History of chronic gastritis:How our perceptions have changed

Currently,the diagnostic strategy for chronic gastritis(CG)is aimed not just at fixing the presence of gastric mucosal inflammation,but also at gastric cancer(GC)risk stratification in a particular patient.Modern classification approach with the definition of the stage of gastritis determines the need,activities and frequency of dynamic monitoring of a patient.However,this attitude to the patient suffering from CG was far from always.The present publication is a literature review describing the key milestones in the history of CG research,from the description of the first observations of inflammation of the gastric mucosa,assessment of gastritis as a predominantly functional disease,to the advent of endoscopy of the upper digestive tract and diagnostic gastric biopsy,assessment of the role of Helicobacter pylori infection in progression of inflammatory changes to atrophy,intestinal metaplasia,dysplasia and GC.

Clinical manifestation,lifestyle,and treatment patterns of chronic erosive gastritis:A multicenter real-world study in China

BACKGROUND Although chronic erosive gastritis(CEG)is common,its clinical characteristics have not been fully elucidated.The lack of consensus regarding its treatment has resulted in varied treatment regimens.AIM To explore the clinical characteristics,treatment patterns,and short-term outcomes in CEG patients in China.METHODS We recruited patients with chronic non-atrophic or mild-to-moderate atrophic gastritis with erosion based on endoscopy and pathology.Patients and treating physicians completed a questionnaire regarding history,endoscopic findings,and treatment plans as well as a follow-up questionnaire to investigate changes in symptoms after 4 wk of treatment.RESULTS Three thousand five hundred sixty-three patients from 42 centers across 24 cities in China were included.Epigastric pain(68.0%),abdominal distension(62.6%),and postprandial fullness(47.5%)were the most common presenting symptoms.Gastritis was classified as chronic non-atrophic in 69.9%of patients.Among those with erosive lesions,72.1%of patients had lesions in the antrum,51.0%had multiple lesions,and 67.3%had superficial flat lesions.In patients with epigastric pain,the combination of a mucosal protective agent(MPA)and proton pump inhibitor was more effective.For those with postprandial fullness,acid regurgitation,early satiety,or nausea,a MPA appeared more promising.CONCLUSION CEG is a multifactorial disease which is common in Asian patients and has non-specific symptoms.Gastroscopy may play a major role in its detection and diagnosis.Treatment should be individualized based on symptom profile.

Urinary metabolic profiles during Helicobacter pylori eradication in chronic gastritis

BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)infection is a major risk factor for chronic gastritis,affecting approximately half of the global population.H.pylori eradication is a popular treatment method for H.pylori-positive chronic gastritis,but its mecha-nism remains unclear.Urinary metabolomics has been used to elucidate the mechanisms of gastric disease treatment.However,no clinical study has been conducted on urinary metabolomics of chronic gastritis.AIM To elucidate the urinary metabolic profiles during H.pylori eradication in patients with chronic gastritis.METHODS We applied LC–MS-based metabolomics and network pharmacology to in-vestigate the relationships between urinary metabolites and H.pylori-positive chronic gastritis via a clinical follow-up study.RESULTS Our study revealed the different urinary metabolic profiles of H.pylori-positive chronic gastritis before and after H.pylori eradication.The metabolites regulated by H.pylori eradication therapy include cis-aconitic acid,isocitric acid,citric acid,L-tyrosine,L-phenylalanine,L-tryptophan,and hippuric acid,which were involved in four metabolic pathways:(1)Phenylalanine metabolism;(2)phenylalanine,tyrosine,and tryptophan biosynthesis;(3)citrate cycle;and(4)glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism.Integrated metabolomics and network pharmacology revealed that MPO,COMT,TPO,TH,EPX,CMA1,DDC,TPH1,and LPO were the key proteins involved in the biological progress of H.pylori eradication in chronic gastritis.CONCLUSION Our research provides a new perspective for exploring the significance of urinary metabolites in evaluating the treatment and prognosis of H.pylori-positive chronic gastritis patients.

