Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the most used acid-inhibitory drugs, with a wide range of applications in the treatment of various digestive diseases. However, recently, there has been a growing number of digestive complications linked to PPIs, and several studies have indicated that the intestinal flora play an important role in these complications. Therefore, developing a greater understanding of the role of the gut microbiota in PPI-related digestive diseases is essential. Here, we summarize the current research on the correlation between PPI-related digestive disorders and intestinal flora and establish the altered strains and possible pathogenic mechanisms of the different diseases. We aimed to provide a theoretical basis and reference for the future treatment and prevention of PPI-related digestive complications based on the regulation of the intestinal microbiota.

Unalp-Arida A, Ruhl CE. Increasing gallstone disease prevalence and associations with gallbladder and biliary tract mortality in the US. Hepatology 2023; 77:1882-1895. [PMID: 36631004 DOI: 10.1097/hep.0000000000000264] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Accepted: 12/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS We examined gallbladder and biliary tract mortality predictors in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 1988-1994, with 31 years of linked mortality data, and gallstone disease prevalence trends and associations in NHANES 2017-March 2020 prepandemic data. APPROACH AND RESULTS In NHANES 1988-1994, 18,794 participants were passively followed for mortality, identified by death certificate underlying or contributing causes, by linkage to the National Death Index through 2019. In NHANES 2017-March 2020, gallstone disease history was ascertained from 9232 adults. During NHANES 1988-2019 follow-up (median, 23.3 y), 8580 deaths occurred from all causes and 72 deaths with gallbladder or biliary tract disease. In multivariable-adjusted analysis, older age, male sex, prediabetes or diabetes, and physical inactivity were associated with gallbladder and biliary tract mortality, and non-Hispanic Black and Mexican American race-ethnicity were inversely associated. Between 1988-1994 and 2017-March 2020, gallstone disease prevalence increased from 7.4% to 13.9% and gallbladder surgery from 6.0% to 11.6%. In 2017-March 2020 in multivariable-adjusted analysis, female sex, diabetes, liver disease, proton pump inhibitors, abdominal pain, increased age, BMI, and liver stiffness were associated with gallstone disease, and non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic Asian race and alcohol were inversely associated. CONCLUSIONS In the US population, gallstone disease prevalence doubled over 3 decades, possibly because of the worsening of metabolic risk factors and growth of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Gallbladder and biliary tract mortality and gallstone disease associations included factors such as prediabetes or diabetes, liver stiffness and proton pump inhibitors.

Abstract
Background: More and more studies are focusing on the adverse effects and damage caused by PPI abuse, we carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis for assessing whether the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) leads to hepato-biliary-pancreatic cancer. Methods: PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science were searched until 1 July 2022, 25 studies (17 case-control and 8 cohort studies; 2741853 individuals) included in this study. Pooled Odd Ratios (ORs) were used for random effect models. Sensitivity analysis and dose-response analysis, subgroup analysis were all conducted. Results: The aggregate OR of the meta-analysis was 1.69 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.42–2.01, p = 0.01) and heterogeneity (I2 = 98.9%, p < 0.001) was substantial. According to stratified subgroup analyses, the incidence of hepato-biliary-pancreatic cancer was associated, expect for study design, study quality and region. Risk of hepato-biliary-pancreatic cancer is highest when people is treated with normal doses of PPI. The risks decrease and become insignificant when the cumulative defined daily dose (cDDD) increases. Conclusion: The use of PPI may be associated with an increased risk of hepato-biliary-pancreatic cancer. Hence, caution is needed when using PPIs among patients with a high risk of hepato-biliary-pancreatic cancer.

