【Objective】 To explore the causal association between the onset of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and migraine and to provide genetic evidence, a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) method was used in this study. 【Methods】 Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) information for both samples was obtained from publicly available genome-wide association study (GWAS) databases, in which the appropriate SNPs were selected as instrumental variables, and then bidirectional MR analysis used five MR analysis methods including inverse variance weighting (IVW), MR-Egger regression, weighted median, weighted mode and simple mode methods, followed by sensitivity analysis. 【Results】 IVW showed positive results of forward MR analysis with GERD as exposure [OR=1.398 7, 95%CI (1.181 7-1.655 6), P=9.59×10-5] , while no positive significance of reverse MR analysis results with migraine as exposure (P>0.05). The same results were obtained in methods other than MR-Egger method. Meanwhile, none of the instrumental variables were found to be horizontally polytomous (P=0.92, P=0.64), and the results were robust after the leave-one-out method to exclude single SNPs. 【Conclusion】 There may be a unidirectional causal association between GERD and migraine, and GERD is a risk factor for migraine development.

Introduction: Two parameters of high-resolution esophageal manometry are used to observe the function of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ): the anatomical morphology of the EGJ and contractile vigor, which is evaluated with the esophagogastric junction contractile integral (EGJ-CI). To date, how these parameters behave in different gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) phenotypes has not been evaluated. Materials and methods: An analytical observational study evaluated patients with GERD confirmed by pH-impedance testing and endoscopy undergoing high-resolution esophageal manometry. The anatomical morphology of the EGJ and EGJ-CI was assessed and compared between reflux phenotypes: acid, non-acid, erosive, and non-erosive. Results: 72 patients were included (63% women, mean age: 54.9 years), 81.9% with acid reflux and 25% with erosive esophagitis. In the latter, a decrease in EGJ-CI (median: 15.1 vs. 23, p = 0.04) and a more significant proportion of patients with type IIIa and IIIb EGJ (83.3% vs 37.1%, p < 0.01) were found. No significant differences existed in the manometric parameters of patients with and without acid and non-acid reflux. Conclusion: In our population, EGJ-CI significantly decreased in patients with erosive GERD, suggesting that it could be used to predict this condition in patients with GERD. This finding is also related to a higher proportion of type III EGJ and lower pressure at end-inspiration of the lower esophageal sphincter in this reflux type.
Introducción: Para observar la función de la unión esofagogástrica (UEG) se utilizan dos parámetros de la manometría esofágica de alta resolución: la morfología anatómica de la UEG y el vigor contráctil, el cual se evalúa con la integral de contractilidad distal de la unión esofagogástrica (IC-UEG). Hasta el momento, no se ha evaluado cómo se comportan estos parámetros en los diferentes fenotipos de enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofágico (ERGE). Metodología: Estudio observacional analítico en el que se evaluaron pacientes con ERGE confirmado por pH-impedanciometría y endoscopia, llevados a manometría esofágica de alta resolución. Se evaluó la morfología anatómica de la UEG y la IC-UEG, y se comparó entre los diferentes fenotipos de reflujo: ácido, no ácido, erosivo y no erosivo. Resultados: Se incluyó a 72 pacientes (63% mujeres, edad media: 54,9 años), 81,9% con reflujo ácido y 25% con esofagitis erosiva. En este último grupo se encontró una disminución de la IC-UEG (mediana: 15,1 frente a 23, p = 0,04) y una mayor proporción de pacientes con UEG tipo IIIa y IIIb (83,3% frente a 37,1%, p < 0,01). No se encontraron diferencias significativas en los parámetros manométricos de los pacientes con y sin reflujo ácido y no ácido. Conclusión: En nuestra población, la IC-UEG estuvo significativamente disminuida en los pacientes con ERGE erosivo, lo que sugiere que podría ser utilizada como un predictor de esta condición en pacientes con ERGE. Este hallazgo también se relaciona con mayor proporción de UGE tipo III y menor presión al final de la inspiración del esfínter esofágico inferior en este tipo de reflujo.

