17.4%) prior to SG was associated with a similar prevalence of GERD at R-RYGB and a lower %TWL (AGB:13.1 ± 10.2 vs. No AGB:31.6 ± 8.5; p < 0.05) at 3 years post-R-RYGB. CONCLUSION R-RYGB following SG provides remission of reflux symptoms in 94% of patients and extra weight loss in patients with WLF, except in patients with a history of AGB prior to SG.

Abstract
Background/Aims Tegoprazan, a new, fast, and strong potassium-competitive acid blocker, has been approved for the treatment of gastric acid-related diseases in Korea. However, real-world clinical data regarding this drug are scarce. We aimed to compare the Helicobacter pylori eradication rates of tegoprazan- and rabeprazole-based triple therapy. Methods We retrospectively reviewed data from patients who received first-line treatment for H. pylori infection using tegoprazan- or rabeprazole-based triple therapy for 2 weeks (50 mg tegoprazan or 20 mg rabeprazole+1,000 mg amoxicillin+500 mg clarithromycin twice daily). The primary endpoint was the eradication rate as determined by intention-to-treat analysis. Results Of the 677 patients included in our study, 344 and 333 received tegoprazan-based and rabeprazole-based triple therapy, respectively. The eradication rate from intention-to-treat analysis was 76.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 72.1% to 81.0%) for tegoprazan-based triple therapy and 75.4% (95% CI, 70.5% to 79.8%) for rabeprazole-based triple therapy. There was no significant difference in the eradication rates between the two groups (p>0.999). Per-protocol analysis also revealed no significant difference between the eradication rates of the two groups (tegoprazan 83.4% [95% CI, 79.0% to 87.2%] vs rabeprazole 83.5% [79.0% to 87.4%], p>0.999). Furthermore, there was no significant difference in adverse event rates between the two groups (tegoprazan, 27.6%; rabeprazole, 25.8%; p=0.604). Conclusions The eradication rate of tegoprazan-based triple therapy was similar to that of rabeprazole-based triple therapy. Further studies on the dose-escalation effect of tegoprazan for H. pylori eradication and the efficacy of tegoprazan in regimens other than conventional triple therapy are needed.

Abstract
As the rate of discovery of drug-resistant Helicobacter pylori cases increases worldwide, the relevant societies have updated their guidelines for primary eradication regimens. A promising strategy against drug-resistant H. pylori is tailored therapy based on the results of an antibiotic susceptibility test; however, it is difficult to apply this strategy to all cases. Although culture-based antibiotic susceptibility tests can assess resistance to any antimicrobial agent, their greatest disadvantage is the time required to draw a conclusion. In contrast, molecular-based methods, such as polymerase chain reaction, can rapidly determine the presence of resistance, although a single test can only test for one type of antimicrobial agent. Additionally, the limited availability of facilities for molecular-based methods has hindered their widespread use. Therefore, low-cost, minimally invasive, simple, and effective primary regimens are needed. Several studies have compared the efficacy of the latest primary eradication regimens against that of tailored therapies, and their results have shaped guidelines. This article reviews the latest research on empirical and tailored treatments for H. pylori infections. Evidence for the superiority of tailored therapy over empirical therapy is still limited and varies by region and treatment regimen. A network meta-analysis comparing different empirical treatment regimens showed that vonoprazan triple therapy provides a superior eradication effect. Recently, favorable results towards vonoprazan dual therapy have been reported, as it reached eradication levels similar to those of vonoprazan triple therapy. Both vonoprazan dual therapy and tailored therapy based on antibiotic susceptibility tests could contribute to future treatment strategies.

