Abstract
CONTEXT The development of nanocarriers of plant origin, such as plant cell membranes, has recently been investigated. Also, plant bioactive compounds as sulforaphane (SFN) from broccoli have recognized antioxidant or anticancer properties. OBJECTIVE To investigate the capacity of membrane vesicles from broccoli (BM-vesicles) to encapsulate SFN and their application in the cancer cell line. MATERIALS AND METHODS Physicochemical analysis was carried out to characterize BM-vesicles through different approaches: dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, stopped-flow analysis, and proteomic analysis. They were applied at different concentrations (BM-vesicles at 0.04-0.00315% of protein and SFN at 5, 25, and 100 µM) in SK-MEL-28 cells during 24 h for studying cytotoxicity and gene expression. RESULTS The entrapment efficiency was 41%. The anticancer activity tested in cells showed a decrease in proliferation when SFN in BM-vesicles was utilized. Expression patterns when SFN was applied in an encapsulated form showed a reduction of cancer markers and an increase of AQP3. Also, the metabolism of SFN occurred inside of cells, and higher SFN penetrated when it was encapsulated. DISCUSSION The results showed that encapsulated SFN was better absorbed by melanoma cells providing metabolism products and a reduction of cancer molecular markers. Also aquaporin, AQP3 was pointed to as an important marker since it appeared to play a key role in homeostasis due to the importance of water transport in biological processes. CONCLUSION These results indicate that SFN and SFN encapsulated in BM-vesicles have a high activity for the inhibition of melanocyte development. Therefore, BM-vesicles could serve as nanocarriers for drugs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Excessive exercise increases the production of reactive oxygen species in skeletal muscles. Sulforaphane activates nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and induces a protective effect against oxidative stress. In a recent report, sulforaphane intake suppressed exercise-induced oxidative stress and muscle damage in mice. However, the effect of sulforaphane intake on delayed onset muscle soreness after eccentric exercise in humans is unknown. We evaluated the effect of sulforaphane supplement intake in humans regarding the delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after eccentric exercise. RESEARCH METHODS & PROCEDURES To determine the duration of sulforaphane supplementation, continuous blood sampling was performed and NQO1 mRNA expression levels were analyzed. Sixteen young men were randomly divided into sulforaphane and control groups. The sulforaphane group received sulforaphane supplements. Each group performed six set of five eccentric exercise with the nondominant arm in elbow flexion with 70% maximum voluntary contraction. We assessed muscle soreness in the biceps using the visual analog scale, range of motion (ROM), muscle damage markers, and oxidative stress marker (malondialdehyde; MDA). RESULTS Sulforaphane supplement intake for 2 weeks increased NQO1 mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Muscle soreness on palpation and ROM were significantly lower 2 days after exercise in the sulforaphane group compared with the control group. Serum MDA showed significantly lower levels 2 days after exercise in the sulforaphane group compared with the control group. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that sulforaphane intake from 2 weeks before to 4 days after the exercise increased NQO1, a target gene of Nrf2, and suppressed DOMS after 2 days of eccentric exercise.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sulforaphane (SFN) is a naturally occurring organosulfur compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, brussels sprouts and cabbage. SFN is known for its multiple therapeutic properties, such as HDAC inhibitory, chemo preventive and anti-cancer effects. Cisplatin (CIS) has limited effect against metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Additionally, CIS impose severe side effects to normal cells, and later TNBC cells develops resistance. Studies suggest that the overexpression of sirtuins (SIRTs) promotes CIS resistance and metastasis by activating epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway in TNBC. PURPOSE In view of the above information, we investigated the therapeutic efficacy of SFN, in combination with CIS against TNBC metastasis and CIS resistance. METHODS The anti-cancerous effect of SFN-CIS combination on human TNBC cell lines was demonstrated by utilizing MTT assay and, apoptosis and cell cycle assay followed by FACS analysis. The synergistic effect of SFN-CIS combination on the experimental metastasis was demonstrated by utilizing migration, invasion, chemotaxis, mammosphere and colony formation assay on human TNBC MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells. The role of SIRTs-mediated EMT signaling axis in the metastasis and chemoresistance was investigated by western blotting technique as well as sirtuin activity tests. This was further validated by using Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis. RESULTS We found that SFN-CIS combination synergistically inhibits cellular growth of MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells. More importantly, SFN was found to protect normal kidney cells from CIS-induced toxicity. Further, SFN-CIS combination was found to synergistically inhibit metastatic-events via significantly altering EMT markers which was further associated with the suppression of SIRTs functions in TNBC cells. ChIP analysis validated that SFN-CIS combination suppresses EMT mechanism through altered chromatin modifications at E-cadherin promoter resulting in its re-expression. CONCLUSION The results of the current study suggests that CIS when supplemented with SFN, inhibits metastasis and stemness potential of TNBC cells by down regulating SIRTs-mediated EMT cascade. Overall this study affirms that, this novel combination could be a promising strategy against SIRT-mediated TNBC metastasis and CIS-resistance.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that sulforaphane (SFN) is a promising agent against osteoclastic bone destruction. However, the mechanism underlying its anti-osteoclastogenic activity is still unclear. Herein, for the first time, we explored the potential role of autophagy in SFN-mediated anti-osteoclastogenesis in vitro and in vivo. We established an osteoclastogenesis model using receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-β ligand (RANKL)-induced RAW264.7 cells and bone marrow macrophages (BMMs). Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining showed the formation of osteoclasts. We observed autophagosomes by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In vitro, we found that SFN inhibited osteoclastogenesis (number of osteoclasts: 22.67 ± 0.88 in the SFN (0) group vs. 20.33 ± 1.45 in the SFN (1 μM) group vs. 13.00 ± 1.00 in the SFN (2.5 μM) group vs. 6.66 ± 1.20 in the SFN (2.5 μM) group), decreased the number of autophagosomes, and suppressed the accumulation of several autophagic proteins in osteoclast precursors. The activation of autophagy by rapamycin (RAP) almost reversed the SFN-elicited anti-osteoclastogenesis (number of osteoclasts: 22.67 ± 0.88 in the control group vs. 13.00 ± 1.00 in the SFN group vs. 17.33 ± 0.33 in the SFN+RAP group). Furthermore, Western blot (WB) analysis revealed that SFN inhibited the phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). The JNK activator anisomycin significantly promoted autophagy, whereas the inhibitor SP600125 markedly suppressed autophagic activation in pre-osteoclasts. Microcomputed tomography (CT), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and immunofluorescence (IF) were used to analyze the results in vivo. Consistent with the in vitro results, we found that the administration of SFN could decrease the number of osteoclasts and the expression of autophagic light chain 3 (LC3) and protect against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced calvarial erosion. Our findings highlight autophagy as a crucial mechanism of SFN-mediated anti-osteoclastogenesis and show that the JNK signaling pathway participates in this process.

