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. 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.

Background. As part of an observational multicenter prospective study European Registry on the management of Helicobacter pylori infection, conducted on the initiative of the European H. pylori and Microbiota Study Group, the compliance of clinical practice in the management of patients with Helicobacter pylori infection in Kazan with clinical guidelines was assessed. Materials and methods. The data of 437 patients included into the register by clinical sites in Kazan in 20132019 were analyzed. The methods used for the initial diagnosis of H. pylori infection and eradication control were evaluated. The frequency of various eradication therapy regimens prescription was analyzed in 379 cases. Data regarding the effectiveness of eradication therapy was analyzed in 173 patients. Results. The rapid urease test (44.2% of cases) and cytology/histology (60% of cases) were most often used for the initial diagnosis of H. pylori infection; however non-invasive methods such as 13C-urea breath (9.2%), serology (6.2%), H. pylori stool antigen test (2.3%) were less common. In 21.7% of patients two methods of H. pylori detection were used for primary diagnosis. The control test to evaluate the effectiveness of eradication therapy at the recommended timepoint was performed in 46.2% of patients. 13C-urea breath test (31.7%), stool PCR/stool antigen test (28.7%), rapid urease test (22.3%), cytology/histology (26.2% of cases) prevailed in the assessment of eradication rate. Standard triple therapy, including proton pump inhibitor, clarithromycin and amoxicillin was most commonly prescribed as first-line therapy (64.6% of cases). The duration of eradication therapy was 14 days in the majority of cases with pantoprazole as the most common proton pump inhibitor in standard triple therapy regimens (84.8%). The efficacy of 14-day standard triple therapy (mITT) was 87.0%. Conclusion. The results indicate a high frequency of non-invasive methods use for assessing the effectiveness of eradication therapy; however, the overall rate of eradication efficacy assessment is low, limiting the possibility of analyzing the eradication results. The effectiveness of the most common 14-day standard triple first-line therapy in Kazan doesnt reach the recommended 90% eradication level. This could be explained by high rate of pantoprazole use, which is not an optimal proton pump inhibitor in eradication therapy regimens.

There is intimate connection between peptic ulcer & Helicobacter pylori infection. But some uncertainties still surround the relationship between status of H. pylori infection and extent & time required for ulcer healing. This prospective observational study was carried out in the department of Gastroenterology, BSMMU, Dhaka from January 2007 to January 2008 to determine whether the successful eradication of H. pylori leads to adequate ulcer healing. To see the pattern of endoscopic findings in patients still having H. pylori infection after standard triple therapy for H. pylori were also a objective. Eighty nine consecutive patients, aged 15-60 years and of both genders, coming to the gastroenterology outpatient department with the symptoms suggestive of peptic ulcer disease and dyspepsia were included and H. pylori status was defined as positive if both rapid urease test & histopathology were positive. As found in this study, H. pylori was associated with 90% of duodenal ulcers and 80% of gastric ulcers. H. pylori eradication rate was 69%. Healing rate of duodenal ulcer and gastric ulcer after standard triple therapy for 14 days were 80% and 78% respectively. Adequate ulcer healing was achieved in this study despite relatively low eradication rate. Follow-up for additional period is required for recurrence of ulcer in 84 patients whose peptic ulcer disease had resolved but could not attain H. pylori eradication and H. pylori eradicated patients who are still having ulcer at endoscopy DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bmj.v43i2.21388 Bangladesh Med J. 2014 May; 43 (2): 84-89

Background: Helicobacter pylori colonization is a risk factor for Adenocarcinomas of the distal (noncardia) stomach. The presence of Helicobacter pylori is strongly associated with primary gastric lymphoma. The urea breath test, the stool antigen test, and biopsy-based tests can all be used to assess the success of treatment. Helicobacter pylori is susceptible to a wide range of antibiotics in vitro, monotherapy is not usually successful, probably because of inadequate antibiotic delivery to the colonization niche. Current regimens consist of a PPI or H2 blocker, bismuth citrate and two or three antimicrobial agents given for 7-14 days. Research on optimizing drug combinations to increase efficacy continues. Efficacy of Sequential Therapy versus Standard Triple Therapy versus Quinolone-based Triple Therapy for eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection is done in this study.Methods: This study had been conducted on 150 patients divided into three groups randomly 50 Patients each and were treated with Sequential, Standard and Quinolone based triple therapy respectively. Patients were followed up no sooner than four weeks of completing therapy by rapid urease test to confirm eradication.Results: There was no significant difference with regards to presence of GERD, Gastric Ulcers, Duodenal Ulcers (p value>0.05) except for presence of erosive gastritis which was significantly higher in patients in quinolone group (p value<0.05). The eradication rate was 90%, 86%, 82% in Sequential therapy group, Triple therapy group and Fluroquinolone group respectively. However, there was no statistically significant difference in eradication rates in these groups (p value>0.05).Conclusions: Sequential therapy group had better eradication rates (90%) as compared to standard triple therapy group (86%) and fluroquinolone therapy group (82%) but results were not statistically significant when all three groups were compared together.

