Summary: Ellipticine and olivacine have cytotoxic effects on various cell lines, especially on doxorubicin-resistant cells. Olivacine is less cytotoxic to cancer cells and normal cells compared to ellipticine. Both compounds may exert their anticancer activity by affecting cell cycle progression and inducing apoptosis.

Summary: This study aimed to identify adverse events (AEs) of rebamipide that are more common than other drugs for peptic ulcer disease (PUD) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in the elderly population. A total of 101,735 AE reports from the KIDS-KAERS database were analyzed, and 14 signals were detected. Four signals were not listed on drug labels. Common AEs in the elderly population were analyzed, with 11 AEs identified. These AEs were not serious and occurred within 2-9 days.

Summary: The study found differential mucus-associated genera between FD patients and controls, with Streptococcus positively correlating with duodenal eosinophils in controls. While short-term PPI therapy effects were unrelated to changes in the gut microbiota for FD patients, increased Streptococcus in controls was associated with duodenal PPI effects, even after long-term therapy withdrawal in FD stoppers.

Summary: This review evaluates the gastroprotective potential of propolis against NSAID-induced gastric ulcers. Propolis has been shown to have antioxidant, antisecretory, and cytoprotective effects, and its phenolic compounds play a role in protecting the gastric mucosa. Further studies are needed to identify the compounds responsible for these effects and explore their potential use in human health.

Summary: Long-term complications of pancreaticoduodenectomy are uncommon due to poor long-term survival. Marginal ulcers can occur in both short and long term, and can lead to bleeding or perforation. This study reports a rare case of perforation peritonitis in a patient who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy 12 years ago.

Summary: The objective of this study was to estimate the pharmacokinetic parameters of pantoprazole in neonatal calves and investigate its effect on abomasal pH. The results showed that the pharmacokinetic parameters of pantoprazole in neonatal calves were similar to previous reports. Additionally, pantoprazole significantly increased abomasal pH. These findings suggest that pantoprazole may be a potential treatment/preventative for abomasal ulcers.

Summary: This study investigated whether the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or vonoprazan affected the duration of bevacizumab treatment in patients with cancer. The results showed that for cancer types other than colorectal cancer, the duration of treatment was significantly longer in the vonoprazan group than in the PPI group. However, for colorectal cancer, the duration of bevacizumab treatment was 147 days longer in the PPI group than in the vonoprazan group. Selecting appropriate gastric acid secretion inhibitors may improve the therapeutic efficacy of anti-VEGF drugs.

Summary: The study showed that proton pump inhibitor (PPI) can alleviate the overactivated proton pump in anaerobic digestion under high ammonia stress, leading to recovery of methane production. PPI forms a stimuli-responsive drug delivery system driven by pH, activating inhibited microbes and increasing microbial populations such as syntrophs and methanogens, ultimately improving methane yield.

Summary: In this study, the success rate of eradicating H. pylori with VPZ-based regimens was compared between adults and children, and it was found that the success rate was lower in children, possibly due to higher enzymatic activity and shorter intestinal transit times. It is important to maintain a higher intragastric pH and reduce diarrhea to ensure the effectiveness of the therapy. Therefore, VPZ, which can suppress stomach acids more strongly, is considered a more relevant treatment for H. pylori eradication.

Summary: This study assessed the potential of orientin to enhance the antibacterial activity of colistin against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in vitro. The combination therapy of orientin and colistin showed a synergistic interaction and induced oxidative stress, leading to increased bacterial lethality. Further studies are needed to determine the exact target and mechanism of action of orientin.

Summary: This study reports on the respiratory pathogens in children <= 5 years admitted with SARI during and between the second and third waves of COVID-19 infection in South Africa. Human rhinovirus/enterovirus, RSV, and SARS-CoV-2 were the most commonly detected pathogens, with a high co-infection rate. During the third wave, there were fewer RSV-positive samples, possibly due to measures against COVID-19 transmission.

Summary: The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 is highly mutable and targeting it remains a logical approach in the development of therapeutics against COVID-19. This study identified plant secondary metabolites with broad-spectrum activity against the spike proteins of the wild-type and omicron variants. Maysin and geraniin showed the best broad-spectrum activity, making them potential drug candidates for COVID-19.

Summary: This study used high-throughput next-generation sequencing to investigate the microbial diversity of two South African tomato cultivars at different storage intervals. The results showed that the bacterial communities of the two cultivars were more diverse than the fungal communities throughout the storage period. As the storage period increased, the microbial diversity between the two cultivars became distinct.
