Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and it is associated with a combination of genetic, environmental, and microbial risk factors. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is classified as a type I carcinogen, however, the exact regulatory mechanisms underlying H. pylori-induced GC are incompletely defined. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), one of small non-coding RNAs, negatively regulate gene expression through binding to their target genes. Dysregulation of miRNAs is crucial in human cancer. A noteworthy quantity of aberrant miRNAs induced by H. pylori through complex regulatory networks have been identified. These miRNAs substantially affect genetic instability, cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, metastasis, autophagy, chemoresistance, and the tumor microenvironment, leading to GC development and progression. Importantly, some H. pylori-associated miRNAs hold promise as therapeutic tools and biomarkers for GC prevention, diagnosis, and prognosis. Nonetheless, clinical application of miRNAs remains in its infancy with multiple issues, including sensitivity and specificity, stability, reliable delivery systems, and off-target effects. Additional research on the specific molecular mechanisms and more clinical data are still required. This review investigated the biogenesis, regulatory mechanisms, and functions of miRNAs in H. pylori-induced GC, offering novel insights into the potential clinical applications of miRNA-based therapeutics and biomarkers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous observational studies have suggested a possible association between periodontal disease and gastric cancer (GC); however, a causal relationship has not yet been established. This study aimed to explore the causal relationship between the 2 through a 2-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) study. METHODS Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary statistics were obtained from publicly available GWAS and relevant databases. Two-sample bidirectional MR analysis was conducted to investigate the causal relationship between periodontal disease and GC using the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method selected as the primary analytical approach. Cochran Q test, MR-PRESSO, MR-pleiotropy, and leave-one-out analyses were performed to assess heterogeneity, pleiotropy, and sensitivity. RESULTS In European ancestry, IVW analysis revealed no causal relationship between periodontal disease and GC (OR = 1.873; 95% CI [4.788e-10, 7.323e + 09]; P = .956), or between loose teeth and GC (OR = 1.064; 95% CI [0.708, 1.598]; P = .765). In East Asian ancestry, there was no causal relationship between periodontitis and GC according to IVW (OR = 0.948; 95% CI [0.886, 1.015]; P = .126). Conversely, according to the results of the IVW analysis, there was no causal relationship between GC and periodontal disease, regardless of European or East Asian ancestry. Furthermore, there was no heterogeneity or pleiotropy in the causal relationships between these variables (all P > .05), suggesting a certain level of reliability in our results. CONCLUSION Within the limitations of this MR study, we found no mutual causal relationship between periodontal disease and GC. This finding can prevent overtreatment by clinical physicians and alleviate the psychological burden on patients.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is a common gastrointestinal system malignancy. PACSIN1 functions as an oncogene in various cancers. This study aims to investigate the potential of PACSIN1 as a target in GC treatment. Gene expression is determined by RT-qPCR, immunofluorescence staining, and immunohistochemistry assay. FISH is performed to determine the colocalization of PACSIN1 and the major histocompatibility complex (MHC-I). Cytokine release and cell functions are analyzed by flow cytometry. In vivo assays are also conducted. Histological analysis is performed using H&E staining. The results show that PACSIN1 is overexpressed in GC patients, especially in those with immunologically-cold tumors. A high level of PACSIN1 is associated with poor prognosis. PACSIN1 deficiency inhibits autophagy but increases antigen presentation in GC cells. Moreover, PACSIN1 deficiency inhibits the lysosomal fusion and selective autophagy of MHC-I, increases CD8 + T-cell infiltration, and suppresses tumor growth and liver metastasis in vivo. Additionally, PACSIN1 knockout enhances the chemosensitivity of cells to immune checkpoint blockade. In summary, PACSIN1 mediates lysosomal fusion and selective autophagy of MHC-I and suppresses antigen presentation and CD8 + T-cell infiltration, thus inhibiting antitumor immunity in GC.

J Gastrointest Cancer 2024; 55:787-799. [PMID: 38265570 DOI: 10.1007/s12029-023-01005-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Stomach cancer is a global health problem and is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide. This study investigates the spatial and temporal patterns of stomach cancer burden in 204 countries in the last three decades. DATA AND METHODS The estimates of stomach cancer burden and its risk factors were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 study, covering the years 1990 to 2019, across 204 countries within 21 world regions. GBD employs the cause-of-death ensemble modeling framework to calculate disease-specific mortality estimates. Estimated average percent change (EAPC) of absolute counts (incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs)) and age-standardized rates (age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR), and age-standardized DALYs rate (ASDALR)) was calculated in the regions to illustrate the relative changes between 1990 and 2019. Joinpoint regression was used to analyze global trends of stomach cancer burden in the last three decades. RESULTS Incidence of stomach cancer globally increased from 883,396 cases in 1990 to 1.3 million cases in 2019 and number of deaths due to stomach cancer rose from 788,317 in 1990 to 957,185 in 2019. Between 1990 and 2019, the global ASIR decreased from 22.4 per 100,000 to 15.6 per 100,000, the ASMR decreased from 20.5 per 100,000 to 11.9 per 100,000 and the ASDALR declined from 493.4 per 100,000 to 290.6 per 100,000. Trend analysis using joinpoint regression revealed the slowest rise in incident cases and largest decline in ASIR between 2004 and 2016. In 2019, East Asia had the highest number of incident cases, totaling 626,489, followed by high-income Asia-Pacific (128,168) and South Asia (99,399). The ASIR was the highest in East Asia (30.2/100,000) followed by high-income Asia-Pacific (28.2/100,000) and Andean Latin America (22.4/100,000), while high-income North America had the lowest ASIR at 6.1/100,000. In terms of absolute counts, the top three countries in 2019 were China, India, and Japan together accounting for 61.5% of global incident cases, 58.6% of deaths, and DALYs. Mongolia had the highest ASIR (43.7 per 100,000), followed by Bolivia (34.0 per 100,000) and China (30.6 per 100,000) in 2019, while the lowest ASIR was 3.3 per 100,000 in Malawi. Globally, for both sexes combined, 7.8% of stomach cancer DALYs were associated with a diet high in sodium and 17.2% were linked to smoking. Among males, 24.0% of stomach cancer DALYs were attributable to smoking, compared to only 4.3% in females in 2019. CONCLUSION Significant progress has been made globally in the fight against stomach cancer, with the ASIR decreasing by 30.3% and the ASMR by 41.2% between 1990 and 2019. To further reduce the burden of stomach cancer, it is essential to address factors such as Helicobacter pylori prevalence, obesity, and smoking. Additionally, improvements in early detection, socioeconomic development (including better public sanitation, hygiene, and drinking water), and dietary habits are imperative.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Dandelion has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effects. Our study aimed to identify the effect and mechanism of dandelion flower extracts on H. pylori-induced gastritis and screen for novel antimicrobial substances. METHODS Anti-H. pylori activities of water extracts(WEDF) and ethanol extracts (EEDF) of dandelion flowers were performed with disk diffusion method assay, MIC, and MBC. The H. pylori-induced model was constructed to examine the gastroprotective of EEDF using RUT, pathological analysis, and ELISA. RESULTS EEDF exhibited better anti- H. pylori and urease inhibition activities than WEDF. In vivo studies, EEDF can reduce the adhesion of H. pylori to the gastric mucosa, alleviate gastric damage, and concurrently reduce the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in gastric tissues. The six phenolic compounds showed urease inhibition effect (IC50: 2.99±0.15 to 66.08±6.46 mmol/mL). Among them, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and luteolin also had anti-H. pylori activity (MIC: 64-256 μg/mL). CONCLUSION EEDF exhibited anti-H. pylori, gastroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. Chicoric acid and luteolin may be the main active compounds of dandelion flowers to exert anti-H. pylori, and worthy of further investigation.

Abstract
Background Gastric cancer necessitates novel treatments, and exosomes are promising therapeutic carriers. We created miR-494-3p inhibitor exosomes to assess their effects on gastric cancer cells. Methods We conducted a comprehensive investigation into the expression of the oncogenic miR-494-3p in gastric cancer tissues from patients. Subsequently, we engineered miR-494-3p inhibitor-loaded exosomes and characterized their morphology and size through transmission electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analysis. We next determined the encapsulation efficiency of the miR-494-3p inhibitor within these exosomes and evaluated the exosomes' structural integrity by quantifying the presence of exosomal markers. Following these validations, we co-cultured miR-494-3p inhibitor exosomes with cancer cells and employed PKH26 staining to visualize the efficient endocytosis of engineered exosomes by gastric cancer cells and assess the impact of these modified exosomes on gastric cancer cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion. Results Increased expression of miR-494-3p was observed in gastric cancer tissues as compared to controls. Significant low miR-494-3p levels were found within miR-494-3p inhibitor exosomes, signifying effective encapsulation. The incorporation of miR-494-3p inhibitor into engineered exosomes did not alter exosome morphology or size. Finally, PKH26-stained exosomes clearly demonstrated efficient endocytosis by gastric cancer cells, leading to reduced proliferation, migration, invasion, and increased apoptosis. Conclusion Our study identifies elevated miR-494-3p in gastric cancer tissues prompting the development of miR-494-3p inhibitor-loaded exosomes with efficient encapsulation. These engineered exosomes demonstrate successful endocytosis by cancer cells. This highlights their potential for therapeutic use in gastric cancer treatment by suppressing proliferation, migration, and invasion while enhancing apoptosis.

