Aim. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of the synbioticBifidobacterium lactisB94 plus inulin addition to the standard triple therapy onHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori)infection eradication rates.Methods. Children aged 6–16 years who had biopsy provenH. pyloriinfection were randomly classified into two groups. The first group received the standard triple therapy consisting of amoxicillin + clarithromycin + omeprazole. The second group was treated with the standard triple therapy andBifidobacterium lactisB94 (5 × 109 CFU/dose) plus inulin (900 mg) for 14 days, concurrently. Eradication was determined by14C-urea breath test 4–6 weeks after therapy discontinuation.Results. From a total of 69H. pyloriinfected children (F/M = 36/33; mean ± SD = 11.2 ± 3.0 years), eradication was achieved in 20/34 participants in the standard therapy group and 27/35 participants in the synbiotic group. The eradication rates were not significantly different between the standard therapy and the synbiotic groups [intent-to-treat, 58.8% and 77.1%, resp.,p= 0.16; per-protocol, 64.5% and 81.8%, resp.,p= 0.19]. There was no difference between the groups in terms of symptom relief (p= 0.193). The reported side effects were ignorable.Conclusion. Considering the eradication rates, synbiotic addition to therapy showed no superiority over the standard triple therapy conducted alone. This trial is registered withNCT03165253.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) gastric infection is a main cause of inflammatory changes and gastric cancers. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was finding the effects of curcumin on oxidative stress and histological changes in chronic gastritis associated with H. pylori. METHODS In a randomized clinical trial, patients were divided into two groups: a standard triple therapy group and triple therapy with curcumin group. Endoscopic and histological examinations were measured for all patients before and after 8 weeks. RESULTS Triple therapy with curcumin treatment group significantly decreased malondialdehyde markers, glutathione peroxides and increased total antioxidant capacity of the gastric mucosa at the end of study compared to baseline and triple regimen groups. In addition, the oxidative damage to DNA was significantly decreased in triple therapy with curcumin group at the end of study compared to baseline and compared to triple therapy (P<0.05 for both). Triple therapy group in combination with Curcumin significantly decreased all active, chronic and endoscopic inflammation scores of patients compared to the baseline and triple therapy group (P<0.05 for both). The eradication rate by triple therapy + curcumin was significantly increased compared to triple therapy alone (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Curcumin can be a useful supplement to improve chronic inflammation and prevention of carcinogenic changes in patients with chronic gastritis associated by H. pylori.

Objective: Helicobacter pylori is the primary agent causing peptic ulcer, therefore imposing a significant impact on health elated quality of life, consequently affecting nearly 50% of global population. The objective of this study is to determine and assess the effectiveness of triple therapy versus bismuth containing quadruple therapy for eradication of peptic ulcer disease due to H. pylori. Methods: A prospective randomized observational study was conducted at Princess Esra Hospital, Department of Gastroenterology for a period of 6 months. A total of 100 patients were randomly allocated in tow groups. The data were assessed using various parameters. H. pylori eradication was validated using rapid urease test done at the start treatment 4 weeks after the completion. Results: A total of 100 patients were recruited in the study. In triple therapy group medication adherence rate was found to be 82% in triple and 92% in quadruple therapy. The eradication rate was assessed using Chi-square test it was 82% and 97% in triple and quadruple therapy group, respectively. Hence, the difference was found to be statistically significant value <0.005. In addition, increased recurrence rate has been observed in triple therapy (17%) in contrast with quadruple therapy (2%). Conclusion: Addition of bismuth to significant triple therapy improves cure rates with minimal side effects. Interestingly, we observed that when bismuth was added, it produced a significant higher eradication rate (97%) when compared with standard triple therapy (82%). According to our study, bismuth is highly effective treatment of peptic ulcer disease.

Helicobacter pylori eradication rate with conventional standard therapy is decreasing owing to antibiotic resistance, necessitating novel antibacterial strategies against H. pylori. We evaluated the efficacy of a gentamicin-intercalated smectite hybrid (S-GM)-based treatment and analyzed fecal microbiome composition in H. pylori-infected mice. To evaluate anti-H. pylori efficacy, mice were divided into eight groups, and H. pylori eradication was assessed by a Campylobacter-like organism (CLO) test and PCR assay of H. pylori in gastric mucosa. One week after H. pylori eradication, pro-inflammatory cytokine levels and atrophic changes in gastric mucosa were examined. Stool specimens were collected and analyzed for microbiome changes. The S-GM-based triple regimen decreased bacterial burden in vivo, compared with that in untreated mice or mice treated with other regimens. The therapeutic reactions in the CLO test from gastric mucosa were both 90% in the standard triple therapy and S-GM therapy group, respectively. Those of H. pylori PCR in mouse gastric mucosa were significantly lower in standard triple therapy and S-GM therapy groups than in the non-treatment group. Toxicity test results showed that S-GM therapy reduced IL-8 level and atrophic changes in gastric mucosa. Stool microbiome analysis revealed that compared with mice treated with the standard triple therapy, mice treated with the S-GM therapy showed microbiome diversity and abundant microorganisms at the phylum level. Our results suggested that S-GM is a promising and effective therapeutic agent against H. pylori infection.

