Objective: To determine the syndrome of excessive bacterial growth in the small intestine (SIBO) in patients with insufficiency of the bauhinia valve (NBZ) and after its surgical correction. Methods of examination: Patients of the studied groups were examined using direct and indirect methods of diagnosis of SIBO. Bacteriological examination of ileal aspirate and other surgical material was performed. All patients underwent a hydrogen respiratory test with a load of lactulose and performed a qualitative reaction of urine to indican. Characteristics of the material: 50 patients were examined, of which 30 were included in the main group, who underwent surgical correction of NBZ - Bauginoplasty; 20 patients are included in the control group in which the ileocecal valve is consistent. Patients of the main group were examined before surgery and on the 7th and 45th day after Bauhinoplasty. Main results: All patients of the main group had SIBS of varying severity, in 80% of patients SIBS was localized in the distal small intestine. Patients with normal function of ileocecal valve syndrome of excessive bacterial growth did not suffer. Intraoperatively, 76% of patients showed signs of mesenteric mesentery of the small intestine, and the fact of bacterial translocation in SIBO was also confirmed. After 7 days after surgical correction of the Bauhinia valve, the normalization of peak and background excretion of hydrogen was observed in 37% of patients. For 45 days in all patients the hydrogen curve corresponded to the norm. Conclusions: the deficiency of the bauhinia valve is obligately accompanied by the syndrome of excessive bacterial growth in the small intestine, surgical correction is an effective method for correcting the syndrome of excessive bacterial growth in patients with NBD.

The aim of the study was to study the course and clinical manifestations of chronic gastroduodenal pathology (CGDP) in schoolchildren.Materials and methods. Clinically examined 286 children and adolescents from 6 to 15 years old with СGDP. The research methods included collection of anamnestic data, instrumental and functional (esophagogastroduodenoscopy, pH-metry), clinical and laboratory (general blood analysis, coprology), and Helicobacter pylori infection was tested by respiratory test and fecal immunochromatographic test.Result. Studies have shown that the main clinical manifestations of СGDP in children were dyspeptic syndrome, vegetovascular dysfunction, and pain syndrome, against the background of objectively visible signs of anemia. Symptoms were more characteristic in patients with СGDP from vegetovascular dysfunction: loss of appetite (83.6%), fatigue (83.2%), recurrent headaches (62.2%), and sleep disturbances (59.1%). Among dyspeptic disorders, unstable stools (85%), periodic nausea (57.7%), belching (56.6%), and a feeling of heaviness in the epigastric region after eating (56.3%) prevailed. Clinical symptoms more pronounced in children with chronic gastritis.Conclusion. For schoolchildren with CGDP, vegetovascular dysfunction (98.9%) with severe dyspeptic disorders (100%) and pain (79%), against the background of objective signs of anemia (53%), is more characteristic. In adolescents is more often a less symptomatic.

Recent data suggest that the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection in Romania has been declining in the last 30 years. However, there are no studies regarding HP prevalence among medical students. The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence of HP infection and assess the prevalence of dyspepsia in medical students and the relationship between dyspepsia and infection. We included 150 students from the Iuliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Cluj-Napoca, Romania (102 females and 48 males, mean age 21 years). Each student completed a lifestyle questionnaire, personal history, family history as well as the Rome IV questionnaire for functional dyspepsia. The status of HP infection was determined using the C13-urea respiratory test. The prevalence of HP infection was 25.33%, and 18% met the Rome IV criteria for functional dyspepsia. 37% of students with functional dyspepsia had a positive HP test. Of all students, 8% had a history of HP infection. Those with a history of HP infection had a 4.45% (95% CI 1.6 – 12.37) higher risk of having positive Rome IV criteria for functional dyspepsia than those with no previous history of infection (p=0.008). Thus, the present study adds to the body of evidence regarding HP prevalence among medical students, 25.33% being positive. We found no statistically significant correlation between HP infection and functional dyspepsia. Those with a history of HP infection had a higher risk of functional dyspepsia.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the probiotic containing Lactobacillus acidophilus and Kefir grains (Acipol®) in the complex therapy of chronic gastroduodenal diseases with a syndrome of excessive bacterial growth in children aged 6 to 17 years.We observed 43 children with chronic gastroduodenal diseases associated with Helicobacter pylori infection, accompanied by a syndrome of excessive bacterial growth. Patients were divided into 2 groups: 1 group comprised 28 children who received Acipol 2 weeks on a background of standard therapy, and 2 group (15 people) received standard therapy without Acipol. All children  of both groups were assessed pain index, dyspeptic index, hydrogen respiratory test with lactulose, quantitative PCR in feces before treatment, after 2 weeks, after 6 weeks.After 2 weeks, there was a significant decrease in pain index and dyspeptic index in group 1, by 6 weeks this decline continued. The hydrogen breathing  test with lactulose, conducted after 2 weeks, became negative in group 1 in 13 children (46%), and was preserved in 15 (54%). The same result was noted after 6 weeks. That is, elimination of the syndrome of excessive bacterial growth was achieved in 43% of children against the background of Acipol.

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the standard procedure for feeding severely dysphagic patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It is associated with prolonged survival and improvement in quality of life. Nasal inspiratory pressure during a sniff (SNIP) is a respiratory test used extensively in ALS for the assessment of inspiratory muscle strength. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of SNIP at baseline to predict PEG placement in ALS. Data from a clinical incident cohort of 179 ALS cases attending the multidisciplinary ALS unit of the University of Bari between April 2006 and December 2012 were retrospectively analysed. At baseline, patients underwent detailed neurological, nutritional and respiratory assessments, including measurements of SNIP and forced vital capacity (FVC). Patients were therefore followed up approximately every three to six months until they were able to attend the centre. The censoring date for the survival analysis was 15 April 2014, with PEG placement as the main outcome. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to examine the association between SNIP and PEG placement, adjusted for possible confounders. During the follow-up period, 75 participants (42%) received PEG implant. PEG placement was more frequent (57% vs. 31%; p = 0.001) and earlier (after 11.6 ± 14.0 months from the first visit, vs. 23.3 ± 15.5 months; p < 0.0001) in the group of patients with baseline SNIP ≤ 40 cm H2O. Baseline SNIP was a predictor of PEG placement even after correction for multiple potential confounders (HR 0.98; 95% CI: 0.96–0.99; p = 0.02). To conclude, the present study showed that SNIP at baseline is an early indicator of disease progression and therefore of the need for enteral nutrition in ALS.
