The average age of the patients was 57.2 years(male/female, 42/38). These patients were treated by first-line eradication therapy with EPZ 40 mg/d, amoxicillin 1500 mg/d, and clarithromycin 400 mg/d for 7 d. All drugs were given twice per day. Correlations between H. pylori eradication, CYP2C19 genotype, and serum pepsinogen(PG) level were analyzed. This study was registered with the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry(UMIN000009642).RESULTS: The H. pylori eradication rates by EPZbased triple therapy evaluated by intention-to-treat and per protocol were 67.5% and 68.4%, respectively, which were similar to triple therapies with other first-generation proton pump inhibitors(PPIs). The eradication rates in three different CYP2C19 genotypes, described as extensive metabolizer(EM), intermediate metabolizer, and poor metabolizer, were 52.2%, 72.1%, and 84.6%, respectively. The H. pylori eradication rate was significantly lower in EM than non-EM(P < 0.05). The serum PG?Ⅰ?level and PG?Ⅰ/Ⅱ ratio were significantly increased after eradication of H. pylori(P < 0.01), suggesting that gastric atrophy was improved by H. pylori eradication. Thus, first-line eradication by EPZbased triple therapy for patients with H. pylori-positive gastritis was influenced by CYP2C19 genotype, and the eradication rate was on the same level with other firstgeneration PPIs in the Japanese population.CONCLUSION: The results from this study suggest that there is no advantage to EPZ-based triple therapy on H. pylori eradication compared to other firstgeneration PPIs.展开更多

METHODS Forty-eight patients diagnosed with gastric ulcer between June 2014 and February 2016 were randomly alloc at e d t o t he c ombinat ion t he r apy gr oup or monotherapy group. The former received hydrotalcite combined with esomeprazole, and the latter received esomeprazole alone, for 8 wk. Twenty-four healthy volunteers were recruited and acted as the healthy control group. Endoscopic ulcer healing was observed using white light endoscopy and narrow band imaging magnifying endoscopy. The composition of collagen fibers, amount of collagen deposition, expression of factor Ⅷ and TGF-β1, and hydroxyproline content were analyzed by Masson staining, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescent imaging and ELISA. RESULTS Following treatment, changes in the gastric microvascular network were statistically different between the combination therapy group and the monotherapy group(P < 0.05). There were significant differences(P < 0.05) in collagen deposition, expression level of Factor Ⅷ and TGF-β1, and hydroxyproline content in the two treatment groups compared with the healthy control group. These parameters in the combination therapy group were significantly higher than in the monotherapy group(P < 0.05). The ratio of collagen?Ⅰ?to collagen Ⅲ was statistically different among the three groups, and was significantly higher in the combination therapy group than in the monotherapy group(P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Hydrotalcite combined with esomeprazole is superior to esomeprazole alone in improving gastric ulcer healing quality in terms of improving microvascular morphology, degree of structure maturity and function of regenerated mucosa.展开更多

The patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio into two sequence groups to define the order in which they received single doses of dexlansoprazole(n = 88) and esomeprazole(n = 87) for an intention-to-treat analysis. The primary endpoints were the complete symptom resolution(CSR) rates at days 1, 3, and 7 after drug administration.RESULTS Thirteen patients were lost to follow-up, resulting in 81 patients in each group for the per-protocol analysis. The CSRs for both groups were similar at days 1, 3 and 7. In the subgroup analysis, the female patients achieved higher CSRs in the dexlansoprazole group than in the esomeprazole group at day 3(38.3% vs 18.4%, P = 0.046). An increasing trend toward a higher CSR was observed in the dexlansoprazole group at day 7(55.3% vs 36.8%, P = 0.09). In the esomeprazole group, female sex was a negative predictive factor for CSR on post-administration day 1 [OR =-1.249 ± 0.543; 95%CI: 0.287(0.099-0.832), P = 0.022] and day 3 [OR =-1.254 ± 0.519; 95%CI: 0.285(0.103-0.789), P = 0.016]. Patients with spicy food eating habits achieved lower CSRs on day 1 [37.3% vs 21.4%, OR =-0.969 ± 0.438; 95%CI: 0.380(0.161-0.896), P = 0.027]. CONCLUSION The overall CSR for GERD patients was similar at days 1-7 for both the dexlansoprazole and esomeprazole groups, although a higher incidence of CSR was observed on day 3 in female patients who received a single dose of dexlansoprazole.展开更多

