Abstract
To evaluate the efficacy of probiotics combined with quadruple therapy in treating Helicobacter pylori infection, 240 elderly H. pylori-infected patients were recruited and divided equally into control and treatment groups. The control group received quadruple therapy (rabeprazole sodium + colloidal bismuth pectin dry suspension + amoxicillin + clarithromycin), and the treatment group was given additional bifid-triple viable (probiotics composed of Enterococcus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Bifidobacterium) capsules orally. The gastric function, inflammatory cytokine levels, gastric mucosa histopathological change scores, clinical symptom scores, clinical efficacy, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Total curative effect rate was higher in the treatment group than the control group. The symptom scores of acid reflux and belching, nausea and vomiting, and epigastric pain were also lower in the treatment group than the control group. Also, the incidence of adverse reactions was lower in the treatment group (20.00%) than the control group (36.67%). Furthermore, the treatment group had higher decrease in gastric mucosa histopathological change scores, gastrin and motilin levels, and interleukin-8, and tumor necrosis factor levels than the control group. In conclusion, probiotics combined with quadruple therapy can suppress release of serum inflammatory cytokines, facilitate digestive function improvement and mucosal healing, elevate H. pylori eradication rate, and reduce therapy-related adverse reactions in H. pylori-infected patients.
期刊介绍：
Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research is an international, interdisciplinary broad-based peer reviewed scientific journal for critical evaluation of research on chemistry, biology and therapeutic applications of nutraceuticals and functional foods. The major goal of this journal is to provide peer reviewed unbiased scientific data to the decision makers in the nutraceutical and food industry to help make informed choices about development of new products.
To this end, the journal will publish two types of review articles. First, a review of preclinical research data coming largely from animal, cell culture and other experimental models. Such data will provide basis for future product development and/or human research initiatives. Second, a critical evaluation of current human experimental data to help market and deliver the product for medically proven use. This journal will also serve as a forum for nutritionists, internists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and all those interested in preventive medicine.
The common denominator of all of the topic to be covered by the journal must include nutraceuticals and/functional food. The following is an example of some specific areas that may be of interest to the journal. i) Role of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients on cardiovascular health, cancer, diabetes, ocular health, mental health, men’s health, women’s health, infant nutrition, ii) Role of herbals on human health, iii) Dietary supplements and sleep, iv) Components of diet that may have beneficial effect on human health, v) regulation of apoptosis and cell viability, vi) Isolation and characterization of bioactive components from functional foods, vii) Nutritional genomics, and viii) Nutritional proteomics.