Gastric cancer incidence based on endoscopic Kyoto classification of gastritis

BACKGROUND Gastric cancer(GC)incidence based on the endoscopic Kyoto classification of gastritis has not been systematically investigated using time-to-event analysis.AIM To examine GC incidence in an endoscopic surveillance cohort.METHODS This study was retrospectively conducted at the Toyoshima Endoscopy Clinic.Patients who underwent two or more esophagogastroduodenoscopies were enrolled.GC incidence was based on Kyoto classification scores,such as atrophy,intestinal metaplasia(IM),enlarged folds(EFs),nodularity,diffuse redness(DR),and total Kyoto scores.Hazard ratios(HRs)adjusted for age and sex were calculated using a Cox hazard model.RESULTS A total of 6718 patients were enrolled(median age 54.0 years;men 44.2%).During the follow-up period(max 5.02 years;median 2.56 years),GC developed in 34 patients.The average frequency of GCs per year was 0.19%.Kyoto atrophy scores 1[HR with score 0 as reference:3.66,95%confidence interval(CI):1.06 to 12.61],2(11.60,3.82-35.27),IM score 2(9.92,4.37-22.54),EF score 1(4.03,1.63-9.96),DR scores 1(6.22,2.65-14.56),and 2(10.01,3.73-26.86)were associated with GC incidence,whereas nodularity scores were not.The total Kyoto scores of 4(HR with total Kyoto scores 0-1 as reference:6.23,95%CI:1.93 to 20.13,P=0.002)and 5-8(16.45,6.29-43.03,P<0.001)were more likely to develop GC,whereas the total Kyoto scores 2-3 were not.The HR of the total Kyoto score for developing GC per 1 rank was 1.75(95%CI:1.46 to 2.09,P<0.001).CONCLUSION A high total Kyoto score(≥4)was associated with GC incidence.The endoscopy-based diagnosis of gastritis can stratify GC risk.

Mucosal patterns change after Helicobacter pylori eradication:Evaluation using blue laser imaging in patients with atrophic gastritis

BACKGROUND Mucosal patterns(MPs)observed on blue laser imaging in patients with atrophic gastritis can be classified as spotty,cracked,and mottled.Furthermore,we hypothesized that the spotty pattern may change to the cracked pattern after Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)eradication.AIM To further substantiate and comprehensively investigate MP changes after H.pylori eradication in a larger number of patients.METHODS We included 768 patients who were diagnosed with atrophic gastritis with evaluable MP using upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at the Nishikawa Gastrointestinal Clinic,Japan.Among them,325 patients were H.pylori-positive,and of them,101 patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy before and after H.pylori eradication were evaluated for post-eradication MP changes.The patients’MPs were interpreted by three experienced endoscopists who were blinded to their clinical features.RESULTS Among 76 patients with the spotty pattern before or after H.pylori eradication,the pattern disappeared or decreased in 67 patients[88.2%,95%confidence interval(CI):79.0%-93.6%),appeared or increased in 8 patients(10.5%,95%CI:5.4%-19.4%),and showed no change in 1 patient(1.3%,95%CI:0.2%-7.1%).In 90 patients with the cracked pattern before or after H.pylori eradication,the pattern disappeared or decreased in 7 patients(7.8%,95%CI:3.8%-15.2%),appeared or increased in 79 patients(87.8%,95%CI:79.4%-93.0%),and showed no change in 4 patients(4.4%,95%CI:1.7%-10.9%).In 70 patients with the mottled pattern before or after H.pylori eradication,the pattern disappeared or decreased in 28 patients(40.0%,95%CI:29.3%-51.7%),appeared or increased in 35 patients(50.0%,95%CI:38.6%-61.4%),and showed no change in 7 patients(10.0%,95%CI:4.9%-19.2%).CONCLUSION After H.pylori eradication,MPs changed from spotty to cracked in most patients,which may help endoscopists easily and precisely evaluate H.pylori-related gastritis status.