Abstract
Isothiocyanates (ITCs), present as glucosinolate precursors in cruciferous vegetables, have shown anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticarcinogenic activities. Here, we compared the effects of three different ITCs on ROS production and on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9, which represent important pathogenetic factors of various neurological diseases. Primary cultures of rat astrocytes were activated by LPS and simultaneously treated with different doses of Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), 2-Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) and 2-Sulforaphane (SFN). Results showed that SFN and PEITC were able to counteract ROS production induced by H2O2. The zymographic analysis of cell culture supernatants evidenced that PEITC and SFN were the most effective inhibitors of MMP-9, whereas, only SFN significantly inhibited MMP-2 activity. PCR analysis showed that all the ITCs used significantly inhibited both MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression. The investigation on the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway demonstrated that ITCs modulate MMP transcription by inhibition of extracellular-regulated protein kinase (ERK) activity. Results of this study suggest that ITCs could be promising nutraceutical agents for the prevention and complementary treatment of neurological diseases associated with MMP involvement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Personalised medicine strategies may improve outcomes in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but validation of predictive biomarkers is required. Having developed a clinical trial to assess the ATR inhibitor, AZD6738, in combination with gemcitabine (ATRi/gem), we investigated ATM loss as a predictive biomarker of response to ATRi/gem in PDAC. METHODS Through kinase inhibition, siRNA depletion and CRISPR knockout of ATM, we assessed how ATM targeting affected the sensitivity of PDAC cells to ATRi/gem. Using flow cytometry, immunofluorescence and immunoblotting, we investigated how ATRi/gem synergise in ATM-proficient and ATM-deficient cells, before assessing the impact of ATM loss on ATRi/gem sensitivity in vivo. RESULTS Complete loss of ATM function (through pharmacological inhibition or CRISPR knockout), but not siRNA depletion, sensitised to ATRi/gem. In ATM-deficient cells, ATRi/gem-induced replication catastrophe was augmented, while phospho-Chk2-T68 and phospho-KAP1-S824 persisted via DNA-PK activity. ATRi/gem caused growth delay in ATM-WT xenografts in NSG mice and induced regression in ATM-KO xenografts. CONCLUSIONS ATM loss augments replication catastrophe-mediated cell death induced by ATRi/gem and may predict clinical responsiveness to this combination. ATM status should be carefully assessed in tumours from patients with PDAC, since distinction between ATM-low and ATM-null could be critical in maximising the success of clinical trials using ATM expression as a predictive biomarker.

Abstract
AIM Irritability related to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) complicates the management of ASD patients at home and in clinical settings. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, we aimed to investigate the beneficial effects of adjuvant treatment with risperidone and sulforaphane in alleviating the irritability of children with ASD. METHODS Sixty drug-free patients aged 4-12 years were randomly assigned to one of two groups receiving risperidone plus sulforaphane or placebo. Risperidone was started with a daily dose of 0.25 mg in patients weighing <20 kg and 0.5 mg in those weighing ≥20 kg and increased stepwise to reach a maximum of 1 mg (<20 kg), 2.5 mg (20-45 kg), and 3.5 mg (>45 kg). Sulforaphane was administered at a daily dose of 50 μmol (≤45 kg) or 100 μmol (>45 kg). The participants were assessed with the Aberrant Behavior Checklist - Community Edition at baseline and at Weeks 5 and 10. RESULTS Compared to the placebo group, ASD patients in the sulforaphane group showed greater improvements in Irritability score (primary outcome measure; P = 0.001) and Hyperactivity/Noncompliance score (secondary outcome measure; P = 0.015), and significant Time × Treatment effect for Irritability (P = 0.007) and Hyperactivity/Noncompliance (P = 0.008). However, no difference was seen in improvements in the other secondary measures: Lethargy/Social Interaction score, Stereotypic Behavior score, Inappropriate Speech score, and frequency of adverse events. CONCLUSION Our results support the safety and efficacy of sulforaphane as an adjuvant to risperidone for improvement of irritability and hyperactivity symptoms in children with ASD.

Abstract
Olanzapine is effective to treat for schizophrenia and other mood disorders, but limited by side effects such as weight gain, dyslipidemia, and liver injury. Obesity in the US is at epidemic levels, and is a significant risk factor for drug-induced liver injury. Obesity incidence in the psychiatric population is even higher than in the US population as a whole. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that obesity worsens olanzapine-induced hepatic injury, and to investigate the potential protective effects of sulforaphane. 8-week old female C57BL/6 mice were fed either a high-fat or low-fat control diet (HFD and LFD). Mice also received either olanzapine (8 mg/kg/d) or vehicle by osmotic minipump for 4 weeks. A subset of mice in the HFD + olanzapine group was administered sulforaphane, a prototypical Nrf2 inducer (90 mg/kg/d). Olanzapine alone increased body weight, without a commensurate increase in food consumption. Olanzapine also caused hepatic steatosis and injury. Combining olanzapine and HFD caused further dysregulation of glucose and lipid metabolism. Liver damage from concurrent HFD and olanzapine was worse than liver damage from high-fat diet or olanzapine alone. Sulforaphane alleviated many metabolic side effects of olanzapine and HFD. Taken together, these data show that olanzapine dysregulates glucose and lipid metabolism and exacerbates hepatic changes caused by eating a HFD. Activation of the intrinsic antioxidant defense pathway with sulforaphane can partially prevent these effects of olanzapine and may represent a useful strategy to protect against liver injury.

Abstract
Ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) can be considered an attractive target for cancer treatment due to its deleterious effect on cancer cells harboring a homologous recombination defect. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential use of the ATR inhibitor, AZD6738, to treat gastric cancer.In SNU-601 cells with dysfunctional ATM, AZD6738 treatment led to an accumulation of DNA damage due to dysfunctional RAD51 foci formation, S phase arrest, and caspase 3-dependent apoptosis. In contrast, SNU-484 cells with functional ATM were not sensitive to AZD6738. Inhibition of ATM in SNU-484 cells enhanced AZD6738 sensitivity to a level comparable with that observed in SNU-601 cells, showing that activation of the ATM-Chk2 signaling pathway attenuates AZD6738 sensitivity. In addition, decreased HDAC1 expression was found to be associated with ATM inactivation in SNU-601 cells, demonstrating the interaction between HDAC1 and ATM can affect sensitivity to AZD6738. Furthermore, in an in vivo tumor xenograft mouse model, AZD6738 significantly suppressed tumor growth and increased apoptosis.These findings suggest synthetic lethality between ATR inhibition and ATM deficiency in gastric cancer cells. Further clinical studies on the interaction between AZD 6738 and ATM deficiency are warranted to develop novel treatment strategies for gastric cancer. Mol Cancer Ther; 16(4); 566-77. ©2017 AACR.

Abstract
Objective: To report 2 cases of thrombocytopenia associated with pantoprazole treatment and discuss existing reports on this drug-induced adverse event. Case Summaries: This paper describes the course of thrombocytopenia associated with pantoprazole 40 mg in 2 hospitalized patients. In both cases, thrombocytopenia appeared after the initiation of pantoprazole and rapidly improved after discontinuation of pantoprazole, although complete resolution of thrombocytopenia occurred in only one patient prior to discharge from the hospital. Discussion: The mechanism of drug-induced thrombocytopenia is often poorly understood, and proton-pump inhibitors are generally not strongly suspected as a cause of thrombocytopenia. However, an objective causality assessment using the Naranjo probability scale revealed a probable relationship between thrombocytopenia and pantoprazole in both of the cases. It is unknown whether this is a class effect. Conclusions: Although drug-induced thrombocytopenia with pantoprazole appears to be rare, it represents a potentially severe adverse effect. This supports the judicious prescribing of pantoprazole and possibly other proton-pump inhibitors.