CONCLUSIONS Vonoprazan has a considerable effectiveness and safety in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
摘要
Dental erosion is characterized by progressively destroyed teeth, which has no relation to bacteria but to chemicals. Some internal factors, such as gastroesophageal reflux induced by bulimia, anorexia, gastrointestinal diseases, or drugs, and external factors, such as diet, drugs, and occupational acid exposure, are considered promotive factors for this disease. This article presents a patient suffering from severe dental erosion in the whole dentition, especially in the maxillary teeth, due to gastroesophageal reflux induced by glucocorticoid therapy for optic neuritis. This article discusses the mechanism between optic neuritis glucocorticoid therapy and dental erosion.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease （GERD） is a frequently and commonly occurring disease in clinic. In recent decades， with the development in pathophysiology and drug researches， modern medicine has achieved remarkable progress and results in diagnosis and treatment. However， the treatments for non-erosive reflux disease， refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease， proton pump inhibitor resistance， overlap of disease symptoms， and extraesophageal symptoms are limited and ineffective. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） was widely used in clinical practice， which has been proved effective in relieving symptoms and improving the quality of life. Sponsored by China Association of Chinese Medicine （CACM） and undertaken by the Spleen and Stomach Disease Branch of CACM， "the 12th Youth Salon of Clinical Predominance Disease Series （GERD）" invited 18 authoritative digestive experts of TCM and western medicine to discuss "the difficulties of clinical diagnosis and treatment of GERD and TCM advantages". The focus issues such as modern medical diagnosis and treatment achievements and contributions， improvement and maintenance of symptoms， response to overlapping disease symptoms， reduction and withdrawal of acid suppressors， and treatment of extra-esophageal symptoms were discussed in depth. TCM and western medicine exchanged and complemented each other's strengths， combing the difficulties of modern medical diagnosis and treatment， which clarified the positioning and advantages of TCM and provided guidance for clinical and scientific research.
摘要
The Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)is related to the dynamic disorder of the digestive tract caused by the imbalance of the viscera and meridians.The spleen and stomach are the hub of the qi machinery,transforming the essence of water and valley into energy and regulating the Yin and Yang of all bodies.The sympathetic balance between Ren-Du and Qi is the motivity of the spleen and stomach.Interstitial cells of Cajal(ICC)are the hub of digestive motility,which can maintain mitochondrial energy metabolism through mitochondrial autophagy and improve the digestive motility.Therefore,in this paper,the molecular biological basis of GERD was discussed based on the"regulating pivot with pivot"theory that the pivots of viscera and meridians drive ICC mitochondrial energy balance.It also explains the feasibility of Qi-Shi-Sheng-Jiang-Gui-Yuan Decoction in treating GERD based on"regulating pivot with pivot",which is helpful to realize the microscopization and concretization of"regulating pivot with pivot"theory and realize the modernization of TCM theory.
摘要
Background:Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)is a common digestive disorder,but its underlying causes are still unclear.Patients with GERD often experience anxiety,depression,and ineffective esophageal motility.However,there have been limited studies on the relationship between anxiety/depression and esophageal motility.Aims:To investigate the mental state of patients with different subtypes of GERD and explore its correlation with esophageal motility.Methods:From September 2018 to June 2022,a total of 96 outpatients presenting typical acid reflux and heartburn symptoms with a GerdQ score≥10 were enrolled at Jincheng People's Hospital.They were divided into two groups based on gastroscopy findings:non-erosive reflux disease(NERD)group(77 cases)and reflux esophagitis(RE)group(19 cases).General data,clinical symptoms,anxiety/depression scores,and high-resolution esophageal manometry results were compared between the two groups using t-test,chi-square test,and Spearman correlation analysis.Results:There was a statistically significant difference between the NERD group and RE group(P<0.05),with more females in the NERD group.The self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)scores were significantly higher in the NERD group[44.00(29.00-58.00)]compared to the RE group[23.00(20.00-29.38)],indicating a greater presence of anxiety in the NERD group than in the RE group;this difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).However,there was no significant difference in self-rating depression scale(SDS),Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA),or Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)scores between the two groups.Furthermore,a negative correlation was observed between distal contractile integral(DCI)values and SAS scores among GERD patients(P<0.05).Additionally,a small negative correlation existed between DCI values and SDS,HAMA,and HAMD(P>0.05).Conclusions:The NERD group exhibits a more pronounced anxiety state compared to the RE group.Furthermore,there exists a negative correlation between the anxiety state of GERD patients and DCI,suggesting that anxiety may influence esophageal motility involvement in the pathogenesis of GERD.
