Background & Aims: This study evaluated the effect of long-term gastric acid suppressive therapy with omeprazole on intragastric levels of carcinogenic N-nitrosamines and related parameters.
Methods: Forty-five patients on long-term omeprazole medication (mean, 35 months) and 13 healthy subjects without medication participated. Volatile N-nitrosamines were determined in gastric juice and urine. Intragastric pH, nitrite, nitrate, and H. pylori status were determined. DNA isolated from gastric biopsy specimens was analyzed for precarcinogenic alkyl-DNA adducts.
Results: The intragastric pH in patients was significantly higher compared with controls (P = 0.0001). Gastric nitrite levels in patients were nonsignificantly higher. There was no difference in total levels of intragastric volatile N-nitrosamines between patients and controls, however, urinary N-nitrosodimethylamine excretion was higher in patients (P = 0.001). On omeprazole, Helicobacter pylori-positive vs. -negative patients had a nonsignificantly higher intragastric nitrite level and higher urinary N-nitrosodimethylamine excretion. No alkyl-DNA adducts could be detected in gastric epithelium.
Conclusions: Increased intragastric pH caused by long-term treatment with omeprazole does not result in increased intragastric levels of nitrite and volatile N-nitrosamines. The significantly higher urinary N-nitrosamine excretion implies the risk of increased endogenous formation of N-nitrosamines during long-term omeprazole treatment. This risk may be higher in H. pylori-positive patients.

Visual, sensitive, and selective detection of carcinogenic substances is highly desired in portable health protection and practical medicine production. However, achieving this goal presents significant challenges with the traditional single-mode sensors reported so far, as they have limited sensing mechanisms and provide only a single output signal. Here, we report an effective optical and electrical dual-mode sensor for the visual, sensitive, and selective detection of -nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), a typical volatile carcinogenic substance, leveraging the synergy of ionic liquid-doped liquid crystals (IL-LC).

To reduce the risk of -nitrosamines in deli meat products, this study formulated a novel non-contact -nitrosamines inhibiting preservative IV (NIP-IV) consisting of biocontrol bacteria and plant essential oils (EOs) ( SR-1 + PP-2 + CF-3+ cinnamon EO + grapefruit EO). Luncheon pork, spiced beef, and red sausage were taken as representatives of typical deli meat products and used to validate the effectiveness of NIP-IV in inhibiting -nitroso dimethylamine (NDMA) production. The results showed that NIP-IV restrain protein degradation and lipid oxidation in deli meat products and effectively control microbial activity.

In recent years, the control of volatile N-nitrosamines (NAs) has been of interest in the pharmaceutical and food industries, as many of these compounds are probable human carcinogens. Thus, rapid and trace-level quantitative determination methods are in urgent demand. In this work, ambient pressure ammonium-adduct ionization mass spectrometry was proposed for the sensitive detection of volatile nitrosamines in various pharmaceutical headspaces.