Abstract
To investigate the impact of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the HIF1α gene and its interaction with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection on susceptibility to gastric cancer (GC).Logistic regression was used to test the relationship between four SNPs of HIF1α gene and the susceptibility of GC. A generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) model was used to assess the HIF1α gene-H. pylori infection interaction.Logistic regression analysis indicated that both the rs11549465-CT genotype and the T allele were associated with an increased risk of GC, adjusted OR (95% CI) were 1.63 (1.09-2.20) (CT vs. CC) and 1.70 (1.13-2.36) (T vs. C), respectively. We also found that both the rs11549467-A allele and rs11549467-GA genotype were associated with an increased risk of GC, and adjusted OR (95% CI) were 2.21 (1.61-2.86) (GA vs. GG), 2.13 (1.65-2.65) (A vs. G), respectively. However, no statistically significant impact of rs2057482 or rs1957757 on risk of GC was found. The GMDR model indicated a statistically significant two-dimensional model combination (including rs11549467 and H. pylori infection). The selected model had testing balanced accuracy of 0.60 and the best cross-validation consistencies of 10/10 (p = 0.0107). Compared with H. pylori infection negative participants with rs11549467-GG genotype, H. pylori positive participants with the rs11549467-GA genotype had the highest GC risk, the OR (95% CI) was 3.04 (1.98-4.12).The rs11549467-A allele and rs11549467-GA genotype was associated with increased GC risk. Additionally, the gene-environment interaction between HIF-1α-rs11549467 and H. pylori infection was also correlated with an increased risk of GC.

Abstract
The relationship between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancers is complex. This multicenter, population-based cohort study conducted in seven areas in China aimed to assess the correlation between current H. pylori infection and the severity of UGI lesions, as well as its association with the risk of gastric cancer (GC) and esophageal cancer (EC). From 2015 to 2017, 27,085 participants (aged 40-69) completed a standardized questionnaire, and underwent a 13C-urea breath test. Then a subset underwent UGI endoscopy to assess the UGI lesion detection rates. All individuals were followed up until December 2021 to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) for UGI cancers. H. pylori infection prevalence was 45.9%, and among endoscopy participants, 22.2% had gastric lesions, 19.2% had esophageal lesions. Higher detection rates of gastric lesions were noted in the H. pylori-positive population across all lesion severity levels. Over a median follow-up of 6.3 years, 104 EC and 179 GC cases were observed, including 103 non-cardia gastric cancer (NCGC) cases and 76 cardia gastric cancer (CGC) cases. H. pylori-infected individuals exhibited a 1.78-fold increased risk of GC (HR 1.78, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.32-2.40) but no significant increase in EC risk (HR 1.07, 95% CI 0.73-1.57). Notably, there was a higher risk for both NCGC and CGC in H. pylori-infected individuals. This population-based cohort study provides valuable evidence supporting the association between current H. pylori infection and the risk of both NCGC and CGC. These findings contribute to the empirical basis for risk stratification and recommendations for UGI cancer screening.

Abstract
Aim: To predict the prognosis of gastric cancer patients with triple-negative tumor markers. Materials & methods: Prognostic factors of the nomogram were identified through univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Calibration and receiver operating characteristic curves were used to assess accuracy. Decision curve analysis and concordance indexes were utilized to compare the nomogram with the pathological tumor, node, metastasis stage. Results: A nomogram incorporating log odds of positive lymph nodes, tumor size and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio was constructed. The calibration and receiver operating characteristic curves (area under the curve >0.85) showed high accuracy in predicting overall survival. The concordance indexes (0.832 vs 0.760; p < 0.001) and decision curve analysis demonstrated that the nomogram was superior to the pathological tumor, node, metastasis stage. Conclusion: A prediction and risk stratification nomogram has been developed and validated for gastric cancer patients with triple-negative tumor markers.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H pylori), a gastric bacterium, has been extensively studied for its association with gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. However, recent evidence suggests its potential implications beyond the stomach, linking it to other gastrointestinal malignancies, such as esophageal cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, gallbladder cancer, and colorectal cancer. In light of the expanding research landscape and the increasing interest in exploring H pylori broader role in gastrointestinal tumorigenesis, this comprehensive review aims to elucidate the relationship between H pylori and gastrointestinal tumors. This review encompasses recent epidemiological studies, research progress, and emerging perspectives, providing a comprehensive assessment of the relationship between H pylori and gastrointestinal tumors. The findings highlight the captivating world of H pylori and its intricate involvement in gastrointestinal malignancies.

LncRNA WFDC21P interacts with SEC63 to promote gastric cancer malignant behaviors by regulating calcium homeostasis signaling pathway. Cancer Cell Int 2024; 24:111. [PMID: 38528582 DOI: 10.1186/s12935-024-03297-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer is currently estimated to be the fifth leading common cancer in the world, and responsible for about one million new cases and an estimated 769,000 cancer-related deaths each year. WFDC21P is long non-coding RNA and has been reported to play critical roles in serval types of cancer. Our research aims to investigate the biological effects and molecular mechanism of WFDC21P in gastric cancer. METHODS Datasets (GSE53137, GSE58828, and GSE109476) in GEO database were used to screen differential expressed lncRNAs in gastric cancer by online GEO2R analysis tool. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to verify the above prediction in ten pairs of gastric cancer and corresponding paracancerous tissues. Pan-cancer analysis was used to analyze the expression of WFDC21P in different types of cancer. Small interfering RNAs were used to WFDC21P knockdown. CCK-8 and colony formation assays were used to measure the proliferation and tumorigenesis abilities. Wound healing and Transwell assay were used to detect the migration and invasion abilities. Proteins that interact with WFDC21P were predicted by catRAPID database. RNA pull down and RNA Immunoprecipitation were used to confirm the interaction. Western blotting was used to detect the key proteins level in calcium homeostasis signaling pathway. Loss-of-function and rescue assays were used to evaluate the biological function of SEC63 at the background of WFDC21P silencing. RESULTS WFDC21P was upregulated in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines. WFDC21P downregulation suppressed proliferation, tumorigenesis, migration, invasion, and promoted apoptosis in gastric cancer. SEC63 protein had the capability to bind with WFDC21P and the expression of SEC63 was regulated by WFDC21P. SEC63 was also upregulated in gastric cancer and exerted effects during tumor growth and metastasis. CONCLUSIONS This study confirmed that lncRNA WFDC21P aggravated gastric cancer malignant behaviors by interacting with SEC63 to regulate the calcium homeostasis signaling pathway.

The Role of Probiotics in the Eradication of Helicobacter pylori and Overall Impact on Management of Peptic Ulcer: A Study Involving Patients Undergoing Triple Therapy in Bangladesh. Cureus 2024; 16:e56283. [PMID: 38495972 PMCID: PMC10944298 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.56283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 03/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Helicobacter pylori infection has been identified to cause constantly recurring inflammation, leading to gastrointestinal tract disorders, including carcinoma. The standard triple therapy (STT), used to eradicate H. pylori, includes two antimicrobials and a proton pump inhibitor for two weeks. Other drug regimens have also been developed since H. pylori exhibits antimicrobial resistance. These regimens, including probiotics, have been shown to lower adverse drug reactions (ADR), improve drug adherence, exert bacteriostatic effect, and reduce inflammation. Objective This study intended to explore probiotic intervention for improving eradication rates and mitigating adverse effects while administrating STT. Methods This prospective study was conducted from May to December, 2021, in the Department of Gastroenterology of Ship International Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh, to observe the effects of probiotics inclusion along with STT on H. pylori eradication. A total of 100 patients aged ≥18 years who tested positive for H. pylori were included. The experimental group (n=50) was given STT and probiotics, and the control group (n=50) was given only STT without probiotics for 14 days. Necessary follow-up was done six weeks after treatment. An independent sample t-test, chi-square test, and multiple regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Result The odds of getting rapid urease test (RUT) negative results from positive were 2.06 times higher (95%CI= 0.95, 3.22, p=0.054) in the experimental group. ADRs were crucially towering in the control group (p=0.045) compared to the probiotics group. The probiotics group had a lower risk of having adverse effects by 0.54 times (95%CI=0.19, 0.84, p=0.032) than the control group. Conclusion Using probiotics and STT together to eradicate H. pylori may lower ADR and improve treatment adherence. It may also help terminate H. pylori infection more effectively. More research is required as H. pylori is very contagious and can ultimately cause life-threatening gastric cancer.

