Peptic ulcer disease is common and can be diagnosed easily if the patient has an ulcer history or characteristic abdominal symptoms. On the other hand, it may take a long time for the patient to visit the hospital due to severe complications if the patient is old or insensitive to symptoms caused by peptic ulcers. In the present case, a 72-year-old female visited the hospital due to general weakness and inadequate oral intake, which started two weeks ago. Endoscopy and abdominal CT revealed huge gastric ulcer findings. Through a tissue examination by endoscopy, hepatic cells were identified, and the patient was diagnosed with peptic ulcer perforation to the liver and later received surgical treatment.

Objective: Even though the prevalence of malignancy within gastric ulcers is low, surveillance endoscopy is routinely performed after gastric ulcer diagnosis resulting in unnecessary costs and risks. Endoscopic appearance may be used to identify ulcers with malignant features and guide decisions regarding the need for surveillance endoscopy. Our aim was to assess the predictive value of several endoscopic ulcer features with the risk of prevalent malignancy in patients diagnosed with gastric ulcers.

Background: Yoghurt, a fermented dairy product consumed by diverse cultures for centuries, has garnered significant attention from the scientific community due to its potential health benefits and remarkable versatility. This study investigated the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects of pre-treatment with pasteurized yoghurt in indomethacin induced gastric ulceration.
Method: Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into five groups.
Mechanochemical Synthesis of Diclofenac Conjugates with Glucosamine and Chitosan Exhibiting COX-2 Selective Ulcer Safe Anti-inflammatory Activity.

Introduction: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are associated with severe gastrointestinal irritation upon prolonged use, largely due to their carboxylic (-- COOH) functional group.
Aim: To address this issue, we aimed to synthesize diclofenac conjugates with glucosamine and chitosan, converting the -COOH group into an amide (-CONH-) via a mechanochemical, environmentally friendly method.
Method: In this study, diclofenac acid was first converted to its acid chloride using thionyl chloride under mechanochemical conditions and subsequently reacted with glucosamine base and chitosan.

The present study aimed to unveil the gastroprotective potential of Vaccinium macrocarpon (VM) extract and its mechanism of action against indomethacin (INDO)-induced gastric ulcers in rats. To achieve this goal, rats were pretreated with either omeprazole (20 mg/kg) or VM (100 mg/kg) orally for 14 consecutive days. Gastric tissue samples were collected and various parameters were evaluated to understand the mechanism of VM's action, including the levels of superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, glutathione, CAT and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), as well as the mRNA expression levels of tumour necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 1 beta, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and inhibitor kappa B (IκB).
