Abstract
Factors that influence the pancreas microbiome are not well understood. Regular proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use induces significant alterations in the gut microbiome, including an increase in the abundance of Streptococcus, and may be associated with pancreatic cancer risk. The aim of this study was to examine whether PPI use is associated with pancreatic and duodenal tissue microbiomes. We compared 16S rRNA microbiome profiles of normal pancreatic and duodenal tissue from 103 patients undergoing pancreatic surgery for non-malignant indications, including 34 patients on PPIs, accounting for factors including age, smoking, body mass index and the presence of main pancreatic duct dilation. Histologically normal tissue from the pancreatic head had higher alpha diversity and enrichment of Firmicutes by phylum-level analysis and Streptococcus species compared to normal pancreas body/tail tissues (16.8 % vs 8.8 %, P = .02, and 5.9 % vs 1.4 %, P = .03, respectively). Measures of beta diversity differed significantly between the pancreas and the duodenum, but in subjects with main pancreatic duct dilation, beta diversity of pancreatic head tissue was more similar to normal duodenal tissue than those without pancreatic duct dilation. Duodenal tissue of PPI users had significant enrichment of Firmicute phyla (34.7 % vs. 14.1 %, P = .01) and Streptococcus genera (19.5 % vs. 5.2 %, P = .01) compared to non-users; these differences were not evident in pancreas tissues. By multivariate analysis, PPI use was associated with alpha diversity in the duodenum, but not in the pancreas. However, some differences in pancreas tissue beta diversity were observed between PPI users and non-users. In summary, we find differences in the microbiome profiles of the pancreas head versus the pancreatic body/tail and we find PPI use is associated with alterations in duodenal and pancreatic tissue microbiome profiles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the drugs most commonly used in critically ill patients. Although mainly applied temporarily for stress ulcer prophylaxis, their application is frequently not terminated. Potential adverse effects of PPI treatment could impact the outcome in case of unnecessary and, therefore, avoidable long-term continuation. We tested the hypotheses that nonindicated PPI therapy continued beyond hospital discharge is associated with increased morbidity, rehospitalization rate, and mortality. DESIGN Nationwide retrospective cohort study considering critically ill patients treated on German ICUs between January, 2017, and December, 2018 with a 2-year follow-up. SETTING A total of 591,207 patient datasets of a German healthcare insurer were screened. PATIENTS We identified 11,576 ICU patients who received PPI therapy for the first time during their index ICU stay without having an indication for its continuation. INTERVENTIONS The cohort was stratified into two groups: 1) patients without further PPI therapy and 2) patients with continuation of PPI therapy beyond 8 weeks after hospital discharge. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Frequency of predescribed adverse events associated with PPI therapy, 1-year rehospitalization rate, and 2-year mortality were determined. The proportion of patients with continued PPI therapy without an objectifiable indication was 41.7% (4,825 of 11,576 patients). These patients had a 27% greater risk of pneumonia (odds ratio [OR] 1.27; 95% CI, 1.15-1.39; p < 0.001) and a 17% greater risk of cardiovascular events (OR 1.17; 95% CI, 1.08-1.26; p < 0.001). Continued PPI therapy was associated with a 34% greater risk of rehospitalization (OR 1.34; 95% CI, 1.23-1.47) and a nearly 20% greater 2-year mortality risk (hazard ratio 1.17; 95% CI, 1.08-1.27; p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate that an unnecessary continuation of PPI therapy after hospital discharge may significantly impact morbidity and mortality. To avoid potentially harmful overuse of a PPIs, intensivists should ensure timely cessation of a temporarily indicated PPI therapy.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the lethal cancers in the world and its 5-year survival rate is <10%. Due to the unique TME and dense tissue structure, its curative efficacy is far from satisfactory,the immunotherapy is even more invalid. According to the recent studies, the gut and tumor microbiota have been proved to play a key role in the development, progression and prognosis of PDAC. Based on the differences of microbiome composition observed in PDAC patients and normal pancreas, many researches have been made focusing on the latent communication between gut and intra-tumor microbiota and PDAC. In this review, we will demonstrate the potential mechanism of the oncogenic effects of GM and IM and their crucial effects on modulating the TME. Besides, we focus on their interaction with chemotherapeutic and immunotherapeutic drugs and inducing the drug resistance, thus enlightening the promising role to be used to monitor the occurrence of PDAC, accurately modulate the immune environment to promote the therapeutic efficacy and predict the prognosis.

