Abstract
Gastric cancer is a major cause of cancer-related death worldwide, despite the reduction in its incidence. The disease is still burdened with a poor prognosis, particularly in Western countries. The main risk factor is the infection by Helicobacter pylori, classified as a class I carcinogen by the IARC, and It is well-known that primary prevention of gastric cancer can be achieved with the eradication of the infection. Moreover, non-invasive measurement of pepsinogens (PGI and PGI/PGII ratio) allows the identification of patients that should undergo upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. Gastric non-cardia adenocarcinoma is indeed preceded by a well-defined precancerous process that involves consecutive stages, described for the first time by Correa et al. more than 40 years ago, and patients with advance stages of gastric atrophy/intestinal metaplasia and with dysplastic changes should be followed-up periodically with upper GI endoscopies. Despite these effective screening and surveillance methods, national-level screening campaigns have been adopted only in few countries in eastern Asia (Japan and South Korea). In this review, we describe primary and secondary preventive measures for gastric cancer, discussing the need to introduce screening also in Western countries. Moreover, we propose a simple algorithm for screening that could be easily applied in clinical practice.

Huang S, Li B, Pang XY, Gao WW. Efficacy and safety of Vonoprazan-based treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection: a systematic review and network meta-analysis. BMC Infect Dis 2024; 24:953. [PMID: 39261752 PMCID: PMC11389285 DOI: 10.1186/s12879-024-09885-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 09/05/2024] [Indexed: 09/13/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the nine most widely studied Vonoprazan (VPZ)-based treatment regimens along with traditional Proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based treatment regimens in eradicating Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. DESIGN Through searching PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, we exclusively included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to investigate the efficacy of VPZ-based and PPI-based therapies for H. pylori infection. The included studies were evaluated for methodological quality using the Cochrane bias risk assessment tool, and the data analysis software was used to analyze the data accordingly. RESULTS The RCTs were collected from the earliest available date up to August 2023. Twenty-one RCTs were included, with a total sample size of 5481. The results of the network meta-analysis showed that the eradication rate of the VPZ-based quadruple 14-day (VPZ-Q14) treatment regimen in Intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis was the highest (SUCRA: 0.874); The eradication rate of the VPZ-based quadruple 10-day (VPZ-Q10) treatment plan in Per-protocol (PP) analysis was the highest (SUCRA: 0.849). All regimens were well tolerated without significant differences. According to the probability ranking of safety, high-dose VPZ-based dual 14-day therapy (H-VPZ-D14) ranked first in SUCRA, reaching 0.952. This indicates that H-VPZ-D14 treatment is the safest with a relatively low incidence of adverse effect. Therefore, VPZ-based therapies not only have a higher eradication rate, but also possess satisfactory safety. CONCLUSION Compared with traditional PPI-based therapies, VPZ-based therapies have shown superior eradication effects. Based on the Ranking Plot of the Network, the VPZ-Q14 or VPZ-Q10 treatment regimen for H. pylori has a higher eradication rate and acceptable differences compared to other treatment regimens. In addition, for regions with high antibiotic resistance rates, we recommend a 14-day quadruple therapy with bismuth based on VPZ.

Factors Associated With Decision to Treat or Not to Treat Helicobacter pylori Infection in Children: Data From the EuroPedHp Registry. Helicobacter 2024; 29:e13134. [PMID: 39252494 DOI: 10.1111/hel.13134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 07/29/2024] [Accepted: 08/16/2024] [Indexed: 09/11/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND European and North-American guidelines on management of H. pylori infection in children provide the option not to treat even if the infection is endoscopically confirmed. We used data from the EuroPedHp Registry to identify factors associated with therapy decisions. METHODS We included treatment-naïve patients reported between 2017 and 2020 from 30 centers in 17 European countries. Multivariable logistic regression identified factors including comorbidities within and outside the gastrointestinal (GI) tract influencing the decision for or against therapy. RESULTS Of 1165 patients (52% females, median age 12.8), 28% (321/1165) reported any alarm symptom, 26% (307/1165) comorbidities, and 16% (192/1165) did not receive eradication treatment. Therapy was initiated less often in children having any GI comorbidity (57%, n = 181), particularly in those with eosinophilic esophagitis (60%, n = 35), inflammatory bowel disease (54%, n = 28), and celiac disease (43%, n = 58), compared to those with non-GI (86%, n = 126) or no comorbidity (89%, n = 858), despite similar frequencies of alarm and non-alarm symptoms, ulcers, erosions, and nodular gastritis. Patients with GI and without comorbidities remained more likely untreated in high versus low H. pylori prevalence countries (p < 0.0001). In children without comorbidities, factors favoring therapy included older age, being overweight, having symptoms, erosions, antral nodularity, and available antibiotic susceptibility results. CONCLUSION In this cohort, H. pylori-infected children with GI comorbidities compared to no comorbidity showed 75% reduced chance of receiving eradication therapy. We found no evidence supporting different management strategies in infected patients with GI comorbidities compared to all pediatric patients with endoscopically proven H. pylori infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evolving epidemiological data and increasing antibiotic resistance mandate an update of the European and North American Societies of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition guidelines. METHODS Certainty of evidence and strength of recommendations were rated by experts according to the Grading of Recommendation Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach. PICO (patient population, intervention, comparator, and outcome) questions were developed and voted on by the group. Recommendations were formulated using the Evidence to Decision framework. RESULTS The current literature supports many of the previous recommendations and several new recommendations. Invasive testing with strain antimicrobial susceptibility analysis is recommended for the diagnosis and selection of eradication therapy for H. pylori infection. Molecular methods are acceptable for detection of infection and of antibiotic resistance in gastric biopsy specimens. Reliable, noninvasive tests can be used as a screening method for children with history of gastric cancer in a first-degree relative. When investigating causes of chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura, testing for H. pylori is no longer recommended. When investigating other diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, or eosinophilic esophagitis, specific diagnostic biopsies for H. pylori infection are not indicated. However, if H. pylori is an incidental finding, treatment may be considered after discussing the risks and benefits. Treatment should be based on antibiotic antimicrobial susceptibility testing and, if unavailable, regimens containing clarithromycin should be avoided. CONCLUSIONS Due to decreasing prevalence of infection, increasing challenges with antibiotic resistance, and emerging evidence regarding complications of infection, clinicians must be aware of these recommended changes to appropriately manage H. pylori infection and its clinical sequelae in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little information is available regarding global H. pylori recurrence, recrudescence, and re-infection in pediatric patients after successful eradication, nor are their influencing factors clear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine global H. pylori recurrence status and its influencing factors in children and adolescents to improve infection management and disease prevention. METHODS Published studies on H. pylori recurrence in children and adolescents were collected from major public databases until January 2023. H. pylori recurrences were determined using randomized-effect and fixed-effect models. Stratified analysis was performed based on various regions, countries, publication time, human development indexes (HDIs), and ages. RESULTS A total of 3310 relevant articles were screened, and 30 articles (1915 participants) were finally enrolled for analysis. The overall H. pylori recurrence rate was 19%, and the annual recurrence rate was 13%. In stratified analysis, H. pylori annual recurrence rate in Asian children was higher than that in Europe (17% vs. 6%) and higher in developing countries than in developed countries (18% vs. 5%). In children aged ≤ 5 years, ≤ 10 years, and 11-18 years, the H. pylori recurrence rates were 30%, 14%, and 8%, respectively. H. pylori recrudescence and re-infection rates were 6% and 10%, respectively, and its recurrence was inversely correlated with HDI. CONCLUSIONS These results provide insights into global H. pylori recurrence, annual recurrence, recrudescence, and re-infection status in pediatric population. The stratified analysis revealed the pattern and seriousness of infection, which requires further efforts to improve patient care.

