Experimental Study to Determine the Effects of Human Refluxate on Macrophage Phenotype and Its Correlation With GERD

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
Interventions
Procedure: Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with biopsy and collection of refluxate
Procedure: Esophageal high-resolution manometry and 24-h esophageal pH-impedance monitoring
Registration Number
NCT02699060
Lead Sponsor
Ivashkin Vladimir Trofimovich
Brief Summary

This study is proposed to evaluate the role of motoric dysfunctions and type of refluxate in GERD patients, analyzed the blood monocyte/macrophage phenotypes of gastroesophageal reflux diseases (GERD) patients.

Detailed Description

Patients with non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (NERD), erosive esophagitis (EE) and Barrett esophagus (BE) were enrolled. We investigated blood monocyte/macrophage phenotype in patients with different forms of GERD. We analysed of macrophages phenotype by CD25, CD80, CD163, CD206 expression for M2 macrophages. All patients underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with esophagus biopsy. GERD patients underwent esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) with a 22-channel water-perfused catheter and Solar GI system (Medical Measurements Systems, Enschede, the Netherlands) and 24-hour impedance and pH monitoring using the Ohmega Ambulatory Impedance pH Recorder (Medical Measurements Systems).
