Treatment of < em > Helicobacter pylori < /em > with potassium competitive acid blockers: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: VPZ-based triple therapy outperformed conventional PPI-based triple therapy in eradicating H. pylori, positioning it as a highly effective first-line regimen. Additionally, TPZ-based triple therapy was non-inferior to classical PPI triple therapy.PMID:38577188 | PMC:PMC10989498 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1213 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)

Early prediction and prevention of infected pancreatic necrosis
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 7;30(9):1005-1010. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1005.ABSTRACTApproximately 20%-30% of patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis develop infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN), a highly morbid and potentially lethal complication. Early identification of patients at high risk of IPN may facilitate appropriate preventive measures to improve clinical outcomes. In the past two decades, several markers and predictive tools have been proposed and evaluated for this purpose. Conventional biomarkers like C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, lymphocyte count, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8, and newly develo...

From liver to hormones: The endocrine consequences of cirrhosis
This article provides a comprehensive review of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of endocrine disturbances in liver cirrhosis. The review was conducted using the PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, and Scielo databases, encompassing 172 articles. Liver cirrhosis is associated with endocrine disturbances, including diabetes, hypoglycemia, sarcopenia, thyroid dysfunction, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, bone disease, adrenal insufficiency, growth hormone dysfunction, and secondary hyperaldosteronism. The optimal tools for diagnosing diabetes and detecting hypoglycemia are the oral glucose tolerance test and con...

Risk of hepatitis B virus reactivation in oncological patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors: A case report and literature analysis
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 7;30(9):1253-1256. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1253.ABSTRACTHepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation (HBVr) represents a severe and potentially life-threatening condition, and preventive measures are available through blood test screening or prophylactic therapy administration. The assessment of HBVr traditionally considers factors such as HBV profile, including hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and antibody to hepatitis B core antigen, along with type of medication (chemotherapy; immunomodulants). Nevertheless, consideration of possible patient's underlying tumor and the specific malignancy type ...

Uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 prevents the progression of liver injury
CONCLUSION: UGT1A1 is upregulated as a compensatory response during liver injury, and interference with this upregulation process may worsen liver injury. UGT1A1 reduces ER stress, oxidative stress, and lipid metabolism disorder, thereby mitigating hepatocyte apoptosis and necroptosis.PMID:38577195 | PMC:PMC10989491 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1189 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)

PRaG 3.0 therapy for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: A case report
CONCLUSION: PRaG 3.0 might be a novel strategy for HER2-positive metastatic PDAC patients who failed from previous first-line approach and even PD-1 immunotherapy but needs more data in prospective trials.PMID:38577174 | PMC:PMC10989490 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1237 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)

Genetic risk stratification of inflammatory bowel disease-associated venous thromboembolism: An Asian perspective
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 7;30(9):1250-1252. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1250.ABSTRACTThe utilisation of polygenic scoring models may enhance the clinician's ability to risk stratify an inflammatory bowel disease patient's individual risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and guide the appropriate usage of VTE thromboprophylaxis, yet there is a need to validate such models in ethnically diverse populations.PMID:38577175 | PMC:PMC10989499 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1250 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)

Melanocortin 3,5 receptors immunohistochemical expression in colonic mucosa of inflammatory bowel disease patients: A matter of disease activity?
CONCLUSION: MC3R and MC5R are expressed in the colon of IBD patients. Furthermore, expression may differ according to disease endoscopic activity, with a higher degree of expression in the traits affected by disease activity in both CD and UC, suggesting a potential use of these receptors in IBD pharmacology.PMID:38577176 | PMC:PMC10989484 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1132 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)

Exploring non-curative endoscopic submucosal dissection: Current treatment optimization and future indication expansion
This article emphasizes the significance of evaluating ESD quality, not only for curative cases but also for non-curative ones. Postoperative assessment relies on the endoscopic curability (eCura) classification, but management strategies for eCuraC-1 tumour with a positive horizontal margin are unclear. Current research primarily focuses on comparing additional surgical procedures in high-risk patients, while studies specifically targeting eCuraC-1 patients are limited. Exploring management strategies and follow-up outcomes for such cases could provide valuable insights. Furthermore, the application of molecular imaging u...