Abstract
Background/purpose Helicobacter pylori has been found to be related to periodontitis, and the oral cavity has been considered a reservoir for H. pylori gastritis infection. Thus, this study evaluated the effect of mouthwash containing poly l-Lysine and glycerol monolaurate on inhibiting H. pylori growth, biofilm formation, cell cytotoxicity, adhesion ability, cagA mRNA expression, and pro-inflammatory cytokines stimulated by H. pylori. Materials and methods Nineteen H. pylori strains were isolated from the oral cavity. The effectiveness of mouthwash containing poly l-Lysine and glycerol monolaurate was examined for its ability to inhibit H. pylori growth and biofilm formation and was tested for cell viability in oral epithelial cells (H357), gastric adenocarcinoma cells (AGS), and periodontal ligament cells (PDL). Additionally, the mouthwash was tested for reducing cagA mRNA expression, adhesion ability to H357 and AGS cells, and pro-inflammatory cytokines stimulated with H. pylori in AGS and PDL cells. Results The mouthwash containing poly l-Lysine and glycerol monolaurate could eradicate the biofilm by 14.9-19.9% after incubation at 5 min, and cell viability revealed 77.2, 79.8, and 100.0% for AGS, H357, and PDL cells, respectively. Moreover, the mouthwash containing poly l-Lysine and glycerol monolaurate could down-regulate cagA mRNA expression, reduce adhesion of H. pylori by approximately 9.5-47.8% for H357 cells and 24.5-62.9% for AGS cells, and decrease pro-inflammatory cytokines, especially interleukin-8, stimulated with H. pylori. Conclusion Mouthwash containing poly l-Lysine and glycerol monolaurate could inhibit H. pylori growth and reduce their virulence expression. The mouthwash also revealed low cytotoxicity to oral and gastric cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Refractory Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection inevitably increase the difficulty of drug selection. Here, we described our experience with the use of a novel tetravalent IgY against H. pylori for the treatment of patients with refractory H. pylori infection. METHODS Patients were randomly assigned to receive the standard quadruple therapy (amoxicillin, clarithromycin, omeprazole and bismuth potassium citrate ) for 2 weeks or 250 mg of avian polyclonal IgY orally twice a day for 4 weeks. The binding efficacy of IgY to H. pylori antigens was detected by western blotting13. C-urea breath test was performed to evaluate the eradication therap's efficacy. The side effects of IgY were evaluated via various routine tests. The questionnaire was used to gather clinical symptoms and adverse reactions. RESULTS Western blot analysis showed that tetravalent IgY simultaneously bind to VacA, HpaA, CagA and UreB of H. pylori. Tetravalent IgY had an eradication rate of 50.74% in patients with refractory H. pylori and an inhibition rate of 50.04% against DOB (delta over baseline) of 13C-urea. The symptom relief rate was 61.76% in thirty-four patients with clinical symptoms, and no adverse reactions were observed during tetravalent IgY treatment period. CONCLUSIONS Polyclonal avian tetravalent IgY reduced H. pylori infection, and showed good efficacy and safety in the treatment of refractory H. pylori infection patients, which represented an effective therapeutic option of choice for patients with refractory H. pylori infection.

Abstract
Background: H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori) infections typically occur in early childhood. Although the prevalence of H. pylori in children is lower than that in adults, the eradication rate of this infection in children is relatively low because of resistance. In this study, we analyzed personalized treatment strategies to achieve treatment goals based on H. pylori resistance characteristics. This retrospective single-center study was conducted between January 2019 and December 2022 and enrolled 1,587 children who presented with upper gastrointestinal symptoms and underwent endoscopy. H. pylori culturing and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were performed. Results: Culture-positive results for H. pylori were obtained in 535 children. The resistance rates to clarithromycin (CLA), metronidazole (MET), and levofloxacin (LEV) were 39.8%, 78.1%, and 20.2%, respectively. None of the isolates were resistant to tetracycline (TET), amoxicillin (AMO), or furazolidone (FZD). Double resistance rates to CLA + MET, CLA + LEV, and MET + LEV were 19.1%, 3.0%, and 5.8%, respectively. Notably, triple-resistant to CLA + MET + LEV was 9.7%. Based on susceptibility tests, individualized triple therapy [proton pump inhibitor (PPI) +AMO + CLA/MET] was selected for 380 children with H. pylori sensitive to MET and/or CLA. In 155 children resistant to CLA and MET, bismuth-based quadruple therapy was recommended; for unable to receive bismuth, concomitant therapy was recommended for 14 children (<8 years of age); triple therapy with TET was recommended for 141 children (>8 years of age), with 43 children (>14 years of age) requiring FZD rather than TET. Conclusion: Resistance to H. pylori in Chinese children was relatively poor. Personalized therapy regimens should be based on susceptibility tests and avoided factors associated with treatment failure.

Shadvar N, Akrami S, Mousavi Sagharchi SMA, Askandar RH, Merati A, Aghayari M, Kaviani N, Afkhami H, Kashfi M. A review for non-antibiotic treatment of Helicobacter pylori: new insight. Front Microbiol 2024; 15:1379209. [PMID: 38774508 PMCID: PMC11106852 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1379209] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Gastric ulcers and gastric cancer are brought on by the Helicobacter pylori bacteria, which colonizes under the stomach mucous membrane. Different medication regimens are used to remove it, but the illness returns and becomes more resistant, which lowers the treatment rates. Additionally, this bacterium now exhibits a skyrocketing level of multi-drug resistance, necessitating recurrent therapeutic treatments. The negative effects of synthetic medications in comparison to conventional therapies are another significant factor in favor of non-pharmacological therapy. The most significant side effects of popular anti-gastric ulcer medications include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Stomach ulcers have previously been treated with herbal remedies and complementary treatments like probiotics. When probiotics are ingested, the host experiences several advantages that may be brought about by altering the bacterial flora in the digestive system. Additionally, stronger-acting chemical compounds and plant extracts can be employed to treat patients. In this article, we look at the substances and medications that are utilized in place of synthetic stomach ulcer-curing treatments.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori, one of the top carcinogens, is associated with most cases of gastric cancer-related deaths worldwide. Over the past two decades, the rising rates of antibiotic resistance in the bacterium have reduced the efficacy of conventional antibiotic-based treatments. This underscores the urgency for continued research and novel treatment approaches. Establishing a worldwide accepted physician guideline for antibiotic prescription is crucial to combat antibiotic resistance and improve H. pylori infection management. Therefore, it is important to address the challenges that complicate the establishment of a universally accepted treatment protocol to prescribe an antibiotic regimen to eradicate H. pylori. The answers to the questions of why conventional standard triple therapy remains a first-line treatment choice despite its low efficacy, and how different factors affect therapy choice, are needed to identify these challenges. Hence, this review addresses concerns related to H. pylori treatment choice, role of antibiotic resistance and patient compliance in treatment outcomes, first-line vs. second-line therapy options, and methods for enhancing existing treatment methods. We also present a chart to aid antibiotic treatment prescription, which may support physician guidelines in this aspect. Eradication of H. pylori and patient adherence is paramount in overcoming antibiotic resistance in the bacterium, and our chart summarizes key considerations and suggests novel approaches to achieve this goal.