Abstract
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) comprises a group of rare genetic retinal disorders in which one of several different mutations induces photoreceptor death. Oxidative stress and glutathione (GSH) alterations may be related to the pathogenesis of RP. GSH has been shown to be present in high concentrations in the retina. In addition, the retina has the capability to synthesize GSH. In this study, we tested whether the two subunits of glutamate cysteine ligase, the rate-limiting enzyme in GSH synthesis, and the concentrations of retinal GSH, oxidized glutathione (GSSG), cysteine (Cys) and glutamate are altered in the retina of two different RP mice models. Retinas from C3H and rd1 mice at different postnatal days (P7, P11, P15, P19, P21 and P28) and from C57BL/6 and rd10 mice at P21 were obtained. Western blot analysis was performed to determine the protein content of catalytic and modulatory subunits from glutamate cysteine ligase (GCLC and GCLM, respectively). In another set of experiments, control and rd1 mice were administered buthinine sulfoximine, a glutathione synthase inhibitor, or paraquat. GSH, GSSG, glutamate and Cys concentrations were determined, by HPLC. A decrease in retinal GCLC content was observed in C3H and rd1 mice with age, nevertheless, there was an increase in retinal GCLC in rd1 mice compared to control retinas at P19. No modifications in GCLM content with age and no difference between GCLM content in rd1 and control retinas were observed. The GSH concentration decreased in the rd1 retinas compared with control ones at P15, it increased at P19, and was again similar at P21 and P28. No changes in GSSG concentration in control retinas with age were observed; the GSSG levels in rd1 retinas were similar from P7 to P19 and then increased significantly at P21 and P28. Glutamate concentration was increased in the rd1 retinas compared to control mice from P7 to P15 and were comparable at P21 and P28. The Cys concentrations was measured in control and rd1 retinas, but no significant changes were observed between them. BSO administration decreases GSH retinal concentration in control and rd1 mice, while paraquat administration induced an increase in GSH retinal concentration in control mice and a decrease in GSH in rd1 mice retina. Retinal GCLC was significantly increased in rd10 mice at P21 as well as GSSG. Our results suggest alterations in retinal GCLC content and GSH and/or its precursors in these two RP animal models. Regulation of the enzymes related to GSH metabolism and the retinal concentration of glutamate may be a possible target to delay especially cone death in RP.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ilaprazole (IY-81149) is a new proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) not previously studied in human patients with ulcer disease. This study evaluated and compared it with a reference PPI, omeprazole, in the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers. METHODS This was a double-blind, parallel, randomized study. Patients aged 18 years and above with at least one endoscopically confirmed active non-malignant gastric/duodenal ulcer were treated with 20 mg/day omeprazole or 5 mg/day or 10 mg/day ilaprazole for four weeks. Healing of ulcer was determined by its resolution from active to scarring stage. Symptoms relief was evaluated using a graded score. Safety and tolerability were evaluated on basis of clinical assessments. Between-group differences were tested using ANOVA or ANCOVA, as appropriate. Statistical significance was assumed at a two-tailed p value of </=0.05. RESULTS Two hundred and twelve gastric ulcer patients (median age 53.3 years) and 306 duodenal ulcer patients (median age 49.7 years) were recruited; 71.8 and 85% of gastric and duodenal ulcer patients, respectively, completed the study. Ulcers were successfully healed in 64.29, 67.14, and 63.89% of gastric ulcer patients and 78.85, 83.65, and 78.57% of duodenal ulcer patients after treatment with 20 mg omeprazole, 5 mg ilaprazole, and 10 mg ilaprazole, respectively. Most patients (>90%) became asymptomatic after treatment. At the dosages administered, both drugs exhibited similar efficacy and a similar safety profile. CONCLUSIONS Ilaprazole is as tolerable, safe, and efficacious as omeprazole in the treatment of gastroduodenal ulcers, at a much lower dose (5 vs. 20 mg omeprazole).

Abstract
We compared the neurokinin 1 receptor (NK(1)R) antagonists aprepitant, CP-99994 [(2S,3S)-3-(2-methoxybenzylamino)-2-phenylpiperidine], and ZD6021 [3-cyano-N-((2S)-2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-[4-[2-(methyl-(S)-sulfinyl)phenyl]piperidino]butyl)-N-methyl]napthamide]] with respect to receptor interactions and duration of efficacy in vivo. In Ca(2+) mobilization assays (fluorometric imaging plate reader), antagonists were applied to human U373MG cells simultaneously with or 2.5 min before substance P (SP). In reversibility studies, antagonists were present for 30 min before washing, and responses to SP were repeatedly measured afterward. The compounds were administered i.p. to gerbils, and the gerbil foot tap (GFT) response was monitored at various time points. The NK(1)R receptor occupancy for aprepitant was determined in striatal regions. Levels of compound in brain and plasma were measured. Antagonists were equipotent at human NK(1)R and acted competitively with SP. After preincubation, aprepitant and ZD6021 attenuated the maximal responses, whereas CP-99994 only shifted the SP concentration-response curve to the right. The inhibitory effect of CP-99994 was over within 30 min, whereas for ZD6021, 50% inhibition still persisted after 60 min. Aprepitant produced maximal inhibition lasting at least 60 min. CP-99994 (3 micromol/kg) inhibited GFT by 100% 15 min after administration, but the effect declined rapidly together with brain levels thereafter. The efficacy of ZD6021 (10 micromol/kg) lasted 4 h and correlated well with brain levels. Aprepitant (3 micromol/kg) inhibited GFT and occupied striatal NK(1)R by 100% for >48 h despite that brain levels of compound were below the limit of detection after 24 h. Slow functional reversibility is associated with long-lasting in vivo efficacy of NK(1)R antagonists, whereas the efficacy of compounds with rapid reversibility is reflected by their pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
We sought to evaluate safety and efficacy of IV pantoprazole when used as initial therapy in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and a history of erosive esophagitis (EE) in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, parallel-group study. Patients were randomized to 7 days of once-daily IV or oral pantoprazole (40 mg) or placebo. Efficacy variables included maximal acid output, basal acid output, and changes from baseline in frequency/severity of GERD symptoms, and frequency of antacid usage. Seventy-eight patients were randomized (n=26/27/25 [IV/oral/placebo]). Mean maximal acid output was 8.4, 6.3, and 20.9 mEq/h for IV or oral pantoprazole, and placebo, respectively. For pantoprazole versus placebo, maximal and basal acid output were significantly lower (P<.001) and there was a numerical trend toward improved GERD and antacid usage. Both treatments were well tolerated. In conclusion, IV/oral pantoprazole were similarly effective in suppressing basal and pentagastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion in GERD patients with a history of EE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES No North American randomized study has compared ulcer rebleeding rates after endoscopic hemostasis in high-risk patients treated with high-dose intravenous (IV) proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or IV histamine-2 receptor antagonists. Our hypothesis was that ulcer rebleeding with IV pantoprazole (PAN) would be lower than with IV ranitidine (RAN). METHODS This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, U.S. study. Patients with bleeding peptic ulcers and major stigmata of hemorrhage had endoscopic hemostasis with thermal probes with or without epinephrine injection, then were randomly assigned to IV PAN 80 mg plus 8 mg/h or IV RAN 50 mg plus 6.25 mg/h for 72 h, and subsequently had an oral PPI (1/day). Patients with signs of rebleeding had repeat endoscopy. Rebleeding rates up to 30 days were compared in an intention-to-treat analysis. RESULTS The study was stopped early because of slow enrollment (total N = 149, PAN 72, RAN 77). Demographics, APACHE II scores, ulcer type/location, stigmata, and hemostasis used were similar. The 7- and 30-day rebleeding rate was 6.9% (5 of 72 patients) with PAN and 14.3% (11 of 77) for RAN (p= 0.19). Rebleeds occurred within 72 h in 56% and between 4 and 7 days in 44% of patients. The 30-day mortality rate was 4%. Nonbleeding severe adverse events were more common in the RAN than in the PAN group (14 [18.1%]vs 7 [9.7%], p= 0.16). CONCLUSIONS Because of the small sample size of this study, there was an arithmetic but not significant difference in ulcer rebleeding rates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Results of randomized treatment trials for laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) are mixed. The cause and effect between gastroesophageal reflux and laryngeal symptoms remain elusive. AIMS To determine the efficacy of single-dose pantoprazole in newly diagnosed LPR and to correlate hypopharyngeal reflux with symptom improvement. METHODS Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was performed with a 2-wk run-in, 12-wk treatment period (pantoprazole 40 mg q.a.m. or placebo), and 4-wk follow-up. Study criteria were laryngeal complaints >3 days/wk and a positive triple-sensor pH test. Laryngeal exam was graded using a reflux finding score before and after treatment. Repeat pH test was performed on study drug at week 12. Weekly diaries were kept on symptom severity and global assessment. Total laryngeal symptom score was defined as the sum of six laryngeal symptoms. Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon, and Pearson tests were used. RESULTS Thirty-nine subjects (13 M/26 F, median age 39 yr) were randomized; 35 completed the study. During the treatment period, total laryngeal symptom scores significantly improved compared with pretreatment scores in both study groups, but there were no significant differences between them. Forty percent of pantoprazole group reported adequate relief at week 12, compared with 42% of placebo group (p= 0.89). No significant improvement in hypopharyngeal reflux was found in either study group. There were no significant correlations between laryngeal reflux finding scores and hypopharyngeal reflux episodes with symptom improvement. CONCLUSIONS Response was similar between single-dose pantoprazole and placebo in newly diagnosed LPR. Our results suggested that laryngeal exam was not useful in following treatment response. Hypopharyngeal reflux may represent acid reflux or artifacts, but is not likely the underlying cause.