Paradoxical association between dyspepsia and autoimmune chronic atrophic gastritis:Insights into mechanisms,pathophysiology,and treatment options

BACKGROUND Autoimmune gastritis(AIG)is a progressive,chronic,immune-mediated inflammatory disease characterized by the destruction of gastric parietal cells leading to hypo/anacidity and loss of intrinsic factor.Gastrointestinal symptoms such as dyspepsia and early satiety are very common,being second in terms of frequency only to anemia,which is the most typical feature of AIG.AIM To address both well-established and more innovative information and knowledge about this challenging disorder.METHODS An extensive bibliographical search was performed in PubMed to identify guidelines and primary literature(retrospective and prospective studies,systematic reviews,case series)published in the last 10 years.RESULTS A total of 125 records were reviewed and 80 were defined as fulfilling the criteria.CONCLUSION AIG can cause a range of clinical manifestations,including dyspepsia.The pathophysiology of dyspepsia in AIG is complex and involves changes in acid secretion,gastric motility,hormone signaling,and gut microbiota,among other factors.Managing dyspeptic symptoms of AIG is challenging and there are no specific therapies targeting dyspepsia in AIG.While proton pump inhibitors are commonly used to treat dyspepsia and gastroesophageal reflux disease,they may not be appropriate for AIG.Prokinetic agents,antidepressant drugs,and non-pharmacological treatments may be of help,even if not adequately evidence-based supported.A multidisciplinary approach for the management of dyspepsia in AIG is recommended,and further research is needed to develop and validate more effective therapies for dyspepsia.

Incidence and prevalence of gastric neuroendocrine tumors in patients with chronic atrophic autoimmune gastritis

BACKGROUND The incidence of type I gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms(gNENs)has increased significantly over the past 50 years.Although autoimmune gastritis(AIG)increases the likelihood of developing gNENs,the exact incidence and prevalence of this association remain unclear.AIM To evaluate the incidence and prevalence of type I gNENs in a cohort of patients with a histological diagnosis of AIG.METHODS Patients with a histological diagnosis of AIG were enrolled between October 2020 and May 2022.Circulating levels of CgA and gastrin were assessed at enrollment.Included patients underwent regular endoscopic follow-up to detect gastric neoplastic lesions,enterochromaffin-like(ECL)cell hyperplasia,and the development of gNEN.RESULTS We included 176 patients[142 women(80.7%),median age 64 years,interquartile range(IQR)53–71 years]diagnosed with AIG between January 1990 and June 2022.At enrollment.One hundred and sixteen patients(65.9%)had ECL hyperplasia,of whom,29.5%had simple/linear,30.7%had micronodular,and 5.7%had macronodular type.The median follow-up time was 5(3–7.5)years.After 1032 person-years,33 patients developed a total of 50 type I gNENs,with an incidence rate of 0.057 person-years,corresponding to an annual cumulative incidence of 5.7%.Circulating CgA levels did not significantly differ between AIG patients who developed gNENs and those who did not.Conversely,gastrin levels were significantly higher in AIG patients who developed gNENs[median 992 pg/mL IQR=449–1500 vs 688 pg/mL IQR=423–1200,P=0.03].Calculated gastrin sensitivity and specificity were 90.9%and 1.4%,respectively,with an overall diagnostic accuracy of 30%and a calculated area under the gastrin receiver operating characteristic curve(AUROC or AUC)of 0.53.CONCLUSION Type I gNENs are a significant complication in AIG.Gastrin’s low diagnostic accuracy prevents it from serving as a marker for early diagnosis.Effective strategies for early detection and treatment are needed.