Abstract
Introduction The pathogenic bacterium Helicobacter pylori has evolved glycan-mediated mechanisms to evade host immune defenses. This study tests the hypothesis that genetic disruption of H. pylori glycan biosynthesis alters immune recognition and response by human gastric epithelial cells and monocyte-derived dendritic cells. Methods To test this hypothesis, human cell lines were challenged with wildtype H. pylori alongside an array of H. pylori glycosylation mutants. The relative levels of immune response were measured via immature dendritic cell maturation and cytokine secretion. Results Our findings indicate that disruption of lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis diminishes gastric cytokine production, without disrupting dendritic cell recognition and activation. In contrast, variable immune responses were observed in protein glycosylation mutants which prompted us to test the hypothesis that phase variation plays a role in regulating bacterial cell surface glycosylation and subsequent immune recognition. Lewis antigen presentation does not correlate with extent of immune response, while the extent of lipopolysaccharide O-antigen elaboration does. Discussion The outcomes of this study demonstrate that H. pylori glycans modulate the host immune response. This work provides a foundation to pursue immune-based tailoring of bacterial glycans towards modulating immunogenicity of microbial pathogens.

Int J Gen Med 2024; 17:1039-1046. [PMID: 38529098 PMCID: PMC10961585 DOI: 10.2147/ijgm.s452348] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Recurrence rate of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection after successful eradication have gained attention. This study was to assess the recurrence rate of H. pylori infection after successful eradication in the southern coastal provinces of China and to analyze its factors. Patients and Methods 975 patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms who were diagnosed with H. pylori infection using the 13C or 14C-urea breath test (UBT) underwent eradication treatment between August 2021 and December 2022. After eight to twelve weeks, repeat UBT was performed. Besides, 824 patients with successful eradication underwent a repeat UBT by completing questionnaires after a year. The 1-year recurrence rate was calculated, and the differences were analyzed based on baseline data, sociological characteristics, and lifestyle. Results A total of 734 patients completed the 1-year follow-up, out of which 26 (3.5%) patients experienced a recurrence of H. pylori infection. Exposure to other individuals infected with H. pylori (χ2=12.852, P<0.001), poor hygiene conditions at dining out places (χ2=6.839, P=0.009), frequent dining out (χ2=24.315, P<0.001), smoking (χ2=7.510, P=0.006), consumption of non-purified water (χ2=16.437, P<0.001), consumption of pickled foods (χ2=5.682, P=0.017), irregular meal patterns (χ2=16.877, P<0.001) and age (χ2=9.195, P=0.010) were significant factors for H. pylori infection recurrence. Exposure to other individuals infected with H. pylori, poor hygiene conditions at dining out places, consumption of non-purified water, frequent dining out and irregular meal patterns were independent risk factors (P=0.022, 0.016, 0.002, <0.001, <0.001; 95% CI 0.146-0.861, 0.121-0.806, 1.715-10.845, 0.085-0.521, 2.291-14.556). Conclusion The one-year recurrence rate of H. pylori infection post-eradication in the southern coastal provinces of China is 3.5%. Contacting with infected individuals, poor hygiene in dining places, consumption of non-purified water, frequent dining out, and irregular meal patterns were identified as significant independent factors influencing H. pylori recurrence.

In vitro anti- Helicobacter pylori activity and the underlining mechanism of an empirical herbal formula - Hezi Qingyou. Front Microbiol 2024; 15:1355460. [PMID: 38440143 PMCID: PMC10910045 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1355460] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is thought to primarily colonize the human stomach and lead to various gastrointestinal disorders, such as gastritis and gastric cancer. Currently, main eradication treatment is triple or quadruple therapy centered on antibiotics. Due to antibiotic resistance, the eradication rate of H. pylori is decreasing gradually. Therefore, searching for anti-H. pylori drugs from herbal sources has become a strategy for the treatment. Our team proposed a Hezi Qingyou Formula (HZQYF), composed of Chebulae Fructus, Ficus hirta Vahl and Cloves, and studied its anti-H. pylori activity and mechanism. Methods Chemical components of HZQYF were studied using UHPLC-MS/MS and HPLC. Broth microdilution method and agar dilution method were used to evaluate HZQYF's antibacterial activity. The effects of HZQYF on expression of adhesion genes (alpA, alpB, babA), urease genes (ureE, ureF), and flagellar genes (flaA, flaB) were explored using Reverse Transcription-quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) technology. Effects on morphology and permeability of the extracellular membrane were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N-phenylnaphthalen-1-amine (NPN) uptake. Effect on urease activity was studied using a urease kinetics analysis in vitro. Immunofluorescence staining method was used to examine the effect on adhesion. Western blot was used to examine the effect on cagA protein. Results Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of the formula against H. pylori clinical strains and standard strains were 80-160 μg/mL, and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values were 160-320 μg/mL. The formula could down-regulate the expression of adhesion genes (alpA, alpB, babA), urease genes (ureE, ureF) and flagellar genes (flaA, flaB), change the morphology of H. pylori, increase its extracellular membrane permeability, and decrease its urease activity. Conclusion Present studies confirmed that HZQYF had promising in vitro anti-H. pylori activities and demonstrated its possible mechanism of action by down-regulating the bacterial adhesion, urease, and flagellar gene expression, which provided scientific bases for further clinical investigations.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is the main etiopathogenetic factor of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. The world's population is shifting towards older people, who have the highest prevalence of H. pylori. Aging-related peculiarities could have an impact on the treatment of H. pylori and there is still a lack of research data in the older population. The aim of this review was to summarize the findings of the most recent information, publications and studies on the issues relating to H. pylori infection in older patients. H. pylori eradication offers gastrointestinal and extra gastrointestinal benefits in older patients. Based on the main guidelines, H. pylori should be eradicated independent of the patient's age, only reconsidering cases with terminal illness and low life expectancy. Proton pump inhibitors are generally safe and well tolerated. Some antibiotics require dose adjustment only in advanced renal insufficiency and the risk of hepatotoxicity is very low. Special precautions should be taken in patients with polypharmacy and those taking aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In older patients, H. pylori eradication treatment frequently causes only mild and short-term adverse events; however, treatment compliance is usually still very good. H. pylori treatment in older patients does not increase the risk of Clostridium difficile infection. Optimal eradication effectiveness (> 90%) is mostly achieved with bismuth- and non-bismuth-based quadruple therapies. Susceptibility-guided treatment of H. pylori can contribute to increasing the effectiveness of eradication regimens in older adults. To achieve optimal H. pylori eradication effectiveness in older patients, the same guidelines, which are applied to adults, also apply to this population: avoiding repetitive treatment prescriptions, choosing quadruple therapies, prescribing longer treatment duration and administering high-dose proton pump inhibitors twice daily.

