RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The aim of the present study was to examine the lifestyle- and comorbidity-related determinant factors of the prescription of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for patients in whom Helicobacter pylori has been eradicated, and to evaluate the relationship between PPI prescription and the severity of endoscopic esophagitis. METHODS: This retrospective study included patients who underwent H. pylori eradication from May 2012 to September 2016 at Saiseikai Karatsu Hospital. All patients received upper gastrointestinal endoscopy before H. pylori eradication. Patients with open peptic ulcers and/or malignant diseases were excluded, and a final total of 389 patients were evaluated. Medical records were reviewed to determine the prescription of PPIs after H. pylori eradication, lifestyle-related factors, and comorbidities. Lifestyle-related factors were confirmed by a questionnaire. RESULTS: PPIs were administered to 124 of 389 patients (31.9%). The only lifestyle-related risk factor for the prescription of PPIs after H. pylori eradication was older age (P < 0.01). Hypertension increased the prescription of PPIs (P = 0.034). The prescription of PPIs was not influenced by the presence of grade A esophagitis, whereas the PPI prescription rate was significantly increased in patients with grades B/C/D endoscopic esophagitis (P < 0.01). The grade of chronic gastritis before H. pylori eradication had no effect on the prescription of PPIs. CONCLUSION: The lifestyle- and comorbidity-related risk factors for the prescription of PPIs after H. pylori eradication were older age and hypertension, while mild endoscopic esophagitis had no influence on PPI prescription.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of patients without Helicobacter pylori infection who were prescribed antacid medications (potassium-competitive acid blockers, proton pump inhibitors, and/or H2 receptor antagonist) and had no upper gastrointestinal lesions detected by endoscopy. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included the patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in our institution between August 2017 and July 2018. They were aged from 55 to 89 years, had no upper gastrointestinal lesions detected by endoscopy, and no H. pylori infection. Exclusion criteria comprised low-dose aspirin and/or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The subjects were allocated to middle-aged (55-69 years) and older age groups (70-89 years). The relationships between antacid medications and patient lifestyle and comorbidities were evaluated by multivariate analyses. RESULTS: Of the 420 patients, 272 were in the middle-aged group and 148 patients in the older age group. Age was found to be a risk factor for antacid medications in both groups (p = 0.002, p = 0.007). No other lifestyle related factors were risk factors. As to comorbidities, hiatal hernia was positively associated with antacid medications in the middle-aged group (p = 0.002). Hypertension and Ca-blockers were positively associated with prescription of antacids in the older age group (p = 0.013); this association was not significant in the middle-aged group. CONCLUSIONS: Three lifestyle-related and/or comorbidity-associated factors known to exacerbate gastroesophageal reflux, namely, age, hiatus hernia, and Ca-blockers, were associated with prescription of antacid medications, even in patients without endoscopic reflux esophagitis.

RESUMO

This report presents the case of a 54-year-old man who had undergone restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis 15 years previously because of acute severe ulcerative colitis. After the operation, he experienced recalcitrant pouchitis and recurrent ulcer bleeding. There was a marked improvement in his symptoms following the administration of twice-daily budesonide 2mg foam injection for two months. Budesonide foam is suggested as a new therapy for pouchitis.

