Background And Aim: Gastrin is a growth factor for the gastric epithelial cells. However, it is unknown how gastric receptor (GR) expression is regulated in the gastric mucosa. We studied GR expression using a newly raised antibody and investigated the relationship between GR expression and gastritis.
Methods: Gastric receptor expression in 63 human gastric mucosa was studied. Helicobacter pylori infection and histological gastritis status were evaluated in gastric biopsy samples. In gastric ulcer cases, additional biopsy specimens were taken from injured mucosa. Fasting sera were collected and serum gastrin level evaluated. MKN-28 cells were cultured at various pH conditions, and the change in GR expression was determined.
Results: Gastric receptor expression was detected in the foveolar epithelium of the gastric mucosa, and its expression was stronger in patients infected with H. pylori. In particular, higher expression was detected in regenerating injured mucosa. There was no association between gastritis score/serum gastrin level and GR expression in H. pylori-positive cases. In MKN-28 cells, GR protein expression was lower in neutral conditions than in acidic or alkaline conditions.
Conclusion: Gastric mucosal injury with H. pylori infection destroys the pH barrier on the foveolar epithelium and may induce GR expression through pH changes.

There is currently a lack of clarity concerning the types and frequency of mucosa injuries occurring in urine bladders among patients with indwelling urine catheters that are of modern design and material. The aim of the study was to identify and present the available information regarding mucosa injuries in urine bladders among adult patients with indwelling urine catheters. The research question was: What is known about mucosa injuries in urine bladders among patients with indwelling urine catheters? A scoping review applying the patient, exposure, and outcome framework.

Objective: To provide a comprehensive summary of the available evidence on the oral microbiota of humans and non-human primates about the etiology of periodontal disease.
Design: An integrative literature review was conducted on 398 clinical and observational articles published between 2010 and 2024 using searches in the MEDLINE/PubMed, Virtual Health Library, and SciELO databases. After the screening, eligibility, data extraction, and methodological quality assessment, 21 studies were selected.
Local tissue response to a C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12 therapy for fecal incontinence in a rabbit model.

This study aimed to determine if local injection of CXCL12 reduces sphincter fibrosis, restores sphincter muscle content, vascularization, and innervation, and recruits progenitor cells in a rabbit model of anal sphincter injury and incontinence. Adult female rabbits were assigned to 3 groups: uninjured/no treatment (control), injured/treated (treated), and injured/no treatment (untreated) (n=4 each). Injured groups were anesthetized and a section of external anal sphincter was removed at the 9:00 o'clock position.

Background: Radiotherapy for pelvic malignant tumors inevitably causes intestinal tissue damage. The regeneration of intestinal epithelium after radiation injury relies mainly on crypt fission. However, little is known about the regulatory mechanisms of crypt fission events.
