[PMID: 39240314 DOI: 10.1007/s00394-024-03491-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 08/26/2024] [Indexed: 09/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Growing studies have indicated an association between dietary factors and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, whether these associations refer to a causal relationship and the potential mechanism by which dietary factors affect GERD is still unclear. METHODS A two-step mendelian randomization analysis was performed to obtain causal estimates of dietary factors, blood lipids on GERD. Independent genetic variants associated with 13 kinds of dietary factors and 5 kinds of blood lipids at the genome-wide significance level were selected as instrumental variables. The summary statistics for GERD were obtained from European Bioinformatics Institute, including 129,080 cases and 473,524 controls. Inverse variance weighted was utilized as the main statistical method. MR-Egger intercept test, Cochran's Q test, and leave-one-out analysis were performed to evaluate possible heterogeneity and pleiotropy. And the potential reverse causality was assessed using Steiger filtering. RESULTS The results of the inverse variance weighted method indicated that genetically predicted total pork intake (OR = 2.60, 95% CI: 1.21-5.58, p = 0.0143), total bread intake (OR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.46-0.99, p = 0.0497), total cereal intake (OR = 0.42, 95% CI: 0.31-0.56, p = 2.98E-06), and total cheese intake (OR = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.27-0.61, p = 1.06E-05) were associated with the risk of GERD. Multivariable Mendelian randomization analysis also revealed a negative association between total cereal intake, total cheese intake and the risk of GERD, but the effect of total pork intake and total bread intake on GERD disappeared after adjustment of smoking, alcohol consumption, use of calcium channel blockers, BMI, physical activity levels, and biological sex (age adjusted). Furthermore, the concentration of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is negatively correlated with total cheese intake, which mediates the impact of total cheese intake on GERD. The proportion mediated by LDL-C is 2.27% (95%CI: 1.57%, 4.09%). CONCLUSIONS This study provides evidence that an increase in total cereal intake and total cheese intake will decrease the risk of GERD. Additionally, LDL-C mediates the causal effect of total cheese intake on GERD. These results provide new insights into the role of dietary factors and blood lipids in GERD, which is beneficial for disease prevention.

[PMID: 38977497 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-024-10839-2] [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: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the significance of endoscopic grading (Hill's classification) of gastroesophageal flap valve (GEFV) in the examination of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). METHODS One hundred and sixty-two patients undergoing gastroscopy in the Department of Gastroenterology, Xingyi People's Hospital between Apr. 2022 and Sept. 2022 were selected by convenient sampling, and data such as GEFV grade, and findings of esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) and esophageal 24-h pH/impedance reflux monitoring, and Los Angeles (LA) classification of reflux esophagitis (RE) were collected and compared. RESULTS Statistically significant differences in age (F = 9.711, P < 0.001) and hiatal hernia (χ = 35.729, P < 0.001) were observed in patients with different GEFV grades. The resting LES pressures were 12.12 ± 2.79, 10.73 ± 2.68, 9.70 ± 2.29, and 8.20 ± 2.77 mmHg (F = 4.571, P < 0.001) and LES lengths were 3.30 ± 0.70, 3.16 ± 0.68, 2.35 ± 0.83, and 2.45 ± 0.62 (F = 3.789, P = 0.011), respectively, in patients with GEFV grades I-IV. DeMeester score (Z = 5.452, P < 0.001), AET4 (Z = 5.614, P < 0.001), acid reflux score (upright) (Z = 7.452, P < 0.001), weak acid reflux score (upright) (Z = 3.121, P = 0.038), liquid reflux score (upright) (Z = 3.321, P = 0.031), acid reflux score (supine) (Z = 6.462, P < 0.001), mixed reflux score (supine) (Z = 3.324, P = 0.031), gas reflux score (supine) (Z = 3.521, P = 0.024) were different in patients with different GEFV grades, with statistically significant differences. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between RE grade and LA classification of GERD (r = 0.662, P < 0.001), and the severity of RE increased gradually with the increase of the Hill grades of GEFV. CONCLUSION The Hill grade of GEFV is related to age, hiatal hernia, LES pressure, and the consequent development and severity of acid reflux and RE. Evaluation of esophageal motility and reflux based on the Hill grade of GEFV is of significance for the diagnosis and treatment of GERD.

A multi-national survey to identify clinicians' perspectives concerning Proton Pump inhibitors in patients with systemic sclerosis. Semin Arthritis Rheum 2024; 67:152419. [PMID: 38430623 DOI: 10.1016/j.semarthrit.2024.152419] [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: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 01/14/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used in SSc for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, there is little evidence to support their empirical use and long-term safety has been questioned. Our objective was to better describe clinicians' attitudes toward PPIs prescription and use in SSc patients. METHODS Clinicians involved in the care of SSc patients were invited through international physician networks and social media to participate in an online survey. RESULTS Responses from 227 clinicians from 36 countries were evaluable. The majority 'agreed' (41.4 %) or 'strongly agreed' (45.4 %) that GERD is a major cause of morbidity in SSc. Lifestyle modifications are seldom (16 %) considered effective. Only half 'agreed' (43 %) or 'strongly agreed' (11 %) there is solid evidence supporting PPIs efficacy in SSc. The most common reasons for PPIs prescription were symptomatic GERD unresponsive to lifestyle modification (95 %), objective evidence of GERD (82 %), and hoarseness or respiratory symptoms (71 %). There are variable concerns about PPIs long-term safety in SSc. The three highest (mean) reasons (0-10, here 10 is 'very concerned') were: small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (5.5), osteoporosis (5.4), and drug interactions (5.2). There are significant differences in attitudes towards surgery for refractory GERD, and concerns about potential complications. PPIs may have a putative role for disease modification (e.g., ILD and calcinosis), and the role of immunosuppression is uncertain for GI (gastrointestinal) disease in SSc. CONCLUSION PPIs are frequently prescribed in SSc. Side effects are a recognized concern, especially regarding long-term therapy. There is significant variation in attitudes towards surgical intervention. Future research and practical treatment recommendation for PPIs in SSc are urgently needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Generation Z and millennials in Saudi Arabia both experienced the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic and the accompanying factors that may have had an impact on the incidence of functional gastrointestinal diseases (FGIDs) in both generations. This study aims to explore how prevalent FGIDs are among adolescents and their parents. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional, school-based study conducted in public high schools for boys and girls in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. We adapted 37 items from the ROME IV Diagnostic Questionnaires for children and adults, as well as other questionnaires. IBM SPSS Statistics (Version 28.0) was used. RESULTS Generation Z showed a higher prevalence of FGIDs (33.5%, n = 126) in comparison with millennials (20.0%, n = 28). In both generations, the most prevalent FGID was functional constipation; the least prevalent were irritable bowel syndrome and abdominal migraine, with no significant change in the severity or frequency of symptoms during the pandemic. The type of commonly consumed beverages was a risk factor for FGIDs. Participants in generation Z were less likely to use complementary and alternative medicine (67.4%) to prevent diseases and enhance immunity compared with millennials (82.9%). CONCLUSIONS The study results confirmed disparities in the prevalence of FGIDs between the two generations before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, which requires further research in other areas of Saudi Arabia. Recognizing the differences between the millennial parents and the generation Z high schoolers could assist health professionals in planning individualized, generation-based interventions and educators in designing and tailoring programs based on generational differences.