摘要
Background:Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)is a common digestive system disease with typical symptoms of acid reflux and heartburn,and high sensitivity of esophagus is an important cause of heartburn and other symptoms.TRPV1 and NaV1.8 may play an important role in the regulation of esophageal hypersensitivity,and the specific mechanism is not yet clear.Aims:To detect the expression levels of TRPV1 and NaV1.8 in esophageal sensory neuron in GERD state and explore their role in mediating esophageal hypersensitivity.Methods:Twelve guinea pigs were randomly divided into control group and GERD group.The GERD guinea pig model was established by drinking hydrochloric-pepsinogen acid water,the body mass of guinea pigs was monitored,the esophageal inflammatory histological score was performed,and the successful construction of the GERD model was verified by measuring the expression indicators of inflammatory factors.The heart rate variability method was used to detect whether the guinea pigs were in the state of visceral hypersensitivity.The expression and co-expression of TRPV1 and NaV1.8 in esophagus,nodular ganglion and jugular ganglion were detected by immunofluorescence,Western blot and real-time fluorescence quantification.Results:Compared with the control group,the score of esophageal inflammatory histology in GERD group was much higher than that in the control group(0.96 vs.0.22).The contents of esophageal inflammatory factors interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α were significantly increased(P<0.05),while the contents of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 were decreased(P<0.05).The index of heart rate variability,low frequency to high frequency ratio(LF/HF)had no significant difference between the GERD group and the control group(P>0.05),and the LF/HF in the GERD group was higher than that in the control group after the molding(P<0.05).In esophagus and jugular,the expression levels of TRPV1 and NaV1.8 in GERD group were increased and the co-expression levels were up-regulated(P<0.05),while the expression levels in nodose were not significantly changed(P>0.05).Conclusions:In the case of esophageal acid exposure,the expression levels of TRPV1 and NaV1.8 in the esophageal mucosal epithelium increased,while the expression levels in jugular ganglion were up-regulated,thus promoting the transmission of pain signals in the vagus nerve pathway,and ultimately leading to the occurrence of esophageal hypersensitivity.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of reflux esophagitis after sleeve gastrectomy and its plus procedures.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinical data of 130 patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy and its plus procedures (jejunal bypass, duodenal-jejunal bypass) for the treatment of metabolic diseases in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from May 2010 to August 2021 were collected. There were 34 males and 96 females, aged (32±8)years, with the body mass index (BMI) as (38±7)kg/m 2. Observation indicators: (1) incidence of reflux esophagitis before and after surgery; (2) clinical manifestations of reflux esophagitis and treatment; (3) influencing factors of reflux esopha-gitis after surgery; (4) follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. In univariate analysis, the median value of clinical variable was used for grouping and the chi-square test was used for subsequent analysis. Multivariate analysis was conducted using Logistic stepwise regression model. Results:(1) Incidence of reflux esophagitis before and after surgery. Of 130 patients, there were 5 cases with Los Angeles classification grade A reflux esopha-gitis before the surgery, and there were 35 cases with reflux esophagitis after surgery, including 26 cases as Los Angeles classification grade A esophagitis, 8 cases as Los Angeles classification grade B esophagitis and 1 case as Los Angeles classification grade C esophagitis. There was a significant difference in the incidence of reflux esophagitis for patients before and after surgery ( P<0.05). (2) Clinical manifestations of reflux esophagitis and treatment. The 5 patients with preoperative reflux esophagitis described with no obvious heartburn and acid regurgitation and did not receive treat-ment. For the 35 patients with postoperative reflux esophagitis, 22 cases described with heartburn and acid