THE LANCET REGIONAL HEALTH. WESTERN PACIFIC 2024; 44:101003. [PMID: 38269331 PMCID: PMC10806286 DOI: 10.1016/j.lanwpc.2023.101003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
Background The incidence of gastric cancer (GC) decreased in past decades, which was thought largely attributable to risk factors control, yet China still accounts for 44% of global GC burdens. We aimed to estimate changing trajectories of proportions of GC burdens attributable to modifiable risk factors from 2000 to 2050 in China, to inform future targeted preventive strategies. Methods The incidence and new cases of GC were predicted to 2050 using Bayesian age-period-cohort model based on incidence data by anatomical subsites drawn from 682 cancer registries from National Central Cancer Registry. Population attributable fractions (PAFs) were calculated based on prevalence of risk factors and relative risks with GC. Temporal trends of PAFs were described by sex and categories of risk factors using joinpoint analysis. Findings We observed declining trends of PAFs of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, smoking, pickled vegetable and alcohol consumption, but increasing trends of PAFs of unhealthy body mass index and diabetes for GC in China. The combined PAFs of these risk factors were estimated to decrease by 10.57% from 2000 to 2050 for GC. We estimated there will be 279,707 GC (122,796 cardia gastric cancer [CGC] and 156,911 non-cardia gastric cancer [NCGC]) cases in 2050. Out of these cases, 70.18% of GC cases could be attributable to modifiable risk factors, while H. pylori infection was predicted to be responsible for 40.7% of CGC and 62.1% of NCGC cases in 2050. Interpretation More than half of GC remained attributable to modifiable risk factors in China. Continued effective strategies on risk factors control are needed to reduce the burden of this highly life-threatening cancer in future.

Abstract
The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Clinical Practice Guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients with gastric cancer (GC), published in late 2022 and the updated ESMO Gastric Cancer Living Guideline published in July 2023, were adapted in August 2023, according to previously established standard methodology, to produce the Pan-Asian adapted (PAGA) ESMO consensus guidelines for the management of Asian patients with GC. The adapted guidelines presented in this manuscript represent the consensus opinions reached by a panel of Asian experts in the treatment of patients with GC representing the oncological societies of China (CSCO), Indonesia (ISHMO), India (ISMPO), Japan (JSMO), Korea (KSMO), Malaysia (MOS), the Philippines (PSMO), Singapore (SSO), Taiwan (TOS) and Thailand (TSCO), coordinated by ESMO and the Japanese Society of Medical Oncology (JSMO). The voting was based on scientific evidence and was independent of the current treatment practices, drug access restrictions and reimbursement decisions in the different Asian regions represented by the 10 oncological societies. The latter are discussed separately in the manuscript. The aim is to provide guidance for the optimisation and harmonisation of the management of patients with GC across the different regions of Asia, drawing on the evidence provided by both Western and Asian trials, whilst respecting the differences in screening practices, molecular profiling and age and stage at presentation. Attention is drawn to the disparity in the drug approvals and reimbursement strategies, between the different regions of Asia.

Abstract
Background Helicobacter pylori (HP) is considered a leading risk factor for gastric cancer (GC). The aim of this article is to conduct bibliometric and visual analysis to assess scientific output, identify highly cited papers, summarize current knowledge, and explore recent hotspots and trends in HP/GC research. Methods A bibliographic search was conducted on October 24, 2023, to retrieve relevant studies on HP/GC research between 2003 and 2022. The search terms were attached to HP and GC. The main data were from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Data visualization was performed using Biblioshiny, VOSviewer, and Microsoft Excel. Results In HP/GC research, 1970 papers were retrieved. The total number of papers (Np) in HP/GC was growing from 2003 to 2022. China and Japan were in the leading position and made the most contributions to HP/GC. Vanderbilt University and the US Department of Veterans Affairs had the highest Np. The most productive authors were Peek Jr Richard M. and Piazuelo M Blanca. Helicobacter received the most Np, while Gastroenterology had the most total citations (TC). High-cited publications and keyword clustering were used to identify the current status and trends in HP/GC research, while historical citation analysis provided insight into the evolution of HP/GC research. The hot topics included the effect of HP on gastric tumorigenesis and progression, the pathogenesis of HP-induced GC (HP factors), and the mechanisms by which HP affects GC (host factors). Research in the coming years could focus on topics such as autophagy, gut microbiota, immunotherapy, exosomes, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT). Conclusion This study evaluated the global scientific output in HP/GC research and its quantitative characteristics, identified the essential works, and collected information on the current status, main focuses and emerging trends in HP/GC research to provide academics with guidance for future paths.

Abstract
Background Stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) exhibits profound tumor heterogeneity and represents a great therapeutic challenge. Single-cell sequencing technology is a powerful tool to identify characteristic cell types. Methods Single-cell sequencing data (scRNA-seq) GSE167297 and bulk RNA-seq data from TCGA, GTEx, GSE26901 and GSE15459 database were included in this study. By downscaling and annotating the cellular data in scRNA-seq, critical cell types in tumor progression were identified by AUCell score. Relevant gene modules were then identified by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). A prognostic scoring system was constructed by identifying prognostic factors in STAD by Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) COX model. The prognosis and model performance in the RiskScore groups were measured by Kaplan-Meier (K-M) curves and Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Nomogram was drawn based on RiskScore and prognosis-related clinical factors. In addition, we evaluated patient's feedback on immunotherapy in the RiskScore groups by TIMER, ESTIMATE and TIDE analysis. Finally, the expression levels of prognostic factors were verified in gastric cancer cell lines (MKN7 and MKN28) and human normal gastric mucosal epithelial cells (GES-1), and the effects of prognostic factors on the viability of gastric cancer cells were examined by the CCK8 assay and cell cycle. Results scRNA-seq analysis revealed that 11 cell types were identified, and macrophages exhibited relatively higher AUCell scores and specifically expressed CD14 and FCGR3A. High macrophage scores worsened the prognosis of STAD patients. We intersected the specifically expressed genes in macrophages subgroups (670) and macrophage module genes (2,360) obtained from WGCNA analysis. Among 86 common genes, seven prognostic factors (RGS2, GNAI2, ANXA5, MARCKS, CD36, NRP1 and PDE4A) were identified and composed a RiskScore model. Patients in low Risk group showed a better survival advantage. Nomogram also provided a favorable prediction for survival at 1, 3 and 5 years in STAD patients. Besides, we found positive feedback to immunotherapy in patients with low RiskScore. The expression tendency of the seven prognostic factors in MKN7 and MKN28 was consistent with that in the RNA-seq data in addition to comparison of protein expression levels in the public HPA (The Human Protein Atlas) database. Further functional exploration disclosed that MARCKS was an important prognostic factor in regulating cell viability in STAD. Conclusion This study preliminary uncovered a single cell atlas for STAD patients, and Macrophages relevant gene signature and nomogram displayed favorable immunotherapy and prognostic prediction ability. Collectively, our work provides a new insight into the molecular mechanisms and therapeutic approach for LUAD patients.

Burdens of stomach and esophageal cancer from 1990 to 2019 and projection to 2030 in China: Findings from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease Study. J Glob Health 2024; 14:04025.