[PMID: 35153765 PMCID: PMC8831324 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.813587] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2021] [Accepted: 12/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Gastric acid suppressants have a major impact on gut microbiome which in turn, may increase the risk of cholelithiasis, but epidemiological evidence remains unclear. We undertook this research to evaluate the association between regular use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2-receptor antagonists (H2RAs) with risk of cholelithiasis. Methods: Prospective cohort study included 477,293 UK residents aged 37–73 years from the UK Biobank. We included the participants reported PPI or H2RA use, and were free of cholelithiasis or cancer. We evaluated hazard ratios (HRs) of regular use of PPIs or H2RAs and risk of cholelithiasis adjusting for demographic factors, lifestyle habits, the presence of comorbidities, use of other medications, and clinical indications. Results: We identified 12,870 cases of cholelithiasis over a median follow-up of 8.1 years. Regular use of PPIs (HR 1.22 95% CI 1.16–1.29) or H2RAs (HR 1.16, 95% CI 1.05–1.28) was associated with an increased risk of cholelithiasis after confounding adjustment. There were no major differences among individual PPIs/H2RAs. The absolute risk of PPI-associated cholelithiasis was increased with the baseline predicted risk evaluated by known environmental and genetic risk factors (Risk differences in the lowest vs. the highest quartile: 1.37 vs. 4.29 per 1,000 person-years). Conclusion: Regular use of PPIs and H2RAs was associated with increased risk of cholelithiasis. Future prospective studies are required to confirm whether the observed associations are casual.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Biliary tract cancer is a group of highly aggressive malignant disorders, yet risk factors are poorly understood. In this study, we aim to assess whether prolonged use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) increases the risk of incident biliary tract carcinoma in a nation-wide population-based cohort in Sweden. APPROACH AND RESULTS Using nation-wide registries, we identified all adults who received maintenance PPIs (≥180 days) according to the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register from 2005 through 2012. Data on incident biliary tract cancer were retrieved from the Swedish Cancer, Death and Outpatient Registers. Risk of biliary tract cancer in persons who received PPI treatment was compared with the general population of the corresponding age, sex, and calendar year yielding standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) with 95% CIs. Of 738,881 PPI users (median follow-up of 5.3 years), 206 (0.03%) developed gallbladder cancer and 265 (0.04%) extrahepatic and 131 (0.02%) intrahepatic bile duct cancer corresponding to SIRs of 1.58 (95% CI, 1.37-1.81), 1.77 (95% CI, 1.56-2.00), and 1.88 (95% CI, 1.57-2.23), respectively. In sensitivity analyses restricted to persons without a history of gallstones or chronic liver or pancreatic diseases, SIRs were 1.36 (95% CI, 1.17-1.57) and 1.47 (95% CI, 1.19-1.80) for extra- and intrahepatic duct cancer, respectively. The risk remained higher than the corresponding general population with ≥5 years of PPIs use, ruling out confounding by indication. CONCLUSIONS In this study, long-term use of PPIs was associated with an increased risk of gallbladder, intrahepatic, and extrahepatic bile duct cancer compared with the general population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The occurrence of stones in the gallbladder or common bile duct and the symptoms and complications they cause is called gallstone disease. The symptoms of gallstone disease range from mild, nonspecific symptoms to a severe right quadrant abdominal pain. Characteristics of gallstone types in an Iranian population have not been well studied before and there are very limited studies on the demographic pattern of stone types in our country, so this study is one of the first studies on its kind on the epidemiology of gallstone types in Iran. As information on chemical components of the stone will help in the management and prevention of gallstones, in this study, we aimed to do chemical component analysis of gallstones including cholesterol, bilirubin, and calcium. Given the conflicting reports about the relationship between H. pylori infections and gallstone formation, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between H. pylori positivity in the bile specimen of Iranian patients with cholelithiasis and formation and type of stone. METHODS This prospective study reviewed a total of 196 patients who underwent cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholelithiasis at Shahid Beheshti Training and Research Hospital affiliated to the Yasuj University of Medical Sciences between September 2015 and May 2018. Chemical analysis of gallstone components performed using the colorimetry method. Microbiological analysis for H. pylori was done using the OnSite H. pylori Ag Rapid Test on the bile sample. For the validation test of bile, the H. pylori Rapid Stool Ag Test on stool was used, and Cohen's Kappa statistical analysis was done next. RESULTS There were significant associations between the stone types and age, chemical composition of the stones such as calcium, cholesterol, and bilirubin levels, and also H. pylori positivity and cholesterol and bilirubin levels; however, no significant association was found between the stone types and sex, H. pylori positivity and age, sex, stone types, and calcium level. The main bile and validity tests were matched to the substantial agreement according to Cohen's Kappa analysis. The most common drugs used were proton pump inhibitors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antihypertensive drugs, and oral contraceptives. CONCLUSIONS This study suggested that the chemical composition of the stones could predict the presence of bacteria, there is no correlation between H. pylori and gallstone formation, and some of the drugs could be predisposing factors for gallstones. This work provides an objective basis for further research into gallbladder stone formation; meanwhile, it has great significance in the treatment and prevention of gallbladder stones. Trial registration. The project was found to be in accordance to the ethical principles and the national norms and standards for conducting research in Iran with the approval ID IR.YUMS.REC.1399.147 and date 2020.09.23, and this project is the result of a residency dissertation to obtain the specialty in general surgery, which has been registered with the research project number 960159 in the Vice Chancellor for Research and Technology Development of the Yasuj University of Medical Sciences, Yasuj, Iran, URL: https://ethics.research.ac.ir/EthicsProposalViewEn.php?id=160634.

