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.

Background: Dexlansoprazole has been shown to be efficacious for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease. However, there is a paucity of data about its efficacy for Helicobacter pylori eradication. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of dexlansoprazole for H. pylori eradication as triple therapy in real-world practice. Methods: Adult patients with endoscopically proven H. pylori related peptic ulcer diseases or gastritis were recruited for this study. The eradication status was assessed based on the results of the 13C-urea breath test performed 4 weeks after treatment. According to the different treatment regimens, the patients were allocated to group A: Esomeprazole 40 mg b.i.d. + amoxicillin 1 g b.i.d. + clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d. for 7 days; group B: Esomeprazole 40 mg q.d. + amoxicillin 1 g b.i.d. + clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d. for 7 days, or group C: Dexlansoprazole 60 mg q.d. + amoxicillin 1 g b.i.d. + clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d. for 7 days. Results: A total of 215 patients (49% males) were enrolled in this study, with a mean age of 55 years. The eradication rates in group A, B, and C were 94.7% (71/75), 89.6% (69/77), and 93.7% (59/63) ( p = 0.457), respectively. The adverse events were similar between the three groups ( p = 0.068). Conclusions: This study suggests that dexlansoprazole-based triple therapy has an acceptable eradication rate for H. pylori infection.

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.

BACKGROUND Considering the importance of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication, this clinical trial was designed to prospectively evaluate the efficacy of levofloxacin-based, sequential therapy in comparison with quadruple therapy for eradicating H. pylori. METHODS Overall 156 patients with dyspepsia and H. pylori infection were included in this study and were randomly allocated to either 10-day sequential therapy group (group A) to receive pantoprazole (40 mg twice daily), amoxicillin (1 gr twice daily), levofloxacin (500 mg twice daily), and tinidazole (500 mg twice daily) (PALT) or 14-day quadruple therapy group (group B) to receive pantoprazole, clarithromycin, bismuth subcitrate, and amoxicillin (PABC). At the end of the study the eradication rate in each group was assessed by urea breath test (UBT). RESULTS Age range of the participants was 18-65 years (average 36.9 years) and 50% of them (78 patients) were men. 78 patients were allocated to group A and 78 patients to groupe B. After antibiotic therapy, all the patients received acid suppression therapy with Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) for 4 weeks and then the eradication rate was confirmed by UBT (Heli FAN plus 13C, Germany). Before performing UBT, all the participants were requested to halt consumption of PPI for at least 1 week. During the treatment there was not any major complication but in group A (sequential therapy), two patients complained of minor complications including musculoskeletal pain. None of the patients in group B had any complaint or side effect. The rate of H. pylori eradication in group A was 78.2% (61 patients) while this rate in group B was 83.3% (65 patients) with no significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.42). In subgroup analysis, the rate of eradication among men in group A and B were 76.9% and 89.7%, respectively (p = 0.22) while the eradication rate among women were 79.4% and 76.9%, respectively (p = 1.00). CONCLUSION It seems that levofloxacin base sequential therapy does not have any advantage in comparison with quadruple regimen and until finding any more effective short course therapy for H. Pylori eradication; we encourage quadruple regimen to be used as the first line therapy.


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.

Helicobacter pylori eradication is the mainstay in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori associated peptic ulcer disease. Furazolidone was tried in several developing countries and showed good results in some trials. Increasing the duration of treatment has been shown to improve the eradication rate. This study was done to compare the efficacy of triple therapy for two weeks (Group–A) and three weeks (Group–B) consisting of omeprazole 20 mg b.d. amoxicillin 1gm b.d. and furazolidone 200 mg b.d. in the eradication of Helicobacter pylori in duodenal ulcer patient. A total of 70 duodenal ulcer patients with Helicobacter pylori infection were included in the study. Healing of duodenal ulcer was assessed three months after the end of treatment and at the same time Helicobacter pylori eradication assessed by Campylobacter Like Organism (CLO) test and histology. In group–A, duodenal ulcer was healed in 17(58.62%) patients and Helicobacter pylori was eradicated in 15(52%) patients. In group-B, duodenal ulcer was healed in 19(61.30%) patients and Helicobacter pylori was eradicated in 18(58%) patients. Healing of duodenal ulcer was not significantly different between two groups. Eradication of Helicobacter pylori was also not significantly different between two groups. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bmrcb.v37i3.9118 BMRCB 2011; 37(3): 83-87