Abstract
Background Stomach and esophageal cancer exhibit high morbidity and mortality rate in China, resulting in substantial disease burdens. It is imperative to identify the temporal trends of stomach and esophageal cancer from 1990 to 2019 and project future trends until 2030, which can provide valuable information for planning effective management and prevention strategies. Methods We collected and analysed data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) between 1990 and 2019, including incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), age-standardised incidence rate (ASIR), mortality rate (ASMR) and DALYs rate. We also calculated and reported the proportion of mortality and DALYs attributable to risk factors by sex in China and different regions. The Bayesian age-period-cohort model was applied to project future trends until 2030. Results The new cases, deaths and DALYs of stomach and esophageal cancer increased from 1990 to 2019. However, the ASIR, ASMR and age-standardised DALYs rates for stomach and esophageal cancer all decreased during the same period. These changes may be related to risks, such as smoking and diet. Furthermore, we utilised the projection model to estimate that the ASIR and ASMR of stomach and esophageal cancer among females will likely follow steady downward trends, while the ASMR of stomach cancer among males is expected to exhibit a significant decline. However, the ASIR of stomach and esophageal cancer and the ASMR of esophageal cancer among males are projected to display slight upward trends until 2030. Conclusions The analysis of stomach and esophageal cancer trends in China from 1990 to 2030 reveals a general decline. However, it is crucial to acknowledge the persistent high burden of both cancers in the country. Adopting healthy lifestyle practices, including the reduction of tobacco and alcohol intake, avoidance of moldy foods and increased consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables can contribute to mitigating the risk of stomach and esophageal cancer. Significantly, the formulation and implementation of well-founded and efficacious public health policies are imperative for alleviating the disease burden in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide-like 2 (APOBEC2) is associated with nucleotide alterations in the transcripts of tumor-related genes which are contributed to carcinogenesis. Expression and prognosis value of APOBEC2 in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) remains unclear. METHODS The APOBEC2 gene alteration frequency of STAD and APOBEC2 gene expression in STAD and normal tissues were investigated in cBioportal and GEPIA, respectively. We detected expression of APOBEC2, infiltration of CD66b+ tumor-associated neutrophils and CD163+ tumor-associated macrophages in tissue microarrays by immunohistochemistry. APOBEC2 gene expression was explored by western blot and qRT-PCR. Relationships between APOBEC2 and CD66b, CD163, and other clinicopathological characteristics were investigated. Associations among APOBEC2 expression status and patient survival outcome were further analyzed. RESULTS APOBEC2 gene alteration frequency was 5%, and APOBEC2 gene was downexpressed in STAD compared to normal tissues (P < 0.05). APOBEC2 expression status were associated with the infiltration of CD66b+ TANs, differentiation grade, TNM stage, histological type and gender (all P < 0.05) in STAD. Little or no APOBEC2 expression was detected in STAD and adjacent normal tissues by western blot. We failed to show that APOBEC2 was an independent risk factor for OS (Hazard Ratio 0.816, 95%CI 0.574-1.161, P = 0.259) or DFS (Hazard Ratio 0.821, 95%CI 0.578-1.166, P = 0.270) in STAD by multivariate Cox regression analysis, but APOBEC2 negative subgroup has a worse OS and DFS among patients with adjuvant chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS APOBEC2 correlates with CD66b, differentiation grade, TNM stages, histological classification, and gender in STAD. APOBEC2 is not an independent prognostic factor for STAD, our results suggest that patients with positive APOBEC2 can benefit from postoperative chemotherapy, and combination of APOBEC2 and CD66b is helpful to further stratify patients into different groups with distinct prognoses.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is a global public health burden, nearly one million new cases are diagnosed per year worldwide, of which 44% of cases occur in China. The prognosis of gastric cancer varies remarkably by the stage of cancer, and most of the patients in China are diagnosed at advanced stages, resulting in poor prognoses. Effective strategies to reduce the burden of gastric cancer include primary prevention through testing and treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and secondary prevention by screening and early detection. Although many countries have issued management guidelines and consensus reports concerning these strategies, the limited availability of healthcare resources often precludes their widespread implementation. Therefore, assessing the costs, benefits, and harms of population-based intervention measures through health economic evaluation is necessary for informed health policy decisions. Accordingly, we synthesize management approaches from different countries on H. pylori eradication and endoscopic screening, and also summarize recent advancements in health economic evaluations on population-based preventive strategies. The goal of the review is to provide empirical evidence supporting optimal resource allocation, maximizing benefits for the population, and ultimately reducing the burden of gastric cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Early gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (EGCA) is a highly heterogeneous cancer, and the understanding of its classification and malignant progression is limited. This study explored the cellular and molecular heterogeneity in EGCA using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). DESIGN scRNA-seq was conducted on 95 551 cells from endoscopic biopsies of low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, well/moderately/poorly differentiated EGCA and their paired adjacent nonmalignant biopsy samples. Large-scale clinical samples and functional experiments were employed. RESULTS Integrative analysis of epithelial cells revealed that chief cells, parietal cells and enteroendocrine cells were rarely detected in the malignant epithelial subpopulation, whereas gland and pit mucous cells and AQP5+ stem cells were predominant during malignant progression. Pseudotime and functional enrichment analyses showed that the WNT and NF-κB signalling pathways were activated during the transition. Cluster analysis of heterogeneous malignant cells revealed that NNMT-mediated nicotinamide metabolism was enriched in gastric mucin phenotype cell population, which was associated with tumour initiation and inflammation-induced angiogenesis. Furthermore, the expression level of NNMT was gradually increased during the malignant progression and associated with poor prognosis in cardia adenocarcinoma. Mechanistically, NNMT catalysed the conversion of nicotinamide to 1-methyl nicotinamide via depleting S-adenosyl methionine, which led to a reduction in H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) and then activated the WNT signalling pathway to maintain the stemness of AQP5+ stem cells during EGCA malignant progression. CONCLUSION Our study extends the understanding of the heterogeneity of EGCA and identifies a functional NNMT+/AQP5+ population that may drive malignant progression in EGCA and could be used for early diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the pharmacokinetic and safety of the test group capecitabine tablets (0.5 g) and the reference group capecitabine tablets (0.5 g). METHODS This study was registered at www.chinadrugtrials.org.cn under the registration number CTR20220138. 48 subjects with solid tumor were recruited and randomized to receive either the test group or the reference group at a dose of 2 g per cycle for three cycles of the entire trial. RESULTS The point estimate of the geometric mean ratio of Cmax for the subject and reference groups was 1.0670, which was in the range of 80.00%-125.00%. And the upper limit of 95% confidence interval was -0.0450 < 0. The statistics of geometric mean ratio of AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ (test group/reference group) and their 90% confidence intervals were in the range of 80.00%-125.00%, thus the test group was bioequivalent to the reference group under the conditions of this postprandial test. There were no major or serious adverse events. Conclusion: The pharmacokinetic profiles of capecitabine under postprandial conditions were consistent between the two groups. The two groups were bioequivalent and had a similar favorable safety profile in Chinese patients with solid tumor.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) remains one of the most common malignances and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Although the critical role of several long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) transcribed from several GC-risk loci has been established, we still know little about the biological significance of these lncRNAs at most gene loci and how they play in cell signaling. In the present study, we identified a novel oncogenic lncRNA LINC01226 transcribed from the 1p35.2 GC-risk locus. LINC01226 shows markedly higher expression levels in GC specimens compared with those in normal tissues. High expression of LINC01226 is evidently correlated with worse prognosis of GC cases. In line with these, oncogenic LINC01226 promotes proliferation, migration and metastasis of GC cells ex vivo and in vivo. Importantly, LINC01226 binds to STIP1 protein, leads to disassembly of the STIP1-HSP90 complex, elevates interactions between HSP90 and β-catenin, stabilizes β-catenin protein, activates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling and, thereby, promote GC progression. Together, our findings uncovered a novel layer regulating the Wnt signaling in cancers and uncovers a new epigenetic mode of GC tumorigenesis. These discoveries also shed new light on the importance of functional lncRNAs as innovative therapeutic targets through precisely controlling protein-protein interactions in cancers.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death globally. SETD2 is a histone methyltransferase catalyzing tri-methylation of H3K36 (H3K36me3) and has been shown to participate in diverse biological processes and human tumors. However, the mechanism of SETD2 in GC remains unclear. Here, we reported that Setd2 deficiency predicts poor prognosis of gastric cancer. SETD2 loss facilitated H. felis/MNU and c-Myc-induced gastric tumorigenesis, respectively. The mouse model of stomach-specific Setd2 depletion together with c-MYC overexpression (AMS) developed high-grade epithelial defects, intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia at only 10-12 weeks of age. Mechanistically, Setd2 depletion resulted in impaired epigenetic regulation of Sirt1, thus inhibiting the SIRT1/FOXO pathway. Moreover, the agonists of FOXO signaling or overexpression of SIRT1 significantly rescued the enhanced cell proliferation and migration caused by Setd2 deficiency in SGC7901 cells. Together, our findings highlight an epigenetic mechanism by which SETD2 regulates gastric tumorigenesis through SIRT1/FOXO pathway. It may also pave the way for the development of targeted, patient-tailored therapies for GC patients with Setd2 deficiency.

Eradicating Helicobacter pylori via 13C-urea breath screening to prevent gastric cancer in indigenous communities: a population-based study and development of a family index-case method. Gut 2023; 72:2231-2240. [PMID: 37197905 DOI: 10.1136/gutjnl-2023-329871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Screening and eradication of Helicobacter pylori help reduce disparities in the incidence of gastric cancer. We aimed to evaluate its acceptability and feasibility in the indigenous communities and develop a family index-case method to roll out this programme. DESIGN We enrolled residents aged 20-60 years from Taiwanese indigenous communities to receive a course of test, treat, retest and re-treat initial treatment failures with the 13C-urea breath tests and four-drug antibiotic treatments. We also invited the family members of a participant (constituting an index case) to join the programme and evaluated whether the infection rate would be higher in the positive index cases. RESULTS Between 24 September 2018 and 31 December 2021, 15 057 participants (8852 indigenous and 6205 non-indigenous) were enrolled, with a participation rate of 80.0% (15 057 of 18 821 invitees). The positivity rate was 44.1% (95% CI 43.3% to 44.9%). In the proof-of-concept study with 72 indigenous families (258 participants), family members of a positive index case had 1.98 times (95% CI 1.03 to 3.80) higher prevalence of H. pylori than those of a negative index case. The results were replicated in the mass screening setting (1.95 times, 95% CI 1.61 to 2.36) when 1115 indigenous and 555 non-indigenous families were included (4157 participants). Of the 6643 testing positive, 5493 (82.6%) received treatment. According to intention-to-treat and per-protocol analyses, the eradication rates were 91.7% (89.1% to 94.3%) and 92.1% (89.2% to 95.0%), respectively, after one to two courses of treatment. The rate of adverse effects leading to treatment discontinuation was low at 1.2% (0.9% to 1.5%). CONCLUSION A high participation rate, a high eradication rate of H. pylori and an efficient rollout method indicate that a primary prevention strategy is acceptable and feasible in indigenous communities. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03900910.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori lipopolysaccharide (LPS) structures vary among strains of different geographic origin. The aim of this study was to characterize the LPS O-antigen profiles of H. pylori strains isolated from Southwest China, and to further analyze the association of Lewis antigen expression with clinical outcomes and antibiotic resistance. RESULTS A total of 71 H. pylori isolates from Southwest China were included for LPS profiling by silver staining and Western blotting after SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. We demonstrated that all the clinical isolates had the conserved lipid A and core-oligosaccharide, whereas the O-antigen domains varied significantly among the isolates. Compared with the common presence of the glucan/heptan moiety in LPS O-antigen structure of European strains, the clinical isolates in this study appeared to lack the glucan/heptan moiety. The expression frequency of Lex, Ley, Lea, and Leb was 66.2% (47/71), 84.5% (60/71), 56.3% (40/71), and 31.0% (22/71), respectively. In total, the expression of type II Lex and/or Ley was observed in 69 (97.2%) isolates, while type I Lea and/or Leb were expressed in 49 (69.0%) isolates. No association of Lewis antigen expression with clinical outcomes or with antibiotic resistance was observed. CONCLUSIONS H. pylori strains from Southwest China tend to produce heptan-deficient LPS and are more likely to express type I Lewis antigens as compared with Western strains. This may suggest that H. pylori evolves to change its LPS structure for adaptation to different hosts.