Research status and hotspots of autoimmune gastritis:A bibliometric analysis

BACKGROUND As an emerging potential risk factor for gastric cancer,autoimmune gastritis(AIG)has garnered increasing attention from researchers.AIM To analyze the research overview and popular topics in the field of AIG using bibliometrics.METHODS Relevant publications on AIG in the Web of Science Core Collection were collated,and data visualization and analysis of the number of publications,countries,institutions,journals,authors,keywords,and citations were performed using software such as VOSviewer,CiteSpace,and Scimago Graphic.RESULTS In total,316 relevant articles were included in the analysis.From 2015 to 2022,the number of publications increased annually.The countries,institutions,authors,and journals with the highest number of publications in this field were Italy,Monash University,Toh BH,and Internal Medicine.The main keywords used in this field of research were pathogenesis,Helicobacter pylori,autoantibody,parietal cell antibody,atrophic gastritis,classification,diagnosis,autoimmune disease,risk,cancer,gastric cancer,vitamin B12 deficiency,and pernicious anemia.The following directions may be popular for future research:(1)The role of Helicobacter pylori in the pathogenesis of AIG;(2)diagnostic criteria for AIG and reference values for serum antibodies;(3)comorbidity mechanisms between AIG and other autoimmune diseases;(4)specific risks of AIG complicating gastric and other cancers;and(5)the role of vitamin B12 supplementation in patients with early-stage AIG.CONCLUSION This bibliometric analysis reported on popular topics and emerging trends in AIG,with diagnosis and prognosis being research hotspots in this field.

Epidemiological and Histopathological Aspects of Chronic Gastritis at the Departmental University Teaching Hospital of Borgou Alibori (CHUD-BA) from 2011 to 2021

Background: Gastritis is better evaluated nowadays since the advent of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Despite the availability of this workup in Benin Republic, there is a scarcity of data on chronic gastritis. Objective: This work aimed to study the epidemiological and histopathological aspects of chronic gastritis in the Departmental University Teaching Hospital of Borgou Alibori (CHUD-B/A) from 2011 to 2021. Method: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study with descriptive and analytical purposes, carried out from February 23, 2022 to May 23, 2022, among patients who had undergone gastric biopsy and/or gastrectomy from January 2011 to January 2022 (10 year), and whose specimens were sent into the histopathology section of the CHUD-B/A. Non-probability sampling was performed with exhaustive recruitment. A survey form has been used to collect data from patients’ medical records. Pearson’s chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests have been used as appropriate to determine correlations between variables. Result: A total of 310 cases of chronic gastritis were diagnosed in the histopathology section of the CHUD-B/A from 2011 to 2021. This represented a chronic gastritis frequency of 91.45% for all gastric lesions diagnosed throughout the study period. Erythematous gastropathy was the most frequent (70.35%). Helicobacter pylori was present in 36.77% and dysplasia was observed in 12.26% of cases. Erythematous gastropathy was a predictive factor for the absence of gastric dysplasia in histopathology check up (p-value = 0.042). In contrast, intestinal metaplasia was predictive of the presence of gastric dysplasia in histopathology check up (p-value < 0.001). Conclusion: Chronic gastritis is very common in our setting. Systematic biopsy performance in front of an evocative clinical situation followed by histopathological examination may be encouraged.

Diffuse arterial atherosclerosis presenting with acute ischemic gastritis: A case report

BACKGROUND Ischemic gastritis is a clinically rare disease with high mortality that infrequently reported in the medical literature and under-recognized clinically and histopatho-logically.Early diagnosis and treatment can only be achieved through upper gastrointestinal endoscopy after symptoms appear.CASE SUMMARY A 68-year-old woman with a history of intracranial aneurysm developed dizziness,chest tightness and unconsciousness for 2 d.Computed tomography angiography showed diffuse coronary atherosclerosis,moderate to severe stenosis in the proximal end of the left anterior descending branch,multiple calcified plaques in the proximal end of the circumflex branch and right coronary artery,and mild to moderate stenosis.The patient also developed diffuse atherosclerosis in the splenic and mesenteric arteries,with mild lumen stenosis and athero-sclerosis in the abdominal aorta and its branches.Endoscopy showed submucosal congestion and damage of the entire gastric mucosa,of which the fundus and body of the stomach were most seriously affected.The mucosa was swollen,with a deep purple color,surface erosion and dark red oozing blood.Pathological examination showed bleeding and necrosis of the gastric mucosa,with residual contours of the gastric glands,consistent with ischemic gastritis.CONCLUSION Ischemic gastritis is a rare disease that may be difficult to diagnose as its symptoms may be similar to those of other gastrointestinal diseases.Diagnosis is usually based on endoscopic and pathological examinations,which show insufficient blood supply to the gastric mucosa leading to mucosal damage and necrosis.

