August 2012
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness of a 10-day sequential therapy for treating Helicobacter pylori infection in 214 children with abdominal pain.
- The children were divided into four groups, with one receiving the sequential therapy and others receiving various durations of triple therapy, and all outcomes were measured using a breath test four weeks post-treatment.
- The results showed the sequential therapy group had a higher eradication rate of 85.2%, significantly outperforming the 7-day and 10-day triple therapy groups, but not significantly different from the 14-day triple therapy group.
[Balloon dilation with gastroscope for esophageal stricture in children].
Zhonghua Er Ke Za Zhi
December 2008
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of balloon dilation (BD) with gastroscope in treatment of esophageal stricture in children.
Methods: BD was performed in 12 children aged 5 - 59 months, average age 26 months, course of disease was 2 - 26 months, with esophageal stricture, 7 cases with anastomotic strictures secondary to surgical repair of esophageal atresia, 3 with congenital esophageal stenosis, 2 with corrosive esophageal strictures. All procedures were performed under tracheal intubation and intravenous anesthesia using the 3rd grade controlled radial expansion (CRE) esophagus-balloon with gastroscope.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the dominant genotypes of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) in 105 children with gastric and duodenal diseases from Guangzhou, focusing on vacA, cagA, and iceA genes.
- Out of the 105 children, 52 tested positive for Hp, with the majority exhibiting the vacA s1as1c/m2 genotype, and a significant presence of cagA(+) gene among the infected children.
- Results indicated a clear prevalence of specific Hp genotypes in the patient population, with important statistical differences noted among the various genotypes and their associations with infection.