RESUMO

Background and Aims: No reports have described the immunogenicity and boosting effect of the quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (QIV) in adults with inflammatory bowel disease. Methods: Adults with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis were randomly assigned to a single vaccination group or booster group, and a QIV was administered subcutaneously. Serum samples were collected before vaccination, 4 weeks after vaccination, and after the influenza season in the single vaccination group. In the booster group, serum samples were taken before vaccination, 4 weeks after the first vaccination, 4 weeks after the second vaccination, and after the influenza season. We measured hemagglutination inhibition antibody (HAI) titer and calculated the geometric mean titer ratio (GMTR), seroprotection rate, and seroconversion rate. Results: In total, 132 patients were enrolled. Twenty-two patients received immunomodulatory monotherapy and 16 received anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (anti-TNF-α) single-agent therapy. Fifteen patients received combination therapy comprising an immunosuppressant and anti-TNF-α agent. Each vaccine strain showed immunogenicity satisfying the European Medicines Agency criteria with a single inoculation. The booster influenza vaccination did not induce additional response. In patients administered infliximab, the seroprotection rate and seroconversion rate tended to be lower in patients who maintained blood concentrations [seroprotection rate: H1N1: OR, 0.37 (95% CI, 0.11-1.21); H3N2: 0.22 (0.07-0.68); seroconversion rate: H1N1: 0.23 (0.06-0.91); H3N2: 0.19 (0.06-0.56)]. Conclusion: Single dose QIV showed sufficient immunogenicity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, and a boost in immunization by additional vaccination was not obtained. Additionally, immunogenicity was low in patients receiving infliximab therapy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Bleeding from a colonic diverticulum is serious in aged patients. The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors for high-cost hospitalization of colonic diverticular bleeding using the diagnosis procedure combination (DPC) data. METHODS: From January 2009 to December 2015, 78 patients with colonic diverticular bleeding were identified by DPC data in Saga Medical School Hospital. All patients underwent colonic endoscopy within 3 days. The patients were divided into 2 groups: the low-cost group (DPC cost of <500,000 yen) and the high-cost group (DPC cost of >500,000 yen). RESULTS: Univariate analysis revealed that aging, hypertension, rebleeding, a low hemoglobin concentration at admission, and blood transfusion were risk factors for high hospitalization cost. Multivariate analysis revealed that rebleeding (OR 5.3; 95% CI 1.3-21.3; p = 0.017) and blood transfusion (OR 3.8; 95% CI 1.01-14.2; p = 0.048) were definite risk factors for high hospitalization cost. CONCLUSION: Rebleeding and blood transfusion were related to high hospitalization cost for colonic diverticular bleeding.

RESUMO

We herein report a case of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) complicated with triple primary cancers. The patient was diagnosed with CCS at 65 years of age. At 76 years of age, one of his colon polyps was diagnosed as adenocarcinoma. At 81 years of age, gastric carcinoma was detected. Weight loss and fatigue appeared one month before he visited our hospital. An examination revealed dilatation of the intrahepatic bile duct. Cholangiocarcinoma was diagnosed as a result of bile duct cytology. Patients with CCS should be monitored carefully for carcinoma of systemic organs as well as the gastrointestinal tract.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/AIMS: This study aimed at (i) clarifying the factors associated with high scores on the modified frequency scale for the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (FSSG) among 3,505 relatively healthy subjects undergoing routine medical health checkups with gastrointestinal endoscopy and (ii) comparing risk factors for high FSSG scores between subjects with and without reflux esophagitis. METHODS: In total, 3,505 subjects (male/female: 1,922/1,583) who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy during health medical checkups at 5 hospitals in Saga, Japan from January 2013 to December 2013 were enrolled. All subjects completed a modified FSSG questionnaire, which comprised 7 questions regarding reflux symptoms and 7 questions regarding acid-related dyspepsia. Each question was assigned a score based on the frequency of symptoms. RESULTS: Younger age, female gender, hiatal herniation, and endoscopic reflux esophagitis were risk factors for a FSSG score with a high total. Subjects with high scores but without esophagitis were women, and hiatal herniation and Barrett's esophagus were frequently seen in patients with reflux esophagitis. CONCLUSION: Younger age, female gender, hiatal hernia, and endoscopic esophagitis were risk factors for a high FSSG score, and women tended to complain of upper gastrointestinal symptoms more frequently than did men among subjects without endoscopic esophagitis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a standard treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC) without lymph node metastasis. However, some patients undergo noncurative ESD. The aim of the present study was to assess the long-term clinical outcomes of noncurative ESD with or without additional surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We investigated the chart data from all patients who had undergone ESD for EGC at Saga Medical School Hospital and Saga Prefectural Medical Centre Koseikan between 2001 and 2012. A total of 957 cases (1047 lesions) of EGC underwent ESD, and 99 had noncurative ESD. In total, 20 cases were excluded because their follow-up period was < 3 years. We divided the patients into observation and additional surgery groups, and we compared the survival rate and related factors between the groups. RESULTS: After noncurative ESD, 28 /79 patients (35.4 %) underwent additional surgery and 51/79 (64.6 %) were followed up without surgery. The average age of patients in the observation group was higher than that of the additional surgery group (75.9 vs. 71.6 years; P = 0.03). The incidence of hypertension was significantly higher in the observation group compared with the additional surgery group (51.0 vs. 25.9 %; P = 0.03). The overall survival rate of the additional surgery group was longer than that of the observation group. However, only one patient died from gastric cancer in the observation group. The disease-specific survival rate did not differ significantly between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: It might be acceptable to follow up without additional surgery for some patients with comorbidity and who were elderly after noncurative ESD for EGC.
