The effect of intragastric sucralfate on development of gastric erosions in burns was studied in 20 rats anaesthetised with midazolam/fentanyl/fluanisone. Gastric blood flow was measured by radioactive microspheres immediately before, and 20, 40, and 120 minutes after the rats had been burned. Significantly fewer erosions were found in the 10 rats treated with sucralfate (less than 2% of the gastric mucosal surface was affected) compared with the controls (16% of the mucosa affected). There was no difference in the rate of gastric blood flow in any part of the stomach between the rats treated with sucralfate and the controls. We conclude that sucralfate is effective in preventing gastric erosions in burned rats, but that other mechanisms of action than increase gastric blood flow are responsible for its protective effect.

Introduction: Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have shown promising preclinical activity in gastric cancer cells; unfortunately, however, these could not be confirmed in clinical trials. This highlights the need for the identification of underlying reasons, which may also provide the basis for possible combination therapies. Here, we delineated the effects of HDACi on components of EGFR signalling in gastric cancer cells.

Trousseau's syndrome is a thromboembolic disorder associated with malignancies, with cerebral infarction and hemorrhage representing common central nervous system complications in patients with cancer. This report details the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with gastric adenocarcinoma at our institution who concurrently developed cerebral infarction and subarachnoid hemorrhage. We performed a comprehensive literature review in the Wanfang and PubMed databases, searching for relevant studies on Trousseau's syndrome, cerebral embolism, and subarachnoid hemorrhage.

: Yeokwisan (YWS) is a standardised herbal formula for relieving functional dyspepsia symptoms. : We explored the therapeutic value of YWS and its potential effects on gastritis. Its inhibitory effect on gastric mucosal damage and anti-inflammatory activity in animal models of alcohol- and restraint stress-induced gastritis were also examined.
