• #2 IDDF2018-ABS-0129 Effectiveness of rebamipide in the prevention of esophageal stricture formation in advanced corrosive esophagitis: a prospective randomised control study | Gut

  https://gut.bmj.com/content/67/Suppl_2/A53.2

  Corrosive esophagitis causes significant morbidity with grades 2b and 3 esophagitis developing strictures in 70%100% of cases. Currently, theres no clear evidence in preventing esophageal stricture. However, animal studies show that suppressing inflammation can prevent stricture formation. Rebamipide, an anti-ulcer agent, has been shown to stimulate prostaglandin generation, increases epidermal growth factor expression, increases blood flow, and scavenges active oxygen radicals thereby reducing inflammation. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of rebamipide in preventing stricture formation in advanced corrosive esophagitis. […] PPI with rebamipide is effective in preventing dysphagia and stricture formation among patients with advanced corrosive esophagitis compared to PPI alone. However, this was not effective in preventing gastric stricture formation.

  https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/19/7/2033

  The major function of locally produced melatonin in the GI-tract is to strengthen the esophageal and gastric mucosal barrier and to afford protection against the damage to esophageal and gastric mucosa against the deleterious action of various stressors including mucosal irritants of endogenous or exogenous origin, such as cytotoxins present in the digested food, alcohol consumption and NSAIDs ingestion. […] Melatonin has been shown to afford esophagoprotection against acute esophageal injury from acid and alkaline reflux in animals, but whether melatonin supplementation can protect patients with GERD from esophageal erosions and BE, and from developing neoplasia in humans, requires further clinical trials.

  Melatonin, a highly lipophilic hormone, can reach body target cells rapidly, acting as the circadian signal to alter numerous physiological functions in the body. This review focused on the role played by melatonin in the mechanism of esophagoprotection, starting with its short-term protection against acute reflux esophagitis and then investigating the long-term prevention of chronic inflammation that leads to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Barrett’s esophagus. […] The beneficial influence of melatonin in preventing esophageal injury from acid-pepsin and acid-pepsin-bile exposure in animals as well as the usefulness of melatonin and its precursor, L-tryptophan in prophylactic and supplementary therapy against esophageal disorders in humans, are also discussed. […] Melatonin acts on the target cells either directly or via G-protein coupled membrane receptors, including melatonin MT1R, MT2R and MT3R known to trigger several intracellular messengers such as cAMP, cGMP, and cytosolic Ca2+ concentration.