The extraction method based on liquid-liquid extraction technique was used to extract the analytes and IS from of 50 μL of human plasma using methyl tert-butyl ether:ethyl acetate (80:20, v/v), which offers a high recovery. Chromatographic separation of analytes and IS was achieved on a Hypersil gold C18 column using gradient mobile phase consisting of 2 mM ammonium formate/acetonitrile. The flow rate was set at 0.5 mL/min to elute all the analytes and IS within 1.00 min runtime. Detection of target compounds was performed on a triple quadruple mass spectrometer by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode via positive electrospray ionization (ESI). Method validation results demonstrated that the developed method has good precision and accuracy over the concentration ranges of 0.1-2000 ng/mL for each analyte. Stability of compounds was established in a battery of stability studies, i.e., bench top, autosampler, dry extract and long-term storage stability as well as freeze-thaw cycles. The validated method has been successfully applied to analyze human plasma samples for application in pharmaco- kinetic studies.展开更多

Patientswith typical reflux symptoms for ≥ 3 mo and a negativeendoscopy who had a Gastroesophageal Reflux DiseaseQuestionnaire score ≥ 8 were randomized to initialtreatment with esomeprazole 20 mg once daily eitherfor 8 wk or for 2 wk. Patients with symptom reliefcould enter another 24 wk of maintenance/on-demandtreatment, where further courses of esomeprazole 20mg once daily were given if symptoms recurred. Theprimary endpoint was the symptom control rate at week24 of the maintenance/on-demand treatment period.Secondary endpoints were symptom relief rate, successrate (defined as patients who had symptom reliefafter initial treatment and after 24 wk of maintenancetreatment), time-to-first-relapse and satisfaction rate.RESULTS: Based on the data collected in the modifiedintention-to-treat population (MITT; patients in the ITTpopulation with symptom relief after initial esomeprazoletreatment, n = 262), the symptom control rate showeda small but statistically significant difference in favorof the 8-wk regimen (94.9% vs 87.3%, P = 0.0473).Among the secondary endpoints, based on the datacollected in the ITT population (n = 305), the 8-wkgroup presented marginally better results in symptomrelief after initial esomeprazole treatment (88.3% vs83.4%, P = 0.2513) and success rate over the wholestudy (83.8% vs 72.8%, P = 0.0258). The 8-wkregimen was found to provide a 46% reduction in riskof relapse vs the 2-wk regimen (HR = 0.543; 95%CI:0.388-0.761). In addition, fewer unscheduled visits andhigher patient satisfaction supported the therapeuticbenefits of the 8-wk regimen over the 2-wk regimen.Safety was comparable between the two groups, withboth regimens being well tolerated.CONCLUSION: Chinese patients diagnosed withchronic gastritis achieved marginally better control ofreflux symptoms with an 8-wk vs a 2-wk esomeprazoleregimen, with a similar safety profile.展开更多

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between symptom response and gastro-esophageal acidity control in Chinese patients with GERD on esomeprazole therapy, and to assess the role of 24-hour esophageal pH-metry after therapy in GERD patients.Methods GERD patients with typical reflux symptoms were enrolled and received esomeprazole 40 mg once daily for 4 weeks. Patients with positive baseline 24-hour esophageal pH-metry were divided into two groups depending on an additional dual-channel 24-hour pH-metry after treatment. The pH- group achieved normalization of esophageal pH level whereas the pH+ group did not.Results Of the 80 patients studied, 76 had abnormal baseline esophageal pH levels. Of these, 90% (52/58) of symptom-free patients and 67% (12/18) of symptom-persistent patients achieved esophageal pH normalization after therapy (P=0.030). The mean post-therapy gastric nocturnal percent time of pH 〈4.0 was significantly higher in pH+group than that in pH- group (P 〈0.001) after therapy. The multivariate regression analysis identified hiatus hernia (P〈0.001) and persistent reflux symptom (P=0.004) were two independent factors predicting the low post-therapy esophageal pH level.Conclusions Symptom elimination is not always accompanied by esophageal pH normalization, and vice verse.Esophageal pH-metry is recommended for GERD patients with hiatus hernia or with persistent reflux symptoms after PPI therapy.展开更多

