Antioxidants (Basel) 2024; 13:891. [PMID: 39199137 PMCID: PMC11352064 DOI: 10.3390/antiox13080891] [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: 06/12/2024] [Revised: 07/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/18/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024] Open
Abstract
HT074, a multiherbal mixture containing extracts from Inula britannica flowers and Paeonia lactiflora roots, is used in Korean medicine for gastric disorders. This study investigated the protective mechanisms of HT074 against acute reflux esophagitis (RE) in rats. Nitric oxide (NO) production and mRNA expression of antioxidant-related genes (Nrf2, HO-1, SOD, CAT, and GPx2) were evaluated in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) was induced in rats, followed by HT074 (100, 300 mg/kg) or ranitidine (50 mg/kg) administration. Esophageal damage and histological changes were assessed. Gastric pH and protein expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1, SOD, CAT, and GPx-1/2 were measured. HT074 pretreatment reduced NO production and increased the expression of HO-1, CAT, and GPx2 in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. In GER-induced rats, HT074 significantly decreased esophageal lesions and increased the expression of HO-1, SOD, GPx-1/2, and Nrf2. HT074 did not affect gastric pH. These findings suggest that HT074 protects against GER-induced esophagitis by inhibiting NO production and enhancing antioxidant activity. Therefore, HT074 could be a promising therapeutic agent for GER disease.

Abstract
Background Adverse effects of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have raised wide concerns. The association of PPIs with influenza is unexplored, while that with pneumonia or COVID-19 remains controversial. Our study aims to evaluate whether PPI use increases the risks of these respiratory infections. Methods The current study included 160,923 eligible participants at baseline who completed questionnaires on medication use, which included PPI or histamine-2 receptor antagonist (H2RA), from the UK Biobank. Cox proportional hazards regression and propensity score-matching analyses were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results Comparisons with H2RA users were tested. PPI use was associated with increased risks of developing influenza (HR 1.32, 95% CI 1.12-1.56) and pneumonia (hazard ratio [HR] 1.42, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.26-1.59). In contrast, the risk of COVID-19 infection was not significant with regular PPI use (HR 1.08, 95% CI 0.99-1.17), while the risks of severe COVID-19 (HR 1.19. 95% CI 1.11-1.27) and mortality (HR 1.37. 95% CI 1.29-1.46) were increased. However, when compared with H2RA users, PPI users were associated with a higher risk of influenza (HR 1.74, 95% CI 1.19-2.54), but the risks with pneumonia or COVID-19-related outcomes were not evident. Conclusions PPI users are associated with increased risks of influenza, pneumonia, as well as COVID-19 severity and mortality compared to non-users, while the effects on pneumonia or COVID-19-related outcomes under PPI use were attenuated when compared to the use of H2RAs. Appropriate use of PPIs based on comprehensive evaluation is required.

The Impact of Proton Pump Inhibitors on the Efficacy of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Combinations in Patients with HBV-Associated Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma. J Hepatocell Carcinoma 2024; 11:1311-1321. [PMID: 38979082 PMCID: PMC11230117 DOI: 10.2147/jhc.s464033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose There is limited research on whether Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) will affect the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).This study aimed to determine whether PPIs affect the survival outcomes of patients with HBV-associated advanced HCC receiving combination therapy based on ICIs. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated advanced HCC who underwent ICIs combination therapy from January 1, 2020, to December 30, 2022. Patients were stratified into PPI and non-PPI groups based on whether they received PPI treatment within 30 days before or after ICIs therapy. Patients' survival and the risk of PPI-associated mortality was assessed. Adverse events were also evaluated. Results A total of 183 patients with HBV-associated HCC treated with ICI combination therapy were included. The median survival time (12.5 months vs 13.7 months, P = 0.285) and incidence of adverse events (P = 0.729) did not significantly differ between the PPI and non-PPI groups. Even after propensity score matching, the difference in median overall survival (OS) between the two groups was not significant (10.7 months vs 11.4 months; P = 0.596) and the patient's OS is not significantly related to the dosage of PPI application (P > 0.05).However, according to our subgroup analysis, among HCC patients with a serum HBV DNA concentration ≥ 200 IU/mL, the use of PPIs significantly increased the risk of mortality in patients receiving ICI combination therapy (P = 0.024). Conclusion PPIs do not notably influence the survival prognosis of patients receiving ICI combination therapy for HBV-associated advanced HCC. However, among patients with high levels of HBV DNA, PPIs increase the risk of mortality. Therefore, antiviral therapy should be intensified in the patients with HBVDNA > 200 IU/mL. Additionally, PPIs do not impact the incidence of adverse reactions in these patients.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus and obesity are rapidly growing worldwide. Aside from metabolic disturbances, these two disorders also affect bone with a higher prevalence of bone fractures. In the last decade, a growing body of evidence suggested that several gut hormones, including ghrelin, gastrin, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), glucagon, and glucagon-like peptide-1 and 2 (GLP-1 and GLP-2, respectively) may affect bone physiology. Several gut hormone analogues have been developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity, and could represent a new alternative in the therapeutic arsenal against bone fragility. In the present review, a summary of the physiological roles of these gut hormones and their analogues is presented at the cellular level but also in several preclinical models of bone fragility disorders including type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially on bone mineral density, microarchitecture and bone material properties. The present review also summarizes the impact of GLP-1 receptor agonists approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and the more recent dual or triple analogue on bone physiology and strength.

