| 1 | Esophageal motility abnormalities in gastroesophageal reflux disease显示文摘Esophageal motility abnormalities are among the main factors implicated in the pathogenesis of gastroesophageal reflux disease. The recent introduction in clinical and research practice of novel esophageal testing has markedly improved our understanding of the mechanisms contributing to the development of gastroesophageal reflux disease, allowing a better management of patients with this disorder. In this context, the present article intends to provide an overview of the current literature about esophageal motility dysfunctions in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. Esophageal manometry, by recording intraluminal pressure, represents the gold standard to diagnose esophagealmotility abnormalities. In particular, using novel techniques, such as high resolution manometry with or without concurrent intraluminal impedance monitoring, transient lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxations, hypotensive LES, ineffective esophageal peristalsis and bolus transit abnormalities have been better defined and strongly implicated in gastroesophageal reflux disease development. Overall, recent findings suggest that esophageal motility abnormalities are increasingly prevalent with increasing severity of reflux disease, from nonerosive reflux disease to erosive reflux disease and Barrett's esophagus. Characterizing esophageal dysmotility among different subgroups of patients with reflux disease may represent a fundamental approach to properly diagnose these patients and, thus, to set up the best therapeutic management. Currently, surgery represents the only reliable way to restore the esophagogastric junction integrity and to reduce transient LES relaxations that are considered to be the predominant mechanism by which gastric contents can enter the esophagus. On that ground, more in depth future studies assessing the pathogenetic role of dysmotility in patients with reflux disease are warranted. | Irene Martinucci Nicola de Bortoli Maria Giacchino Giorgia Bodini Elisa Marabotto Santino Marchi Vincenzo Savarino Edoardo Savarino | 2014 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pharmacology and Therapeutics2014，5，2： | 24 |
| 2 | How many cases of laryngopharyngeal reflux suspected by laryngoscopy are gastroesophageal reflux disease-related?显示文摘AIM:To investigate the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD) in patients with a laryngoscopic diagnosis of laryngopharyngeal reflux(LPR).METHODS:Between May 2011 and October 2011,41 consecutive patients with laryngopharyngeal symptoms(LPS) and laryngoscopic diagnosis of LPR were empirically treated with proton pump inhibitors(PPIs) for at least 8 wk,and the therapeutic outcome was assessed through validated questionnaires(GERD impact scale,GIS;visual analogue scale,VAS).LPR diagnosis was performed by ear,nose and throat specialists using the reflux finding score(RFS) and reflux symptom index(RSI).After a 16-d wash-out from PPIs,all patients underwent an upper endoscopy,stationary esophageal manometry,24-h multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH(MII-pH) esophageal monitoring.A positive correlation between LPR diagnosis and GERD was supposed based on the presence of esophagitis(ERD),pathological acid exposure time(AET) in the absence of esophageal erosions(NERD),and a positive correlation between symptoms and refluxes(hypersensitive esophagus,HE).RESULTS:The male/female ratio was 0.52(14/27),the mean age ± SD was 51.5 ± 12.7 years,and the mean body mass index was 25.7 ± 3.4 kg/m 2.All subjects reported one or more LPS.Twenty-five out of 41 patients also had typical GERD symptoms(heartburn and/or regurgitation).The most frequent laryngoscopic findings were posterior laryngeal hyperemia(38/41),linear indentation in the medial edge of the vocal fold(31/41),vocal fold nodules(6/41) and diffuse infraglottic oedema(25/41).The GIS analysis showed that 10/41 patients reported symptom relief with PPI therapy(P < 0.05);conversely,23/41 did not report any clinical improvement.At the same time,the VAS analysis showed a significant reduction in typical GERD symptoms after PPI therapy(P < 0.001).A significant reduction in LPS symptoms.On the other hand,such result was not recorded for LPS.Esophagitis was detected in 2/41 patients,and ineffective esophageal motility was found in 3/41 patients.The MII-pH analysis showed an abnormal AET in 5/41 patients(2 ERD and 3 NERD);11/41 patients had a normal AET and a positive association between symptoms and refluxes(HE),and 25/41 patients had a normal AET and a negative association between symptoms and refluxes(no GERD patients).It is noteworthy that HE patients had a positive association with typical GERD-related symptoms.Gas