Helicobacter 2024; 29:e13038. [PMID: 37983899 DOI: 10.1111/hel.13038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the antibiotic resistance of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) strains to clarithromycin, metronidazole, amoxicillin, levofloxacin, furazolidone, and tetracycline in Chinese children. MATERIALS AND METHODS This multicenter, retrospective study was conducted from January 2016 through May 2023. Gastric mucosa biopsies were obtained from pediatric participants who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at 96 hospitals in northern, southwestern, and southeastern China. The susceptibility of H. pylori to six commonly used antibiotics was determined by agar dilution method. RESULTS Among the 3074 H. pylori isolates, 36.7% were resistant to clarithromycin, 77.3% to metronidazole, 16.6% to levofloxacin, and 0.3% to amoxicillin. No strains were detected to be resistant to furazolidone or tetracycline. During the 8-year study period, resistance to clarithromycin and metronidazole showed a significant upward trend, while the resistance pattern of the other antibiotics demonstrated a slight but nonsignificant fluctuation. Significant regional differences were found in the distribution of clarithromycin resistance among the northern (66.0%), southwestern (48.2%), and southeastern (34.6%) regions. The metronidazole resistance rate was significantly lower in the southeastern coastal region (76.3%) than in the other two regions (88.2% in the north and 87.7% in the southwest). Multi-drug resistance for two or more antibiotics was detected in 36.3% of the H. pylori strains, and the predominant multi-resistance pattern was the dual resistance to clarithromycin and metronidazole. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of H. pylori resistance to clarithromycin and metronidazole is rather high in Chinese children and has been increasing over time. A relatively high resistance rate to levofloxacin was also noticed in children, while almost all strains were susceptible to amoxicillin, furazolidone, and tetracycline. It will be of great clinical significance to continuously monitor the antibiotic-resistance patterns of H. pylori in the pediatric population.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori, a gram-negative microaerophilic pathogen, causes several upper gastrointestinal diseases, such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer. For the diseases listed above, H. pylori has different pathogenic mechanisms, including colonization and virulence factor expression. It is essential to make accurate diagnoses and provide patients with effective treatment to achieve positive clinical outcomes. Detection of H. pylori can be accomplished invasively and noninvasively, with both having advantages and limitations. To enhance therapeutic outcomes, novel therapeutic regimens, as well as adjunctive therapies with probiotics and traditional Chinese medicine, have been attempted along with traditional empiric treatments, such as triple and bismuth quadruple therapies. An H. pylori infection, however, is difficult to eradicate during treatment owing to bacterial resistance, and there is no commonly available preventive vaccine. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of our understanding of H. pylori infections and to highlight current treatment and diagnostic options.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:13644. [PMID: 37686449 PMCID: PMC10487857 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241713644] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/02/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Oral cavity is an essential reservoir for H. pylori. We aimed to investigate the antibacterial effects of dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM) against H. pylori. Modified giomers were prepared by introducing 0%, 1.25% and 2.5% DMADDM monomers. Broth microdilution assay, spot assay, Alamer Blue assay, PMA-qPCR, crystal violet staining, scanning electron microscopy observation and live/dead bacterial staining were performed to evaluate the antibacterial and antibiofilm effects of DMADDM and modified giomers in vitro. Urease assay, qPCR, hematoxylin-eosin staining and ELISA were performed to evaluate the inflammation levels and colonization of H. pylori in vivo. In vitro experiments indicated that the minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration of DMADDM were 6.25 μg/mL and 25 μg/mL, respectively. It inhibited H. pylori in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and significantly reduced the expression of cagA, vacA, flaA and ureB. DMADDM-modified giomers inhibited the formation of H. pylori biofilm and reduced live cells within it. In vivo experiments confirmed that the pretreatment with DMADDM-modified dental resin effectively reduced the gastric colonization of oral-derived H. pylori, suppressed systemic and local gastric inflammation. DMADDM monomers and DMADDM-modified giomers possessed excellent antibacterial and antibiofilm effects on H. pylori. Pretreatment with DMADDM-modified giomers significantly inhibited the gastric infection by H. pylori.

The efficacy and safety of vonoprazan-amoxicillin dual therapy in eradicating Helicobacter pylori: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur J Med Res 2023; 28:272. [PMID: 37550781 PMCID: PMC10405488 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-023-01249-6] [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: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/09/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of vonoprazan-amoxicillin (VA) dual therapy for radically eradicating Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). METHODS The PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang databases were searched up to July 7, 2022, to identify clinical trials comparing the efficacy of VA dual therapy and triple therapy for H. pylori eradication. After evaluating the quality of the included studies, random effects models were conducted, and risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the efficacy and safety of each approach. RESULTS Six publications (including four randomized controlled trials) involving 2019 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, the eradication rate for VA dual therapy was 89.9%, while it was 85.2% for triple therapy based on other acid inhibitors. The eradication rate of H. pylori in the VA dual regimen group was higher than that in the PPI-based (omeprazole or lansoprazole) triple therapy group (RR = 1.15, 95% CI 1.07-1.23, p < 0.0001). However, the efficacy of VA dual therapy was comparable with VA-Clarithromycin (VAC) triple therapy (RR = 0.97, 95% CI 0.93-1.02). Besides, the incidence of adverse reactions in VA dual therapy was also lower than that in triple therapy (RR = 0.80, 95% CI 0.70-0.91, p = 0.0009). CONCLUSION Compared with PPI-based triple therapy, VA dual therapy showed a better therapeutic effect, safety and patient compliance rate for eradicating H. pylori, which should be used as a novel curative strategy in the future.

Abstract
Introduction: The gastric mucosa (GM) is the first barrier and vital interface in the stomach that protects the host from hydrochloric acid in gastric juice and defends against exogenous insults to gastric tissues. The use of traditional Chinese medications (TCMs) for the treatment of gastric mucosal injury (GMI) has long-standing history and a good curative effect. Whereas there are poor overall reports on the intrinsic mechanisms of these TCM preparations that pharmacology uses to protect body from GMI, which is crucial to treating this disease. These existing reviews have deficiencies that limit the clinical application and development of both customary prescriptions and new drugs. Methods: Further basic and translational studies must be done to elucidate the intrinsic mechanisms of influence of these TCM preparations. Moreover, well-designed and well-conducted experiences and clinical trials are necessary to ascertain the efficacy and mechanisms of these agents. Therefore, this paper presents a focused overview of currently published literature to assess how TCMs action that facilitates the cures for GMI. It offers a whole train of current state of pharmacological evidence, identifies the pharmacological mechanisms of TCMs on GM, and highlights that remarkable capacity of TCMs to restore GM after damage. Results: These TCMs preparations promote the repair of multicomponent targets such as the gastric mucus, epithelial layer, blood flow (GMBF) and lamina propria barrier. Summary: Overall, this study has summarized the essential regulatory mechanisms and pharmacological efficacy of TCMs on new and productive therapeutic targets. Discussion: This review provides an avenue for studying various drugs with potentially promising effects on mucosal integrity, as well as subsequent pharmacological studies, clinical applications, and new drug development.

Current State of Knowledge Regarding WHO High Priority Pathogens-Resistance Mechanisms and Proposed Solutions through Candidates Such as Essential Oils: A Systematic Review. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:9727.

