(Arecaceae) pulp oil: An edible Amazonian species with functional properties. Fitoterapia 2024; 174:105857. [PMID: 38354821 DOI: 10.1016/j.fitote.2024.105857] [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: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
Mauritia flexuosa, known as buriti in Brazil, is a widespread palm tree in Amazonia. It has many ethnobotanical uses, including food, oil, and medicine. The oil obtained from buriti's fruit pulp has high levels of monounsaturated fatty acids, carotenoids, and tocopherols, and is used in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries for its antioxidant properties. Many biological activities have been reported for buriti oil, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, chemopreventive, and immunomodulatory. Due to its high content of bioactive compounds, buriti oil is considered a functional ingredient with possible benefits in preventing oxidative stress and chronic diseases, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract. Peptic ulcer disease is a multifactorial disorder, involving lesions in the stomach and duodenum mucosa, which has a complex healing process. In this context, some nutrients and bioactive compounds help the maintenance of gastrointestinal mucosal integrity and function, such as carotenoids, tocopherols, and unsaturated fatty acids, which makes buriti oil an interesting candidate to be used in the prevention and management of gastrointestinal diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the gastroprotective and antiulcer effects of buriti oil and its possible mechanisms of action. Buriti oil reduced the ulcerative area and lipid peroxidation induced by ethanol. The gastroprotective activity of buriti oil partially depends on nitric oxide and sulfhydryl compounds. In acetic acid-induced gastric ulcers, buriti oil accelerated healing and stimulated the formation of new gastric glands. These results demonstrated the potential of buriti oil as a functional ingredient to promote health benefits in the gastrointestinal tract.

Park S, Liu M, Huang S. Association of Polygenic Variants Involved in Immunity and Inflammation with Duodenal Ulcer Risk and Their Interaction with Irregular Eating Habits. Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15020296. [PMID: 36678166 PMCID: PMC9863374 DOI: 10.3390/nu15020296] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2022] [Revised: 01/01/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Genetic and environmental factors are associated with developing and progressing duodenal ulcer (DU) risk. However, the exact nature of the disease pathophysiology and the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-lifestyle interaction has yet to be determined. The purpose of the present study was to examine the SNPs linked to DU risk and their interaction with lifestyles and diets in a large hospital-based cohort of Asians. Based on an earlier diagnosis, the participants were divided into the DU (case; n = 1088) and non-DU (control, n = 56,713) groups. The SNP associated with DU risk were obtained from a genome-wide association study (GWAS), and those promoted genetic impact with SNP-SNP interactions were identified with generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction analysis. The interaction between polygenic risk score (PRS) calculated from the selected genetic variants and nutrient were examined. They were related to actin modification, immune response, and cell migration by modulating leucine-rich repeats (LRR) domain binding, Shaffer interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) targets in myeloma vs. mature B lymphocyte, and Reactome runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3). Among the selected SNPs, rs11230563 (R225W) showed missense mutation and low binding affinity with different food components in the autodock analysis. Glycyrrhizin, physalin B, janthitrem F, and casuarinin lowered it in only wild CD6 protein but not in mutated CD6. Plastoquinone 8, solamargine, saponin D, and matesaponin 2 decreased energy binding affinity in mutated CD6 proteins. The PRS of the 5-SNP and 6-SNP models exhibited a positive association with DU risk (OR = 3.14). The PRS of the 5-SNP PRS model interacted with irregular eating habits and smoking status. In participants with irregular eating habits or smokers, DU incidence was much higher in the participants with high PRS than in those with low PRS. In conclusion, the genetic impact of DU risk was mainly in regulating immunity, inflammation, and actin modification. Adults who are genetically susceptible to DU need to eat regularly and to be non-smokers. The results could be applied to personalize nutrition.