At least 8% of the human genome is composed of endogenous retrovirus (ERV) sequences. ERVs play a role in placental morphogenesis and can sometimes protect the host against exogenous viruses. On the other hand, ERV reactivation has been found to be associated with different diseases, for example, multiple sclerosis (MS), schizophrenia, type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D), or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Little is known about the cooccurrence of these diseases. If all these diseases are caused by ERV, antiretroviral therapy should perhaps also show some effects in the other diseases. Here, we summarize literature demonstrating that some ERV-associated diseases seem to appear together more often than expected, for example, MS and ALS, MS and T1D, MS and schizophrenia, or ALS and T1D. In contrast, some ERV-associated diseases seem to appear together less frequently than expected, for example, schizophrenia and T1D. Besides, some reports demonstrate amelioration of MS, ALS, or schizophrenia under antiretroviral therapy in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients. If such results could be confirmed in larger studies, alternative therapy strategies for ERV-associated diseases like MS and schizophrenia might be possible.

Eradication therapy is the mainstay of treatment for H. pylori-associated diseases. A case of the development of tendinitis of the left patellar ligament proper during eradication therapy using a triple regimen with levofoloxacin for 14 days for exacerbation of duodenal ulcer is presented.

Abstract BackgroundThe incidence of microbial resistance is increasing, and new rescue regimens are needed in order to treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of levofloxacin based quadruple therapies in the eradication of H. pylori.MethodsIn a randomized, double-blind clinical trial, 220 patients with dyspepsia and H. pylori infection were randomly assigned to receive either bismuth subcitrate 240 mg, pantoprazole 20 mg, amoxicillin 1000 mg twice a day, and levofloxacin 500 mg daily for seven days (BPAL-7), or ten days (BPAL-10). The eradication of H. pylori was evaluated two months after the end of treatment, and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were assessed during the intervention.ResultsAccording to intention-to-treat and per-protocol, the eradication rate was significantly lower in the BPAL-7 regimen 49.1% (95% CI: 39.3–57.8) and 47.6% (95% CI: 39.7–58.4), respectively compared to the BPAL- 10 regimen 62.7% (95% CI: 53.6–72.8) and 62.4% (95% CI: 55.1–72.8), respectively. The incidence of ADRs was not statistically significant between BPAL-7 (33.6%) and BPAL-10 (36.7%) groups.ConclusionAlthough the ADRs were negligible in both groups, these regimens could not be an ideal alternative therapy for H. pylori because of low eradication rates compared to standard regimens.Trial registration: The study reviewed and approved by the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT201406141155N19). This trial was retrospectively registered on July 10, 2015.

Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that selectively infects the gastric epithelium of half of the world population. The microbiome, community of microorganisms gained major interest over the last years, due to its modification associated to health and disease states. Even if most of these descriptions have focused on chronic disorders, this review describes the impact of the intestinal bacterial microbiome on host response to Helicobacter associated diseases. Microbiome has a direct impact on host cells, major barrier of the gastro-intestinal tract, but also an indirect impact on immune system stimulation, by enhancing or decreasing non-specific or adaptive response. In microbial infections, especially in precancerous lesions induced by Helicobacter pylori infection, these modifications could lead to different outcome. Associated to data focusing on the microbiome, transcriptomic analyses of the eukaryote response would lead to a complete understanding of these complex interactions and will allow to characterize innovative biomarkers and personalized therapies.
