helicobacter pylori-induced cell death is counteracted by nf-κb-mediated transcription of darpp-32.darpp-32 is a frequently amplified and overexpressed gene that promotes several oncogenic functions in gastric cancer. herein, we investigated the relationship between helicobacter pylori infection, proinflammatory nf-κb activation and regulation of darpp-32.201727590997
functional (13)c-urea and glucose hydrogen/methane breath tests reveal significant association of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in individuals with active helicobacter pylori infection.helicobacter pylori infection is considered to alter the bacterial flora in the upper gastrointestinal tract. this study aimed at investigating the presence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (sibo) in patients with active h. pylori infection assessed by functional breath testing.201727586816
binary mixture of satureja hortensis and origanum vulgare subsp. hirtum essential oils: in vivo therapeutic efficiency against helicobacter pylori infection.helicobacter pylori can cause many gastrointestinal and also extra-gastrointestinal disorders and is a major risk factor for gastric carcinoma and malt lymphoma. currently, numerous antibiotic-based therapies are available; however, these therapies have numerous drawbacks, mainly due to increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistant strains. thus, there is an urgent need to develop novel therapeutic agents against h. pylori infections.201727578489
helicobacter pylori and gastric cancer: timing and impact of preventive measures.helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) is a gram negative spiraliform bacterium that is commonly found in the stomach. h. pylori infection is still one of the world's most frequent infections, present in the stomachs of approximately one-half of the world's people. h. pylori infection is etiologically linked to histologic chronic active gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and primary b-cell gastric lymphoma (gastric malt lymphoma) and represents the major risk factor for the development of sporadic non-ca ...201727573783
helicobacter pylori, cancer, and the gastric microbiota.gastric adenocarcinoma is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide and helicobacter pylori infection is the strongest known risk factor for this disease. although the stomach was once thought to be a sterile environment, it is now known to house many bacterial species leading to a complex interplay between h. pylori and other residents of the gastric microbiota. in addition to the role of h. pylori virulence factors, host genetic polymorphisms, and diet, it is now becoming cle ...201727573782
syndromic gastric polyps: at the crossroads of genetic and environmental cancer predisposition.gastric polyps occur in 1-4 % of patients undergoing gastroscopy. although most are sporadic, some gastric polyps are part of an underlying hereditary syndrome. gastric polyps can be seen in each of the well-known gastrointestinal polyposis syndromes, but also in lynch syndrome and in several rare not primarily gastrointestinal syndromes. in addition, gastric adenocarcinoma and proximal polyposis of the stomach (gapps) is a recently described heritable syndrome characterized by isolated gastric ...201727573780
the japanese viewpoint on the histopathology of early gastric cancer.japanese histopathologists have traditionally had greater opportunity to study the histology and clinical course of early gastric cancer because of technological developments including double contrast radiography and endoscopy systems, combined with the higher incidence of gastric cancer in the general population in japan. endoscopic resection is now considered best practice for treatment of early gastric cancers with a negligible risk of lymph node metastasis. histopathologic evaluation plays a ...201727573779
endoluminal diagnosis of early gastric cancer and its precursors: bridging the gap between endoscopy and pathology.although dye-based and image-enhanced endoscopic techniques have revolutionized endoscopic diagnosis, conventional white light endoscopy still plays an important role in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer (egc) during routine endoscopy. chromoendoscopy reveals morphological characteristics of the mucosal lesions by enhancing mucosal contrast, while narrow-band imaging (nbi) facilitates detailed evaluation of the vascular architecture and surface features. positive diagnostic findings of egc o ...201727573777