Abstract
Transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) was introduced in 2006 as a concerted effort to produce a natural orifice procedure for reflux. Since that time, the device, as well as the procedure technique, has evolved. Significant research has been published during each stage of the evolution, and this has led to considerable confusion and a co-mingling of outcomes, which obscures the results of the current device and procedure. This report is intended to review the identified stages and literature associated with each stage to date and to review the current state of treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction: While functional gallbladder disorder is a well-recognized and defined condition in adults, its pediatric analog, biliary dyskinesia, lacks uniformity in diagnosis. Yet, biliary dyskinesia is among the most common conditions resulting in cholecystectomy in youth and its frequency continues to rise. The primary aims of the current review were assess the efficacy of cholecystectomy in children diagnosed with biliary dyskinesia and the utility of cholescintigraphy in predicting outcomes. Results: All previous studies assessing outcomes in youth with biliary dyskinesia have been retrospective and therefore of low quality. There is a lack of uniformity in patient selection. Short term follow-up reveals partial response in 63.4-100% with complete resolution in 44.2-100%. Only 4 studies have reported long-term outcomes with complete symptom resolution in 44-60.7%. The published research generally indicates that the gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) as determined by cholescintigraphy lacks utility in predicting cholecystectomy outcome utilizing the commonly used cut-off values. There are data suggesting that more extreme cut-off values may improve the predictive value of GBEF. Conclusion: There is a lack of consensus on the symptom profile defining biliary dyskinesia in youth and current literature does not support the use of cholescintigraphy to select patients for cholecystectomy. There is a substantial portion of pediatric patients diagnosed with biliary dyskinesia who do not experience long-term benefit from cholecystectomy. Well-designed prospective studies of surgical outcomes are lacking. Increasing the uniformity in patient selection, including both symptom profiles and cholescintigraphy results, will be key in understanding the utility of cholecystectomy for this condition.

Abstract
Background Using a relaxant agent before an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) might reduce complications. Study Aims We aimed to investigate the relaxant effects of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on sheep sphincter of Oddi (SO) and the mechanisms that might take part in this relaxant effect. Patients and Methods The sheep SO was mounted in an organ bath filled with Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate solution under 1.5 g tension and the relaxant effects of PPIs were evaluated in the tissues precontracted by carbachol (10-6 mol/l). The relaxant responses to the PPIs were tested in the presence of various blockers to enlighten the underlying mechanism by the PPIs. Results The PPIs exerted relaxant responses in a concentration-dependent manner in the sheep SO (P < 0.05). Esomeprazole produced the strongest relaxation. The administration of atropine, indomethacin, L-NAME, methylene blue, clotrimazole, glibenclamide, and 4-aminopyridine into the organ baths did not change the relaxations induced by PPIs in vitro (P> 0.05). On the other hand, Ca+2-activated potassium channel blocker tetraethylammonium (TEA) reduced the relaxation responses created by PPIs (P < 0.05). Conclusions The present study suggests that PPIs create relaxation on SO partially via Ca+2-activated potassium channels. PPIs, especially esomeprazole, may be beneficial during the ERCP procedure. Further clinical studies are needed to confirm our results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Hepatobiliary Iminodiacetic Acid (HIDA) scan provides a technique to quantify gallbladder ejection fraction (EF) in patients suffering acalculous biliary colic (ACBC). We wished to evaluate the accuracy of EF in the prediction of gallbladder pathology in patients undergoing cholecystectomy. METHODS Data were retrieved from a database of patients referred for HIDA scan for ACBC, including EF and the pathological outcome of those undergoing cholecystectomy, and compared to normal values obtained from a review of related studies. Significant associations were demonstrated by chi-square, Mann-Whitney test, and linear regression. The predictive accuracy of different cut-offs of EF was demonstrated by the ROC curve analysis. RESULTS Of 83 patients referred for HIDA scan for ACBC, 41 underwent cholecystectomy. The median EF of this group (33%) was significantly lower than the composite normal median value from previous studies (56%). Thirty-two patients revealed evidence of gallbladder pathology. The EF declined with age (coefficient = -0.51, 95% CI = -0.99 to -0.33), but the median value did not differ between those with