Helicobacter pylori, a human pathogen that colonizes the stomach of 50% of the world's population, is associated with gastritis, gastric adenocarcinoma, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Diseases are characterized by severe inflammatory responses in the stomach that are induced by various chemokines and cytokines. Recently, oncostatin M (OSM), an IL-6 family cytokine, was detected in early gastric cancer biopsies. In this study, we showed that Helicobacter pylori induced secretion of OSM and overexpression of its type II receptor OSMRβ (OSM/OSMRβ) in a human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line (AGS) over 24 h of infection. Furthermore, we showed that the induction of OSM and OSMRβ was carried out by heat-sensitive Helicobacter pylori outer membrane vesicle (OMV) protein. Collectively, our results established, for the first time, a direct relation between Helicobacter pylori OMVs and the OSM/OSMRβ signaling axis.

() is associated with the development of various stomach diseases, one of the major risk factors for stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD). The infection score between tumor and normal groups was compared by single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA). The key modules related to infection were identified by weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA), and functional enrichment analysis was conducted on these module genes.

(SV) is a Gram-positive cocci that thrives in the acidic stomach environment and may cause gastrointestinal symptoms. A 65-year-old woman with a history of gastritis and diabetes presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and weight loss. Initial esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed pyloric stenosis with thickened prepyloric gastric folds, and endoscopic biopsy revealed SV without malignancy.

The management of acid-based disorders was transformed in the 1980s with the advent of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which target the hydrogen-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (proton pump) of the parietal cell. Potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs), a newer class of medications, act at the same proton pump through a novel mechanism resulting in profound and sustained acid suppression. Although trials in Asian populations over the past decades have highlighted the potential benefit of P-CABs, clinical trials in Western populations have been initiated more recently.

Oxidative stress contributes to the development of cardiometabolic diseases and cancers. Numerous studies have highlighted the adverse effects of high reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in the progression of chronic noncommunicable diseases and also during infections. On the other hand, antioxidants play a crucial role in preventing oxidative stress or postponing cell damage via the direct scavenging of free radicals or indirectly via the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE pathway, among others.

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication regimens may have different effects on the gut microbiota. Few studies have analyzed the safety of high-dose dual therapy (HDDT) from a micro-ecological perspective.