High Obesity Indices Are Associated with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, but Low Obesity Indices Are Associated with Peptic Ulcer Disease in a Large Taiwanese Population Study. Obes Facts 2024:1-11. [PMID: 39008955 DOI: 10.1159/000540281] [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: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcer disease (PUD) are prevalent in Taiwan. Few studies have investigated the associations between obesity indices with GERD and PUD simultaneously. This study aimed to investigate the correlations among obesity indices with GERD and PUD in a large cohort of participants, around 120,000, in the Taiwan Biobank (TWB). METHODS A total of 121,583 participants (male: 43,698; female: 77,885; mean age 49.9 ± 11.0 years) were included to analyze the associations among obesity indices, including body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), body roundness index (BRI), abdominal volume index (AVI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI), and triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index), with GERD and PUD. Self-reported GERD and PUD were obtained by questionnaires. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to analyze the relationship between obesity indices with GERD and PUD. RESULTS The prevalence of GERD and PUD was 13.7% and 14.6%, respectively. After multivariable analysis, high WHR (odds ratio [OR] = 1.009, p < 0.001), WHtR (OR = 1.005, p = 0.003), BRI (OR = 1.022, p = 0.005), AVI (OR = 1.013, p < 0.001), LAP (OR = 1.001, p < 0.001), TyG index (OR = 1.068, p < 0.001), and VAI (OR = 1.013, p = 0.002) were significantly associated with GERD, except BMI (p = 0.384). On the other hand, low BMI (OR = 0.984; p < 0.001) and AVI (OR = 0.994; p = 0.036) were significantly associated with PUD. However, the values of WHR (p = 0.151), WHtR (p = 0.304), BRI (p = 0.452), LAP (p = 0.799), VAI (p = 0.347), and TyG index (p = 0.642) were not. CONCLUSION This study found that high obesity indices are associated with GERD, but low obesity indices are associated with PUD in a large Taiwanese population study. Our findings may alert physicians to notice that different obesity index may be associated with different gastrointestinal disorder.

Abstract
Previous literature has demonstrated that COronaVIrus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) impacts an individual gastrointestinal tract (GIT), causing symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus RNA has been discovered in the stool of infected individuals in earlier research. It was discovered that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus was significantly expressed in the GIT, indicating that the virus can also infect the digestive system. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 functions as the viral receptor. The chronic illness known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is typified by frequent reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus. By triggering the sensitized esophageal-bronchial neuronal circuit or aspirating into the airways (microaspiration), GER exacerbates respiratory diseases. Aspiration is a well-known risk to be considered when treating patients in intensive care units. Strong genetic correlations have been identified between COVID-19 infection and GERD susceptibility, suggesting a shared genetic basis for both conditions. Nonetheless, even though GERD, extraesophageal reflex, and COVID-19 have a number of significant risk factors and exhibit similar symptoms, the relationship between these illnesses has not yet been examined in depth. This review is the first of its kind to critically examine the association between the COVID-19 epidemic and GER and its associated diseases. The key objective of this work is to promote the creation of prevention plans, treatment plans, and guidelines while also enhancing and optimizing our understanding of the relationship between COVID-19 and GERs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic illness affecting the esophagus often modify their eating habits to manage symptoms. Although this begins as a protective strategy, anxiety around eating can become problematic, and lead to poor outcomes. We administered a survey to examine the factors associated with problematic eating behaviors in patients who have reflux and difficulty swallowing (esophageal dysphagia). METHODS In total, 277 adult patients aged above 18 diagnosed with achalasia, eosinophilic esophagitis, and gastroesophageal reflux completed an online survey: (1) demographic and disease information; (2) reflux and dysphagia severity (3) eating behaviors, as measured by a study-specific, modified version of the Eating Disorder Questionnaire (EDE-Q) for patients with esophageal conditions; and (4) Food related quality of life (FRQOL). Descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlations evaluated the sample data and a hierarchical linear regression evaluated predictors of problematic eating behaviors. KEY RESULTS Problematic eating behaviors were associated with reflux severity, dysphagia severity, symptom anxiety, and hypervigilance, and negatively associated with FRQOL. While reflux and dysphagia severity predicted greater problematic eating, symptom anxiety explained more of these behaviors. Although hypervigilance and anxiety also predicted poorer FRQOL, problematic eating was the largest predictor. CONCLUSION & INFERENCES Problematic eating behaviors are associated with increased symptom severity and symptom anxiety, and diminished FRQoL. Symptom anxiety, rather than symptom severity, appears to be a driving factor in problematic eating behaviors. Interventions aimed at diminishing symptom anxiety may be useful in reducing problematic eating behaviors in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pepsin test is an emerging non-invasive diagnostic approach for laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of multiple salivary pepsin tests for detecting LPR. METHODS Patients with suspected LPR and asymptomatic individuals were consecutively recruited from January 2020 to November 2022. Patients benefited from hypopharyngeal-esophageal impedance-pH monitoring (HEMII-pH) and fasting and bedtime saliva collections to measure oral pepsin. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive (PPV) and negative (NPV) predictive values were calculated considering fasting, bedtime, and the highest values of the pepsin tests at ≥16, ≥36, ≥45, and ≥100 ng/mL cutoffs. RESULTS The pepsin test was adequately performed in 147 LPR patients and 32 controls. The pepsin tests were 81.6%, 74.8%, and 61.5% sensitive at cutoffs of ≥16, ≥45, and ≥100 ng/mL, respectively. The PPVs were 93.0%, 94.0%, and 94.8%, respectively. The highest specificity (81.8%) was found for the fasting pepsin test at a cutoff of 100 ng/mL. The highest sensitivity (81.6%) was found by considering the highest measured pepsin test at the ≥16 ng/mL threshold. The measurement of fasting saliva pepsin was associated with the highest sensitivity and specificity value. At ≥16 ng/mL, 27 patients had negative findings, indicating that 18.4% (27/147) of the true positive cases were missed by considering the highest pepsin test. The receiver operating characteristic curve reported that a cutoff of 21.5 was 76.9% sensitive and 62.5% specific, while the PPV and NPV were 91.1% and 38.2%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The consideration of the highest concentration of the fasting and bedtime saliva pepsin collections at a cutoff of 21.5 was associated with the best detection rate and sensitivity of the pepsin tests.

