Abstract

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is proposed to be related with autoimmune diseases, such as Graves’ disease. This study aimed to assess the association between H. pylori infection and Graves’ disease.Method: A systematic literature review was conducted using Pubmed and Cochrane library. The quality of enrolled studies was assessed by the Critical Appraisal Skills Program Oxford. A fixed-effect model approach was used if there was no heterogeneity; otherwise, a random-effect model was used. Heterogeneity was assessed using I2. Publication bias was assessed by funnel plot. All data were analyzed using REVIEW MANAGER 5.3.Results: Six studies from Europe and Asia involving 983 patients were included. Overall H. pylori infection was significantly associated with Graves’ disease (OR = 2.7; 95% CI: 1.47-4.99; p 0.001). In subgroup analysis of 3 studies using non-serological diagnostic method, the prevalence rate of H. pylori infection was higher in Graves’ disease group (78.26% vs. 42.42%) with significant relationship (OR = 4.93; 95% CI: 3.16-7.69; p 0.00001; I2 = 0%). The Cytotoxin associated gene A (CagA) antibody prevalence was significantly higher in Graves’ disease group (46.57% vs. 20.29%; OR = 4.41; 95% CI: 2.65-7.33; p 0.00001; I2 = 56%). No publication bias was observed.Conclusion: Our study showed association between H. pylori infection and Graves’ disease. It might suggest the need of H. pylori examination in Graves’ disease patients and the impact of H. pylori eradication in the treatment of Graves’ disease.

Abstract

Pancreatic cancer is one with high mortality cancer in the world. Ninety percent of pancreatic cancer is pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Various factors is associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer including age, sex, race, genetic, history of chronic pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus, gallstone, obesity, Helicobacter pylori infection, smoking, diet, and polution exposure. A lot of cases were diagnosed in late stadium due to non-specific early clinical symptoms, and also, until now, there is no examination tool that may screen pancreatic cancer in the earliest stage. Total surgery resection is the therapy of choice in the early stadium of pancreatic cancer, and other therapy modalities are chemotherapy, radiotherapy. Combination of these modalities is frequently used in order to increase the effectiveness of therapy. Mesothelin, a surface glycoprotein on normal mesothelial cells, is overexpressed in pancreatic cancer; therefore, although it is not a cancer specific antigen, it can be used in diagnostic and treatment of pancreatic cancer. Several studies about mesothelin application in pancreatic cancer have been performed; however, more studies are needed to improve the application of mesothelin on pancreatic cancer. Keywords: pancreatic cancer, risk factor, therapy, mesothelin

Abstract

Dyspepsia is an uncomfortable sensation or pain in the upper abdomen which is persisting or recurring. Dyspepsia can be classified into functional and organic dyspepsia. Functional dyspepsia is more commonly found compared to the organic type, approximately 60%. Pharmacologic therapy in the management of functional dyspepsia has not shown optimal results, with the multifactorial etiology of functional dyspepsia as the main challenge. Therefore, the management of functional dyspepsia is widened and involves variety treatment modalities, acupuncture being one of them. Acupuncture is a way of treatment by puncturing needles to particular area on the skin to eliminate pain and treat particular diseases. Acupuncture affects stomach motility and gastric acid secretion in functional dyspepsia patients. Two acupuncture points commonly used in functional dyspepsia are ST 36 and PC 6. Acupuncture can restore gastric motility in patients with functional dyspepsia, who have gastric emptying disturbance. Besides, functional dyspepsia complaints, such as epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, burning sensation, and bloating were found to improve after acupuncture therapy. Side effects of acupuncture are not life threatening with low incidence rate. The effectiveness of acupuncture therapy compared to standard medication shows varies results. Further studies are needed to determine the characteristics of functional dyspepsia patients which could have optimal results through acupuncture therapy. Keywords: epigastric pain, gastric motility, ST 36, PC 6

Abstract

Fractures in the elderly, especially hip fractures, are a serious health problem because they increase the risk of disability and death. Nutritional status is thought to play a role in fracture risk, but the relationship between the two is still unclear. This study aims to determine the correlation between nutritional status and fracture risk using the FRAX Score. This study used a cross-sectional design with 55 elderly people as a sample, selected using total sampling. Nutritional status was measured using Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), while fracture risk was assessed using FRAX Score. Spearman correlation analysis showed a weak negative correlation between nutritional status and the risk of major fracture (r = -0.227; p = 0.096) which was not significant, but there was a significant negative correlation with the risk of hip fracture (r = -0.390; p = 0.003), meaning that the lower the nutritional status, the higher the risk of hip fracture. The conclusion of this study shows that nutritional status is associated with the risk of hip fracture, but not with overall major fracture. Further research with more sensitive methods and larger sample sizes is needed to confirm these results.

Abstract

Hyperuricemia has gained clinical interest due to emerging evidence of its association with various diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and fatty liver. Gut dysbiosis has been suggested to be linked to hyperuricemia, as the gastrointestinal tract is responsible for approximately one-third of the total human uric acid excretion. Alterations in gut microbiota composition have been observed in individuals with hyperuricemia.. Probiotics have regained popularity due to their beneficial health effects, and several studies have shown their potential as a dietary intervention for hyperuricemia. This review aims to examine the intestinal dysbiosis in individuals with hyperuricemia and explore the role of probiotics in ameliorating uric acid levels.
