Background: Although there are many Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) diagnostic methods, the culture and antibiotic susceptibility test is an important method for selecting the most effective H. pylori eradication regimen. However, this diagnostic method is complicated and takes several days; therefore, the development of a rapid and simple diagnostic method is required. Eradication failure due to clarithromycin (CAM) resistance should also be considered. In this study, we report the clinical evaluation of point-of-care testing (POCT) kit using intragastric fluid, a novel kit for detecting H. pylori and CAM resistance.
Materials And Methods: The study participants were 143 patients suspected of H. pylori infection and had an endoscopic examination. The novel diagnostic kit diagnosed H. pylori infection and CAM resistance-associated mutation using intragastric fluid. To diagnose H. pylori infection, the relationship between the diagnostic kit and conventional diagnostic methods (urea breath test, stool antigen test, culture test, and real-time polymerase chain reaction [PCR]) was evaluated. For CAM resistance-associated mutation detection, the concordance between the diagnostic kit and antibiotic susceptibility test was evaluated.
Results: The diagnosis of H. pylori infection with the novel molecular diagnostic kit using intragastric fluid showed significant relationship with conventional diagnostic methods. Especially when the culture was control, the sensitivity was 100% (67/67), the specificity was 95.9% (71/74), and the overall concordance was 97.9% (138/141). The detection of CAM resistance-associated mutations had a concordance rate of 97.0% (65/67) when compared with the antibiotic susceptibility test.
Conclusions: The H. pylori molecular POCT kit uses intragastric fluid as a sample and can diagnose H. pylori infection and detect CAM resistance-associated mutations within an hour. This novel kit is expected to prove useful in selecting the most effective eradication regimen for H. pylori.

With the increasing use of lithium-ion batteries, the exposure and health effects of lithium nickel manganate cobalt (NMC), a popular cathode material for the battery, have attracted widespread attention. However, the main absorption routes and target organs of NMC are unknown. This study aims to systematically investigate the main absorption routes and target organs of NMC.

Background: Defects in SLC26A3, the major colonic Cl-/HCO3- exchanger, result in chloride-rich diarrhea, a reduction in short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing bacteria, and a high incidence of inflammatory bowel disease in humans and in mice. Slc26a3-/- mice are, therefore, an interesting animal model for spontaneous but mild colonic inflammation and for testing strategies to reverse or prevent the inflammation. This study investigates the effect of Escherichia coli Nissle (EcN) application on the microbiome, SCFA production, barrier integrity, and mucosal inflammation in slc26a3-/- mice.

Background: The role of the JAK2-STAT1/PD-L1 pathway in the phagocytic activity of alveolar macrophages (AMs) during LPS-induced acute lung injury in mice remains poorly understood. This study aims to explore whether the JAK2-STAT1/PD-L1 pathway is upregulated on AMs in LPS-induced mice acute lung injury and to further explore the impact of the JAK2-specific inhibitor CEP-33779 on the LPS-induced impairment of AMs phagocytic activity and lung injury.
Methods: ALI was induced in mice via intratracheal administration of LPS, followed by intragastric administration of JAK2 inhibitor CEP-33779 suspension.

Background: The Abdominal Compartment Society (WSACS) established consensus definitions and recommendations for the management of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) in 2006, and they were last updated in 2013. The WSACS conducted an international survey between 2022 and 2023 to seek the agreement of healthcare practitioners (HCPs) worldwide on current and new candidate statements that may be used for future guidelines.
Methods: A self-administered, online cross-sectional survey was conducted under the auspices of the WSACS to assess the level of agreement among HCPs over current and new candidate statements.

Objective To evaluate the influence of sample collection time during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) on the accuracy of a newly approved point-of-care test (POCT)-based polymerase chain reaction kit for detecting Helicobacter pylori and clarithromycin susceptibility in gastric wash fluid. Methods Intragastric fluid was collected at three time points: Collection Time 1 (start of EGD), Collection Time 2 (during EGD), and Collection Time 3 (after indigo carmine spraying). POCT-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) targeting 23S rRNA domain V (2142/2143) was used to quantify H.