Abstract
Solid dispersion (SD) technology is one of the most widely preferred solubility enhancement methods, especially for Biopharmaceutics classification system class II and IV drugs. Since the last decade, its application for the dual purpose of solubility hike and modified release using novel carriers has been in demand for its added advantages. Spray drying is a commercially accepted technique with high aspects of scalability and product characteristics. The current study used spray-dried dispersion to design delayed release capsule for the proton pump inhibitor esomeprazole. The SD carrier hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate-medium grade (HPMCAS-MF) enhanced solubility, inhibited precipitation of saturated drug solutions, and allowed enteric release owing to its solubility above pH 6. The proposed approach avoided compression, coating with enteric polymers, and the development of multi-particulate pellet-based formulations, improving manufacturing feasibility. The formulation was optimized using Box-Behnken design, considering significant formulation variables like HPMCAS-MF proportion and critical process parameters like feed flow rate and inlet temperature. The optimized spray-dried dispersion were characterized based on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and also evaluated for solubility, in vitro drug release, residual solvent content, and stability testing. Response surface methodology optimization anticipated that formulation variables affected solubility and release profile, whereas CPPs affected yield. The design space was developed via overlay plot based on constraints specified to attain the desired response and validated using three checkpoint batches with desirability 1. FTIR showed active pharmaceutical ingredient-polymer compatibility. Particle size and SEM studies showed spherical particles with an average Z-value of 1.8 µ. DSC and PXRD confirmed SD's amorphous nature. The drug release investigation and release kinetics prediction utilizing DD-solver software showed a 2-h lag time with > 90% cumulative drug release up to 4 h for the DR formulation. ESM SDD were prepared by spray drying technique using the novel solid dispersion carrier HPMCAS-MF to serve the dual purpose of solubility enhancement and delayed release. The ratio of API:carrier and process variables like feed flow rate and inlet temperature were varied using the Box-Behnken Design to determine the design space of optimized product to procure the desired characteristics of solubility improvement compared to crystalline API and delayed release of PPI to avoid the degradation in the gastric environment. The developed formulation represents several benefits over the already existing marketed products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Using hydrogen breath testing (HBT) to diagnose small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) remains controversial in patients with functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, and unknown in those with hypermobility Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS). We assessed prevalence of positive HBTs in these groups, evaluated the predictive value of GI symptoms and the potential role of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on test results. METHODS Sequential patients referred for HBT to a tertiary unit were classified into the following groups: GI maldigestion/malabsorption, GI sensorimotor disorders, hEDS, and functional GI disorders. All underwent standardized HBT, and the yield was assessed against symptoms and PPI use. KEY RESULTS A total of 1062 HBTs were performed over 3 years (70% female, mean age 48 ± 16 years). Overall, 7.5% (80/1062) patients had a positive HBT. Prevalence of positive HBT was highest in patients with GI maldigestion/malabsorption (17.9%; DOR 16.16, p < 0.001), GI sensorimotor disorders (15.9%; DOR 8.84, p < 0.001), compared to functional GI disorders (1.6%; DOR 1.0) (p < 0.0001). None of the hEDS patients tested positive for HBT. A positive HBT was independently associated with increased age (DOR 1.03; p < 0.001) and symptoms of diarrhea (DOR 3.95; p < 0.0001). Patients on PPIs tended towards a positive HBT than patients off PPIs (16.1% vs 6.9%; DOR 2.47; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Less than 2% of patients with functional GI disorders, and none of the patients with hEDS had a positive HBT. Pre-test probability was higher in patients with: GI structural or neurological disorders; use of long-term PPIs and symptoms of diarrhea. These criteria may be helpful in making appropriate therapeutic decisions and avoiding unnecessary hydrogen breath testing.

Abstract
To localize ectopic gastric mucosa in patients with unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding and diagnose a Meckel diverticulum, 99mTc-pertechnetate imaging is the standard procedure. H2 inhibitor pretreatment enhances the sensitivity of the scan by reducing washout of 99mTc activity from the intestinal lumen. We aim to provide evidence of the effectiveness of the proton pump inhibitor esomeprazole as an ideal substitute for ranitidine. Methods: The scan quality for 142 patients who underwent a Meckel scan during a period of 10 y was evaluated. The patients were pretreated with ranitidine orally or intravenously before a switch to a proton pump inhibitor after ranitidine was no longer available. Good scan quality was characterized by the absence of 99mTc-pertechnetate activity in the gastrointestinal lumen. The effectiveness of esomeprazole to diminish 99mTc-pertechnetate release was compared with the standard treatment using ranitidine. Results: Pretreatment with intravenous esomeprazole resulted in 48% of scans with no 99mTc-pertechnetate release, 17% with release either in the intestine or in the duodenum, and 35% with 99mTc-pertechnetate activity both in the