Abstract
AIM To investigate tolerability and efficacy of pantoprazole 20 mg, once daily (o.d.), pantoprazole 40 mg o.d., and omeprazole 20 mg o.d., in patients taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug(s) (NSAIDs). METHODS Included in this randomized, double-blind, multicenter, parallel-group study were rheumatic patients (>55 yr) on continual NSAIDs and with at least one more recognized risk factor that contributes to the development of gastrointestinal (GI) injury. Study duration was 6 months, and the treatment consisted of pantoprazole 20 mg o.d. (N = 196), pantoprazole 40 mg o.d. (N = 199), or omeprazole 20 mg o.d. (N = 200). Patients took NSAID(s) (except COX-2 inhibitors), had no more than five erosions/petechiae in the upper GI tract, no current peptic ulcers or reflux esophagitis, and had at most moderate intensity GI symptoms. Endoscopy was performed at baseline, 3, and 6 months. The primary end points were lack of "therapeutic failure" and lack of "endoscopic failure" at 6 months. RESULTS After 6 months, the probabilities to remain in remission were 90% pantoprazole 20 mg o.d., 93% pantoprazole 40 mg o.d., and 89% omeprazole 20 mg o.d. for lack of "therapeutic failure;" 91% pantoprazole 20 mg o.d., 95% pantoprazole 40 mg o.d., and 93% omeprazole 20 mg o.d. for lack of "endoscopic failure." CONCLUSIONS For patients taking NSAIDs continually, pantoprazole 20 mg o.d., pantoprazole 40 mg o.d., or omeprazole 20 mg o.d. provide equivalent, effective, and well-tolerated prophylaxis against GI lesions, including peptic ulcers.

Abstract
Triclabendazole (TCBZ) is an halogenated benzimidazole (BZD) compound worldwide used to control immature and adult stages of the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica. The purpose of this investigation was to characterize in vitro the patterns of hepatic and ruminal biotransformation of TCBZ and its metabolites in sheep. TCBZ parent drug was metabolized into its sulphoxide (TCBZSO), sulphone (TCBZSO2) and hydroxy derivatives by sheep liver microsomes. The same microsomal fraction was also able to oxidize TCBZSO into TCBZSO2 and hydroxy-TCBZSO (HO-TCBZSO). TCBZ sulphoxidation was significantly (P < 0.001) inhibited after inactivation of the flavin-monooxygenase (FMO) system (77% inhibition) as well as in the presence of the FMO substrate methimazole (MTZ) (71% inhibition). TCBZ sulphoxidative metabolism was also reduced (24% inhibition, P < 0.05) by the cytochrome P450 inhibitor piperonyl butoxide (PB). The rate of TCBZSO conversion into TCBZSO2 was also significantly inhibited by PB (55% inhibition), MTZ (52% inhibition) and also following FMO inactivation (58% inhibition). The data reported here indicate that the FMO is the main enzymatic pathway involved in TCBZ sulphoxidation (ratio FMO/P450 = 3.83 +/- 1.63), although both enzymatic systems participate in a similar proportion in the sulphonation of TCBZSO to form the sulphone metabolite (ratio FMO/P450 = 1.31 +/- 0.23). Additionally, ketoconazole (KTZ) did not affect TCBZ sulphoxidation but decreased (66% inhibition, P < 0.05) the formation of TCBZSO2. Similarly, inhibition of TCBZSO2 production was observed after incubation of TCBZSO in the presence of KTZ and erythromycin (ETM). Conversely, thiabendazole (TBZ) and fenbendazole (FBZ) did not affect the oxidative metabolism of both incubated substrates. The sheep ruminal microflora was able to reduce the sulphoxide (TCBZSO) into the parent thioether (TCBZ). The ruminal sulphoreduction of the HO-TCBZSO derivative into HO-TCBZ was also demonstrated. The rate of sulphoreduction of HO-TCBZSO was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than that observed for TCBZSO. The metabolic approach tested here contributes to the identification of the different pathways involved in drug biotransformation in ruminant species. These findings on the pattern of hepatic and ruminal biotransformation of TCBZ and its main metabolites are a further contribution to the understanding of the pharmacological properties of widely used anthelmintics in ruminants. Comprehension of TCBZ metabolism is critical to optimize its flukicidal activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of Helicobacter pylori eradication on the clinical outcome of esophagitis in elderly patients is controversial. AIM To evaluate the effect of H. pylori eradication on clinical outcome of esophagitis and on chronic gastritis and its activity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-one symptomatic elderly patients with esophagitis and H. pylori infection were randomized into two groups. Group 1 (PPI-only, 30 patients) was treated with pantoprazole 40 mg daily for 2 months followed by pantoprazole 20 mg daily for a further 6 months; group 2 (PPI + eradication, 31 patients) was treated as group 1 plus a 1-week course of amoxicillin 1 g twice daily and clarithromycin 250 mg twice daily. Endoscopy with gastric biopsies, 13C-UBT and clinical visits were repeated after 2 and 8 months. RESULTS After 8 months, the intention-to-treat H. pylori eradication rates were 19.2% in group 1 vs. 80.7% in group 2 (p < 0.0001). No differences between group 1 and group 2 were observed in symptoms improvement (77 vs. 77%, p = n.s.) and healing rates of esophagitis (92.3 vs. 88.5%, p = n.s.). A significant decrease in the prevalence of moderate/severe chronic gastritis (from 52.2 to 4.7%, p = 0.002) and its activity (from 38 to 4.7%, p = 0.02) was observed in the antrum of patients of group 2, and not in patients of group 1. While a nonsignificant reduction in the chronic gastritis activity (from 28.6 to 4.7%, p = 0.09) was observed in the corpus of the eradicated patients of group 2, conversely a significant worsening of the chronic gastritis activity was found in the corpus of group 1 patients (from 25 to 60%, p = 0.05). CONCLUSION The eradication of H. pylori infection does not affect the clinical outcome of esophagitis, while it improves chronic gastritis and its activity in elderly patients on short- and long-term treatment with PPIs. These findings suggest that H. pylori infection should be eradicated in elderly patients with esophagitis who need maintenance treatment with PPI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proton pump inhibitors are the most potent drug treatment for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. Pre-meal dosing maximizes efficacy while sub-optimal dose timing may limit efficacy. AIM To determine the prevalence of sub-optimal proton pump inhibitor dosing in a community-based gastro-oesophageal reflux disease population. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred patients on proton pump inhibitors referred for persistent gastro-oesophageal reflux disease symptoms were questioned about their proton pump inhibitor dosing habits and classified as optimal or sub-optimal dosers. Optimal dosers took proton pump inhibitors with or up to 60 min before meals. Sub-optimal dosers took proton pump inhibitors >60 min before meals, after meals, as needed, or at bedtime. RESULTS Forty-six percent dosed optimally. Fifty-four percent dosed sub-optimally with 21 of 54 (39%) dosing >60 min before meals, 16 (30%) after meals, 15 (28%) at bedtime and two (4%) as needed. Only 6% of the subjects on once-daily proton pump inhibitor regimens and 33% of subjects taking proton pump inhibitors two- to three times daily dosed in a manner that maximized acid suppression (15-30 min before a meal). CONCLUSIONS In this study, 54% of patients dosed proton pump inhibitors sub-optimally and only 12% dosed in a manner that maximized acid suppression. As sub-optimal proton pump inhibitor dose timing can limit efficacy, patients with refractory symptoms should be asked about dose timing to avoid inappropriate and costly dose escalations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Following successful endoscopic therapy in patients with peptic ulcer bleeding, rebleeding occurs in 20% of patients. Rebleeding remains the most important determinant of poor prognosis. We investigated whether or not administration of pantoprazole infusion would improve the outcome in ulcer bleeding following successful endoscopic therapy. METHODS In this double-blind, placebo-controlled, prospective trial, patients who had gastric or duodenal ulcers with active bleeding or non-bleeding visible vessel received combined endoscopy therapy with injection of epinephrine and heater probe application. Patients who achieved hemostasis were randomly assigned to receive pantoprazole (80 mg intravenous bolus followed by an infusion at a rate of 8 mg per hour) or placebo for 72 h. The primary end-point was the rate of rebleeding. RESULTS Rebleeding was lower in the pantoprazole group (8 of 102 patients, 7.8%) than in the placebo group (20 of 101 patients, 19.8%; P = 0.01). Patients in the pantoprazole group required significantly fewer transfusions (1 +/- 2.5 vs 2 +/- 3.3; P = 0.003) and days of hospitalization (5.6 +/- 5.3 vs 7.7 +/- 7.3; P = 0.0003). Rescue therapies were needed more frequently in the placebo group (7.8% vs 19.8%; P = 0.01). Three (2.9%) patients in the pantoprazole group and eight (7.9%) in the placebo group required surgery to control their bleeding (P = 0.12). Two patients in the pantoprazole group and four in the placebo group died (P = 0.45). CONCLUSION In patients with bleeding peptic ulcers, the use of high dose pantoprazole infusion following successful endoscopic therapy is effective in reducing rebleeding, transfusion requirements and hospital stay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Orally and intravenously administered proton pump inhibitors have been shown to reduce rebleeding rates, surgery and transfusion requirement. AIM To compare lansoprazole intravenous and orally disintegrating tablet (Prevacid SoluTab) regimens with a pantoprazole intravenously administered regimen in sustaining intragastric pH >6.0. METHODS Two similarly designed three-way, randomized crossover studies each enrolled 36 Helicobacter pylori-negative healthy volunteers. Study 1 regimens included intravenously administered bolus followed by 24-h continuous infusion (lansoprazole 90 mg, 6 mg/h; lansoprazole 120 mg, 6 mg/h; pantoprazole 80 mg, 8 mg/h). Study 2 regimens included intravenous bolus followed by lansoprazole orally disintegrating tablet or intravenous continuous infusion for 24 h (lansoprazole 90 mg, lansoprazole orally disintegrating tablet 60 mg every 6 h; lansoprazole 120 mg, 9 mg/h; pantoprazole 80 mg, 8 mg/h). Percentage of time pH >6.0 was assessed with 24-h intragastric pH monitoring. RESULTS All regimens produced comparable gastric acid suppression. In both studies, regimens superior to pantoprazole included lansoprazole 90 mg, 6-mg/h; lansoprazole 90 mg, lansoprazole orally disintegrating tablet 60 mg q.d.s. and lansoprazole 120 mg, 9 mg/h (P < or = 0.013). The lansoprazole 120-mg, 6-mg/h regimen (P = 0.082) was not superior to pantoprazole in percentage of time intragastric pH >6.0. Mild reaction at the intravenous injection site was the most frequently reported adverse event. CONCLUSIONS The intravenous bolus and continuously infused lansoprazole or intravenous bolus and intermittent lansoprazole orally disintegrating tablet regimens are as effective as intravenous pantoprazole in sustaining intragastric pH >6.0.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current 'rescue' therapies provide inadequate Helicobacter pylori eradication rates because of antibiotic resistance. AIM To test the efficacy of a modified triple regimen combining rifabutin, pantoprazole and amoxicillin as rescue therapy for patients in whom eradication of H. pylori had failed standard clarithromycin-based triple therapy. METHODS One hundred and thirty patients (mean age 51.7 +/- 14.8 years) who had failed one or more eradication attempts with omeprazole, clarithromycin and amoxicillin were treated for 12 days with rifabutin 150 mg daily, amoxicillin 1 g or 1.5 g t.d.s, and pantoprazole 80 mg t.d.s. RESULTS The intention-to-treat and per-protocol eradication rates were 90.8/90.8%. Metronidazole or/and clarithromycin resistance had no significant impact on H. pylori eradication rates. A higher overall eradication rate of 96.6% (95% CI: 92.1-101%) was obtained in patients treated with a regimen containing 1.5 g amoxicillin t.d.s compared with 90.7% (95% CI: 82-98.6%) using a regimen with 1 g amoxicillin t.d.s but the difference was not significant. Side-effects reported in 40% of patients were mild. CONCLUSION A 12-day course of low dose of rifabutin with an increased dose of amoxicillin and pantoprazole is well-tolerated and highly effective against dual-resistant H. pylori infection after failure of triple therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is not clear if starting intravenous proton pump inhibitors (IV PPI) before endoscopic therapy provides additional benefit over starting it afterward in patients with high-risk ulcer stigmata of peptic ulcer disease. METHODS All patients who received IV pantoprazole bolus and infusion and underwent endoscopy in six Canadian hospitals over 20 months were reviewed. Only patients with high-risk ulcer stigmata (arterial bleeding, oozing, nonbleeding visible vessel or adherent clot) were included. Patients receiving IV PPI before endoscopy (before group) were compared with those who received it after endoscopy (after group) with respect to endoscopic findings and, secondarily, to patient demographics and clinical outcomes. RESULTS The demographics and baseline characteristics of the before group (n=57) and the after group (n=109) were similar. The before group was more likely to have had IV PPI started outside of daytime hours, and median time to endoscopy in patients admitted with upper gastrointestinal bleeding was 24 h (interquartile range 9.5 to 35) in the before group and 11.3 h (interquartile range 3.7 to 17.2) in the after group (P<0.0001). At the time of endoscopy, 33% of patients in the before group had actively bleeding lesions (Forrest 1a or 1b) compared with 54% in the after group (P=0.01), but there were no significant differences in rebleeding, surgical rates, intensive care unit admission or death between the groups. CONCLUSION IV PPI infusions before endoscopy may lower the proportion of actively bleeding peptic ulcer lesions at endoscopy, but this finding does not appear to affect rates of rebleeding, surgery or death.