[PMID: 38155708 PMCID: PMC10753795 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2023.1280378] [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: 08/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Aims/hypothesis: The association between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been reported by many observational studies in the Asian population. This study aimed to examine the bidirectional causal effects between GERD and RA by two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses using genetic evidence. Methods: Two-sample Mendelian randomization analyses were performed to determine the causal effect of GERD (129,080 cases vs. 602,604 control participants) on RA (6,236 cases vs. 147,221 control participants) and RA on GERD, respectively. The inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method was used as the primary analysis. Weighted median and MR-Egger regression were taken as supplementary analyses. Cochran's Q test evaluated the heterogeneity. Horizontal pleiotropy was detected by estimating the intercept term of MR-Egger regression. Furthermore, multivariable MR analyses were performed to exclude the influence of confounding factors, including the years of schooling, BMI, and time spent watching television, between GERD and RA. Result: Both univariate MR (UVMR) and multivariable MR (MVMR) provided valid evidence that RA was causally and positively influenced by GERD (UVMR: OR = 1.49, 95% CI = 1.25-1.76, p = 6.18*10-6; MVMR: OR = 1.69, 95% CI = 1.24-2.31, p = 8.62*10-4), whereas GERD was not influenced by RA (UVMR: OR = 1.03, 95% CI = 1.00-1.06, p = 0.042; MVMR: OR = 1.04, 95% CI = 1.00-1.07, p = 0.0271). Conclusion: Our comprehensive bidirectional MR analysis found that for the European population, GERD can induce the occurrence of RA (OR = 1.69, p < 0.00125), whereas RA only has no significant influence on GERD. In particular, patients with GERD are suffering a 69% increased risk of RA occurrence, which means GERD is a substantial risk factor for RA.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a clinical condition with a prevalence of up to 25% in Western countries. Typical GERD symptoms include heartburn and retrosternal regurgitation. Lifestyle modifications, including diet, are considered a first-line therapeutic approach. To evaluate the impact of life habits on GERD in this cross-sectional study, we used data collected through an online survey from 1146 participants. GERD was defined according to the Montreal Consensus. For all participants, clinical and lifestyle characteristics were recorded. Overall, 723 participants (63.1%) consumed a diet including animal food (non-vegans), and 423 participants (36.9%) were vegans. The prevalence of GERD was 11% (CI 95%, 9-14%) in non-vegans and 6% (CI 95%, 4-8%) in vegans. In the multivariate analysis, after adjusting for confounding factors, subjects on a non-vegan diet were associated with a two-fold increase in the prevalence of GERD compared to vegans (OR = 1.96, CI 95%, 1.22-3.17, p = 0.006). BMI and smoking habits were also significantly associated with GERD. This study shows that an animal food-based diet (meat, fish, poultry, dairy, and eggs) is associated with an increased risk of GERD compared to a vegan diet. These findings might inform the lifestyle management of patients with GERD-related symptoms.

Abstract
Today, it is known that the elderly population is increasing rapidly with the quality of life. The United Nations estimate that one in six people will be 65 years or older by 2050. This situation causes interest in the old age period to increase day by day. In parallel with this, studies on the aging process have grown rapidly. Especially the health problems accompanying extended life expectancy and its treatment have become the focus of researchers in recent years. It is a known fact that some sensory and physiological changes in old age affect the quality of oral food intake and food taste. This may lead to inadequate nutritional intake and even rejection of food intake in the elderly. Therefore, severe malnutrition and sarcopenia occur in these individuals, and their life span is shortened. In this review, the effects of aging-related oropharyngeal and esophageal changes and problems on oral food intake will be evaluated. Our increasing knowledge on this subject will contribute to healthcare professionals in the prevention and treatment of health problems such as malnutrition that may occur during the aging process. In this review, a literature search was conducted with the keywords "older" or "elderly" or "geriatrics" and "nutrition" or "malnutrition" and "oropharyngeal functions" or "esophageal functions" in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar electronic databases. KEY TEACHING POINTSSome changes may occur in oropharyngeal and esophageal functions with aging.Sensory and physiological changes in the aging process affect oral food intake and nutritional status.Impairments in oral food intake in elderly individuals can lead to malnutrition and sarcopenia.Age-related changes affecting oral food intake increase the importance of nutritionists with the increase in the elderly population.

Abstract
Objective To explore the risk factors of duodenogastric reflux (DGR) in relation to different dietary habits. Methods A total of 106 patients with symptoms of DGR who underwent electronic gastroscopy from June 2019 to June 2020 were selected and divided into the DGR group (n = 33) and the non-DGR group (n = 73) according to the diagnosis of bile reflux. Questionnaires were used to collect the basic information and dietary habits of the patients, including age, gender, body mass index, place of residence, comorbidities, dietary composition, salt intake, smoking and drinking consumption. The total bile acid (TBA) and cholesterol (CHO) of the gastric juice were measured using a fully automated biochemical analyser, with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay used for the serum cholecystokinin, gastrin and gastrin levels. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to predict the attendant DGR risk factors. Results There was no significant difference in age or gender between the DGR and the non-DGR groups (P > 0.05). The proportion of patients living in the Bashang region was significantly higher in the DGR group (78.79%) than in the non-DGR group (38.36%) (P < 0.05). The levels of TBA and CHO in the gastric juice and the cholecystokinin and gastrin levels in the serum of the DGR group were higher than those in the non-DGR group, while the serum motilin levels were significantly lower in the DGR group than in the non-DGR group (P < 0.05). The univariate analysis indicated that the proportion of patients with daily consumption of dairy products and fried foods, a high salt intake and smoking and drinking consumption were significantly higher in the DGR than in the non-DGR group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The daily consumption of dairy products and a preference for fried food are independent risk factors for the occurrence of DGR (odds ratio ≥ 1, P < 0.05).

Abstract
Introduction Shift work has become an increasingly common work mode globally. This study aimed to investigate the association between shift work and the risk of incident gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD), an upward gastrointestinal disorder disease worldwide, and to explore the mediating factors. Method A total of 262,722 participants from the UK Biobank free of GORD and related gastrointestinal diseases were included to investigate the association and potential mediators between shift work and incident GORD. Multivariate-adjusted Cox models were used to evaluate the association between shift work status and GORD incidence. Results Compared to non-shift workers, shift workers had a 1.10-fold greater risk of incident GORD [95% confidence intervals (CIs): 1.03, 1.18], after adjusting for a range of potential confounders. However, the excess risk of GORD attenuated to the null after further adjusting for selected mediators. Specifically, the association was mediated by sleep patterns (25.7%), healthy behaviors (16.8%), depressive symptoms (20.2%), chronic conditions (13.3%), and biological factors (17.6%). After adjustment for all the mediators together, the association was attenuated by 71.5%. Discussion Our findings indicated that long-term shift workers may have a higher risk of incident GORD, yet the excess risk may be explained by poor sleep quality, unhealthy behaviors, depressive symptoms, etc. This has positive implications for protecting the health of shift workers.

Abstract
The global prevalence of GERD is substantially increasing each year, and GERD is a chronic disease that reduces the quality of life of patients. The efficacy of conventional drugs is diverse, and most require long-term or lifetime administration; thus, the development of more effective therapeutic agents is needed. Herein, a more effective treatment for GERD was tested. We investigated whether JP-1366 affected gastric H+/K+-ATPase activity and used the Na+/K+-ATPase assay to confirm the selectivity of H+/K+-ATPase inhibition. To clarify the mechanism of enzyme inhibition, JP-1366 and TAK-438 were analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk. Also, we investigated the effects of JP-1366 in various models involving reflux esophagitis. We found that JP-1366 mediates strong, selective, and dose-dependent inhibition of H+/K+-ATPase. We found that JP-1366 significantly suppressed gastric acid secretion in histamine-treated pylorus-ligated rats in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, we confirmed that JP-1366 inhibited histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion in the HPD model. JP-1366 exhibited a more than 2-fold higher inhibitory effect on esophageal injury than TAK-438 in GERD lesions and had a more potent inhibitory effect in indomethacin- or aspirin-induced gastric ulcer rat models than TAK-438. Additionally, JP-1366 inhibited gastric ulcers. These results support the possibility that JP-1366 is a good candidate drug for treating acid-related diseases.

