Vonoprazan Fumarate: A Promising Therapeutic Option for the Rapid Relief of Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease.

Objective: The aim is to examine the Reflux Symptom Score-12 (RSS-12) and assess the effectiveness of vonoprazan fumarate in managing laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) among the Chinese population.

Methods: A total of 140 patients with LPRD who were treated at our otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic were included. The patients were randomly divided into the vonoprazan treatment group and the esomeprazole treatment group.

Serological Prevalence of Schistosoma japonicum in Mobile Populations in Previously Endemic but Now Non-Endemic Regions of China: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Schistosomiasis japonica has been resurging in certain areas of China where its transmission was previously well controlled or interrupted. Several factors may be contributing to this, including mobile populations, which if infected, may spread the disease. A wide range of estimates have been published for S.

Comparison of genetic diversity and population structure between two Schistosoma japonicum isolates--the field and the laboratory.

Schistosomiasis japonicum is one of the most important human parasitic diseases, and a number of studies have recently elucidated the difference in biological characteristics of S. japonicum among different parasite isolates, for example, between the field and the laboratory isolates. Therefore, the understanding of underlying genetic mechanism is of both theoretical and practical importance.

Compatibility of Schistosoma japonicum from the hilly region and Oncomelania hupensis hupensis from the marshland region within Anhui, China.

Schistosome japonicum remains one main public concern in China. This is exemplified in the hilly region in Anhui Province, where rodents have served as reservoirs for the parasite and no effective intervention could target such wild animals. The closer relationship between the hilly region and the near marshland induces the worry of spread of the hill parasite to the marshland region.
