Prevalence and Characteristics of Frailty at 6 months FollOwing Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty in Patients With End-Stage OA.

Introduction: Lower-limb osteoarthritis (OA) in the elderly can be a risk factor for frailty, which is the preliminary of disability, but it may be reversible with appropriate interventions. We aimed to use the Kihon Check List (KCL) to assess multiple domains of frailty and to identify the characteristics of frailty in patients with hip or knee OA following total joint arthroplasty.

Materials And Methods: This study included 136 ≥ 65-year-old patients (mean age: 73.

Helicobacter pylori infection and gastric carcinoma in animal models.

Many epidemiological studies have shown a strong association between chronic Helicobacter pylori infection and the subsequent development of gastric carcinoma in humans. To confirm this link more clearly, it is necessary to use this bacterium in experimental studies to develop gastric carcinoma in suitable experimental animals. Persistent H.

Effect of Helicobacter pylori infection on the N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine-induced gastric carcinogenesis in mongolian gerbils.

The effect of Helicobacter pylori infection on N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-induced gastric cancer was studied using a Mongolian gerbil model. Five-week-old male Mongolian gerbils were divided into four groups of 25-30 animals each and challenged for 20 weeks with H.pylori, MNNG, a combination of H.

Development of Helicobacter pylori-induced gastric carcinoma in Mongolian gerbils.

Helicobacter pylori is classified by IARC/WHO as a definite human gastric carcinogen, despite "inadequate experimental evidence." To obtain direct evidence concerning this relationship, we investigated the histopathological findings of gastric mucosa using a model of H. pylori infection in Mongolian gerbils.

Gastric ulcer, atrophic gastritis, and intestinal metaplasia caused by Helicobacter pylori infection in Mongolian gerbils.

Background: Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with gastroduodenal disease in humans. In this study we aimed to show this relationship directly in Mongolian gerbils.

Methods: The animals were challenged orally with H.