Regulation of the Hippo/YAP axis by CXCR7 in the tumorigenesis of gastric cancer. J Exp Clin Cancer Res 2023; 42:297. [PMID: 37950281 PMCID: PMC10636825 DOI: 10.1186/s13046-023-02870-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Hippo pathway is crucial in organ size control and tumorigenesis. Dysregulation of the Hippo/YAP axis is commonly observed in gastric cancer, while effective therapeutic targets for the Hippo/YAP axis are lacking. Identification of reliable drug targets and the underlying mechanisms that could inhibit the activity of the Hippo/YAP axis and gastric cancer progression is urgently needed. METHODS We used several gastric cancer cell lines and xenograft models and performed immunoblotting, qPCR, and in vivo studies to investigate the function of CXCR7 in gastric cancer progression. RESULTS In our current study, we demonstrate that the membrane receptor CXCR7 (C-X-C chemokine receptor 7) is an important modulator of the Hippo/YAP axis. The activation of CXCR7 could stimulate gastric cancer cell progression through the Hippo/YAP axis in vitro and in vivo, while pharmaceutical inhibition of CXCR7 via ACT-1004-1239 could block tumorigenesis in gastric cancer. Molecular studies revealed that the activation of CXCR7 could dephosphorylate YAP and facilitate YAP nuclear accumulation and transcriptional activation in gastric cancer. CXCR7 functions via G-protein Gαq/11 and Rho GTPase to activate YAP activity. Interestingly, ChIP assays showed that YAP could bind to the promoter region of CXCR7 and facilitate its gene transcription, which indicates that CXCR7 is both the upstream signalling and downstream target of the Hippo/YAP axis in gastric cancer. CONCLUSION In general, we identified a novel positive feedback loop between CXCR7 and the Hippo/YAP axis, and blockade of CXCR7 could be a plausible strategy for gastric cancer.

Abstract
Background Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, for which several novel therapeutic strategies have been developed. Cisplatin (CDDP) mainly exerts its anti-gastric cancer effects; however, drug resistance limits its use. Thus, the development of drugs that can augment their antitumor effects is necessary. Arenobufagin (ArBu) is a novel anticancer drug, and the effects of ArBu in combination with CDDP on gastric cancer have not yet been studied. Aims To identify a possible synergistic effect between ArBu and CDDP in gastric cancer and investigate the underlying mechanism. Methods Cell viability, colony formation, migration, apoptosis, cell cycle, western blotting, immunofluorescence, and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were analyzed in vitro. Western blotting, RT-PCR, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and blood biochemistry were carried out to examine in vivo. Results We found that ArBu, in combination with CDDP, effectively inhibited the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells, promoted apoptosis, and downregulated the expression of carbonic anhydrase 9 (CA9), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). In addition, treatment with ArBu in combination with CDDP increased the level of inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B kinase subunit beta (IKBKB), E-cadherin, and nuclear factor kappa-B/p65 (NF-κB/p65). Furthermore, the combination of ArBu and CDDP inhibited tumor growth in xenograft nude mice with no obvious side effects. Conclusions ArBu synergizes with CDDP to inhibit tumor growth both in vivo and in vitro by inducing alkaliptosis. This indicated that ArBu combined with CDDP may serve as a potential agent for the treatment of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Background: Gastric cancer is the most common gastrointestinal cancer worldwide. The latest data showed that it was the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death. The unobvious symptom and the difficulties lying in the early diagnosis largely affect the effect of the treatment. Therefore, it becomes particularly important to investigate the related genes and signal transduction pathways in gastric cancer. Our previous study found that the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene FokI polymorphism may be associated with susceptibility to gastric cancer in the Chinese Han population. However, the mechanism of VDR affecting gastric cancer is unknown. In this study, we explored the molecular mechanism and the possible signaling pathway of VDR modulating carcinogenesis and progression of gastric cancer. Methods: The expression of VDR in gastric cancer cell lines was interfered by plasmid transfection and RNA interference technology. And then we analyzed the cell viability and invasive ability by MTT assay, colony formation assay, and transwell migration assay, and detected the expression of VDR and several signaling proteins in gastric cancer cells by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Results: The overexpression of VDR can significantly inhibit the viability and invasive ability of gastric cancer cells; on the contrary, when VDR siRNA inhibits the expression of VDR, the viability and invasive ability of gastric cancer cells enhanced. VDR expression levels in gastric cancer cells treated with 1,25 (OH) 2D3 showed a time-dependent increased expression; and with the increase of the VDR expression, the expression of β-catenin decreased gradually, but the expression of E-cadherin showed a time-dependent increase (P < 0.05). Compared with the mutant-type VDR gene(ff) cells, the degree of β-catenin decline was significantly enhanced after transfected with homozygous wild-type VDR gene (FF) plasmids (p<0.05). Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that VDR FokI polymorphism plays an important role in the malignant phenotype of gastric cancer cells, such as proliferation, invasion, and clone formation. When the VDR is activated by its ligand, it can prevent the nuclear import of β-catenin, affect the E-cadherin level, inhibit the proliferation of gastric cancer cells, which suggested that VDR FokI gene may play a role of cancer suppressor via Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
Gastric adenocarcinoma is associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. The transition to a carcinogenic process is preceded by glandular atrophy and serum levels of pepsinogen I and II (PGI and PGII) correlate with this type of gastric lesions. Possible associations of serum PG levels in relation to the frequency of serological activity against H. pylori antigens were studied. Serum samples from patients with gastric pathology associated with H. pylori (n=26) and asymptomatic individuals as controls (n=37) were used. Seroactive antigens were identified by immunoblot using a protein extract of H. pylori. The antibody titers anti-H. pylori and the concentration of PGs in serum was determined by ELISA. Thirty-one seroactive antigens were identified, nine of which exhibited a differential frequency between both groups (116.7, 68.8, 61.9, 54.9, 45.6, 38.3, 36.5, 33.8 and 30.1kDa) and only 3 were related to altered levels of PGs in serum. In the control group, the seropositivity of the 33.8kDa antigen was related to an increase in PGII, while the 68.8kDa antigen was related to normal PG values (decreased PGII and elevated PGI/PGII levels) indicating that seropositivity to this antigen could be a protective factor to gastric pathology. The seropositivity of the 54.9kDa antigen was related to altered values of PGs indicative of inflammation and gastric atrophy (increased in PGII and decreased in PGI/PGII). The identification of serum alterations in pepsinogen levels related to seropositivity to H. pylori 33.8, 54.9 and 68.8kDa antigens sets a precedent for further study as possible prognostic serological biomarkers.

Abstract
About 13% of all cancers around the world are associated with infectious agents, particularly in low-resource settings. The main infectious agents associated with cancer are Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), that causes gastric cancer, human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes cervical, vulvar, vaginal, penile, anal, and oropharyngeal cancer, hepatitis B and C viruses that cause liver cancer, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), associated with cancers of the cervix, Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and non-Hodgkin´s lymphoma. In Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), about 150,000 cancer cases are caused annually by infections. The LAC Cancer Code Against Cancer consists of a set of 17 evidence-based and individual-level cancer prevention recommendations targeted to the general population, suited to the epidemiological, socioeconomic, and cultural conditions of the region, and tailored to the availability and accessibility of health-care systems. The recommendations with respect to infection-driven malignancies include testing and treating for H. pylori in the context of specific public health programs, vaccination against HPV and Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and detection and treatment of chronic infections with HBV, Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HIV, in addition to the promotion of safe sex and use of condoms to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STI). Countries, policy makers, health care systems and individuals should consider the adoption of these recommendations to help reduce the incidence and mortality of infection-related cancers in LAC, to improve quality of life of individuals and reduce the costs of cancer care in the region.