Abstract
AIMS To compare safety and efficacy of on-demand pantoprazole 20 mg/40 mg versus placebo in the long-term management of patients with mild gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after heartburn relief. METHODS A total of 634 patients with endoscopically confirmed GERD grade 0/I and heartburn were included. During the acute phase, patients were treated with pantoprazole 20 mg once daily for 4 weeks. Those patients relieved from heartburn entered the long-term phase, and were randomly assigned to either treatment group pantoprazole 20 mg, 40 mg or placebo. Over 6 months, patients took study medication on demand (antacids as rescue medication) and discontinued the drug once symptoms abated. RESULTS After 4 weeks a total of 87.1%/90.0% of patients were free of heartburn (ITT/PP), and entered the subsequent long-term phase. The perceived average daily symptom load (placebo: 3.93, pantoprazole 20 mg: 2.91, pantoprazole 40 mg: 2.71, ITT) and the number of antacid tablets taken (average number, placebo: 0.68, pantoprazole 20 mg: 0.45, pantoprazole 40 mg: 0.33, ITT) were significantly higher in the placebo than in both pantoprazole groups (p<0.0001), with no statistically significant difference between the two pantoprazole groups. The discontinuation rate due to insufficient control of heartburn was significantly lower in both pantoprazole groups compared to placebo (placebo: 10.9, pantoprazole 20 mg: 2.8, pantoprazole 40 mg: 0.9, ITT). CONCLUSIONS Our findings favor on-demand treatment with pantoprazole 20 mg for the long-term management of heartburn in patients with uncomplicated GERD (grade 0/I) with superiority to placebo.

Abstract
Intravenous (IV) administration of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is a faster way to achieve gastric acid suppression than oral administration of the same agent. Peak suppression after IV administration occurs within hours, compared with several days later after oral administration. Thus the IV route of administration offers a faster onset of gastric suppression, achievement of intragastric pH closer to neutrality, and better bioavailability. The PPIs that have IV formulations in the United States (esomeprazole, lansoprazole, and pantoprazole) are approved for different indications; the key differences among them relate to their ability to reach specific gastric pH, time to maintain a specific gastric pH, and ease of use of the IV formulation (eg, reconstitution, requirement of inline filters, infusion times).

