Antibiotics may not be enough to stop recurrent gastric lymphoma caused by Helicobacter pylori
Research led by Dr. Anne Mueller at Stanford University School of Medicine demonstrates that successful eradication of Helicobacter may not prevent future aggressive gastric lymphoma since resting B cells are left behind.   view more (2005-08-25)

Helicobacter pylori inhibits intercellular communication of cultured gastric cells
The formation of a cancer is proven to be a multi-stage, multi-mechanism process by animal and human studies. As a definite carcinogen, the role of Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) in the formation of gastric cancer has been unclear.   view more (2007-10-29)

Smokers likely to develop mouth ulcers and cold symptoms up to two weeks after quitting
Smokers develop mouth ulcers and cold symptoms for up to two weeks after giving up their habit, reveals research in Tobacco Control. The body's backlash could deter many ex-smokers from staying the course, unless they know what to expect, suggest the authors. One hundred and seventy four smokers were assessed one week before giving up smoking and... view more... (2003-02-21)

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)

HRT COULD PROTECT AGAINST LEG ULCERS (p 675)
Elderly women given hormone replacement therapy (HRT) could be at a reduced risk of developing leg ulcers and pressure sores, conclude authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Pressure ulcers and venous leg ulcers are common chronic wounds. Oestrogens in the form of HRT might have an effect on wound healing, but this... view more... (2002-02-20)

A new explanation of 'Asian paradox'
Although Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has been classified as a class I (or definite) carcinogen by World Health Organization (WHO), the controversy as to why only a minority of infected patients develop gastric cancer still remains.   view more (2009-10-29)

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)

H Pylori Eradication Reduces Risk Of Peptic Ulcers For Patients Taking Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs
Screening and treatment for infection caused by the gastrointestinal bacterium Helicobacter pylori could substantially reduce the risk of ulcers for patients starting long-term non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) treatment, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. A meta-analysis also published in this week's issue... view more... (2002-01-02)

Improving postoperative quality of life in gastric cancer patients by a special reconstruction method
Given equivalent results with regards to survival, the impact of anastomotic methods on QOL becomes even more important.    view more (2009-07-16)

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)

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)

Commonly used ulcer drugs may offer treatment potential in Alzheimer's disease
In a new study, published in the May issue of Elsevier's Experimental Neurology, scientists at the University of British Columbia have discovered that drugs commonly used to treat ulcers have significant neuroprotective properties, which appear to be enhanced when used in combination with ibuprofen, a widely used anti-inflammatory drug.   view more (2009-04-22)

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)

Glue Ear Could Be Caused By Gastric Juices (p 493)
Glue ear-a frequent cause of deafness in children-could be a result of gastric reflux, which results in stomach proteins accumulating in the middle ear via the Eustachian tube, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET.   view more (2002-02-06)

Candidate markers for gastric cancer
The sequencing of the human genome has opened the door for proteomics by providing a sequence-based framework for mining proteomes.   view more (2008-10-29)

D2 lymphadenectomy improves the long-term survival for patients with node-negative gastric cancer
Many studies favor an extended lymphadenectomy at the time of a potentially curative gastrectomy for node-positive gastric cancer, and the risk of long-term death tends to decrease when the number of resected lymph nodes increases to about 25.   view more (2009-08-27)

Computer simulation at the duodenal stump after gastric resection
There are various types of reconstruction of gastrointestinal continuity after gastric resection. It seems that insufficient attention has been paid to how the geometry and flow conditions affect the gastroduodenal system after distal gastric resection.   view more (2009-05-08)

Study compares gastric bypass and gastric banding surgeries in extremely obese patients
Extremely obese patients who undergo gastric bypass procedures may have fewer complications, a greater reduction in obesity-related diseases, more weight loss and a higher level of satisfaction than those who have gastric banding procedures.   view more (2006-07-18)

A breakthrough in gastric carcinogenesis
Checkpoint with forkhead and ring finger (CHFR) is a mitotic stress checkpoint gene whose promoter is frequently methylated in various kinds of cancer.   view more (2009-06-12)

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)