Cancer risk stratification system and classification of gastritis:Perspectives

Kyoto global consensus reports that the current ICD-10 classification for gastritis is obsolete.The Kyoto classification of gastritis states that severe mucosal atrophy has a high risk of gastric cancer,while mild to moderate atrophy has a low risk.The updated Kimura-Takemoto classification of atrophic gastritis considers five histological types of multifocal corpus atrophic gastritis according to stages C2 to O3.This method of morphological diagnosis of atrophic gastritis increases sensitivity by 2.4 times for severe atrophy compared to the updated Sydney system.This advantage should be considered when stratifying the high risk of gastric cancer.The updated Kimura-Takemoto classification of atrophic gastritis should be used as a reference standard(gold standard)in studies of morphofunctional relationships to identify serological markers of atrophic gastritis with evidence-based effectiveness.The use of artificial intelligence in the serological screening of atrophic gastritis makes it possible to screen a large number of the population.During serological screening of atrophic gastritis and risk stratification of gastric cancer,it is advisable to use the Kyoto classification of gastritis with updated Kimura-Takemoto classification of atrophic gastritis.

Prevalence and Factors Associated with Intestinal Metaplasia in Chronic Helicobacter pylori Gastritis in a Country with High Endemicity: Ivory Coast Case

Context/Objective: Few studies have been carried out in a country with high endemicity for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in Sub-Saharan Africa looking for the association of intestinal metaplasia (IM) with chronic gastritis. We hypothesize that IM is correlated with the intensity of H. pylori infection in a country with high endemicity, Ivory Coast. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of intestinal metaplasia in chronic H. pylori gastritis in Ivory Coast. Methods: This was a prospective, cross-sectional, multicenter study, carried out over a period of 5 months, in the reference hospital centers of Abidjan, specialized in Gastroenterology. All patients who had undergone Gastroscopy with biopsies according to the criteria of the Sydney System for the anatomopathological study, those with chronic gastritis and/or H. pylori intestinal metaplasia on histology and in whom all the parameters of the Sydney system classification had been well informed. The quantitative variables were expressed by their means accompanied by their standard deviations and the qualitative variables by their numbers and percentages. Chi-square and Fischer tests were used to look for associations between variables. The significance level was set at 5%. Results: 152 patients were retained. The mean age was 44.9 ± 12.9 years. The prevalence of intestinal metaplasia was 11.8%. In univariate analysis, no significant association was found between clinical and pathological sociodemographic factors (age, sex, ethnicity, educational level, profession) and intestinal metaplasia in chronic Helicobacter pylori gastric cases. In multivariate analysis we found that prolonged use of Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) and a history of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) were significantly associated with the absence of IM. Conclusion: Chronic H. pylori gastritis is the main risk factor for intestinal metaplasia. Prolonged use of PPIs and a history of GERD were significantly identified as factors that would protect against intestinal metaplasia.

Efficacy and safety of Huangqi Jianzhong decoction in the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis:A meta-analysis