Introduction: Helicobacter pylori eradication remains a problematic issue. We are in an urgent need for finding a treatment regimen that achieves eradication at a low cost and less side effect. Recent published results showing a high rate of resistance and with clarithromycin-based treatment regimens. The aim of the study was to compare moxifloxacin therapy and classic clarithromycin triple therapy in H. pylori eradication. Methods: This was a pilot study that enrolled 60 patients with helicobacter pylori associated gastritis. Diagnosis was done by assessment of H. pylori Ag in the stool. The patients were randomly assigned to receive either moxifloxacin based therapy (Group A), or clarithromycin based therapy (Group B) for two weeks. We stopped the treatment for another two weeks then reevaluation for cure was done. Results: 90 % of patients had negative H. pylori Ag in the stool after 2 weeks of stoppage of the treatment in group A versus 66.7 % in Group B. None of the patients in both groups had major side effects. Conclusion: Moxifloxacin-based therapy showed higher eradication power and less resistance when compared to clarithromycin triple therapy.

Aim. To compare 10-day standard triple therapy versus sequential therapy as first-line treatment in patients infected withH. pylori.Methods. One hundredH. pyloripositive patients (diagnosed by rapid urease test and histology), with average age of 47.2, M/F = 28/72, were randomized to receive either standard triple treatment (TT) as follows: lansoprazole 30 mg, clarithromycin 500 mg, and amoxicillin 1 g, b.i.d. for ten days, or sequential treatment (ST) as follows: lansoprazole 30 mg, amoxicillin and placebo 1.0 g b.i.d for the first five days, followed by lansoprazole 30 mg, clarithromycin 500 mg, and tinidazole 500 mg b.i.d, for the remaining five days. Eradication rates were determined 60 days after treatment by urease, histology, or13C-urea breath test.Results. In intention to treat (ITT) analysis, the rate ofH. pylorieradication in the TT and ST groups was the same for both regimens as follows: 86% (43/50), 95% CI 93,3 to 73.4%. In Per protocol (PP) analysis, the rate ofH. pylorieradication in the TT and ST groups was 87.8% (43/49), 95% CI 94,5 to 75.3% and 89.6% (43/48), 95% CI 95,8 to 77.3%, respectively.Conclusions. In Brazil, standard triple therapy is as equally effective as sequential therapy in eradicatingHelicobacter pyloripatients. This study was registered under Clinical Trials with numberISRCTN62400496.

Objective. To assess efficacy and safety of 14-day triple nifuratel-based therapy compared to 14-day standard triple therapy in adult patients with symptomatic H. pylori infection. Materials and Methods. A total of 70 patients with dyspepsia and microbiologically confirmed H. pylori infection were enrolled into the open-label, randomized, comparative clinical trial. The study group (n = 35) received a 14-day triple nifuratel-based therapy: esomeprazole (20 mg BID), nifuratel (400 mg BID) and amoxicillin (1000 mg BID). The comparator group (n = 35) received 14-day conventional clarithromycinbased triple therapy: esomeprazole (20 mg BID), clarithromycin (500 mg BID) and amoxicillin (1000 mg BID). Eradication of H. pylori was assessed using stool antigen test. Results. Eradication rates for 14-day nifuratel-based triple therapy and 14-day clarithromycin-based triple therapy in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population were 82.9% and 74.3% (p = 0.561), respectively. In the per-protocol (PP) population, eradication rates were 90.6% and 89.7% (p = 1.00), respectively. Adverse events were reported in 17.1% of patients in the study group and 34.3% of patients in the comparator group (p > 0.05). Conclusions. The 14-day triple nifuratel-based therapy has demonstrated a high H. pylori eradication rate (above 90%). Nifuratel triple therapy may be considered as an alternative to clarithromycin-based triple therapy for patients with a history of the prior macrolide exposure or macrolide intolerance.

