Background: The early diagnosis and treatment of Heliobacter pylori (H.pylori) gastrointestinal infection provide significant benefits to patients. We constructed a convolutional neural network (CNN) model based on an endoscopic system to diagnose H.

Article Synopsis
  • Bismuth quadruple therapy (BQT) effectively eradicates Helicobacter pylori infection, but its impact on gut microbiota and the role of fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) post-therapy remains less understood.
  • A randomized controlled trial conducted in China involved 30 H. pylori-positive patients who received either FMT or a placebo after 14 days of BQT, with stool samples analyzed to assess changes in gut microbiota.
  • Results showed that BQT temporarily decreased beneficial gut bacteria and increased pathogenic ones, with both groups returning to baseline gut flora levels by Week 10, and the FMT group showing reduced gastrointestinal symptoms compared to the placebo group by Week 3.

Background: A high-dose proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-amoxicillin dual therapy has been investigated for treatment of patients with () infection. Currently, the efficacy of this dual therapy remains inconclusive, with controversial findings from various single-center clinical trials.

Objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of high-dose dual therapy (HDDT) compared with the bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (BQT) in treatment-naive patients with infection.

Article Synopsis
  • * A total of 146 patients with previous treatment failures were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial, receiving either HDDT (high doses of esomeprazole and amoxicillin) or various regimens based on individual bacterial resistance for CB-SGT, all for 14 days.
  • * Eradication rates for HDDT and CB-SGT were comparable, both around 84.9%, with HDDT achieving slightly higher success in patients with certain genetic polymorphisms, but the difference was within acceptable limits

Background: Inconsistent eradication rates for Helicobacter pylori have been reported worldwide with dual therapy, perhaps owing to the difference in dose administration and treatment duration. This retrospective study aimed to determine whether high-dose dual therapy (HDDT) with different regimens leads to different eradication rates. The study compares the efficacy and safety of HDDT 10-day vs 14-day and investigates the factors that might affect the eradication rates.

Background: resistance to amoxicillin remains rare in many regions. Proton pump inhibitor-amoxicillin-containing high dose dual therapy (HDDT) has been proposed to treat infection. We aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of PPI-amoxicillin HDDT for treatment of infection in comparison with other regimens.

A limited number of studies have explored whether the role of circulating proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) in the pathogenesis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is sex specific. The purpose of the present study was to examine sex differences in plasma PCSK9 in Chinese patients with AMI. In this study, a total of 281 records from patients presenting with AMI were analyzed.