Abstract
Quadruple therapy comprising 2 antibiotics, a proton pump inhibitor, and bismuth, is recommended for Helicobacter pylori eradication in China. This Phase 1, double-blind, parallel-group study aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of bismuth-containing vonoprazan- or esomeprazole-based quadruple therapy in H. pylori-positive healthy subjects at a single site in China. Quadruple therapy comprising vonoprazan 20 mg or esomeprazole 20 mg with bismuth potassium citrate 600 mg (equivalent to bismuth 220 mg), clarithromycin 500 mg, and amoxicillin 1000 mg was administered twice daily for 2 weeks. Forty-four subjects were enrolled, 22 each in the vonoprazan (mean age, 34.5 years; men, 63.6%) and esomeprazole (mean age, 31.6 years; men, 59.1%) groups. Day 14 bismuth plasma pharmacokinetic parameters area under the plasma concentration-time curve during a dosing interval (geometric mean ratio, 1.07 [90% confidence interval, 0.82-1.40]) and maximum observed plasma concentration (geometric mean ratio, 1.30 [90% confidence interval, 0.94-1.81]) were similar between the treatment groups. At Day 42 follow-up, 100% and 94.4% of subjects were H. pylori negative in the vonoprazan and esomeprazole groups, respectively. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events was similar between the groups, with no serious adverse events. No new safety concerns were identified. In conclusion, vonoprazan had no significant effect on plasma bismuth exposure compared with esomeprazole.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is the primary cause of 78% of gastric cancer cases, providing an opportunity to prevent cancer by controlling a single bacterial pathogen within the complex gastric microbiota. We developed highly selective antimicrobial agents against H. pylori by fusing an H. pylori-binding guide peptide (MM1) to broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptides. The common dairy probiotic Lactococcus lactis was then engineered to secrete these guided antimicrobial peptides (gAMPs). When co-cultured in vitro with H. pylori, the gAMP probiotics lost no toxicity compared to unguided AMP probiotics against the target, H. pylori, while losing >90% of their toxicity against two tested off-target bacteria. To test binding to H. pylori, the MM1 guide was fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP), resulting in enhanced binding compared to unguided GFP as measured by flow cytometry. In contrast, MM1-GFP showed no increased binding over GFP against five different off-target bacteria. These highly selective gAMP probiotics were then tested by oral gavage in mice infected with H. pylori. As a therapy, the probiotics outperformed antibiotic treatment, effectively eliminating H. pylori in just 5 days, and also protected mice from challenge infection as a prophylactic. As expected, the gAMP probiotics were as toxic against H. pylori as the unguided AMP probiotics. However, a strong rebound in gastric species diversity was found with both the selective gAMP probiotics and the non-selective AMP probiotics. Eliminating the extreme microbial dysbiosis caused by H. pylori appeared to be the major factor in diversity recovery. IMPORTANCE Alternatives to antibiotics in the control of Helicobacter pylori and the prevention of gastric cancer are needed. The high prevalence of H. pylori in the human population, the induction of microbial dysbiosis by antibiotics, and increasing antibiotic resistance call for a more sustainable approach. By selectively eliminating the pathogen and retaining the commensal community, H. pylori control may be achieved without adverse health outcomes. Antibiotics are typically used as a therapeutic post-infection, but a more targeted, less disruptive approach could be used as a long-term prophylactic against H. pylori or, by extension, against other gastrointestinal pathogens. Furthermore, the modular nature of the guided antimicrobial peptide (gAMP) technology allows for the substitution of different guides for different pathogens and the use of a cocktail of gAMPs to avoid the development of pathogen resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The eating behaviors of older adults are associated with multiple factors. To promote older adults' healthy diets, it is imperative to comprehensively study the factors associated with the eating behaviors of the aging population group. This study aimed to probe the associated factors of older adults' eating behaviors from a socioecological model (SEM) perspective. METHODS In 2021, a cross-sectional survey was performed to recruit participants in China. The survey data were analyzed using a multivariate generalized linear model to identify the factors associated with eating behaviors in older adults. Standardized regression coefficients (β) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using a multivariate generalized linear model. RESULTS The survey contained 1147 valid older adult participants. Multivariate generalized linear model results showed that older adults with older age [aged 71-80 (β = -0.61), ≥ 81 (β = -1.12)], conscientiousness personality trait (β = -0.27), and higher family health levels (β = -0.23) were inclined to have better eating behaviors. The older adults with higher education levels [junior high school and high school (β = 1.03), junior college and above (β = 1.71)], higher general self-efficacy (β = 0.09), more severe depression symptoms (β = 0.24), and employment (β = 0.82) tended to have poorer eating behaviors. CONCLUSIONS This study identified factors that are specifically associated with older adults' eating behaviors from an SEM perspective. The comprehensive multiple-angle perspective consideration may be a valuable idea for studying healthy eating behaviors in older adults.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common cancer worldwide and makes up a significant component of the global cancer burden. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the most influential risk factor for GC, with the International Agency for Research on Cancer classifying it as a Class I carcinogen for GC. H. pylori has been shown to persist in stomach acid for decades, causing damage to the stomach's mucosal lining, altering gastric hormone release patterns, and potentially altering gastric function. Epidemiological studies have shown that eliminating H. pylori reduces metachronous cancer. Evidence shows that various molecular alterations are present in gastric cancer and precancerous lesions associated with an H. pylori infection. However, although H. pylori can cause oxidative stress-induced gastric cancer, with antioxidants potentially being a treatment for GC, the exact mechanism underlying GC etiology is not fully understood. This review provides an overview of recent research exploring the pathophysiology of H. pylori-induced oxidative stress that can cause cancer and the antioxidant supplements that can reduce or even eliminate GC occurrence.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of vonoprazan-amoxicillin (VA) dual therapy for radically eradicating Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). METHODS The PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang databases were searched up to July 7, 2022, to identify clinical trials comparing the efficacy of VA dual therapy and triple therapy for H. pylori eradication. After evaluating the quality of the included studies, random effects models were conducted, and risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the efficacy and safety of each approach. RESULTS Six publications (including four randomized controlled trials) involving 2019 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, the eradication rate for VA dual therapy was 89.9%, while it was 85.2% for triple therapy based on other acid inhibitors. The eradication rate of H. pylori in the VA dual regimen group was higher than that in the PPI-based (omeprazole or lansoprazole) triple therapy group (RR = 1.15, 95% CI 1.07-1.23, p < 0.0001). However, the efficacy of VA dual therapy was comparable with VA-Clarithromycin (VAC) triple therapy (RR = 0.97, 95% CI 0.93-1.02). Besides, the incidence of adverse reactions in VA dual therapy was also lower than that in triple therapy (RR = 0.80, 95% CI 0.70-0.91, p = 0.0009). CONCLUSION Compared with PPI-based triple therapy, VA dual therapy showed a better therapeutic effect, safety and patient compliance rate for eradicating H. pylori, which should be used as a novel curative strategy in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori infection is a major cause of non-cardia gastric cancer (NCGC), but uncertainty remains about the associations between sero-positivity to different H. pylori antigens and risk of NCGC and cardia gastric cancer (CGC) in different populations. METHODS A case-cohort study in China included ∼500 each of incident NCGC and CGC cases and ∼2000 subcohort participants. Sero-positivity to 12 H. pylori antigens was measured in baseline plasma samples using a multiplex assay. Hazard ratios (HRs) of NCGC and CGC for each marker were estimated using Cox regression. These were further meta-analysed with studies using same assay. RESULTS In the subcohort, sero-positivity for 12 H. pylori antigens varied from 11.4% (HpaA) to 70.8% (CagA). Overall, 10 antigens showed significant associations with risk of NCGC (adjusted HRs: 1.33 to 4.15), and four antigens with CGC (HRs: 1.50 to 2.34). After simultaneous adjustment for other antigens, positive associations remained significant for NCGC (CagA, HP1564, HP0305) and CGC (CagA, HP1564, HyuA). Compared with CagA sero-positive only individuals, those who were positive for all three antigens had an adjusted HR of 5.59 (95% CI 4.68-6.66) for NCGC and 2.17 (95% CI 1.54-3.05) for CGC. In the meta-analysis of NCGC, the pooled relative risk for CagA was 2.96 (95% CI 2.58-3.41) [Europeans: 5.32 (95% CI 4.05-6.99); Asians: 2.41 (95% CI 2.05-2.83); Pheterogeneity<0.0001]. Similar pronounced population differences were also evident for GroEL, HP1564, HcpC and HP0305. In meta-analyses of CGC, two antigens (CagA, HP1564) were significantly associated with a higher risk in Asians but not Europeans. CONCLUSIONS Sero-positivity to several H. pylori antigens was significantly associated with an increased risk of NCGC and CGC, with varying effects between Asian and European populations.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and reducing its mortality has become an urgent public health issue. Gastric microecological dysbiosis (including bacteria, fungi, viruses, acid suppressants, antibiotics, and surgery) can lead to gastric immune dysfunction or result in a decrease in dominant bacteria and an increase in the number and virulence of pathogenic microorganisms, which in turn promotes development of GC. This review analyzes the relationship between gastric microecological dysbiosis and GC, elucidates dynamic alterations of the microbiota in Correa's cascade, and identifies certain specific microorganisms as potential biomarkers of GC to aid in early screening and diagnosis. In addition, this paper presents the potential of gastric microbiota transplantation as a therapeutic target for gastric cancer, providing a new direction for future research in this field.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to update the association between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and gastric cancer (GC). METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library from 1990 to December 2021 to identify prospective studies. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were summarized to validate the relationship between H. pylori infection and GC. RESULTS Including 27 studies, findings indicated a strong link between H. pylori and non-cardia gastric cancer (NCGC) in both Europe/North America (OR=5.37, 95%CI:4.39-6.57) and Asia (OR = 2.50, 95%CI:1.89-3.32), and a positive association with cardia gastric cancer (CGC) in Asia (OR = 1.74, 95%CI:1.38-2.19), but an inverse association in European/American populations (OR = 0.64, 95%CI: 0.51 to 0.79). Furthermore, the strength of association was greater in studies that detected H. pylori by immunoblotting versus ELISA, and also in studies testing for H. pylori detection further back in time prior to cancer diagnosis (Ptrend<0.05). Approximately 79% of NCGC in Asia and 87% in Europe/North America, along with 62% of CGC in Asia, could be attributable to H. pylori infection. CONCLUSIONS The meta-analysis supports the significant attributable risk of H. pylori infection for GC and underscores the potential impact of targeting H. pylori in GC prevention programs.