Abstract
Barrett's oesophagus is the only known precursor to oesophageal adenocarcinoma, a cancer with very poor prognosis. The main risk factors for Barrett's oesophagus are a history of gastro-oesophageal acid reflux symptoms and obesity. Men, smokers and those with a family history are also at increased risk. Progression from Barrett's oesophagus to cancer occurs via an intermediate stage, known as dysplasia. However, dysplasia and early cancer usually develop without any clinical signs, often in individuals whose symptoms are well controlled by acid suppressant medications; therefore, endoscopic surveillance is recommended to allow for early diagnosis and timely clinical intervention. Individuals with Barrett's oesophagus need to be fully informed about the implications of this diagnosis and the benefits and risks of monitoring strategies. Pharmacological treatments are recommended for control of symptoms, but not for chemoprevention. Dysplasia and stage 1 oesophageal adenocarcinoma have excellent prognoses, since they can be cured with endoscopic or surgical therapies. Endoscopic resection is the most accurate staging technique for early Barrett's-related oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Endoscopic ablation is effective and indicated to eradicate Barrett's oesophagus in patients with dysplasia. Future research should focus on improved accuracy for dysplasia detection via new technologies and providing more robust evidence to support pathways for follow-up and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used throughout the world as an effective gastrointestinal drug. Nevertheless, according to the existing literature, PPIs can reduce the excretion of magnesium, calcium and other components in urine, which may promote the formation of kidney stones. We used the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database to further investigate the association between the use of PPIs and the prevalence of kidney stones. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional analysis using data from 2007 to 2018 NHANES. PPIs use information of 29,910 participants was obtained by using prescription medications in the preceding month, and kidney stones were presented by a standard questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis and stratified analysis were used to estimate the association between PPIs use and kidney stones after an adjustment for potential confounders. RESULTS The multiple logistic regression indicated that the PPIs exposure group (P1) had a significantly higher risk of nephrolithiasis than the PPIs non-exposure group (P0) in Model 3 (OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.10-1.39, P < 0.001). The stratified analyses indicated there were significant statistical differences between PPIs use and kidney stones among females (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.15-1.62, P < 0.001), non-Hispanic whites (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.09-1.48, P = 0.002), individuals with an education level than 11th grade (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.13-1.76, P = 0.002) and individuals with an annual family income of $0 to $19,999 (OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.06-1.65, P = 0.014) and $20,000 to $44,999 (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.02-1.54, P = 0.033) in Model 3. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed that PPIs use is associated with a higher prevalence of kidney stones for the US population, primarily among women, non-Hispanic whites, individuals with low education levels and individuals with low household income levels. Further studies are required to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common diseases seen by gastroenterologists worldwide. A significant proportion of patients have a suboptimal response to acid inhibitors, especially proton pump inhibitors and potassium-competitive acid blockers. Due to concerns regarding the safety of long-term medication, many patients are unwilling to take lifelong medication. Endoscopic antireflux management offers a minimally invasive option for GERD patients. In recent decades, there have been several endoscopic antireflux therapies, including radiofrequency therapy, transoral fundoplication, and mucosal resection or mucosal ablation. Of these, antireflux mucosectomy (ARMS) is an effective and safe therapy for refractory GERD. This review provides an updated summary of antireflux mucosectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS The adverse effects of long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have led to growing concern. The association between PPIs use and the risks of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains controversial. GOAL The aim of this study was to investigate the association between PPIs use and the risks of NAFLD among the general adult population in the United States. STUDY We performed a cross-sectional study by extracting data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey of 2017 to 2018. The association between PPIs use and NAFLD risks was analyzed by weighted multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS Among the 4238 participants included in this study, 2167 were diagnosed with NAFLD. In the multivariate logistic regression model, PPIs use was associated with increased risks of NAFLD [odds ratio (OR): 1.318, 95% CI: 1.044-1.663; P=0.020]. This association was nonsignificant in participants taking PPIs for ˂5 years (OR: 0.846, 95% CI: 0.579-1.238; P=0.390), whereas it remained significant in participants taking PPIs for more than 5 years (OR: 2.016, 95% CI: 1.366-2.975; P=0.031). Further analysis showed that the use of PPIs was positively associated with risks of severe hepatic steatosis (OR: 1.451, 95% CI: 1.034-2.036; P=0.031) but not with mild-to-moderate steatosis (OR: 1.242, 95% CI: 0.886-1.741; P=0.208). CONCLUSIONS This study indicated that taking PPIs was associated with increased risks of NAFLD, especially severe hepatic steatosis. Awareness should be raised regarding the potential risks of NAFLD when prescribing PPIs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acid suppression medications, such as proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine-2 receptor antagonists, are commonly prescribed for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease and other gastrointestinal disorders. However, concerns regarding potential long-term side effects are brought up by the overuse of PPIs. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between PPI usage, allergy, and asthma in the general US population. METHODS Data of individuals aged ≥20 years who had information on PPI use and questionnaires on allergy and asthma in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2006 were analyzed. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the associations between PPI use, prevalent allergy, and asthma. RESULTS A total of 4,481 participants (representing 198,543,007 US individuals after weighting) were included in the analyses. PPI use was not significantly associated with the presence of allergy or asthma in the general study population after adjustment. However, in females without steroid exposure, PPI use was significantly associated with increased odds of allergy (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.69, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.002-2.86), among which esomeprazole use was significantly associated with increased odds of allergy (aOR = 2.68, 95% CI: 1.30-5.54) and lansoprazole with increased odds of asthma (aOR = 3.44, 95% CI: 1.50-7.87) as compared to no PPI use. Duration of PPI use was not significantly associated with allergy or asthma. CONCLUSIONS In US women without steroid exposure, PPI use is associated with increased likelihood of prevalent allergy and asthma.

Goldman S, Zhao J, Bieber B, Pisoni RL, Horowitz L, Nessim SJ, Piraino B, Lambie M, Kanjanabuch T, Ito Y, Boudville N, Teitelbaum I, Schreiber M, Perl J. Gastric Acid Suppression Therapy and Its Association with Peritoneal Dialysis-Associated Peritonitis in the Peritoneal Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (PDOPPS). KIDNEY360 2024; 5:370-379. [PMID: 38019215 PMCID: PMC11000729 DOI: 10.34067/kid.0000000000000325] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023]
Abstract
Key Points In a large multinational cohort of PD patients, any GAS use was not associated with an increased risk of all-organism peritonitis. For peritonitis, risks were particularly high among certain classes of organisms particularly for Gram-negative, enteric, and streptococcal peritonitis episodes. The association with enteric peritonitis appeared to be stronger among H2RA users. Background Peritonitis is a major peritoneal dialysis–related complication. We determined whether gastric acid suppression (GAS) (proton pump inhibitor [PPI] or histamine-2 receptor antagonists [H2RAs]) use was associated with all-cause and organism-specific peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods In the Peritoneal Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (595 facilities, eight countries, years 2014–2022), associations between GAS use and time to first episode of all-cause peritonitis were examined using Cox proportional hazards models. The primary exposure of interest was GAS and secondarily PPI or H2RA use. Secondary outcomes were organism-specific peritonitis, peritonitis cure rates, and death. Results Among patients (N =23,797) at study baseline, 6020 (25.3%) used PPIs, and 1382 (5.8%) used H2RAs. Overall risks of GAS use and peritonitis risk (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR]=1.05, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.98 to 1.13]) and use of PPI (AHR 1.06 [95% CI, 0.99 to 1.14]) or H2RA (AHR 1.02 [95% CI, 0.88 to 1.18]) did not reach statistical significance. In organism-specific analyses, GAS users displayed higher peritonitis risks for Gram-negative (AHR 1.29, 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.57), Gram-positive (AHR 1.15, 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.31), culture-negative (AHR 1.20, 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.42), enteric (AHR 1.23, 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.48), and particularly Streptococcal (AHR 1.47, 95% CI, 1.15 to 1.89) peritonitis episodes. GAS was also associated with higher overall mortality (AHR 1.13 [95% CI, 1.05 to 1.22]). Conclusion The association between GAS use and peritonitis risk was weaker (hazard ratio [HR] 1.05 [0.98 to 1.13]) than for streptococcal (HR 1.57 [1.15 to 1.89]) and Gram-negative (HR 1.29 [1.05 to 1.57]) peritonitis. A better understanding of mechanisms surrounding the differential effects of GAS subtype on peritonitis risks is needed. Clinicians should be cautious when prescribing GAS. The impact of GAS deprescribing on peritonitis risk requires further evaluation.

Osseous implications of proton pump inhibitor therapy: An umbrella review. Bone Rep 2024; 20:101741. [PMID: 38348455 PMCID: PMC10859261 DOI: 10.1016/j.bonr.2024.101741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most commonly prescribed medications worldwide for acid-related disorders. While their short-term efficacy and safety are well-established, concerns regarding their long-term effects on bone health have emerged. This umbrella review aimed to synthesize the available findings on the associations between PPI use and bone metabolism outcomes. Methods An electronic search was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Database up to September 16, 2023. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies that evaluated the relationship between PPIs and bone metabolism outcomes were included. Data extraction, quality appraisal, and synthesis were performed in line with the Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA guidelines. The strength of the evidence was graded using the GRADE criteria. Statistical analysis was performed in R version 4.3. Results Out of 299 records, 27 studies met the inclusion criteria. The evidence indicated a statistically significant increased risk of fractures, notably hip, spine, and wrist fractures, in PPI users. PPI use was associated with changes in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) across various bones, though the clinical relevance of these changes remains uncertain. Furthermore, PPI-induced hypomagnesemia, which can influence bone health, was identified. A notable finding was the increased risk of dental implant failures in PPI users. However, the certainty of most of the evidence ranged from very low to low based on GRADE criteria. Conclusion The long-term use of PPIs may be associated with adverse bone health outcomes, including increased fracture risk, alterations in BMD, hypomagnesemia, and dental implant failure. While these findings highlight potential concerns for long-term PPI users, the current evidence's low certainty underscores the need for robust, high-quality research to clarify these associations.

Xiao Y, Xu W, Niu D, Quan Z, Wang L. Investigation into the impact of proton pump inhibitors on sertraline transport across the blood-brain barrier. Eur J Pharm Sci 2024; 194:106653.

