Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the incidence of new-onset gastroesophageal reflux, reflux change, esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, and revision due to reflux, gastritis, and marginal ulcer after one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB). We performed subgroup analyses based on primary and revisional OAGB and time of follow-up. Meta-analysis of 87 studies with 27,775 patients showed a 6% rate of new-onset reflux after OAGB. Preoperative reflux status did not change significantly after OAGB. The rate of esophagitis and Barrett's esophagus was 15% and 1%, respectively. The new-onset reflux rate after OAGB was significantly higher than gastric bypass but not different with sleeve gastrectomy. The current study showed a relatively low rate of reflux and its complications after OAGB, but it was significantly higher than Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

[PMID: 37928353 PMCID: PMC10623155 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2023.1275842] [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: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Gastric delta cells (D-cells) secrete somatostatin, which is the primary paracrine suppressor of acid secretion. The number and distribution of D-cells were investigated in children exhibiting endoscopic findings of duodenogastric and gastroesophageal reflux. This study aimed to determine whether the number of D-cells in the gastric body differs from that in the gastric antrum in children using endoscopic findings. Methods We retrospectively used immunohistochemical assessments to determine the number of D-cells in the gastric body and antrum in 102 children who presented with abdominal symptoms. The number and distribution of D-cells were investigated according to symptoms, endoscopic findings of gastroesophageal reflux and duodenogastric reflux, and Helicobacter pylori infection status. Results The average age of the patients was 13.3 ± 3.3 years, and the male-to-female ratio was 1:1.68. The mean number of D-cells per high-power field in the antrum and body did not significantly differ by symptoms. However, these values were significantly lower in the gastric body than in the antrum for all symptoms (p < 0.05). Children with reflux had a higher mean number of D-cells (9.6 ± 8.8) in the gastric body than did those without reflux (4.3 ± 3.4) (p = 0.007). Furthermore, the number of D-cells in the gastric body was marginally significantly lower in Helicobacter pylori-positive children (4.9 ± 6.5) than in Helicobacter pylori-negative children (8.5 ± 8.2) (p = 0.053). Conclusion The number of D-cells in the gastric body decreased in Helicobacter pylori-positive children but significantly increased in children with duodenogastric reflux. Therefore, somatostatin peptide secretion by D-cells may be a major pathophysiological pathway in gastrointestinal reflux disease.

Abstract
Objectives: The gastric mucosal change accompanying gastric antral intestinal metaplasia (IM) in the pediatric population and its clinical implications remain unclear. Methods: We retrieved all patients younger than 18 years who had upper GI endoscopy with a pathology diagnosis of antral IM between 2009 and 2020. Each biopsy was evaluated for the presence of dysplasia, Helicobacter pylori, gastritis, and other pathologic changes. Results: A total of 134 patients with antral IM were identified; 72 (53.7%) with coexisting pathology including chronic gastritis (n = 22), reactive gastropathy (n = 16), focal mild chronic inflammation (n = 13), gastric eosinophilia (n = 9), chronic active gastritis associated with (n = 2) and without Helicobacter infection (n = 3), and others (n = 7). The remaining 62 (46.3%) showed isolated IM. Gastric IM increased with age, and was often accompanied by other pathologic changes, especially in female children. Twenty-seven patients had follow up biopsies; 11 of the 27 patients (40.7%) showed persistent IM in at least one repeat biopsies. None demonstrated dysplasia. Conclusions: In children, antral IM increases with age and often coexists with other pathologic changes. Gastric IM could persist for at least months to years in a significant subset of patients with chronic gastritis and gastric eosinophilia.

