Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of hydrogen sulfide breath test(SBT) for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).Methods:College students were enrolled to complete gastrointestinal symptom scale, food frequency questionnaire, lactulose hydrogen- methane breath test (LHMBT) and SBT. Based on the correlation between hydrogen sulfide(H 2S) and hydrogen or methane gas,the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of H 2S was drawn and diagnostic criteria of SBT was defined. Results:A total of 300 subjects including 84 males and 216 females with age 17-32 (21.6±2.4) years were enrolled from April 2019 to December 2019 and divided into two groups.Two hundred and three patients reported SIBO discomforts with 99 (48.8%) LHMBT positive, while 38 (39.2%) were LHMBT positive in 97 health controls. Rise of H 2S at 90 min was positively related with that of hydrogen ( r=0.516, P<0.01), and H 2S levels at 90 min were positively correlated with methane ( r=0.632, P<0.01). A rise in H 2S of ≥25.0 ppb or H 2S levels ≥62.5 ppb at 90 min during lactulose breath test was considered positive for SIBO, that sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 66.4%,79.1% and 73.3% respectively. H 2S levels were significantly related to the amount of Vitamin B 12 intake ( P=0.011). H 2S-positive subjects exhibited a constipation-predominant pattern. Conclusion:SBT is consistent with LHMBT, especially in constipation-predominant patients, which may provide a reference to the diagnosis of SIBO.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of multi-band mucosectomy (MBM) for the treatment of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia.Methods The clinical data of 24 patients with high-grade esophageal intraepithelial neoplasia who were admitted to the Henan Honliv Hospital from April 2011 to October 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.All the 24 patients received MBM,and the operation time,resection of the lesion and complications were observed.All the patients were followed up with gastroscopy at postoperative 1,3,6,12 months.The follow-up was ended in April 2013.Results A total of 26 lesions in 24 patients were resected successfully by MBM (2 patients received MBM twice).The mean operation time was 42 minutes.The mean length of the lesions was 3.1 cm (range,0.8-6.0 cm),and it occupied 3/4 of the circumference of the esophagus to the maximum.The mean number of the band used was 4 (range,1-6).During the operation,bleeding was occurred in 4 patients,and they were cured by hot biopsy forceps.No perforation of the esophagus was detected.The results of post-MBM pathological examination showed that 22 patients were with severe atypical hyperplasia,and 2 were with carcinoma in situ.During the follow-up of 6-24 months,22 patients were cured,and esophageal stricture occurred in 1 patient at post-MBM 1 month,and the symptoms were successfully relieved by endoscopic balloon dilatation.Neoplasia recurrence was observed in 1 patient (2 lesions were resected twice) at post-MBM 3 months,and he received surgical treatment.Histopathological diagnosis showed that he had esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.No stricture or neoplasia was detected by gastroscopy at postoperative month 12.Conclusions MBM is a relatively safe and effective endoscopic technique for the treatment of high-grade esophageal intraepithelial neoplasia.The resection range should not be blindly extended.For patients whose lesions are beyond 3/4 of the circumference of the esophagus in width or with multiple lesions which can not be resected by MBM at one time,MBM should be applied cautiously to avoid esophageal stricture and recurrence.

BACKGROUND:
It is still unclear if and to what extent antenatal or infant or childhood vitamin D supplementation would affect the development of allergy diseases later in life. This study aimed to review the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation in pregnant women, infants, or children for the prevention of allergies.
METHODS:
MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE (OVID), and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched up to March 1, 2020. We included only randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis for vitamin D supplementation in primary allergy prevention. These trials were assessed for risk of bias using the Cochrane Collaboration domains and the consensus was reached via discussion with the full study group. We descriptively summarized and quantitatively synthesized original data to evaluate vitamin D supplementation in primary allergy prevention by using Review Manager software for meta-analysis.
RESULTS:
The search yielded 1251 studies. Seven RCTs were included in this analysis. A meta-analysis revealed that vitamin D supplementation for pregnant women or infants may not decrease the risk of developing allergic diseases, such as asthma or wheezing (supplementation for pregnant women, risk ratio [RR]: 1.01, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.81-1.26, P = 0.90, I2 = 47%; supplementation for infants, RR: 1.00, 95% CI: 0.70-1.43, P = 0.99, I2 = 0%; supplementation for pregnant women and infants, RR: 0.35, 95% CI: 0.10-1.25, P = 0.11), eczema (supplementation for pregnant women, RR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.80-1.13, P = 0.77, I2 = 0%; supplementation for infants, RR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.64-1.11, P = 0.19, I2 = 42%), allergic rhinitis (supplementation for pregnant women, RR: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.78-1.11, P = 0.15, I2 = 47%), lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) (supplementation for pregnant women, RR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.85-1.11, P = 0.59, I2 = 0%), or food allergy.
CONCLUSIONS:
Supplementation of vitamin D in pregnant women or infants does not have an effect on the primary prevention of allergic diseases.