Abstract
Background Predicting the duration of dysphagia after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is important for clinical treatment decisions. Objective The purpose of this study is to assess the swallowing function of AIS patients and to develop and validate a prognostic model for the need for nasogastric tube (NGT) in these patients. Materials and methods We included 554 AIS patients during 2018–2019 as the development group and had 186 AIS patients as the external validation group. The primary end point of the study was the retention of NGT in patients 1 week after admission (Functional Oral Intake Scale ≤ 4). Swallowing function and stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) at 1 month post-onset were also the objectives of this study. The volume-viscosity swallow test (V-VST) was used to assess the patient’s impaired swallowing function. The Predictive model was built by logistic regression. Results Overall, a total of 104 patients required indwelling NGT at 1 week of AIS onset in development group. The final prognostic model includes 5 variables: age (OR: 1.085, 95%CI: 1.049–1.123), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (OR: 1.332, 95%CI: 1.090–1.626), NIHSS (OR: 1.092, 95%CI: 1.025–1.164), history of drinking (OR: 2.532, 95%CI: 1.452–4.417) and stroke location (Subtentorial vs. Supratentorial, OR: 1.954, 95%CI: 1.088–3.509). The prediction model had an AUC of 0.810, while the external validation group was 0.794. Conclusion In stroke patients, it is very important to decide early whether to indwell a NGT. The nomogram will support decision making for NGT insertion and help these patients recover from their condition.

Abstract
Refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (rGERD) is a common clinical disease with many pathogenic factors, complex mechanisms, and increasing incidence. At present, scholars believe that the pathogenesis of rGERD is closely related to intra- and extra-esophageal factors. Elucidating the mechanism of rGERD can contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. This paper summarizes the current progress in the research of the pathogenesis of rGERD, and puts forward our own thoughts and prospects for the disease, in order to provide ideas for the in-depth study of the pathogenesis of rGERD.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common causes of health care seeking at the primary care level in many countries. At an epidemiological level, GERD has been shown to be associated with a number of risk factors: obesity, tobacco smoking, alcohol abuse, certain patterns of eating behaviour, and the use of several medications. GERD is now regarded as a heterogeneous disease and includes different phenotypes (erosive reflux disease, non-erosive reflux disease, hypersensitive oesophagus, functional heartburn), the proper diagnosis of which improves the effectiveness of therapy in patients with heartburn symptoms. Daily impedance–pH monitoring is known to be an integral part of the diagnostic algorithm for GERD and is a functional diagnostic method to record all types of refluxes entering the oesophagus regardless of pH, to assess their association with symptoms, and to determine whether patients with heartburn symptoms belong to a particular phenotype. Esophageal manometry plays a key role in the evaluation of patients with heartburn symptoms, as it helps to rule out other conditions that may mimic GERD: achalasia cardia and scleroderma esophagus. This technique is used to assess thoracic esophageal motility and sphincter function and in the assessment of patients prior to antireflux surgery or in the refractory course of GERD. The article describes in detail GERD risk factors (triggers of heartburn), as well as diagnostic aspects, taking into account a differentiated approach to patients with heartburn based on daily impedance–pH monitoring data in accordance with the current guidelines and recommendations.

Chen Y, Chen C, Ouyang Z, Duan C, Liu J, Hou X, Bai T. Prevalence and beverage-related risk factors of gastroesophageal reflux disease: An original study in Chinese college freshmen, a systemic review and meta-analysis. Neurogastroenterol Motil 2022; 34:e14266. [PMID: 34585480 DOI: 10.1111/nmo.14266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2021] [Revised: 08/06/2021] [Accepted: 08/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Beverage-drinking behavior could be a potential risk factor for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in young populations. However, GERD prevalence in this population has not been investigated, and beverage consumption's association with GERD remains inconclusive. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and beverage-related risk factors of GERD among Chinese college freshmen and in youth around the world. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Chinese college freshmen in September 2019 using random cluster sampling method. Participants completed questionnaires on demographic information, food intake frequency, and GER symptoms. Multivariate logistic regression models were applied to assess the association between beverages and GERD. Studies were retrieved from multiple databases for systemic review. The prevalence of GERD in young populations and beverage-related risk factors were pooled using random-effect models. KEY RESULTS Based on the 3345 individuals who completed the questionnaires, GERD prevalence in Chinese college freshmen is 5.1%. Multivariate analysis showed students who drink green tea daily, and those who drink coffee regularly were more likely to develop GERD compared with those who never drink tea or coffee. The pooled prevalence of GERD in young populations is 18.0%, and frequent alcohol consumption is positively associated with GERD in general population. CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES The prevalence of GERD in Chinese college freshmen is significantly lower than that in worldwide youth populations. Alcohol, green tea, and coffee consumption could be potential risk factors for GERD. Future large-scale epidemiological studies are warranted for reliable identification of beverage-related risk factors for GERD in young populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Time restricted feeding (TRF) involves deliberately restricting the times during which energy is ingested. Preliminary findings suggest that 8-10-h TRF improves sleep. However, the effects of shorter TRF windows (4-6 h) on sleep, remain unknown. AIMS This study compared the effects of 4-h versus 6-h TRF on sleep quality, duration, insomnia severity and the risk of obstructive sleep apnea. METHODS Adults with obesity (n = 49) were randomized into one of three groups: 4-h TRF (eating only between 3 and 7 p.m.), 6-h TRF (eating only between 1 and 7 p.m.), or a control group (no meal timing restrictions) for 8 weeks. RESULTS After 8 weeks, body weight decreased (p < 0.001) similarly by 4-h TRF (-3.9 ± 0.4 kg) and 6-h TRF (-3.4 ± 0.4 kg), versus controls. Sleep quality, measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), did not change by 4-h TRF (baseline: 5.9 ± 0.7; week 8: 4.8 ± 0.6) or 6-h TRF (baseline: 6.4 ± 0.8; week 8: 5.3 ± 0.9), versus controls. Wake time, bedtime, sleep duration and sleep onset latency also remained unchanged. Insomnia severity did not change by 4-h TRF (baseline: 4.4 ± 1.0; week 8: 4.7 ± 0.9) or 6-h TRF (baseline: 8.3 ± 1.2; week 8: 5.5 ± 1.1), versus controls. Percent of participants reporting obstructive sleep apnea symptoms did not change by 4-h TRF (baseline: 44%; week 8: 25%) or 6-h TRF (baseline: 47%; week 8: 20%), versus controls. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that 4- and 6-h TRF have no effect on sleep quality, duration, insomnia severity, or the risk of obstructive sleep apnea.

