Determination of an Appropriate Endoscopic Monitoring Interval for Patients with Gastric Precancerous Conditions in China

Objective Gastric precancerous conditions such as atrophic gastritis(AG)and intestinal metaplasia(IM)are considered independent risk factors for gastric cancer(GC).The suitable endoscopic monitoring interval is unclear when we attempt to prevent GC development.This study investigated the appropriate monitoring interval for AG/IM patients.Methods Totally,957 AG/IM patients who satisfied the criteria for evaluation between 2010 and 2020 were included in the study.Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the risk factors for progression to high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia(HGIN)/GC in AG/IM patients,and to determine an appropriate endoscopic monitoring scheme.Results During follow-up,28 AG/IM patients developed gastric neoplasia lesions including gastric low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia(LGIN)(0.7%),HGIN(0.9%),and GC(1.3%).Multivariate analysis identified H.pylori infection(P=0.022)and extensive AG/IM lesions(P=0.002)as risk factors for HGIN/GC progression(P=0.025).Conclusion In our study,HGIN/GC was present in 2.2%of AG/IM patients.In AG/IM patients with extensive lesions,a 1–2-year surveillance interval is recommended for early detection of HIGN/GC in AG/IM patients with extensive lesions.

Genetic predisposition to Helicobacter pylori-induced gastric precancerous conditions

Gastric cancer is the most common malignancy of the gastrointestinal tract in East Asian populations and the second most frequent cause of cancer-related mortality in the world. While previous studies have investigated the genetic factors involved in gastric carcinogenesis, there still exist relatively few studies that have investigated the genetic traits associated with the risk of gastric precancerous conditions. In this paper we will review the biology and genetic polymorphisms involved in the genesis of gastric precancerous conditions reported to date and discuss the future prospects of this field of study. The associations of gastric precancerous conditions with polymorphisms in the cytotoxin-associated gene A-related genes (e.g. PTPN11 G/A at intron 3, rs2301756), those in the genes involved in host immunity against Helico-bacter pylori (H. pylori) infection (e.g.TLR4 +3725G/C, rs11536889) or polymorphisms of the genes essential for the development/ differentiation of the gastric epithelial cells (e.g. RUNX3 T/A polymorphism at intron 3, rs760805) have been reported to date. Genetic epide-miological studies of the associations between H. pylori-induced gastric precancerous conditions and other gene polymorphisms in these pathways as well as polymor-phisms of the genes involved in other pathways like oxidative DNA damage repair pathways would provide useful evidence for the individualized prevention of these H. pylori-induced gastric precancerous conditions.

Gastric epithelial histology and precancerous conditions

The most common histological type of gastric cancer(GC)is gastric adenocarcinoma arising from the gastric epithelium.Less common variants include mesenchymal,lymphoproliferative and neuroendocrine neoplasms.The Lauren scheme classifies GC into intestinal type,diffuse type and mixed type.The WHO classification includes papillary,tubular,mucinous,poorly cohesive and mixed GC.Chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG)and intestinal metaplasia are recommended as common precancerous conditions.No definite precancerous condition of diffuse/poorly/undifferentiated type is recommended.Chronic superficial inflammation and hyperplasia of foveolar cells may be the focus.Presently,the management of early GC and precancerous conditions mainly relies on endoscopy including diagnosis,treatment and surveillance.Management of precancerous conditions promotes the early detection and treatment of early GC,and even prevent the occurrence of GC.In the review,precancerous conditions including CAG,metaplasia,foveolar hyperplasia and gastric hyperplastic polyps derived from the gastric epithelium have been concluded,based on the overview of gastric epithelial histological organization and its renewal.

