: Autoimmune gastritis (AIG), characterized with the presence of anti-parietal-cell antibodies (APCA), is a risk factor for gastric cancer. However, AIG may go underdiagnosed, especially in the case of infection and the presence of gastric precancerous lesions (GPL), due to the ambiguous pathology and delayed symptom onset. : Investigate the prevalence and characteristics of AIG in GPL patients. Prevalence of AIG was determined with the presence of APCA in patients with GPL (n = 256) and the control group (n = 70). Pathological characteristics and levels of gastrin 17 (G17), pepsinogen (PG) I and II and anti- IgG were assessed in GPL cases, and the severity of intestinal metaplasia and gastric atrophy was scored by expert pathologists. : APCA positivity was observed in 18% of cases vs. 7% of controls ( = 0.033). Only 3/256 patients were previously diagnosed with AIG. The presence of APCA was associated with corpus-limited and extended GPL. A receiver operating curve analysis demonstrated that the G17 and PGI/II ratio could identify APCA-positive patients within GPL cases (AUC: 0.884). : The prevalence of AIG is higher in patients with GPL but goes undiagnosed. Using G17 and PG I/II as diagnostic markers can help to identify patients with AIG and improve surveillance programs for patients with GPL.

Cancer immunotherapies with antibodies blocking immune checkpoint molecules are clinically active across multiple cancer entities and have markedly improved cancer treatment. Yet, response rates are still limited, and tumour progression commonly occurs. Soluble and cell-bound factors in the tumour microenvironment negatively affect cancer immunity.

The lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) are vulnerable to persistent polymicrobial colonization by bacterial pathogens including , and the non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) . The polymicrobial milieu within the CF lung impacts individual species fitness, influences biofilm-forming capabilities, pathogenicity, production of virulence factors and even antimicrobial responses, all potentially compromising therapeutic success. Interaction studies among these CF pathogens are very limited, especially studies on the influences of and on co-existence and virulence.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to construct a nomogram to identify patients at high risk of gastric precancerous lesions (GPLs). This identification will facilitate early diagnosis and treatment and ultimately reduce the incidence and mortality of gastric cancer.
Methods: In this single-center retrospective cohort study, 563 participants were divided into a gastric precancerous lesion (GPL) group (n=322) and a non-atrophic gastritis (NAG) group (n=241) based on gastroscopy and pathology results.

Mycobacterium abscessus causes severe lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients and exhibits smooth (S) or rough (R) morphotypes. Disruption of glycopeptidolipid (GPL) production results in the S-to-R transition but the underlying molecular mechanisms of this transition remain incompletely understood. Herein, we characterized MAB_4111c in relation to GPL synthesis and investigated the effects of MAB_4111c deletion in M.
