Gastric cancer (GC) is a consequence of multifactorial and multistep processes. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection plays a crucial role in gastric carcinogenesis. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have shown great potential as powerful cancer biomarkers. To investigate the possible roles of lncRNAs and H. pylori infection in GC development, we measured expression levels of three lncRNAs (H19, LINC00152, uc001lsz) in serum from a total of 285 Chinese participants using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. We found significant associations between high expression of both H19 and LINC00152 in serum and increased risk of GC; the adjusted OR for H19 was 2.17 (95% CI: 1.21-3.88), and for LINC00152 was 2.09 (95% CI: 1.18-3.70). Further analyses indicated an elevated risk of GC in subjects with both high H19 expression and H. pylori infection (OR: 13.75, 95% CI: 4.75-39.84). Significant joint effect between LINC00152 and H. pylori infection on risk of GC was also found (OR: 17.49, 95% CI: 4.78-63.92). Serum H19 and LINC00152 may serve as potential biomarkers for diagnosis of GC, particularly for those with H. pylori infection.

Background And Aims: Oral microbiota may contribute to the development of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) disorders. We aimed to study the association between the microbiome of saliva, subgingival and buccal mucosa, and UGI disorders, particularly precancerous lesions. We also aimed to determine which oral site might serve as the most effective biomarker for UGI disorders.

Background: The role of diet in modulating inflammation and its potential impact on cognition has raised attention. Additionally, recent research has addressed the disruption of the gut-brain axis in dementia development. This study aims to explore how the interactions between inflammatory diets and Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection affect cognitive domains in older adults.

Background: Atrophic gastritis is of high risk of progressing to gastric cancer. Screening early gastric cancer and predicting the risk of atrophic gastritis developing into gastric cancer could improve the prognosis of gastric cancer.
Objective: This study evaluated the significance of miR-1260b in early gastric cancer and in the progression of atrophic gastritis to gastric cancer aiming to explore a reliable biomarker.

Gastric cancer (GC) remains a significant global health challenge. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze GC epidemiology and risk factors to inform prevention and intervention strategies. We analyzed the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 data, conducted 16 different machine learning (ML) models of NHANES data, performed Mendelian randomization (MR) studies on disease phenotypes, dietary preferences, microbiome, blood-based markers, and integrated differential gene expression and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data from multiple cohorts to identify factors associated with GC risk.