ABSTRACT Aim We aimed to evaluate the role of the addition of Bifidobacterium lactis-containing synbiotic to the triple therapy in the case of Helicobacter pylori eradication, the dyspeptic symptoms, and reducing the side effects of antibiotics. Materials and methods A total of 104 children aged between 5 and 17 years, who were histopathologically diagnosed with H. pylori were enrolled in this study, of whom 100 were included in the analysis. Patients were randomly classified into two groups. In the first group, 50 patients were administered amoxicillin + clarithromycin + lansoprazole for 14 days and B. lactis-containing synbiotic. In the second group, 50 patients were treated with the standard triple therapy. All patients were given information after completion of therapy. Results H. pylori eradication was achieved in 88% in group I who received standard therapy with additional synbiotic and 72% in group II (p = 0.046). The number of patients in the second group who suffered from abdominal pain between the 3rd and 14th day of the treatment was higher (p < 0.05). The addition of probiotics to the triple therapy significantly reduced the frequency of diarrhea, but no significant difference was detected in the frequency of metallic taste (p = 0.04, p = 0.418 respectively). Conclusion The addition of synbiotic to the triple therapy is effective for eradicating H. pylori infection in children and is usually helpful to reduce or eliminate dyspeptic symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. This study suggest that improved tolerance to the eradication treatment also reduces the treatment failure by adding probiotics and encourages the future study using probiotic supplementation in H. pylori treatment.

Chronic hepatitis C infection has created a huge burden of disease causing serious healtheffects. The combination therapy used to treat hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection includes Pegylatedinterferon and Ribavirin. As cholesterol biosynthesis plays a pivotal role in HCV replication, the use ofvarious statins has been associated with higher sustained viral response Objective: To compare theefficacy of atorvastatin plus pegylated interferon and ribavirin versus pegylated interferon and ribavirinalone in patients of chronic hepatitis C with genotype-3a Methods: This Randomized controlled trial wasconducted at outpatient department, Mayo Hospital Lahore for six months i.e. May to November 2017.After ethical approval, 60 patients of ages 25 to 55 years of either gender with chronic hepatitis C withgenotype 3a were included in the study. Informed consent was taken from all patients. Then patients wererandomly allocated into two groups “A” and “B” using random number table. Patients in Group A receivedstandard of care treatment for chronic hepatitis C i.e. pegylated interferon and ribavirin while the patientsin Group B also received tab atorvastatin along with the standard treatment. Patients were follow up for 4week. Blood samples were collected and HCV RNA detection. All this information were entered inproforma Results: In standard therapy group, the mean age of patients was 39.50±8.39years. Inatorvastatin plus standard therapy group, the mean age of patients was 34.30±6.78years. In standardtherapy group, there were 25 (83.3%) males and 5 (16.7%) females. In atorvastatin plus standard therapygroup, there were 16 (53.3%) males and 14 (46.7%) females. After 4 weeks, Rapid Virological Response(RVR) was achieved in 4 (13.3%) patients in standard therapy group while in 14 (46.7%) in atorvastatin plusstandard therapy group. The difference was significant (p<0.05) Conclusions: Atorvastatin incombination with Pegylated interferon and ribavirin have better efficacy as compared to Pegylatedinterferon & ribavirin alone in chronic hepatitis C-3a.

Purpose: This analysis evaluated whether the antiemetic efficacy of the NK1 receptor antagonist aprepitant (EMEND™, Merck, Whitehouse Station, NJ) plus standard antiemetics could be sustained for up to six cycles of cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Patients and Methods: Patients receiving cisplatin ≥ 70 mg/m2 were blindly assigned to receive one of the following three regimens: (1) aprepitant 375 mg 1 hour before cisplatin on day 1 and aprepitant 250 mg on days 2 to 5 (n = 35); (2) aprepitant 125 mg before cisplatin and aprepitant 80 mg on days 2 to 5 (n = 81); or (3) placebo before cisplatin on days 2 to 5 (n = 86). All groups received ondansetron 32 mg and dexamethasone 20 mg before cisplatin, and dexamethasone 8 mg on days 2 to 5. The primary end point was complete response (no emesis and no rescue therapy) over 5 days following cisplatin in up to six cycles. A cumulative probability analysis using a model for transitional probabilities was used to analyze the data. The aprepitant 375/250-mg regimen was discontinued early in light of new pharmacokinetic data. Results: In the first cycle, 64% of patients in the aprepitant group and 49% in the standard therapy group had a complete response. Thereafter, complete response rates for the aprepitant group were still 59% by cycle 6, but decreased to 34% by cycle 6 for the standard therapy group. Reasons for discontinuation were similar across treatment groups. Conclusion: Compared with patients who received standard therapy, those who received only the aprepitant regimen had better and more sustained protection against chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting over multiple cycles.
