The goal of this short review is to summarize recent data on gastrointestinal changes with aging, focusing on gastrointestinal motility disorders, and mucosal variations. First of all, this review focused on gastrointestinal motility disorders with aging, even though an increased prevalence of several gastrointestinal motor disorders (i.e., dysphagia, dyspepsia, anorexia, and constipation) occu...

background: chronic inflammation and dys-regulation of the immune system mechanisms are now well established as primary triggers of gastric cancer and peptic ulcer disease. galectin-9 (gal-9) is a member of the galectin family and known as an inducer of cell aggregation, adhesion and apoptosis. gal-9 interaction with its main ligand t-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain protein-3 (tim-3) leads...

Helicobacter pylori is probably the commonest bacterial infection worldwide and is now accepted as the cause of gastritis, peptic ulcer, gastric carcinoma, and gastric lymphoma. In the last few years, besides the local gasteroduodenal tissue damage, an association between H.pylori and various extra-intestinal pathologies had been described. Recent studies have suggested that H.pylori infection ...

In the past 30 years, medicine has witnessed an unprecedented evolution in acid-peptic disorder management, fueled by major advances in our understanding of the physiology of acid secretion and the gastric mucosal barrier. The other pivotal development in understanding these disorders has been the recognition of Helicobacter pylori's role in the pathophysiology of peptic ulcer disease,chronic g...

INTRODUCTION Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) might reduce risks of esophageal and gastric cancer, but previous studies are limited and provide somewhat conflicting results. METHODS We tested these associations in a prospective, nested case-control study based on the General Practitioners Research Database, including over 2 million persons in the United Kingdom between 1994 and 20...

AIMS To investigate the immunohistochemical expression and the serum concentrations of pepsinogen I and II in different histological types of gastric cancer as compared with other gastric disorders. METHODS Formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded tissue specimens of 38 gastric cancers obtained from surgical cases were used for the immunohistochemical studies performed with the avidin-biotin com...

conclusions in the present study, the frequency of clarithromycin resistance was lower than the other studies conducted in iran. resistance frequency in samples isolated from gastric ulcer was higher than other gastric disorders. women and patients aged more than 60 years old showed the most resistance frequency in this study. all resistant strains had the a2143g genotype. results of the 89 h. ...