refluxes were found more frequently in patients with globus(29.7 ± 3.6) and hoarseness(21.5 ± 7.4) than in patients with heartburn or regurgitation(7.8 ± 6.2).Gas refluxes were positively associated with extraesophageal symptoms(P < 0.05).Overall,no differences were found among the three groups of patients in terms of the frequency of laryngeal signs.The proximal reflux was abnormal in patients with ERD/NERD only.The differences observed by means of MII-pH analysis among the three subgroups of patients(ERD/NERD,HE,no GERD) were not demonstrated with the RSI and RFS.Moreover,only the number of gas refluxes was found to have a significant association with the RFS(P = 0.028 andP = 0.026,nominal and numerical correlation,respectively).CONCLUSION:MII-pH analysis confirmed GERD diagnosis in less than 40% of patients with previous diagnosis of LPR,most likely because of the low specificity of the laryngoscopic findings. | Nicola de Bortoli Andrea Nacci Edoardo Savarino Irene Martinucci Massimo Bellini Bruno Fattori Linda Ceccarelli Francesco Costa Maria Gloria Mumolo Angelo Ricchiuti Vincenzo Savarino Stefano Berrettini Santino Marchi | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012，18，32： | 11 |
| 3 | Overlap of functional heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease with irritable bowel syndrome显示文摘Several studies indicate a significant degree of overlap between irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)and gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD).Likewise,both functional heartburn(FH)and IBS are functional digestive disorders that may occur in the same patients.However,data establishing a solid link between FH and IBS are lacking,mainly because the clinical definition of FH has undergone substantial changes over the years.The available literature on the overlap between GERD or FH and IBS highlights considerable heterogeneity in terms of the criteria and diagnostic procedures used to assess heartburn and IBS.In particular,several epidemiological studies included patients with concomitant IBS and GERD without any attempt to distinguish FH(as defined by the RomeⅢcriteria)from GERD via pathophysiological investigations.Independent of these critical issues,there is preliminary evidence supporting a significantdegree of FH-IBS overlap.This underscores the need for studies based on updated diagnostic criteria and accurate pathophysiological classifications,particularly to distinguish FH from GERD.This distinction would represent an essential starting point to achieving a better understanding of pathophysiology in the subclasses of patients with GERD and FH and properly assessing the different degrees of overlap between IBS and the subcategories of heartburn.The present review article intends to appraise and critically discuss current evidence supporting a possible concomitance of GERD or FH with IBS in the same patients and to highlight the pathophysiological relationships between these disorders. | Nicola de Bortoli Irene Martinucci Massimo Bellini Edoardo Savarino Vincenzo Savarino Corrado Blandizzi Santino Marchi | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，35： | 9 |
| 4 | Esophageal testing: What we have so far显示文摘Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD) is a common disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. In the last few decades, new technologies have evolved and have been applied to the functional study of the esophagus, allowing for the improvement of our knowledge of the pathophysiology of GERD. High-resolution manometry(HRM) permits greater understanding of the function of the esophagogastric junction and the risks associated with hiatal hernia. Moreover, HRM has been found to be more reproducible and sensitive than conventional water-perfused manometry to detect the presence of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation. Esophageal 24-h p H-metry with or without combined impedance is usually performed in patients with negative endoscopy and reflux symptoms who have a poor response to anti-reflux medical therapy to assess esophageal acid exposure and symptom-reflux correlations. In particular, esophageal 24-h impedance and p H monitoring can detect acid and non-acid reflux events. Endo FLIP is a recent technique poorly applied in clinical practice, although it provides a large amount of information about the esophagogastric junction. In the coming years, laryngopharyngeal symptoms could be evaluated with up and coming non-invasive or minimally invasive techniques, such as pepsin detection in saliva or pharyngeal p H-metry. Future studies are required of these techniques to evaluate their diagnostic accuracy and usefulness, although the available data are promising. | Nicola de Bortoli Irene Martinucci Lorenzo Bertani Salvatore Russo Riccardo Franchi Manuele Furnari Salvatore Tolone Giorgia Bodini Valeria Bolognesi Massimo Bellini Vincenzo Savarino Santino Marchi Edoardo Vincenzo Savarino | 2016 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology2016，7，1： | 8 |