Abstract
As a widely used antidepressant that works by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin, sertraline exerts an antidepressant effect depending on its concentration in the brain, which might be limited by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). It is highly possible to combine proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) with sertraline in clinical trials. Nevertheless, the role played by PPIs in regulating the transport of sertraline across the BBB remains unclear. Here, the impact of PPIs on the distribution of sertraline in the brain and the mechanisms involved were investigated. A mouse brain distribution study showed that Omeprazole (OME), Pantoprazole (PAN), Ilaprazole (ILA), and Esomeprazole (ESO) increased the area under the brain concentration-time curves (AUC) for sertraline by 2.02-, 3.18-, 3.04-, and 4.21-fold, respectively, after the 14-day administration of PPIs. Besides, PPIs significantly increased the permeability of sertraline in brain perfusion experiments, with PAN having the highest rank order, followed by ILA, OME, and ESO. In the tail suspension test (TST), co-administration PPI groups showed significantly shorter immobility time than the control group. In vitro, four PPIs inhibited sertraline efflux in breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP)-overexpressing MDCKII cells, and showed a mixed inhibition type. In this study, PPIs were further found to inhibit the mRNA and protein expression of brain BCRP. To sum up, the findings of this study revealed that PPIs could enhance the brain distribution and antidepressant effect of sertraline, which may be attributed to the inhibition of BCRP expression at the BBB by PPIs.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers constitute more than 33% of new cancer cases worldwide and pose a considerable burden on public health. There exists a growing body of evidence that has systematically recorded an upward trajectory in GI malignancies within the last 5 to 10 years, thus presenting a formidable menace to the health of the human population. The perturbations in GI microbiota may have a noteworthy influence on the advancement of GI cancers; however, the precise mechanisms behind this association are still not comprehensively understood. Some bacteria have been observed to support cancer development, while others seem to provide a safeguard against it. Recent studies have indicated that alterations in the composition and abundance of microbiomes could be associated with the progression of various GI cancers, such as colorectal, gastric, hepatic, and esophageal cancers. Within this comprehensive analysis, we examine the significance of microbiomes, particularly those located in the intestines, in GI cancers. Furthermore, we explore the impact of microbiomes on various treatment modalities for GI cancer, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy. Additionally, we delve into the intricate mechanisms through which intestinal microbes influence the efficacy of GI cancer treatments.

Abstract
We investigated the association of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use with the risk of stroke and ischemic heart disease (IHD). The Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening cohort from 2002 to 2003, the participants of which were followed up until 2019, was used. In study I, 45,905 participants who were diagnosed with stroke were matched with 91,810 control I participants. The history of PPI medication was examined. In study II, 40,928 participants who were diagnosed with IHD were matched with 81,856 control II participants. In both study I and study II, the previous history of PPI medication was examined. A propensity score overlap-weighted multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to estimate the overlap-weighted odds ratios (ORs) of PPI use for stroke (study I) and IHD (study II). Current PPI use was linked with higher odds for stroke in study I. The odds for stroke were higher in groups with a longer duration of PPI use (OR = 0.96 [95% CI = 0.92-1.00] < 1.55 [1.50-1.61] < 1.62 [1.57-1.68] for < 30 days, 30 to 180 days, and ≥180 days of PPI use). Previous PPI use was linked with higher odds for IHD in study II. The odds for stroke were higher in groups with a longer duration of PPI use (OR = 1.13 [95% CI = 1.08-1.18] < 2.12 [2.04-2.21] < 2.60 [2.51-2.69] for <30 days, 30 to 180 days, and ≥180 days of PPI use). Current PPI medication is associated with a high risk of stroke and IHD. A longer duration of PPI medication was related to a higher risk of stroke and IHD. However, a prior history of PPI medication was not linked with a high risk of stroke or IHD.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Terminalia argentea Mart. (Combretaceae) is a deciduous tree commonly found in Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. It occurs in all regions of Brazil and is widespread in the Amazon, Cerrado, Pantanal, Atlantic Rain Forest, and Caatinga Biomes. In the traditional medicine of Brazil, people widely use tea or decoction of its leaf materials for treating gastritis, ulcers, wound healing, and inflammation. AIM OF THE STUDY The current study aims to evaluate the gastroprotective and ulcer-healing activities of the hydroethanolic extract of T. argentea leaves (HETa) and investigate the underlying mechanisms of action through in vivo and in vitro experiments. METHODS We extracted the leaves of T. argentea with a 70% hydroethanolic solution (HETa) and performed phytochemical analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MSn). We researched the antiulcer activity using in vivo and in vitro experiments, administering three doses (2, 10, and 50 mg/kg) and different concentrations of 1, 5, and 20 μg/mL, respectively. We verified the acute antiulcer activity using chemical models (acidified ethanol (EtOH/HCl) and indomethacin (IND)) and physiological models (water-immersion stress (WRS)). To induce chronic ulcers, used acetic acid and treated the animals for seven days. To investigate the mechanism of action, conducted assays of antioxidant activity, measured the dosage of inflammatory cytokines, quantified mucus, treated with inhibitors (IND, L-NAME, glibenclamide, and yohimbine), performed histopathological analysis, and measured gastric acid secretion. Furthermore, we performed in vitro experiments on murine macrophage cell lines (RAW 264-7 cells) to quantify nitrite/nitrate and cytokine production and on V79-4 cells to verify cell proliferation/migration. RESULTS We conducted HPLC and ESI-MSn analyses to obtain a fingerprint of the chemical composition of the HETa, revealing the presence of phenolics (caffeoyl ellagic acid), flavonoids (rutin, quercetin xyloside, quercetin rhamnoside, quercetin glucoside, quercetin galloyl xyloside, quercetin), and tannins (terminalin), respectively. The three doses of HETa reduced acute and chronic ulcers in different models. The mechanism of action involves increasing mucus production and angiogenesis, and it partially involves prostaglandins, nitric oxide, K+ATP channels, and α2-adrenergic receptors. HETa also exhibited antioxidant potential, reducing myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and increasing glutathione (GSH) levels. Moreover, it demonstrated anti-inflammatory action by reducing nitrite/nitrate levels and pro-inflammatory cytokine concentrations in vivo, and it increased in vitro proliferation/migration of fibroblasts. CONCLUSIONS The study shows that HETa presents a potent preventive and curative antiulcer effect in different ulcer models, supporting the popular use of homemade preparations of T. argentea leaves. The preventive and gastric healing ulcer activity of HETa involves multiple targets, including increasing the gastric mucus barrier, antioxidant defenses, and anti-inflammatory effects on gastric mucosa repair. Phytochemical analysis identified the presence of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and tannins in HETa, and the antiulcer activity may be attributable to the combined effect of these constituents.

Incidence of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth and Symptoms After 7 Days of Proton Pump Inhibitor Use: A Study on Healthy Volunteers. Dig Dis Sci 2024; 69:209-215. [PMID: 37910339 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-023-08162-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly prescribed drugs. Chronic PPI use has recently been associated with the risk for developing small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). It is not known whether the short-term prescription of a PPI can trigger SIBO. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of SIBO and gastrointestinal symptoms after 7 days of PPI use. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective, pilot, open-label study was conducted on asymptomatic healthy volunteers. The incidence of SIBO was evaluated at the baseline and after administration of 40 mg of pantoprazole once a day for 7 days, through a glucose breath test. In addition, the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms, the number of bowel movements, and the consistency of stools, according to the Bristol scale, were assessed. RESULTS Thirty-eight healthy subjects (71.1% women, mean age 25.18 ± 6.5 years) were analyzed. The incidence of SIBO after 7 days of PPI administration was 7.8% (95% CI 1.6-21.3%). The patients that developed SIBO had a greater prevalence of bloating (p = 0.0002) and flatulence (p = 0.004) after 7 days of treatment. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed that a short-term 7-day PPI course produced SIBO in 7.8% of healthy subjects. Although, inappropriate use of PPIs should be discouraged, but since more than 90% of subjects who received PPIs for one week did not develop SIBO, the advantages of PPI administration seem to outweigh the disadvantages.

