Helicobacter pylori infection is an independent risk factor of early and advanced colorectal neoplasm
ConclusionsIn a large‐scale study, carefully controlled for confounding factors, involving asymptomatic participants without a history of colonoscopy, H. pylori infection was significantly associated with the risk of any colorectal adenoma and advanced colorectal neoplasm. Prospective studies are necessary to determine whether H. pylori eradication can reduce this risk. (Source: Helicobacter)

Autophagy ‐related genes in Helicobacter pylori infection
ConclusionsAutophagy‐related gene expression profiling using high‐throughput microarray analysis indicated that downregulation of core autophagy machinery genes may depress autophagy functions and possibly provide a better intracellular habit for H. pylori in gastric epithelial cells.

Vonoprazan improves the efficacy of Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy with a regimen consisting of clarithromycin and metronidazole in patients allergic to penicillin
ConclusionFor first eradication in patients allergic to penicillin, a 7‐day triple therapy consisting of clarithromycin, metronidazole and vonoprazan could be a candidate eradication regimen. (Source: Helicobacter)

Contemporary migration patterns in the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection: A systematic review
ConclusionsOur study findings are consistent with what would be expected based on the prevalence of H. pylori worldwide. The results of this review show that migrants are particularly at risk of infection and help to identify gaps in the knowledge of migrants' prevalence of infection globally. (Source: Helicobacter)

Antibiotic resistance of Helicobacter pylori in Chinese children: A  multicenter retrospective study over 7 years
ConclusionsThe resistance rates of H. pylori in children from southeast coastal region of China were very high to metronidazole, moderate to clarithromycin and levofloxacin, and low to amoxicillin and furazolidone. It is important to continue monitoring the resistance profiles of H. pylori isolated in this region. (Source: Helicobacter)

The influence of Helicobacter pylori on the ethnic distribution of esophageal eosinophilia
ConclusionEsophageal eosinophilia prevalence markedly varies by patient ethnicity. As there is a strong inverse correlation between H. pylori and esophageal eosinophilia, H. pylori infection may be in part responsible for the observed ethnic distribution of esophageal eosinophilia.

Consensus on the clinical management, screening ‐to‐treat, and surveillance of Helicobacter pylori infection to improve gastric cancer control on a nationwide scale
ConclusionsThis consensus statement has updated recommendations for improving the clinical management of H. pylori infection in areas such as Taiwan, which have high prevalence of H. pylori infection and gastric cancer. (Source: Helicobacter)

The importance of TH22 and TC22 cells in the pathogenesis of Helicobacter pylori ‐associated gastric diseases
ConclusionIncreased Th22, Tc22, and Tc22/17 cells and IL‐22 levels appear to be influential in progression and severity of H. pylori infection. Th22/17 can be an interesting therapeutic target for chronic H. pylori infections where eradication is more difficult. (Source: Helicobacter)

CCR2 mediates Helicobacter pylori ‐induced immune tolerance and contributes to mucosal homeostasis
ConclusionsOur results indicate that CCR2 plays an essential role in H. pylori‐induced immune tolerance and shed light on a novel mechanism of CCR2‐dependent DC Treg induction, which appears to be important in maintaining mucosal homeostasis during H. pylori infection. (Source: Helicobacter)

Helicobacter pylori colonization and pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia, spontaneous prematurity, and small for gestational age birth
ConclusionsOur data suggest that H. pylori colonization may be a risk factor for PE and SGA. If these associations are confirmed by future studies and shown to be causal, H. pylori eradication may reduce related perinatal morbidity and mortality. (Source: Helicobacter)
