    Notes: Background : The high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori resistance to metronidazole demands treatments more effective than standard bismuth-based triple therapy against these strains.Aim : To evaluate the H. pylori eradication rate in both metronidazole-sensitive and -resistant strains following quadruple therapy using single-triple capsules of bismuth biskalcitrate, metronidazole and tetracycline, given with omeprazole.Methods : One hundred and seventy valid patients with duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer or non-ulcer dyspepsia were treated in eight centres located in five countries. H. pylori was confirmed at baseline using 13C-urea breath test, histology and/or culture. Patients received three single-triple capsules q.i.d. and omeprazole, 20 mg b.d., for 10 days. Each capsule contained bismuth biskalcitrate, 140 mg (as 40 mg Bi2O3 equivalent), metronidazole, 125 mg, and tetracycline, 125 mg. 13C-Urea breath test was repeated at least 4 and 8 weeks post-treatment.Results : Overall eradication rates were 93% (158/170) by modified intention-to-treat analysis and 97% (142/146) by per protocol analysis. Eradication rates were 93% (40/43) and 95% (38/40) for strains resistant to metronidazole and 95% (82/86) and 99% (75/76) for strains sensitive to metronidazole by modified intention-to-treat and per protocol analysis, respectively.Conclusion : This omeprazole–bismuth biskalcitrate–metronidazole–tetracycline 10-day regimen is a very effective and well-tolerated treatment, which overcomes metronidazole resistance.

    Notes: A high level of gastric acid secretion is considered to be a risk factor for reflux oesophagitis or Barrett's oesophagus. Corpus gastritis may have a protective effect on the oesophagus, because of decreased gastric acid output.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Aim:To determine if corpus gastritis is associated with reflux oesophagitis or Barrett's oesophagus.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉Methods:Three antral and two corpus biopsies were taken from consecutive patients in whom Helicobacter pylori testing was requested during endoscopy at a single centre between January 1995 and May 1997. Antral and corpus gastritis was studied by histology; H. pylori was studied by histology, culture and CLO test. A regression model was used to test for correlation between reflux oesophagitis, Barrett's oesophagus and risk factors.〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉Results:During the study period, 676 patients had biopsies taken during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Endoscopic signs of reflux oesophagitis and Barrett's oesophagus were observed in 125 and 23 patients, respectively. Corpus gastritis was found in 59% of patients without reflux oesophagitis or Barrett's oesophagus, 45% of patients with reflux oesophagitis and 30% of patients with Barrett's oesophagus. Two hundred and fifty-seven patients underwent follow-up endoscopy after H. pylori therapy. During a mean follow-up of 3 months, the incidence of reflux oesophagitis was not statistically different for patients with healing of corpus gastritis (10/98; 10%) and patients with persistent gastritis (8/97; 8%).〈section xml:id="abs1-5"〉〈title type="main"〉Conclusions:Corpus gastritis was less common in patients with an endoscopic diagnosis of reflux oesophagitis or Barrett's oesophagus.

    Notes: Triple therapies with proton pump inhibitor/ranitidine bismuth citrate (RBC), clarithromycin (C) and either amoxicillin (A) or a nitroimidazole (I) are widely accepted as treatment for Helicobacter pylori infection. However, it is not clear which of these antibiotic combinations should be preferred.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Aim:To evaluate whether there is a difference in efficacy between triple therapies with proton pump inhibitor/RBC, clarithromycin and either amoxicillin or a nitroimidazole.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉Methods:The literature was examined for randomized trials comparing proton pump inhibitor/RBC-C-A and proton pump inhibitor/RBC-C-I. Studies were grouped according to the type of acid inhibitor used (proton pump inhibitor or RBC) and differences between pooled cure rates were calculated.〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉Results:Forty-seven studies were identified: seven using RBC, 39 using proton pump inhibitor, one using both. RBC-C-I was somewhat superior to RBC-C-A, although this difference only reached statistical significance in intention-to-treat analysis. Overall, proton pump inhibitor-C-I and proton pump inhibitor-C-A were equally effective, but in nitroimidazole-susceptible strains, proton pump inhibitor-C-I performed better, in nitroimidazole-resistant strains, proton pump inhibitor-C-A performed better. No serious side-effects were reported and pooled drop-out rates were equal.〈section xml:id="abs1-5"〉〈title type="main"〉Conclusions:In general, proton pump inhibitor-C-I and proton pump inhibitor-C-A are equally effective and therefore other factors such as local prevalence of resistant strains, cost of therapy and options for second-line treatment should determine which regimen should be preferred. When using RBC, the RBC-C-I combination is somewhat superior to RBC-C-A.

    Notes: Triple therapy, combining a proton pump inhibitor with clarithromycin (C) and either amoxycillin (A) or a nitro-imidazole (I) is the standard in Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy. Recently, triple therapies based on ranitidine bismuth citrate (RBC) have emerged as an alternative. This review examines the current literature for studies directly comparing proton pump inhibitor- with RBC-based triple therapies. Seventeen studies were identified, of which three have been published as a full paper.Eradication rates in an intention-to-treat analysis ranged from 51 to 98%. No large difference in cure rates between the different regimens was demonstrated, although the RBC-I-C combination was somewhat superior. No definite conclusions could be made about the impact of metronidazole or clarithromycin resistance since only three studies performed a formal resistance analysis. No serious side-effects were reported, and dropout rates were equal for the two regimens.Both RBC- and proton pump inhibitor-based triple therapies are highly effective. If one prefers a imidazole/clarithromycin combination the evidence presented here suggests that RBC should be used instead of a proton pump inhibitor. Larger studies comparing both forms of triple therapy, using proper resistance analysis, are needed before final conclusions can be reached regarding efficacy in the setting of bacterial resistance.

    Notes: Background : The presence of the gastric pathogen, Helicobacter pylori influences acid suppression by proton pump inhibitors and treatment outcome in patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.Aim : To determine the influence of H. pylori infection on effectiveness of rabeprazole in primary and secondary care patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.Methods : Patients from primary and secondary care centres with uninvestigated gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (based on symptoms only) and investigated gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (endoscopically confirmed oesophagitis or endoscopy-negative reflux disease) were tested for H. pylori and treated with rabeprazole 20 mg once daily for 4–8 weeks in a non-randomized, multicentre, open-label study. Primary end-point for treatment effectiveness was complete resolution of both heartburn and acid regurgitation at 4–8 weeks; secondary end-point was quality of life as registered with the Psychological General Well-being Index.Results : Data of 1787 patients could be analysed; mean duration of treatment was 36.3 days. At the evaluation visit 76.9% were heartburn-free, 77.7% regurgitation-free and 71% had complete symptom resolution. Overall Psychological General Well-being Index scores improved accordingly. Treatment was equally effective in patients with or without H. pylori infection, but more effective in patients with oesophagitis when compared with symptomatic gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.Conclusions : The effectiveness of rabeprazole in gastro-oesophageal reflux disease is not affected by the presence of H. pylori infection.
