Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:7286. [PMID: 39000391 PMCID: PMC11242121 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25137286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Whether the long-term treatment of patients with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) with different diseases [GERD, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES), etc.] can result in vitamin B12 (VB12) deficiency is controversial. In this study, in 175 patients undergoing long-term ZES treatment with anti-acid therapies, drug-induced control acid secretory rates were correlated with the presence/absence of VB12 deficiency, determined by assessing serum VB12 levels, measurements of VB12 body stores (blood methylmalonic acid (MMA) and total homocysteine[tHYC]), and other features of ZES. After a mean of 10.2 yrs. of any acid treatment (5.6 yrs. with PPIs), 21% had VB12 deficiency with significantly lower serum and body VB12 levels (p < 0.0001). The presence of VB12 deficiency did not correlate with any feature of ZES but was associated with a 12-fold lower acid control rate, a 2-fold higher acid control pH (6.4 vs. 3.7), and acid control secretory rates below those required for the activation of pepsin (pH > 3.5). Over a 5-yr period, the patients with VB12 deficiency had a higher rate of achlorhydria (73% vs. 24%) and a lower rate of normal acid secretion (0% vs. 49%). In conclusion, in ZES patients, chronic long-term PPI treatment results in marked acid hyposecretion, resulting in decreased serum VB12 levels and decreased VB12-body stores, which can result in VB12 deficiency.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori, a type of gram-negative bacterium, infects roughly half of the global population. It is strongly associated with gastrointestinal disorders like gastric cancer, peptic ulcers, and chronic gastritis. Moreover, numerous studies have linked this bacterium to various extra-gastric conditions, including hematologic, cardiovascular, and neurological issues. Specifically, research has shown that Helicobacter pylori interacts with the brain through the microbiota-gut-brain axis, thereby increasing the risk of neurological disorders. The inflammatory mediators released by Helicobacter pylori-induced chronic gastritis may disrupt the function of the blood-brain barrier by interfering with the transmission or direct action of neurotransmitters. This article examines the correlation between Helicobacter pylori and a range of conditions, such as hyperhomocysteinemia, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, ischemic stroke, multiple sclerosis, migraine, and Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Impact of STAT6 Variants on the Response to Proton Pump Inhibitors and Comorbidities in Patients with Eosinophilic Esophagitis. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:3685. [PMID: 38612496 PMCID: PMC11011338 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25073685] [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: 02/19/2024] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the first-line drug for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), although it is estimated that there is a lack of histological remission in 50% of patients. This research aimed to identify pharmacogenetic biomarkers predictive of PPI effectiveness and to study their association with disease features. Peak eosinophil count (PEC) and the endoscopic reference score (EREFS) were determined before and after an eight-week PPI course in 28 EoE patients. The impact of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6), CYP2C19, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and ABCB1 genetic variations on baseline PEC and EREFS, their reduction and histological response, and on EoE symptoms and comorbidities was analyzed. PEC reduction was higher in omeprazole-treated patients (92.5%) compared to other PPIs (57.9%, p = 0.003). STAT6 rs12368672 (g.18453G>C) G/G genotype showed higher baseline PEC values compared to G/C and C/C genotypes (83.2 vs. 52.9, p = 0.027). EREFS reduction in STAT6 rs12368672 G/G and G/C genotypes was higher than in the C/C genotype (36.7% vs. -75.0% p = 0.011). However, significance was lost after Bonferroni correction. Heartburn incidence was higher in STAT6 rs167769 (g.27148G>A) G/G patients compared to G/A (54.55% vs. 11.77%, p = 0.030). STAT6 rs12368672G>C and rs167769G>A variants might have a relevant impact on EoE status and PPI response. Further research is warranted to clarify the clinical relevance of these variants.

Management of Polypharmacy and Potential Drug-Drug Interactions in Patients with Pulmonary Aspergillosis: A 2-Year Study of a Multidisciplinary Outpatient Clinic. J Fungi (Basel) 2024; 10:107. [PMID: 38392779 PMCID: PMC10889795 DOI: 10.3390/jof10020107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Pulmonary aspergillosis mainly affects elderly patients, patients with pulmonary complications, patients with hematological malignancies, organ transplant recipients, or critically ill patients. Co-morbidities may result in a high rate of polypharmacy and a high risk of potential drug-drug interaction (pDDI)-related antifungal azoles, which are perpetrators of several pharmacokinetic- and pharmacodynamic-driven pDDIs. Here, we report the results of the first 2-year study of an outpatient clinic focusing on the management of therapies in patients with pulmonary aspergillosis. All patients who underwent an outpatient visit from May 2021 to May 2023 were included in this retrospective analysis. A total of 34 patients who were given an azole as an antifungal treatment (53% voriconazole, 41% isavuconazole, and 6% itraconazole) were included. Overall, 172 pDDIs were identified and classified as red- (8%), orange- (74%), or yellow-flag (18%) combinations. We suggested handling polypharmacy in those patients using specific diagnostic and pharmacologic interventions. As expected, red-flag pDDIs involved mainly voriconazole as a perpetrator (71%). However, nearly 30% of red-flag pDDIs were not related to antifungal therapy. These findings highlight the importance of conducting an overall assessment of the pharmacologic burden and the key role played by a multidisciplinary team for the optimization of therapies in patients with pulmonary aspergillosis.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely prescribed medications for the management of various gastrointestinal disorders, primarily gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. However, recent concerns have emerged regarding their potential adverse effects on kidney function and their role in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This systematic review aims to comprehensively analyze the existing literature to assess the impact of PPI use on kidney function and CKD progression. We took information from PubMed, PubMed Central (PMC), and Google Scholar articles from the last 10 years, from 2013 to 2023, and looked for links between PPI use and a number of kidney-related outcomes. These included acute kidney injury, a drop in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and new cases of CKD. The findings of this systematic review highlight the need for a thorough evaluation of the benefits and risks associated with PPI use, particularly in patients with pre-existing kidney conditions, in order to inform clinical decision-making and improve were taken out and looked at to see if there were any links between PPI use and different kidney-related events, such as acute kidney injury, a drop in the estimated eGFR, and the development of CKD. The review also explores potential mechanisms underlying PPI-induced nephrotoxicity. The findings of this systematic review highlight the need for a thorough evaluation of the benefits and risks associated with PPI use, particularly in patients with pre-existing kidney conditions, in order to inform clinical decision-making and improve patient care. Further research is warranted to better understand the complex interplay between PPIs, kidney function, and CKD progression.

Abstract
In recent years, the gut-brain axis (GBA) has been implicated in several vital physiological processes, including digestion, immunity, inflammation, and mood regulation. Disruption of this network is tied to the development of several pathological conditions, including mood disorders, inflammatory bowel diseases, and dementia. Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are among the most utilized and easily accessible medications worldwide. Although they are effective at treating conditions, including gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and erosive esophagitis, PPIs have several mechanisms that may precipitate protein and, thus, amino acid malnutrition. Our patient is a 34-year-old female with a longstanding history of GERD treated with proton-pump inhibitors who presented to the psychiatry clinic complaining of a six-month history of depression without extraneous psychosocial factors. Although the patient refused psychiatric intervention, she desired an answer for her symptoms, leading to the discovery of a severe tyrosine deficiency. As tyrosine is critical in the process of neurotransmitter synthesis, replenishment of the amino acid along with discontinuation of proton-pump inhibitors was found to relieve her depressive symptoms within a few short months. In this report, we seek to establish a link between the chronic use of proton-pump inhibitor medications and the development of mood disorders.
