Treatment outcomes in patients with globus: A randomized control trial of psychoeducation, neuromodulators, and proton pump inhibitors. Neurogastroenterol Motil 2023; 35:e14500. [PMID: 36443929 DOI: 10.1111/nmo.14500] [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: 07/22/2022] [Revised: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Globus is a persistent or intermittent nonpainful sensation of a lump or foreign body, which markedly affect patient's quality of life. Treatment options for globus are limited and unsatisfying. This study aims to compare the effects of cognitive-behavioral-theory-based psychoeducation (CBT), neuromodulators (NMD), and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) on treatment outcomes in patients with globus. METHODS Eligible patients were randomly received CBT, 0.5 mg flupenthixol and 10 mg melitracen; NMD, or omeprazole 20 mg; PPI, for 4 weeks. The primary endpoint was the reduction in symptom scores; Glasgow Edinburgh Throat Scale (GETS). The secondary endpoints included treatment efficacy on Reflux Symptom Index (RSI), Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS), and quality of life (QoL) based on a 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36). Treatment compliance and adverse effects were recorded. KEY RESULTS Forty patients were completed study. Baseline characteristics between the groups were comparable. By the end of treatment, both CBT and NMD provided greater reduction in GETS than PPI (CBT vs PPI; 6.46 ± 8.56 vs 0.21 ± 5.42; p = 0.031, NMD vs PPI; 6.92 ± 9.85 vs 0.21 ± 5.42; p = 0.036). The improvement of RSI, HADS, and SF-36 among the groups was similar. Neuromodulators caused more adverse events. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Both CBT and NMD provided equally effective treatment and better than PPI in patients with globus determined by the reduction in GETS. The improvement in RSI, HADS, and QoL of the three groups was not different. Given less of adverse effect than NMD, CBT should be considered as a substantial treatment.

Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:757969. [PMID: 35281934 PMCID: PMC8906885 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.757969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: Eluxadoline is a newly approved drug for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but it has rarely been compared with positive controls. We aimed to compare eluxadoline with antispasmodics in the treatment of IBS. Methods: We searched the OVID Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing eluxadoline or antispasmodics with placebo. The search was conducted from 1 January 1980, to 1 September 2020, without any language restrictions. The primary efficacy outcome was the relief of abdominal pain, defined by a reduction of pain scores of at least 30% from baseline. The secondary efficacy outcome was the relief of global IBS symptoms, defined by a composite response of a decrease in abdominal pain and improvement in stool consistency on the same day for at least 50% of the days assessed. The data were pooled using a random-effects model. Outcome estimates were pooled by using Risk Ratios (RRs) and P-scores. Results: Forty-two trials with 8,457 participants were included from 45 articles. Compared with placebo, each of drotaverine, pinaverium, alverine combined with simethicone (ACS) and eluxadoline 100 mg was highly effective in the relief of abdominal pain, with drotaverine [RR, 2.71 (95% CI, 1.70 to 4.32), P-score = 0.95] ranking first. Drotaverine, otilonium, cimetropium, pinaverium, and eluxadoline 100 mg had significantly high the relief of global IBS symptomss, for which drotaverine [RR, 2.45 (95% CI, 1.42 to 4.22), P-score = 0.95] was ranked first. No significant difference was found between these interventions. Pinaverium had a significantly higher the relief of global IBS symptoms than eluxadoline [RR, 1.72 (95% CI, 1.33 to 2.21)] on sensitivity analysis. However, no significant difference was found in the number of adverse events between each intervention and the placebo. Conclusion: Our network meta-analysis showed that eluxadoline 100 mg was at least as effective as antispasmodics in relieving abdominal pain in IBS. But eluxadoline had more reported adverse events. Antispasmodics are still the first choice for the treatment of IBS.