Abstract
Combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is among the 10 global health issues identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2021. While AMR is a naturally occurring process, the inappropriate use of antibiotics in different settings and legislative gaps has led to its rapid progression. As a result, AMR has grown into a serious global menace that impacts not only humans but also animals and, ultimately, the entire environment. Thus, effective prophylactic measures, as well as more potent and non-toxic antimicrobial agents, are pressingly needed. The antimicrobial activity of essential oils (EOs) is supported by consistent research in the field. Although EOs have been used for centuries, they are newcomers when it comes to managing infections in clinical settings; it is mainly because methodological settings are largely non-overlapping and there are insufficient data regarding EOs' in vivo activity and toxicity. This review considers the concept of AMR and its main determinants, the modality by which the issue has been globally addressed and the potential of EOs as alternative or auxiliary therapy. The focus is shifted towards the pathogenesis, mechanism of resistance and activity of several EOs against the six high priority pathogens listed by WHO in 2017, for which new therapeutic solutions are pressingly required.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is an obligate microaerobion and does not survive in low oxygen. Sodium sulfite (SS) reacts and consume oxygen in solutions. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of SS on H. pylori. The effects of SS on oxygen concentrations in solutions and on H. pylori in vivo and in vitro were examined, and the mechanisms involved were explored. The results showed that SS decreased the oxygen concentration in water and artificial gastric juice. In Columbia blood agar and special peptone broth, SS concentration-dependently inhibited the proliferation of H. pylori ATCC43504 and Sydney strain-1 in Columbia blood agar or special peptone broth, and dose-dependently decreased the number of H. pylori in Mongolian gerbils and Kunming mouse infection models. The H. pylori was relapsed in 2 weeks withdrawal and the recurrence in the SS group was lower than that in the positive triple drug group. These effects were superior to positive triple drugs. After SS treatments, the cell membrane and cytoplasm structure of H. pylori were disrupted. SS-induced oxygen-free environment initially blocked aerobic respiration, triggered oxidative stress, disturbed energy production. In conclusion, SS consumes oxygen and creates an oxygen-free environment in which H. pylori does not survive. The present study provides a new strategy and perspective for the clinical treatment of H. pylori infectious disease.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is a leading cause of global mortality but also a cancer whose footprint is highly unequal. This review aims to define global disease epidemiology, critically appraise strategies of prevention and disease attenuation, and assess how these strategies could be applied to improve outcomes from GC in a world of variable risk and disease burden. Strategies of primary prevention focus on improving the detection and eradication of the main environmental risk factor, Helicobacter pylori. In certain countries of high incidence, endoscopic or radiographic screening of the asymptomatic general population has been adopted as a means of secondary prevention. By contrast, identification and targeted surveillance of individuals with precancerous lesions (such as intestinal metaplasia) is being increasingly embraced in nations of low incidence. This review also highlights existing knowledge gaps in GC prevention as well as the role of emerging technologies for early detection and risk stratification.

Abstract
The ABC method is a classification method used for stratifying the risk of gastric cancer. However, whether the ABC method should be performed only once or multiple times throughout an individual’s lifetime remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze whether performing ABC screening twice in a lifetime is useful. We retrospectively analyzed the data of individuals who participated in health checkups in 2010 and 2015. We collected data on patient characteristics, pepsinogen levels, anti-Helicobacter pylori antibody titers, and the presence of gastric cancer. Overall, 7129 participants without a history of H. pylori eradication were included in this study. The participants’ average age in 2010 was 48.4 ± 8.3 years, and 58.1% were male. In addition, 11 and 20 cases of new H. pylori infection (0.15%) and spontaneous eradication (0.28%), respectively, were recorded. No significant difference was found in the incidence of gastric cancer between participants who underwent the ABC method once and those who underwent it twice (Group A: 0.16% vs. 0.16%; Group B: 0.47% vs. 0.39%; and Group C + D: 1.97% vs. 1.82%). Therefore, performing the ABC method twice, 5 years apart, does not significantly improve gastric cancer risk stratification.

Controlling the Impact of Helicobacter pylori-Related Hyperhomocysteinemia on Neurodegeneration. Medicina (B Aires) 2023; 59:medicina59030504. [PMID: 36984505 PMCID: PMC10056452 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59030504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2022] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection consists a high global burden affecting more than 50% of the world’s population. It is implicated, beyond substantiated local gastric pathologies, i.e., peptic ulcers and gastric cancer, in the pathophysiology of several neurodegenerative disorders, mainly by inducing hyperhomocysteinemia-related brain cortical thinning (BCT). BCT has been advocated as a possible biomarker associated with neurodegenerative central nervous system disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and/or glaucoma, termed as “ocular Alzheimer’s disease”. According to the infection hypothesis in relation to neurodegeneration, Helicobacter pylori as non-commensal gut microbiome has been advocated as trigger and/or mediator of neurodegenerative diseases, such as the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Among others, Helicobacter pylori-related inflammatory mediators, defensins, autophagy, vitamin D, dietary factors, role of probiotics, and some pathogenetic considerations including relevant involved genes are discussed within this opinion article. In conclusion, by controlling the impact of Helicobacter pylori-related hyperhomocysteinemia on neurodegenerative disorders might offer benefits, and additional research is warranted to clarify this crucial topic currently representing a major worldwide burden.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain containing 3 (CMTM3) plays an important role in cancer development. Although Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a main cause of gastric cancer, the function of CMTM3 during H. pylori infection remains unclear. CMTM3 expression levels in tissues from H. pylori-infected patients and cells co-cultured with H. pylori were analyzed. qRT-PCR and ELISA were used to investigate the effects of CMTM3 on interleukin 8 (IL-8) expression. Annexin V/propidium iodide staining was performed to evaluate the function of CMTM3 in the apoptosis of gastric epithelial cells. Proteomic analysis was performed to explore the underlying mechanism of CMTM3 during H. pylori infection. The interaction between CMTM3 and NEMO was determined via co-immunoprecipitation, HA-ubiquitin pull-down assay, and immunofluorescence. RESULTS H. pylori induced a significant increase in CMTM3 expression. CMTM3 inhibited gastric mucosal epithelial cells from apoptosis and increased the expression level of IL-8 during H. pylori infection. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that differentially expressed proteins were involved in epithelial cell signaling in H. pylori infection. CMTM3 directly interacted with NEMO, which promoted protein stabilization by down-regulation of its ubiquitylation. CONCLUSIONS CMTM3 reduces apoptosis and promotes IL-8 expression in the gastric epithelial cells by stabilizing NEMO during H. pylori infection. These findings characterize a new role for CMTM3 in host-pathogen interactions and provide novel insight into the molecular regulation of NEMO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) can persistently colonize on the gastric mucosa after infection and cause gastritis, atrophy, metaplasia, and even gastric cancer (GC). METHODS Therefore, the detection and eradication of H. pylori are the prerequisite. RESULTS Clinically, there are some controversial issues, such as why H. pylori infection is persistent, why it translocases along with the lesser curvature of the stomach, why there is oxyntic antralization, what the immunological characteristic of gastric chronic inflammation caused by H. pylori is, whether H. pylori infection is associated with extra-gastric diseases, whether chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is reversible, and what the potential problems are after H. pylori eradication. What are the possible answers? CONCLUSION In the review, we will discuss these issues from the attachment to eradication in detail.

