BACKGROUND Short-term therapies for eradicating Helicobacter pylori in selected patients might offer advantages in terms of costs, compliance, and adverse effects in contrast to standard 1-week triple therapy. METHODS To determine eradication success and influencing factors in a new short-term quadruple therapy, a total of 243 patients positive for H pylori were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 re...

causes of emergency hospital admission in Japan, and it possibly results in life-threatening massive hemorrhage. Endoscopic clipping of the bleeding vessel is usually effective for treating gastrointestinal hemorrhage, but rebleeding occurs in 15 to 20% of patients. Higher intragastric pH promotes platelet aggregation, and the inhibition of gastric acid secretion to maintain neutral pH may stab...

Patients with lupus erythematosus (LE) frequently require systemic corticosteroid therapy and some of them also take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for arthritis or aspirin for thrombosis prevention.

Histamine is synthesized via histidine decarboxylase (HDC) in wide types of immune cells and is involved in abundant physiologic and pathologic processes. Histamine is a mediator released during inflammatory reactions, such as food allergy. Food allergy is immunological reactions to 'fight off' specific allergens within food in susceptible individuals. The aim of this study is investigation of ...