Even though clopidogrel is safer than aspirin in terms of risk for gastrointestinal(GI) bleeding, the elderly, and patients with a history of prior GI bleeding, with Helicobacter pylori infection or those who are also treated with aspirin, anticoagulants, corticosteroids or nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs are at high risk for GI complications when treated with clopidogrel. Accordingly, proton pump inhibitors are frequently administered in combination with clopidogrel to reduce the risk for GI bleeding. Nevertheless, pharmacodynamic studies suggest that omeprazole might attenuate the antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel. However, in observational studies, this interaction does not appear to translate into increased cardiovascular risk in patients treated with this combination. Moreover, in the only randomized, double-blind study that assessed the cardiovascular implications of combining clopidogrel and omeprazole, patients treated with clopidogrel/omeprazole combination had reduced risk for GI events and similar risk for cardiovascular events than patients treated with clopidogrel and placebo. However, the premature interruption of the study and the lack of power analysis in terms of the cardiovascular endpoint do not allow definite conclusions regarding the cardiovascular safety of clopidogrel/omeprazole combination. Other proton pump inhibitors do not appear to interact with clopidogrel. Nevertheless, given the limitations of existing observational and interventional studies, the decision to administer proton pump inhibitors to patients treated with clopidogrel should be individualized based on the patient's bleeding and cardiovascular risk.展开更多

Methods By an open, randomized and control trial, fifty nine patients with active peptic ulcer were randomly assigned to receive one of three PPIs on a single dose (20 mg of each drug): omeprazole group (n=19), rabeprazole group (n=20) and esomeprazole group (n=20). Intragastric pH was recorded 1 hour before and 24 hours after administration. CYP2C19 genotype was tested in all patients. Results The EMs/PMs ratio of each group was 16/3,17/3 and 17/3, respectively. The total time that intragastric pH>4, time percent pH>4 and median pH in PMs patients were significantly higher than those in EMs patients of omeprazole group (P<0.05). But all these differences were not found in rabeprazole group and esomeprazole group. The pH of nocturnal acid breakthrough(NAB) in both rabeprazole group and esomeprazole group was higher than that of omeprazole group, while there was no significant difference between rabeprazole group and esomeprazole group.Conclusion The acid-suppression efficacy of omeprazole is highly dependent on CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism, while CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism may have a little influence on the acid-suppression efficacy of rabeprazole and esomeprazole. The acid-suppression action of rabeprazole and esomeprazole is superior to omeprazole, especially on night acid secretion.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND The pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of esomeprazole in healthy Chinese subjects and the effects of food on the pharmacokinetics have not been well studied.AIM To evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of esomeprazole magnesium(Eso)enteric-coated capsule in the healthy subjects in China and the bioequivalence of the two formulations.METHODS This study was conducted in the Phase I Clinical Trial Unit of the Affiliated Hospital of Changchun University of Chinese Medicine.A total of 64 healthy subjects were enrolled in the study.Thirty-two subjects fasted or fed,took the test or reference formulation Eso enteric-coated capsule by a four-cycle,two-sequence crossover of fasting/fed,self-controlled method.The liquid chromatographymass spectrometry was performed to determine the drug plasma concentration at 16 different time points within 12 h after drug administration.The pharmacokinetic parameters Cmax,area under the curve(AUC)0-t,and AUC0-inf were calculated to evaluate the bioequivalence.RESULTS Pharmacokinetic parameters were evaluated after subjects took the test formulation and control formulation under fasting status.The ratio of geometric means of Cmax was 104.15%,with a confidence interval(CI)of 98.20-110.46%.The ratio of geometric means of AUC0-t was 105.26%,with a CI of 99.80-111.01%.The ratio of geometric means of AUC0-inf was 105.37%,with a CI of 99.97-111.06%.The pharmacokinetic parameters were also evaluated after subjects took the reference formulation of Eso enteric-coated capsule after eating.The upper limit of 95%CI of the geometric mean ratio of pharmacokinetic parameters of Eso enteric-coated capsules in the postprandial state Cmax was-0.1689,and the point estimate was 0.9509(0.80-1.25).The upper limit of 95%CI of the geometric mean ratio of pharmacokinetic parameters of Eso enteric-coated capsules in the postprandial state AUC0-t was-0.1015(≤0),and the point estimate was 0.9003(0.80-1.25).The upper limit of 95%CI of the geometric mean ratio of pharmacokinetic parameters of Eso enteric-coated capsules in the postprandial state AUC0-inf was-0.0593(≤0),and the point estimate was 0.8453(0.80-1.25).The results indicated that the two formulations were bioequivalent under both fasting and fed states.CONCLUSION The two types of esomeprazole tablets were bioequivalent under both fasting and fed states,and both were generally well tolerated.
