Objective: To investigate the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) and the efficacy of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) eradication therapy in children. Methods: The retrospective cohort study was conducted on 125 children with gastroscopy and positive rapid urease test (RUT) from September 2016 to December 2018 who presented to the Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine due to gastrointestinal symptoms including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating, acid reflux, heartburn, chest pain, vomiting blood and melena. Hp culture and drug susceptibility test were carried out with gastric antrum mucosa before treatment. All the patients completed 2 weeks of standardized Hp eradication therapy and had ¹³C urea breath test 1 month after that, which was used to evaluate the curative effect. The DNA of gastric mucosa after RUT was analyzed and CYP2C19 gene polymorphism was detected. Children were grouped according to metabolic type. Combined with the results of Hp culture and drug susceptibility, the relationship between CYP2C19 gene polymorphism and the efficacy of Hp eradicative treatment was analyzed in children. Chi square test was used for row and column variables, and Fisher exact test was used for comparison between groups. Results: One hundred and twenty five children were enrolled in the study, of whom 76 were males and 49 females. The genetic polymorphism of CYP2C19 in these children found poor metabolizer (PM) of 30.4% (38/125), intermediate metabolizer (IM) of 20.8% (26/125), normal metabolizer (NM) of 47.2% (59/125), rapid metabolizer (RM) of 1.6% (2/125), and ultrarapid metabolizer (UM) of 0. There were statistically significant in positive rate of Hp culture among these groups (χ²=124.00, P<0.001). In addition, the successful rates of Hp eradication in PM, IM, NM and RM genotypes were 84.2% (32/38), 53.8% (14/26), 67.8% (40/59), and 0, respectively, with significant differences (χ²=11.35, P=0.010); those in IM genotype was significantly lower than that in PM genotype (P=0.011). With the same standard triple Hp eradicative regimen, the successful rate of Hp eradication for IM type was 8/19, which was lower than that of PM (80.0%, 24/30) and NM type (77.3%, 34/44) (P=0.007 and 0.007, respectively). There was a significant difference in the efficacy of Hp eradication treatment among different genotypes (χ²=9.72, P=0.008). According to the clarithromycin susceptibility result, the successful rate of Hp eradication treatment for IM genotype was 4/15 in the sensitive group and 4/4 in the drug-resistant group (χ²=6.97, P=0.018). Conclusions: The genetic polymorphism of CYP2C19 in children is closely related to the efficacy of Hp eradication treatment. PM has a higher successful rate of eradication treatment than the other genotypes.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) gene polymorphisms with the occurrence of ischemic stroke (IS). METHODS: From January 2020 to August 2022, 390 IS patients treated at the Zhengzhou Seventh People's Hospital were enrolled as the study group, and 410 healthy individuals undergoing physical examination during the same period were enrolled as the control group. Clinical data of all subjects were collected, which included age, sex, body mass index (BMI), smoking history and results of laboratory tests. Chi-square test and independent sample t test were used for comparing the clinical data. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the non-hereditary independent risk factors for IS. Fasting blood samples of the subjects were collected, and the genotypes of rs4244285, rs4986893, rs12248560 of the CYP2C19 gene and rs776746 of the CYP3A5 gene were determined by Sanger sequencing. The frequency of each genotype was calculated by using SNPStats online software. The association between the genotype and IS under the dominant, recessive and additive models was analyzed. RESULTS: The levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B (Apo-B) and homocysteine (Hcy) of the case group were significantly higher than those of the control group, whilst the levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and Apo-A1 (APO-A1) were significantly lower (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that