| 1 | Efficacy of long term cyclic administration of the poorly absorbed antibiotic Rifaximin in symptomatic,uncomplicated colonic diverticular disease显示文摘AIM: To comparatively evaluate the long term efficacy of Rifaximin and dietary fibers in reducing symptoms and/or complication frequency in symptomatic, uncomplicated diverticular disease. METHODS: 307 patients (118 males, 189 females, age range: 40-80 years) were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to: Rifaximin (400 mg bid for 7 d every month) plus dietary fiber supplementation (at least 20 gr/d) or dietary fiber supplementation alone. The study duration was 24 mo; both clinical examination and symptoms’ questionnaire were performed every two months. RESULTS: Both treatments reduced symptom frequency, but Rifaximin at a greater extent, when compared to basal values. Symptomatic score declined during both treatments, but a greater reduction was evident in the Rifaximin group (6.4 ± 2.8 and 6.2 ± 2.6 at enrollment, P = NS, 1.0 ± 0.7 and 2.4 ± 1.7 after 24 mo, P < 0.001, respectively). Probability of symptom reduction was higher and complication frequency lower (Kaplan-Meyer method) in the Rifaximin group (P < 0.0001 and 0.028, respectively). CONCLUSION: In patients with symptomatic, uncomplicated diverticular disease, cyclic administration of Rifaximin plus dietary fiber supplementation is more effective in reducing both symptom and complication frequency than simple dietary fiber supplementation. Long term administration of the poorly absorbed antibiotic Rifaximin is safe and well tolerated by the patients,confirming the usefulness of this therapeutic strategy in the overall management of diverticular disease. | Antonio Colecchia Amanda Vestito Francesca Pasqui Giuseppe Mazzella Enrico Roda Francesca Pistoia Giovanni Brandimarte Davide Festi | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007，13，2： | 21 |
| 2 | Body weight, lifestyle, dietary habits and gastroesophageal reflux disease显示文摘While lifestyle modifications are currently used as firstline treatment for subjects with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), the pathogenetic role of lifestyle factors and consequently, the efficacy of lifestyle measures is controversial. Our aim was to systematically review the pathogenetic link between overweight/ obesity, dietary habits, physical activity and GERD, and the beneficial effect of specific recommended changes, by means of the available literature from the 1999 to the present. Obesity, in particular, abdominal obesity, plays a key role in determining GERD symptoms and complications through mechanical and metabolic effects. Controlled weight loss (by diet or surgery) is effective in improving GERD symptoms. No definitive data exist regarding the role of diet and, in particular, of specific foods or drinks, in influencing GERD clinical manifestations. Moderate physical activity seems to be beneficial for GERD, while vigorous activity may be dangerous in predisposed individuals. In conclusion, being obese/overweight and GERD-specific symptoms and endoscopic features are related, and weight loss significantly improves GERD clinical-endoscopic manifestations. The role of dietary behavior, mainly in terms of specific dietary components, remains controversial. Mild routine physical activity in association with diet modifications, i.e. a diet rich in fiber and low in fat, is advisable in preventing reflux symptoms. | Davide Festi Eleonora Scaioli Fabio Baldi Amanda Vestito Francesca Pasqui Anna Rita Di Biase Antonio Colecchia | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009，15，14： | 8 |
| 3 | Diverticular disease of the colon:New perspectives in symptom development and treatment显示文摘Diverticular disease of the colon is a common disease worldwide. Although the disease is asymptomatic in about 70-80 % of patients, it represents, at least in Western countries, one of the most important gastrointestinal diseases in terms of direct and indirect health costs. Pathocenesis of the disease is still unknown. However, it is the result of complex interactions between colonic structure, intestinal motility, diet and genetic factors. Whilst efficacious preventive strategies remain to be identified, fibre supplementation in the diet is recommended. Why symptoms develop is still unclear. Results of recent experimental studies on irritable bowel syndrome speculated that low grade inflammation of colonic mucosa, induced by changes in bacterial microflora,could affect the enteric nervous system, which is crucial for normal gut function, thus favouring symptom development.This hypothesis could be extrapolated also for diverticular disease, since bacterial overgrowth is present, at least in a subgroup of patients. These perspectives on symptom development are reviewed and new therapeutic approaches are hypothesized. | Antonio Colecchia Lorenza Sandri Simona Caoodicasa Amanda Vestito Giuseppe Mazzella Tommaso Staniscia Enrico Roda Davide Festi | 2003 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2003，9，7： | 7 |