文摘AIM To compare symptom control with esomeprazoleregimens for non-erosive reflux disease and chronicgastritis in patients with a negative endoscopy.METHODS: This randomized, open-label study wasdesigned in line with clinical practice in China. Patientswith typical reflux symptoms for ≥ 3 mo and a negativeendoscopy who had a Gastroesophageal Reflux DiseaseQuestionnaire score ≥ 8 were randomized to initialtreatment with esomeprazole 20 mg once daily eitherfor 8 wk or for 2 wk. Patients with symptom reliefcould enter another 24 wk of maintenance/on-demandtreatment, where further courses of esomeprazole 20mg once daily were given if symptoms recurred. Theprimary endpoint was the symptom control rate at week24 of the maintenance/on-demand treatment period.Secondary endpoints were symptom relief rate, successrate (defined as patients who had symptom reliefafter initial treatment and after 24 wk of maintenancetreatment), time-to-first-relapse and satisfaction rate.RESULTS: Based on the data collected in the modifiedintention-to-treat population (MITT; patients in the ITTpopulation with symptom relief after initial esomeprazoletreatment, n = 262), the symptom control rate showeda small but statistically significant difference in favorof the 8-wk regimen (94.9% vs 87.3%, P = 0.0473).Among the secondary endpoints, based on the datacollected in the ITT population (n = 305), the 8-wkgroup presented marginally better results in symptomrelief after initial esomeprazole treatment (88.3% vs83.4%, P = 0.2513) and success rate over the wholestudy (83.8% vs 72.8%, P = 0.0258). The 8-wkregimen was found to provide a 46% reduction in riskof relapse vs the 2-wk regimen (HR = 0.543; 95%CI:0.388-0.761). In addition, fewer unscheduled visits andhigher patient satisfaction supported the therapeuticbenefits of the 8-wk regimen over the 2-wk regimen.Safety was comparable between the two groups, withboth regimens being well tolerated.CONCLUSION: Chinese patients diagnosed withchronic gastritis achieved marginally better control ofreflux symptoms with an 8-wk vs a 2-wk esomeprazoleregimen, with a similar safety profile.
文摘Background The relationship between symptom elimination and normalization of esophageal acid level of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy has been questioned. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between symptom response and gastro-esophageal acidity control in Chinese patients with GERD on esomeprazole therapy, and to assess the role of 24-hour esophageal pH-metry after therapy in GERD patients.Methods GERD patients with typical reflux symptoms were enrolled and received esomeprazole 40 mg once daily for 4 weeks. Patients with positive baseline 24-hour esophageal pH-metry were divided into two groups depending on an additional dual-channel 24-hour pH-metry after treatment. The pH- group achieved normalization of esophageal pH level whereas the pH+ group did not.Results Of the 80 patients studied, 76 had abnormal baseline esophageal pH levels. Of these, 90% (52/58) of symptom-free patients and 67% (12/18) of symptom-persistent patients achieved esophageal pH normalization after therapy (P=0.030). The mean post-therapy gastric nocturnal percent time of pH 〈4.0 was significantly higher in pH+group than that in pH- group (P 〈0.001) after therapy. The multivariate regression analysis identified hiatus hernia (P〈0.001) and persistent reflux symptom (P=0.004) were two independent factors predicting the low post-therapy esophageal pH level.Conclusions Symptom elimination is not always accompanied by esophageal pH normalization, and vice verse.Esophageal pH-metry is recommended for GERD patients with hiatus hernia or with persistent reflux symptoms after PPI therapy.

文摘Esomeprazole,one of the proton pump inhibitors(PPIs),has been widely used in acid-related diseases,such as gastro-esophageal reflux disease and Helicobacter pylori infection.Compared with other PPIs,esomeprazole has higher acid control efficiency,bioavailability,stability,and less interindividual variation depending on its pharmacokinetic properties.Esomeprazole was considered safe for long-term administration.However,several recent studies have contradicted its absolute safety,and some detrimental cases have been reported in some special groups,such as pregnant women and patients with liver cirrhosis.Because acid-related diseases usually require long-term therapy and esomeprazole inhibits CYP2C19 enzyme that increases the probability of drug-drug interaction,these risks have become a concern.Recent studies have shown that esomeprazole not only inhibits acid secretion,but also exhibits acid-independent effects in inflammatory conditions.Esomeprazole can modulate NF-κb activation to resist tissue oxidation and apoptosis in gastric ulcer.In CCL4-induced liver fibrosis,esomeprazole improves oxidative stress,fibrogenesis,and apoptosis,but the mechanism still remains unclear.This review summarized the property of esomeprazole and its potential risk for administration,and its latest research progress,which may facilitate clinicians to better use and avoid the potential risks.