Arslan M, Balamtekin N. The Relationship between Primary Duodenogastric Reflux and Helicobacter pylori Gastritis in Children. Dig Dis 2021; 40:276-281. [PMID: 34010846 DOI: 10.1159/000517263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2021] [Accepted: 05/14/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Most studies of the relationship between duodenogastric reflux (DGR) and Helicobacter pylori have reported that the presence of DGR decreases H. pylori colonization, while H. pylori infection increases the frequency of DGR by impairing antroduodenal motility. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between primary DGR and the prevalence of H. pylori in children, as well as the degree of colonization and the presence and severity of gastritis. METHODS Included in the study were 410 patients between the ages of 2 and 18 years, referred to the pediatric gastroenterology clinic with complaints of dyspepsia, abdominal pain, and nausea/vomiting, who underwent upper gastrointestinal system endoscopic examination and stomach biopsy. The study group included 60 patients with DGR, while 350 non-DGR patients formed the control group. RESULTS The mean age of patients with DGR was 15.7 ± 2.1 years, while the mean age of the control group was 14.2 ± 3.8 years (p = 0.02). Of those with DGR, 50 (83.3%) were girls, while in the control group, 215 (61.4%) were girls (p = 0.001). Of patients with DGR, 16 were H. pylori (+) (26.7%), while in the control group, 168 were H. pylori (+) (48%) (p = 0.002). There was no significant difference between the 2 groups with respect to H. pylori degree of colonization (p = 0.08). Gastritis was present in 56 (93.3%) patients in the DGR group and 322 (92%) patients in the control group (p = 0.72). A significant difference was found between the 2 groups in terms of gastritis severity (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The mean age of patients with DGR was significantly higher than that of patients without DGR, and DGR was found to be more common in girls. In patients with DGR, H. pylori prevalence was significantly lower than in those without DGR; however, no significant difference was found between the 2 groups with respect to the colonization degree.

The Effect of Primary Duodenogastric Bile Reflux on the Presence and Density of Helicobacter pylori and on Gastritis in Childhood. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2019; 55:medicina55120775. [PMID: 31817518 PMCID: PMC6956137 DOI: 10.3390/medicina55120775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2019] [Revised: 11/30/2019] [Accepted: 12/02/2019] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Although there are many studies that investigate the relationship between duodenogastric reflux (DGR) and Helicobacter pylori in adult patients, the reported data are contradictory. In addition, there are very few studies in the literature investigating the relationship between DGR and H. pylori in the pediatric age group. In the present study, we investigated the effect of primary DGR on H. pylori and gastritis. Materials and Methods: A total of 361 patients who were referred to the clinic of our hospital with dyspeptic complaints who had an upper gastrointestinal system endoscopy and a gastric biopsy were included in the study. Results: DGR was detected in 45 cases, and 316 cases that did not have DGR were considered as the control group. Comparisons were made between the DGR cases and the control group in terms of risk factors (age, gender), the presence and density of H. pylori, and the presence and severity of gastritis. The average age of the patients who were included in the study was 11.6 ± 4.6 years. A total of 128 (36%) of the cases were male and 233 (64%) were female. DGR was present in 45 (13%) of the cases. The average age of the patients with DGR was 13.9 ± 3.1 years, the average age of the control group was 11.3 ± 4.7, and there were statistically significant differences (p < 0.001). No significant differences were detected in terms of gender between DGR and the control group (p > 0.05). H. pylori (+) was detected in 29 (64%) of patients with DGR, and in 202 (64%) of the control group. No significant differences were detected between H. pylori prevalence (p = 0.947). Gastritis was detected in 37 (82%) of the patients with DGR, and in 245 (77%) of the control group (p = 0.476). No significant differences were detected between the presence and density of H. pylori, gastritis presence, severity and DGR (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The ages of patients with DGR were significantly higher than in the control group, and advanced age was shown to be a risk factor for primary DGR. It was found that the presence of DGR has no effect on the presence and severity of H. pylori. Given this situation, we consider it is important to eradicate H. pylori infection, especially in the case where H. pylori is present together with DGR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minigastric bypass (MGB) is being performed widely with effective weight loss and improvement in co-morbidities. Because of similarity to Billroth II (BII), there are concerns about bile reflux. OBJECTIVES To assess the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) function, esophageal peristalsis, and reflux exposure after MGB and BII. SETTING University Hospital, Italy; Public Hospital, Italy. METHODS Obese patients underwent symptom questioning, endoscopy, high-resolution impedance manometry, and impedance-pH monitoring, before and 1 year after MGB. Esophageal motor function, EGJ, EGJ-contractile integral, intragastric pressure (IGP), and gastroesophageal pressure gradient were determined. Acid exposure time, number of refluxes, and symptom-association probability were assessed. A group of patients who underwent BII were studied with the same protocol and served as controls. RESULTS Twenty-two MGB and 20 BII patients were studied. After surgery, none of the patients reported de novo heartburn or regurgitation. At endoscopic follow-up, esophagitis and bile findings were absent in all. High-resolution impedance manometry features did not vary significantly after MGB, whereas IGP and gastroesophageal pressure gradient statistically diminished (P < .01). BII patients had significantly lower values in IGP, sphincter pressure, and EGJ-contractile integral. In MGB patients, a marked decrease in number of refluxes (from median 41 to 7, P < .01) was observed, whereas BII patients had statistically significant higher acid exposure and number of refluxes (57, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS In contrast to BII, MGB does not increase any kind of reflux. Also, the differences in IGP and gastroesophageal pressure gradient suggest that bile reflux occurs more readily after BII than after MGB, and that these 2 operations share more differences than similarities.

