Patients suffering from chronic gastritis and developing gastric mucosa atrophy are at increased risk of the development of gastric cancer. The diagnosis of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a complex procedure involving a detailed history taking, a thorough physical examination and the use of laboratory and instrumental diagnostic methods among which the endoscopy of the upper digestive tract is the cornerstone because it allows the assessment of the topography of gastritis and identification of erosions and areas of intestinal metaplasia with the use of NBI endoscopy. However, the diagnosis of CAG requires morphological examination of the gastric mucosa. So, in addition to assessing macroscopic changes in the gastric mucosa, it is necessary to take biopsy specimens in accordance with the protocols for their morphological and immunohistochemical examination. In the absence of specific diagnostic stigmas of CAG, close cooperation between a clinician, endoscopist and pathologist is necessary. The article presents systematized data on the histopathological assessment of the gastric mucosa atrophy to predict the risk of gastric cancer.

Case report: Dieulafoy's lesion as a rare cause of massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

Introduction And Importance: Dieulafoy's lesion is a rare but serious cause of gastrointestinal bleeding, typically affecting older adults. It involves an aberrant arteriole eroding the gastric mucosa, resulting in severe, recurrent bleeding that poses diagnostic and management challenges. We present a case report of massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage with hemodynamic instability associated with a Dieulafoy's lesion.

This cross-sectional study aimed to describe the presence of gastric habronematidosis using gastroscopy and histopathology as diagnostic methods, in addition to evaluating the relationship between the parasite presence and concurrent gastric diseases. Numerous studies have been carried out with equines, mules not being targeted even though these are representative species because of number and the various agricultural tasks they perform worldwide. To fill this gap in the literature, this study evaluated a population of 97 male and female mules over two years old using two diagnostic methods.

Background: Xiaohua Funing Tang (XHFND) is a decoction formula of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and possesses the potential to manage chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) with liver depression and spleen deficiency (LDSD), but the mechanisms were still unclear.
Purpose: Our aim is to reveal the overall synergistic mechanisms of XHFND against CAG with LDSD.
Methods: Based on a CAG rat model with LDSD, this study combined metabolomics, gut microbiota, and network pharmacology techniques to demonstrate the XHFND mechanisms with multiple components and targets.
Differential expression of the ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20 in gastric biopsies indicates the severity of disease.

A20, an ubiquitin-editing enzyme, plays a pivotal role in regulating cell signaling and immune responses. Dysregulated A20 expression has been associated with various pathological conditions, including inflammatory diseases and malignancies, where its expression levels often correlate with differing prognoses in solid tumors. This study aimed to explore the expression and cellular localization of A20 in both nonpathological and diseased human gastric tissues to gain deeper insights into its involvement in gastric pathologies.

The rare gastrointestinal tract epithelial polyp known as a pyloric gland adenoma (PGA) is more common in elderly women and uncommon in the duodenum. There are reports of two PGA cases involving high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia. A 75-year-old man was admitted to the hospital as Patient 1 due to "epigastric distension and pain for more than 10 days".
