Cholecystokinin-8 protects gastric mucosa against ethanol-induced lesions in rats.

Proc Soc Exp Biol Med

Published: November 1988

Subcutaneous administration of cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8, 10-100 micrograms/kg) reduces in a dose-dependent manner gastric lesions induced by 96% ethanol in rats, and CCK-4, CCK-7, and the CCK-8 nonsulfated form (all up to 100 micrograms/kg sc) were inactive. The presence of the entire molecule and sulfation of the tyrosine in position 2 are necessary for the mucosal protective properties of CCK-8 against 96% ethanol-induced gastric lesions. These effects are probably at least in part, due to a sulfhydryl-sensitive process.

This case report describes a rare case of bi-phenotypic gastric cancer with two distinct, but clonally related, histological components. The first component, associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, exhibited the morphological features of gastric carcinoma with lymphoid stroma, suggesting that EBV, as an effective immunogenic factor, may trigger a prominent immune response within the tumour microenvironment. The second component, which was EBV-negative, displayed tubular/papillary morphology and features of increased biological aggressiveness, such as high-grade areas and lymphatic invasion.

Introduction: Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare type of pancreatic cancer with an extremely low incidence rate and a prognosis that is poorer than that of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Presentation Of Case: We report a case of pure pancreatic SCC in an 80-year-old man. Based on the examination before surgical resection, we did not detect any SCC lesions that might have metastasized to the pancreas.

Division of Gastroenterology, Kingston Health Sciences Centre, Queen's University, Kingston General Hospital, Kingston, Ontario, Canada.

Most gastric neoplastic lesions appear in patients with gastric premalignant conditions. Here, we present the case of a 75-year-old woman with no prior history of infection, with a big gastric adenoma resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection. Histopathological examination revealed high-grade foveolar dysplasia.