Abstract
The clinical response to antisecretory treatment correlates directly with the degree of inhibition of acid secretion achieved. Acid inhibition able to maintain the intragastric pH at a value greater than 4 for at least 16 h/day seems to heal even the most refractory acid-related diseases. It has also been shown that the degree of inhibition of acid secretion in response to antisecretory treatment depends on the genetic characteristics of the patient and on the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection. A possible definition of potent (or profound) acid inhibition is, therefore, the achievement of the aforementioned level of control of acid secretion regardless of patient characteristics or of the presence of H. pylori infection. Antisecretory drugs differ in their ability to reach potent acid inhibition. As far as the comparative efficacy of different drugs for inhibiting acid secretion is concerned, proton pump inhibitors are more efficient in inhibiting gastric acid secretion than histamine (H2) receptor antagonists. Among the different proton pump inhibitors, esomeprazole 40 mg/day exhibits greater antisecretory potency than the others at standard doses. Rabeprazole 20 mg/day and lansoprazole 30 mg/day exhibit a more rapid onset of action than omeprazole 20 mg/day or pantoprazole 40 mg/day.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Indications for intravenous proton pump inhibitors (IV PPI) include upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) from peptic ulcer disease with high-risk stigmata and patients receiving nothing by mouth (NPO). The objectives were to assess the extent of errors in indications for IV PPI use and to determine whether multidisciplinary interventions could improve IV PPI use and costs. METHODS Part 1: Patients prescribed IV PPI during a period of 4 months were divided into 2 settings, UGIB or non-UGIB. The setting-specific appropriateness of the IV PPI indication and dosing regimen was determined. Part 2: Patients prescribed IV PPI before and after multidisciplinary interventions (educating physicians, a computerized dose template, pharmacists altering IV PPI orders in non-UGIB patients who were not NPO, and recommending a GI consult when a continuous infusion was ordered) were studied. Incidence of prescribing errors, IV PPI costs, and potential confounders were compared. RESULTS Part 1: Only 50% of UGIB (n = 145) patients received IV PPI for an appropriate indication. Both indication and dosing regimen were appropriate in 21%. In the non-UGIB group (n = 95), 33% were truly NPO; 51% had a correct dosing frequency. Part 2: The postintervention (n = 105) group (vs the preintervention group, n = 113) showed a significant absolute reduction in the degree of inappropriate indication in the UGIB (26%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 10%-42%; P < .0001) and in the non-UGIB (41%; 95% CI, 24%-58%; P < .0001) subgroups. However, a greater improvement in underspending than overspending meant that overall costs were unchanged. CONCLUSIONS IV PPI was frequently prescribed inappropriately and incorrectly; simple maneuvers resulted in reductions in errors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS A prime concern for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients is fast symptom control. Sparse valid information is available on the rapidity of the effect of proton pump inhibitors in provid ing symptom relief. The new reflux questionnaire ReQuest is validated for daily assessment of changes in GERD symptoms. Therefore, this study investigated the efficacy of 20 mg pantoprazole and 20 mg esomeprazole with regard to the time to symptom relief in patients with endoscopy-negative GERD (enGERD) using ReQuest. METHODS 529 patients were treated with pantoprazole or esomeprazole over 4 weeks. ReQuest symptom scores were assessed daily. The mean and median times to first and sustained symptom relief were determined. RESULTS Median time to first symptom relief was 2 days for both drugs (intention-to-treat population). The median time to sustained symptom relief was 3 days shorter with pantoprazole (10.0 vs. 13.0 days). The Hodges-Lehmann estimator for the difference in time to reach first and sustained symptom relief between both groups was 0.00 days. For both variables the one-sided 95% CI (Moses) was [0.00; infinity] documenting no significant differences between the treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS The rapidity of symptom control can be evaluated by clinically significant parameters using ReQuest. Pantoprazole and esomeprazole are equally effective in the time to first and sustained symptom relief.

Abstract
We have investigated the metabolism of pantoprazole and have provided an explanation for the formation mechanism of its metabolites. Metabolites found in the urine of rats after oral administration of pantoprazole sodium (25 mg kg(-1)) were analysed by liquid chromatography/ion trap mass spectrometry (LC/MS(n)). The N -acetylcysteine derivatives of benzimidazole (M1) and pyridine (M2), four pyridine-related metabolites (M3-M6), and three benzimidazole-related metabolites (M7-M9) were found, none of which had been reported previously. Five of the metabolites (M1, M2, M3, M7, and M8) were isolated from the urine of rats after oral administration of pantoprazole sodium by semipreparative HPLC. Structures of these metabolites were identified by a combination analysis of LC/MS(n) and (1)H NMR spectra. Structures of the remaining four metabolites (M4, M5, M6, and M9) were tentatively assigned through LC/MS(n). The metabolites M2, M3, M4, M5 and M6 and the other metabolites (M1, M7, M8, and M9) reflected the fate of the pyridine moiety and the benzimidazole moiety, respectively. The proposed formation route of M3-M6 was via initial reduction to mercaptopyridine followed by S-methylation, O-demethylation, and S-oxidation to the corresponding sulfoxide or sulfone. Meanwhile, M8 and M9 were formed via initial reduction to the 5-difluoromethoxy-1H benzoimidazole-2-thiol (M7) followed by hydroxylation and S-methylation. The metabolism of pantoprazole included an attack by glutathione on the benzimidazole-2-carbon and pyridine-7'-carbon. It is an important metabolic pathway of pantoprazole in rats.

Abstract
A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) plus two antibiotics (amoxicillin and either clarithromycin or metronidazole) are recommended for treatment of acid-related disorders with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. The aim of this pharmacogenetic study was to evaluate the efficacy of triple therapy with PPIs on eradication of H. pylori infection in relation to cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) and P-glycoprotein (MDR1) gene polymorphisms. The retrospective study involved 70 Polish Caucasian patients with H. pylori infection, diagnosed and treated with one of the two different triple therapy regimens [omeprazole, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin (OAC) or pantoprazole, amoxicillin, and metronidazole (PAM)]. Using genomic DNA, CYP2C19 (*2 and *3) and C3435T MDR1 alleles were determined by means of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assays. A significantly higher prevalence (P<0.05) of heterozygous extensive metabolizers (hetEM) with CYP2C19*1/*2 genotype (32.4% versus 8.3%) and homozygous with 3435TT MDR1 genotype (38.2% versus 13.9%) was found in patients cured after the first cycle of triple therapy than in patients with failure of eradication after the first cycle. CYP2C19*1/*2 and 3435TT MDR1 genotypes as well as PAM regimen of treatment were also predictive of successful eradication of H. pylori infection after the first cycle of triple therapy at univariate/multivariate logistic regression analysis. This pharmacogenetic study on the influence of different CYP2C19 and C3435T MDR1 genotypes on H. pylori eradication suggests that CYP2C19 and MDR1 polymorphisms may be independent predictable determinants of the efficacy of triple therapy including PPI. The PAM regimen of treatment seems to be more effective after the first cycle of the therapy than the OAC regimen.

