Gastric cancer with 3 pathological features
Primary carcinoma of the stomach is almost always adenocarcinoma or signet ring cell carcinoma and there are few reports of choriocarcinoma or neuroendocrine cell carcinoma.   view more (2008-09-18)

A new insight on ethanol-induced gastric mucosa injury
Many people all over the world indulge themselves in drinking, which is correlated to a wide spectrum of medical, psychological, behavioral, and social problems.   view more (2008-10-24)

What are the essential characteristics of serum PG in Chinese?
Pepsinogen (PG) is a precursor for pepsin, a digestive enzyme specifically produced in the gastric mucosa. Human PG can be classified into two different biochemical and immunological properties, PGI and PGII.   view more (2008-01-17)

MDCT, virtual gastroscopy and MPR images differentiate malignant and benign gastric ulcers
Multidetector CT using virtual gastroscopy and post contrast enhanced multiplanar reformation images can be useful in differentiating between malignant and benign gastric ulcers, according to a recent study conducted by researchers from Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.   view more (2008-07-17)

A potent and selective anti-tumor agent on human gastric cancer
A research article to be published on June 21, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology addresses this question.   view more (2009-06-29)

A new molecular marker of gastric cancer
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies in the world with a high incidence and death rate. TNM staging system is used worldwide to predict prognosis and direct therapeutic decisions of patients with GC.   view more (2009-03-31)

PPAR-g agonists have potential therapeutic role in gastric carcinoma?
Recently, the potential of PPAR-γ as a target for the prevention and treatment of cancer has been widely studied.   view more (2009-08-27)

HtrA1 and resistance to chemotherapy in ovarian and gastric cancers
While many cancer patients initially have a favorable response to chemotherapy for the treatment of solid tumors, resistance to treatment often develops.   view more (2006-06-09)

A potential treatment for gastric motility disorders
GES or pacing has been under investigation as a potential therapy for gastrointestinal motility disorders. Conventionally, GES is performed using a single pair of electrodes or single-channel GES.   view more (2009-06-11)

How is H pylori adhesion to gastric cells associated with MUC1 mucin VNTR size?
The Gram negative bacterium H pylori is involved in the pathogenesis of several gastrointestinal diseases, ultimately leading to gastric carcinoma. Adhesion of the bacteria to the gastric mucosa is an essential step for colonization and infection.   view more (2008-03-19)

Is it possible to differentiate GISTs from leiomyomas by endoscopic ultrasonography?
A research article to be published on July 21, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology addresses this question. This research led by Professor Kim and his colleagues in Pusan National University, South Korea.   view more (2009-07-29)

Early treatment of stomach infection may prevent cancer
Based on research using a new mouse model of gastritis and stomach cancer, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) say that prompt treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections reverses damage to the lining of the stomach that can lead to cancer.   view more (2008-05-01)

Dietary modifications may not benefit cancer patients
One study, a meta-analysis of 59 trials, found little evidence that diet is associated with survival or prognosis. The other study suggests that neither use of garlic nor vitamin supplements delays the progression of precancerous gastric lesions to cancer.   view more (2006-07-19)

Optimal band imaging with endoscopy facilitates the diagnosis of depressed-type early gastric cancer
A study from the Jichi Medical University in Japan shows that optimal band imaging used with an endoscope provided images that clearly identified depressed-type early gastric cancer without magnification in 96 percent of study participants.   view more (2008-02-19)

A potential route for human tumor gene therapy
The type 1 Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE1) is a transmembrane protein found in all eukaryotic cells. One of its functions is to evacuate excessive H+ in the cytoplasm by means of Na+-H+ exchange, resulting in stable intracellular pH value.   view more (2008-05-21)

Heterotopic gastric tissue simulating acute appendicitis
It is not uncommon to find tissue that normally lines the stomach in locations outside of the digestive tract. This "heterotopic" gastric tissue has been identified in such diverse locations as the scrotum, the gall bladder, and the spinal cord.   view more (2008-05-21)

Gastric juice for diagnosis of H. pylori infection in patients on proton pump inhibitors
This study determined the efficiency of a gastric juice PCR test for the detection of H. pylori infection in patients receiving PPI therapy and compared it with histology and gastric biopsy PCR.   view more (2008-04-30)

Stomach receptor for H. pylori discovered
Scientists have determined that decay-accelerating factor (DAF), a protein found in epithelial cells in the stomach, acts as a receptor for the bacteria Helicobacter pylori.   view more (2006-05-05)

Stomach cancer rate set to fall further 25 percent over next decade
New cases of stomach cancer are set to plummet a further 25 per cent in the West over the next decade, indicates research published ahead of print in the journal Gut.   view more (2007-08-14)

Can EP4 agonist alleviate gastric lesions?
Over 300 million patients use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the world to treat pain, arthritis, fever and other diseases. Nearly 30% of the users suffer from gastric lesions and bleeding.   view more (2009-11-18)
