A series of 12 normal, nine malignant, and three false positive gastric brushings were evaluated for a number of cytologic criteria; of these criteria, cell arrangement, presence of nuclear engulfment and signet ring cells, and N/C ratio proved to be the most reliable in differentiating benigh from malignant ulcers; it was concluded that use of these three characteristics could substantially reduce the number of false positive gastric brushing reports.

Background And Aim: infection is a major cause of peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. Limited data exist on prevalence and risk factors of infection among elderly individuals in Vietnam. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of infection in elderly Vietnamese patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms.

Brush border membrane (BBM) enzymes greatly affect the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of food nutrients. Despite their physiological importance, a step simulating the final stage of intestinal digestion has not yet been included in the harmonized protocols for in vitro digestion, primarily due to the challenges of replicating the dynamics of intestinal degradation. Herein, we propose an advancement toward a more physiologically relevant method, complementing the harmonized static gastric-duodenal digestion INFOGEST model with the missing small intestinal phase.

Article Synopsis
- Monoclonal antibodies are often used in treating gastrointestinal cancers, but their effectiveness can be limited due to changes in the tumor microenvironment (TME) that suppress the immune response.
- A novel strategy was developed that involves delivering siPD-L1 and pOX40L sequentially, using specially designed carbon nanotubes to enhance the immune response against the tumor.
- This approach significantly increased the maturation of dendritic cells and infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the tumor, improving local antitumor responses and reversing immune suppression, leading to better overall treatment outcomes.

The use of tissue specimens for undergraduate instruction is a very valuable tool. However, fresh tissue specimens are not always available and many common preservation techniques can result in discoloration, offensive odors, and/or dangerous chemical residues. The Elnady Technique was developed as a means to produce tissue specimens that "are realistic, durable, have no offensive odor, and are dry, soft and flexible" (Elnady, F.

Introduction: Unsedated transnasal endoscopy (TNE) as transnasal esophagoscopy (TN-Eso) has emerged as a promising alternative to esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) under sedation to assess eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). We report our center's experience using single-use gastroscopes to perform sedation-free transnasal EGD (TN-EGD) with biopsies in an office-based setting.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed on patients with eosinophilic esophagitis who underwent office-based sedation-free TNE with topical analgesia and virtual reality (VR) procedural dissociation and distraction.
