    Abstract Helicobacter pylori is the main etiopathogenetic factor of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. The world's population is shifting towards older people, who have the highest prevalence of H. pylori. Aging-related peculiarities could have an impact on the treatment of H. pylori and there is still a lack of research data in the older population. The aim of this review was to summarize the findings of the most recent information, publications and studies on the issues relating to H. pylori infection in older patients. H. pylori eradication offers gastrointestinal and extra gastrointestinal benefits in older patients. Based on the main guidelines, H. pylori should be eradicated independent of the patient's age, only reconsidering cases with terminal illness and low life expectancy. Proton pump inhibitors are generally safe and well tolerated. Some antibiotics require dose adjustment only in advanced renal insufficiency and the risk of hepatotoxicity is very low. Special precautions should be taken in patients with polypharmacy and those taking aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In older patients, H. pylori eradication treatment frequently causes only mild and short-term adverse events; however, treatment compliance is usually still very good. H. pylori treatment in older patients does not increase the risk of Clostridium difficile infection. Optimal eradication effectiveness (> 90%) is mostly achieved with bismuth- and non-bismuth-based quadruple therapies. Susceptibility-guided treatment of H. pylori can contribute to increasing the effectiveness of eradication regimens in older adults. To achieve optimal H. pylori eradication effectiveness in older patients, the same guidelines, which are applied to adults, also apply to this population: avoiding repetitive treatment prescriptions, choosing quadruple therapies, prescribing longer treatment duration and administering high-dose proton pump inhibitors twice daily.

    Abstract The introduction of allyl fluorides as alternative electrophiles in asymmetric allylic alkylation reactions has recently attracted significant interest. Despite the intrinsic thermodynamically demanding C–F bond-cleavage event, the fluorophilic nature of the silicon atom is key in assisting the activation and cleavage of the allylic C–F bond. Thus, the use of silylated compounds as unconventional nucleophiles, together with the Lewis basicity of fluorine when acting as a leaving group, enables the development of innovative chemical transformations within mild and selective catalytic schemes. This Synpacts article summarizes the diverse defluorinative asymmetric allylic alkylations with allyl fluorides reported to date under both chiral Lewis base and transition-metal catalysis.

    Abstract The combination of a nanofibre net and textile support represents an interesting composite capable of conferring various properties. Nanofibres are so thin that they can be easily damaged by human touch. In this study, we hypothesised that dyeing nanofibres with different colours from their textile supports would result in a colour difference upon their degradation, providing evidence that the composite has been touched and acting as a touch sensor. Two different methods were studied: directly inserting the dye into the polymer via electrospinning or creating a coloured liquid emulsion encapsulated by the polymer via electrospinning. Two black dyes were studied. Colour index (CI) Acid Black 194 was added directly to polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the polymer. Sage oil was used for CI Solvent Black 3. The nanofibre nets were conveniently electrospun on a white polyester fabric; the fabrics were then characterised by colour coordinate analysis, FTIR, and SEM. The results showed that the dyed solution in oil was encapsulated, and the black colour could only be observed when rubbed, whereas the dyed polymer showed a black colour that was removed when rubbed. Therefore, the hypothesis was confirmed, and both samples demonstrated the desired touch sensor behaviour.

    Abstract Turmeric has been widely studied as a color indicator for pH variations due to its halochromic properties. It has been tested in solution or included in some polymeric matrices. Some studies have demonstrated that its change in color is due to the tautomeric species of curcumin, and this property can be observed even if turmeric is assimilated in a film or nanofiber. Chitosan/polyethylene oxide (PEO) polymers have been tested in previous studies. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers are used as potential carriers of drugs once they are insolubilized. The aim of this work is to cross-link PVA with citric acid (CA) to insolubilize the nanofibers and determine the effect on turmeric's halochromic properties. The nanofibers were treated with a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution, and a chromatic study was undertaken to determine color change. The change in color was assessed by eye (subjective) and by spectroscopy (objective). The nanofibers were characterized, in addition to the colorimetric study, by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) as well. The results demonstrate how thermal treatment induces cross-linking between the nanofibers, allowing them to keep their shape once the NaOH solution is applied to them. The opposite effect (solubilization) can be observed for non-cross-linked (NCL) samples. Although the final color varied, the cross-linked (CL) nanofibers' halochromic behavior was maintained. It was demonstrated that during cross-linking, ester groups are formed from the free carboxyl group in the cross-linked CA and the ketones present in the curcumin under acid conditions. So, CA acts as an acid catalyst to bond turmeric to the cross-linked PVA nanofibers.

    Abstract Tofacitinib is an oral synthetic small-molecule inhibitor of Janus kinases, which are involved in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases, representing a new therapeutic option for ulcerative colitis. The efficacy and safety of tofacitinib have been demonstrated in clinical trials in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, and it has recently been approved by the European Medicines Agency to treat this disease. This article reviews the most relevant characteristics of tofacitinib, its main differences from biological agents, the studies which demonstrate its efficacy in patients with ulcerative colitis, and its optimal use in different clinical situations.

    Title translation Características epidemiológicas, clínicas y respuesta al tratamiento en 113 pacientes con colitis microscópica.
    Abstract Objective: To study the epidemiological and clinical characteristics, and response to treatment in patients with microscopic colitis.
    Patients and method: Epidemiological, clinical, blood test and endoscopic data were retrospectively collected from 113 patients with microscopic colitis. Response to treatment was analyzed in 104 of them. Efficacy and relapse after treatment with budesonide were assessed using survival curves (Kaplan-Meier).
    Results: 78% of the patients were women, with a mean age of 65 ± 16 years. In smokers, the mean age was 10 years younger. 48% of them had some concomitant autoimmune disease; 60% suffered a single outbreak of the disease. The clinical presentation was similar in both subtypes, although patients with collagenous colitis had a chronic course more frequently (48% vs. 29%, p = 0.047). The remission rate with budesonide was 93% (95% CI 82-98). The cumulative incidence of relapse, after a median follow-up of 21 months, was 39% (95% CI 26-54%): 19% at one year, 32% at two years, and 46% at three years of follow-up. There were no differences in clinical response to budesonide based on smoking habit or microscopic colitis subtype.
    Conclusions: Microscopic colitis is more frequent in elderly women. Smoking was associated with earlier onset of the disease, although it did not influence the clinical course or response to treatment. The majority (> 90%) of patients treated with budesonide achieved remission, although nearly half subsequently relapsed.
