Abstract	Colorectal polyps are the precursor lesions of most colorectal cancers. This study aimed to evaluate associations between bone mineral density (BMD), metabolic syndrome (MetS), and gastrointestinal diseases with colorectal polyps in middle-aged and elderly populations. A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed using data from the health examination database of a tertiary medical center in southern Taiwan in 2015. Subjects aged 50 years and older who had been assessed for metabolic factors and had undergone colonoscopy, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scan (DEXA) were included. Factors associated with colorectal polyps were evaluated using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. In total, 1515 subjects were included, with mean age 60.1 years. Among them, 710 (46.9%) had colorectal polyps. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high fasting glucose (OR = 1.08, p = 0.001), high triglycerides (OR = 1.02, p = 0.008), high total cholesterol (OR = 1.004, p = 0.009), reflux esophagitis (OR = 1.44, p = 0.002), duodenal polyps (OR = 1.75, p = 0.026), gastric ulcer (OR = 1.38, p = 0.024), duodenal ulcers (OR = 1.45, p = 0.028), osteopenia (OR = 1.48, p = 0.001), and MetS (OR = 1.46, p < 0.001) were independently associated with colorectal polyps. In conclusion, hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, MetS, duodenal polyps, gastric and duodenal ulcers, reflux esophagitis, and low BMD are independent risk factors associated with colorectal polyps in the middle-aged and elderly Taiwanese population.

Abstract	Background: Aging may affect the efficacy of Helicobacter pylori eradication. The aim of our study was to assess the efficacy and safety of 7-day non-bismuth concomitant quadruple therapy as a first-line H. pylori infection eradication regimen in elderly individuals. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a cohort with prospectively collected data from January 2013 to December 2019 at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Kaohsiung. There were 408 naive infected subjects aged 20 years or older who were treated with 7 days of concomitant therapy as a first-line H. pylori eradication regimen. We divided the patients into an elderly group (aged ≥ 65 years) and a control group (aged < 65 years). Two patients were lost during follow-up in the elderly group and 29 patients were lost in the control group, resulting in 56 in the ≥ 65-year age group and 321 in the control group. The patients were asked to perform urea breath tests 8 weeks later. Results: The eradication rates for the elderly and control groups were 93.1% (95% confidence interval (CI): 83.3-98.1) and 84.0% (95% CI 79.7-87.7) (p = 0.070), respectively, in the intention-to-treat analysis, and 96.4% (95% CI 87.6-99.6) and 91.6% (95% CI 88.0-94.4) (p = 0.210), respectively, in the per-protocol (PP) analysis. The adverse event rates were 8.9% in the elderly group and 12.8% in the control group (p = 0.417). The compliance was 100% in both groups. No significant difference was seen in antibiotic resistance in either group. Multivariate analysis revealed that metronidazole resistance (odds ratio (OR) 6.870, 95% CI 1.182-39.919, p = 0.032) and dual-therapy resistance (OR 7.188, 95% CI 1.326-38.952, p = 0.022) were independent factors for eradication failure. Conclusions: The efficacy of non-bismuth concomitant quadruple therapy in the elderly cohort was comparable with that in the non-elderly cohort for first-line H. pylori eradication with acceptable adverse effects.

Abstract	Background: Statins may reduce the risk of recurrent gallstone disease by decreasing bile cholesterol saturation and pathogenicity. However, limited studies have investigated this issue. This study aimed to assess whether statin doses and serum cholesterol levels were associated with a decreased risk of recurrent biliary stone diseases after the first event index, with a follow-up time of 15 years. Methods: Based on the Chang Gung Research Database (CGRD) between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2020, we enrolled 68,384 patients with the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth and Tenth Revision codes of choledocholithiasis. After exclusions, 32,696 patients were divided into non-statin (<28 cDDD, cumulative defined daily doses) (n = 27,929) and statin (≥28 cDDD) (n = 4767) user groups for analysis. Serum cholesterol trajectories were estimated using group-based trajectory modeling (n = 8410). Results: The statin users had higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) scores than the non-statin users. Time-dependent Cox regression analysis showed that statin use >365 cDDD was associated with a significantly lower risk of recurrent biliary stones (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 0.28, 95% CI, 0.24-0.34; p < 00.0001), acute pancreatitis (aHR = 0.24, 95% CI, 0.17-0.32, p < 00.0001), and cholangitis (aHR = 0.28, 95% CI, 0.25-0.32, p < 00.0001). Cholecystectomy was also a protective factor for recurrent biliary stones (aHR = 0.41, 95% CI, 0.37-0.46; p < 00.0001). The higher trajectory serum cholesterol group (Group 3) had a lower risk trend for recurrent biliary stones (aHR = 0.79, p = 0.0700) and a lower risk of cholangitis (aHR = 0.79, p = 0.0071). Conclusion: This study supports the potential benefits of statin use and the role of cholecystectomy in reducing the risk of recurrent biliary stone diseases.