| 7 | Barrett's esophagus in 2016: From pathophysiology to treatment显示文摘Esophageal complications caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)include reflux esophagitis and Barrett’s esophagus(BE).BE is a premalignant condition with an increased risk of developing esophageal adeno-carcinoma(EAC).The carcinogenic sequence may progress through several steps,from normal esophageal mucosa through BE to EAC.A recent advent of functional esophageal testing(particularly multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH monitoring)has helped to improve our knowledge about GERD pathophysiology,including its complications.Those findings(when properly confirmed)might help to predict BE neoplastic progression.Over the last few decades,the incidence of EAC has continued to rise in Western populations.However,only a minority of BE patients develop EAC,opening the debate regarding the cost-effectiveness of current screening/surveillance strategies.Thus,major efforts in clinical and research practice are focused on new methods for optimal risk assessment that can stratify BE patients at low or high risk of developing EAC,which should improve the cost effectiveness of screening/surveillance programs and consequently significantly affect health-care costs.Furthermore,the area of BE therapeutic management is rapidly evolving.Endoscopic eradication therapies have been shown to be effective,and new therapeutic options for BE and EAC have emerged.The aim of the present review article is to highlight the status of screening/surveillance programs and the current progress of BE therapy.Moreover,we discuss the recent introduction of novel esophageal pathophysiological exams that have improved the knowledge of the mechanisms linking GERD to BE. | Irene Martinucci Nicola de Bortoli Salvatore Russo Lorenzo Bertani Manuele Furnari Anna Mokrowiecka Ewa Malecka-Panas Vincenzo Savarino Edoardo Savarino Santino Marchi | 2016 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pharmacology and Therapeutics2016，7，2： | 1 |

| 10 | Alginate controls heartburn in patients with erosive and nonerosive reflux disease显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the effect of a novel alginate-based compound,Faringel,in modifying reflux characteristics and controlling symptoms.METHODS:In this prospective,open-label study,40 patients reporting heartburn and regurgitation with proven reflux disease(i.e.,positive impedance-pH test/evidence of erosive esophagitis at upper endoscopy) underwent 2 h impedance-pH testing after eating a refluxogenic meal.They were studied for 1 h under basal conditions and 1 h after taking 10 mL Faringel.In both sessions,measurements were obtained in right lateral and supine decubitus positions.Patients also completed a validated questionnaire consisting of a 2-item 5-point(0-4) Likert scale and a 10-cm visual analogue scale(VAS) in order to evaluate the efficacy of Faringel in symptom relief.Tolerability of the treatment was assessed using a 6-point Likert scale ranging from very good(1) to very poor(6).RESULTS:Faringel decreased significantly(P < 0.001),in both the right lateral and supine decubitus positions,esophageal acid exposure time [median 10(25th75th percentil 6-16) vs 5.8(4-10) and 16(11-19) vs 7.5(5-11),respectively] and acid refluxes [5(3-8) vs 1(1-1) and 6(4-8) vs 2(1-2),respectively],but increased significantly(P < 0.01) the number of nonacid reflux events compared with baseline [2(1-3)vs 3(2-5) and 3(2-4) vs 6(3-8),respectively].Percentage of proximal migration decreased in both decubitus positions(60% vs 32% and 64% vs 35%,respectively;P < 0.001).Faringel was significantly effective in controlling heartburn,based on both the Likert scale [3.1(range 1-4) vs 0.9(0-2);P < 0.001] and VAS score [7.1(3-9.8) vs 2(0.1-4.8);P < 0.001],but it had less success against regurgitation,based on both the Likert scale [2.6(1-4) vs 2.2(1-4);P = not significant(NS)] and VAS score [5.6(2-9.6) vs 3.9(1-8.8);P = NS].Overall,the tolerability of Faringel was very good 5(2-6),with only two patients reporting modest adverse events(i.e.,nausea and bloating).CONCLUSION:Our findings demonstrate that Faringel is well-tolerated and effective in reducing heartburn by modifying esophageal acid exposure time,number of acid refluxes and their proximal migration. | Edoardo Savarino Nicola de Bortoli Patrizia Zentilin Irene Martinucci Luca Bruzzone Manuele Furnari Santino Marchi Vincenzo Savarino | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012，18，32： | 0 |