IMS To observe the therapeutic effect of Weixibaonizhuan pills on gastric precancerous lesions.METHODS Thirty patients with gastric precancerous lesions were treated with Weixibaonizhuan pills for 3 months. Of the 36 cases, 13 (361%) were mild atrophic gastritis, 14 (389%) moderate atrophic gastritis and 9 (250%) severe atrophic gastritis; among them 22 (611%) and 27 cases (750%) were accompanied with intestinal metaplasia (IM) and dysplasia (DYS) respectively. Of the 36 patients, 20 were men and 16 women, aged from 30-60 years and those aged 30-59 years accounted for 611%. The course of disease ranged from 3 months to 21 years, and 20 (556%) of them had a course of 5-10 years. The clinical manifestations were fullness of the abdomen (31 cases), abdominalgia (27 cases), anorexia (30 cases), gas eructation (26 cases), acid regurgitation (6 cases) and loose stool (9 cases). When treatment ended, the improvement of patients′ clinical symptoms, atrophy of gastric mucosa, IM and DYS were analysed.RESULTS After 3 months′ treatment with Weixibaonizhuan pills, 7 cases recovered, 11 cases were much improved, 13 cases showed some improvement, and 5 cases were ineffective; the total rate of symptomatic improvement was 861%. Of the 13 cases with mild atrophic gastritis, 11 cases changed into superficial gastritis, and 2 cases had no changes. Of the 14 cases of moderate atrophic gastritis, 4 cases changed into superficial gastritis, 7 cases changed into mild atrophic gastritis, and 3 cases had no changes. Five of 9 cases of severe atrophic gastritis were reduced to moderate atrophic gastritis, and 4 cases had no changes. The total effective rate was 778% in chronic atrophic gastritis. Of the 9 cases with mild IM, IM disappeared in 6 cases and 3 showed no change. Of the 10 cases with moderate IM, it disappeared in 2 cases, 5 cases changed to mild IM, and 3 cases had no change. One of the 4 cases of severe IM changed to moderate IM and 3 had no change. The total effective rate was 636% in IM. Of the 16 cases of mild DYS, 11 cases showed disappearance of DYS and 5 had no change. In 9 cases of moderate DYS, 2 showed disappearance, 5 changed to mild DYS and 2 had no change. Two cases of severe DYS, both showed no change. The total effective rate was 667% in DYS. Before treatment, the Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ degree positive expressions of CEA were present in 13, 12, 9 and 2 cases, respectively, whereas after treatment, the positive expressions were present in 25, 7, 3 and 1, respectively. Before treatment, the Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ degree positive expressions of PCNA were present in 16, 11, 10 and 4 respectively, but after treatment, they were present in 21, 9, 5 and 1 respectively. In short, the positive expressions of CEA and PCNA of gastric mucosa were significantly decreased after treatment (P<001).CONCLUSION Weixibaonizhuan pill has a therapeutic effect in gastric precancerous lesions..

Tumor suppressor gene p16 and Rb expression in gastric cardia precancerouslesions from subjects at a high incidence area in northern China

AIM:To further understand the molecular basis for gastric cardia carcinogenesis and to provide etiological clues. METHODS: Endoscopic mucosa biopsy and histopathological examinations were made on 37 subjects from a high incidence area for both esophageal and gastric cardia carcinomas in northern China. All the biopsy samples were fixed in 850 ml. (-1)L alcohol and embedded in paraffin. Each block contained one piece of tissue and was serially section at 5 microm. Immunohistochemistry (ABC) was carried out on these gastric cardia samples to determine the alterations of p16 and Rb. RESULTS: Based on the histopathlogical examination there were 11 cases of chronic superficial gastritis, 12 cases of chronic atrophic gastritis and 14 cases of dysplasia. The immunostaining demonstrated different levels of unclear immunostaining of p16 and Rb in normal gastric cardia tissue and the tissues with different severity of lesions. With the lesions progressing, the positive immunostaining rates for p16 protein had a decreasing tendency. In contrast, the positive immunostaining rate for Rb protein had an increasing tendency. There was a significant negative relationship between the two parameters. Changes of p16 was CSG 11(100%), CAG 7(58%), DYS 4(29%) and changes of Rb was CSG 2(18%), CAG 8(67%) and DYS 12(86%), (P【0.05). CONCLUSION: The alterations of p16 and Rb protein may play a role in the early stages of gastric cardia carcinogenesis.

Expression of bcl-2 oncogene in gastric precancerous lesions and its correlation with syndromes in traditional Chinese medicine