Abstract
The objective of the present research was to review the state of the art on the consequences of drinking coffee at the different levels of the gastrointestinal tract. At some steps of the digestive process, the effects of coffee consumption seem rather clear. This is the case for the stimulation of gastric acid secretion, the stimulation of biliary and pancreatic secretion, the reduction of gallstone risk, the stimulation of colic motility, and changes in the composition of gut microbiota. Other aspects are still controversial, such as the possibility for coffee to affect gastro-esophageal reflux, peptic ulcers, and intestinal inflammatory diseases. This review also includes a brief summary on the lack of association between coffee consumption and cancer of the different digestive organs, and points to the powerful protective effect of coffee against the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. This review reports the available evidence on different topics and identifies the areas that would most benefit from additional studies.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common gastrointestinal illness with symptoms of heartburn, chest pain, and regurgitation. Management of GERD can involve medication use, lifestyle modification (eg, dietary modification), and surgical intervention depending on the individual patient and disease severity. Poor adherence to medication and recommended lifestyle changes may result in increased symptom severity and decreased quality of life. This paper aimed to systematically review the literature on lifestyle modification for the management of GERD. Fourteen articles were included based on search criteria. Following review and analysis, three types of lifestyle modifications were present in the literature and include medication use, dietary recommendations, and sleep recommendations. Despite being a pharmacological treatment, medication adherence was included in the review, as health behavior change can be used to improve adherence. Overall, the factors associated with adherence to modifications varied in terms of impact and directionality, depending on the type of lifestyle modification. Symptom severity emerged as important across all lifestyle modifications, and is associated with increased adherence to medication use, but decreased adherence to dietary guidelines. While patient-provider communication appeared to improve patient knowledge, it is unclear if increased knowledge translates to improved adherence. The review also demonstrated a lack of clear and standardized guidelines across lifestyle modifications, which may have an influence on adherence and adherence reporting. Future research in GERD treatment adherence would benefit from the use of validated measures to assess adherence. Specific recommendations to improving patient adherence are discussed.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic condition which has a high global prevalence. Dietary intake is considered to be a contributing factor for GERD. However, scientific evidence about the effect of diet on the risk of GERD is controversial. This systematic review was conducted to address this issue. A comprehensive structured search was performed using the MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science databases up to August 2020, in accordance with the PRISMA statement. No restrictions were set in terms of language, time of publication, or study location. Study selection and data abstraction was conducted independently by two authors, and risk of bias was assessed using a modified Quality in Prognosis Studies Tool. Eligible studies evaluating the impact of food and dietary pattern on GERD were included in qualitative data synthesis. After excluding duplicate, irrelevant, and low quality studies, 25 studies were identified for inclusion: 5 case-control studies, 14 cross-sectional studies, and 6 prospective studies. This review indicates that high-fat diets, carbonated beverages, citrus products, and spicy, salty, and fried foods are associated with risk of GERD.

Abstract
Anethum graveolens L. (dill seeds) are important medicinal and functional foods in Europe and central and south Asia, often used as a seasoning in daily diets. Anethum graveolens L. seeds (AGS) are used to treat indigestion and have shown physiological activities such as those against hypoglycemia and gastroesophageal disease. This study explored the protective effects of AGS extract on mucosal damages and inflammation in reflux esophagitis rats. AGS inhibited cellular inflammation including NO production and the expression of inflammatory proteins (iNOS and COX2 etc.), cytokines (IL-1β and TNF-α) and nuclear transfer factor related to NF-κB signaling caused by LPS stimulation in vitro. Furthermore, reflux esophagitis-induced rats were used to observe the anti-inflammatory effect of AGS. Tissue staining and inflammation-related protein expression of rats with acute reflux esophagitis indicated that AGS improved this inflammatory response, such as COX-2 and TNF-α in mucosa. In conclusion, AGS have good physiological activity and the possibility of being used as a medicinal food and a functional resource for the prevention and therapy of gastroesophageal diseases.

Abstract
This review aims to summarize the effects of intermittent fasting on markers of cardiometabolic health in humans. All forms of fasting reviewed here-alternate-day fasting (ADF), the 5:2 diet, and time-restricted eating (TRE)-produced mild to moderate weight loss (1-8% from baseline) and consistent reductions in energy intake (10-30% from baseline). These regimens may benefit cardiometabolic health by decreasing blood pressure, insulin resistance, and oxidative stress. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels are also lowered, but findings are variable. Other health benefits, such as improved appetite regulation and favorable changes in the diversity of the gut microbiome, have also been demonstrated, but evidence for these effects is limited. Intermittent fasting is generally safe and does not result in energy level disturbances or increased disordered eating behaviors. In summary, intermittent fasting is a safe diet therapy that can produce clinically significant weight loss (>5%) and improve several markers of metabolic health in individuals with obesity.

Abstract
This review examines the effects of two popular intermittent fasting regimens on sleep in adults with overweight and obesity. Specifically, the effects of time restricted eating (TRE; eating all food within a 4-10 h window) and alternate day fasting (ADF; 600 kcal fast day alternated with ad libitum feast day) on sleep quality, sleep duration, sleep latency, sleep efficiency, insomnia severity, and risk of obstructive sleep apnea, will be summarized. The role of weight loss will also be discussed. Results from our review reveal that the majority of these trials produced weight loss in the range of 1-6% from baseline. Sleep quality and sleep duration remained unaltered with TRE and ADF, as assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The effects of intermittent fasting on sleep latency and sleep efficiency are mixed, with one study showing worsening of these parameters, and others showing no effect. Insomnia severity and the risk of obstructive sleep apnea remained unchanged in the trials assessing these metrics. Taken together, these preliminary findings suggest that TRE and ADF produce mild to moderate weight loss (1-6%) but their effects on sleep remain unclear. Solid conclusions are difficult to establish since participants in the studies had healthy sleep durations and no clinical insomnia at baseline, leaving little room for improvement in these metrics. Moreover, none of the trials were adequately powered to detect statistically significant changes in any measure of sleep. Future well-powered trials, conducted in individuals with diagnosed sleep disturbances, will be necessary to elucidate the effect of these popular diets on sleep.

Abstract
AIM Hospital food provision is subject to multiple constraints (meal production, organization, health safety, environmental respect) which influence the meal tray offered to the patient. Multiple diets can add complexity and contribute to non-consumption of the meal. To avoid undernutrition, it appeared necessary to propose guidelines for foods and diets in hospitals. METHODS These guidelines were developed using the Delphi method, as recommended by the HAS (French Health Authority), based on a formal consensus of experts and led by a group of practitioners and dieticians from the AFDN (French Association of Nutritionist Dieticians) and SFNCM (French Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism). RESULTS Twenty-three recommendations were deemed appropriate and validated by a panel of 50 national experts, following three rounds of consultations, modifications and final strong agreement. These recommendations aim to define in adults: 1-harmonized vocabulary related to food and diets in hospitals; 2-quantitative and qualitative food propositions; 3-nutritional prescriptions; 4-diet patterns and patient adaptations; 5-streamlining of restrictions to reduce unnecessary diets and without scientific evidence; 6-emphasizing the place of an enriched and adapted diet for at-risk and malnourished patients. CONCLUSION These guidelines will enable catering services and health-care teams to rationalize hospital food and therapeutic food prescriptions in order to focus on individual needs and tasty foods. All efforts should be made to create meals that follow these recommendations while promoting the taste quality of the dishes and their presentation such that the patient rediscovers the pleasure of eating in the hospital.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between aliments and pathophysiological abnormalities leading to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms elicitation is unclear. Nevertheless, patients often report symptoms after ingestion of specific foods. AIMS To identify in primary care setting the presence of foods able to trigger GERD symptoms, and evaluate whether a consequent specific food elimination diet may result in clinical improvement. METHODS Diagnosis of GERD and quantification of reflux symptoms were done according to GERD-Q questionnaire (positive when > 8). During clinical data collection, patients were asked to report aliments associated with their symptoms. Also, a precompiled list of additional foods was administered to them. Then, patients were requested to eliminate the specific foods identified, and to come back for follow-up visit after 2 weeks when GERD-Q questionnaire and clinical data collection were repeated. RESULTS One-hundred GERD (mean GERD-Q score 11.6) patients (54 females, mean age 48.7 years) were enrolled. Eighty-five patients reported at least one triggering food, mostly spicy foods (62%), chocolate (55%), pizza (55%), tomato (52%), and fried foods (52%). At follow-up visit, the diagnosis of GERD was confirmed in only 55 patients, and the mean GERD-Q score decreased to 8.9. Heartburn reporting decreased from 93 to 44% of patients, while regurgitation decreased from 72 to 28%. About half of the patients agreed to continue with only dietary recommendations. CONCLUSIONS Most patients with GERD can identify at least one food triggering their symptoms. An approach based on abstention from identified food may be effective in the short term.

