METHODS: We evaluated the relationship between babA2 and clinical outcomes (PUD and GC) using a meta-analysis. A literature search was performed using the PubMed and Web of Science databases for relevant case-control studies that met the defined inclusion criteria. The ORs and 95%CIs were calculated to estimate the association between babA2 genotype and clinical outcomes. A fixed-effect or random-effect model was performed depending on the absence or presence of significant heterogeneity. RESULTS: A total of 25 articles with 38 studies met the inclusion criteria and were finally included in this metaanalysis. The results showed that the babA2 genotype was significantly associated with an increased risk of PUD (OR = 2.069, 95%CI: 1.530-2.794, P < 0.001) and especially in the subgroup of duodenal ulcer (OR = 1.588, 95%CI: 1.141-2.209, P = 0.006). Moreover, a significant association between babA2 gene and PUD and duodenal ulcer (OR = 2.739, 95%CI: 1.860-4.032, P < 0.001; OR = 2.239, 95%CI: 1.468-3.415, P < 0.001, respectively) was observed in western countries but not in Asian countries. CONCLUSION: We demonstrated that the presence of babA2 may be associated with increased risks for PUD, especially duodenal ulcer, in western countries.展开更多

METHODS: Twenty cases of human gastric cancer tissue and 20 cases of human gastric ulcer tissue were collected and processed. Protein was extracted from the frozen tissues and stored. The lectins were dissolved in buffer, and the sugar-binding specificities of lectins and the layout of the lectin microarray were summarized. The median of the effective data points for each lectin was globally normalized to the sum of medians of all effective data points for each lectin in one block. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded gastric cancer tissues and their corresponding gastric ulcer tissues were subjected to Ag retrieval. Biotinylated lectin was used as the primary antibody and HRP-streptavidin as the secondary antibody. The glycopatterns of glycoprotein in gastric cancer and gastric ulcer specimens were determined by lectin microarray, and then validated by lectin histochemistry. Data are presented as mean +/- SD for the indicated number of independent experiments. RESULTS: The glycosylation level of gastric cancer was significantly higher than that in ulcer. In gastric cancer, most of the lectin binders showed positive signals and the intensity of the signals was stronger, whereas the opposite was the case for ulcers. Significant differences in the pathological score of the two lectins were apparent between ulcer and gastric cancer tissues using the same lectin. For MPL and VVA, all types of gastric cancer detected showed stronger staining and a higher positive rate in comparison with ulcer, especially in the case of signet ring cell carcinoma and intra-mucosal carcinoma. GalNAc bound to MPL showed a significant increase. A statistically significant association between MPL and gastric cancer was observed. As with MPL, there were significant differences in VVA staining between gastric cancer and ulcer. CONCLUSION: Lectin microarray can differentiate the different glycopatterns in gastric cancer and gastric ulcer, and the lectins MPL and VVA can be used as biomarkers.

However, it can evolve into urgent complications such as a perforation. We report a case of a perforated gastric ulcer that turned out to be a cancer. <strong>Observation:</strong> A 52-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department of Hubert-Koutoukou-Maga National University Medical Center in Cotonou for generalized abdominal pain. He was diagnosed with acute generalized peritonitis with perforated gastric ulcer, establishing a surgical indication. An antral perforation was found and a simple closure was performed. Anatomopathological examination of the surgical piece revealed a gastric adenocarcinoma within the granulation tissue. Following the impact assessment, he underwent a second surgery where a distal gastrectomy was performed with D2 lymphadenectomy followed by gastrojejunostomy. He developed an anastomotic gastrointestinal fistula during the postoperative period but was successfully medically treated. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy with Epirubicin, Cisplatin and 5-Fluorouracil. The patient is still alive, 3 years after the gastrectomy. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> When faced with a perforated gastric ulcer, one must also consider a neoplastic cause. The emergency surgical treatment depends on the general condition of the patient and the pre-existing co-morbidities, the choice being made between a one-stage versus two-stage gastrectomy.展开更多

A 72-yearold man with alcoholic liver cirrhosis underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy(EGD). Esophageal cancer(EC)(Mt, 20 mm, 0-Is) and gastric cancer(GC)(antrum, 15 mm, 0-Ⅱc) were identified. Biopsy specimens revealed moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma(SCC) and differentiated adenocarcinoma, respectively. The GC was resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) [14 mm × 9 mm, type 0-Ⅱc, tub1, p T1a(M), ly0, v0, HM(-), VM(-)]. Two months after ESD, radiation therapy was started for the EC, and an almost complete response was obtained. Nine months after the ESD, a follow-up EGD showed a submucosal tumor-like lesion with ulceration, located immediately under the post-ESD scar, and biopsy specimens showed moderately differentiated SCC. There were no similar lesions suggesting hematogenous or lymphatic metastasis in the stomach.展开更多