AIM: To observe the protein and mRNA expression of bcl-2 oncogene in gastric precancerous lesions (GPL) and to analyze its correlation with syndromes in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). METHODS: Sixty-seven patients with GPL confirmed by gastroscopy and pathology were studied,including 39 cases of moderate gastric mucosal dysplasia,19 cases of severe gastric mucosa dysplasia, 9 cases of incomplete colon metaplasia. In syndrome differentiation of TCM,17 cases belonged to the syndrome of qi and yin deficiency of the spleen and stomach complicated by qi stagnation, 21 cases belonged to the syndrome of qi and yin deficiency of the spleen and stomach complicated by stomach heat, 29 cases belonged to the syndrome of qi and yin deficiency of the spleen and stomach complicated by blood stasis. Protein and mRNA expression of bcl-2 oncogene were detected by labeled streptavidin biotin (LSAB) immunohist-ochemistry and in situ hybridization respectively. RESULTS: Abnormal expression of protein and mRNA on bcl-2 oncogene was found in GPL,which increased gradually with the course of lesions. In moderate and severe gastric mucosal dysplasia and incomplete colon metaplasia,there was no difference in the expression of bcl-2 oncogene (P>0.05).In different accompanying syndromes, the expression of protein and mRNA on bcl-2 oncogene increased gradually in the following order: deficiency of both qi and yin of the spleen and stomach accompanying qi stagnation→stomach heat→blood stasis. In GPL, compared with accompanying blood stasis, there was an obvious difference in the expression of bcl-2 oncogene between the syndrome of qi and yin deficiency of the spleen and stomach and accompanying stomach heat, so did accompanying qi stagnation (the level of protein: X2=8.45, P<0.05;the level of mRNA: X2=7.35, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Apoptosis-associated bcl-2 oncogene is abnormally expressed in GPL,which correlates with different accompanying syndromes in TCM.

Possibility of non-invasive diagnosis of gastric mucosal precancerous changes

AIM: To assess the possibility of non-invasive screening of atrophic chronic gastritis for preventing further development of gastric cancer.METHODS: One hundred and seventy-eight consecutive Helicobacter pylori ( H pylori)-positive dyspeptic patients after detection of serum levels of pepsinogen-1 (PG-1) and gastrin-17 (G-17) by enzyme immunoassay were proposed for endoscopy and histology. The serologic and morphologic results were compared with estimating the sensitivity, specificity and prognostic values of the tests.RESULTS: There was statistically significant reverse dependence between the grade of stomach mucosal antral or corpus atrophy and the proper decreasing of serum G17 or PG1 levels. The serologic method was quite sensitive in the diagnosis of non-atrophic and severe antral and corpus gastritis. Also, it was characterized by the high positive and negative prognostic values.CONCLUSION: Detection of serum G-17 and PG1 levels can be offered as the screening tool for atrophic gastritis. The positive serologic results require further chromoendoscopy with mucosal biopsy, for revealing probable progressing of atrophic process with development of intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia or gastric cancer.

Effect of garlic on micronucleus frequency of peripheral blood lymphocytes in MNNG-induced gastric carcinoma and precancerous lesion in rats

IM To investigate the effects of garlic on micronuclei frequency (MNF) of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) in gastric carcinoma (GC) and precancerous lesion (PL) in Wistar rats induced by NmethylN′nitroNnitrosoguanidine (MNNG). METHODS Gastric carcinoma and precancerous lesions were induced by MNNG 125mg/5ml per day for 10 months. 10% garlic 10ml per day were given to the experimental group, and running water to control group. MNF of PBL in the control CG (n=16), MNNG (n=30), prevention (n=30) and treatment groups (n=20) were detected at 10 and 16 months by the technic of micronucleus cell culture. RESULTS MNF of MNNG group at the 10th and 16th month was similar; that of MNNG, GC and PL was remarkably higher than the control group (P<001), respectively; and that of PL was lower than GC (P<001). MNF of prevention and treatment groups was decreased, with significant difference from MNNG group (P<001). MNF of the prevention group at the 16th month was lower than that at the 10th month (P<001), the difference between the prevention and treatment groups was not significant. CONCLUSION MNNG was a continuous mutagenicity and carcinogenicity, and garlic has a remarkable antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic effect. The micronucleus frequency of PBL may be a new marker of earlystage gastric carcinogenesis.

Effects of San Qi on Gastric Secretion and Protective Factors of Gastric Mucosa in the Rat with Precancerous Lesion of Stomach

In the model rat with precancerous lesion of stomach induced by the combined method of insertion of a spring into the pylorus and high salt hot paste,effects of San Qi (三七 Radix Notoginseng) on gastric secretion and protective factors of stomach were investigated.The results indicated that gastric secretion,gastric mucosal blood flow (GMBF) and aminohexose content lowered significantly,and malondialdehyde (MDA) increased significantly (P<0.01) in the model group as compared with the normal group;after treatment with San Qi Powder for 12 weeks,both gastric secresion and GMBF increased,and MDA content decreased as compared with the negative control group (P<0.01),with no significant increase of aminohexose content.It is suggested that San Qi (三七 Radix Notoginseng) may improve gastric secretion,and that increase of GMBF and antagonism against the lesion of oxygen free radicals are possibly one of its mechanisms.