TC (95%CI = 1.13-1.92, P = 0.02), LD-C (95%CI = 1.03-2.25, P = 0.03), Apo-A1 (95%CI = 1.05-2.08, P = 0.04), Apo-B (95%CI = 1.7-4.22, P < 0.01) and Hcy (95%CI = 1.12-1.83, P = 0.04) were non-genetic independent risk factors for the occurrence of IS. Analysis of the association between the genetic polymorphisms and the risk of IS showed that the AA genotype at rs4244285 of the CYP2C19 gene, the AG genotype and A allele at rs4986893 of the CYP2C19 gene, and the GG genotype and G allele at rs776746 of the CYP3A5 gene were significantly associated with IS. Under the recessive/additive model, dominant model and dominant/additive model, polymorphisms of the rs4244285, rs4986893 and rs776746 loci were also significantly associated with the IS. CONCLUSION TC, LDL-C, Apo-A1, Apo-B and Hcy can all affect the occurrence of IS, and CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms are closely associated with the IS. Above finding has confirmed that the CYP450 gene polymorphisms can increase the risk of IS, which may provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms with the risk of myocardial infarction. METHODS: Five hundred patients with myocardial infarction and 500 healthy controls were randomly selected. Fluorescent PCR and Sanger sequencing were used to detect the CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms. Logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between the polymorphisms and myocardial infarction. Quanto software was used to evaluate the statistical power. RESULTS: The two groups had significant difference in the frequency of AG, GG genotypes and A allele of the CYP2C19 gene rs4986893 locus and the AA, AG, GG genotypes and G allele of the CYP3A5 gene rs776746 locus ( P<0.05), but not in the frequency of genotypes and alleles of CYP2C19 gene rs4244285 and rs12248560 loci, and the AA genotype of the rs4986893 locus. After correction for age, gender, and body mass index, Logistic regression indicated that the AG genotype and A allele of the CYP2C19 gene rs4986893 locus, and the GG genotype and G allele of CYP3A5 gene rs776746 locus are associated with susceptibility of myocardial infarction, while rs4986893 GG genotype and AA and AG genotypes of rs776746 may confer a protective effect. Based on the sample size and allele frequency, analysis with Quanto software suggested that the result of this study has a statistical power of 99%. CONCLUSION CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms may increase the risk for myocardial infarction.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism on the plasma concentration of voriconazole in patients with hematological disease and the value of serial monitoring plasma concentrations in the treatment and prevention of invasive fungal disease (IFD). Methods: From January 2016 to December 2016, 65 hematological patients who received voriconazole intravenous administration for the treatment of invasive fungal disease were enrolled in this study. The population CYP2C19 polymorphism of voriconazole were performed using PCR-Pyrosequencing. The trough plasma concentrations of vriconazole (C_trough) was detected by ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Results: Based on the genotype analysis, 65 subjects were identified as extensive metabolizers' group (30 cases) and poor metabolizers' group (35 cases). The C_trough of the 65 patients were detected for 169 times totally, and there was a significant difference of C_trough values between the two groups [0.98(0.38-2.08) mg/L vs 2.19(1.53-4.27) mg/L, z=10.286, P<0.001]. The medium of C_trough in 65 hematological patients were described. Lack of response to therapy was more frequent in patients with voriconazole levels <1.5 mg/L (50.0%) than in those with voriconazole levels >1.5 mg/L (20.5%) (P=0.052). And the risk of adverse events was more frequent in patients with voriconazole levels >5.5 mg/L (80.0%) than in those with voriconazole levels ≤5.5 mg/L (8.3%) (χ²=11.689, P=0.020). Conclusion: Patients with CYP2C19 wild-type phenotype are extensive metabolizers, their C_trough of voriconazole are significantly lower than patients with CYP2C19 non-wild-type phenotype (poor metabolizers). Appropriate concentrations of vriconazole can improve the efficacy and safety during treatment.

