| 1 | Chronic functional constipation is strongly linked to vitamin D deficiency显示文摘BACKGROUND Few studies have examined intestinal motility disorders, which are disabling conditions associated with chronic functional constipation, whose pathogenesis is actually not well-defined.AIM To investigate the relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and functional chronic constipation associated to intestinal motility disorders.METHODS We performed a prospective case-control study, from May-June to November2017. Glucose/lactulose breath tests, radiopaque markers(multiple capsule techniques) and wireless motility capsule analysis were used to assess colonicand oro-cecal transit time, after excluding small-intestinal bacterial overgrowth condition. Then, we measured 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in patients with intestinal motility disorders and we further evaluated the influence of intestinal motility disorders on psychological symptoms/quality of life using validated questionnaires, the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Quality of life(IBS-QOL), the Short Form Health Survey 12, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale 14(HADS-14 A and HADS-14 D).RESULTS We enrolled 86 patients with chronic functional constipation associated to intestinal motility disorders and 86 matched healthy subjects. Patients with intestinal motility disorders had lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels(P < 0.001), and they showed a significant impairment of all health-related quality of life and psychological tests(IBS-QOL, Short Form Health Survey 12-Physical Component Summary, Short Form Health Survey 12-Mental Component Summary, HADS-14 A and HADS-14 D), as compared to the control group(P < 0.001), which significantly correlated with low vitamin D levels(r =-0.57, P < 0.001; r = 0.21, P = 0.01; r =-0.48, P < 0.001; r =-0.57, P < 0.001; r =-0.29, P < 0.001, respectively). At multivariate analysis vitamin D low levels remained a significant independent risk factor for the occurrence of intestinal motility disorder(odds ratio = 1.19; 95% confidence interval: 1.14-1.26, P < 0.001).CONCLUSION Vitamin D deficiency, anxiety and depression symptoms are commonly associated with chronic functional constipation induced by intestinal motility disorders. Vitamin D serum levels should be routinely measured in these patients. | Alba Panarese Francesco Pesce Piero Porcelli Giuseppe Riezzo Palma Aurelia Iacovazzi Carla Maria Leone Massimo De Carne Caterina Mammone Rinaldi Endrit Shahini | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,14: | 8 |

| 4 | Helicobacter pylori-induced inflammation masks the underlying presence of low-grade dysplasia on gastric lesions显示文摘BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)infection has been associated with a long-term risk of precancerous gastric conditions(PGC)even after H.pylori eradication.AIM To investigate the efficacy of High-Resolution White-Light Endoscopy with Narrow-Band Imaging in detecting PGC,before/after H.pylori eradication.METHODS We studied 85 consecutive patients with H.pylori-related gastritis with/without PGC before and 6 mo after proven H.pylori eradication.Kimura-Takemoto modified and endoscopic grading of gastric intestinal metaplasia classifications,were applied to assess the endoscopic extension of atrophy and intestinal metaplasia.The histological result was considered to be the gold standard.The Sydney System,the Operative-Link on Gastritis-Assessment,and the Operative-Link on Gastric-Intestinal Metaplasia were used for defining histological gastritis,atrophy and intestinal metaplasia,whereas dysplasia was graded according to World Health Organization classification.Serum anti-parietal cell antibody and anti-intrinsic factor were measured when autoimmune atrophic gastritis was suspected.RESULTS After H.pylori eradication histological signs of mononuclear/polymorphonuclear cell infiltration and Mucosal Associated Lymphoid Tissue-hyperplasia,disappeared or decreased in 100%and 96.5%of patients respectively,whereas the Operative-Link on Gastritis-Assessment and Operative-Link on Gastric-Intestinal Metaplasia stages did not change.Low-Grade Dysplasia prevalence was similar on random biopsies before and after H.pylori eradication(17.6%vs 10.6%,P=0.19),but increased in patients with visible lesions(0%vs 22.4%,P<0.0001).At a multivariate analysis,the probability for detecting dysplasia after resolution of H.pylori-related active inflammation was higher in patients with regression or reduction of Mucosal Associated Lymphoid Tissue hyperplasia,greater alcohol consumption,and anti-parietal cell antibody and/or anti-intrinsic factor positivity[odds ratio(OR)=3.88,95%confidence interval(CI):1.31-11.49,P=0.01;OR=3.10,95%CI:1.05-9.12,P=0.04 and OR=5.47,95%CI:1.33-22.39,P<0.04,respectively].CONCLUSION High-Resolution White-Light Endoscopy with Narrow-Band Imaging allows an accurate diagnosis of Low-Grade Dysplasia on visible lesions after regression of H.pylori-induced chronic gastritis.Patients with an overlap between autoimmune/H.pylori-induced gastritis may require more extensive gastric mapping. | Alba Panarese Giovanni Galatola Raffaele Armentano Pedro Pimentel-Nunes Enzo Ierardi Maria Lucia Caruso Francesco Pesce Marco Vincenzo Lenti Valeria Palmitessa Sergio Coletta Endrit Shahini | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,26: | 0 |