Abstract
Proton Pump Inhibitors are used widely to manage many gastric acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal disease, gastritis, esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, peptic ulcer disease, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-associated ulcers, and Helicobacter pylori eradication, around the globe. This review article focuses on adverse effects associated with the long-term use of proton pump inhibitors. Various observational studies, clinical trials, and meta-analyses have established the adverse effects associated with the long-term use of proton pump inhibitors including renal disorders (acute interstitial nephritis, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, and end-stage renal disease), cardiovascular risks (major adverse cardiovascular events, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and stroke), fractures, infections (Clostridium difficile infection, community-acquired pneumonia, and Coronavirus disease 2019), micronutrient deficiencies (hypomagnesemia, anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency, hypocalcemia, hypokalemia), hypergastrinemia, cancers (gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, hepatic cancer), hepatic encephalopathy, and dementia. Clinicians including prescribers and pharmacists should be aware of the adverse effects of taking proton pump inhibitors for an extended period of time. In addition, the patients taking proton pump inhibitors for long-term should be monitored for the listed adverse effects. The American Gastroenterological association recommends a few non-pharmacological measures and the use of histamine 2 blockers to lessen gastrointestinal symptoms of gastroesophageal reflex disease and the utilization of proton pump inhibitors treatment if there is a definitive indication. Additionally, the American Gastroenterological association's Best Practice Advice statements emphasize deprescribing when there is no clear indication for proton pump inhibitors therapy.

J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12072467.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely prescribed in medical practice for the treatment of several gastrointestinal disorders. Previous epidemiology studies have reported the association between PPI use and the risk of AKI, although the magnitude of the association between PPIs and the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) remains uncertain. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to determine the relationship between PPI therapy and the risk of AKI. We systematically searched for relevant articles published before January 2023 on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. In addition, we conducted a manual search of the bibliographies of potential articles. Two independent reviewers examined the appropriateness of all studies for inclusion. We pooled studies that compared the risk of AKI with PPI against their control using a random effect model. The search criteria based on PRISMA guidelines yielded 568 articles. Twelve observational studies included 2,492,125 individuals. The pooled adjusted RR demonstrated a significant positive association between PPI therapy and the risk of AKI (adjusted RR 1.75, 95% CI: 1.40-2.19, p < 0.001), and it was consistent across subgroups. A visual presentation of the funnel plot and Egger's regression test showed no evidence of publication bias. Our meta-analysis indicated that persons using PPIs exhibited an increased risk of AKI. North American individuals had a higher risk of AKI compared to Asian and European individuals. However, the pooled effect from observational studies cannot clarify whether the observed association is a causal effect or the result of some unmeasured confounding factors. Hence, the biological mechanisms underlying this association are still unclear and require further research.

Proton Pump Inhibitors and Risk of Chronic Kidney Disease: Evidence from Observational Studies. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12062262.

Abstract
Previous epidemiological studies have raised the concern that the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) is associated with an increased risk of kidney diseases. To date, no comprehensive meta-analysis has been conducted to assess the association between PPIs and the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to address the association between PPIs and CKD. The primary search was conducted in the most popular databases, such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. All observational studies evaluated the risk of CKD among PPI users, and non-users were considered for inclusion. Two reviewers conducted data extraction and assessed the risk of bias. Random-effect models were used to calculate pooled effect sizes. A total of 6,829,905 participants from 10 observational studies were included. Compared with non-PPI use, PPI use was significantly associated with an increased risk of CKD (RR 1.72, 95% CI: 1.02–2.87, p = 0.03). This updated meta-analysis showed that PPI was significantly associated with an increased risk of CKD. Association was observed in the same among moderate-quality studies. Until further randomized control trials (RCTs) and biological studies confirm these results, PPI therapy should not stop patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, caution should be used when prescribing to patients with high-risk kidney disease.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common malignancy of the pancreas and is associated with an extremely poor prognosis. Many PDAC patients suffer from profound nutritional complications such as nutrient deficiencies, weight loss, malnutrition, and cancer cachexia. These complications cause barriers to effective anticancer treatments, gravely influence their quality of life, and decrease their overall survival. Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) is defined as impaired digestion due to inadequate secretion of pancreatic enzymes and is a common cause of malnutrition in PDAC. This review first summarizes the existing literature around malnutrition in PDAC, with a particular focus on PEI and its management with pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT). Second, we summarize existing guidelines and recommendations for the management of PEI among patients with PDAC. Lastly, we highlight potential gaps of knowledge of PEI among healthcare providers resulting in underdiagnosis and treatment, which may have implications for the quality of life and overall survival of PDAC patients.
