Abstract

Helicobacter pylori has been known as a cause of chronic gastritis, a predisposition to gastric and duocenal ulcers, and a class I gastric carcinogen. Throughout the world, H. pylori infection is very common, reaching 40% -50% of the population in developed nations and 80% – 90% of the population in developing nations. Several techniques have been used to detect H. pylori infection, such as the urea breath test, rapid urease test, serological test, as well as biopsies of gastric or duodenal tissues for culture and histopathology. In this review article, we will discuss a relatively new method to detect H. pylori antigen in stools with enzyme immunoassay, and comparisons with other standard techniques. However, the H. pylori stool antigen test is not yet commercially available in Indonesia.   Key words: Helicobacter pylori - stool antigen - enzyme immunoassay.

Abstract

Background: The diagnosis and treatment of chronic diarrhea is sometimes difficult. Orocaecal transit time may explained some pathogenesis mechanism in chronic diarrhea. Methods: Twenty six chronic diarrhea patients and 35 normal adult subjects were included in this study. After fasting for at least 10 hours, subjects were asked to drink 20 ml (13.3 g) lactulose, then performed the breath hydrogen test. If there were an increment of H2 concentration 10 ppm in ½ -1 hour, the subject was considered as rapid transit time. If an increment of H concentration 10 ppm in 1 - 2 hour, the subject was considered as normal transit time. If an increment of H2 concentration 10 ppm in 2 - 3 hour,the subject was considered as delayed transit timeResults: In the chronic diarrhea group, 10 (38.4%) had rapid OCTT, 15 (57.6%) had normal OCTT and only 1 (4%) had delayed OCTT. In the normal adults group, 2 (5.7%) had rapid OCTT, 22 (62.9%) had normal OCTT and 11 (31.4%) had delayed OCTT. The difference was statistically significant (p 0.001). The mean value of OCTT in chronic diarrhea and normal adults were 84.23 + 39.82 min vs. 114.00 + 51.35 min (p = 0.027). Conclusions: The rapid OCTT was more likely to be found in the chronic diarrhea patients compare to normal adults significantly. The mean OCTT in chronic diarrhea was shorter than the mean OCTT in normal adults.   Keywords: orocaecal transit time, OCTT, chronic diarrhea

Abstract

Background:  Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is idiopathic disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Polysaccharide peptide of Ganoderma lucidum mycelium extract (PPGL) is considerably a good option for adjunctive therapy of IBD. This study aims to evaluate the benefit of PPGL in patients treated with 5-ASA.Method: A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted to examine the medical records of 124 ulcerative colitis patients. There were 80 patients in intervention group who were treated with a combination of 5-ASA and PPGL, and there were 44 patients in the control group who were treated with 5-ASA only. Clinical and laboratory endpoints were observed at the baseline and after 30, 60, and 90 days. Clinical endpoints included abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, aphthous stomatitis, and polyarthritis; meanwhile, laboratory endpoints included hemoglobin level, ESR, CRP, fecal calprotectin, M2-pyruvate kinase (MP2K), fecal culture, C. difficile culture, and colonoscopy results. Clinical trials conducted after patient enrollment with registry number ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04029649.Results: On day-30 there was a significant difference between intervention group 45.6%  and control group 2.3% in abdominal pain complaints (p 0.001). Moreover, laboratory parameters of fecal calprotectin (p 0.001), fecal MP2K (p = 0.015), and hemoglobin (p 0.001) were considerably better in intervention group on day-30. These differences were consistently found on day 60 and 90.Conclusion: The study implies potential correlation between PPGL administration and improvement of clinical and laboratory endpoints up to 90 days. A larger randomized, blinded, prospective study is required to confirm these effects in ulcerative colitis.
