The present study investigated the protective effect of naturally purified 4-(3,4- dihydroxyphenyl)-3-buten-2-one (DHP) from Phellinus linteus against naproxen-induced gastric antral ulcers in rats. To verify the protective effect of DHP on naproxen-induced gastric antral ulcers, various doses (1, 5, and 10 μg/kg) of DHP were pretreated for 3 days, and then gastric damage was caused by 80 mg/kg naproxen applied for 3 days. DHP prevented naproxen-induced gastric antral ulcers in a dose-dependent manner. In particular, 10 μg/kg DHP showed the best protective effect against naproxen-induced gastric antral ulcers. Moreover, DHP significantly attenuated the naproxen-induced lipid peroxide level in gastric mucosa and increased the activities of radical scavenging enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, in a dose-dependent manner. A histological examination clearly demonstrated that the gastric antral ulcer induced by naproxen nearly disappeared after the pretreatment of DHP. These results suggest that DHP can inhibit naproxen-induced gastric antral ulcers through prevention of lipid peroxidation and activation of radical scavenging enzymes.

Primary gastric T-cell lymphomas (PGTL) are exceedingly rare with an estimated incidence of 0.0091 per 100,000 person-years, affecting mainly elderly males. PGTL can present with a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms, but patients only rarely present with perforation.

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.
