“…The use of "tuibur" was associated with an increased OR of H pylori infection (OR: 3.32; 95% Cl, 1.95‐5.83). The habit of "tuibur" consumption may be a contributing factor to the high prevalence of H pylori infection and gastritis among the Mizo population 22 …”

This review summarizes the recent knowledge on the epidemiology of Helicobacter pylori and the potential modes of transmission. In addition to English language publications, the authors have included original full‐text publications from Russia and Latin America published in the original languages. High H pylori prevalence has been reported in Russia, Jordan, Iran, China, and Latin American countries as well as in Arctic populations in Canada. Indigenous inhabitants in the Arctic were found to be infected substantially more frequently than non‐indigenous inhabitants. In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, the ethnic minority groups were at a significantly higher risk of being H pylori seropositive compared to the Dutch population. For the first time, data on the prevalence from Armenia have been published indicating 41.5% H pylori prevalence. Convincing evidence on the decline of H pylori prevalence in Southeast Hungary and Taiwan was published. A study from Chile suggested high infection rates in newborns during the first month after birth. Two meta‐analyses covered the potential correlation between H pylori and periodontal diseases, therefore addressing the potential oro‐oral transmission rates. Periodontal disease was found to be more prevalent in H pylori‐infected subjects. Other studies addressed the potential role of drinking water and food products as well as socioeconomic factors in transmitting the infection. Several studies in Asia addressed annual reinfection rates of H pylori, ranging from 1.5% in China to 3.1% in Korea. Finally, a review was published on the current evidence and future perspective of analysing H pylori in ancient human remains by a metagenomic approach.

“…It may be possible that betel nut chewing can alter the oral and gastric PH, affect the colonization of normal flora and decreases saliva secretion, thereby causing the local bactericidal effect of the oral cavity weaker and significantly increasing the risk of H. pylori infection [ 22 ]. In our study, betel nut chewing was not found to be correlated with the failure of H. pylori eradication in both groups.…”

Ilaprazole-amoxicillin dual therapy at high dose as a first-line treatment for helicobacter pylori infection in Hainan: a single-center, open-label, noninferiority, randomized controlled trial

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, adverse events, patient compliance, and cost of dual therapy with Ilaprazole-amoxicillin (IA) at high dose versus Ilaprazole-amoxicillin-furazolidone-bismuth (IAFB) quadruple therapy for the Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection among Chinese patients. Methods 200 patients who had tested positive for H. pylori and undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy after being diagnosed with chronic gastritis participated in this open-label randomized controlled clinical trial. Patients were randomized to Group A and Group B: the 14-day IA dual treatment group (101) and IAFB quadruple treatment group (99). The 13 C urea breath test was conducted to determine whether H. pylori had been eliminated 4–6 weeks after the treatment. Eradication rates, drug-related adverse events, patient compliance, and drug costs were compared between the two treatment groups. Results Eradication rates in group A were 92.1% and 94.9%, depending on the intention-to-treat (ITT), per-protocol (PP), respectively, which was similar to group B (91.9% and 93.6%). There was no significant difference observed in adverse events between the two groups (P = 0.518). Interestingly, compliance was significantly higher in group A compared to the group B (P = 0.031). In addition, drug costs were significantly lower for group A in comparison to the group B. Conclusions IA dual therapy was found to be equally effective, safer and less costly than IAFB quadruple therapy. Therefore, these therapies can be potentially considered as first-line regimens for empirical treatment.

“…Prior investigations conducted within Mizoram have revealed a heightened risk (OR > 1) of Gastric Cancer among tuibur users, with a noteworthy correlation (OR > 1) between Helicobacter pylori infection (a bacterium linked to gastritis and Stomach cancer) and the consumption of tuibur and smoked food, including “sa-um”. 38 , 40 Moreover, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption and insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables are well-recognized risk factors for distinct subtypes of Gastric Cancer. 41 The prevailing rates of Stomach cancer and H. pylori infection, coupled with their connection to specific lifestyle practices within the Mizo population, imply the presence of distinct population-specific lifestyle and demographic factors that warrant thorough investigation to effectively tackle the disease.…”