文摘Objective:To observe the clinical effect of emergency interventional therapy for patients with acute severe non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding.Methods:78 patients with acute severe non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding who were treated in the General Hospital of the Eastern Theater Command from May 2020 to May 2023 were randomly divided into two groups according to different treatment plans.The study group underwent emergency upper gastrointestinal angiography and interventional embolization therapy,the control group was treated with esomeprazole;the clinical data related to the two groups were compared,including the total effective rate of treatment,blood pressure stabilization time,bleeding control time,etc.Results:The effective rate of clinical treatment in the study group was 97.44%,which was higher than that in the control group,which was 79.49%(P<0.05).Both were significantly shorter(P<0.05);the 7 d rebleeding rate and 30 d rebleeding rate of the study group were lower than those of the control group(P<0.05);the 7 d and 30 d mortality rates of the two groups after treatment were compared,and the comparative study group was lower,but there was no significant difference(P>0.05).Conclusion:Emergency interventional therapy can control bleeding more quickly,shorten bleeding control time and complete hemostasis time,shorten blood pressure stabilization time and abdominal pain relief time,and reduce rebleeding rate in patients with acute severe non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
文摘Clopidogrel is a widely used antiplatelet agent for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with stable coronary heart disease, acute coronary syndromes and ischemic stroke. Even though clopidogrel is safer than aspirin in terms of risk for gastrointestinal(GI) bleeding, the elderly, and patients with a history of prior GI bleeding, with Helicobacter pylori infection or those who are also treated with aspirin, anticoagulants, corticosteroids or nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs are at high risk for GI complications when treated with clopidogrel. Accordingly, proton pump inhibitors are frequently administered in combination with clopidogrel to reduce the risk for GI bleeding. Nevertheless, pharmacodynamic studies suggest that omeprazole might attenuate the antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel. However, in observational studies, this interaction does not appear to translate into increased cardiovascular risk in patients treated with this combination. Moreover, in the only randomized, double-blind study that assessed the cardiovascular implications of combining clopidogrel and omeprazole, patients treated with clopidogrel/omeprazole combination had reduced risk for GI events and similar risk for cardiovascular events than patients treated with clopidogrel and placebo. However, the premature interruption of the study and the lack of power analysis in terms of the cardiovascular endpoint do not allow definite conclusions regarding the cardiovascular safety of clopidogrel/omeprazole combination. Other proton pump inhibitors do not appear to interact with clopidogrel. Nevertheless, given the limitations of existing observational and interventional studies, the decision to administer proton pump inhibitors to patients treated with clopidogrel should be individualized based on the patient's bleeding and cardiovascular risk.
文摘Objective To investigate acid-suppression efficacy of proton pump inhibitors(PPIs) in relation to CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism on patients with peptic ulcer. Methods By an open, randomized and control trial, fifty nine patients with active peptic ulcer were randomly assigned to receive one of three PPIs on a single dose (20 mg of each drug): omeprazole group (n=19), rabeprazole group (n=20) and esomeprazole group (n=20). Intragastric pH was recorded 1 hour before and 24 hours after administration. CYP2C19 genotype was tested in all patients. Results The EMs/PMs ratio of each group was 16/3,17/3 and 17/3, respectively. The total time that intragastric pH>4, time percent pH>4 and median pH in PMs patients were significantly higher than those in EMs patients of omeprazole group (P<0.05). But all these differences were not found in rabeprazole group and esomeprazole group. The pH of nocturnal acid breakthrough(NAB) in both rabeprazole group and esomeprazole group was higher than that of omeprazole group, while there was no significant difference between rabeprazole group and esomeprazole group.Conclusion The acid-suppression efficacy of omeprazole is highly dependent on CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism, while CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism may have a little influence on the acid-suppression efficacy of rabeprazole and esomeprazole. The acid-suppression action of rabeprazole and esomeprazole is superior to omeprazole, especially on night acid secretion.