regurgitation, and 13 cases described without any symptoms. Of the 35 patients, 10 were treated with continuous oral proton pump inhibitors, 2 were treated with intermittent oral proton pump inhibitors, 10 were relieved by dietary adjustment, and 13 were not treated. For the 95 patients without postoperative reflux esophagitis, 5 cases described with heartburn and acid regurgitation, requiring continuous oral proton pump inhibitor treatment. The remaining 90 cases described no heartburn and acid regurgitation and did not receive treatment. (3) Influencing factors of reflux esophagitis after surgery. Results of multivariate analysis showed that the preoperative reflux diagnostic questionnaire scoring >0 and the occurrence of postoperative heartburn and acid regurgi-tation were independent risk factors of postoperative reflux esophagitis ( odds ratio=7.84, 47.16, 95% confidence interval as 2.04?30.20, 11.58?192.11, P<0.05). (4) Follow-up. All 130 patients were followed up for 17(range, 12?60)month after surgery. The BMI, percentage of total weight loss, diabetes remission rate, fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin of the 130 patients at postoperative 12 month were (25±4)kg/m 2, 31%±8%, 84.6%(22/26), (5.6±1.2)mmol/L and 5.9%±1.3%. Conclusions:The sleeve gastrectomy and its plus procedures increase the risk of postoperative reflux esophagitis. Preoperative reflux diagnostic questionnaire scoring>0 and the occurrence of postoperative heartburn and acid regurgitation are independent risk factors of postoperative reflux esophagitis. Dietary adjustment and proton pump inhibitor therapy can alleviate symptoms of reflux esophagitis, but cannot cure reflux esophagitis.

Objective:To explore the effect of abdominal breathing exercises at different periods on the gastrointestinal symptoms, quality of life and proton pump inhibitor dependency in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). To provide reference for patients to choose the best time for abdominal breathing exercises.Methods:This was a prospective study. From March 2020 to December 2021, totally 108 GERD patients were collected in digestive outpatient clinic of Yibin Hospital of Chinese Medicine Hospital by convenient sampling method, they were randomly divided into pre meal group, 1 h postprandial group and 2 h postprandial group with 36 cases in each group. All patients in the three groups were given abdominal breathing training for 8 weeks on the basis of conventional acid suppression drug treatment and nursing. The training time of pre meal group, 1 h postprandial group and 2 h postprandial group was at 30 min before meal, 1 h after meal, 2 h after meal, respectively. Before and after 8 weeks of intervention, the difference of gastrointestinal symptoms and quality of life were assessed by Reflux Disease Ouestionnaire (RDQ) and the MOS 36 Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Patients followed up for 12 weeks after drug withdrawal, the medication of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) between three groups were compared.Results:There was no significant difference in RDQ score and SF-36 score among the three groups before intervention ( P>0.05). After intervention, the symptom scores were (7.89 ± 1.86) in the 1 h postprandial group, lower than in the pre meal group (10.38 ± 1.81) and in the 2 h postprandial group (9.64 ± 1.65), the difference was statistically significant ( t = 5.83, 4.06, both P<0.01). The scores of each demensions in SF-36 were higher in the 1 h postprandial group compared to the pre meal group and the 2 h postprandial group, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.04-3.70, all P<0.05). After followed up for 12 weeks, the PPI discontinuation rate was 71.43% in the 1 h postprandial group, higher than in the pre meal group 44.12% and in the 2 h postprandial group 45.45%, the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 5.28, 4.73, both P<0.05). Conclusions:Abdominal breathing exercises at 1 hour after meal can effectively alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms, promote quality of life and decrease the proton pump inhibitor dependency of GERD patients.