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a 0.5-1 µm wide, 2-4 µm long, short helical, S-shaped Gram-negative microorganism. It is mostly found in the pyloric region of the stomach and causes chronic gastric infection. It is estimated that these bacteria infect more than half of the world's population. The mode of transmission and infection of H. pylori is still not known exactly, but the faecal-oral and oral-oral routes via water or food consumption are thought to be a very common cause. In the last three decades, research interest has increased regarding the pathogenicity, microbial activity, genetic predisposition, and clinical treatments to understand the severity of gastric atrophy and gastric cancer caused by H. pylori. Studies have suggested a relationship between H. pylori infection and malabsorption of essential micronutrients, and noted that H. pylori infection may affect the prevalence of malnutrition in some risk groups. On the other hand, dietary factors may play a considerably important role in H. pylori infection, and it has been reported that an adequate and balanced diet, especially high fruit and vegetable consumption and low processed salty food consumption, has a protective effect against the outcomes of H. pylori infection. The present review provides an overview of all aspects of H. pylori infection, such as clinical features, treatment, and nutrition.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal diseases are common diseases of many kinds. The pathogenesis of gastrointestinal disease has not been fully understood. In this study with gastric mucosa specimen, among the three groups of chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, and duodenal ulcer, there were differences
of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), Lactobacillus, Prevotella, Clostridium, B. fragilis, and Enterobacteriaceae. There was no significant difference in Lactobacillus among chronic gastritis, gastric ulcers, and duodenal ulcers with fecal specimens, but there was a significant
difference between these three groups and the gastric cancer group. Correlation analysis showed that six kinds of flora had a negative correlation with H. pylori, procalcitonin (PCT), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4+),
cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8+), immunoglobulin G (IgG), and immunoglobulin M (IgM) were different in different gastrointestinal diseases, and PCT, TNF-α and CD8+ were positively correlated with H. pylori and negatively correlated with CD4+,
IgM and IgG. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, recurrent gastric ulcer times, atrophic gastritis, and H. pylori were independent risk factors of gastric ulcer canceration. Therefore, we believe that gastrointestinal flora, especially H. pylori, plays a vital role
in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal diseases, and H. pylori is an essential risk factor for gastric ulcer carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Every human body has a gut microbiome, which is a complex collection of microorganisms
that live in the digestive tracts. The composition of the gut flora changes over time, when
diet changes, overall health changes. Intestinal flora hosts more amounts of the microbes when
compared to stomach flora as it is less vulnerable to the acidity of the gastric mucosa. Intestinal flora
plays a major role in balancing the immune function as well as metabolic homeostasis, regulating
inflammation, increasing mineral bioavailability, synthesizing neurotransmitters, regulating
appetite and blood sugar and protecting against pathogens. Dysbiosis in the gut leads to various gastrointestinal
disorders like inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, peptic ulcer,
metabolic syndromes like obesity, diabetes and various neurological disorders like autism, multiple
sclerosis. Therefore, the complete wellness of our body is dependent on the microbial composition
of the gut. Probiotics and prebiotic foods can add as a key element supplementing the wellness of
our body.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The negative effects on the eradication success of Helicobacter pylori infection after previous exposure to macrolides, including clarithromycin on clarithromycin-based first-line therapy have been demonstrated. However, whether this is true for metronidazole-based second-line quadruple therapy remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between past administration of metronidazole and the failure of metronidazole-based second-line quadruple therapy in patients with H. pylori infection. METHODS Patients over 20 years of age who were diagnosed with H. pylori infection between January 1998 and March 2016 were enrolled in this study. The relationship between the clinical parameters and the results of a C13-urea breath test after metronidazole-based second-line quadruple therapy was analyzed in patients for whom clarithromycin-based triple therapy failed to eradicate H. pylori. RESULTS The H. pylori eradication failure rate was significantly higher in patients with a history of metronidazole use than in patients without a history of metronidazole use (p = 0.011). Multivariable analysis showed that the odds ratio of previous metronidazole use for eradication failure was 3.468 (95% confidence interval, 1.391 to 8.649; p = 0.008). In the subgroup analysis of patients with a history of metronidazole use, the duration of metronidazole use and interval between its use and eradication therapy did not significantly affect H. pylori eradication failure. CONCLUSION Previous exposure to metronidazole was a significant risk factor for treatment failure of metronidazole-based second-line quadruple therapy; therefore, this should be considered when establishing a treatment strategy for patients with H. pylori infection.