Protective effect of Amauroderma rugosum ethanol extract and its primary bioactive compound, ergosterol, against acute gastric ulcers based on LXR-mediated gastric mucus secretions. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 123:155236. [PMID: 38016383 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.155236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Amauroderma rugosum (Blume & T. Nees) Torrend (Ganodermataceae) is an edible mushroom with a wide range of medicinal values. Our previous publication demonstrated the therapeutic effects of the water extract of A. rugosum (WEA) against gastric ulcers. However, the protective effects of the ethanol extract of A. rugosum (EEA) on gastric mucosa and its major active constituents have not yet been elucidated. PURPOSE This study aims to evaluate the gastroprotective effects and underlying mechanisms of EEA and its fat-soluble constituent, ergosterol, in acute gastric ulcers. STUDY DESIGN AND METHOD SD rats were pre-treated with EEA (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg) or ergosterol (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg), and acute gastric ulcer models were constructed using ethanol, gastric mucus secretion inhibitor (indomethacin) or pyloric-ligation. The gastric ulcer area, histological structure alterations (H&E staining), and mucus secretion (AB-PAS staining) were recorded. Additionally, Q-PCR, western blotting, immunohistochemistry, ELISA, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, MM-GBSA analysis, and surface plasmon resonance assay (SPR) were used to investigate the underlying mechanisms of the gastroprotective effect. RESULT Compared with WEA, which primarily exerts its anti-ulcer effects by inhibiting inflammation, EEA containing fat-soluble molecules showed more potent gastroprotective effect through the promotion of gastric mucus secretion, as the anti-ulcer activity was partly blocked by indomethacin. Meanwhile, EEA exhibited anti-inflammatory effects by suppressing the production of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and NO, thereby inhibiting the MAPK pathway. Significantly, ergosterol (20 mg/kg), the bioactive water-insoluble compound in EEA, exhibited a gastroprotective effect comparable to that of lansoprazole (30 mg/kg). The promotion of gastric mucus secretion contributed to the effects of ergosterol, as indomethacin can completely block it. The upregulations of COX1-PGE2 and C-fos, an activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcription factor, were observed after the ergosterol treatment. Ergosterol acted as an LXRβ agonist via van der Waals binding and stabilizing the LXRβ protein without compromising its flexibility, thereby inducing the upregulation of AP-1 and COX-1. CONCLUSION EEA and its primary bioactive compound, ergosterol, exert anti-ulcer effects by promoting gastric mucus secretion through the LXRβ/C-fos/COX-1/PGE2 pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), the only bacterium classified as a type I (definite) carcinogen, is strongly associated with the development of gastric inflammation and adenocarcinoma. It infects the stomach of approximately half of the global population, equivalent to nearly 4.4 billion people. However, due to physiological barriers in the stomach, microbial barriers and increased antibiotic resistance, the therapeutic efficiency of standard antibiotic therapy is limited and cannot meet the clinical needs in some areas. Combining stimulus-responsive biomaterials with certain stimuli is an emerging antibacterial strategy. Stimulus-responsive biomaterials can respond to chemical, biological or physical cues in the environment with corresponding changes in their own properties and functions, highlighting a more intelligent, targeting and efficient aspect for H. pylori therapy. AIM OF REVIEW This review describes the critical obstacles in the current treatment of H. pylori, summarizes the recent advances in stimulus-responsive biomaterials against H. pylori by elucidating their working mechanisms and antibacterial performances under different types of stimuli (pH, enzymes, light, magnetic and ultrasound irradiations), and attempts to analyze the future prospects of such smart biomaterial for H. pylori eradication. Key Scientific Concepts of Review: Any characteristic property or change in the biomilieu at the H. pylori infected site (endogenous stimuli) or specific iatrogenic conditions in vitro (exogenous stimuli) can act as cues to activate or potentiate the antibacterial activity of responsive biomaterials. The responsiveness of these materials to endogenous stimuli enhances antimicrobial targeting, and makes physiological barriers that would otherwise hinder conventional H. pylori therapies a key factor in facilitating antibacterial effects. The responsiveness to exogenous stimuli greatly prolongs the action time of antimicrobial materials and pinpoints the site of infection, thereby reducing toxic side effects. These findings pave the way for the development of more precise and effective anti-H. pylori treatment.

Abstract
Background: Vonoprazan has been reported to exert more potent and long-lasting gastric acid inhibition than proton pump inhibitors, potentially leading to a greater impact on the gut microbiota. This study aimed to clarify changes in microbial diversity and bacterial composition after VPZ treatments. Methods: We searched from PubMed, Embase, WOS, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov (all years up to May 2023). The primary outcomes were alpha and beta diversity, as well as differences in gut microbiota composition between before and after VPZ treatments. We performed a meta-analysis to uncover the potential changes in human gut microbiota among VPZ users by pooled mean difference (MD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The risk of bias was assessed using the ROBINS-I tool. Results: A total of 12 studies were included to compare differences before and after VPZ treatments. Compared with baseline, alpha diversity was significantly reduced after VPZ treatments and gradually returned to baseline with longer follow-up. At the phylum level, there was a decrease in the relative abundance of Firmicutes and Actinobacteria, while Bacteroidetes increased compared with baseline. At the genus level, we found a significant decrease in the relative abundance of Coprococcus and Bifidobacterium and a significant increase in the relative abundance of Bacteroides compared with those before treatment. In subgroup analyses according to country and participants, we found differences in microbial changes after VPZ treatments. Conclusion: Vonoprazan can affect the changes of gut microbiota, which may be potentially associated with its strong ability of acid inhibition. However, due to the large heterogeneity, further studies are required to validate these findings. Systematic Review Registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD42023412265.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly used medications for various gastrointestinal disorders and are reported to be associated with bone fractures. A literature review was performed, which showed PPI to be associated with a shorter time to first fracture in adults aged 25 or older. There was an overall increased risk of fractures with PPI use in adults; however, such risk was not significantly higher in women over 80 years of age and adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis. In healthy adult males aged 18-50 years, PPI use was not associated with significant changes in calcium and bone metabolism with PPI use. The lack of increased risk among elderly women aged more than 80 and rheumatoid arthritis patients raises the possible confounding or effect modification by factors that affect the fracture risk with PPI use. We concluded that although observational studies show an increased risk of fractures with PPI use, warranting their use with caution in some patients, experimental evidence explaining the risk is still lacking.

Complement Ther Med 2023; 79:102997. [PMID: 37865304 DOI: 10.1016/j.ctim.2023.102997] [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] [Received: 06/05/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acupuncture is often used as an adjunctive therapy for gastric ulcer (GU). However, there is still a lack of evidence on the appropriate and optimal interventions for acupuncture. This study aimed to optimize the acupuncture treatment of gastric ulcers based on expert consensus for guiding acupuncturists in clinical practice. METHODS To conduct this study, research evidence was gathered from databases in both Chinese and English. After discussion, preliminary clinical questions were developed. Following three rounds of multidisciplinary clinical expert consultation, the initial consensus questionnaire was formed after testing and modification by team members. A Delphi consensus was ultimately reached to answer the questionnaire and develop guidance for acupuncture treatment. A 9-point Likert-type scale was used to measure the agreement of expert consensus, where a score of 80% between 7 and 9 was defined as "agreement." RESULTS After two rounds of Delphi voting, a total of 35 items reached an agreement. These items can be roughly divided into 6 domains. According to expert consensus, the application of acupuncture for gastric ulcer should follow a semistandardized approach. Based on the syndrome differentiation, the main acupoints recommended are Zusanli (ST36), Zhongwan (CV12), Neiguan (PC6), and Sanyinjiao (SP6), while the adjunct acupoints include Taichong (LR3), Guanyuan (CV4), Xuehai (SP10), and Taixi (KI3). In the experience of experts, adverse events associated with acupuncture are typically mild and often manifest as subcutaneous hematomas. CONCLUSION There is a lack of definitive acupuncture guidelines that can effectively determine the optimal therapeutic approach for the treatment of gastric ulcer. This expert consensus provides recommendations for clinical research and practice of acupuncture, with a particular focus on the selection of acupoints. However, further exploration through rigorous studies is necessary due to the limited availability of clinical evidence.

