Activity of Diphenyleneiodonium toward Multidrug-Resistant Strains.

Background/aims: The increased resistance of to antibiotics has increased the need to develop new treatments for this bacterium. The aim of our study was to identify new drugs with anti- activity.

Methods: We screened a small molecule library-the library of pharmacologically active compounds (LOPAC), which includes 1,280 pharmacologically active compounds-to identify inhibitors of growth.

Risk Factors for Metachronous Recurrence after Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection of Early Gastric Cancer.

Although endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is widely accepted as a curative treatment method for early gastric cancer (EGC) worldwide, metachronous recurrence often occurs after ESD for EGC. However, there are insufficient data about the role of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and other risk factors for recurrence.