intestine and in the duodenum. Evaluation of scans obtained after oral ranitidine and intravenous ranitidine showed absence of activity in both intestine and duodenum in 16% and 23% of the cases, respectively. The indicated time to administer esomeprazole before starting the scan procedure was 30 min, but a delay of 15 min did not negatively influence the scan quality. Conclusion: This study confirms that esomeprazole, 40 mg, when administered intravenously 30 min before a Meckel scan, enhances the scan quality comparably to ranitidine. This procedure can be incorporated into protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent research indicates that use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) is associated with pneumonia, but existing evidence is inconclusive because of methodological issues. This study aimed to answer whether PPI-use increases risk of pneumonia while taking the methodological concerns of previous research into account. METHODS This population-based and nationwide Swedish study conducted in 2005-2019 used a self-controlled case series design. Data came from national registries for medications, diagnoses, and mortality. Conditional fixed-effect Poisson regression provided incidence rate ratios (IRR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for pneumonia comparing PPI-exposed periods with unexposed periods in the same individuals, thus controlling for confounding. Analyses were stratified by PPI-treatment duration, sex, age, and smoking-related diseases. Use of histamine type-2 receptor antagonists (used for the same indications as PPIs) and risk of pneumonia was analysed for assessing the validity and specificity of the results for PPI-therapy and pneumonia. RESULTS Among 519,152 patients with at least one pneumonia episode during the study period, 307,709 periods of PPI-treatment occurred. PPI-use was followed by an overall 73% increased risk of pneumonia (IRR 1.73, 95% CI 1.71-1.75). The IRRs were increased across strata of PPI-treatment duration, sex, age, and smoking-related disease status. No such strong association was found between histamine type-2 receptor antagonist use and risk of pneumonia (IRR 1.08, 95% CI 1.02-1.14). CONCLUSIONS PPI-use seems to be associated with an increased risk of pneumonia. This finding highlights a need for caution in using PPIs in individuals with a history of pneumonia.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal tract involvement in systemic sclerosis concerns more than 90% of patients but is of heterogeneous clinical expression. It can involve the entire intestinal tract and be responsible for multifactorial malnutrition, which is frequent in this disease. It is a major source of deterioration in the quality of life and can even be life-threatening. Management is complex and multidisciplinary, ranging from simple hygienic and dietary measures, to specialized endoscopic or surgical interventional procedures, also including medical treatments, particularly proton pump inhibitors and prokinetics, with potential side effects. Ongoing research for new diagnostic and therapeutic tools promises to improve the management and prognosis of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the efficacy and tolerability of minocycline vs. tetracycline in bismuth-containing quadruple therapy for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) rescue treatment. METHODS This study was a multi-center, randomized-controlled, non-inferiority trial. Refractory H. pylori-infected subjects with multiple treatment-failure were randomly (1:1) allocated to receive 14-day therapy with esomeprazole 20 mg b.i.d, bismuth 220 mg b.i.d, plus metronidazole 400 mg q.i.d and minocycline 100 mg b.i.d (minocycline group) or tetracycline 500 mg q.i.d (tetracycline group). Primary outcome was H. pylori eradication rate evaluated by 13C-urea breath test at least 6 weeks after the end of treatment. Antibiotic resistance was determined using E test method. RESULTS Three hundred and sixty-eight subjects were randomized. The eradication rates in minocycline group and tetracycline group were 88.0% (162/184, 95% CI 83.3-92.8%) and 88.6% (163/184, 95% CI 83.9-93.2%) in intention-to-treat analysis, 98.0% (149/152, 95% CI 95.8-100%) and 97.4% (150/154, 95% CI 94.9-99.9%) in per-protocol analysis, 93.1% (162/174, 95% CI 89.3-96.9%) and 93.1% (163/175, 95% CI 89.4-96.9%) in modified intention-to-treat analysis. Minocycline, tetracycline and metronidazole resistance rates were 0.7%, 1.4% and 89.6%, respectively. Non-inferiority of minocycline was confirmed (P < 0.025). Metronidazole resistance did not affect the efficacy of either therapy. The two therapies exhibited comparable frequencies of adverse events (55.4% vs. 53.3%); almost half of them were mild. Dizziness was the most common adverse events in the minocycline group. CONCLUSIONS Minocycline can be an alternative for tetracycline in bismuth-containing quadruple therapy for H. pylori empirical rescue treatment, irrespective of metronidazole resistance. However, relatively high incidence of adverse events in both regimens should be emphasized.