Vonoprazan and amoxicillin dual therapy as the first-line treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Recent clinical trials have evaluated the efficacy of vonoprazan-amoxicillin (VA) dual therapy as the first-line treatment for Helicobacter pylori infection in different regions with inconsistent results reported. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of VA dual therapy compared to the currently recommended therapy for eradicating H. pylori.

Research trends on nanomaterials in gastric cancer: a bibliometric analysis from 2004 to 2023.

Background: Gastric cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In recent years, an increasing number of studies aimed at designing and developing nanomaterials for use in diagnosing and treating gastric cancer have been conducted. In this study, we aimed to comprehensively assess the current status and trends of the research on the application of nanomaterials in gastric cancer through a bibliometric analysis.

Identification of a novel survival predictor, CSF2RB, for female lung cancer in never smokers (LCNS) by a bioinformatics analysis.

Lung cancer in never smokers (LCNS) has been considered as a separate disease and the 7th cause of cancer-related death worldwide. However, limited research has focused on "female" cohorts, which have presented a higher incidence rate. In this study, the microarray data of lung cancer tissues derived from 54 female lung cancer patients, consisting of 43 nonsmokers and 11 smokers, were selected from GSE2109 dataset.

[Determination of wine original regions using information fusion of NIR and MIR spectroscopy].

Geographical origins of wine grapes are significant factors affecting wine quality and wine prices. Tasters' evaluation is a good method but has some limitations. It is important to discriminate different wine original regions quickly and accurately.

Effect of Chinese herbal medicine for calming Gan (肝) and suppressing hyperactive yang on arterial elasticity function and circadian rhythm of blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension.

Objective: To observe the effect of Chinese herbal medicine for calming Gan (肝) and suppressing hyperactive yang (平肝潜阳, CGSHY) on arterial elasticity function and the circadian rhythm of blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension (EH).

Methods: Adopting a parallel, randomized design, sixty-four patients with EH of stages I and II were randomly divided into two groups according to a random number table, with 32 in each group. The patients in the treatment group were treated with CGSHY and those in the control group were treated with Enalapril.