Antibiotic Resistance of Helicobacter pylori and Related Risk Factors in Yangzhou, China: A Cross-Sectional Study. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12030816. [PMID: 36769465 PMCID: PMC9917918 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12030816] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The antibiotic resistance of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a common cause of treatment failure. Previous studies showed that H. pylori resistance may be related to some characteristics of patients. This study intended to investigate the resistance of H. pylori to five commonly used antibiotics and risk factors in Yangzhou, China. METHODS We recruited the subjects who joined the endoscopic screening program organized by the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University between April 2018 and September 2019 and endoscopists would take biopsy samples from the antrum and the corpus of the stomach. The antrum biopsy specimens were used to culture H. pylori. Next, we extracted DNA from H. pylori strains and performed the specific DNA amplification. Finally, we use gene chip technology to test the susceptibility to clarithromycin, levofloxacin, metronidazole, amoxicillin and tetracycline. Multivariate logistic analyses were also performed to determine the risk factors for antibiotic resistance of H. pylori. RESULTS A total of 461 H. pylori strains were finally collected. The resistance rate of H. pylori to clarithromycin, levofloxacin, metronidazole, amoxicillin and tetracycline was 41.0%, 44.9%, 38.8%, 6.3% and 1.1%, respectively. In addition, 16 multi-resistance patterns were detected, and strains resistant to all five antibiotics were not found. Multivariate analysis showed that past medical history and clinical outcomes were significantly associated with the resistance to clarithromycin. Drinking, gastrointestinal symptoms and a family history of gastric cancer were significantly associated with the resistance of H. pylori to levofloxacin. Especially gastrointestinal symptoms were significantly associated with the resistance of H. pylori to any antibiotic. CONCLUSION The resistance rates of H. pylori to clarithromycin, levofloxacin and metronidazole were very high in Yangzhou, China, various factors were related to bacterial resistance, and grasping these influencing factors can guide treatment.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, a type-1 carcinogen, was closely associated with gastric cancer (GC). Successfully eradicating H. pylori infection could reduce the incidence of GC. China was a country with high incidence of GC and high prevalence of H. pylori infection. Nearly half of worldwide GC new cases and deaths attributed to H. pylori infection occurred in China. H. pylori prevalence varied over time with the improvement of socioeconomic status and sanitary conditions. The knowledge of antibiotic resistance rate in time was important to guide the clinical choice of antibiotics use in the regimens. With the publication of five Chinese consensus reports on the management of H. pylori infection and the effort of public preach of H. pylori-related knowledge, the standardization of H. pylori diagnosis and treatment by clinicians was improved. Bismuth-containing quadruple therapy was widely applied in clinical practice of H. pylori eradication because of high efficacy and safety. High-dose Proton Pump Inhibitor-amoxicillin dual therapy or vonoprazan-amoxicillin dual therapy showed comparable efficacy and lower side effects than bismuth-containing quadruple therapy, which were the alternative choice. The diagnosis rate of early GC was low and distinguishing Chinese GC risk population for the further endoscopy screening was important. Efforts have been done to establish prediction models to stratify GC risk in the Chinese GC risk population. We reviewed the current situation of the management of H. pylori infection and prevention and control of GC in China here.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is chronic and etiologically linked to gastric cancer (GC) derived from gastric epithelium. The potential mechanism is complex, covering chronic inflammation, epithelial senescence, NF-κB activation, the cytotoxin-associated gene A protein translocation, and related abnormal signaling pathways. In clinical practice, the test-and-treat strategy, endoscopy-based strategy, and (family-based) screen-and-treat strategy are recommended to detect H. pylori and prevent GC. It has been demonstrated that the decreasing annual incidence of GC is largely attributable to the management of H. pylori. This study reviews the current clinical practice of H. pylori on the detection and eradication, alternative treatment strategies, and related problems and advances, and hopes to contribute to the better clinical management of H. pylori.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The recent data on the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in Russia are limited. The aim of the study was to compare Helicobacter pylori infection prevalence in ambulatory settings in Russia in 2017 and 2019 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS Subjects visiting primary care centers were invited to take part in the study. H. pylori status was assessed by 13 C-urea breath test (UBT). Data on subjects' demography, previous treatment exposure, and place of residence were collected in all federal districts of Russia in 2017 and in 2019 calendar years and processed centrally. RESULTS The data of 19,875 subjects were available for analysis. The prevalence of H. pylori infection assessed by positive UBT in treatment-naive subjects was highest in the Southern (54.9%) and the North Caucasian (45.1%) federal districts. A significant difference (p < 0.05) in H. pylori prevalence between two testing periods was found only in a half of federal districts: the Central (46.2% in 2017 vs. 36.2% in 2019), the Northwestern (38.6% vs. 35.5% accordingly), the Volga (40.6% vs. 33.0%, accordingly), and the Ural (40.4% vs. 32.7%, accordingly). The lowest prevalence of H. pylori infection was revealed in the age group <18 years old (20.2%), while the highest in the age group of 41-50 years old (43.9%). In 2017, the prevalence of H. pylori was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than in 2019 in all age groups but younger than 18 and older than 70 y.o., where similar rates were found during both study periods. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of H. pylori according to 13 C-UBT testing of primary care visitors in Russia is lower than expected (38.8%). The highest prevalence of H. pylori infection found in the Southern and the North Caucasian federal districts of Russia and in the age group of 41-50 years old. This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04892238).

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The efficacy and safety of amoxicillin-vonoprazan (VA) dual therapy remained unclear. METHODS This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2009 guidelines. A systematic search of the Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane database was conducted using the combination of "Helicobacter pylori or H. pylori or Hp," "amoxicillin or penicillin," and "Vonoprazan or TAK-438 or Takecab or (potassium AND competitive) or potassium-competitive." The initial and secondary outcome of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VA dual therapy. RESULTS Three studies and 668 H. pylori infected patients were included in this meta-analysis. The crude eradication rate of VA dual therapy was 87.5% and 89.6% by ITT and PP analysis, respectively. No significant differences were observed regarding the VA dual therapy and vonoprazan-amoxicillin-clarithromycin (VAC) triple therapy according to ITT (RR = 0.99, 95% CI, 0.93-1.05, P = 0.65) and PP (RR = 0.99, 95% CI, 0.94-1.05, P = 0.82) analysis. The side effect of VA dual therapy was 19.1% (95% CI, 5.9-32.4), which was lower than that of VAC triple therapy but there was no statistical significance (RR = 0.75, 95% CI, 0.59-1.06, P = 0.12). CONCLUSION VA dual therapy shows acceptable efficacy, good safety and avoid unnecessary antibiotic use in the first-line treatment for H. pylori infection. However, its application in other regions need to be further explored.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is a prevalent organism infecting almost half the global population. It is a significant concern, given its associated risk of gastric cancer, which is the third leading cause of cancer death globally. Infection can be asymptomatic or present with dyspeptic symptoms. It may also present with alarm symptoms in the case of progression to cancer. Diagnosis can be achieved non-invasively (breath tests, stool studies, or serology) or invasively (rapid urease test, biopsy, or culture). Treatment involves acid suppression and regimens containing several antibiotics and is guided by resistance rates. Eradication is essential, as it lowers the risk of complications and progression to cancer. Follow-up after eradication is similarly important, as the risk of cancer progression remains. There have been many recent advances in both diagnosis and treatment of Hp. In particular, biosensors may be effective diagnostic tools, and nanotechnology, vaccines, and potassium-competitive acid blockers may prove effective in enhancing eradication rates.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the cost-effectiveness of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) screening and eradication treatment in an asymptomatic population in China and to explore the most cost-effective screening protocol for H. pylori. Method We used TreeAge 2019 to construct Markov models to assess the direct healthcare costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and the cost per year of life saved (YoLS) of three therapies, i.e., annual, triennial and five-yearly H. pylori screening. Excess probabilities were derived from published high quality studies and Meta-analyses, and costs and utilities were derived from the Chinese Yearbook of Health Care Statistics and published studies. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were used to describe the results. The willingness-to-pay threshold was set at China's Gross National Product per capita. Result In the asymptomatic population, the ICER per QALYs gained was US$1238.47 and US$1163.71 for every three and five years of screening compared to the annual screening group; the ICER per YoLS gained was US$3067.91 and US$1602.78, respectively. Conclusion Screening for H. pylori in asymptomatic populations in China and eradicating treatment for those who test positive is cost-effective. Increasing screening participation in asymptomatic populations is more effective than increasing the frequency of screening. From a national payer perspective, it is cost-effective to screen the general asymptomatic population in China for H. pylori and to eradicate those who test positive. Individuals need to choose a screening programme that they can afford according to their financial situation.