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS We examined gallbladder and biliary tract mortality predictors in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 1988-1994, with 31 years of linked mortality data, and gallstone disease prevalence trends and associations in NHANES 2017-March 2020 prepandemic data. APPROACH AND RESULTS In NHANES 1988-1994, 18,794 participants were passively followed for mortality, identified by death certificate underlying or contributing causes, by linkage to the National Death Index through 2019. In NHANES 2017-March 2020, gallstone disease history was ascertained from 9232 adults. During NHANES 1988-2019 follow-up (median, 23.3 y), 8580 deaths occurred from all causes and 72 deaths with gallbladder or biliary tract disease. In multivariable-adjusted analysis, older age, male sex, prediabetes or diabetes, and physical inactivity were associated with gallbladder and biliary tract mortality, and non-Hispanic Black and Mexican American race-ethnicity were inversely associated. Between 1988-1994 and 2017-March 2020, gallstone disease prevalence increased from 7.4% to 13.9% and gallbladder surgery from 6.0% to 11.6%. In 2017-March 2020 in multivariable-adjusted analysis, female sex, diabetes, liver disease, proton pump inhibitors, abdominal pain, increased age, BMI, and liver stiffness were associated with gallstone disease, and non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic Asian race and alcohol were inversely associated. CONCLUSIONS In the US population, gallstone disease prevalence doubled over 3 decades, possibly because of the worsening of metabolic risk factors and growth of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Gallbladder and biliary tract mortality and gallstone disease associations included factors such as prediabetes or diabetes, liver stiffness and proton pump inhibitors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) remains one of the most commonly encountered gastrointestinal disorders. Proton pump inhibitors still show an inadequate effect on about 10% to 40% of the patients. Laparoscopic antireflux surgery is the surgical alternative for managing GERD in patients who are not responding to proton pump inhibitors. AIM OF THE STUDY This study objected at comparing laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication and laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication (LTF) concerning the short-term and long-term outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a systematic review and meta-analysis that evaluated the studies comparing between Nissen fundoplication and LTF for the treatment of GERD. Studies were obtained by searching on the EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and PubMed central database. RESULTS The LTF group showed significantly longer operation time, less postoperative dysphagia and gas bloating, less pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter, and higher Demeester scores. No statistically significant differences were found between the 2 groups in the perioperative complications, the recurrence of GERD, the reoperation rate, the quality of life, or the reoperation rate. CONCLUSION LTF is favored for the surgical treatment of GERD being of lower postoperative dysphagia and gas bloating rates. These benefits were not at the expense of significantly additional perioperative complications or surgery failure.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is primarily diagnosed based on symptoms and response to a proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) trial. Gold standard testing requires an invasive endoscopic procedure, often with ambulatory pH monitoring. Salivary pepsin is a potential noninvasive modality for GERD diagnosis. This study aimed to assess diagnostic performance of salivary pepsin thresholds for GERD and determine optimal collection protocol of saliva in an external validation cohort. Over 10 months, adults with symptoms of GERD undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy with wireless pH-monitoring off PPI were enrolled. Saliva was self-collected by participants over 4 days across three different time points: fasting ante meridiem (AM), post-prandial, and bedtime (PM). Pepsin levels were calculated via Peptest. Pepsin variability and agreement were determined using linear mixed effects models and intraclass correlation. Validation of diagnostic threshold and performance characteristics were evaluated by receiver-operator curve analysis. Twenty participants enrolled in the study; 50% with physiologic acid exposure (acid exposure time < 4% no GERD) and 50% with elevated acid exposure (GERD). Mean pepsin concentrations were significantly lower in the AM (22.6 ± 25.2 ng/mL) compared to post-prandial (44.5 ± 36.7 ng/mL) and PM (55.4 ± 47.0 ng/mL). Agreement between pepsin concentrations across 3 days was substantial for AM samples (kappa 0.61), with lower agreement for post-prandial and PM samples. A single AM pepsin concentration of 25 ng/mL was 67% accurate for GERD with 56% sensitivity and 78% specificity. This validation study highlights fair accuracy and performance characteristics of a single fasting AM salivary pepsin concentration for the diagnosis of GERD.

Abstract
Futibatinib, an oral, irreversible fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 1-4 inhibitor, is being evaluated for FGFR-aberrant tumors. Two open-label phase 1 studies evaluated the effects of high-fat, high-calorie food and concomitant proton pump inhibitors (PPIs; lansoprazole) on single-dose futibatinib (20 mg) pharmacokinetics and safety in healthy adults. In the food effect study (N = 17), subjects received futibatinib under fed and fasted conditions, separated by a 7-day washout. In the PPI study (N = 20), subjects received futibatinib alone, underwent a 2-day washout, and then received lansoprazole 60 mg once daily for 5 days, with futibatinib also administered on day 5. Under fed versus fasted conditions, futibatinib bioavailability was 11.2% lower (area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity geometric mean ratio 88.8%; 90% confidence interval, 79.8%-98.9%), and median time to maximum plasma concentration was significantly delayed (4.0 vs 1.5 hours; P < .0001). There were no significant differences in futibatinib exposure between futibatinib plus lansoprazole and futibatinib alone. No serious adverse events occurred in either study. These findings suggest that food and PPIs are unlikely to have clinically meaningful impacts on futibatinib bioavailability. Thus, futibatinib may be used with or without food and concomitantly with acid-reducing agents.