BACKGROUND Chronic atrophic gastritis is a persistent disorder of the digestive system where the gastric mucosa epithelium and glands undergo atrophy,leading to a decrease in their number and thinning of the gastric mucosa.It is worth noting that the prevalence of chronic atrophic gastritis is higher in China compared to the global average,and it is also considered a precancerous condition for gastric cancer.AIM To evaluate the efficacy of Huangqi Jianzhong decoction in treating chronic atrophic gastritis.Chronic atrophic gastritis is a persistent illness characterized by the progressive disappearance of healthy gastric glands due to repeated injury.Huangqi Jianzhong decoctions are widely used in China to treat chronic atrophic gastritis.However,there is limited scientific evidence regarding their efficacy in treating this illness.METHODS The present meta-analysis adhered to the PRISMA guidelines and used the Cochrane Collaboration methodology.We performed a comprehensive search for clinical trials investigating the use of Huangqi Jianzhong decoction in treating chronic atrophic gastritis published until January 2023.The risk of bias and the quality of the included studies were evaluated using the Cochrane Handbook guidelines.Finally,a meta-analysis was conducted using the RevMan 5.4 softRESULTS This study included a total of 13 articles,comprising 1269 samples.The meta-analysis was conducted on these 13 articles,yielding the following results:I2=0%,P=0.60,[RR=1.24,95%CI:1.18 to 1.30,P<0.00001].The forest plot analysis of the Helicobacter pylori clearance rate revealed I2=0%,P=0.36,[RR=1.20,95%CI:1.05 to 1.38,P=0.009].The forest plot of PG-I level showed I2=99%,P<0.00001,[MD=4.99,95%CI:-1.59 to 11.58,P=0.14].The forest plot of stomach pain demonstrated I2=54%,P=0.04,[MD=-0.63,95%CI:-0.68 to-0.58,P<0.00001].The forest plot of reflux indicated I2=82%,P=0.0009,[MD=-0.48,95%CI:-0.63 to-0.33,P<0.00001].The forest plot of recurrence rate exhibited I2=0%,P=0.92,[RR=0.15,95%CI:0.04 to 0.66,P=0.01].The forest plot of adverse reactions showed no heterogeneity in outcome data,[RR=1.07,95%CI:0.53 to 2.17,P=0.86].CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that Huangqi Jianzhong decoction improved various factors in adults with chronic atrophic gastritis.These factors included the total effective rate,Helicobacter pylori clearance rate,symptoms such as stomachache and acid reflux alleviation,and recurrence rates.

Nivolumab-induced tumour-like gastritis:A case report

BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors are one of the modern treatment methods for advanced malignancies.However,this group of medications is also associated with various immune-related adverse events,such as colitis or pneumonitis.Immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced gastritis is a less common adverse event.CASE SUMMARY We describe a 64-year-old woman presenting with diarrhea,nausea,and discomfort in the upper abdominal region.The patient had a history of metastatic lung cancer,which was treated with nivolumab.During the first endoscopy,an infiltrating gastric tumour was suspected.Later,based on endoscopic,histological and radiological findings,nivolumab-induced gastritis was diagnosed.The patient was successfully treated with three courses of omeprazole.CONCLUSION As a consequence of the increased use of immune checkpoint inhibitors,a growing number of reported immune-related adverse events could be expected.The diagnosis of immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced gastritis should be considered when assessing a patient treated with nivolumab with upper gastrointestinal distress.

Study of the Effect of Bacterial Resistance Monitoring in Clinical Microbiology Testing

Objective:To observe and analyze the effect of bacterial resistance monitoring in clinical microbiology testing.Methods:600 microbial specimens collected in our hospital in the past year(April 2021 to April 2022)were used as the test subjects of this study.The specimens were divided into Group A(control group)and Group B(research group),with 300 cases in each group.Group A consisted of blood culture specimens,while Group B consisted of sputum specimens.After the tests were completed,the rates of unfavorable and favorable results,bacterial species distribution,and bacterial drug resistance of the specimens in both groups were compared.Results:Among group A specimens,29 cases were positive(9.67%)and 271 cases were negative(90.33%);among group B specimens,99 cases were positive(33.00%)and 201 cases were negative(66.00%);the difference between the two groups of data was statistically significant(P<0.05).As for the distribution of the types of bacteria,there were 472 cases of Gram-negative bacteria and 128 cases of Gram-positive bacteria.Conclusion:Bacterial resistance monitoring is helpful in clinical microbiology testing.Through proper monitoring,bacterial resistance can be well understood.In this way,patients get to receive appropriate treatment measures and suitable antibacterial prescriptions,thereby improving the patient outcome.