Abstract
Tachyphylaxis (drug tolerance) is an undesirable condition in drug therapy with histamine-2-receptor antagonists (H2RAs). The concept of overcoming tachyphylaxsis via intravenous (i.v.) administration of proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2RAs is of significant interest to physicians. In the present study, 32 healthy Helicobacter pylori negative male volunteers were evaluated for the ability of i.v. pantoprazole or i.v. ranitidine to overcome oral ranitidine tachyphylaxis. After 10 days of oral treatment with enteric-coated 300-mg ranitidine tablets once daily in the evening, two groups of 16 volunteers each were randomized to receive either i.v. pantoprazole or i.v. ranitidine for up to 72 h. The primary variable was defined as the increase in 24-h gastric pH median after 1 day of i.v. treatment; the secondary variable was median percentage of time that 24-h gastric pH was <4, as calculated by Hodges-Lehman shift estimators. After 10 days of oral ranitidine treatment, tachyphylaxis was present in all volunteers. Within 1 day of continuous i.v. pantoprazole or i.v. ranitidine administration, 24-h median gastric pH increased from pH 1.45 to pH 3.50 (241%) and from pH 1.50 to pH 2.35 (157%), respectively. I.v. pantoprazole was found to be significantly more effective (p<0.05) than i.v. ranitidine in increasing the 24-h gastric pH after oral ranitidine tachyphylaxis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many patients treated with a proton-pump inhibitor for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease or erosive oesophagitis still have substantial night-time gastric acidity. A previous trial of a new immediate-release omeprazole oral suspension suggested that nocturnal gastric acidity could be more effectively controlled with a bedtime dose of immediate-release omeprazole than with a delayed-release proton-pump inhibitor administered before dinner or at bedtime. AIM To compare the ability of immediate-release omeprazole with pantoprazole to control nocturnal gastric acidity, when they were dosed once daily and twice daily. METHODS Thirty-six patients with nocturnal gastro-oesophageal reflux disease symptoms received immediate-release omeprazole and pantoprazole in this open-label, randomized-crossover trial. Median gastric pH, the percentage of time with gastric pH > 4 and the percentage of patients with nocturnal acid breakthrough, were evaluated with 24-h pH monitoring. RESULTS Repeated once daily (bedtime) dosing with immediate-release omeprazole suspension produced significantly better nocturnal gastric acid control than repeated once daily (predinner) or twice daily (prebreakfast and bedtime) dosing with pantoprazole delayed-release tablets (median pH: 4.7 vs. 2.0 and 1.7; percentage of time pH > 4: 55 vs. 27 and 34; nocturnal acid breakthrough: 53 vs. 78 and 75). Twice daily dosing (prebreakfast and bedtime) with immediate-release omeprazole 20 and 40 mg achieved the best night-time control of gastric acidity. Repeated once daily bedtime dosing with immediate-release omeprazole 40 mg and twice daily dosing with pantoprazole 40 mg gave similar 24-h pH control. No safety issues were associated with either drug in this trial. CONCLUSIONS Dosed once daily at bedtime, immediate-release omeprazole reduced nocturnal gastric acidity to a degree not observed with once daily dosing of delayed-release proton-pump inhibitors.

Abstract
The association omeprazole/clarithromycin is of current wide use in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori associated gastroduodenal ulcer. This combination may result in increased levels of omeprazole with potential interactions with commonly associated drugs. Kinetic/metabolic changes occurring after omeprazole/clarithromycin were compared to those occurring after pantoprazole/clarithromycin in healthy volunteers. Eight healthy volunteers, all males, age 25-34 years, all EM for CYP2C19, participated in a randomized, double blind crossover study in two periods of 7 days, separated by a 14-day washout. In each treatment period, subjects took either omeprazole 20mg b.i.d. together with clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d., or pantoprazole 40 mg b.i.d. with the same dose of the antibiotic. The pharmacokinetic parameters of omeprazole and pantoprazole were compared to those after intake of both agents alone. Kinetics of unchanged clarithromycin was evaluated at the end of the two periods. The mean value of the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of unchanged omeprazole increased almost two-fold after concomitant administration of clarithromycin; the average 5-OH-omeprazole AUC was instead significantly reduced by 42%. Omeprazole clearance and volume of distribution were reduced significantly by 75 and 56%, respectively, after administration of the drug with clarithromicyn. No significant changes of the kinetic of pantoprazole and metabolites were observed. Kinetics of clarithromycin did not differ after the two associated treatments. The administration of clarithromycin with two different proton pump inhibitors indicates that the antibiotic can markedly increase omeprazole, not pantoprazole, levels. This observation may result in a better therapeutic response to omeprazole, but it may also potentially affect either the metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates or interfere with the absorption of drugs requiring an intact gastric digestion system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with severe or complicated reflux disease may require higher than standard doses of a proton pump inhibitor for sufficient acid suppression. AIM To test the hypothesis that esomeprazole 40 mg twice daily is superior to pantoprazole 40 mg twice daily in lowering intragastric acidity. METHODS In a randomized, single-blinded, two-way crossover study, healthy subjects received esomeprazole 40 mg twice daily or pantoprazole 40 mg twice daily orally for five consecutive days. Continuous ambulatory 24-h intragastric pH was recorded on day 5 of each treatment. RESULTS Thirty subjects were analysed. Esomeprazole provided significantly higher intragastric pH-values over the 24-h period [median intragastric pH 6.4 for esomeprazole and 5.1 for pantoprazole (P < 0.00005)]. Intragastric pH > 4 was maintained for 21.1 h with esomeprazole and 16.8 h with pantoprazole (P < 0.0001). An intragastric pH > 4 for more than 16 h was achieved in 96.7 and 56.7% of subjects, respectively (P = 0.0002). During night-time the proportion of time with intragastric pH > 4 was 85.4% with esomeprazole and 63.6% with pantoprazole (P = 0.0001). Nocturnal acid break through occurred less frequently on esomeprazole. CONCLUSIONS Esomeprazole 40 mg twice daily provides better and more consistent intragastric acid control than pantoprazole 40 mg twice daily.

Abstract
AIM To assess the efficacy of the 8-week therapy with esomeprazole 40 mg vs. pantoprazole 40 mg for healing erosive oesophagitis (EE) as part of a management study. METHODS Patients had a history of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease symptoms (> or =6 months) and had suffered heartburn on at least 4 of the 7 days preceding enrollment. Endoscopies were performed to grade EE severity using the Los Angeles (LA) classification system at baseline, 4 and 8 weeks (if unhealed at 4 weeks). Heartburn severity was recorded by patients on diary cards. The primary end point was healing of EE by week 8 of treatment. RESULTS Of 3170 patients randomized, the intent-to-treat population consisted of 3151 patients (63% male, mean age: 50.6 years, 27% Helicobacter pylori-positive). Esomeprazole 40 mg healed a significantly greater proportion of EE patients than pantoprazole 40 mg at both 4 weeks (life table estimates: esomeprazole 81%, pantoprazole 75%, P < 0.001) and 8 weeks (life table estimates: esomeprazole 96%, pantoprazole 92%, P < 0.001). The median time to reach sustained heartburn resolution was 6 days in patients receiving esomeprazole and 8 days with pantoprazole (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Esomeprazole 40 mg is more effective than pantoprazole 40 mg for healing EE and providing resolution of associated heartburn.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are used widely in the management of acid-related disorders and, for the majority of patients, oral therapy is highly effective. Not all patients with acid-related disorders respond completely to standard, once-daily PPI therapy, but most nonresponders will generally respond to an increase in the dose or frequency of PPI therapy. At equivalent doses, oral and intravenous (IV) PPIs produce comparable acid suppression; thus there are very few clinical indications for IV PPI therapy. IV PPIs are an appropriate substitute for oral PPIs, at an equivalent dose, for patients with, for example, gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulceration, or Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, who cannot take oral medication. For patients with nonvariceal, upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, profound acid suppression (gastric pH . 6.0) optimizes clot stability and reduces the risk of rebleeding; this is achieved most effectively with an initial IV PPI bolus followed by a continuous infusion. High-dose, IV PPI therapy is beneficial and cost-effective in patients who have a high-risk lesion at endoscopy and it should be preceded by effective endoscopic hemostasis if possible. IV PPIs, preoperatively and in the intensive care setting, effectively reduce gastric acidity, but there are no convincing data that this confers any significant clinical benefit compared with other therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
The patient with extraesophageal manifestations of gastroesophageal reflux disease presents a clinical challenge. Symptom presentation overlaps with other otolaryngologic and pulmonary disease, and heartburn might be infrequent or absent. Endoscopy and pH monitoring are insensitive and therefore not useful in many patients as diagnostic modalities. Thus, antisecretory therapy is used as both a diagnostic trial and as therapy in the majority. Attention to optimizing therapy and judicious use of endoscopy and reflux monitoring are needed to minimize cost and maximize success.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a prevalent disease associated with a high symptom burden and a reduced quality of life. This multicenter, randomized, double-blind study compared relief from key GERD symptoms (heartburn, acid eructation, and pain on swallowing) and from other gastrointestinal symptoms (epigastric pain, vomiting, nausea, flatulence, retching, and retrosternal feeling of tightness) and safety profiles of the proton pump inhibitor pantoprazole and the H2 antagonist ranitidine in patients suffering from symptomatic GERD. METHODS The patients [338 intention-to-treat (ITT) population; 284 per-protocol (PP) population] received 20 mg pantoprazole (once daily in the morning) plus ranitidine placebo (once daily in the evening; ITT n = 167, PP n = 136) or pantoprazole placebo (once daily in the morning) plus 300 mg ranitidine (once daily in the evening; ITT n = 171, PP n = 148) for 28 days. The primary efficacy criterion (ITT and PP populations) was relief from key GERD symptoms (heartburn, acid eructation, and pain on swallowing) after 28 days of treatment. Secondary criteria (PP) included relief from key GERD symptoms on day 14, relief from all gastrointestinal symptoms on days 14 and 28, and relief from key GERD symptoms on days 14 and 28. Safety evaluations included adverse events and laboratory assessments. RESULTS Significantly more pantoprazole-treated patients were free from key GERD symptoms at day 28 (68.3%, n = 114) as compared with ranitidine-treated patients (43.3%, n = 74; 95% confidence interval for odds ratio 1.84-4.51). Pantoprazole was also significantly more efficacious in controlling all gastrointestinal symptoms of GERD. By day 28, 51.5% (n = 70) of the pantoprazole-treated patients were completely symptom free versus 31.1% (n = 46) of the ranitidine-treated patients (95% confidence interval for odds ratio 1.45-3.83). Both treatments were well tolerated. CONCLUSION Pantoprazole is significantly superior to ranitidine in the treatment of key and associated gastrointestinal symptoms of GERD and is well tolerated.

