Introduction Our study aimed to assess the impact of managed complications of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) on the patients' assessment of the results as measured by Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I). Materials and methods This was a retrospective study, supplemented with a telephone interview, comparing patients who had complications of TVT procedures with those where no com...

background: currently, non-invasive methods for screening atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer are lacking. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of serological parameters including serum pepsinogen i (pgi), pepsinogen ii (pgii) and pepsinogen i: ii ratio for the screening atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer.   methods : the study population consisted of 132 dyspeptic patients ...

Education, a long neglected variable affecting psychological test score, is in search of reemphasis. Some evidence for this has accumulated on the psychological tests constructed and standardized here at the department of Psychiatry, P.G.I., Chandigarh. Tentative norms prepared education wise on WAIS-Verbal section, PGI-Memory Scale, Proverb and Similarity Tests, Psychoticism Questionnaire, and...

Two pepsinogens (pepsinogens 1 and 2) were purified from the esophageal mucosa of the bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana), and their molecular weights were determined to be 40,100 and 39,200, respectively, by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The NH2-terminal 70-residue sequences of both pepsinogens are the same, including the 36-residue activation segment. Furthermore, a cDNA ...

We were quite nostalgic and wished to place on record that we share almost all of the experiences which the authors have mentioned. There is very little doubt that the academic environment at PGIMER is one of the best in the world. Here, we would like to share our thoughts on the nonacademic facets of PGI training so that future doctors coming out of this great institution (as well as other top...

The relation between Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection and fasting gastrin and pepsinogen-I and -II concentrations was evaluated in 278 volunteers without symptoms and the results were compared with the values obtained in 35 patients with duodenal ulcers. H pylori infection was determined with the 13C-urea breath test in subjects without symptoms and with endoscopy, biopsy (histology and...

Objective: This study aims to investigate the clinical significance of gastrin 17 and pepsinogen in gastric cancer and precancerous lesion screening. Methods: We used ELISA to measure the levels of gastrin 17 and pepsinogen in serum from the medical examination population, which compared to endoscopic results. Then statistical analysis was performed. Results: The classical method by testing pep...

AIM To study Pepsinogen I (PG I) concentration in atrophic chronic gastritis (ACG) and non-atrophic chronic gastritis (NACG) patients with or without H. pylori infection compared to gastroscopy and biopsy as the gold standard. METHODS The study subjects consisted of 70 organic dyspepsia patients who underwent esofago gastroduodenoscopy (EGD) at the Gastroenterology Outpatient Clinic Departmen...

1. Alkali (pH 7.6)-denatured pepsins from swine, cattle, and guinea pigs precipitate in swine pepsin antiserum. Similarly treated pepsins from the rabbit, chicken, and shark do not. 2. Pepsin antisera react with both pepsin and pepsinogen, but do not react with the serum proteins from the homologous species. 3. Pepsinogen antisera react with pepsinogen, but not with twice crystallized pepsin, n...