Abstract
MR1 : ESGE recommends the following standards for Barrett esophagus (BE) surveillance:- a minimum of 1-minute inspection time per cm of BE length during a surveillance endoscopy- photodocumentation of landmarks, the BE segment including one picture per cm of BE length, and the esophagogastric junction in retroflexed position, and any visible lesions- use of the Prague and (for visible lesions) Paris classification- collection of biopsies from all visible abnormalities (if present), followed by random four-quadrant biopsies for every 2-cm BE length.Strong recommendation, weak quality of evidence. MR2: ESGE suggests varying surveillance intervals for different BE lengths. For BE with a maximum extent of ≥ 1 cm and < 3 cm, BE surveillance should be repeated every 5 years. For BE with a maximum extent of ≥ 3 cm and < 10 cm, the interval for endoscopic surveillance should be 3 years. Patients with BE with a maximum extent of ≥ 10 cm should be referred to a BE expert center for surveillance endoscopies. For patients with an irregular Z-line/columnar-lined esophagus of < 1 cm, no routine biopsies or endoscopic surveillance are advised.Weak recommendation, low quality of evidence. MR3: ESGE suggests that, if a patient has reached 75 years of age at the time of the last surveillance endoscopy and/or the patient's life expectancy is less than 5 years, the discontinuation of further surveillance endoscopies can be considered. Weak recommendation, very low quality of evidence. MR4: ESGE recommends offering endoscopic eradication therapy using ablation to patients with BE and low grade dysplasia (LGD) on at least two separate endoscopies, both confirmed by a second experienced pathologist.Strong recommendation, high level of evidence. MR5: ESGE recommends endoscopic ablation treatment for BE with confirmed high grade dysplasia (HGD) without visible lesions, to prevent progression to invasive cancer.Strong recommendation, high level of evidence. MR6: ESGE recommends offering complete eradication of all remaining Barrett epithelium by ablation after endoscopic resection of visible abnormalities containing any degree of dysplasia or esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC).Strong recommendation, moderate quality of evidence. MR7: ESGE recommends endoscopic resection as curative treatment for T1a Barrett's cancer with well/moderate differentiation and no signs of lymphovascular invasion.Strong recommendation, high level of evidence. MR8: ESGE suggests that low risk submucosal (T1b) EAC (i. e. submucosal invasion depth ≤ 500 µm AND no [lympho]vascular invasion AND no poor tumor differentiation) can be treated by endoscopic resection, provided that adequate follow-up with gastroscopy, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and computed tomography (CT)/positrion emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) is performed in expert centers.Weak recommendation, low quality of evidence. MR9: ESGE suggests that submucosal (T1b) esophageal adenocarcinoma with deep submucosal invasion (tumor invasion > 500 µm into the submucosa), and/or (lympho)vascular invasion, and/or a poor tumor differentiation should be considered high risk. Complete staging and consideration of additional treatments (chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy and/or surgery) or strict endoscopic follow-up should be undertaken on an individual basis in a multidisciplinary discussion.Strong recommendation, low quality of evidence. MR10 A: ESGE recommends that the first endoscopic follow-up after successful endoscopic eradication therapy (EET) of BE is performed in an expert center.Strong recommendation, very low quality of evidence. B: ESGE recommends careful inspection of the neo-squamocolumnar junction and neo-squamous epithelium with high definition white-light endoscopy and virtual chromoendoscopy during post-EET surveillance, to detect recurrent dysplasia.Strong recommendation, very low level of evidence. C: ESGE recommends against routine four-quadrant biopsies of neo-squamous epithelium after successful EET of BE.Strong recommendation, low level of evidence. D: ESGE suggests, after successful EET, obtaining four-quadrant random biopsies just distal to a normal-appearing neo-squamocolumnar junction to detect dysplasia in the absence of visible lesions.Weak recommendation, low level of evidence. E: ESGE recommends targeted biopsies are obtained where there is a suspicion of recurrent BE in the tubular esophagus, or where there are visible lesions suspicious for dysplasia.Strong recommendation, very low level of evidence. MR11: After successful EET, ESGE recommends the following surveillance intervals:- For patients with a baseline diagnosis of HGD or EAC:at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 10 years after last treatment, after which surveillance may be stopped.- For patients with a baseline diagnosis of LGD:at 1, 3, and 5 years after last treatment, after which surveillance may be stopped.Strong recommendation, low quality of evidence.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are one of the most commonly prescribed drugs worldwide and have changed the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, these drugs have been associated with several potentially serious adverse reactions if used chronically. Guidelines from the American College of Gastroenterology in 2021 and the American Gastroenterological Association's 2022 clinical practice updates reflect the latest recommendations. This article reviews the management and treatment of GERD and the adverse reactions to long-term PPI use.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been available for over three decades and are among the most commonly prescribed medications. They are effective in treating a variety of gastric acid-related disorders. They are freely available and based on current evidence, use of PPIs for inappropriate indications and duration appears to be common. Over the years, concerns have been raised on the safety of PPIs as they have been associated with several adverse effects. Hence, there is a need for PPI stewardship to promote the use of PPIs for appropriate indication and duration. With this objective, the Indian Society of Gastroenterology has formulated guidelines on the rational use of PPIs. The guidelines were developed using a modified Delphi process. This paper presents these guidelines in detail, including the statements, review of literature, level of evidence and recommendations. This would help the clinicians in optimizing the use of PPIs in their practice and promote PPI stewardship.

Abstract
Importance Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use may lead to infections through alteration of the microbiota or direct action on the immune system. However, only a few studies were conducted in children, with conflicting results. Objective To assess the associations between PPI use and serious infections in children, overall and by infection site and pathogen. Design, Setting, and Participants This nationwide cohort study was based on the Mother-Child EPI-MERES Register built from the French Health Data System (SNDS). We included all children born between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2018, who received a treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease or other gastric acid-related disorders, namely PPIs, histamine 2 receptor antagonists, or antacids/alginate. The index date was defined as the first date any of these medications was dispensed. Children were followed up until admission to the hospital for serious infection, loss of follow-up, death, or December 31, 2019. Exposure PPI exposure over time. Main Outcomes and Measures Associations between serious infections and PPI use were estimated by adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and 95% CIs using Cox models. PPI use was introduced as time-varying. A 30-day lag was applied to minimize reverse causality. Models were adjusted for sociodemographic data, pregnancy characteristics, child comorbidities, and health care utilization. Results The study population comprised 1 262 424 children (median [IQR] follow-up, 3.8 [1.8-6.2] years), including 606 645 who received PPI (323 852 male [53.4%]; median [IQR] age at index date, 88 [44-282] days) and 655 779 who did not receive PPI (342 454 male [52.2%]; median [IQR] age, 82 [44-172] days). PPI exposure was associated with an increased risk of serious infections overall (aHR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.32-1.36). Increased risks were also observed for infections in the digestive tract (aHR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.48-1.55); ear, nose, and throat sphere (aHR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.41-1.52); lower respiratory tract (aHR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.19-1.25); kidneys or urinary tract (aHR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.15-1.25); and nervous system (aHR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.11-1.54) and for both bacterial (aHR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.50-1.63) and viral infections (aHR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.28-1.33). Conclusions and Relevance In this study, PPI use was associated with increased risks of serious infections in young children. Proton pump inhibitors should not be used without a clear indication in this population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) is defined as the replacement of the normal gastric epithelium by intestinal-type epithelium. GIM is considered a preneoplastic lesion for gastric adenocarcinoma in adults and is found in 25% of Helicobacter pylori ( H pylori ) exposed adults. However, the significance of GIM in pediatric gastric biopsies is still unknown. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of children with GIM on gastric biopsies at Boston Children's Hospital between January 2013 and July 2019. Demographic, clinical, endoscopic, and histologic data were collected and compared to age and sex-matched cohort without GIM. Gastric biopsies were reviewed by the study pathologist. GIM was classified as complete/incomplete based on Paneth cell presence or absence and limited/extensive based on its distribution in the antrum or both antrum and corpus. RESULTS Of 38 patients with GIM, 18 were male (47%), mean age of detection was 12.5 ± 5.05 years (range, 1-18 years). The most common histologic was chronic gastritis (47%). Complete GIM was present in 50% (19/38) and limited GIM was present in 92% (22/24). H pylori was positive in 2 patients. Two patients had persistent GIM on repeat esophagogastroduodenoscopy (2/12). No dysplasia or carcinoma was identified. Proton-pump inhibitor use and chronic gastritis were more common in GIM patients compared to control ( P = 0.02). CONCLUSION Most children with GIM had low-risk histologic subtype (complete/limited) for gastric cancer; GIM was rarely associated with H pylori gastritis in our cohort. Larger multicenter studies are needed to better understand outcomes and risk factors in children with GIM.

