AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to analyze the relationship between hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor c-Met in both serum and gastric tissues of patients with chronic erosive gastritis.
  • Researchers divided 70 patients into two groups based on their syndrome types and measured HGF and c-Met expression levels in serum and gastric mucosa.
  • Results showed that HGF and c-Met levels were higher in one syndrome group compared to the other and confirmed positive correlations between HGF levels in gastric tissues and serum, indicating potential links to the severity of gastritis.

Article Abstract

Objective To observe the correlation of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and Hepato- cyte growth factor receptor (c-Met ) in serum and gastric mucosa tissues of chronic erosive gastritis pa- tients. Methods Totally 70 patients with chronic erosive gastritis were selected and assigned to turbidity toxin intrinsic syndrome group and Gan-wei disharmony syndrome group, HGF expression level of ser- um,and HGF,c-Met expression level of gastric mucosa tissues were measured;the correlation of HGF and c-Met in gastric mucosa tissues, and the correlation of HGF in serum and gastric mucosa tissues were analyzed. Results The expression level of HGF and c-Met in turbidity toxin intrinsic syndrome group was higher than that in Gan-wei disharmony syndrome group (P <0. 05) ; the expression level of HGF in gastric mucosa tissues was positively correlated with c-Met(r =0. 831 , P <0. 05) ; the expression level of HGF in serum was positively correlated with that of gastric mucosa tissues(r =0. 656, P <0. 05). Conclusions There was correlation between turbidity toxin intrinsic syndrome of Chronic Erosive Gastri- tis patients and the expression level of HGF and c-Met.

Comprehensive analysis of risk factors associated with submucosal invasion in patients with early-stage gastric cancer.

World J Gastroenterol

December 2024

Department of Gastroenterology, Henan Provincial People's Hospital, Zhengzhou University People's Hospital, Zhengzhou 450000, Henan Province, China.

Background: Submucosal invasion in early-stage gastric cancer (GC) is a critical determinant of prognosis and treatment strategy, significantly influencing the risk of lymph node metastasis and recurrence. Identifying risk factors associated with submucosal invasion is essential for optimizing patient management and improving outcomes.

Aim: To comprehensively analyze clinical, imaging, and endoscopic characteristics to identify predictors of submucosal invasion in patients with early-stage differentiated GC.

Vonoprazan is a novel acid blocker with greater potency than proton pump inhibitors. A Japanese study reported no significant safety concerns over 5 years of Vonoprazan use; however, elevated serum gastrin and increased parietal cell and foveolar hyperplasia were observed, and long-term safety data beyond 5 years are limited. We report a case that used Vonoprazan for 6 years, complicated by significant gastric epithelial changes during treatment and acute duodenal mucosal lesions following its discontinuation.

It is known that adverse stimuli, such as altered diets during pregnancy and lactation can result in deleterious effects on the progeny. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible gastrointestinal repercussions in the offspring of Wistar rats exposed to high-fat diets. Pregnant rats were divided into three groups: normolipidic diet (3.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune condition that predominantly affects synovial joints, manifesting with joint swelling, pain, and stiffness. In advanced stages, unchecked inflammation can inflict damage on bone and cartilage, resulting in disabilities and deformities of the joints. Additionally, systemic and extra-articular complications may arise due to the consequences of uncontrolled inflammation.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a common malignant tumor and the third most common cancer in China in terms of mortality. Stomach microorganisms play complex roles in the development of GC. The carcinogenic mechanism of Helicobacter pylori has been elucidated, and there is much evidence that other microorganisms in the gastric mucosa are also heavily involved in the disease progression of this cancer.