Objective To investigate the correlation between CYP2C19 gene polymorphism and elderly cerebral infarction.Methods Two polymorphisms including rs4244285 and rs4986893 of the CYP2C19 gene were detected by gene chip technology in 72 elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction (stroke group) and 77 otherwise healthy controls. The clinical data and the polymorphism distribution of CYP2C19 were compared,and the potential association between genetic polymorphism and cerebral infarction was analyzed by Logistic regression.Results The frequencies of rs4244285 GG (45.83% vs. 63.64%,Χ =4.766,P=0.029) and rs4244285 A allele (34.03% vs. 22.73%,Χ =4.695,P=0.030) were significantly higher in stroke group than in control group. There were no significant differences in the distribution of the alleles of rs4986893 or the rs4244285 GA and AA between these two groups (all P>0.05). After the conventional cerebrovascular risk factors including gender,age,body mass index,smoking,and total cholesterol were adjusted,Logistic regression analysis showed that rs4244285 A allele significantly increased the stroke risk [the additive model AA vs. GG:OR=2.564,95%CI=1.181-5.566,P=0.017;the dominant model AA/AG vs. GG:OR=2.763,95%CI=1.343-5.685,P=0.006].Conclusion CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism may be associated with the increased risk of cerebral infarction in the elderly,although future well-designed studies with larger sample sizes are warranted.

Objective: To investigate the effects of clopidogrel resistence and CYP2C19 genotype on the clinical prognosis of acute coronary syndrome(ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Methods: This study was a retrospective cohort study. ACS patients who underwent PCI in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from October 2015 to January 2017 were recruited. The inhibition rate of adenosine diphosphate(ADP) was monitored by thromboelastography. All of these patients were divided into clopidogrel resistance and non-resistance group according to the monitoring results. CYP2C19 genotype was detected by TaqMan probe-based real-time quantitative PCR. Patients were divided into slow, medium and fast metabolic group, according to the CYP2C19 genotype. After 12 months of follow-up, the end points included all-cause death, cardiac death, angina, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, ischemic stroke and hemorrhage were collected. Combined thrombotic events were defined as a composite of angina, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis and ischemic stroke. The differences of the incidence of clinical events between groups were compared. Cox regression was used to analyze the effects of clopidogrel resistance and CYP2C19 genotype on the combined thrombotic events, cardiac death and hemorrhage. Results: A total of 1 696 patients were included, and the age was (59.4±9.6) years, with 1 280(75.5%) males. There were 471 cases(27.8%) in clopidogrel resistance group, and 1 225 cases(72.2%) in clopidogrel non-resistance group. There were 218 patients(12.9%) were in slow metabolic group, 668(39.4%) in medium metabolic group, and 810 (47.8%) in fast metabolic group. The median follow-up time was 13.3 months, and 131 cases were lost to follow-up, with a loss follow-up rate of 7.7%. Compared with the clopidogrel non-resistance group, the clopidogrel resistance group had a higher incidence of myocardial infarction(7.6%(36/471) vs. 5.1%(62/1 225), P=0.041), a lower incidence of hemorrhage (13.2%(62/471) vs. 17.9%(219/1 225), P=0.020) and minor hemorrhage(11.5%(54/471) vs. 15.8% (194/1 225), P=0.022). There were no statistically significant difference in all-cause death, cardiac death, angina, stent thrombosis, ischemic stroke and severe bleeding between clopidogrel resistance and non-resistance group(all P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of endpoint events among different CYP2C19 genotypes (all P>0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that clopidogrel resistance was an independent factor of combined thrombotic events (OR=2.334, 95%CI 1.215-4.443, P=0.016) and bleeding events (OR=0.481, 95%CI 0.174-0.901, P=0.023). While CYP2C19 genotype was not independent factor for combined thrombotic events, cardiac death and hemorrhage (all P>0.05). Conclusion: For ACS patients after PCI, clopidogrel resistance can increase the risk of combined thrombotic events, but also reduce the risk of bleeding; while CYP2C19 genotype is not an independent factor for clinical prognosis.

The prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in South Korea has increased over the past 10 years. Patients with erosive reflux disease (ERD) shows better response to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) than those with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD). NERD is a heterogeneous condition, showing pathological gastroesophageal reflux or esophageal hypersensitivity to reflux contents. NERD patients with pathological gastroesophageal reflux or hypersensitivity to acid may respond to PPIs. However, many patients with esophageal hypersensitivity to nonacid or functional heartburn do not respond to PPIs. Therefore, careful history and investigations are required when managing patients with refractory GERD who show poor response to conventional dose PPIs. Combined pH-impedance studies and a PPI diagnostic trial are recommended to reveal underlying mechanisms of refractory symptoms. For those with ongoing reflux-related symptoms, split dose administration, change to long-acting PPIs or PPIs less influenced by CYP2C19 genotypes, increasing dose of PPIs, and the addition of alginate preparations, prokinetics, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or tricyclic antidepressants can be considered. Pain modulators, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or tricyclic antidepressants are more likely to be effective for those with reflux-unrelated symptoms. Surgery or endoscopic per oral fundoplication may be effective in selected patients.

Several studies have investigated the association between CYP2C19 polymorphism and clinical outcomes of patients treated with clopidogrel, but few have noticed the difference in association between Westerners and Asians. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Library database and conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis. Thirty-six studies involving 44 655 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) treated with clopidogrel were included, of which more than 68% had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The primary outcome of our interest was the recurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in those CAD patients. Firstly, we found that the distribution of reduced-function CYP2C19 allele varied between Westerners and Asians. Among Asians, 1 and 2 reduced-function CYP2C19 mutant allele carriers accounted for 42.5% and 10%, respectively. While among Westerners, 1 and 2 reduced-function CYP2C19 mutant allele carriers accounted for 25.5% and 2.4%, respectively. Secondly, the impact of CYP2C19 polymorphism on clinical outcomes of patients treated with clopidogrel varied with races. Among Asians, only 2 reduced-function CYP2C19 mutant allele carriers had the reduced effect of clopidogrel. And the reduced effect was significant only after the 30th day of treatment. While among Westerners, both 1 and 2 reduced-function CYP2C19 allele carriers had the reduced effect, and it mainly occurred within the first 30 days. Thirdly, the safety of clopidogrel was almost the same among races. Reduced-function allele non-carriers had higher risk for total bleeding but did not have higher risk for major bleeding. It is suggested that CYP2C19 polymorphism affects the efficacy of clopidogrel differently among Westerners and Asians.

<p>OBJECTIVETo detect the single nucleotide polymorphisms of clopidogrel metabolism related genes (CYP2C19, ABCB1 and PON1) in Chinese patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) by genotype analysis.p><p>METHODSGenetic analysis was performed in patients admitted to Fuwai Hospital from 2005 to 2008 with ACS within 4 weeks. The detection of polymorphisms was performed by TaqMan real-time PCR method. The alleles genotyped were CYP2C19 *2-*8, *17, ABCB1 C3435T, PON1 Q192R and PON1 L55M. Minor allele frequency (MAF) was calculated. Patients were classified as one of the 5 categories by clopidogrel metabolizer phenotypes as extensive [without any "loss-of-function" (LOF) allele *2-*8 or "gain-of-function" (GOF) allele *17], intermediate (with only one LOF allele), Poor (with two or more LOF alleles), ultra (with one or two GOF alleles) or unknown (with one LOF allele and one GOF allele).p><p>RESULTSA total of 2800 ACS patients were enrolled [mean age (59.0 ± 12.3) years and 2236 males (79.9%)]. There were 74% patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI, n = 2072), 22.0% patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI, n = 617) and 4.0% patients with unstable angina (UA, n = 111). The minor allele frequency (MAF) for each genotype of CYP2C19 *2, *3, *4, *17 was 28.7%, 4.6%, 0.1% and 1.2%, respectively. There was no LOF allele *5-*8 in the study population. The MAF for ABCB1 C3435T, PON1 Q192R and PON1 L55M was 39.4%, 37.8% and 4.4%, respectively. Clopidogrel metabolizer groups were defined as extensive in 41.7%, intermediate in 45.6%, poor in 10.3%, ultra in 1.9% and unknown in 0.6% patients, respectively. There were no significant differences for all genotypes between males and females. Total LOF carriers of CYP2C19 were 56.4% and GOF carriers were 2.5%.p><p>CONCLUSIONSOur study demonstrated a high distribution of the LOF allele of CYP2C19 in China ACS population.p>
