Prevalence of chronic gastritis has markedly declined in developed populations during the past decades. However, chronic gastritis is still one of the most common serious pandemic infections with such severe killing sequelae as peptic ulcer or gastric cancer. Globally, on average, even more than half of people may have a chronic gastritis at present. Helicobacter pylori infection in childhood i...

To evaluate the expression pattern of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF4α) in chronic gastritis and reveal the relationship between HNF4α expression and severity of chronic gastritis. Biopsy samples from the gastric mucosa of 225 patients and 5 control subjects were collected. The expressions of P1 promoter-driven HNF4α (P1-HNF4α) and P2 promoter-driven HNF4α (P2-HNF4α) in chronic gastritis wer...

Chronic gastritis is a prevalent gastroentestinal disease in Korea. The purpose of this study was to investigate status of foods and nutrients intake and health related biochemical indicators in the patients with chronic gastritis. Daily food and nutrient intake, blood lipids, and antioxidant indicators in the urine, were compared between a group of 19 patients diagnosed with chronic gastritis ...

Gastritis is a common disease in dogs. According to studies, about 40% of dogs suffering from vomiting end up with chronic gastritis or those with no digestive symptoms reveal some levels of gastric histo-pathologic lesions. Studies on dogs and cats indicate that the most prevalent form of chronic gastritis is the lymphocytic plasmocytic form associated with lymphoid follicular hyperplasia and ...

An investigation of 102 men comprising alcoholics, patients with non-ulcer dyspepsia, and healthy controls is reported. It demonstrates that alcohol is a cause of chronic gastritis and the severity of the mucosal lesion is directly related to the duration of excess drinking. Contrary to popular belief, chronic gastritis does not give rise to symptoms. The effect of alcohol on the gastric mucosa...

Gastric cancer is still a major cause of mortality due to cancer worldwide. The most common type of gastric cancer is intestinal type carcinoma, which usually occurs in stomachs containing chronic atrophic gastritis. Individuals with chronic atrophic gastritis are considered to be at increased risk for developing intestinal type carcinoma of the stomach. To examine the association between chron...

Helicobacter Pylori (HP) were found in 878 (73%) of 1205 patients undergoing upper G-I endoscopy with multiple biopsies for gastroduodenal diseases. HP were present in similar percentages among patients with active (89%) or healed (81%) peptic ulcer as well as in non ulcerous dyspeptics affected with gastritis (85%). 96% of active chronic gastritis were infected by HP as compared with 55% of qu...

Eosinophils of the gastrointestinal tract are involved in the host immune response that occurs in the presence of the pathogens in the digestive lumen, taking part in maintaining the homeostasis of the gastrointestinal epithelium. Their involvement in inflammatory processes of chronic gastritis is less known. In our study, we identified the presence of eosinophils in chorion gastric mucosa (lam...

Introduction: Chronic inflammation and duodenal gastric metaplasia (DGM) increase with the presence of Helicobacter pylori (Hp). DGM is considered the earliest change in the development of duodenal ulcer in children with Hp gastritis. Until now, histopathological duodenal changes in children with Hp associated gastritis had not been studied in Mexico, where there is a high gastric Hp prevalence...
