Objective: To investigate the occurrence and development of gastric mucosal atrophy due to (Hp) infection and the accompanying histomorphological features.
Methods: Detailed histological observations and immunohistochemical examinations were conducted via 197 endoscopic biopsies and endoscopic submucosal dissection specimens of gastric mucosal atrophic lesions with gastric Hp infection. Detailed observation was made of columnar cells in the proliferative region of the deep gastric pit and the isthmus of the gastric gland, as well as the upper part of the glandular cervix.
Results: The infection of the gastric mucosa by Hp firstly led to the proliferative disorder of stem cells in the normal proliferative region of the gastric mucosa. This caused substantial propagation of cells in the proliferative region of the deep gastric pit and the isthmus of the gastric gland, as well as the upper part of the glandular cervix, as a means to replenish the damaged surface mucus cells. However, the propagation of stem cells in the proliferative region was insufficient for downward migration, and the normal physiological process of differentiation into fundic/pyloric gland cells was disrupted, resulting in glandular atrophy of the intrinsic layer of the gastric mucosa. Persistent Hp infection and disruption of stem cell proliferation in the proliferative region subsequently resulted in extensive segmental hyperplasia of the gastric mucosa and glandular atrophy of the lamina propria.
Conclusion: The occurrence, development, and histomorphological features of gastric mucosal atrophy due to gastric Hp infection provide a reliable pathological basis for precise treatment by clinicians and are of great significance for controlling the development of gastric cancer.

Unlabelled: Endometriosis is a chronic disease characterized by the growth of the endometrium outside the uterine cavity. In response to estradiol, this tissue begins to proliferate and grow, forming lesions and nodules, which can invade the tissues, causing pelvic pain and infertility. The most widely used pharmacological treatment is progesterone, which manages to reduce symptoms, but approximately one-third of patients develop resistance to treatment.

Oral cancer is responsible for increased mortality, especially in the Indian subcontinent. Habits like smoking and tobacco chewing are among the most common causes of oral cancer. Previously, these habits were seen mainly in the elderly; however, the trends have seemed to increase in the younger generation.

Tribulus terrestris L. from the family of Zygophyllaceae, which is rich in saponin compounds, especially diosgenin, has various biological properties, such as anti-inflammation, anti-Alzheimer, anti-obesity, anti-diabetes, anti-leukemia, and anti-cancer activities, due to these compounds. This research aimed to study the diversity of agro-morphological and phytochemical traits and anti-proliferative activity against human prostate cancer cells (PC3) of T.

Skin banks are valuable tools for the maintenance of biodiversity. The red-rumped agouti is a wild rodent of ecological importance in South America because it acts as a seed disperser, and skin banks could serve as alternatives to conserve genetic variability. Nevertheless, the most suitable skin region for forming these banks must still be determined to guarantee tissue quality after cryopreservation.

Senescence is a tumor suppressor mechanism triggered by oncogene expression and chemotherapy treatment. It orchestrates a definitive cessation of cell proliferation through the activation of the p53-p21 and p16-Rb pathways, coupled with the compaction of proliferative genes within heterochromatin regions. Some cancer cells have the ability to elude this proliferative arrest but the signaling pathways involved in circumventing senescence remain to be characterized.
