Aim. A review of current therapeutic perspectives of the herbal STW 5 medicine (Iberogast®) in functional gastrointestinal (GI) diseases.Key points. A limited remediation in most common functional GI diseases, functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), is conditioned by their multifactorial pathogenesis. Meanwhile, most specific medicines only target selected pathogenesis components, thus warranting a multitarget agent development. Such is Iberogast® that acts at variant components of FD and IBS pathogenesis. The article reviews the Iberogast® mechanisms of action and evaluates its treatment efficacy in FD and IBS.Conclusion. The current evidence claims that Iberogast® provides an effective and safe treatment for FD and IBS.

Introduction. Functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) overlap is an adverse clinical situation, as patients with this syndrome have more severe clinical manifestations resulting in significant reductions in quality of life. For now, there are no meta-analytical papers that would summarize the frequency of FD – IBS overlap using the revised Rome IV criteria. Objective. To organize data on the prevalence of FD – IBS overlap using the revised Rome IV criteria.Materials and methods. A search for studies was conducted in MEDLINE / PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane electronic databases. The search depth was 6 years (from January 2016 to February 2021). The final analysis included original publications from peerreviewed periodicals that used the revised Rome IV criteria as a method for diagnosing FD and IBS in the adult population with detailed descriptive statistics allowing to include resulting data in the meta-analysis.Results and discussion. The final analysis included 6 studies involving 1,180 patients with PD and 600 patients with IBS. The generalized prevalence of IBS in patients with PD was 41.511% (95% CI: 22.203–62.288). The analysis was undertaken by using a random-effects model, as there was significant heterogeneity among results (p < 0.0001; I2 = 94.28%). The generalized prevalence of PD in patients with IBS was 38.791% (95% CI: 9.438–73.710). The analysis was undertaken by using a random-effects model, as there was significant heterogeneity among results (p < 0.0001; I2 = 99.25%).Сonclusion. The complete meta-analysis showed that the frequency of FD - IBS overlap using the revised Rome IV criteria is quite high and accounts for about 40%. At the same time, further large studies of more homogeneous structure are needed to verify these results and study the potential pathogenetic relationship between PD and IBS.

Diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) is one of the most common chronic functional gastrointestinal diseases with limited treatments. Gut microbiota play an important role in chronic gastrointestinal diseases. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Spleen–Yang deficiency (SYD) is one of the root causes of IBS-D. Fuzi-Lizhong pill (FLZP) is well known for its powerful capacity for treating SYD and has a good clinical effect on IBS-D. However, the mechanism of FLZP on the gut microbiota of IBS-D has not been fully clarified. Our present study aimed to reveal the mechanism of FLZP regulating gut microbiota of IBS-D. The body mass, CCK, MTL, and Bristol fecal character score were used to verify the establishment of the IBS-D model. IL-6, TNF, IL-1β, and IFN-γ were crucial targets screened by network pharmacology and preliminarily verified by ELISA. Eighteen gut microbiota were important for the treatment of IBS-D with FLZP. Bacteroidetes, Blautia, Turicibacter, and Ruminococcus_torques_group were the crucial gut microbiota that FLZP inhibits persistent systemic inflammation in the IBS-D model. Lactobacillus is the crucial gut microbiota that FLZP renovates intestinal immune barrier in the IBS-D model. In summary, FLZP can affect bacterial diversity and community structures in the host and regulate inflammation and immune system to treat IBS-D.