Impact of Concomitant Use of Proton Pump Inhibitors and Clopidogrel on Recurrent Stroke and Myocardial Infarction. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:1213. [PMID: 37765021 PMCID: PMC10535402 DOI: 10.3390/ph16091213] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Conflicting results have been reported regarding the interaction between proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and clopidogrel. We investigated whether concomitant PPI use influenced the risk of recurrence in patients with stroke and myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS This study used two databases for two different designs, the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) database for a self-controlled case series design, and the national sample cohort of the NHIS data base converted to the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership-Common Data Model version for a cohort study based on large-scale propensity score matching. RESULTS In the PPI co-prescription group, recurrent hospitalization with stroke occurred in 17.6% of the 8201 patients with history of stroke, and recurrent MI occurred in 17.1% of the 1216 patients with history of MI within1 year. According to the self-controlled case series, the overall relative risk (RR) of recurrent stroke was 2.09 (95% confidence interval (CI); 1.83-2.38); the RR showed an increasing trend parallel to the time from the beginning of PPI co-prescription. In the cohort study, there was a higher incidence of recurrent stroke in the PPI co-prescription group (Hazard ratio (HR): 1.34, 95% CI: 1.01-1.76, p = 0.04). The overall RR of recurrent MI was 1.47 (95% CI; 1.02-2.11) in the self-controlled case series; however, there was no statistically significant difference in recurrent MI in the cohort study (HR:1.42, 95% CI:0.79-2.49, p = 0.23). The impact of individual PPIs on stroke and MI showed different patterns. CONCLUSIONS A PPI co-prescription >4 weeks with clopidogrel was associated with hospitalization of recurrent stroke within 1 year of initial diagnosis; however, its association with recurrent MI remains inconclusive. The influence of individual PPIs should be clarified in the future.

Abstract
Background: Long-term maintenance therapy with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) is a common treatment strategy for acid-related gastrointestinal diseases. However, concerns have been raised about the potential increased risk of gastric cancer and related precancerous lesions with long-term PPI use. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate this potential risk. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for randomised controlled trials published before 1 March 2023, with no language restrictions. The primary endpoint was the occurrence and progression of gastric mucosal atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, Enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cell hyperplasia, gastric polyps, and gastric cancer during the trial and follow-up. Data were analysed using a random effects model. Results: Of the 4,868 identified studies, 10 met the inclusion criteria and were included in our analysis, comprising 27,283 participants. Compared with other treatments, PPI maintenance therapy for more than 6 months was associated with an increased risk of ECL cell hyperplasia (OR 3.01; 95% CI 1.29 to 7.04; p = 0.01). However, no significant increase was found in the risk of gastric mucosal atrophy (OR 1.01; 95% CI 0.55 to 1.85; p = 0.97), intestinal metaplasia (OR 1.14; 95% CI 0.49 to 2.68; p = 0.76), gastric polyps (OR 1.13; 95% CI 0.68 to 1.89; p = 0.64), or gastric cancer (OR 1.06; 95% CI 0.79 to 1.43; p = 0.71). Conclusion: This systematic review and meta-analysis does not support an increased risk of gastric cancer or related precancerous lesions with long-term PPI maintenance therapy. However, long-term PPI use should be monitored for potential complications such as ECL cell hyperplasia. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and evaluate the safety of PPI maintenance therapy for acid-related gastrointestinal diseases.

Abstract
Background The standard neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancer involves fluoropyrimidines and radiotherapy and, most recently, total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT). A drug-drug interaction between fluoropyrimidines and proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) was suggested, with a negative impact on oncological outcomes in breast, colon and gastric cancers. Little is known about such an effect on rectal tumours. We aimed to evaluate the impact of PPI utilisation on the pathological response after chemoradiation for rectal cancer. Materials and methods Retrospective multicentre study of rectal cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy with capecitabine (cohort 1) or 5-fluororuracil (5-FU) (cohort 2); TNT with oxaliplatin-based regimens was allowed. The pathological response was considered a complete (ypCR) or complete + partial (ypCR + ypPR) according to American Joint Committee on Cancer. PPI use was considered at any time during the neoadjuvant period if concomitant to fluoropyrimidines. Results From January 2007 to November 2020, 251 patients received capecitabine and 196 5-FU. The rates of PPI use in cohorts 1 and 2 were 20.3% and 26.5%, respectively. TNT was offered to 18.3% in cohort 1. PPI use did not influence ypCR in cohort 1 (yes versus no: 29.4% versus 19.5%; p = 0.13) or 2 (yes versus no: 25.0% versus 26.4%; p = 1.0). Similar ypCR + ypPR were observed in both cohorts 1 (76.5% versus 72.0%; p = 0.60) and 2 (86.5% versus 76.4%; p = 0.16). PPI use was not associated with pathological response in multivariable analysis. PPI users experienced more grade 3 or higher diarrhoea and infections. Conclusion PPI concomitant to capecitabine/5-FU chemoradiation did not influence the pathological response in rectal cancer but was associated with more treatment-related adverse events.

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
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.

Savarino V, Marabotto E, Zentilin P, De Bortoli N, Visaggi P, Furnari M, Bodini G, Giannini E, Savarino E. How safe are heartburn medications and who should use them? Expert Opin Drug Saf 2023; 22:643-652. [PMID: 37477199 DOI: 10.1080/14740338.2023.2238592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Heartburn is a frequent symptom occurring in daily clinical practice and is mainly associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, it can be stimulated by various factors and diseases other than GERD can present with heartburn. Therefore, physicians must be very careful in distinguishing GERD from non-GERD conditions in their patients, particularly when heartburn is refractory to anti-reflux medications. AREAS COVERED The aim of this narrative review was to analyze the medical literature regarding the prevalence of heartburn and the various clinical disorders which can be present with this symptom. The type of medications usually adopted for treating heartburn and their grade of safety have been reviewed using an extensive computerized (Medline/PubMed) search with particular focus on the last 20 years. EXPERT OPINION Many drugs can be used for relieving heartburn in patients with GERD, although PPIs are the pharmacological agents with the greatest efficacy. However, it must be highlighted that many non-GERD conditions may present clinically with this symptom whose intensity does not differ between GERD and functional esophageal disorders, which represent about 50% of all patients with suspected GERD. It is very important to identify these functional conditions because their treatment differs completely from that of GERD.

Abstract
Mounting evidence has linked changes in human gut microbiota to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use. Accordingly, multiple studies have analyzed the gut microbiomes of PPI users, but PPI-microbe interactions are still understudied. Here, we performed a meta-analysis of four studies with available 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing data to uncover the potential changes in human gut microbes among PPI users. Despite some differences, we found common features of the PPI-specific microbiota, including a decrease in the Shannon diversity index and the depletion of bacteria from the Ruminococcaceae and Lachnospiraceae families, which are crucial short-chain fatty acid-producers. Through training based on multiple studies, using a random forest classification model, we further verified the representativeness of the six screened gut microbial genera and 20 functional genes as PPI-related biomarkers, with AUC values of 0.748 and 0.879, respectively. Functional analysis of the PPI-associated 16S rRNA microbiome revealed enriched carbohydrate- and energy-associated genes, mostly encoding fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and pyruvate dehydrogenase, among others. In this study, we have demonstrated alterations in bacterial abundance and functional metabolic potential related to PPI use, as a basis for future studies on PPI-induced adverse effects.