BACKGROUND: Optimal anti-Helicobacter pylori treatment has not yet been established. AIM: To evaluate H. pylori eradication using tetracycline and furazolidone versus amoxicillin and azithromycin in lansoprazole based triple therapy in northeastern of Brazil. PATIENTS AND METHODS: One hundred and four patients with H. pylori infection, as determined by rapid urease testing and histology, were randomly assigned to receive either: lansoprazole (30 mg q.d.), tetracycline (500 mg q.i.d.), and furazolidone (200 mg t.i.d.) for 7 days (LTF; n = 52); or lansoprazole (30 mg b.i.d.) and amoxicillin (1 g b.i.d.) for 1 week, plus azithromycin (500 mg q.d.) for the first 3 days (LAAz; n = 52). H. pylori eradication was assessed 3 months following completion of therapy by means of rapid urease testing, histology and a 14C-urea breath test. RESULTS: H. pylori eradication was achieved in 46 of 52 (88.4%, 95% CI: 77.5%-95.1%) patients in LTF group and in 14 of 52 (26.9%, 95% CI: 16.2%-40,1%) patients in LAAz group. On a per-protocol analysis, eradication rates were 91.8% (95% CI: 81.4%-97.3%) and 28.5% (95% CI: 17.2%-42.3%), respectively in LTF and LAAz groups. CONCLUSION: The LAAz regimen yielded unacceptably low eradication rates. On the other hand, the LTF scheme represents a suitable alternative for H. pylori eradication.

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.

Abstract Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication therapy may lead to the perturbation of gut microbiota. The role of probiotics in gut microbiota during eradication therapy is still debated. Design: This was a multicentre, open-label, randomised trial done at seven hospitals in China. 162 patients were enrolled, 79 patients were randomly divided into group A (bismuth quadruple therapy), and 83 patients were randomly subjected into group B (bismuth quadruple therapy supplemented with Medilac-S). Faecal samples were collected before treatment and 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, and 8 weeks after eradication therapy. Gut microbiota was analyzed by 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing. This trial is complete and registered with Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (Chictr.org.cn, ChiCTR1900022116). Results: The eradication rates of group A and group B were 82.43% and 87.01%, respectively (P>0.05). Compared with baseline, alpha and beta diversity was significantly altered 2 weeks after eradication in both group A and group B, which was restored at week 8. There were no significant differences in alpha and beta diversity between the two groups. Bismuth quadruple therapy resulted in enrichment of some detrimental bacteria taxa such as Klebsiella and Streptococcus that were not recovered by week 8. Probiotics supplementation could rapidly restore the taxa levels of Klebsiella and Streptococcus by week 4 after eradication, and increase the beneficial taxa of Bacillus and Lactobacillales. Functional analysis revealed that lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis and polymyxin resistance pathways were significantly enriched after eradication therapy, while probiotics supplementation mainly enriched the cofactors and vitamins metabolism pathways. Several detrimental taxa were identified to be correlated with features of older age, alcohol use and high BMI, while probiotics supplementation could effectively restore the adverse impact in patients with these characteristics.Conclusion: Probiotics supplementation is beneficial for patients during H. pylori eradication, especially for patients with older age, alcohol drinking, and obesity, which might obtain the maximum benefits.

The oral cavity has been proposed as a reservoir for H. pylori that could be responsible for the refractoriness of gastric infection to triple therapy (antibiotics, antimicrobials, and proton pump inhibitors). The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of combined periodontal and triple therapy vs. triple therapy alone, in gastric H. pylori eradication in persons with H. pylori in the subgingival biofilm. Individuals positive for H. pylori in their gastric and oral samples, as determined by nested PCR, were treated either with periodontal and triple therapy or with triple therapy alone. Our results indicate that 77.3% of those treated with the combined therapy exhibited successful eradication of gastric H. pylori, compared with 47.6% who underwent only triple therapy. Analysis of these data suggests that periodontal treatment in combination with systemic therapy could be a promising approach to increasing the therapy’s efficacy and decreasing the risk of infection recurrence.
