OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of amoxicillin combined with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) or potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) for Helicobacter pylori (Hp) eradication. METHODS Randomized controlled trial (RCTs) on amoxicillin combined with PPI or P-CAB for Hp eradication were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP data. The search time frame was from database inception to September 5, 2025. After literature screening, data extraction, and quality assessment, a network meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 software. RESULTS A total of 12 RCTs involving 5 515 patients were included, encompassing 8 therapeutic regimens: PPI combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 14 days (TR1), PPI combined with low-dose amoxicillin for 14 days (TR2), P-CAB combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 7 days (TR3), P-CAB combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 14 days (TR4), P-CAB combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 10 days (TR5), P-CAB combined with low-dose amoxicillin for 7 days (TR6), P-CAB combined with low-dose amoxicillin for 14 days (TR7), and P-CAB combined with low-dose amoxicillin for 10 days (TR8). The network meta-analysis results showed that, in terms of intention-to-treat Hp eradication rates, the eradication rates of TR5 and TR4 were significantly higher than those of TR3, TR8, TR6 and TR1 ( P <0.05). The surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) values from highest to lowest were: TR4 (89.7%)>TR5 (82.3%)>TR7 (71.5%)> TR2 (48.6%)>TR1 (43.9%)>TR8 (28.7%)>TR3 (22.7%)>TR6 (12.6%). Regarding safety, the incidence of adverse reactions in TR3 and TR5 was significantly lower than that in TR1 ( P <0.05). The SUCRA values from highest to lowest were: TR1 (91.3%)>TR4 (79.8%)>TR5 (55.0%)>TR7 (50.9%)>TR8 (41.3%)>TR2 (36.4%)>TR3 (27.6%) >TR6 (17.7%). CONCLUSIONS Although the regimen of P-CAB combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 14 days demonstrates the best efficacy, the combination of P-CAB with high-dose amoxicillin for 10 days exhibits a better balanced profile in terms of both efficacy and safety.

Background Air pollution has widespread adverse health effects on human health, but research on its impact on reproductive health and related physiological mechanisms remains insufficient. Objective To investigate the associations between short-term exposure to particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and serum levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and testosterone in healthy adults. Methods A total of 152 healthy adults were recruited for a panel study, undergoing four follow-up visits from September 2019 to January 2020. Basic demographic information and serum samples were collected. Reproductive hormone levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. Concurrently, environmental data in the study area were monitored, including fine particulate matter (PM2.5), black carbon (BC), NO2, particle number concentrations in the 5-560 nm size fraction (PNC5_560), and meteorological variables. Linear mixed-effects models were constructed to estimate the effects of short-term exposure to these particulate matter on serum reproductive hormone levels. Results The participants had an average age of (23.9±2.4) years, with 102 women. For each interquartile range (IQR) increment in pollutant moving average concentrations, PM2.5, PNC5_25, PNC100_560, BC, and NO2 were associated with relative decreases in female serum AMH levels by 10.2%-16.9%, 46.2%-58.0%, 16.9%-21.2%, 14.8%-26.5%, and 11.3%-17.6%, respectively. These negative associations were stronger in females with waist-to-hip ratio > 0.76 and physical activity levels ≤ 1217 metabolic equivalents (MET) min per week. Similarly, in males, an IQR increase in the same pollutants was associated with relative decreases in serum free testosterone by 11.1%-17.2%, 35.2%, 10.5%-18.9%, 18.7%-24.2%, and 10.3%-26.0%, respectively. These effects were more pronounce in male with a waist-to-hip ratios > 0.81 and physical activity levels ≤ 1498 MET-min per week. Conclusion Short-term exposure to particulate matter and NO2 may reduce serum levels of AMH and testosterone in healthy adults. Furthermore, these adverse effects appears to be stronger in adults with higher waist-to-hip ratios.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of miR-21 combined with high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) for postoperative prognosis in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH).Methods:A total of 137 HICH patients (HICH group) admitted to the Central Hospital of Yongzhou from March 2021 to March 2023 were retrospectively selected, and 60 healthy subjects undergoing physical examination in the same hospital during the same period were enrolled as the control group. Serum miR-21 and HMGB1 levels were compared between the two groups, and differences in serum miR-21 and HMGB1 levels among HICH patients with different disease severities and prognoses were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to screen influencing factors for postoperative prognosis in HICH patients, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to evaluate the predictive value of miR-21 combined with HMGB1 for postoperative prognosis.Results:The relative expression level of serum miR-21 on postoperative day 1 in the HICH group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05), while the HMGB1 level was significantly higher ( P<0.05). With the aggravation of HICH severity, the relative expression of serum miR-21 significantly decreased (all P<0.05), while the HMGB1 level significantly increased (all P<0.05). The relative expression of serum miR-21 in the good prognosis group was significantly higher than that in the poor prognosis group ( P<0.05), while the HMGB1 level was significantly lower ( P<0.05). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that miR-21, HMGB1, preoperative Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, and preoperative hematoma volume were influencing factors for postoperative prognosis in HICH patients (all P<0.05). ROC curve showed that the areas under the curve (AUC) of miR-21 and HMGB1 for predicting poor postoperative prognosis in HICH patients were 0.925 and 0.913, respectively, while the AUC of miR-21 combined with HMGB1 was 0.950. Conclusions:Peripheral blood miR-21 is significantly decreased and HMGB1 level is significantly increased in HICH patients. miR-21 combined with HMGB1 has a good predictive value for poor postoperative prognosis in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.