Abstract
Studies have shown that peptic ulcer disease (PUD) increases the risk of dementia via the mechanism of systemic inflammation. We examined the association between PUD and the risk of dementia using a population-based national sample cohort from South Korea.Using the national cohort study from the Korean National Health Insurance Service, we extracted data for patients with dementia (n = 11,434) and for 1:4 matched control participants (n = 45,736) and then analyzed the previous histories of PUD from 2002 to 2013 using conditional logistic regression analyses. The controls were matched to the patients according to age, sex, income, region of residence, and past medical history. Subgroup analyses were performed based on age and sex.There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of PUD between the dementia and control groups (18.0% vs 17.4%, P = .107). The adjusted odds ratio (OR) for PUD was 0.92 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.88-0.97, P = .002). In the subgroup analysis based on age, the adjusted ORs for PUD were 0.93 (95% CI = 0.88-0.99) in the <80-year-old group and 0.90 (95% CI = 0.82-1.00) in the ≥80-year-old group (each P < .05). In the subgroup analysis based on sex, the adjusted ORs for PUD were 0.89 (95% CI = 0.81-0.97; P < .05) in men and 0.94 (95% CI = 0.89-1.00; P = .06) in women.PUD does not increase the risk of dementia at any age or in either sex after adjusting for age and the history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, ischemic heart disease, stroke, and depression.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We performed a nationwide, population-based cohort study to investigate the risk of osteoporosis in patients with peptic ulcer disease in South Korea and concluded that peptic ulcer disease is associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis. PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the association between peptic ulcer disease (PUD) and the occurrence of osteoporosis using a national sample cohort from South Korea. METHODS Using the national cohort study from the Korean National Health Insurance Service, we extracted data for patients with PUD (n = 50,002) and for 1:1 matched control participants (n = 50,002); we then analyzed the occurrence of osteoporosis from 2002 to 2013. The patients were matched according to age, sex, income, region of residence, and past medical history. A stratified Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the hazard ratios (HRs) and the 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analyses were performed based on age and sex. RESULTS The adjusted HR for osteoporosis was 1.36 (95% CI = 1.33-1.40, P < 0.001) in the PUD group. In the subgroup analysis based on age and sex, the respective adjusted HRs of PUD for osteoporosis were 1.33 (95% CI = 1.21-1.47) in the < 65-year-old group of men and 1.42 (95% CI = 1.30-1.56) in the ≥ 65-year-old group of men (each P < 0.001). The respective adjusted HRs of PUD for osteoporosis were 1.34 (95% CI = 1.29-1.39) in the < 65-year-old group of women and 1.38 (95% CI = 1.33-1.47) in the ≥ 65-year-old group of women (each P < 0.001). CONCLUSION In the current nationwide cohort study, we found that PUD is associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis regardless of sex.

Abstract
The present study was planned to evaluate correlation between Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and autoimmune liver disease (AILD). A total of 60 patients diagnosed with AILD in Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical College were continuously enrolled in the present study. HP infection was detected by 13C-urea breath test. The levels of anti-myeloperoxidase were tested by ELISA. The positive rate of anti-nuclear antibody (ANA), anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA), anti-smooth muscle antibody (SMA) and anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA) were tested by indirect immunofluorescence. The positive rates of anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA-M2), anti-liver-kidney microsomal antibody (LKM-1), anti-liver cytoplasm antibody I (LC-1) and anti-soluble liver antigen/liver-pancreas antigen (SLA/LP) were tested by immunoblotting. Liver function indexes including alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, alkaline phosphatase and glutamyltransferase, were analyzed with a fully automatic biochemical analyzer. The levels of serum cytokine IFN-γ, interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were tested by ELISA. A total of 37 patients (61.67%) were observed to be HP-positive. MPO-positive rate, positive rate of ANA, AMA, SMA and ANCA and positive rate of AMA-M2, LKM-1, LC-1 and SLA/LP in patients with positive HP infection were significantly higher than those of patients with negative HP infection. On the other hand, the levels of liver function indices did not showed any significant differences among HP-positive cases or HP-negative cases. However, the levels of IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α in patients with positive HP infection were significantly higher than those of patients with negative HP infection. In conclusion, the positive infection rate of HP infection in patients with AILD is high and is closely associated with various positive immune antibodies as well as cytokine levels.