Abstract	Background: High-dose dual therapy (HDDT) using proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) and amoxicillin attracted attention for its simplicity and lower adverse event profile. Besides, vonoprazan is not available worldwide. This real-world study aims to compare the efficacy of esomeprazole-based and rabeprazole-based HDDT regimens and to identify clinical factors influencing outcomes. Methods: A retrospective study enrolled 346 Helicobacter pylori-infected naïve patients from January 2016 to August 2023. Patients were assigned to either a 14-day esomeprazole-based HDDT (EA-14; esomeprazole 40 mg t.i.d. and amoxicillin 750 mg q.i.d. for 14 days, n = 173) or a 14-day rabeprazole-based HDDT (RA-14; rabeprazole 20 mg and amoxicillin 750 mg q.i.d. for 14 days, n = 173). Results: Five patients from the EA-14 group and 10 from the RA-14 group were lost to follow-up, resulting in 168 and 163 patients for the per-protocol (PP) analysis, respectively. Eradication rates for the EA-14 and RA-14 groups were 90.2% and 80.9% (P = 0.014) in intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis; and 92.9% and 85.9% (P = 0.039) in PP analysis. Adverse event rates were similar between the two groups (11.9% vs 11.7%, P = 0.944). In multiple logistic regression analysis, age≧60 was associated with eradication failure (P = 0.046) and a trend of significance for smoking (P = 0.060) in the EA-14 group but not in the RA-14 group. A trend of significance was also observed for eradication regimens (EA-14 vs RA-14) (P = 0.071). The antibiotic resistance rates were amoxicillin (2.3%), clarithromycin (14.7%), metronidazole (40.3%), and dual resistance to clarithromycin and metronidazole (7.0%). Conclusions: Esomeprazole-based HDDT achieved over 90% eradication rates but rabeprazole-based HDDT, which failed.

Abstract	Background: Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), used for choledocholithiasis treatment, carries a risk of pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) due to communication between the biliary system and bowel contents. However, limited data exists on this issue. This study aims to identify the risk factors pertaining to liver abscesses following ERCP lithotomy. Methods: We conducted a retrospective case series across multiple centers to evaluate patients who developed PLA after ERCP for choledocholithiasis. Data was obtained from the Chung Gung Research Database (January 2001 to December 2018). Out of 220 enrolled patients, 195 were categorized in the endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) group, while 25 were in the non-ES group for further analysis. Results: The non-ES group had significantly higher total bilirubin levels compared to the ES group (4.3 ± 5.8 vs 1.9 ± 2.0, p<0.001). Abscess size, location, and distribution (single or multiple) were similar between the two groups. The most common pathogens were Conclusion: PLA incidence was higher in the ES group compared to the non-ES group following ERCP for choledocholithiasis. Attention should be given to significant risk factors, including concurrent malignancies, elevated total bilirubin levels, multiple abscess lesions, and growth of enterococcus pathogens, to reduce in-hospital mortality.

Abstract	Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) affects a significant proportion of individuals, with life stress being a contributing factor. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between psychosomatic evaluations, heart rate variability (HRV), and GERD in a cohort of individuals. Additionally, the study aimed to analyze the sequencing changes following proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment and identify predictive factors associated with refractory GERD. Methods: A prospective cohort of 105 individuals with reflux esophagitis and a control group of 50 participants without acid reflux symptoms were enrolled. Psychosomatic evaluations, including GERDQ, GERDQLQ, RSI, BAI, BDI, and SSS-8, were assessed at baseline and during treatment. HRV parameters were also evaluated. Multivariate analysis was used to identify predictive factors for refractory GERD. PPIs were administered regularly for the initial 2 months and then used on-demand. Refractory GERD was defined as less than 50% improvement in symptom relief or GERDQLQ score ≥ 20 after 8 weeks of PPI treatment. Results: The GERD group had higher scores in all psychosomatic evaluations compared to the control group (all Conclusions: This study emphasizes the importance of considering physiological and psychological factors in the management of GERD. Psychosomatic evaluations provide valuable insights for assessing and treating GERD patients. Integrating stress management and comprehensive assessments into personalized treatment strategies is crucial.
