The metabolism of the trace elements is altered in infection or inflammation. Helicobacter pylori infection is a causative in chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcer disease and gastric cancer. It is not known whether H. pylori infection is associated with the changes in the serum levels of trace elements. The aim of this study was to determine serum concentrations of zinc and copper, using atomic absorption spectrophotometer, in patients with H. pylori positive chronic gastritis, patients with H. pylori negative chronic gastritis and healthy individuals. Serum Zn was significantly higher in patients with H. pylori positive chronic gastritis compared to both patients with H. pylori negative chronic gastritis and to healthy individuals, while serum Cu and Cu/Zn ratio was not significantly different in any study group. The serum zinc and copper concentrations were not altered in patients with chronic gastritis.

Gastric cancer is a prevalent gastrointestinal tumor. In the classical cascade of gastric cancer development, the gradual progression from non-atrophic gastritis, atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, to intraepithelial neoplasia eventually leads to early gastric cancer. We investigated the proteomic characteristics of chronic gastritis (CG), low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (low-grade LGIN), and early gastric cancer (EGC).

Background: Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a precursor to gastric cancer, a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite current therapeutic strategies, preventing the transition from gastritis to cancer remains a challenge. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), particularly the Yiqi-Huayu-Jiedu (YQHYJD) formula, have exhibited promising results in CAG management.