Objective. Antimicrobial resistance has decreased eradication rates forHelicobacter pyloriinfection worldwide. To observe the effect of eradicatingHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori)and the treatment of duodenal ulcer by 2 kinds of modified sequential therapy through comparing with that of 10-day standard triple therapy.Methods. A total of 210 patients who were confirmed in duodenal ulcer active or heal period by gastroscopy andH. pyloripositive confirmed by rapid urease test, serum anti-H. pyloriantibody (ELASE), or histological examination enrolled in the study. All the patients were randomly divided into three groups: group A (70 cases) and group B (70 cases) were provided 10-day modified sequential therapy; group C (70 cases) was provided 10-day standard triple therapy. Patients of group A received 20 mg of Esomeprazole, 500 mg of Clarithromycin for the first 5 days, followed by 20 mg of Esomeprazole, 500 mg of Clarithromycin, and 1000 mg of Amoxicillin for the remaining 5 days. Group B received 20 mg of Esomeprazole, 1000 mg of Amoxicillin for the first 5 days, followed by 20 mg of Esomeprazole, 500 mg of Clarithromycin, and 1000 mg of Amoxicillin for the remaining 5 days. Group C received 20 mg of Esomeprazole, 500 mg of Clarithromycin, and 1000 mg of Amoxicillin for standard 10-day therapy. All drugs were given twice daily.H. pylorieradication rate was checked four to eight weeks after taking the medicine by using a13C urea breath test. In the first, second, third, seventh, twenty-first, thirty-fifth days respectively, the symptoms of patients such as epigastric gnawing, burning pain, and acidity were evaluated simultaneously.Results. Overall, 210 patients accomplished all therapy schemes, 9 case patients were excluded. The examination result indicated that theH. pylorieradication rate of each group was as follows: group A 92.5% (62/67), group B 86.8% (59/68), and group C 78.8% (52/66). TheH. pylorieradication rate of group A was slightly higher than group B (P<0.05) and both of them were obviously higher than group C (P<0.05). Modified sequential therapy was significantly more effective in patients with clarithromycin-resistant strains (80%/67% versus 31%;P=0.02). Symptoms improvement: all the three groups could improve the symptoms such as epigastric gnawing, burning pain, and acidity since the first day. There was no significant difference in total score descending of symptoms between each group (P>0.05).Conclusions. All the three therapy schemes could alleviate symptoms of duodenal ulcer patients in China efficiently. But as far as eradicatingH. pyloriis concerned, the modified sequential therapy was better than standard triple therapy, especially the therapy scheme used in group A.

Aims. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection have a higher incidence of gastroduodenal diseases and therefore are recommended to receive eradication therapies. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a 7-day standard triple therapy in patients with CKD (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) and to investigate the clinical factors influencing the success of eradication. Methods. A total of 758 patients with H. pylori infection receiving a 7-day standard first-line triple therapy between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2014, were recruited. Patients were divided into two groups: CKD group (N=130) and non-CKD group (N=628). Results. The eradication rates attained by the CKD and non-CKD groups were 85.4% and 85.7%, respectively, in the per-protocol analysis (p=0.933). The eradication rate in CKD stage 3 was 84.5% (82/97), in stage 4 was 88.2% (15/17), and in those who received hemodialysis was 87.5% (14/16). There were no significant differences in the various stages of CKD (p=0.982). The adverse events were similar between the two groups (3.1% versus 4.6%, p=0.433). Compliance between the two groups was good (100.0% versus 99.8%, p=0.649). There was no significant clinical factor influencing the H. pylori eradication rate in the non-CKD and CKD groups. Conclusions. This study suggests that the H. pylori eradication rate and adverse rate in patients with CKD are comparable to those of non-CKD patients.


Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) is one of the most common infectious human pathogens, which infected more than (50%) of the populations worldwide. H. pylori induce inflammation, which causes of upper gastrointestinal illnesses including dyspepsia, peptic ulcer diseases, gastroesophageal reflux disease and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. It is important to use a greatly effective and better tolerated eradication regimen. In this study, fifty newly diagnosed adult patients with H. pylori infection were included, they were allocated into two groups with two different treatment regimens for H. pylori eradications; Group A (25 patients) received oral conventional clarithromycin-triple therapy for 14 days. Group B (25 patients) received oral moxifloxacin triple therapy for 14 days. The results reported in this study indicated a significant higher eradication rate of triple moxifloxacin regimen (80%) of patients with H. pylori infections compared to that of triple clarithromycin regimen (52%). In the present study, using different H.pylori eradication regimens for patients with different age groups demonstrated no statistically significant differences in eradication rate achieved (p< 0.05). The result of this study showed that triple moxifloxacin therapy produced a significant higher eradication rate than clarithromycin triple therapy among normal weight patients with H. pylori infection (100% and 50% respectively (p=0.032)), while there was no significance difference among overweight and obese patients (p< 0.05) between the two groups. The present study concluded that the administration of moxifloxacin triple regimen for H. pylori eradication, demonstrated eradication effectiveness was significantly higher compared to that of clarithromycin triple regimen.