gallbladder pathology (34%) and those with normal gallbladders (29%). CONCLUSION/DISCUSSION Although an EF cut-off of 35% had the greatest accuracy in the prediction of pathology of those tested (0.56), the poor negative predictive value (23.5%) was a major contributor to its low accuracy. Although patients with ACBC have reduced gallbladder EF compared to the normal population, its quantitative assessment is of limited value in the prediction of gallbladder pathology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The focus of biliary dyskinesia (BD) shifted within the last 30 years, moving from symptoms after cholecystectomy (CCY) to symptoms with morphological normal gallbladder, but low gallbladder ejection fraction. METHODS We searched the pubmed database to systematically review studies focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of gallbladder dysfunction. RESULTS Impaired gallbladder contraction can be found in about 20% of healthy controls and an even higher number of patients with various other disorders. Surgery for BD increased after introduction of laparoscopic CCY, with BD now accounting for >20% of CCY in adults and up to 60% in pediatric patients. The majority of cases reported were operated in the USA, which differs from surgical series for cholelithiasis. Postoperative outcomes do not differ between groups with abnormal or normal gallbladder function. CONCLUSION Functional gallbladder testing should not be seen as an indicator of relevant biliary tract disease or prognostic marker to identify patients who may benefit from operative intervention. Instead biliary dyskinesia should be considered as a part of a spectrum of functional disorders, which are generally managed conservatively. Small proof of concept studies have demonstrated effects of medical therapy on biliary dysfunction and should thus be never tested in appropriately designed trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE After (90)Y-microsphere radioembolization for unresectable hepatic neoplasms, the nearby gallbladder is susceptible to radiation-induced cholecystitis, an uncommon complication. The purpose of this study was to characterize the imaging findings after (90)Y radioembolization of the gallbladder and to assess the incidence of clinically significant radiation-induced cholecystitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records were retrospectively reviewed for cholecystectomy after (90)Y treatment of 133 consecutively registered patients (76 men, 57 women; average age, 65 years). Thirty-four of the patients had primary and 99 had secondary liver neoplasms. The pretreatment and posttreatment cross-sectional images of 85 of the patients were available for review. RESULTS Clinically significant radiation-induced cholecystitis occurred in 1 of the 133 patients (0.8%). After radioembolization, gallbladder imaging abnormalities were found in 84 of 85 patients (99%), but none was associated with clinically significant radiation-induced cholecystitis. CONCLUSION The incidence of clinically significant radiation-induced cholecystitis was only 0.8% despite a high prevalence of gallbladder imaging abnormalities after (90)Y radioembolization. Therefore, in the postinterventional care of patients with abdominal pain after (90)Y radioembolization, even if imaging abnormalities of the gallbladder are identified, cholecystectomy should be reserved for patients in whom other causes of pain have been excluded.

Effects of proton pump inhibitors and h(2) receptor antagonists on the ileum motility. Gastroenterol Res Pract 2011; 2011:218342. [PMID: 22216022 PMCID: PMC3247876 DOI: 10.1155/2011/218342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2011] [Accepted: 09/24/2011] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives. To investigate the effects of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2 receptor antagonists on ileum motility in rats with peritonitis and compare changes with control group rats. Methods. Peritonitis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture in 8 rats. Another of 8 rats underwent a sham operation and were accepted as controls. Twenty-four hours later after the operation, the rats were killed, and their ileum smooth muscle was excised and placed in circular muscle direction in a 10 mL organ bath. Changes in amplitude and frequency of contractions were analyzed before and after PPIs and H2 receptor blockers. Results. PPI agents decreased the motility in a dose-dependent manner in ileum in both control and intraabdominal sepsis groups. While famotidine had no significant effect on ileum motility, ranitidine and nizatidine enhanced motility in ileum in both control and intraabdominal sepsis groups. This excitatory effect of H2 receptor antagonists and inhibitor effects of PPIs were significantly high in control group when compared to the peritonitis group. The inhibitor effect of pantoprazole on ileum motility was significantly higher than the other two PPI agents. Conclusions. It was concluded that H2 receptor antagonists may be more effective than PPIs for recovering the bowel motility in the intraabdominal sepsis situation.

