AIM: To compare efficacy of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) with H2-receptor antagonists (H2RA$) plus pro- kinetics (Proks) for dysmotility-like symptoms in func- tional dyspepsia (FD). METHODS: Subjects were randomized to receive openlabel treatment with either rabeprazole 10 mg od (n = 57) or famotidine 10 mg bid plus mosapride 5 mg tid (n = 57) for 4 wk. The primary efficacy endpoint was change (%) from baseline in total dysmotility-like dyspepsia symptom score. The secondary efficacy endpoint was patient satisfaction with treatment. RESULTS: The improvement in dysmotility-like dyspep- sia symptom score on day 28 was significantly greater in the rabeprazole group (22.5% ± 29.2% of baseline) than the famotidine + mosapride group (53.2%±58.6% of baseline, P 〈 0.0001). The superior benefit of rabeprazole treatment after 28 d was consistent regardless of Helicobacter pylori status. Significantly more subjects in the rabeprazole group were satisfied or very satisfied with treatment on day 28 than in the famotidine + mosapride group (87.7% vs 59.6%, P = 0.0012). Rabeprazole therapy was the only significant predictor of treatment response (P 〈 0.0001), defined as a total symptom score improvement ≥ 50%. CONCLUSION: PPI monotherapy improves dysmotil- ity-like symptoms significantly better than H2RAs plus Proks, and should be the treatment of first choice for Japanese FD.

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and long-term outcomes of endoluminal gastroplication (ELGP) in pa- tients with proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-resistant, non- erosive reflux disease (NERD). METHODS: The subjects were NERD patients, diag- nosed by upper endoscopy before PPI use, who had symptoms such as heartburn or reflux sensations two or more times a week even after 8 wk of full-dose PPI treatment. Prior to ELGP, while continuing full-dose PPImedication, patients' symptoms and quality of life (QOL) were assessed using the questionnaire for the diagno- sis of reflux disease, the frequency scale for symptoms of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (FSSG), gastroin- testinal symptoms rating scale, a 36-item short-form. In addition, 24-h esophageal pH monitoring or 24-h in- traesophageal pH/impedance (mii-pH) monitoring was performed. The Bard EndoCinchTM was used for ELGP, and 2 or 3 plications were made. After ELGP, all acid reducers were temporarily discontinued, and medica- tion was resumed depending on the development and severity of symptoms. Three mo after ELGP, symptoms, QOL, pH or mii-pH monitoring, number of plications, and PPI medication were evaluated. Further, symptoms, number of plications, and PPI medication were evalu- ated 12 mo after ELGP to investigate long-term effects. RESULTS: The mean FSSG score decreased signifi- cantly from before ELGP to 3 and 12 mo after ELGP (19.1 :k 10.5 to 10.3 + 7.4 and 9.3 + 9.9, P 〈 0.05, respectively). The total number of plications decreased gradually at 3 and 12 mo after ELGP (2.4 + 0.8 to 1.2 :l: 0.8 and 0.8 :l: 1.0, P 〈 0.05, respectively). The FSSG scores in cases with no remaining plications and in cases with one or more remaining plications were 4.4 and 2.7, respectively, after 3 too, and 2.0 and 2.8, respectively, after 12 mo, showing no correlation to plication loss. On pH monitoring, there was no differ- ence in the percent time pH 〈 4 from before ELGP to 3 mo after. Impedance monitoring revealed no changes
