Objective: To study the histopathological staging of atrophic lesions of the gastric mucosa.

Methods: Histology and immunohistochemistry were used to closely examine 2144 specimens of atrophic gastric mucosa that were taken from endoscopic biopsies.

Results: When the gastric mucosa epithelium is affected by infection, chemical stimulation, immune factors, genetic factors, and other factors, it may cause an atrophy of gastric mucosa epithelium and a decrease in the number of glands, intestinal metaplasia, hyperplasia of smooth muscle fibers, and atrophy of stem cells in the proliferative zone. In this study, we characterized the above lesions as atrophic lesions of the gastric mucosa. Based on the morphological and histological characteristics of the lesion, as well as the law of cell proliferation and transformation during its occurrence and development, we propose five stages. We also noted the onset age, gender correlation, and histopathological characteristics of each stage of gastric mucosal atrophies.

Conclusion: Understanding the pathological staging of gastric mucosal atrophy is essential for treating patients correctly and keeping track of changes in malignant cells. It is also very important in preventing the initiation of gastric cancer or from getting worse.

Article Synopsis
  • Zolbetuximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody designed to target the Claudin 18.2 protein, which is overexpressed in certain gastrointestinal cancers, notably gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomas.
  • This drug initiates an immune response to attack cancer cells when combined with standard chemotherapy regimens, and it has been approved as a first-line treatment for advanced, unresectable cancers in specific patient populations.
  • Clinical trials show that zolbetuximab significantly improves progression-free survival and overall survival rates compared to chemotherapy alone, while maintaining a relatively safe profile for patients.

Background: Yoghurt, a fermented dairy product consumed by diverse cultures for centuries, has garnered significant attention from the scientific community due to its potential health benefits and remarkable versatility. This study investigated the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects of pre-treatment with pasteurized yoghurt in indomethacin induced gastric ulceration.

Method: Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into five groups.

Article Synopsis
  • Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) lymphoma, particularly gastric MALToma, is often associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, though a significant number of cases occur without it.
  • A study analyzed 52 patients with gastric MALToma from 2000 to 2021, finding that 48.1% were H. pylori-negative (HPN) and noted trends of increased HPN diagnoses in more recent years.
  • Treatment outcomes showed that HPP patients had better responses to eradication therapy compared to HPN patients, who were more likely to receive additional chemo or radiotherapy.
  • Despite these differences in treatment response, clinical features between HPP and HPN patients