Abstract
AIM Decreased gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) was reported in patients who had abdominal pain and gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. The study aims were to review pathology of GI tract in children with acalculous biliary-type abdominal pain and to evaluate the pain improvement after a 2-week trial of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). METHODS Children below 18 years of age with a history of biliary-type abdominal pain by ROME III criteria were evaluated. All underwent an upper endoscopy and their histologic findings of the proximal GI tract were reviewed. Responses to a 2-week trial of PPI and LC were analyzed. RESULTS Sixteen were identified with biliary-type abdominal pain with GBEF <35%. Endoscopic and histologic evidence of reflux esophagitis was observed in 11 children those of gastritis in 3 children. A GI pathology of these children is mostly acid-related and four of ten children experienced a complete response to PPIs and did not require LC. Nine children had LC; four had complete and four had partial pain improvement. CONCLUSION A trial of PPIs may be cost-effective prior to considering LC in these patients since four of ten children experienced a complete response to PPIs without the requirement of LC, compared with four of nine children who improved completely.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most widely used of prescription drugs. They have revolutionized the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease and other acid-related disorders. Although generally safe, concerns about possible adverse effects continue to arise. Some of these, such as gastric neoplasms, are of theoretical concern only and are related to suppression of gastric acid secretion and consequent hypergastrinemia; these have not been encountered in clinical practice despite millions of patient-years of use. Others are more idiosyncratic, unpredictable, and rare. In general, the therapeutic benefits of PPIs outweigh these potential risks. However, it is important that PPIs are only given for appropriate indications and that, whenever possible, they are used in the lowest effective dose. At present, there is no need for specific monitoring for adverse events during PPI therapy.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have revolutionized the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease and peptic ulcer disease over the past two decades. Among the most commonly prescribed agents worldwide, PPIs' overall safety profile is unquestionable. However, emerging evidence indicates that PPI therapy, particularly with long-term and/or high-dose administration, is associated with several potential adverse effects, including enteric infections (eg, Clostridium difficile), community-acquired pneumonia, and hip fracture, all of which have received much attention recently. We review the current data on these and other potential consequences of PPI therapy. More judicious use of PPIs (eg, administering them in no more than the minimum effective dose to older adult patients) may help to further limit the impact of some of these possible adverse effects.

Gastroparesis associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease and corresponding reflux symptoms may be corrected by radiofrequency ablation of the cardia and esophagogastric junction. Surg Endosc 2008; 22:2440-4. [PMID: 18437485 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-008-9873-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2007] [Revised: 08/21/2007] [Accepted: 11/28/2007] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Reflux is a common medical condition with symptoms ordinarily controlled using drug/medical therapy. However, 20% of patients experience unmanageable symptoms despite twice-daily (BID) proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. Growing clinical evidence shows that delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis) may be a factor associated with severe reflux, dyspepsia, or both. Gastroparesis, concomitant in 25% of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), has been shown to improve after Nissen fundoplication. Radiofrequency treatment for GERD potentially corrects GERD-associated gastroparesis and resultant PPI BID reflux failures. METHODS From July 2000 until July 2004, 227 patients undergoing Stretta for GERD were screened for gastric anomalies. Patients with gastroparesis, documented on a standardized nuclear gastric emptying scans, and patients with heartburn and regurgitation uncontrolled by PPI BID medications underwent radiofrequency ablation of the cardia and esophagogastric junction via the Stretta procedure. The patients had esophagogastroduodenoscopy and/or pH studies, manometry, solid-phase gastric emptying, and electrogastrography and completed standardized heartburn and health-related quality-of-life surveys before treatment, then 6 months afterward. Patients with pyloric obstruction and those taking motility agents were excluded from the study. Gastric emptying scans were repeated 6 months after Stretta. The nuclear radiologist was blinded to the study design. RESULTS At baseline, 31 patients were classified as abnormal. At 6 months after the procedure, emptying scores had improved significantly, with the percentage of solid food emptied at 90 min improved from 41% to 66% (p < 0.0001) and at 120 minutes from 55% to 84%. Significant improvements were seen at all intervals. Overall, 23 patients (74%) experienced normalization of gastric emptying, and 4 patients were improved but remained abnormal. Four patients showed no improvement on their gastric emptying scans, with one patient electing to undergo a Nissen procedure. All the patients had a 1-year symptom follow-up assessment, which showed significant improvements in GERD health-related quality of life, dyspepsia, and heartburn scores. CONCLUSIONS Radiofrequency treatment has been demonstrated to correct gastroparesis. Patients' symptoms improved significantly. The mechanism of action is unknown but may be related to reduction in transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs), increased esophagogastric junction barrier, decreased esophageal venting, alteration of the gastric pacemaker function in the region of radiofrequency therapy administration, removal of medications for symptoms, or a combination of all these.
