Changes in the antral gastric mucosa of patients with doudenal ulcer after a long-term administration of antisecretory agents were studied. The subjects were five patients with a different duration of the disease. The methods applied included light and electron microscopy of tissue samplings taken from the antral part of the stomach during the periods of exacerbation and remission. In addition to well-known morphological changes, cellular principalis not typical of antral gastric mucosa were found in one patient during exacerbation and remission periods.

Background: This study aimed to compare outcomes following antral preserving (AP) and antral resecting (AR) laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in terms of weight loss, gastric emptying time, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), resolution of associated medical problems, and complications.
Methods: Patients were prospectively randomized into two groups: the AR group (resection starting 2 cm from the pylorus) and the AP group (resection at 5 cm from the pylorus). Follow-up evaluations included assessments of weight loss using percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) and percentage of total weight loss (%TWL), gastric emptying, GERD symptoms, associated medical problem resolution, residual gastric volume, and complications.

Aims: , the dominating cause of gastric cancer, most often infects children initiating inflammation in the antral part and spreads orally to the oxyntic mucosa. Traditionally, eradication of has been based upon a combination of antibiotics together with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) to reduce gastric destruction of the antibiotics. Recently it has been shown that the more efficient inhibitors of acid secretion, the potassium-competitive acid blockers (PCABs) in combination with amoxicillin alone gave highly sufficient eradication.

Stomach cancer remains a significant cause of mortality, as most patients are diagnosed at advanced stages. The primary method for diagnosis is endoscopy, along with tissue acquisition, supplemented by endoscopic ultrasound or computed tomography for disease staging. While point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is now firmly integrated into clinical practice, it is still not widely utilized.

Gastric cancer (GC) remains a significant global health challenge due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. The development of GC is a multi-hit process and the exploration of precancerous lesions is crucial. To elucidate the molecular and cellular dynamics underlying gastric carcinogenesis, we conducted an integrative single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of 26,028 high-quality cells from gastric antral mucosa biopsies across various stages, including non-atrophic gastritis, chronic atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, and early gastric cancer.

Rationale: Multiple primary cancer is common in clinical practice, but its diagnosis process is complicated, and relevant genetic testing is required to assist in diagnosis when necessary. The formulation of treatment strategies for multiple primary cancer is a highly personalized process. In this article, we introduce a case of a patient with rectal cancer and gastric cancer who was diagnosed with multiple primary cancers, to investigate and explore the clinical application value of next-generation sequencing (NGS) testing in patients with multiple primary gastric and colorectal cancers.
