Objective: Bile reflux gastritis is caused by the backward flow of duodenal fluid into the stomach. A retrospective cohort study was performed to estimate the prevalence and risk factors of bile reflux gastritis postcholecystectomy, and to evaluate the endoscopic and histopathologic changes in gastric mucosa.
Methods: Patients with refractory upper abdominal pain right below the ribs with symptoms of bloating, burping, nausea, vomiting, and bile regurgitation during the period from January 2018 to December 2020, submitted to Zagazig University Hospitals were enrolled in this study. The studied 64 patients were divided into two groups; the control group (CG): 30 subjects who had never undergone any biliary interventions, and the post-cholecystectomy group (PCG): 34 patients who had undergone cholecystectomy.
Results: The prevalence of bile reflux gastritis was (16.7%) and (61.8%) in CG and PCG, respectively. Diabetes, obesity, elevated gastric bilirubin, and elevated stomach pH were all risk factors for bile reflux gastritis in both groups ( 28,.48,.78,.57 respectively) Age, sex, epigastric pain, heartburn, vomiting, and the existence of bile reflux gastritis, on the other hand, had no correlation.
Discussion: After a cholecystectomy, bile reflux gastritis is prevalent, especially among obese and diabetic patients.

The integrity of esophageal epithelial cells in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or GERD-like symptoms is the first mechanism of protection to decrease the sensitivity to gastric reflux and heartburn symptoms. We investigated the protective effects of Poliprotect (PPRO), a CE-marked medical device, on esophageal epithelial integrity using in vitro and ex vivo models. In vitro, the protective effects of PPRO were tested on Caco-2 cells.

Background: Laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) with Billroth I (B-I) reconstruction is frequently performed for gastric cancer. However, the difference between the circular stapler technique (CS) and delta-shaped anastomosis (DA) remains unclear, especially regarding the postoperative endoscopic physiological findings.
Methods: Three hundred and one patients including 150 CS patients and 151 DA patients during LADG with B-I reconstruction between 2013 and 2019 at Saitama Medical University International Medical Center were chosen as study subjects.
Function Preserving Gastrectomy and Quality of Life.

Advances in gastric cancer screening have enabled earlier detection, shifting the focus of treatment toward preserving patients' quality of life (QoL). Function-preserving gastrectomy (FPG), including pylorus-preserving gastrectomy, proximal gastrectomy, and sentinel node navigation surgery, represents a paradigm shift in the surgical management of early gastric cancer. These techniques aim to balance oncological safety with the preservation of gastric function, mitigating postgastrectomy syndromes such as dumping syndrome, bile reflux, and nutritional deficiencies.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore symptom clusters and the inter-relationship of symptoms in esophageal cancer (EC) patients during the first week after surgery.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey across multiple centers was carried out using the EORTCQLQ-OES18. Patients with esophageal cancer within a week post-surgery were recruited from the "Be Resilient to Cancer" project in Guangdong, Hunan, and Sichuan provinces between January and September 2024.

Fasting is beneficial to alleviate fatty liver, lose weight and improve reproductive function. However, previous studies have shown that, during fasting, disorders of bile acid metabolism were strongly associated with intestinal inflammation. The physiological and biochemical parameters and gene expression of multiple tissues of chickens at every critical time node were measured by ELISA and qPCR.