[PMID: 37195446 DOI: 10.1007/s00109-023-02332-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/18/2023]
Abstract
Helicobacter pylori-induced chronic gastritis represents a well-established risk factor for gastric cancer (GC). However, the mechanism by which chronic inflammation caused by H. pylori induces the development of GC is unclear. H. pylori can influence host cell signalling pathways to induce gastric disease development and mediate cancer promotion and progression. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), play a key role in the gastrointestinal innate immune response, and their signalling has been implicated in the pathogenesis of an increasing number of inflammation-associated cancers. The core adapter myeloid differentiation factor-88 (MyD88) is shared by most TLRs and functions primarily in H. pylori-triggered innate immune signalling. MyD88 is envisioned as a potential target for the regulation of immune responses and is involved in the regulation of tumourigenesis in a variety of cancer models. In recent years, the TLR/MyD88 signalling pathway has received increasing attention for its role in regulating innate and adaptive immune responses, inducing inflammatory activation and promoting tumour formation. In addition, TLR/MyD88 signalling can manipulate the expression of infiltrating immune cells and various cytokines in the tumour microenvironment (TME). In this review, we discuss the pathogenetic regulatory mechanisms of the TLR/MyD88 signalling cascade pathway and its downstream molecules in H. pylori infection-induced-associated GC. The focus is to elucidate the immunomolecular mechanisms of pathogen recognition and innate immune system activation of H. pylori in the TME of inflammation-associated GC. Ultimately, this study will provide insight into the mechanism of H. pylori-induced chronic inflammation-induced GC development and provide thoughts for GC prevention and treatment strategies.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the deadliest tumors due to its competence to invade and metastasize. The DNA repair gene (XRCC1), interleukin-8 (IL-8) gene, and B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) gene play a crucial role in the development and progression of GC. This study aimed to evaluate the expression of these target genes in GC patients in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. Gastric cancer tissues were collected from 29 patients diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma that underwent gastric resection, and 21 tissue samples were obtained from healthy patients that underwent gastroscopy. The gastric tissues were collected in different hospitals in Erbil and Sulaymaniyah cities in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. Moreover, the data regarding Helicobacter pylori, age, gender, and stage of the disease were recorded and analyzed using GraphPad Prism. The gene expression levels of XRCC1, IL-8, and Bcl-2 from gastric tissue were studied by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The results showed that H. pylori infection was equally distributed among males and females in the tissues of gastric patients, while most of the H. pylori-negative patients were females. It is also found that gastric patients aged 30-60 years old are more commonly tested for the H. pylori test. Accordingly, in this study, patients diagnosed with gastric inflammation more often tested positive for H. pylori, while patients diagnosed with gastric cancer tested negative for this infection. Additionally, it was found that the target genes (XRCC1, IL-8, and Bcl-2) were significantly upregulated in GC patients, compared to the healthy group. Finally, the result revealed that XRCC1, IL-8, and Bcl-2 were upregulated in the Kurdish patients with GC, compared to the healthy control group. Targeting XRCC1, IL-8, and Bcl-2 genes can be an interesting field and promising strategy for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is a major public health problem worldwide, with high mortality rates due to late diagnosis and limited treatment options. Biomarker research is essential to improve the early detection of GC. Technological advances and research methodologies have improved diagnostic tools, identifying several potential biomarkers for GC, including microRNA, DNA methylation markers, and protein-based biomarkers. Although most studies have focused on identifying biomarkers in biofluids, the low specificity of these markers has limited their use in clinical practice. This is because many cancers share similar alterations and biomarkers, so obtaining them from the site of disease origin could yield more specific results. As a result, recent research efforts have shifted towards exploring gastric juice (GJ) as an alternative source for biomarker identification. Since GJ is a waste product during a gastroscopic examination, it could provide a "liquid biopsy" enriched with disease-specific biomarkers generated directly at the damaged site. Furthermore, as it contains secretions from the stomach lining, it could reflect changes associated with the developmental stage of GC. This narrative review describes some potential biomarkers for gastric cancer screening identified in gastric juice.

Abstract
Because of its significant advantage of fast postoperative recovery, natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) has attracted increasing attention worldwide. However, the NOSES in gastric cancer (GC) treatment still needs more clinical practice, especially for the rare anatomical anomaly. Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare autosomal recessive anatomical anomaly with an incidence ranging between 1/8,000 and 1/25,000 births. We present a video of transvaginal specimen extraction following totally laparoscopic D2 distal gastrectomy performed in a 59-year-old woman known to have SIT. Preoperative investigations revealed that the patient had early GC at the antrum. A gastroscopy report from the local hospital showed signet-ring cell carcinoma. The preoperative computed tomography scan revealed irregular thickening of the gastric wall at the junction of the greater curvature and antrum without metastasis to the lymph nodes. In total, laparoscopic D2 distal gastrectomy was performed with transvaginal specimen extraction. Billroth II with Braun anastomosis was performed for reconstruction. The length of the operation was 240 min without intraoperative complications and with minimal blood loss of 50 ml. The patient was uneventfully discharged on postoperative Day 7. The final pathology confirmed signet-ring cell carcinoma confined to the mucosal muscle without metastasis in 16 lymph nodes. Transvaginal specimen extraction following totally laparoscopic D2 distal gastrectomy can be safely performed in patients with SIT and has similar surgical outcomes to usual laparoscopic gastrectomy.

Abstract
In the past period, due to the rapid development of next-generation sequencing technology, accumulating evidence has clarified the complex role of the human microbiota in the development of cancer and the therapeutic response. More importantly, available evidence seems to indicate that modulating the composition of the gut microbiota to improve the efficacy of anti-cancer drugs may be feasible. However, intricate complexities exist, and a deep and comprehensive understanding of how the human microbiota interacts with cancer is critical to realize its full potential in cancer treatment. The purpose of this review is to summarize the initial clues on molecular mechanisms regarding the mutual effects between the gut microbiota and cancer development, and to highlight the relationship between gut microbes and the efficacy of immunotherapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and cancer surgery, which may provide insights into the formulation of individualized therapeutic strategies for cancer management. In addition, the current and emerging microbial interventions for cancer therapy as well as their clinical applications are summarized. Although many challenges remain for now, the great importance and full potential of the gut microbiota cannot be overstated for the development of individualized anti-cancer strategies, and it is necessary to explore a holistic approach that incorporates microbial modulation therapy in cancer.