Abstract
The acidic microenvironment of tumors significantly reduces the anti-tumor effect of immunotherapy. Herein, a hierarchically structured fiber device is developed as a local drug delivery system for remodeling the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME) to improve the therapeutic effect of immunotherapy. Proton pump inhibitors in the fiber matrix can be sustainedly released to inhibit the efflux of intracellular H+ from tumor cells, resulting in the remodeling of the acidic TME. The targeted micelles and M1 macrophage membrane-coated nanoparticles in internal cavities of fiber can induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) of tumor cells and phenotypic transformation of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), respectively. The relief of the acidity in the TME further promotes ICD and the polarization of TAMs, alleviating the immunosuppressive microenvironment and synergistically enhancing the antitumor immune response. In vivo results reveal this local drug delivery system restores the pH value of TME from 6.8 to 7.2 and exhibit an excellent immunotherapeutic effect.

Abstract
The present study has been designed to evaluate the impact of the co-administration of pantoprazole (PNT) with vitamin B (VTB) complex (VTB comprising VTB1, VTB6, and VTB12 in this study) on pharmacokinetic behavior. In this study, HPLC-based sensitive and efficient methods for simultaneous determination in human plasma were developed per US-FDA bioanalytical standards. The pharmacokinetic parameters of PNT, VTB1, VTB6, and VTB12 were also evaluated when the medicines were administered alone and co-administered. Following linearity, it was observed that the plasma PNT, VTB1, VTB6, and VTB12 retention times were 6.8 ± 0.2, 2.7 ± 0.1, 5.5 ± 0.2, and 3.8 ± 0.1 min, respectively, over the range of 1−100 μg/mL. For all analytes at the lower limit of quantification and all other values, intra-assay and inter-assay bias were within 15% and 13.5%, respectively. They barely interacted when PNT and VTB samples were evaluated in physical combinations through in vitro tests. Moreover, in the pharmacokinetics study, treatment with VTB did not significantly alter the pharmacokinetic characteristics of PNT. Therefore, the current work’s results might help assess drug–drug interactions that may be applied to bioequivalence studies and therapeutic drug monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used drugs for gastric-acid-related diseases, which may have an impact on the gut microbiome. We aimed to evaluate the associations of PPI use with risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS We analysed the associations of PPI use with risks of coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure (HF), stroke, and all-cause mortality in 19,229 adults with T2D using data from the UK Biobank study. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 10.9-11.2 years, we documented a total of 2,971 CAD, 1,827 MI, 1,192 HF, and 738 stroke cases, along with 2,297 total deaths. PPI use was significantly associated with higher risks of CAD (HR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.15-1.40), MI (HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.18-1.52), HF (HR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.16-1.57) and all-cause mortality (HR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.16-1.45). No significant association was observed between PPI use and stroke (HR, 1.11; 95% CI, 0.90-1.36). The results were consistent in the subgroup analyses stratified by factors including indications of PPI, anti-diabetic medication use, and antiplatelet drug use. Analyses in a 1:1 propensity score-matched cohort of PPI users versus non-users yielded similar results. INTERPRETATION Our data suggested that PPI use was associated with higher risks of CVD events and mortality among patients with T2D. The benefits and risks of PPI use should be carefully balanced among patients with T2D, and monitoring of adverse CVD events during PPI therapy should be enhanced.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) on the infant microbiome remain unclear. Swedish pilot cohort study to assess the longitudinal effect of long-term PPI on the infant gut microbiome, including ten newborn infants operated for esophageal atresia exposed to PPIs (mean 57 weeks), compared to healthy one-year-old controls. All children were born vaginally and were otherwise healthy. Within- and between sample diversity of the fecal microbiome was assessed using untargeted whole genome Shotgun metagenomics which sequences all the DNA in the sample and can capture genes rather than a taxonomic fingerprint. RESULTS A longer duration of PPI-use was associated with considerable changes in evenness and high variation on diversity within samples compared to a shorter duration of use. The limited difference between baseline samples and controls suggests that this shift was most likely due to the drug exposure and not the underlying alterations on the microbiome. We found no associations with the number of antibiotic treatment episodes among the PPI-users. CONCLUSION Prolonged PPI-use may alter the early infant gut microbiome composition, especially those with the most prolonged duration of use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) lansoprazole acts as a liver X receptor agonist, which plays a crucial role in the crosstalk of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in vitro and during bone turnover in vivo. However, epidemiological studies on the association between the use of lansoprazole and osteoporosis risk are limited. We aimed to determine the risk of developing osteoporosis in patients with lansoprazole use. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan dated from 2000 to 2013. The study includes 655 patients with lansoprazole use (the exposed cohort) and 2620 patients with other PPI use (the comparison cohort). The main outcome was the primary diagnosis of osteoporosis. The hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the association between the use of lansoprazole and risk of osteoporosis. RESULTS Patients receiving lansoprazole treatment had a reduced risk of osteoporosis as compared with those undergoing other PPI therapy (adjusted HR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.46-0.68). Moreover, this inverse association is evident in both sexes and in various age groups. CONCLUSIONS This population-based cohort study demonstrated that lansoprazole use was associated with a reduced risk of osteoporosis. The clinical implications of the present study need further investigations.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are one of the most prescribed drugs around the world. PPIs induce microbiota modulation such as obesity both in humans and in animal models. However, since PPIs can induce microbiota modulation despite the absence of a high-fat diet or weight gain, it is an interesting model to correlate microbiota modulation with the establishment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We investigated the effect of pantoprazole treatment on TLR4 signaling and liver histology in C57BL/6J mice for 60 days, trying to correlate microbiota modulation with some aspects of liver injury. We performed glucose (GTT) and insulin (ITT) tolerance tests, serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) dosage, liver histology, liver and intestine extraction for Western blot and qPCR. Fecal microbiota were investigated via metagenomics. Chronic treatment with pantoprazole induced microbiota modulation and impaired ileum barrier integrity, without an association with insulin resistance. Furthermore, increased circulating LPS and increased Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and TGFβ downstream signaling may have an important role in the development of the observed liver microvesicular steatosis and fibrosis. Finally, this model of PPI-induced changes in microbiota might be useful to investigate liver microvesicular steatosis and fibrosis.

Abstract
Introduction: Although Helicobacter pylori’s role in gastric oncogenesis is well-known, only a fraction of infected patients develop cancer. Hence, more factors are supposed to be involved. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the impact of clinicopathological parameters on Helicobacter pylori status. Methods: The study included 1522 patients referred for endoscopy: study group consisted of 557 patients with Helicobacter pylori-positive biopsies confirmed using histochemical stains or immunohistochemistry methods; and the control group consisted of 965 patients with Helicobacter pylori-negative status on histology. Results: Severe endoscopic lesions were more frequent in the Helicobacter pylori group (p < 0.001), with no difference noticed in the distribution of premalignant gastric lesions (p = 0.82). Anemia and dyslipidemia were independent factors associated with Helicobacter pylori-positive biopsies (p < 0.05). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory therapy was more frequently administered in the study group, while proton-pump inhibitors had an anti-Helicobacter pylori activity on histology (p < 0.0001). Conclusion: In the studied population, patients with Helicobacter pylori-positive biopsies had a more frequent history of gastrotoxic medication, severe endoscopic lesions, and anemia. Helicobacter pylori was unpredictable by gastrointestinal symptoms. The frequency of premalignant gastric lesions was similar irrespective of the actual status of infection, underlining the importance of unintentional clearance of bacteria in old infection and the remaining risk for cancer in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are frequently prescribed drugs. However, it has been suggested that they are associated with an increased risk of ischemic vascular events (IVE) including stroke, although the data are inconsistent. AIMS We investigated the association between PPIs use and IVE in five observational Korean databases using a common data model (CDM). METHODS This study included patient-based retrospective, observational cohort data of subjects aged over 18 years between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2020, from five medical centers as part of the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) CDM. Subjects who were included in both cohorts or had a previous history of ischemic stroke were excluded. After propensity matching, 8007 propensity-matched pairs between the PPIs and H2 receptor antagonist (H2RA) users were included in this study. RESULTS In the 1:1 propensity score matching with 8007 in each group, long-term PPIs use (⩾365 days) was not associated with ischemic stroke (odds ratio (OR) = 1.05, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.71-1.56; I2 = 57%), ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (OR = 1.02, 95% CI 0.71-1.48; I2 = 53%), and net adverse clinical events (OR = 1.08, 95% CI 0.83-1.40; I2 = 47%) compared with H2RAs users. CONCLUSIONS Our analysis in a large dataset found no evidence that long-term use of PPIs was associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke.

