Objective: To assess the risk factors of stress-related ulcer and gastrointestinal hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Methods: From May 1999 to July 2007, 285 periampullary cancer patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy in our hospital. The clinical data, pathological results, type of operation, and postoperative treatment were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with stress-related ulcer and gastrointestinal hemorrhage were selected for risk factor analysis, and other patients were taken as control group.
Results: 35 patients (12.3%) developed stress-related ulcer and gastrointestinal hemorrhage following pancreaticoduodenectomy. Pathological examination showed pancreatic cancer in 5 cases, duodenal cancer in 8, common bile duct cancer in 10, ampullary carcinoma in 11, and solid-pseudopapillary tumors in 1. Single variate analysis demonstrated that alcohol, preoperative bilirubin level, operation time, lymph node metastasis, prealbumin decrease after operation and other complication were significantly associated with the stress-related ulcer and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Logistic regression in multivariate analysis revealed that preoperative bilirubin level, operation time, other complication, prealbumin decrease after surgery were independent risk factors.
Conclusion: Stress-related ulcer and gastrointestinal hemorrhage are one of the most common complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Preoperative bilirubin level, operation time, other complications, and prealbumin decrease after operation are four independently risk factors.

Oxidative stress is believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), specifically Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). This meta-analysis aimed to identify and quantify the oxidative stress-related biomarkers in IBD and their associations with disease activity. We systematically searched Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, and Web of Science databases, identifying 54 studies for inclusion.

The relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels, genomic response to vitamin D (Vit.D), and positivity to SARS-CoV-2 remains understudied. In this pilot study, during the follow-up of patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and COVID-19, we investigated this issue by analyzing the molecular contents of serum extracellular vesicles (EVs) from six groups of IBD patients (n = 32), classified according to anti-SARS-CoV-2 status, 25(OH)D level, and Vit.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a common chronic disease associated with inflammation and oxidative stress. This study aimed to construct a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)-microRNA (miRNA)-messenger RNA (mRNA) network based on bioinformatics analysis and to explore oxidative stress-related genes underlying the pathogenesis of UC.
Methods: The GSE75214, GSE48959, and GSE114603 datasets were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.

Background: In the bestseller book "Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers", Robert Sapolsky argues that animals do not suffer from stress-related diseases like humans because for them, stress is episodic, while humans in contrast suffer from chronic psychological stress. In particular, the idea that fish cannot experience psychological stress is still prevalent, partly due to the lack of a homologous brain area to the neocortex. However, emerging evidence suggests that teleosts can undergo psychological stress, defined as a subjective and perceptual experience of the stressor, and in recent years, the underlying mechanisms started to be unveiled.

Context: Ulcerative colitis has been clinically treated with Qing Hua Chang Yin (QHCY), a traditional Chinese medicine formula. However, its precise mechanisms in mitigating chronic colitis are largely uncharted.
Objective: To elucidate the therapeutic efficiency of QHCY on chronic colitis and explore its underlying molecular mechanisms.