Abstract
Bile reflux gastritis is a common disease of the digestive system, whose clinical characteristics are abdominal pain, abdominal distention and nausea and vomiting, affecting the quality of life of patients seriously. However, the etiology and pathogenesis of bile reflux gastritis are still unclear, which may be related to gastrointestinal surgery, gallbladder disease, Helicobacter pylori infection, psychological factors, etc. There are many diagnostic methods, but a consensus on diagnosis is still lacking. Most of the current treatments are symptomatic treatments, but the overall efficacy is poor. This article reviews the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of bile reflux gastritis, with an aim to provide a reference for further research of this disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Helicobacter pylori (Hp) are the most common agents causing gastric mucosal injury worldwide. Foveolar hyperplasia is a key component of the stomach's reaction to injury. This study examines histopathologic characteristics associated with Helicobacter pylori and with non- Helicobacter pylori-associated gastropathy in children and adolescents, and compares the prevalence of foveolar hyperplasia among these disease subgroups and normal control subjects. METHODS Eighty-one gastric antral and corpus biopsies from subjects 2-19 years of age were studied. Twenty-two subjects with Helicobacter pylori gastritis were compared to 23 with non-Helicobacter pylori gastropathy and to 36 controls (normal biopsies). Foveolar length, full mucosal thickness, and the foveolar length: full mucosal thickness ratio were derived by a morphometric technique previously developed to analyze adult gastric tissue. RESULTS Compared to controls, Helicobacter pylori gastritis demonstrated significant increases in antral foveolar length (P < .0001), full mucosal thickness (P < .0001), as well as corpus foveolar length (P < .05) and corpus full mucosal thickness (P < .05). Non-Helicobacter pylori-associated gastropathy also was characterized by increased antral foveolar length (P < .0001) and full mucosal thickness (P < .001) but corresponding corpus measurements did not differ from controls. Antral foveolar length in non-Helicobacter pylori gastropathy was increased, when compared to Helicobacter pylori gastritis (P < .05), while corpus values were not. The non-Helicobacter pylori gastropathy group demonstrated increased antral foveolar length: full mucosal thickness ratios, compared with Helicobacter pylori gastritis (P < .001) and with normal controls (P < .0001). DISCUSSION An objective, quantitative approach to measuring foveolar hyperplasia in adults was successfully applied to pediatric biopsies and yielded a richer characterization of gastric pathology in children. Foveolar hyperplasia appears to be a generalized phenomenon in the presence of pediatric Helicobacter pylori gastritis but is limited to the antrum in non-Helicobacter pylori gastropathy.

