Bismuth-Containing Quadruple Therapy for Helicobacter pylori Eradication: A Randomized Clinical Trial of 10 and 14 Days.

Background: Bismuth-containing quadruple therapy is the first-line treatment for eradicating Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). The optimal duration for H.

Exploring acupuncture treatment strategies for snoring based on meridian theory.

Starting from the perspective of meridian theory, this article briefly analyzes the meridian pathophysiology of snoring and the relationship between snoring and meridian theory. It proposes that acupuncture treatment for snoring should focus on regulating from the meridians, harmonizing the spirit by the governor vessel, resolving phlegm through the three meridians, and harmonizing and blood from the meridians. Additionally, attention is placed on both the root cause and the symptoms, the theory of "four seas".

[Application of single-arm objective performance criteria/performance goal in acupuncture-moxibustion clinical trials].

Due to various constraints, such as clinical implementation conditions and unique characteristics of acupuncture-moxibustion, some randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of acupuncture-moxibustion still suffer from relatively low quality and limited applicability. The single-arm objective performance criteria/performance goal can be considered as an ideal supplementary and alternative research approach to RCTs. In this paper, the feasibility of applying the single-arm objective performance criteria/performance goal in acupuncture-moxibustion clinical research is explored from the limitations of conducting acupuncture-moxibustion RCTs, the principles, the essential design considerations and key statistical steps.

Efficacy and safety of a 14-day modified concomitant therapy for refractory Helicobacter pylori infection: a pilot study.

Background And Aim: After three treatment failures, Helicobacter pylori infection is deemed refractory as antibiotic treatment options become significantly limited. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a 14-day modified concomitant therapy for managing refractory H. pylori infection.

[Clinical thinking of acupuncture for snoring based on "disharmony leads to restlessness"].

This study summarizes the clinical thinking of acupuncture for snoring based on "disharmony leads to restlessness". According to the pathological characteristics of stagnation and blood stasis, phlegm dampness and internal obstruction in snoring patients, combined with the etiology, pathogenesis and location of the disease, the innovative viewpoint of "disharmony leads to restlessness" is proposed. It is believed that the key to snoring treatment lies in "regulating ".

Efficacy and Safety of Vonoprazan and Amoxicillin Dual Therapy for Helicobacter pylori Eradication: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Introduction: Vonoprazan, a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker, has a strong acid suppression effect and potent efficacy in acid-associated diseases, including Helicobacter pylori eradication. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the efficacy and safety of vonoprazan/amoxicillin dual therapy for H. pylori eradication.

Vonoprazan is noninferior to proton pump inhibitors in bismuth-containing quadruple therapy for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection: A propensity score matching analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vonoprazan (VPZ) versus proton pump inhibitor (PPI) in clarithromycin-based bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (C-BQT) for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication.

Methods: Medical records of patients in whom H.

The cure rate of 10-day bismuth-containing quadruple therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication is equivalent to 14-day: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a major cause of duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, and gastric cancer. However, the optimal duration for H.

Clinical practice of Helicobacter pylori infection management by gastroenterologists in secondary and tertiary hospitals: A stratified sampling cross-sectional survey.

Objective: To investigate the management of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection by gastroenterologists from secondary and tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province, China, where there is a high prevalence of H. pylori infection.

Implementation of WeChat-based patient-doctor interaction in the management of Helicobacter pylori infection: A propensity score matching analysis.

Objective: We aimed to investigate if the WeChat-based patient-doctor interaction could affect treatment outcomes of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication compared with conventional patient education (CPE) alone.

Methods: Patients treated for H.

Two Different 1-Week Quadruple Therapies Given Back-to-Back Consecutive Therapy for Difficult-to-Treat Helicobacter pylori Infection: A Pilot Study.

Introduction: We aim to evaluate the efficacy of 2 different 1-week quadruple therapies given back-to-back consecutive therapy in patients with difficult-to-treat Helicobacter pylori infection.

Methods: Patients with proven H. pylori infection were recruited after >3 failed standard quadruple eradication.

Culm transcriptome sequencing of Badila (Saccharum officinarum L.) and analysis of major genes involved in sucrose accumulation.

Sugarcane is an important sugar and energy crop worldwide. It utilises highly efficient C4 photosynthesis and accumulates sucrose in its culms. The sucrose content in sugarcane culms is a quantitative trait controlled by multiple genes.

Development and Characterization of Transgenic Sugarcane with Insect Resistance and Herbicide Tolerance.

Genetically modified crops which had been commercial applied extensively majorly are the insect resistance and herbicide tolerance events. In this study, the Bt insecticidal gene Cry1Ab, the glyphosate-tolerant gene EPSPS, and the selection marker gene PMI were combined into a single transferred DNA fragment and introduced into sugarcane by -mediated transformation. Thirty-three resistant plantlets were obtained after selection using a PMI/mannose selection system.