Zhang M, Hou ZK, Huang ZB, Chen XL, Liu FB. Dietary and Lifestyle Factors Related to Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: A Systematic Review. Ther Clin Risk Manag 2021; 17:305-323. [PMID: 33883899 PMCID: PMC8055252 DOI: 10.2147/tcrm.s296680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2020] [Accepted: 03/17/2021] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
We performed this review to clarify which dietary and lifestyle factors are related to gastroesophageal reflux disease. Through a systematic search of the PubMed, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Chinese BioMedical Literature (CBM) databases, we identified articles with clear definitions of GERD, including nonerosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (NERD), reflux esophagitis (RE) and Barrett’s esophagus (BE), that included dietary and lifestyle factors as independent factors affecting the onset of GERD (expressed as odds ratios (ORs) or relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs)). Due to heterogeneity among the studies, we used descriptive statistical analyses to analyze and synthesize each outcome based on the disease type. In total, 72 articles were included, conducted in ten Western countries (26 articles in total) and nine Eastern countries (46 articles in total). We categorized dietary factors into 20 items and lifestyle factors into 11 items. GERD is related to many irregular dietary and lifestyle habits (such as a habit of midnight snacking: OR=5.08, 95% CI 4.03–6.4; skipping breakfast: OR=2.7, 95% CI 2.17–3.35; eating quickly: OR=4.06, 95% CI 3.11–5.29; eating very hot foods: OR=1.81, 95% CI 1.37–2.4; and eating beyond fullness: OR=2.85, 95% CI 2.18–3.73). Vegetarian diets (consumption of nonvegetarian food (no/yes); OR=0.34, 95% CI 0.211–0.545) and no intake of meat (OR=0.841, 95% CI 0.715–0.990) were negatively related to GERD, while meat (daily meat, fish, and egg intake: OR=1.088, 95% CI 1.042-1.135) and fat (high–fat diet: OR=7.568, 95% CI 4.557–8.908) consumption were positively related to GERD. An interval of less than three hours between dinner and bedtime (OR=7.45, 95% CI 3.38–16.4) was positively related to GERD, and proper physical exercise (physical exercise >30 minutes (>3 times/week): OR=0.7, 95% CI 0.6–0.9) was negatively correlated with GERD. Smoking (OR=1.19, 95% CI 1.12–1.264), alcohol consumption (OR=1.278, 95% CI 1.207–1.353) and mental state (poor mental state: OR=1.278, 95% CI 1.207–1.353) were positively correlated with GERD. RE (vitamin C: OR=0.46, 95% CI=0.24–0.90) and BE (vitamin C: OR=0.44,95% CI 0.2-0.98; vitamin E: OR=0.46, 95% CI 0.26–0.83) were generally negatively correlated with antioxidant intake. In conclusion, many dietary and lifestyle factors affect the onset of GERD, and these factors differ among regions and disease types. These findings need to be further confirmed in subsequent studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a public health issue for its prevalence and association with low life quality and substantial costs. Since most of Italian data refer to over a decade ago, the aim was to provide an updated estimate of GERD symptoms prevalence. Knowledge about appropriate nutrition and behaviours in presence of GERD was assessed. Predictors for symptoms presence and knowledge were explored. METHODS This study was an online cross-sectional survey that investigated socio-demographics, knowledge about nutrition/behaviours in case of GERD (Knowledge Score KS: percentage of right answers), nutrition/lifestyle attitudes. The questionnaire included the GerdQ to assess symptoms (presence if score ≥8). Adults resident in Italy were enrolled between June and August 2019 through convenience sampling on the major social networks (sample size = 559). Descriptive analyses were run. Multivariable regressions were performed to explore predictors of symptoms presence and KS. RESULTS The 27.7% had GERD symptoms. Among them, 33.8% never received GERD information by their general practitioner (GP). Body mass index (P = .036), secondary education (P = .040) were associated with higher symptoms risk. Weekly exercise was associated with lower risk (P < .001). Median KS was 92% (IQR = 12). Sleeping on the left side, chocolate, citrus fruit, mint reported the lowest right answers percentages. None/basic education was negatively associated with KS (P < .001), being female (P = .004) and in a relationship (P = .012) positively. CONCLUSIONS A high prevalence was reported, consistently with the worldwide increasing trend. Despite overall knowledge was high, specific gaps were found. GPs should improve communication and awareness campaigns targeted to less known aspects must be planned.

Abstract
Individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and reflux frequently experience gastrointestinal symptoms (GIS), potentially enhanced by high-intensity running. Food avoidances, food choices, and GIS in runners with IBS/IBD (n = 53) and reflux (n = 37) were evaluated using a reliability and validity tested questionnaire. Comparisons to a control group of runners (n = 375) were made using a Fisher’s Exact test. Runners with IBS/IBD experienced the greatest amount of exercise-induced GIS followed by those with reflux. Commonly reported GIS were stomach pain/cramps (77%; 53%), bloating (52%; 50%), intestinal pain/cramps (58%; 33%), and diarrhea (58%; 39%) in IBS/IBD and reflux groups respectively. In the pre-race meal, those with IBS/IBD frequently avoided milk products (53%), legumes (37%), and meat (31%); whereas, runners with reflux avoided milk (38%), meat (36%), and high-fibre foods (33%). When considering food choices pre-race, runners with IBS/IBD chose grains containing gluten (40%), high fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharides and polyols (FODMAP) fruits (38%), and water (38%). Runners with reflux chose water (51%), grains containing gluten (37%), and eggs (31%). In conclusion, while many runners with IBS/IBD and reflux are avoiding trigger foods in their pre-race meals, they are also consuming potentially aggravating foods, suggesting nutrition advice may be warranted.

Abstract
Foods and beverages provide nutrients and alter the gut microbiota, resulting in eubiosis or dysbiosis. Chronic consumption of a diet that is high in saturated or trans fats, meat proteins, reducing sugars, and salt and low in fiber induces dysbiosis. Dysbiosis, loss of redox homeostasis, mast cells, hypoxia, angiogenesis, the kynurenine pathway, transglutaminase 2, and/or the Janus kinase pathway are implicated in the pathogenesis and development of inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, and gastrointestinal malignancy. This review discusses the effects of oxidative, carbonyl, or glycative stress-inducing dietary ingredients or food processing-derived compounds on gut microbiota and gastrointestinal epithelial and mast cells as well as on the development of associated angiogenic diseases, including key signaling pathways. The preventive or therapeutic potential and the biochemical pathways of antiangiogenic or proangiogenic foods or beverages are also described. The outcomes of the interactions between disease pathways and components of food are critical for the design of foods and beverages for healthy lives.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic, progressive condition, and its prevalence is increasing worldwide. The risk factors for GERD are complex and the pathogenesis of GERD has not been fully elucidated. As acid-suppressive drugs, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly used to treat GERD; after being metabolized by CYP2C19 in the human liver, the blood concentration of PPIs gradually decreases. Previous studies have shown that CYP2C19 gene polymorphism leads to considerable individual differences of PPIs in terms of metabolic rate and efficacy.
AIM To identify potential variations in CYP2C19 promoter from patients (normal metabolizers, NMs, *1/*1) with GERD, verify the activity of promoter with variations in HEK 293T, and analyze the correlation between variations in CYP2C19 promoter and PPI treatment effect for GERD in the Chinese population.
METHODS A total of 163 patients with sporadic GERD were collected. After diagnostic treatment with PPIs, the symptom score decreased by 50%, but the symptoms did not completely disappear in the study group (n = 82). In the control group (n = 81), the symptoms completely disappeared after treatment. The CYP2C19 genotype of all patients was detected as *1/*1. The PCR and Sanger sequencing were used to identify variations in the CYP2C19 promoter. The luciferase activities of pGL3 basic-CYP2C19 promoters with or without variation were detected by dual-luciferase assay.
RESULTS Three novel heterozygous variations were identified in the CYP2C19 gene promoters isolated from three NM patients with GERD: g.94761364 T>A, g.94762112 T>A, and g.94762514 G>T. Compared to the wild type, the transcriptional activity of the CYP2C19 promoter with g.94761364 T>A was significantly increased (P = 0.034).
CONCLUSION The transcriptional activity of the CYP2C19 promoter is significantly increased in the presence of g.94761364 T>A, which may further affect the metabolism and blood concentration of PPIs. This finding provides a new insight for the medication and treatment of GERD patients in the Chinese population.