Abstract
AIM: The role of intravenous pantoprazole in treatment of patients with high-risk bleeding peptic ulcers following endoscopic hemostasis remains uncertain. We therefore conducted the pilot prospective randomized study to assess whether intravenous pantoprazole could improve the efficacy of H2-antagonist as an adjunct treatment following endoscopic injection therapy for bleeding ulcers.
METHODS: Patients with active bleeding ulcers or ulcers with major signs of recent bleeding were treated with distilled water injection. After hemostasis was achieved, they were randomly assigned to receive intravenous pantoprazole or ranitidine.
RESULTS: One hundred and two patients were enrolled in this prospective trial. Bleeding recurred in 2 patients (4%) in the pantoprazole group (n = 52), as compared with 8 (16%) in the ranitidine group (n = 50). The rebleeding rate was significantly lower in the pantoprazole group (P = 0.04). There were no statistically significant differences between the groups with regard to the need for emergency surgery (0% vs 2%), transfusion requirements (4.9 ± 5.9 vs 5.7 ± 6.8 units), hospital days (5.9 ± 3.2 vs 7.5 ± 5.0 d) or mortality (2% vs 2%).
CONCLUSION: Pantoprozole is superior to ranitidine as an adjunct treatment to endoscopic injection therapy in high-risk bleeding ulcers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS There are some reports showing that resistance of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) to clarithromycin has increased in recent years. We aimed to investigate the current success of a most popular first-line eradication regimen by using two different proton pump inhibitors: lansoprazole and pantoprazole. METHODS Ninety patients with H. pylori-positive functional dyspepsia were randomized to receive pantoprazole 40 mg b.i.d. or lansoprazole 30 mg b.i.d. in addition to amoxicillin 1,000 mg and clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily for 14 days in a multicenter study. H. pylori infection was determined by histological examination and a rapid urease test. A follow-up endoscopy was performed to assess the H. pylori eradication six weeks after the end of therapy. RESULTS Seventy-nine patients completed the study protocol properly. The H. pylori eradication rates according to per protocol analysis were 70% in group pantoprazole, amoxicillin and clarithromycin (28/40) and 69.2% in group pantoprazole, amoxicillin and clarithromycin (27/39). The eradication rates according to intention to treat analysis were 62.2% and 60% in lansoprazole, amoxicillin, clarithromycin, pantoprazole, amoxicillin, clarithromycin groups, respectively. The eradication rates were similar in both protocols (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The most popular first-line eradication protocols of H. pylori achieved only a moderate success in the current study. Alternative therapy options are needed instead of clarithromycin-based triple treatment for eradication of H. pylori. The choice of proton pump inhibitor is not important in the eradication rate of H. pylori.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral esomeprazole 40 mg provides greater acid control than oral pantoprazole 40 mg. AIM To compare the effects on intragastric acid control of esomeprazole 40 mg administered intravenously with pantoprazole 40 mg intravenously. METHODS Healthy Helicobacter pylori-negative male and female subjects were enrolled into this single-centre, open, randomized, two-way crossover study. Esomeprazole 40 mg intravenously and pantoprazole 40 mg intravenously were administered as 15-min infusions once daily at 09:00 hours for 5 days. Continuous 24-h intragastric pH monitoring was carried out at baseline and on days 1 and 5. RESULTS pH-data were available for all 25 subjects who completed the study. Esomeprazole 40 mg intravenously resulted in 8.3 and 13.9 h with an intragastric pH > 4 on days 1 and 5 compared with 5.3 and 9.0 h, respectively for pantoprazole 40 mg intravenously (day 1: P < 0.001, day 5: P < 0.0001). During the first 4 h of dosing on day 1 corresponding values were 1.7 and 0.6 h respectively (P < 0.0001). A mean median pH above 4 on day 5 was only attained with esomeprazole 40 mg intravenously. CONCLUSIONS Once-daily dosing with esomeprazole 40 mg intravenously provides faster and more pronounced intragastric acid control than pantoprazole 40 mg intravenously.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The quality life is impaired in functional dyspepsia. Little is known, however, about the impact of different therapies on the quality of life in this condition. AIM OF STUDY The scope of this study is to detect the change-over time of the quality of life under two different treatments in functional dyspepsia. METHODS One-hundred-one Helicobacter pylori positive and 98 Helicobacter pylori negative functional dyspepsia patients have been enrolled in a prospective, controlled study. Organic digestive diseases were excluded by endoscopy and abdominal ultrasound. The quality of life was assessed by a disease-specific questionnaire developed by the MAPI Research Institute, Lyon, France, translated and validated in Hungarian. Helicobacter pylori positive patients received one week triple regimen consisting in 2 x 40 mg pantoprazole + 2 x 1000 mg amoxicillin + 2 x 500 mg clarithromycin followed by on-demand ranitidine (1-2 x 150 mg) during 1 year of follow-up. Control 13C-urea breath test was performed 6 weeks after eradication. Helicobacter pylori negative patients received 3 x 10 mg cisapride for 6 weeks followed by on-demand prokinetic for 1 year. The questionnaire was self-administered at baseline, after 6 weeks and 1 year. RESULTS The eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori was of 76.4% on an 'intention-to treat' and 82.6% on 'per protocol' analysis. In patients with successful eradication, the standardized and transformed quality of life score increased after 6-8 weeks from 56.2 + 9.8 (95% confidence interval: 53.9-58.4) to 70.8 + 10.7 (68.3-73.5) (p = 0.0001) and to 75.3 + 9.3 (73.2-77.5) at 1 year (p = 0.005). In the patients with failed eradication, the quality of life has not been changed significantly (p = 0.76). The quality of life scores increased in Helicobacter pylori negative cases from 60.0 + 9.8 (58.0-62.0) to 73.3 + 9.6 (71.3 + 75.4) after 6 weeks (p = 0.0001) and to 76.5 + 8.5 (74.5 - 78.4) at 1 year (p = 0.56). The effect size was large in both groups and there were no differences between the treatment arms either at 6-8 weeks (p = 0.11) or after 1 year (p = 0.43). CONCLUSIONS Eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection and prokinetic treatment lead to significant improvement of the quality of life in functional dyspepsia. The disease-specific questionnaire was sensitive enough to capture the changes over time induced by the given therapies.