Abstract
Gram-negative bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is lifelong and usually acquired in childhood, which is etiologically linked to gastric cancer (GC). H. pylori gastritis is defined as an infectious disease with varying severity in virtually all infected subjects. Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is the precancerous condition with the decrease or the loss of gastric glands, which can further be replaced by metaplasia or fibrosis. Patients with advanced stages of CAG are at higher risk of GC and should be followed up with a high-quality endoscopy every 3 years. H. pylori infection is the most common cause and its eradication is recommended, which may contribute to the regression of CAG. However, it is controversial whether CAG is reversible after eradication therapy. In the review, we discuss recent studies which provide important insights into whether CAG is 'reversibility' and when it may progress into GC after eradicating H. pylori.

Abstract
The oral cavity serves as another reservoir for gastric Helicobacter pylori and may contribute to the failure of gastric H. pylori eradication therapy. However, changes to the oral microbial composition after gastric H. pylori eradication therapy has not yet been identified. This study aims to dissect whether the oral microbiota is involved and which bacterium mediates the clinic failure in H. pylori eradication. In the present study, the oral microorganisms from patients who had received the gastric H. pylori eradication treatment were analyzed by a high-throughput 16S rRNA deep sequencing. We found that the β diversity and composition of oral microbiota were remarkably changed in the patients who had experienced successful gastric H. pylori eradication treatment (SE group) compared to the failure group (FE group). Significantly enriched families, including Prevotellaceae, Streptococcaceae, Caulobacteraceae, and Lactobacillaceae, were detected in the SE group. In contrast, the bacterial families, such as Weeksellaceae, Neisseriaceae, Peptostreptococcaceae, Spirochaetaceae, and Veillonellaceae, were abundantly expressed in the FE group. Five operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were positively correlated with DOB values, while two OTUs exhibited negative trends. These different enriched OTUs were extensively involved in the 20 metabolic pathways. These results suggest that a balanced environment in the oral microbiota contributes to H. pylori eradication and metabolic homeostasis in humans. Our data demonstrated that the changes in oral microbiota might contribute to the therapeutic effects of antibiotic therapy. Therefore, a different therapy on the detrimental oral microbiota will increase the therapeutic efficacy of antibiotics on H. pylori infection. ![]()

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Helicobacter pylori infection is mostly a family-based infectious disease. To facilitate its prevention and management, a national consensus meeting was held to review current evidence and propose strategies for population-wide and family-based H. pylori infection control and management to reduce the related disease burden. METHODS Fifty-seven experts from 41 major universities and institutions in 20 provinces/regions of mainland China were invited to review evidence and modify statements using Delphi process and grading of recommendations assessment, development and evaluation system. The consensus level was defined as ≥80% for agreement on the proposed statements. RESULTS Experts discussed and modified the original 23 statements on family-based H. pylori infection transmission, control and management, and reached consensus on 16 statements. The final report consists of three parts: (1) H. pylori infection and transmission among family members, (2) prevention and management of H. pylori infection in children and elderly people within households, and (3) strategies for prevention and management of H. pylori infection for family members. In addition to the 'test-and-treat' and 'screen-and-treat' strategies, this consensus also introduced a novel third 'family-based H. pylori infection control and management' strategy to prevent its intrafamilial transmission and development of related diseases. CONCLUSION H. pylori is transmissible from person to person, and among family members. A family-based H. pylori prevention and eradication strategy would be a suitable approach to prevent its intra-familial transmission and related diseases. The notion and practice would be beneficial not only for Chinese residents but also valuable as a reference for other highly infected areas.

Cytotoxin-Associated Gene A-Negative Helicobacter pylori Promotes Gastric Mucosal CX3CR1+CD4+ Effector Memory T Cell Recruitment in Mice. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:813774.

Abstract
Background Helicobacter pylori can cause many kinds of gastric disorders, ranging from gastritis to gastric cancer. Cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA)+H. pylori is more likely to cause gastric histopathologic damage than CagA–H. pylori. However, the underlying mechanism needs to be further investigated. Materials and methods Mice were intragastrically administered equal amounts of CagA+ or CagA–H. pylori. Four weeks later, 24 chemokines in stomachs were measured using a mouse chemokine array, and the phenotypes of the recruited gastric CD4+ T cells were analyzed. The migration pathway was evaluated. Finally, the correlation between each pair among the recruited CD4+ T cell sub-population, H. pylori colonization level, and histopathologic damage score were determined by Pearson correlation analysis. Results The concentration of chemokines, CCL3 and CX3CL1, were significantly elevated in CagA–H. pylori-infected gastric mucosa than in CagA+H. pylori-infected gastric mucosa. Among them, CX3CL1 secreted by gastric epithelial cells, which was elicited more effectively by CagA–H. pylori than by the CagA+ strain, dramatically promoted mucosal CD4+ T cell migration. The expression of CX3CR1, the only known receptor of CX3CL1, was upregulated on the surface of gastric CD4+ T cells in CagA–H. pylori-infected stomach. In addition, most of the CX3CR1-positive gastric CD4+ T cells were CD44+CD69–CCR7– effector memory T cells (Tem). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the recruited CX3CR1+CD4+ Tem cell population was negatively correlated with H. pylori colonization level and histopathologic damage score. Conclusion CagA–H. pylori promotes gastric mucosal CX3CR1+CD4+ Tem recruitment in mice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To update and evaluate the recurrence rate of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication therapy in recent 10 years. METHODS A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, and Web of science was performed to identify the studies of recurrence rate of H. pylori published from 2010 to 2019. Stata 15.0 was used for analysis. RESULTS A total of 31 studies (16,797 participants) were analyzed. The recurrence rate of H. pylori was 9% (95% CI, 8-11%), and it showed an upward trend with the time elapsed after eradication. The annual recurrence rate was 4%, and there was a stable trend with the time elapsed after eradication. Subgroup analyses showed that the recurrence rate of H. pylori eradication by triple therapy was higher than that of quadruple therapy (14% [95% CI, 9-19] vs 12% [95% CI, 7-17]); urban was higher than that of rural (8% [95% CI, 1-14] vs 5% [95% CI, 1-9]); males were higher than that of females (11% [95% CI, 8-14] vs 10% [95% CI, 7-14]); Europe had the highest recurrence rate (16% [95% CI, -1 to 42]), and Africa had the lowest (1% [95% CI, 0-2]). The recurrence rate ofH. pylori was inversely related to the human development index. CONCLUSIONS The recurrence rate of H. pylori showed an increasing trend in recent 10 years, and it is still a knotty public health problem worldwide. The recurrence rate of H. pylori showed an upward trend with the time elapsed after eradication, and the recurrence rate of H. pylori varies by area, gender, and eradication methods.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has occupied a significant place among infectious pathogens and it has been documented as a leading challenge due to its higher resistance to the commonly used drugs, higher adaptability, and lower targeting specificity of the available drugs. AREAS COVERED New treatment strategies are urgently needed in order to improve the current advancement in modern medicine. Nanocarriers have gained an advantage of drug encapsulation and high retention time in the stomach with a prolonged drug release rate at the targeted site. This article aims to highlight the recent advances in nanotechnology with special emphasis on metallic, polymeric, lipid, membrane coated, and target-specific nanoparticles (NPs), as well as, natural products for treating H. pylori infection. We discussed a comprehensive approach to understand H. pylori infection and elicits to rethink about the increasing threat posed by H. pylori and its treatment strategies. EXPERT OPINION To address these issues, nanotechnology has got huge potential to combat H. pylori infection and has made great progress in the field of biomedicine. Moreover, combinatory studies of natural products and probiotics in conjugation with NPs have proven efficiency against H. pylori infection, with an advantage of lower cytotoxicity, minimal side effects, and stronger antibacterial potential.[Figure: see text].