Traditional Chinese medicine based on Tongjiang methodology combined with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) step-down in treating non-erosive reflux disease: a study protocol for a multicentered, randomized controlled clinical trial. Trials 2022; 23:879. [PMID: 36258217 PMCID: PMC9580143 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-022-06811-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Accepted: 10/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) is characterized by typical gastroesophageal reflux symptoms, such as heartburn and regurgitation but an absence of esophageal mucosal damage during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Although proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the first line therapy, almost 50% of patients with NERD fail to respond to this treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can better relieve the symptoms of NERD. Therefore, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) was designed to investigate the efficiency of TCM granules based on Tongjiang (TJ) methodology combined with PPI step-down therapy for NERD patients who did not respond to PPIs alone. METHOD This multicentered, double-blinded, RCT with two parallel groups will recruit 174 participants who will be randomized into the TCM granules combined with PPI step-down group (n = 87) and the TCM granules placebo combined with PPI step-down group (n = 87). Both groups of participants will receive 6 weeks of treatment and 4 weeks of follow-up, and all participants will be assessed for related symptoms, mental health status, and quality of life at each visit. The primary outcome measurements include visual analog scale (VAS) for heartburn and regurgitation and the major symptoms scale. The secondary outcome measurements include PPI withdrawal rate, symptom recurrence rate, minor symptoms scale, SF-36, PRO, SAS, SDS, GERD-HRQL, and TCM syndromes scales. DISCUSSION Previous research has shown that TCM is capable to alleviate NERD symptoms. This trial will help to provide a better understanding of the synergistic efficiency of the combination of TCM and PPIs, to explore whether the dosage of PPIs can be reduced after the supplement of TCM granules and to provide a feasible plan to reduce dependencies or withdraw NERD patients from PPIs. The outcome of this trial is expected to reduce the symptom recurrence rates, lessen patients' physical and psychological burdens, and achieve good social benefits. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrials.gov NCT04340297. Registered on April 9, 2020.

J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11195612. [PMID: 36233478 PMCID: PMC9570958 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11195612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2022] [Revised: 09/11/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Histamine-2-receptor antagonist (H2RA) has shown beneficial effects on the kidney, heart, and sepsis in animal models and on the heart and COVID-19 infection in clinical studies. However, H2RAshave been used as a reference in most epidemiological studies examining the association of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) with outcomes. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effect of H2RA on renal and survival outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. We used a Taiwanese nationalhealth insurance database from 2001 to 2016 to screen 45,767 CKD patients for eligibility. We identified new users of PPI (n = 7121), H2RA (n = 48,609), and users of neither PPI nor H2RA (as controls) (n = 47,072) during follow-up, and finally created 1:1:1 propensityscore-matchedcohorts; each cohort contained 4361 patients. Participants were followed up after receivingacid-suppression agents or on the corresponding date until the occurrence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the presence of competing mortality, death, or through the end of 2016. Compared toneither users, H2RAand PPI users demonstrated adjusted hazard ratios of 0.40 (95% confidence interval, 0.30–0.53) for ESRDand 0.64 (0.57–0.72) for death and 1.15 (0.91–1.45) for ESRD and 1.83 (1.65–2.03) for death, respectively. A dose-response relationship betweenH2RA use with ESRD and overall, cardiovascular, and non-cardiovascular mortality was detected. H2RA consistently provided renal and survival benefits on multivariable stratified analyses and multiple sensitivity analyses. In conclusion, dose-dependent H2RA use was associated with a reduced risk of ESRD and overall mortality in CKD patients, whereas PPI use was associated with an increased risk of overall mortality, not in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
Background Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is still a challenging and difficult to treat condition in children. Although acid suppression represents the mainstay of treatment in adolescents, it is not devoid of adverse events, especially in the long-term. Objectives In this investigation we explored a new therapeutic avenue in GERD, that is esophageal mucosal protection. Design To this end, we performed an investigator-initiated, retrospective study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a short-term treatment with Esoxx™ medical device in 25 adolescents with GERD-related symptoms. This mucoadhesive formulation contains two natural mucopolysaccharides (sodium hyaluronate and chondroitin sulphate) and adheres to the esophageal mucosa, exerting a protective effect against refluxed gastric contents and allowing mucosal healing. Methods Heartburn, epigastric burning and post-prandial regurgitation were scored with a pain VAS scale and re-evaluated after 3-week treatment with Esoxx (one stick post-prandially, three times daily). Results All patients completed the treatment without adverse effects and with good tolerability and compliance. All the three major symptoms significantly (p<0.001) improved after treatment. No patient required additional investigation (i.e. upper Gastrointestinal endoscopy) or medication (i.e. antisecretory drugs). Conclusion The results of this pilot study suggest that esophageal mucosal protection is a promising therapeutic avenue for GERD also in children. Provided, these data be confirmed by a large, randomized clinical trial, this medical device can enter our therapeutic armamentarium against this challenging disease.

Abstract
Helicobacter pyloriInfection is formally recognised as an infectious disease, an entity that is now included in the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision. This in principle leads to the recommendation that all infected patients should receive treatment. In the context of the wide clinical spectrum associated with Helicobacter pylori gastritis, specific issues persist and require regular updates for optimised management.The identification of distinct clinical scenarios, proper testing and adoption of effective strategies for prevention of gastric cancer and other complications are addressed. H. pylori treatment is challenged by the continuously rising antibiotic resistance and demands for susceptibility testing with consideration of novel molecular technologies and careful selection of first line and rescue therapies. The role of H. pylori and antibiotic therapies and their impact on the gut microbiota are also considered.Progress made in the management of H. pylori infection is covered in the present sixth edition of the Maastricht/Florence 2021 Consensus Report, key aspects related to the clinical role of H. pylori infection were re-evaluated and updated. Forty-one experts from 29 countries representing a global community, examined the new data related to H. pylori infection in five working groups: (1) indications/associations, (2) diagnosis, (3) treatment, (4) prevention/gastric cancer and (5) H. pylori and the gut microbiota. The results of the individual working groups were presented for a final consensus voting that included all participants. Recommendations are provided on the basis of the best available evidence and relevance to the management of H. pylori infection in various clinical fields.

Long-term proton pump inhibitor use and risk of osteoporosis and hip fractures: A nationwide population-based and multicenter cohort study using a common data model. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2022; 37:1534-1543. [PMID: 35501296 DOI: 10.1111/jgh.15879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2022] [Revised: 04/14/2022] [Accepted: 04/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/09/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Association between protonpump inhibitors (PPIs) and osteoporosis, hip fractures has not been fully elucidated. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between PPIs use and the risk of osteoporosis and hip fractures in the databases converted to a common data model (CDM) and to compare the results across the databases. METHODS This was a population-based, propensity-matched, retrospective cohort study that included patients aged ≥ 50 years who were prescribed with PPIs for over 180 days. We compared the incidence of osteoporosis and hip fractures between new PPI user and new user of other drugs using the Cox proportional hazards model and performed meta-analysis in the electronic health record (EHR) databases. RESULTS In the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS)-CDM database, long-term PPI users had greater risk of osteoporosis [PPIs vs non-PPIs groups, 28.42/1000 person-years vs 19.29/1000 person-years; hazard ratio (HR), 1.62; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.22-2.15; P = 0.001]. The meta-analytic results of six EHR databases also showed similar result (pooled HR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.28-1.92). In the analysis of hip fracture, PPI use was not significantly associated with a hip fracture in the NHIS-CDM database (PPI vs non-PPI groups, 3.09/1000 person-years vs 2.26/1000 person-years; HR, 1.45; 95% CI, 0.74-2.80; P = 0.27). However, in the meta-analysis of four EHR databases, the risk of hip fractures was higher in PPI users (pooled HR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.04-3.19). CONCLUSIONS Long-term PPI was significantly associated with osteoporosis; however, the results of hip fractures were inconsistent. Further study based on better data quality may be needed.