Abstract
Experimental reproduction of duodeno-gastric reflux was performed among Wistar line 28 rats, which were injected with 50 % solution of medical bile by intragastric way. Morphological study had been shown significant structural changes in the gingival tissues, mucous membrane of an esophagus, stomach and duodenum. In the epithelial layer of gingiva and esophagus was observed numerous infringements in a process of differentiation cells, in the stroma was shown phenomena of fibrosis in a papillary layer, microcirculation disorders. In the gastric mucosa had been found out multiple erosions, the glandular cells were increased. It was demonstrated vacuolization of the basal and thorn layers of the stomach epithelium. In the stroma defined phenomena of fibrosis and a dense lymphocyte infiltration with eosinophils. In the duodenum was determined desquamation of a glandular epithelium, superficial erosions of the villi, lympho–histio–plasmocytosis infiltration in a stroma, microvascular disorders. The given experiment demonstrates a role of functional disorders in the pathogenesis of combined pathology in the upper gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
This retrospective cohort study examined the relationship between a cholecystectomy and the subsequent risk of peptic ulcers using a population-based database. Data for this study were retrieved from the Taiwan Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2005. This study included 5209 patients who had undergone a cholecystectomy for gallstones and 15,627 sex- and age-matched comparison patients. We individually tracked each patient for a 5-year period to identify those who subsequently received a diagnosis of peptic ulcers. We found that of the 20,836 sampled patients, 2033 patients (9.76%) received a diagnosis of peptic ulcers during the 5-year follow-up period: 674 from the study group (12.94% of the patients who underwent a cholecystectomy) and 1359 from the comparison group (8.70% of the comparison patients). The stratified Cox proportional hazard regressions showed that the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for peptic ulcers during the 5-year follow-up period was 1.48 (95% CI = 1.34~1.64) for patients who underwent a cholecystectomy than comparison patients. Furthermore, the adjusted HRs of gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers during the 5-year follow-up period were 1.70 and 1.71, respectively, for patients who underwent a cholecystectomy compared to comparison patients. This study demonstrated a relationship between a cholecystectomy and a subsequent diagnosis of peptic ulcers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND At present, no objective data are available on the effect of omega-loop gastric bypass (OGB) on gastroesophageal junction and reflux. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the possible effects of OGB on esophageal motor function and a possible increase in gastroesophageal reflux. SETTING University Hospital, Italy; Public Hospital, Italy. METHODS Patients underwent clinical assessment for reflux symptoms, and endoscopy plus high-resolution impedance manometry (HRiM) and 24-hour pH-impedance monitoring (MII-pH) before and 1 year after OGB. A group of obese patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy (SG) were included as the control population. RESULTS Fifteen OGB patients were included in the study. After surgery, none of the patients reported de novo heartburn or regurgitation. At endoscopic follow-up 1 year after surgery, esophagitis was absent in all patients and no biliary gastritis or presence of bile was recorded. Manometric features and patterns did not vary significantly after surgery, whereas intragastric pressures (IGP) and gastroesophageal pressure gradient (GEPG) statistically diminished (from a median of 15 to 9.5, P<.01, and from 10.3 to 6.4, P<.01, respectively) after OGB. In contrast, SG induced a significant elevation in both parameters (from a median of 14.8 to 18.8, P<.01, and from 10.1 to 13.1, P<.01, respectively). A dramatic decrease in the number of reflux events (from a median of 41 to 7; P<.01) was observed after OGB, whereas in patients who underwent SG a significant increase in esophageal acid exposure and number of reflux episodes (from a median of 33 to 53; P<.01) was noted. CONCLUSIONS In contrast to SG, OGB did not compromise the gastroesophageal junction function and did not increase gastroesophageal reflux, which was explained by the lack of increased IGP and in GEPG as assessed by HRiM.

Abstract
Mini gastric bypass is a modification of Mason loop gastric bypass with a longer lesser curvature-based pouch. Though it has been around for more than 15 years, its uptake by the bariatric community has been relatively slow, and the procedure has been mired in controversy right from its early days. Lately, there seems to be a surge in the interest in this procedure, and there is now published experience with more than 5,000 procedures globally. This review examines the major controversial aspects of this procedure against the available scientific literature. Surgeons performing this procedure need to be aware of these controversies and counsel their patients appropriately.