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and adverse effects of Shugan Hewei prescription combined with vonoprazan in the treatment of refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease （RGERD） due to qi depression and phlegm obstruction. MethodEighty RGERD patients who met the inclusion criteria underwent 24-hour pH impedance and high-resolution esophageal manometry and electronic gastroscopy. The 80 patients were randomly assigned to an observation group （Shugan Hewei prescription， one bag each time， twice a day + vonoprazan， 20 mg each time， once a day） and a control group （vonoprazan， 20 mg each time， once a day） by the random number table method. The treatment in both groups lasted for 4 weeks. The clinical efficacy was examined. The scores of TCM symptoms （pharyngeal discomforts such as phlegm obstruction， retrosternal discomfort， and belching）， somatic symptoms， quality of life， and improvement of esophageal mucosa under gastroscopy were observed in both groups before treatment and after treatment for 2 and 4 weeks. ResultSeventy-five patients completed the trial were included in this study， including 38 patients in the observation group and 37 patients in the control group. The total response rate in the observation group was 89.47%（34/38）， which was higher than that （62.16%，23/37） in the control group （χ2=13.014， P<0.01）. After treatment， the scores of esophageal mucous membrane， reflux disease symptoms， TCM symptoms， gastroesophageal reflux disease health-related quality of life scale （GERD-HRQL）， and somatic self-rating scale （SSS） decreased in both groups（P<0.05）. Moreover， the observation group outperformed the control group in alleviating heartburn， acid reflux， throat discomforts， midnight coughing， nausea and dry vomiting， mucousy mouth， and insomnia in the patients with GERD （P<0.05，P<0.01）. However， the two groups showed no statistically significant differences in the improvement of esophageal mucosa after treatment. ConclusionThe combination of Shugan Hewei prescription with vonoprazan was superior to vonoprazan alone in treating RGERD regarding clinical symptoms， physical signs， quality of life， and somatic symptoms， without causing obvious adverse effects.
摘要
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy characterized by simple operation and few postoperative complications have gradually become the two most commonly used surgical methods in clinical practice.A series of complications often occur after bariatric surgery,including gallstone disease,anemia,malnutrition,gastroesophageal reflux disease,kidney stones,and birth defects in offspring of women of childbearing age.There are controversies regarding the causes and countermeasures of these complications.This article mainly reviews the risk factors and countermeasures for the complications after bariatric surgery.

Abstract Objective: To establish if the Reflux Symptom Index (RFI) and the Reflux Finding Score (RFC) can help establish the differential diagnosis in patients with distinct causes of chronic laryngopharyngitis. Methods: A group of 102 adult patients with chronic laryngopharyngitis (Group A - 37 patients with allergic rhinitis; Group B - 22 patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA); Group C -43 patients with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR)) were prospectively studied. Chronic laryngitis was diagnosed based on suggestive symptoms and videolaryngoscopic signs (RSI ≥ 13 and RFS ≥7). Allergies were confirmed by a positive serum RAST, OSA was diagnosed with a positive polysomnography, and LPR with a positive impedance-PH study. Discriminant function analysis was used to determine if the combination of RSI and RFS scores could differentiate between groups. Results: Patients with respiratory allergies and those with LPR showed similar and significantly higher RSI scores when compared to that of patients with OSA (p < 0.001); Patients with OSA and those with LPR showed similar and significantly higher RFS scores when compared to that of patients with Respiratory Allergies (OSA vs. Allergies p < 0.001; LPR vs. Allergies p < 0.002). The combination of both scores held a higher probability of diagnosing OSA (72.73%) and Allergies (64.86%) than diagnosing LPR (51.16%). Conclusions: RSI and RFS are not specific for reflux laryngitis and are more likely to induce a false diagnosis if not used with diligence.