There is also a close correlation between the prevalence of H. pylori infection and the incidence of gastric cancer. We present the case of a 38-year-old woman referred by her primary care physician for screening positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT), which showed a nodular strong accumulation point with standardized uptake value 5.6 in the gastric fundus. Gastroscopy was then performed, and a single arched ulcer, 12 mm in size, was found in the gastric fundus. Histopathological examination of the lesion revealed chronic mucosal inflammation with acute inflammation and H. pylori infection. There was an obvious mitotic phase with widespread lymphoma. Formal anti-H. pylori treatment was carried out. One month later, a gastroscopy showed a single arched ulcer, measuring 10 mm in size in the gastric fundus. Histopathological examination revealed chronic mucosal inflammation with acute inflammation and a very small amount of H. pylori infection. The mitotic phase was 4/10 high power field, with some heterotypes and an obvious nucleolus. Follow-up gastroscopy 2 mo later showed the gastric ulcer in stage S2. The mucosal swelling had markedly improved. The patient remained asymptomatic, and a follow-up PET-CT was performed 6 mo later. The nodular strong accumulation point had disappeared. Follow-up gastroscopy showed no evidence of malignant cancer. H. pylori-associated severe inflammation can lead to neoplastic changes in histiocytes. This underscores the importance of eradicating H. pylori , especially in those with mucosal lesions, and ensuring proper follow-up to prevent or even reverse early gastric cancer.展开更多

METHODS: Fasting gastric juice acidity of 165 healthysubjects and 346 patients with esophageal ulcer (n = 21), gastric ulcer (n = 136), duodenal ulcer (n = 100) or gastric cancer (n = 89) were measured and compared. Additionally, gastric specimens were taken from the antrum and body for rapid urease test and histological examination. RESULTS: Multivariate analysis revealed that bile stain of gastric juice, high acute inflammatory score of the corpus, and atrophy of the corpus were independent risk factors for the development of gastric hypoacidity with odds ratios of 3.1 (95% CI: 1.3-7.3), 3.1 (95% CI: 1.2-7.9) and 3.5 (95% CI: 1.3-9.2). Esophageal ulcer and duodenal ulcer patients had a lower pH level (1.9 and 2.1 vs 2.9, both P < 0.05) of gastric juices than healthy subjects. In contrast, gastric ulcer and gastric cancer patients had a higher pH level (3.4 and 6.6 vs 2.9, both P < 0.001) than healthy controls. Hypoacidity existed in 22%, 5%, 29%, 5% and 88% of healthy subjects, esophageal ulcer, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer and gastric cancer patients, respectively. CONCLUSION: Bile reflux, atrophy and dense neutrophil infiltrate of the corpus are three independent factors determining the acidity of gastric juice.展开更多

The aim was, therefore, to identify the current patterns in the aetiology of gastric outlet obstruction in the adult population in Ghana. Methodology: This was a retrospective review of all confirmed cases of gastric outlet obstruction in the last decade, spanning from June 2004 to May 2014, that were managed at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital. Results: A total of 107 patients were managed for gastric outlet obstruction with a male to female ratio of 2.15:1 and most of the patients making 71.3% of cases belonged to the age range of 40 to 60 years. The predominant aetiology for gastric outlet obstruction was found to be gastric cancer (55.140%), followed by peptic ulcer disease (27.103%). Conclusion: The aetiology of gastric outlet obstruction in Ghana has evolved from benign to malignant causes, following current global trends. Gastric cancer is now the most important cause of gastric outlet obstruction in Ghana, followed by peptic ulcer disease which predominates as the commonest benign cause.展开更多