Abstract
Background: We investigated the efficacy of esomeprazole for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in a meta-analysis of clinical trials results. Methods: Medline, Embase, PubMed and Web of Science databases were systematically searched for suitable studies, and double-blind, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were involved. A meta-analysis of RCTs was performed to analyze the efficacy of esomeprazole on clinical outcomes that associated with the severity of GERD. Results: A total of 8 clinical trials were selected in our meta-analysis (N=4495, patients with GERD). Esomeprazole treatment yielded a significant improvement in clinical signs and symptoms of GERD compared to placebo group. Funnel plot and Egger test showed there was no significant bias in the publication. Cochrane collaboration tool and Jadad scale were used to indicate that all 8 RCTs were of high quality. The results of Galbraith radial plot showed that no study was the major source of heterogeneity. Esomeprazole treatment significantly decreased the relapse rates more than that of placebo group (RR = 0.729; 95% CI: 0.670 to 0.794; P<0.001). It seems to be lower rates of heartburn (RR = 0.747; 95%CI: 0.665–0.839; P <0.001) and epigastric pain (RR = 0.795; 95%CI: 0.679–0.932; P =0.005) in esomeprazole-treated group compared with the placebo group. Moreover, serious adverse events was less likely to happen after esomeprazole therapy (RR = 1.406, 95% CI: 1.030–1.918; P =0.032). Conclusion: Compared with the control group, esomeprazole is a promising therapeutic agent that improves the management of patients with GERD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is frequently seen in patients with adenotonsillar hypertrophy. However, the sequential association between GER and adenotonsillar hypertrophy is unknown. This leads to unpredictable outcomes while treating patients of adenotonsillar hypertrophy with GER. The objective of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of GER and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in paediatric patients with obstructive adenotonsillar hypertrophy (OATH), and to assess the effect of adenotonsillectomy (AT) on GER as well as GERD. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, consecutive pediatric patients with grade III/IV hypertrophy of adenoid or/and tonsillar tissue who were planned for AT were recruited after excluding comorbidities predisposing to GER. Symptoms of GERD using Gastro Esophageal Reflux Questionnaire for Young Children (GERQ-YC) and Reflux Indices (RI) obtained from 24-h ambulatory esophageal pH monitoring were evaluated in all patients pre-operatively and 12 weeks following AT. RESULTS A total of 49 patients with OATH with average age of 6 years were included in this study. With a RI of >4.3% as the threshold for making the diagnosis of GER on esophageal pH monitoring, the prevalence of GER was 20.4%. The average RI preoperatively was 15.7% which reduced to 1.7% following AT (p = 0.004). Among the 10 patients with preoperative GER, 80% of the patients had no evidence of GER after surgery. New incidences of GER was not observed post operatively in this cohort. As per the GER symptom scoring system, 31% of the parents reported GERD pre-operatively which resolved completely in all patients following surgery. CONCLUSIONS - In this study, the prevalence of GER proven by 24 h ambulatory esophageal pH monitoring is 20% in pediatric patients with OATH. Following AT, GER resolved in 80% of cases and was reduced substantially in the remaining cases in the subset of patients with pre-operative GER. The symptoms of GERD based on parents' recall of child's previous symptoms may not accurately represent presence of GER. Our results suggest that OATH can result in GER due to increased negative intra-thoracic pressure as a result of breathing against an obstructed upper airway and hence, GER subsides following surgical removal of the obstructive pathology. To establish this concatenational association of OATH and GER, larger studies are mandated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a highly prevalent disease of the upper gastrointestinal tract, and it is associated with environmental and lifestyle habits. Due to an increasing interest in the environment, several groups are studying the effects of meteorological factors and air pollutants (MFAPs) on disease development.
AIM To identify MFAPs effect on GERD-related medical utilization.
METHODS Data on GERD-related medical utilization from 2002 to 2017 were obtained from the National Health Insurance Service of Korea, while those on MFAPs were obtained from eight metropolitan areas and merged. In total, 20071900 instances of GERD-related medical utilizations were identified, and 200000 MFAPs were randomly selected from the eight metropolitan areas. Data were analyzed using a multivariable generalized additive Poisson regression model to control for time trends, seasonality, and day of the week.
RESULTS Five MFAPs were selected for the prediction model. GERD-related medical utilization increased with the levels of particulate matter with a diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5) and carbon monoxide (CO). S-shaped and inverted U-shaped changes were observed in average temperature and air pollutants, respectively. The time lag of each variable was significant around nine days after exposure.
CONCLUSION Using five MFAPs, the final model significantly predicted GERD-related medical utilization. In particular, PM2.5 and CO were identified as risk or aggravating factors for GERD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The timing of protein intake over the day on muscle mass and strength gains have received interest in the literature. Thus, the aim of this systematic review is to analyze clinical studies that evaluated the acute effects of pre-sleep protein consumption on overnight muscle protein synthesis and the chronic effects on muscle mass and strength. DESIGNS Systematic review. METHODS A literature search was conducted up to June 2020 according to PRISMA statement and nine articles were included to analyze. RESULTS The consumption of 20-40 g of casein approximately 30 min before sleep stimulates whole-body protein synthesis rates over a subsequent overnight period in young and elderly men (preceded or not by resistance exercise, respectively). In addition, pre-sleep protein consumption can augment the muscle adaptive response (muscle fiber cross-sectional area, strength and muscle mass) during 10-12 weeks of resistance exercise in young, but not in elderly men. CONCLUSIONS Based on current evidence, the consumption of 20-40 g of casein approximately 30 min before sleep improves protein synthetic response during an overnight recovery period in healthy young adult men, with possible positive effects on muscle mass and strength following prolonged resistance exercise. In elderly, despite the initial evidence regarding the pre-sleep protein enhances overnight muscle protein synthesis rates, the current available evidence is limited precluding to conclude about the chronic effects on skeletal muscle mass or strength. These conclusions need to be taken with caution due to uneven protein intakes between experimental groups. Therefore, more data are needed before further considering pre-sleep protein as an effective nutritional intervention.