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of histopathological and histomorphometric features in oesophageal biopsy of patients presenting with symptoms of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). Material and Methods: Present study included 42 patients and 12 controls. Complete clinical evaluation followed by endoscopic examination of the patients was done and multipleoesophageal biopsies were taken. Biopsies were processed routinely and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin and examined for any changes related to GERD. Morphometric assessment was done by using Leitz optical micrometer. The histological scoring was done based on the parameters: basal cell hyperplasia, stromal papillae elongation, cells with irregular nuclear contour (CINC), eosinophilic infiltrate, gastric and intestinal metaplasia. A numerical score was assigned to each parameter and sum of these scores represented the total score. Statistics: The statistical analysis was done using graph pad prism, Medcalc software and Windows MS office. P value and mean standard deviation (SD) was calculated. Results: The endoscopic findings of all the controls and 83.33% of patients were normal. Only 16.67% of patients had reflux associated changes of varying grades on endoscopy. Oesophageal biopsy of all patients had changes related to GERD on histology. Immunohistochemistry confirmed that cells with irregular nuclear contour were T- lymphocytes. The mean (SD) histological scoring of control and patients were 1.75 (0.62) and 5.66 (1.31) respectively. The difference was considered to be statistically significant (P < 0.001). Thus, it was suggested that a cut-off of histological score > 3 can be used to indicate GERD. Conclusion: Patients with gastroesophageal reflux symptoms can have normal endoscopic findings but can be diagnosed on the basis of histological changes in the squamous epithelium. Scoring of the histopathological parameters along with the cut-off value can give a definitive diagnosis of GERD.
摘要
Resumen Introducción: Una encuesta nacional en población abierta mostró que la enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofágico (ERGE) tiene alta prevalencia en México. Objetivo: Comparar la eficacia y seguridad de dos isómeros, dexrabeprazol (10 mg) versus esomeprazol (20 mg), en el tratamiento de la ERGE durante cuatro semanas. Métodos: Ensayo clínico fase III, aleatorizado, multicéntrico, prospectivo, doble ciego, en dos grupos que incluyeron 230 pacientes. Resultados: Con ambos tratamientos se observó disminución estadísticamente significativa en la severidad de los síntomas de ERGE (pirosis, regurgitación, dolor epigástrico y disfagia), evaluados mediante una escala visual análoga. La puntuación promedio de dexrabeprazol en el Cuestionario de Carlsson-Dent a los 28 días fue de 2.12 y la de esomeprazol de 3.02. Ambos tratamientos fueron efectivos, sin diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p < 0.05). En el Cuestionario de Salud SF-36 se observó que ambos mejoraron la puntuación en la calidad de vida, sin diferencia significativa. Ambos medicamentos fueron bien tolerados y el perfil de incidencia de eventos adversos fue bajo. Conclusiones: En el tratamiento de ERGE no erosiva, el uso de 10 mg/día de dexrabeprazol es tan efectivo como 20 mg/día de esomeprazol, con la ventaja de que la dosis es menor con un adecuado perfil de seguridad.
Abstract Introduction: A national survey in the general population showed that gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is highly prevalent in Mexico. Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of two isomers, dexrabeprazole (10 mg) vs. esomeprazole (20 mg), in the treatment of GERD for four weeks. Methods: Randomized, multicenter, prospective, double-blind phase III clinical trial in two groups that included 230 patients. Results: A statistically significant decrease in the severity of GERD symptoms (heartburn, regurgitation, epigastric pain and dysphagia), evaluated using a visual analogue scale, was observed with both treatments. Mean score for dexrabeprazole on Carlsson-Dent questionnaire at 28 days was 2.12, and for esomeprazole, 3.02. Both treatments were effective, with no statistically significant difference being recorded (p < 0.05). On SF-36 health questionnaire, both were observed to improve the quality-of-life score, with no significant difference being identified. Both drugs were well tolerated, and the adverse event incidence profile was low. Conclusions: In the treatment of non-erosive GERD, the use of dexrabeprazole at 10 mg/day is as effective as esomeprazole 20 mg/day, with the advantage that the dose is lower with an appropriate safety profile.
