Since 2020, the Chinese Society of Gastroenterology, the Japanese Society of Gastroenterology and the American College of Gastroenterology have updated consensus or guidelines for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This article reviewed and compared the above ⁃ mentioned files in terms of definition, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, management of refractory GERD, and adverse effects of long⁃term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment, so as to provide references for the standardized diagnosis and treatment of GERD.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious nervous system disease that usually leads to the impairment of the motor, sensory, and autonomic nervous functions of the spinal cord, and it places a heavy burden on families and healthcare systems every year. Due to the complex pathophysiological mechanism of SCI and the poor ability of neurons to regenerate, the current treatment scheme has very limited effects on the recovery of spinal cord function. In addition, due to their unique advantages, exosomes can be used as carriers for cargo transport. In recent years, some studies have confirmed that treatment with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can promote the recovery of SCI nerve function. The therapeutic effect of MSCs is mainly related to exosomes secreted by MSCs, and exosomes may have great potential in SCI therapy. In this review, we summarized the repair mechanism of mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes (MSCs-Exos) in SCI treatment and discussed the microRNAs related to SCI treatment based on MSCs-Exos and their mechanism of action, which is helpful to further understand the role of exosomes in SCI.

The gastrointestinal microbiome is the most important and complex microecosystem in the human microecosystem,which participates in a variety of physiological processes of the human body and is related to a variety of disease processes.In recent years,the relationship between gastrointestinal microbiome and gastrointestinal tumors has attracted the attention of scholars,and a series of studies have been carried out on the exploration of gastrointestinal microbiota as a new non-invasive biomarker.This article reviewed the relationship between gastrointestinal microbiome and the diagnosis,occurrence and treatment of gastrointestinal tumors through esophageal cancer,gastric cancer,colorectal cancer,gastrointestinal microbiome and tumor treatment,so as to provide new ideas for finding potential molecular targets for prevention,treatment and intervention of tumors.

Objective To explore the mechanism underlying the anti-hemorrhoid effects of Qingji Liangxue mixture(QLM).Methods Models of acute hemorrhoid in rats were established using a croton oil preparation(COP)and glacial acetic acid.A total of 80 SD female rats were randomly divided into two major groups:the COP group and the glacial acetic acid group,each consisting of 40 rats.In the COP group,rats were further randomly assigned to the following subgroups:control group 1(group CA),model group 1(group CB),low-dose QLM group 1-1(group CC),high-dose QLM group 1-2(group CD),and diosmin group 1(group CE),with eight rats in each subgroup.In the glacial acetic acid group,rats were randomly divided into the following subgroups:control group 2(group GA),model group 2(group GB),low-dose QLM group 2-1(group GC),high-dose QLM group 2-2(group GD),and diosmin group 2(group GE),with eight rats in each subgroup.Except for the control groups,all other subgroups were treated with COP or glacial acetic acid then treated with various drugs for 7 days.HE staining was used to observe anorectal histomorphology induced by COP and glacial acetic acid.ELIS As were used to measure serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α induced by COP.Additionally,the area of perianal ulcers induced by glacial acetic acid was recorded.Twenty-four C57 mice were randomly divided into a control group(group A),low-dose QLM group(group B),high-dose QLM group(group C),and adrenal chromazone tablet group(group D).Results QLM significantly improved the pathological injury of animal models with similar hemorrhoids,reduced the score of pathological changes induced by COP(P＜0.05),reduced the serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α(P＜0.05),reduced the area of perianal ulcers induced by glacial acetic acid(P＜0.05),and shortened the time of coagulation and bleeding(P＜0.05).Conclusions QLM has a good anti-hemorrhoid activity,which may be achieved by anti-inflammatory effects,hemostasis,and reducing tissue damage.

Helicobacter pylori infection is an important causative factor in a variety of gastrointestinal diseases,such as atrophic gastritis,peptic ulcer disease,and gastric cancer.Timely eradication treatment is con-ducive to maintaining the health of patients.With the increase of drug resistance in Helicobacter pylori,dual therapy with proton pump inhibitors combined with high-dose amoxicillin has gradually gained attention.Potassium-competitive acid blockers are new types of antacids that have a faster onset of action and a longer lasting acid sup-pression effect than traditional proton pump inhibitors,making it more suitable for dual therapy.In recent years,scholars have carried out a lot of exploration,improvement and verification of potassium-competitive acid blockers dual therapy,and this article reviews its research progress.
