Background and Objectives : Contact granuloma is granulation tissue that occurs mainly in the vocal process of arytenoid cartilage. Among several etiological factors, gastric acid reflux is known to be an important cause. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical characteristics of contact granuloma and analyze the effectiveness of proton pump inhibitor in the treatment of contact granuloma. Materials and Methods : We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 40 patients who were treated with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) for contact granuloma from January 2011 to December 2015. Reflux finding score (RFS), reflux symptom index (RSI) and size of granuloma were evaluated before and after treatment serially to assess the effectiveness of proton pump inhibitor. Results : Of 40 patients, 25 patients (62.5%) and 10 patients (25%) showed improvement and partial improvement of granuloma, respectively. Five patients showed no response. The mean times of partial improvement and improvement were $2.08{\pm}2.23$ months and $4.60{\pm}2.77$ months, respectively and mean duration of PPI treatment was $6.8{\pm}5.2$ months. Conclusion : Proton pump inhibitors is effective in the treatment of contact granuloma.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disorder caused by the reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus. According to the recent classification, GERD can elicit esophageal and extraesophageal syndromes. Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is defined as laryngeal symptoms with laryngeal inflammation caused by the acid reflux. The prevalence of GERD and LPR is increasing during the past decades in Korea and management of GERD and LPR is a challenging issue in clinical practice. Proton pump inhibitor is the most effective drug in the treatment of GERD. Most patients with LPR are given a 2-month trial of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), however, there is still little evidence on the diagnosis or the treatment of LPR. During the last years concern have been raised regarding the risk of averse events related to long-term use of PPI. We review the recent update on medical treatment of GERD/LPR.

To treat peptic ulcer diseases, many potent proton pump inhibitors have been developed for suppressing the gastric acid secretion in clinical patients. However, most of these agents have common irreversible mechanisms against H$\^$+/, K$\^$+/-ATPase which might be the cause of hypergastrinemia and ECL cell hyperplasia. Therefore, the development of new reversible inhibitors is prompted. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory mechanism of a newly synthesized proton pump inhibitor, YJA20379-8 using lyophilized hog gastric microsomes. YJA20379-8 inhibited K$\^$+/-stimulated H$\^$+/K$\^$+/-ATPase activity uncompetitively with respect to K$\^$+/, and in the other hand, showed competitive inhibitory pattern with ATP, respectively. From these data, we suggest that YJA20379-8 may be a proton pump inhibitor with a new inhibitory mechanism.

Background: Recent studies have suggested an association between chronic cough and gastroesophageal reflux. Our study aimed to assess the utility of a proton-pump inhibitor in unexplained chronic cough patients. Methods: Patients with chronic cough of unknown etiology were evaluated using a chest x-ray, methacholine challenge test, and an empirical trial of postnasal drip therapy. After excluding other potential causes of the cough, forty patients were included in the study and treated for 8 weeks with a proton-pump inhibitor. Results: Eleven and three patients in the first and second 4 weeks were lost to follow-up, leaving twenty-six patients finally included in the study. Of these patients, two were unimproved, eight partially responded to the proton-pump inhibitor and sixteen responded completely after the 8 week treatment. Conclusion: We suggest that empirical treatment with a proton pump inhibitor in all patients with persistent cough, which is not secondary to asthma or postnasal drip syndrome, represents a practical and simple approach to this ailment.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) study of a new reversible proton pump inhibitor (YH1885, Yuhan Pharmaceutical Co.) was done as a phase 1 clinical trial in Seoul national University Hospital Clinical trialcenter. Single dose of 60, 100, 150, 200, and 300mg were administered to total 20 healthy subjects under fasting state. Six subjects were given 100 mg after food and 12 subjects were given multiple doses of 150 and 300 mg every day for 7 days under fasting state. (omitted)

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), a potent gastric acid inhibitor, are widely used in gastric acid-related diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux disease and peptic ulcer, and are known as the most frequently used drugs worldwide. However, as the frequency of use increases, the number of cases of long-term PPI therapy without clear indications is increasing. Recently, there have been concerns about the risk of gastric cancer in patients with long-term PPI users. Potential mechanisms for the association between PPI and gastric cancer include enterochromaffin-like cell proliferation due to hypergastrinemia caused by gastric acid suppression, progression of atrophic gastritis, and corpus-predominant type through interaction with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Several epidemiologic studies showed controversial results on the issue, and it is difficult to prove a causal relationship between PPI and gastric cancer. Nevertheless, long-term PPI should be administered cautiously based on individual risk-benefit profile, specifically among those with history of H. pylori infection, in high-risk region of gastric cancer.

Background/Aims Potassium-competitive acid blockers are expected to be the next generation of drugs for the treatment of diseases caused by gastric acid. In 2015, vonoprazan fumarate, a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker, was approved by the Japanese health insurance system. Since its approval, patients refractory to vonoprazan can be encountered in clinical settings. We designed this study to clarify the pathophysiology of gastroesophageal reflux disease refractory to vonoprazan. Methods In this retrospective study, we involved patients who had refractory symptoms after administration of standard-dose proton pump inhibitors or vonoprazan and underwent diagnostic testing with esophageal high-resolution manometry and 24-hour multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH monitoring while using proton pump inhibitors or vonoprazan. Patients were diagnosed based on the Rome IV criteria for functional gastrointestinal disorders and diagnostic test results. Results Twenty-seven patients were analyzed during this study. Gastric pH ${\geq}4$ was sustained for a longer period of time, and the esophageal acid exposure time and number of acid reflux events were shorter in the vonoprazan group than in the proton pump inhibitor group. The percentage of patients diagnosed with acidic gastroesophageal reflux disease in the vonoprazan group was lower than that in the proton pump inhibitor group. Conclusions Intra-gastric pH and acid reflux were strongly suppressed by 20-mg vonoprazan. When patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease present symptoms after administration of 20-mg vonoprazan, the possibility of pathophysiologies other than acid reflux should be considered.

Four oxazolidinone analogues(6, 7, 8, 9), which are isosters of 5, were synthesized by the reaction of 2-chloroalkyl-3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxypyridine with the corresponding benzox azolidinone or oxazolidinone, respectively, and were evaluated for their inhibitory activities toward proton pump enzyme under in vitro condition. Isosteric substitution of the benzothiazolidine moiety in 5 with benzoxazolidinone rendered the molecule relatively inactive.

Dose-independent pharmacokinetic parameters of KR-60436, a new proton pump inhibitor, were evaluated after an intravenous, iv (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg) and an oral (20, 50, and 100 mg/kg) administration to rats. The hepatic, gastric, and intestinal first-pass effects were also measured after iv, intraportal (ip), intragastric (ig), and intraduodenal (id) administration at a dose of 20 mg/kg to rats. (omitted)
