After reviewing its mechanism of action, the author summarises the action of Primperan in gastro-oesophageal reflux. Various studies have shown that the intravenous or oral administration of a single dose of Primperan induces an increase in the tone of the inferior oesophageal sphincter and an acceleration of gastric emptying in patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux. A dose of at least 10 mg is required. Long term Primperan treatment, at a dose of 40 mg/day in 4 doses, before each meal and at bedtime, significantly reduces the symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux and the consumption of antacids.

Objective: To explore the current research status and trends of potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) in the treatment of acid related diseases (ARDs) using bibliometric analysis.
Materials And Methods: We collected publications related to P-CAB in the treatment of acid-related diseases in the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection from the establishment of the database to 30 June 2024. We evaluated the publication volume and citation status over the years using the WOS platform, and visualized the authors, countries, institutions, keywords, and citations of the publications using CiteSpace and VOSviewer.
Objectives: Achalasia is an esophageal motility disorder of unknown etiology. However, no studies have determined the populations in which sleep problems occur and whether they are improved by peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). We investigated the rate of sleep problems assessed by GERD-Q (AGQ) in achalasia patients, evaluated whether POEM improves these issues, and identified factors associated with sleep improvement after POEM.

Background: Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), the most frequent phenotype of gastroesophageal reflux disease, presents without visible esophageal mucosal damage but significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Current treatments like proton pump inhibitors show limited efficacy for many NERD patients, necessitating alternative approaches. Jianpi Qinghua (JQ) granules, a traditional Chinese medicine, have shown promise in treating NERD by targeting symptoms of spleen deficiency and damp-heat syndrome.