Abstract
AIM: To observe the pathologic changes and the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in gastric mucosa of rats with experimental bile reflux gastritis (BRG) and to assess the interventional effects of Liangjun Oral Liquid.
METHODS: Forty rats were divided into four groups: Ⅰ (BRG model), Ⅱ (BRG model treated with Liangjun Oral Liquid 1 mL/kg), Ⅲ (normal rats treated with Liangjun Oral Liquid 1 mL/kg) and Ⅳ (normal controls). BRG was induced using self-made reflux liquid. The changes in the gastric mucosa of rats in each group were observed by optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The expression of COX-2 protein was evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC).
RESULTS: In group Ⅰ, 60% of rats had severe inflammation in the gastric mucosa, 20% had mild atypical hyperplasia, 20% had intestinal metaplasia; 70% had strong COX-2 protein expression. Compared with group Ⅰ, the pathological changes were improved and the expression of COX-2 was decreased (P < 0.05) in group Ⅱ: 20% of rats had severe inflammation in the gastric mucosa, 5% had mild atypical hyperplasia, 5% had intestinal metaplasia; 10% had strong COX-2 protein expression. No pathologic changes were found in the gastric mucosa of rats in groups Ⅲ and Ⅳ, and the expression of COX-2 protein was almost undetectable and there were no significant differences between the two groups.
CONCLUSION: Liangjun Oral Liquid can relieve the gastric mucosal injury in rats with experimental bile reflux gastritis by decreasing the expression of COX-2.

SLĂVESCU KINGACRISTINA, MĂRGESCU CAMELIA, PÎRVAN ALEXANDRU, ŞARBAN COSTICĂ, GHEBAN DAN, MIU NICOLAE. Atrophic gastritis: Helicobacter pylori versus duodenogastric reflux. CLUJUL MEDICAL (1957) 2013; 86:138-43. [PMID: 26527935 PMCID: PMC4462443] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2012] [Revised: 03/04/2013] [Accepted: 04/01/2013] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to asses the prevalence of atrophic gastritis in children. We also wanted to compare the clinical manifestation, endoscopic appearance and the degree of the gastric atrophy in children and to identify the possible causes which determine gastric atrophy. METHODS We evaluated 247 children with chronic gastritis (153 female/94 male, mean age 12.32 years). Atrophy was defined as the loss of normal glandular components, including replacement with fibrosis and/or intestinal metaplasia. RESULTS The prevalence of the atrophic gastritis was 16.6% (41 cases), mean age 11.59+/-1.75 years, male-to-female ratio 16:25. The clinical manifestations were correlated with the patient age (infants and toddlers were evaluated mostly for weight loss - 4 cases, and older children for abdominal pain - 22 cases). The endoscopic appearance was described as either nodular (15 cases), or erythematous gastritis (10 cases), or normal (10 cases). According to the Sydney System, the degree of atrophy was found to be mild in 3 patients, moderate in 25, and severe in 13 patients; 14 cases were associated with duodenogastric reflux, 5 with Helicobacter pylori and 2 with Helicobacter heilmannii infection, but in 17 cases the etiology was unknown. CONCLUSIONS Atrophic gastritis is present in childhood, even at very young ages (infants, toddlers). The endoscopic appearance is not characteristic for the presence of atrophy. The degree of the atrophy is not correlated with the age of the children. Because of the relatively high number of duodenogastric reflux associated with gastric atrophy, further studies need to evaluate the potential causes and clinical course.

Abstract
AIM This study was conducted to evaluate the influence H. pylori infection and anti-CagA status on the efficacy of Omeperazole 20 m.g. b.d. for patients with endoscopic oesophagitis. BACKGROUND The influence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and its virulent strain (cytotoxin-associated gene A: CagA) has not been evaluated on efficacy of treatment for patients with erosive oesophagitis in Iran. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred and ten patients (55 H. Pylori positive and 55 H. Pylori negative) with endoscopic evidence of oeosphagitis were enrolled in this interventional study and treated with Omeprazole 20 m.g. b.d. Healing was assessed at repeat endoscopy after 8 weeks of treatment. H. Pylori infection and anti-CagA-IgG (immunoglobulin G) antibodies were determined for each subject by the rapid urease test, pathological assessment and ELISA. RESULTS At repeat endoscopy, following 8 weeks of Omeprazole 20 m.g. b.d. therapy, endoscopic healing of oesophagitis had occurred in 32 % of the HP +ve patients and 23 % of the HP -ve patients (chi square p < 0.01). Among the HP +ve endoscopic healing occurred resolved in 11 (32.4 %) of the CagA +ve patients and 19 (90.5 %) of the CagA -ve patients. This difference was significant (chi-square p <0.001). CONCLUSION H. pylori infection and the CagA virulence factor are associated with an increased rate of healing amongst patients with endoscopic oesophagitis treated with Omperazole 20 m.g. b.d. compared to patients without H. pylori infection.
