The present study explored the 24-hr variations in serum gastrin and pepsinogen in clinically healthy subjects and in patients with gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, and erosive gastroduodenopathy. Time-qualified data were analyzed by means of cosinor procedures. Significant changes in rhythmometric properties were documented in patients with peptic disease when compared to clinically healthy subjects. In essence, it was discovered that gastric ulcer patients exhibit a higher mesor and amplitude for both gastrin and pepsinogen, whereas duodenal ulcer patients and those with erosive gastroduodenopathy show only a significant increase in the pepsinogen mesor. These characteristics are so specific in the groups investigated that one can hypothesize that the disorders in the circadian rhythmicity of gastrin and pepsinogen have a role in determining the clinical manifestations of peptic disease.

Aims: This study aims to assess the serum levels of pepsinogen (PG)I, PG II, and gastrin (G17) in patients with gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) and evaluate their correlation with demographic characteristics.
Methods: A total of 247 normal controls (NC) and 240 patients diagnosed with GIM were enrolled in this study. All participants underwent a gastroscopy procedure followed by pathological examination for diagnosis confirmation.

As digestive endoscopy becomes more prevalent, an increasing number of autoimmune gastritis (AIG) cases have been diagnosed, which has contributed to a growing body of research on AIG. We report the case of a patient with AIG who was diagnosed due to receiving endoscopic surgery after discovering a gastric neuroendocrine tumor (GNET) during gastroscopy twice within 3 years. The patient was admitted to our hospital for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) due to GNET recurrence discovered during gastroscopy.

Background: The relationship between autoimmune gastritis (AIG) and gastric polyps (GPs) is not well understood.
Aim: To explore the clinical characteristics and risk factors of AIG with GPs in patients.
Methods: This double center retrospective study included 530 patients diagnosed with AIG from July 2019 to July 2023.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic potential of serum CXC chemokine ligand 5 (CXCL5) in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) and to establish a prediction model for better diagnosis of CAG.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted, encompassing 570 cases of CAG patients admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, who underwent gastroscopy and received pathologically confirmed diagnoses between June 2018 and June 2023. Additionally, 570 cases without CAG who underwent health checkups were included and classified into the control group.

Background/aims: Serum gastrin levels may be elevated following proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. We aim to elucidate the predictors for the development of hypergastrinemia in maintenance treatment for mild gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) using a half-dose PPI.
Methods: This study analyzed data from a prospective randomized trial to compare continuous versus on-demand maintenance treatment modalities in patients with mild GERD.