Abstract
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common chronic functional bowel disease, associated with a high risk of depression and anxiety. The brain-gut axis plays an important role in the pathophysiological changes involved in IBS; however, an effective treatment for the same is lacking. The natural compound costunolide (COS) has been shown to exert gastroprotective, enteroprotective, and neuroprotective effects, but its therapeutic effects in IBS are unclear. Our study explored the effect of COS on intestinal dysfunction and depressive behaviour in stress-induced IBS mice. Mice were subjected to chronic unpredictable mild stress to trigger IBS, and some were administered COS. Behavioural tests, histochemical assays, western blotting, and measurement of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) levels in the colon and hippocampus were applied to monitor the physiological and molecular consequences of COS treatment in IBS mice. COS administration relieved intestinal dysfunction and depression-like behaviours in IBS mice. Improvements in low-grade colon inflammation and intestinal mucosal permeability, inhibition of the activation of mast cells, upregulation of colonic Occludin expression, and downregulation of Claudin 2 expression were also observed. COS was also found to upregulate GluN2A, BDNF, p-ERK1/2, and p-CREB expression and 5-HT levels in hippocampal cells but inhibited 5-HT metabolism. Molecular docking showed that COS could form hydrogen bonds with the serotonin transporter (SERT) to affect the reuptake of 5-HT in the intercellular space. In conclusion, COS alleviates intestinal dysfunction and depressive behaviour in stress-induced IBS mice by inhibiting mast cell activation in the colon and regulating 5-HT metabolism in the central nervous system.

Abstract
Background/Aims: Currently, the role of the microbiome GBA is being widely studied in the pathogenesis of visceral hypersensitivity in IBS. To investigate the role of fungus, the current study aimed to i) investigate the expression of Syk/CARD9-coupled Dectin-1 receptors in the ileocecal mucosa in D-IBS patients and (ii) explore the relationships between Dectin-1 and plasma MCT levels as well as anorectal sensory function in patients with D-IBS.Methods: Thirty-eight D-IBS patients who met the Rome III criteria and 2 groups of age- and sex-matched asymptomatic healthy controls were recruited from March 2015 to January 2017. Anorectal sensory function was quantified by HR-ARM. Plasma MCT titers were identified by ELISA, while the expression of Syk/CARD9 Dectin-1 receptors in ileocecal mucosa was identified by RT-qPCR.Results: (i) The expression of Syk/CARD9-coupled Dectin-1 receptors was significantly higher in D-IBS patients than in controls (p < .001). ii) The threshold values of first sensation and desire to defecate were significantly lower in D-IBS patientsthan in controls (the P value was0.007 and 0.001 respectively). (iii) There were negative correlations between plasma MCT levels and first sensation thresholds in D-IBS patients (r = -0.513, p = .012) and the desire to defecate thresholds (r = -0.423, p = .044). (iiii) There was a positive correlation between plasma MCT titers and the expression of Dectin-1 receptors in D-IBS patients (r = 0.565, p = .005).Conclusions: These results suggested that fungi may partially participate in the genesis of visceral hypersensitivity by activating mast cells, which is mediated by activation of the Dectin-1 receptor-mediated Syk/CARD9 signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a prevalent and debilitating condition for patients who experience this disorder. Clinical researches indicate that vitamin D (VD) can help relief the symptoms of IBS. However, no systematic review has addressed this issue yet. Thus, this systematic review aims to investigate the effectiveness and safety of VD for patients with IBS. METHODS We will retrieve the following databases for randomized controlled trials to assess the effectiveness and safety of VD for patients with IBS: Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDICINE, Web of Science, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. Each database will be retrieved from its inception to January 31, 2019. Two researchers will independently selection studies, extract data and assess methodological quality. RevMan 5.3 software will be used to pool the data, and carry out the meta-analysis if it is possible. RESULTS This systematic review will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of VD for patients with IBS. The primary outcomes include stool frequency and abdominal pain. The secondary outcomes consist of stool status, quality of life, and adverse effects. CONCLUSIONS The findings of this systematic review may provide the existing evidence on the effectiveness and safety of VD for patients with IBS. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This systematic review will not require ethical approval, because all data will be extracted from the published literature. The findings of this study will be disseminated at peer-reviewed journals.PROSPERO registration number: PROSPERO CRD42019122641.
