The highest pepsinogen concentration was detected in patients with purulent effusion (275.3 ng/mL).Conclusion: Our findings support the theory of gastro-esophageal reflux related pepsinogen transition to the middle ear and indicate that pepsinogen may a reliable biochemical marker for the assessment of gastro-esophageal reflux

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Objectives: This study aims to investigate the presence and concentration of pepsin/pepsinogen in middle ear fluid and to discuss the potential mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of this condition.Patients and Methods: A total of 33 children (21 boys, 12 girls; mean age 5.7±2.4 years; range 3 to 13 years) diagnosed with otitis media with effusion and scheduled for operation were enrolled into the study.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Fluids aspirated from the middle ear were assessed for the presence of pepsinogen and albumin and blood samples were drawn simultaneously for comparison.Results: Mean pepsinogen concentration was statistically significantly higher in middle ear fluids compared with serum samples (262.4 ng/mL [range: 211.7 ng/mL - 301.1 ng/mL] versus 102.6 ng/mL [range: 80.7 ng/mL - 134.5 ng/mL], respectively) (p<0.001).

Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the presence and concentration of pepsin/pepsinogen in middle ear fluid and to discuss the potential mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of this condition.Patients and Methods: A total of 33 children (21 boys, 12 girls; mean age 5.7±2.4 years; range 3 to 13 years) diagnosed with otitis media with effusion and scheduled for operation were enrolled into the study. Fluids aspirated from the middle ear were assessed for the presence of pepsinogen and albumin and blood samples were drawn simultaneously for comparison.Results: Mean pepsinogen concentration was statistically significantly higher in middle ear fluids compared with serum samples (262.4 ng/mL [range: 211.7 ng/mL - 301.1 ng/mL] versus 102.6 ng/mL [range: 80.7 ng/mL - 134.5 ng/mL], respectively) (p<0.001). On the other hand, mean albumin concentration was significantly lower (1.1 g/dL [range: 0.01 g/dL - 9.5 g/dL] versus 5.8 g/dL [range: 0.9 - 9.5 g/dL], respectively) (p<0.001). The highest pepsinogen concentration was detected in patients with purulent effusion (275.3 ng/mL).Conclusion: Our findings support the theory of gastro-esophageal reflux related pepsinogen transition to the middle ear and indicate that pepsinogen may a reliable biochemical marker for the assessment of gastro-esophageal reflux

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada orta kulak sıvısında pepsin/pepsinojen varlığı ve konsantrasyonu araştırıldı ve bu durumun patogenezindeki olası mekanizmalar tartışıldı.Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Efüzyonlu otitis media saptanan ve ameliyat planlanan toplam 33 çocuk (21 erkek, 12 kız; ort. yaş 5.7±2.4 yıl; dağılım 3-13 yıl) çalışmaya alındı. Pepsinojen ve albumin varlığına ilişkin orta kulaktan aspire edilen sıvılar değerlendirildi ve karşılaştırma için eş zamanlı olarak kan örnekleri alındı.Bulgular: Orta kulak sıvılarında ortalama pepsinojen konsantrasyonu serum örnekleriyle karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde yüksekti (sırasıyla 262.4 ng/mL [dağılım: 211.7 ng/mL - 301.1 ng/mL]'ye kıyasla 102.6 ng/mL [dağılım: 80.7 ng/mL - 134.5 ng/mL]) (p<0.001). Diğer yandan, ortalama albumin konsantrasyonu anlamlı olarak düşüktü (sırasıyla 1.1 g/dL [0.01 g/dL - 9.5 g/dL)'ye kıyasla 5.8 g/dL [0.9 - 9.5 g/dL]) (p<0.001). En yüksek pepsinojen konsantrasyonu pürülan efüzyonlu hastalarda saptandı (275.3 ng/mL).Sonuç: Bulgularımız orta kulağa gastro-özofageal reflü ilişkili pepsinojen geçiş teorisini desteklemekte ve pepsinojenin gastro-özofageal reflünün değerlendirilmesi için güvenilir bir biyokimyasal belirteç olabileceğini göstermektedir.