Eradication rates of Helicobacter pylori in treatment-naive patients following 14-day vonoprazan-amoxicillin dual therapy: A multicenter randomized controlled trial in China. Helicobacter 2023:e12970. [PMID: 37160689 DOI: 10.1111/hel.12970] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CAB) are recommended for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infections, but dual therapy of P-CAB with amoxicillin has been poorly studied. The current study compared the efficacy, adverse reactions, compliance, and effects on gut microbiota of 14-day vonoprazan-amoxicillin (VA) dual therapy with esomeprazole, bismuth potassium citrate, amoxicillin, and metronidazole (EBAM) quadruple therapy in treatment-naive patients with H. pylori. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a multicenter, open-label, randomized, and controlled, non-inferiority study. Patients (n = 194) enrolled from six centers were randomly divided into either the VA or EBAM group. H. pylori eradication was determined using 13 C urea breath tests (UBT) 4-6 weeks post-treatment. Fecal samples were collected, and gut microbial populations were analyzed by 16S rDNA and metagenomic sequencing technology. RESULTS Eradication rates of H. pylori in the VA and EBAM groups were 88.7% and 91.8%, respectively, according to intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis; 95.6% and 96.7% with per-protocol (PP) analysis; and 94.5% and 96.7% with modified ITT (mITT) analysis (all p > 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the VA group was significantly lower compared to the EBAM group, and compliance within both groups was good. There was no difference in α-diversity or microbial composition in the VA and EBAM groups at one-month post-treatment compared to baseline, except for a markedly reduced abundance of Bacteroides in the EBAM group. CONCLUSION VA therapy achieved excellent eradication rates with low adverse reactions, good compliance, and little impact on gut microbiota. VA therapy should be recommended as a first-line treatment against H. pylori.

Population-based investigation of common and deviating patterns of gastric cancer and oesophageal cancer incidence across populations and time. Gut 2023; 72:846-854.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The subtypes of gastric cancer (GC) and oesophageal cancer (EC) manifest distinct epidemiological profiles. Here, we aim to examine correlations in their incidence rates and to compare their temporal changes globally, both overall and by subtype. METHODS Long-term incidence data were obtained from population-based registries available from the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents series. Variation in the occurrence of EC and GC (overall and by subtype) was assessed using the GC:EC ratio of sex-specific age-standardised rates (ASR) in 2008-2012. Average annual per cent changes were estimated to assess temporal trends during 1998-2012. RESULTS ASRs for GC and EC varied remarkably across and within world regions. In the countries evaluated, the GC:EC ratio in men exceeded 10 in several South American countries, Algeria and Republic of Korea, while EC dominated in most sub-Saharan African countries. High rates of both cardia gastric cancer and oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) were observed in several Asian populations. Non-cardia gastric cancer rates correlated positively with ESCC rates (r=0.60) and negatively with EAC (r=-0.79). For the time trends, while GC incidence has been uniformly decreasing by on average 2%-3% annually over 1998-2012 in most countries, trends for EC depend strongly on histology, with several but not all countries experiencing increases in EAC and decreases in ESCC. CONCLUSIONS Correlations between GC and EC incidence rates across populations are positive or inverse depending on the GC subsite and EC subtype. Multisite studies that include a combination of populations whose incidence rates follow and deviate from these patterns may be aetiologically informative.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Effective risk prediction models are lacking for personalized endoscopic screening of gastric cancer (GC). We aimed to develop, validate, and evaluate a questionnaire-based GC risk assessment tool for risk prediction and stratification in the Chinese population. METHODS In this three-stage multicenter study, we first selected eligible variables by Cox regression models and constructed a GC risk score (GCRS) based on regression coefficients in 416,343 subjects (aged 40-75 years) from the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB, development cohort). In the same age range, we validated the GCRS effectiveness in 13,982 subjects from another independent Changzhou cohort (validation cohort) as well as in 5348 subjects from an endoscopy screening program in Yangzhou. Finally, we categorized participants into low (bottom 20%), intermediate (20-80%), and high risk (top 20%) groups by the GCRS distribution in the development cohort. RESULTS The GCRS using 11 questionnaire-based variables demonstrated a Harrell's C-index of 0.754 (95% CI, 0.745-0.762) and 0.736 (95% CI, 0.710-0.761) in the two cohorts, respectively. In the validation cohort, the 10-year risk was 0.34%, 1.05%, and 4.32% for individuals with a low (≤ 13.6), intermediate (13.7~30.6), and high (≥ 30.7) GCRS, respectively. In the endoscopic screening program, the detection rate of GC varied from 0.00% in low-GCRS individuals, 0.27% with intermediate GCRS, to 2.59% with high GCRS. A proportion of 81.6% of all GC cases was identified from the high-GCRS group, which represented 28.9% of all the screened participants. CONCLUSIONS The GCRS can be an effective risk assessment tool for tailored endoscopic screening of GC in China. Risk Evaluation for Stomach Cancer by Yourself (RESCUE), an online tool was developed to aid the use of GCRS.

Abstract
Gastric cancer, the fifth leading cause of cancer worldwide, is estimated to be responsible for approximately 1.4% of all new cancers and 1.8% of all cancer-related deaths in the United States. Despite declining incidence rates and improved survival rates, however, gastric cancer continues to disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minorities and individuals of lower socioeconomic status at higher rates than the general population. To improve outcomes globally and address disparities within the United States, continued improvements are needed in risk factor modification and biomarker development and to improve access to existing preventative measures such as genetic testing and H. pylori eradication testing, in addition to expanding upon current clinical guidelines for premalignant disease to address gaps in endoscopic surveillance and early detection.

Yunusa I, Love BL. Cost-Effectiveness of Vonoprazan-Based and Rifabutin-Based vs Other Regimens as First-Line Treatment of Helicobacter pylori Infection in the United States. Am J Gastroenterol 2023; 118:635-644. [PMID: 36693030 DOI: 10.14309/ajg.0000000000002146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The economic and clinical implications of eradicating Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) with vonoprazan-based and rifabutin-based regimens vs other existing prepackaged first-line treatment options in the United States are unknown. Therefore, we evaluated the cost-effectiveness of vonoprazan-based and rifabutin-based and other prepackaged regimens for the first-line treatment of H. pylori from the perspective of US healthcare payers. METHODS We used the state-transition Markov model to conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis of H. pylori eradication with clarithromycin triple, bismuth quadruple, vonoprazan dual, vonoprazan triple, and rifabutin triple regimens. In a cycle length of 2 months, the model estimated the expected costs (expressed in 2022 US$), expected quality-adjusted life-years (QALY), incremental cost-effectiveness ratios, and expected net monetary benefit over 20 years. In addition, we accounted for the present value of future costs and QALY by applying a 3% discounting rate. RESULTS In this study, rifabutin triple therapy had a lower expected cost but was more effective than clarithromycin triple, bismuth quadruple, and vonoprazan dual regimens; hence, it dominated them. Vonoprazan triple therapy had a higher expected cost (US$ 1,172 vs US$ 1,048) and expected QALY (14.262 vs 14.256) than rifabutin triple therapy, yielding an estimated incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of US$ 22,573/QALY. The study suggested that vonoprazan triple treatment had the highest expected net monetary benefit and was the most cost-effective at willingness-to-pay thresholds between US$50,000 and US$150,000 per QALY, followed by rifabutin triple therapy. DISCUSSION H. pylori infection eradication with vonoprazan triple therapy would provide the greatest net health and monetary benefit from the perspective of US healthcare payers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Evidence suggests that a fraction of new gastric cancer cases may be etiologically associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a known carcinogenic agent. We aimed to systematically explore the proportion of EBV-positive gastric cancer. METHODS We did a systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42020164473) from January 1990 to August 2021. For each country and geographical region with available data, pooled prevalence and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of EBV in gastric tumors were calculated for 3 subtypes of gastric adenocarcinoma (conventional adenocarcinoma, lymphoepithelioma-like gastric carcinoma, and remnant/stump carcinoma). For conventional adenocarcinoma, prevalence ratios (PRs) were presented for sex, Lauren's classification, gastric cancer stage, and anatomical location of the stomach. RESULTS In 220 eligible studies including over 68,000 cases of conventional gastric adenocarcinoma, EBV prevalence in tumor cells was 7.5% (95% CI, 6.9%-8.1%) and was higher in men compared with women (PR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.9-2.4), in diffuse type compared with intestinal type (PR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.1-1.5), and in the proximal region compared with the distal region (PR, 2.5; 95% CI, 2.0-3.1). There was no difference in EBV prevalence by gastric cancer stage. EBV prevalence was 75.9% (95% CI, 62.8%-85.5%) among lymphoepithelioma-like gastric carcinoma and 26.3% (95% CI, 22.2%-32.0%) among remnant or stump carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS Assuming a causal association between EBV and gastric cancer, our findings, when applied to the GLOBOCAN 2020 gastric cancer incidence, suggest that primary prevention such as the development of an effective EBV vaccine might prevent 81,000 EBV-associated gastric cancer cases worldwide annually.

Abstract
Gastroscopy is the reference standard for the diagnosis of gastric cancer, but it is operator-dependent and associated with missed gastric cancer. The proliferation of gastroscopic examinations, increasingly for the screening and detection of subtle premalignant lesions, has motivated scrutiny of quality in gastroscopy. The concept of a high-quality endoscopic examination for the detection of superficial gastric neoplasia has been defined by expert guidelines to improve mucosal visualization, engender a systematic examination process and detect superficial neoplasia. This review discusses the evidence supporting the components of a high-quality diagnostic gastroscopic examination in relation to the detection of gastric cancer, and their potential role as procedural quality indicators to drive a structured improvement in clinically meaningful outcomes.
