ABSTRACT Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disorder with a prevalence of 20% in the United States and less than 5% in Asia. Untreated, GERD can result in a symptomatic burden to the patient, poor health-related quality of life, complications, such as esophageal stricture, Barrett’s esophagus, and esophageal adenocarcinoma, and a high direct and indirect cost to the healthcare system. Various pathophysiological mechanisms have been identified to explain the relationship between obesity and GERD, including a high prevalence of hiatal hernia and increased gastroesophageal pressure gradient. This study aimed to examine the association between obesity and GERD in Asia and America. Subjects and Method: This was meta-analysis and systematic review. The study was conducted by collecting articles from PubMed, Google Scholar, BMC Journals, Science Direct, Mendeley, and clinical key databases. Keywords used “Obesity” OR “HMI” AND “Gastroesophageal reflux disease” OR “GERD” AND “Effect obesity for GERD” AND “aOR”. The inclusion criteria were full text, using cross-sectional study design, and reporting adjusted odds ratio. The study population was adults who experienced GERD. Intervention was obesity. The study outcome was gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The articles were selected using PRISMA flow chart. The quantitative data were analyzed using random effect model run on Revman 5.3. Results: 5 studies were analyzed and reviewed for this study. Current study reported that obesity increased the risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (aOR= 2.04; 95% CI=1.42 to 2.92; p= 0.001). Conclusion: Obesity increases the risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Keywords: obesity, gastroesophageal reflux disease Correspondence: Alfiani Vivi Sutanto. Masters Program in Public Health.

Motility disorders are frequent in children with cerebral palsy. The prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease varies from the 15% to 75% in patients with cerebral palsy. Nissen fundoplication is the most used antireflux technique not without complications in this population. Our objective was to determine the frequency and the characteristics of the long-term functional and motility complications in patients with Nissen fundoplication and cerebral palsy. A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed. Data collection was acquired retrospectively with neurologic compromise between 2012 and 2017 in patients between 0 to 18 years old, with neurological impairment and Nissen fundoplication. 35 patients were included. Median age was 55 months (2-190). Gastroesophageal reflux disease was diagnosed in the 48%, in the 52% of this the diagnosis was clinical. It was performed by laparoscopic technique in the 91.4% of the cases gastrostomy was done in the same surgical time in 86% of the patients because of neurological impairment and risk of aspiration. In 25.7% (n = 9) there were functional and motor complications, Dumping syndrome (5.5%) accommodation disorders (11.4%) and recurrence of reflux (11.4%). Redo Nissen was required in the 8.5% of the patients (n = 3). In 75% of the patients with complications, gastrostomy was performed in the same surgical time. It could not be demonstrated that gastrostomy at the time of antireflux surgery was associated with greater frequency of complications.

Abstract Background: Patients clinical endoscopic phenotypes in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are classified as: Barrett's esophagus (BE), erosive esophagitis (EE) and non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (NERD). NERD are subclassified in Abnormal acid exposure (AAE) and Normal acid exposure (NAE) according to pH monitoring study. The aim of this study was to characterize genes involved in the pathophysiology and immune response of GERD.Methods: This is an observational and cross-sectional study. All patients with BE, EE, AAE, NAE and control group were subjected to a superior endoscopy (with biopsies of esophageal mucosa). The cytokine mRNA relative quantification of target genes was conducted by RT-PCR. Changes in gene expression were assessed of the genes associated with inflammation in each disease phenotype. Statistical analysis of differential gene expression was performed by using Dunn's Multiple Comparison non-parametric test. A p value < 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: A total of 82 patients were included and they were divided into the following groups: Group BE 16 (19.51%), Group EE 23 (28.04%), Group AAE 13 (15.86%), NAE (15.86%) and Control Group 17 (20.73%). When comparing with control group we found: patients with BE showed an increased expression of IL-8 (P<0.005) and higher levels of: IL-10 and MMP-3, MMP-9 as well; patients with EE had higher levels of IL-1B, IL-6 and IL-10 (P<0.005), patients with AAE showed an increased expression of Il-1B, Il-6, IFN-γ and TNF-α (P<0.005). AAE had a higher expression of Il-1B and TNF-α than NAE (P<0.005). Conclusions: This study demonstrates the differential expression of mediators of inflammation in the esophageal mucosa of patients in GERD endoscopic phenotypes. MMP3 could be implicated in damage to esophageal mucosa. IL-1B and TNF-α could be a differential diagnosis between AAE and NAE in the non-erosive phenotype from endoscopic biopsies.

ABSTRACT Background: Many studies reported the importance of exclusive breastfeeding for infants. However, there are many obstacles faced by lactating mothers to provide exclusive breastfeeding for their children. This study aimed to investigate the effect of secondary education on exclusive breastfeeding using a meta-analysis. Subjects and Method: Meta-analysis and systematic review were conducted by collecting articles from PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases. Keywords used exclusive breastfeeding” AND “secondary education” OR “education for breastfeeding” AND “cross sectional” AND “adjusted odd ratio”. The study population was postpartum mothers. Intervention was secondary education with comparison primary education. The study outcome was exclusive breastfeeding. The inclusion criteria were full text, using English or Indonesian language, and reporting adjusted odds ratio. The articles were selected by PRISMA flow chart. The quantitative data were analyzed using random effect model run on Revman 5.3. Results: 7 studies from Peru, China, Nigeria, Korea, Ireland, Sub-Sahara, and South Australia were met the inclusion criteria. There was high heterogeneity between groups (I2= 94%; p<0.001). This study reported that secondary education reduced exclusive breastfeeding, but it was statistically non-significant (aOR= 0.86; 95% CI= 0.60 to 1.24; p= 0.430). Conclusion: Secondary education reduced exclusive breastfeeding, but it was statistically non-significant.

The relationship between bruxism and tooth wear is contentious in the literature. The pathophysiological processes of tooth wear may be complicated by the relationship between bruxism and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The objective of this study was to evaluate the associations among bruxism, GERD, and tooth wear. Two complementary studies were performed: a case-control study to verify the linkage between GERD and bruxism and a cross-sectional study on the same cohort to establish the connection between GERD and tooth wear in bruxism patients. A cohort of 363 consecutive bruxism patients and 363 matched control participants were recruited. Gastroesophageal reflux disease was diagnosed in accordance with the Montreal criteria. Tooth wear was scored based on the index recommended by Smith and Knight. Logistic regression analyses were performed. After adjustment, GERD was identified as a risk factor of bruxism. Bruxism with reflux symptoms for extensive time-periods was associated with severe tooth wear for the whole dentition (odds ratio, 4.70, 95% confidence interval, 2.04–10.83). Increased odds ratios for severe tooth wear were also found in all tooth locations and palatal/lingual and occlusal/incisal surfaces of bruxism patients with GERD for extensive time-periods. In conclusion, strong associations were identified among bruxism, GERD, and tooth wear.