INFECTION GENETICS AND EVOLUTION 2021; 96:105102. [PMID: 34624541 DOI: 10.1016/j.meegid.2021.105102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2021] [Revised: 09/25/2021] [Accepted: 09/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) infection is reported to be associated with extragastric disorders which include kidney diseases. But the association between H. pylori infection and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is unclear as far. Thus, we performed the study to investigate the prevalence of H. pylori infection and its association with eGFR in a Chinese population. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study in adults who took health examination at the First Hospital of Jilin University in 2019. All the subjects received 14C-labled urea breath test to determine the H. pylori infection, and we analyzed the relationship between prevalence of H. pylori infection and eGFR. RESULTS Among 3593 participants in the health checkup, the positive rate of H. pylori infection was 37.3%. H. pylori-positive participants had a lower level of eGFR than H. pylori-negative participants. In univariate analysis, we observed that the positive rate of H. pylori infection and RR (relative risk) became larger with eGFR decreased, however, the association was not significant after adjustment for other factors. Further multivariable analysis showed age and sex were the main confounders between eGFR and H. pylori infection. CONCLUSIONS The correlation between eGFR and positive rate of H. pylori infection was confounded by age and sex.

Helicobacter 2021; 26:e12839. [PMID: 34318971 DOI: 10.1111/hel.12839] [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: 05/18/2021] [Revised: 07/08/2021] [Accepted: 07/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The decreasing Helicobacter pylori eradication rate and the increasing antibiotic resistance trend are of great concern. Therefore, new and effective therapies are needed for H. pylori infection. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of semisynthetic tetracycline regimens in H. pylori treatment. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane library were searched. The outcome indicators were the eradication rate, risk ratio (RR, ie, the risk of the semisynthetic tetracycline regimen relative to the control), and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Controls were patients undergoing any other treatment without semisynthetic tetracycline. RESULTS Twenty-three studies with 5240 participants were included. The eradication rates of triple regimens with semisynthetic tetracyclines in most studies were less than 70% in both the intention-to-treat (ITT) and the per-protocol (PP) analyses. The pooled eradication rates of quadruple therapies with doxycycline and controls were 95% and 84% in the PP analyses, respectively. The pooled RR associated with efficacy in the quadruple therapy with doxycycline group compared with the control group was 1.12 (95% CI: 1.04-1.20) in the PP analysis. The pooled RR of side effects in the quadruple therapy with doxycycline group compared with the control group was 1.01 (95% CI: 0.65-1.55). CONCLUSION Seven-day and ten-day quadruple therapy with doxycycline might be an optional first-line therapy. The safety of regimens containing semisynthetic tetracyclines was relatively satisfactory. However, the triple regimen is not recommended.

Gastritis: The clinico-pathological spectrum. Dig Liver Dis 2021; 53:1237-1246.

Abstract
The inflammatory spectrum of gastric diseases includes different clinico-pathological entities, the etiology of which was recently established in the international Kyoto classification. A diagnosis of gastritis combines the information resulting form the gross examination (endoscopy) and histology (microscopy). It is important to consider the anatomical/functional heterogeneity of the gastric mucosa when obtaining representative mucosal biopsy samples. Gastritis includes self-limiting and non-self-limiting (long-standing) inflammatory diseases, and the latter are epidemiologically, biologically and clinically linked to the onset of gastric cancer (i.e. "inflammation-associated cancer"). Different biological models of inflammation-associated gastric oncogenesis have been proposed. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) gastritis is the most prevalent worldwide, and H. pylori is classified as a first-class carcinogen. On these bases, eradicating H. pylori is mandatory for the primary prevention of gastric cancer. Non-self-limiting gastritis may also be triggered by the immune-mediated destruction of gastric parietal cells, resulting in autoimmune gastritis. In both H. pylori-related and autoimmune gastritis, the non-self-limiting inflammation results in atrophy of the gastric mucosa, which is the main factor promoting gastric cancer. Long-term follow-up studies consistently demonstrate the prognostic impact of the histological staging of gastritis in gastric cancer secondary prevention strategies.

Abstract
The Indian Society of Gastroenterology (ISG) felt the need to organize a consensus on Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and to update the current management of H. pylori infection; hence, ISG constituted the ISG's Task Force on Helicobacter pylori. The Task Force on H. pylori undertook an exercise to produce consensus statements on H. pylori infection. Twenty-five experts from different parts of India, including gastroenterologists, pathologists, surgeons, epidemiologists, pediatricians, and microbiologists participated in the meeting. The participants were allocated to one of following sections for the meeting: Epidemiology of H. pylori infection in India and H. pylori associated conditions; diagnosis; treatment and retreatment; H. pylori and gastric cancer, and H. pylori prevention/public health. Each group reviewed all published literature on H. pylori infection with special reference to the Indian scenario and prepared appropriate statements on different aspects for voting and consensus development. This consensus, which was produced through a modified Delphi process including two rounds of face-to-face meetings, reflects our current understanding and recommendations for the diagnosis and management of H. pylori infection. These consensus should serve as a reference for not only guiding treatment of H. pylori infection but also to guide future research on the subject.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infects approximately 50% of the world population. Its infection is associated with gastropathies, extra-gastric digestive diseases, and diseases of other systems. There is a canonical process from acute-on-chronic inflammation, chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), intestinal metaplasia (IM), dysplasia, and intraepithelial neoplasia, eventually to gastric cancer (GC). H. pylori eradication abolishes the inflammatory response and early treatment prevents the progression to preneoplastic lesions. METHODS the test-and-treat strategy, endoscopy-based strategy, and screen-and-treat strategy are recommended to prevent GC based on risk stratification, prevalence, and patients' clinical manifestations and conditions. Challenges contain false-negative results, increasing antibiotic resistance, decreasing eradication rate, and poor retesting rate. Present diagnosis methods are mainly based on invasive endoscopy and noninvasive laboratory testing. RESULTS to improve the accuracy and effectiveness and reduce the missed diagnosis, some advances were achieved including newer imaging techniques (such as image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE), artificial intelligence (AI) technology, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and digital PCR (dPCR). CONCLUSION in the article, we summarized the diagnosis methods of H. pylori infection and recent advances, further finding out the opportunities in challenges.
