Helicobacter pylori chronically infects the gastric mucosa of humans and diseases associated with infection include gastritis, peptic ulceration, and development of gastric cancer. The organism displays a distinct tropism for the gastric mucosa of humans and for the gastric mucin MUC5AC. While the majority of organisms are found in the mucus layer overlying the epithelial cells in the stomach, adherence of the organism to the gastric epithelium is necessary for the development of disease. The interaction of H. pylori with epithelial cells results in subversion of host cell signaling and induction of an inflammatory response. Factors that influence the outcome of infection include host genetics, environmental factors, and the phenotype of the infecting strain. In this chapter, we describe cell culture assays to assess the interaction of H. pylori with epithelial cells, immunofluorescent staining to detect H. pylori in infected human gastric biopsy specimens and the use of flow cytometry to detect mucin binding to H. pylori.

() infection is a typical microbial agent that interferes with the complex mechanisms of gastric homeostasis by disrupting the balance between the host gastric microbiota and mucosa-related factors, ultimately leading to inflammatory changes, dysbiosis, and gastric cancer (GC). We searched this field on the basis of PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Most studies show that inhibits the colonization of other bacteria, resulting in a less variety of bacteria in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

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.

To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis, genetic alterations, and biological behaviors of hamartomatous inverted hyperplastic polyp (HIHP) in the gastrointestinal tract. The clinical, sonographic, endoscopic and pathologic data of 10 HIHP cases diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, Xi'an, China from January 2013 to March 2024 were collected. Their clinicopathological features and histological morphology were analyzed.