Abstract
Inflammation may play contradictory roles in the pathogenesis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): gastritis decreases gastric output and reduces the risk of esophagitis, while interleukins may favor mucosal inflammation. The inflammation may cause esogastric motility changes and thus increase the risk of esophagitis. Considering the genetic influence of inflammatory response, we looked for the genetic polymorphisms of IL-1 in GERD manifested as reflux esophagitis. This is a prospective study carried out in GERD and healthy controls. We assessed in these groups the following single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): IL-1A (rs1800587), IL-1B (rs16944), IL-1B (rs1143634) and the VNTR for IL-1RN. Both groups were similar according to biographical data. Reflux esophagitis was confirmed by endoscopy and where necessary by pH-impedance monitoring. Reflux esophagitis was associated only with the polymorphism rs16944. No other correlations with the other three genetic polymorphisms were detected. These data suggest that the diverging effects of proinflammatory factors on the upper digestive tract may have deleterious effect on GERD. The IL-1B (rs16944) SNP correlates with reflux esophagitis.

Association of Symptoms with Eating Habits and Food Preferences in Chronic Gastritis Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2020; 2020:5197201. [PMID: 32695209 PMCID: PMC7368216 DOI: 10.1155/2020/5197201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2020] [Revised: 05/27/2020] [Accepted: 06/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Purpose There is a lack of research on the relationship between symptoms and dietary factors of chronic gastritis (CG) patients, and the contribution of dietary management in relieving symptoms of CG patients has not attracted enough attention. This study aimed to identify the associations between different symptoms and dietary factors. Patients and Methods. All CG patients in this cross-sectional study were recruited from 3 hospitals in Beijing, China, from October 2015 to January 2016. Association Rule Mining analysis was performed to identify the correlations between gastrointestinal symptoms and dietary factors (including eating habits and food preferences), and subgroup analysis focused on gender differences. Results The majority of patients (58.17%) reported that their symptoms were related to dietary factors. About 53% reported that they had the habit of “eating too fast,” followed by “irregular mealtimes” (29.66%) and “eating leftover food” (28.14%). Sweets (27.57%), spicy foods (25.10%), and meat (24.33%) were the most popular among all participants. Stomachache and gastric distention were the most common symptoms and were both associated with irregular mealtimes, irregular meal sizes, eating out in restaurants, meats, barbecue, fried foods, sour foods, sweets, snacks, and salty foods (support >0.05 and lift >1.0). Their most strongly associated factors were irregular meal sizes, barbecues, and snacks (lift >1.2). In addition, irregular mealtimes, salty foods, and sweet foods may be important diet factors influencing the symptoms in CG patients (support >0.05 and lift >1.0), as they were associated with almost all dyspeptic symptoms in the whole group and subgroup analyses. Furthermore, alcohol, barbecue, and spicy foods were associated with almost all symptoms for males (support >0.05 and lift >1.0), but sweets were the only dietary factor associated with all symptoms for females (support >0.05 and lift >1.0). Conclusion This study has provided new data for the association of symptoms with eating habits and food preferences in CG patients. The role of individual daily management schemes, such as dietary or lifestyle programs, needs more attention.

Abstract
UNLABELLED To evaluate current diagnosis and treatment of patients with nocturnal gastroesophageal reflux (nGER). METHODS This multicenter observational study was conducted in 44 hospitals in China from May 2017 to February 2018. Outpatients with nGER were recruited and their relevant data were collected using a questionnaire, including age, gender, body mass index, history of smoking and alcohol consumption, comorbid diseases, lifestyle, self-reported health status, medical history, nGER symptoms and severity, Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, diagnosis and treatment choices. The study was registered on the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (no. ChiCTR1800017525). RESULTS The study included 4978 individuals, with valid questionnaires collected from 4448 patients (89.4%). The symptoms of heartburn and regurgitation were more severe at night than during the day (P < 0.05). Age and body mass index were positively correlated with reflux severity at night and during the day (P < 0.05). The severity of nGER was positively associated with lifestyle factors such as smoking, a high-fat diet, carbonated beverage consumption, late supper (later than 9 pm), and snoring (all P < 0.05). Night-time heartburn and regurgitation were related with sleep disorder. CONCLUSIONS Lifestyle factors are associated with nGER severity, and nGER affects sleep quality. It will be beneficial to popularize and strengthen the diagnosis and treatment of nGER.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is characterized by high morbidity and a significant decrease in the quality of life of patients, and is a major risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma. Nowadays, antisecretory therapy with proton pump inhibitors (PPI) is the "gold standard" of conservative treatment of GERD, but in some cases this therapy is unsuccessful. According to various studies, the prevalence of refractory GERD can reach 30-40%. The latest scientific data in the field of genetics and pathophysiology of GERD demonstrate that a disruption of the barrier function of the esophageal mucosa and an increase of its permeability can be the leading causes of refractoriness. Thus, the optimal therapy for patients with GERD should not only suppress the secretion of hydrochloric acid, but also restore the barrier function of the mucous membrane, providing an esophagoprotective effect. To achieve these goals, Alfasoxx was developed, which consists of a mixture of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid and low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate dissolved in a bioadhesive carrier (poloxamer 407). The clinical efficacy of this product has been confirmed by three prospective, randomized, placebo - controlled trials. Alfasoxx has a healing and restorative effect towards the esophageal epithelium and due to high ability for bioadhesion provides long - term protection of the mucous membrane of the esophagus. Combination therapy for GERD with the use of PPI and an esophagoprotector offers new perspectives for the treatment of patients with GERD.

Abstract
Background Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal tract diseases worldwide. GERD has an effect on the patients' quality of life as well as the health care system that can be prevented by identifying its risk factors among the population. Hence, we applied this study to assess the GERD's risk factors in Saudi Arabia. Methods A cross-sectional study was designed to assess the GERD's risk factors among the community of Saudi Arabia. The sample was collected randomly during the period from November to December 2016. Through a self-administered validated GERD questionnaire (GerdQ), GERD was diagnosed. Then, the GERD's risk factors were assessed among all participants. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 21.0; the Student's t-test was used to assess the association of GERD and risk factors. Results A total of 2,043 subjects participated in the study. The characteristics and behaviors of participants statistically significant with GERD were positive family history (39.3%), obese (body mass index > 30 kg/m2) (39.4%), not performing weekly regular physical activities ≥ 30 min (31.1%) and smoking (39.3%). GERD was commonly noticed in participants on analgesics (38.4%), not taking fibers (37.4%), drinking tea (33.4%), eating greasy (31.2%) and fast food (32.7%), and these were statistically significant with GERD (P ≤ 0.05). Conclusion The characteristics and behaviors associated with GERD in Saudi population are family history of GERD, obesity, sedentary lifestyle and smoking. Other common risk factors correlated with GERD are analgesics intake, no fibers intake, drinking tea, greasy and fast food intake.

Abstract
The relationship between adult children's migration and the health of their older parents 'left behind' is an emerging research area and existing studies reflect mixed findings. This study aims to investigate the association between having migrant (adult) children and older parents' chronic illness in China, using chronic stomach or other digestive diseases as a proxy. Secondary analysis of the national baseline survey of the 2011 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) was conducted. Analyses were conducted in a total of sample of 6495 individuals aged 60 years and above from 28 out of 31 provinces in China, who had at least one child at the baseline survey. Binary logistic regression was used. The prevalence of any of the diagnosed conditions of chronic stomach or other digestive diseases was higher among older people with a migrant son than among those without (27 percent vs 21 percent, p < 0.001). More specifically, the odds ratio of reporting a disease was higher among older adults with at least one adult son living in another county or province than among those with all their sons living closer (OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.10-1.51). The results from this large sample of older adults support the hypothesis that migration of sons significantly increases the risk of chronic stomach and other digestive diseases among 'left behind' elderly parents in contemporary China.