文摘A case in which implantation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma onto a post-dissection gastric ulcer was strongly suspected is presented. A 72-yearold man with alcoholic liver cirrhosis underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy(EGD). Esophageal cancer(EC)(Mt, 20 mm, 0-Is) and gastric cancer(GC)(antrum, 15 mm, 0-Ⅱc) were identified. Biopsy specimens revealed moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma(SCC) and differentiated adenocarcinoma, respectively. The GC was resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) [14 mm × 9 mm, type 0-Ⅱc, tub1, p T1a(M), ly0, v0, HM(-), VM(-)]. Two months after ESD, radiation therapy was started for the EC, and an almost complete response was obtained. Nine months after the ESD, a follow-up EGD showed a submucosal tumor-like lesion with ulceration, located immediately under the post-ESD scar, and biopsy specimens showed moderately differentiated SCC. There were no similar lesions suggesting hematogenous or lymphatic metastasis in the stomach.
文摘Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori ) is a pathogen and the most frequent cause of gastric ulcers. There is also a close correlation between the prevalence of H. pylori infection and the incidence of gastric cancer. We present the case of a 38-year-old woman referred by her primary care physician for screening positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT), which showed a nodular strong accumulation point with standardized uptake value 5.6 in the gastric fundus. Gastroscopy was then performed, and a single arched ulcer, 12 mm in size, was found in the gastric fundus. Histopathological examination of the lesion revealed chronic mucosal inflammation with acute inflammation and H. pylori infection. There was an obvious mitotic phase with widespread lymphoma. Formal anti-H. pylori treatment was carried out. One month later, a gastroscopy showed a single arched ulcer, measuring 10 mm in size in the gastric fundus. Histopathological examination revealed chronic mucosal inflammation with acute inflammation and a very small amount of H. pylori infection. The mitotic phase was 4/10 high power field, with some heterotypes and an obvious nucleolus. Follow-up gastroscopy 2 mo later showed the gastric ulcer in stage S2. The mucosal swelling had markedly improved. The patient remained asymptomatic, and a follow-up PET-CT was performed 6 mo later. The nodular strong accumulation point had disappeared.

The predominant aetiology for gastric outlet obstruction was found to be gastric cancer (55.140%), followed by peptic ulcer disease (27.103%). Conclusion: The aetiology of gastric outlet obstruction in Ghana has evolved from benign to malignant causes, following current global trends. Gastric cancer is now the most important cause of gastric outlet obstruction in Ghana, followed by peptic ulcer disease which predominates as the commonest benign cause.
文摘背景筛选胃溃疡继发癌变的敏感性标志物对胃癌的预防和治疗具有重要意义.先前的研究提示胃蛋白酶原和胃泌素-17(gastrin-17,G-17)可能在早期胃癌的预测方面有一定的参考价值,但尚无确切统一的观点.目的探讨血清胃蛋白酶原Ⅰ(pepsinogenⅠ,PGⅠ)/胃蛋白酶原Ⅱ(pepsinogenⅡ,PGⅡ)联合G-17预测胃溃疡继发癌变的临床价值,为胃癌的早期诊断提供敏感性生化标志物.方法回顾性总结2020-07/2023-04我院初诊为胃溃疡患者215例,根据胃镜下组织病理学诊断分为单纯溃疡组184例和胃癌组31例.入院检测血清PGⅠ、PGⅡ、G-17和肿瘤标志物[包括癌抗原(cancer antigen,CA)724、CA199、癌胚抗原(carcinoembryonic antigen,CEA)和铁蛋白],13C呼气试验测定幽门螺旋杆菌(Helicobacter pylori,H.pylori)感染超基准(delta over baseline,DOB)值.结果两组性别、年龄、DOB值和病程比较无明显差异(P>0.05).与单纯溃疡组相比,胃癌组血清PGⅡ、G-17、CA724、CA199和CEA水平升高,而PGⅠ、铁蛋白和PGI/PGII下降(P<0.05).Spearman检验显示,PGⅠ/PGⅡ与G-17、CA724、CA199和CEA呈负相关,与铁蛋白呈正相关(P<0.05).G-17与CA724、CA199和CEA呈正相关,与铁蛋白呈负相关(P<0.05).受试者工作曲线(receiver operating curve,ROC)显示,PGⅠ/PGⅡ和G-17诊断胃溃疡继发癌变的曲线下面积(area under curve,AUC)分别为0.804和0.742,PGⅠ/PGⅡ和G-17联合诊断的AUC为0.899,显著高于单一指标(P<0.05).结论血清PGⅠ/PGⅡ下降和G-17升高与胃溃疡继发癌变紧密相关,PGⅠ/PGⅡ联合G-17对胃溃疡继发癌变的预测性能较好,PGⅠ/PGⅡ和G-17可作为早期诊断胃癌的敏感性标志物.
