위암의 발병률이 감소하고 있기는 하지만 전 세계적으로 여전히 연 100만 명 이상이 새롭게 위암으로 진단되고 있으며, 앞으로 향후 몇십 년 동안은 인구의 고령화로 인하여 위암에 대한 사회적 경제적 부담이 줄어들지 않을 것으로 추측된다. 최근 메타분석에서 Helicobacter pylori 제균 치료가 위암발병을 33~47% 감소시킨다고 보고하였으나, 중국에서 시행된 무작위 대조 연구에서는 제균 치료가 위암의 전구 병변 감소에 도움이 되지 않았다고 보고하고 있어 위축성 위염이나 장상피화생을 동반한 경우 제균 치료가 위암 예방에 큰 도움이 되지 않을 수 있음을 제시하고 있다. 그렇다면 위축성 위염이 있는 경우가 많은 고령 환자에서는 과연 헬리코박터 제균 치료가 도움이 될 것인가? 저자들은 빅데이터 분석을 통해 헬리코박터 제균 치료가 위암 발병에 미치는 영향을 성별과 연령에 따라 분석하였다. 2003년부터 2012년까지 'Hospital Authority'에 등록된 clarithromycin 포함 3제 요법을 받은 환자들에서의 위암 발생률과 2003년부터 2013년까지 'Hong Kong Cancer Registry'에 등록된 성별과 연령이 일치된 대조군에서의 위암기대 발생률(expected incidence)을 비교하였다. 3제 요법을 받은 73,237명의 환자들을 확인하였을 때, 평균 7.6년의 추적기간 중 200명(0.27%)에서 위암이 발생하였다. 연령에 따라 40세 미만, 40~59세, 60세 이상의 그룹으로 나누어 각각 위암발생률을 대조군과 비교한 결과 60세 이상 환자군에서만 standardized incidence ratio (SIR)가 0.82로 감소하였다. 치료 성공여부에 따라 위암 발생률을 분석하였을 때, 제균 치료에 성공한 60세 이상 군에서 SIR이 0.78로 감소하였으나 재 치료를 받은 40~59세 군에서는 SIR이 2.43으로 증가하였다. 제균 치료시점이 위암 발생률에 미치는 영향으로는 제균 치료 후 10년 미만에서의 위암 발생률에는 큰 영향이 없었으나 10년 이상 경과한 경우 60세 이상 군과 40~59세 군에서의 위암 발병률이 대조군의 위암 예측 발병률보다 낮았다.

Plantain has been used for antidiarrhea, antihemorrhage and the remedy of indigestion. Plantain was extracted with ethanol and fractionated systemically with n-hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate (EtOAC) and n-butanol. Antioxidant index (AI was expressed as induction period of oil containing various fractions/induction period of oil of 600 ppm) of EtOAC fraction was the highest among fractions in vitro. The protective effects of the EtOAC fraction of plantain (PE) administered 1 mL orally or intraduodenally on experimentally induced gastritis, gastric ulcer and gastric secretion were evaluated in rats. Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 250∼300 g were divided into 4 groups; negative control group (CON), PE 200 mg/kg treated group (PEL), PE 400 mg/kg treated group (PEH) and positive control group (cimetidine 100 mg/kg-CMT or omeprazol 100 mg/kg treated group-OMT), respectively, PE significantly suppressed HCl-ethanol induced gastric lesions and indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers (administered subcutaneouly) in rats. Specially PE 400 mg/kg showed significantly inhibitory effect, which was more potent than that of 100 mg/kg of commercial drug, cimetidine, and elevated an inhibitory effect to be close to the level in inhibitory ratio of omeprazol administered group in Shay's ucler. On gastric secretion in pylorus ligated rat, PE 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg decreased the gastric volume and acid output, but did not show an apparent effect on pepsin activity. In addition, PE 400 mg/kg depressed gastric ulcers induced by water immersion stress and duodenal ulcers induced by cysteamine administered subcutaneouly. These results suggest that the ethylacetate fraction of plantain can be used in prevention and treatment of experimentally induced gastric mucosal damage and ulcers.

Purpose : Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the most common gastrointestinal infections worldwide; it almost invariably causes chronic gastritis. Pediatric studies may provide important insights into the mucosal immune response of H. pylori-infection, as children are not submitted to environmental factors such as alcohol, tobacco and anti-inflammatory medication. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mucosal immune response against H. pylori in clinically well-defined groups: H. pylori-positive (divided into peptic ulcer disease and gastritis) and H. pylori-negative control. Methods : Antral biopsies were obtained from 45 children undergoing an upper GI endoscopy for dyspeptic symptoms. T cells (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+) and B cells (CD20+) were analyzed by quantitative immunohistochemistry. The correlation of lymphocyte subsets of gastric mucosa with histology was evaluated. Results : T cells (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+) and B cells (CD20+) were significantly increased in the lamina propria of H. pylori-positive group (P<0.01). CD8+ T cells were significantly increased in the lamina propria of the H. pylori-positive peptic ulcer disease (P<0.01). Within the epithelium, only CD4+ T cells were significantly increased in the H. pylori-positive group (P<0.01). Gastric histological parameters had a closer correlation with lymphocytes in the lamina propria than intraepithelial lymphocytes. Conclusion : This study suggests that both T cells and B cells in the lamina propria play important roles in the local immune response of H. pylori-infected children. Furthermore, it remains to be elucidated whether CD8+ T cells in the lamina propria may contribute to peptic ulcer formation in H. pylori-infected children.

Black ginseng (BG) obtained by a 9-fold steaming process of Panax ginseng has been reported to have anti-oxidative, anti-obesity, and anti-diabetes effects. The current study evaluated the protective effect of BG by steaming time in an HCl/ethanol-induced acute gastritis model. BG was divided into four samples according to steaming-drying processing (Gin1, Gin3, Gin6, and BG). High performance liquid chromatography analysis, free radical scavenging activity, and total phenol and flavonoid contents were examined in ginseng and four BG samples. Compared with ginseng, BG showed a stronger radical scavenging effect and higher contents of total phenol and flavonoids. To evaluate the anti-gastritic effect of BG, mice were distributed into five groups: normal mice (N), acute gastritic mice with distilled water (CON), acute gastritic mice with 100 mg/kg of ginseng (Gin0), acute gastritic mice with 100 mg/kg of BG (BG), and acute gastritic mice with 10 mg/kg of sucralfate (SC). After 1 hour of pre-treatment with water, extracts (Gin0 and BG), or drug (SC), experimental groups except for N were orally administered 0.5 mL of 150 mM HCl/60% ethanol (v/v) mixture. Blood was collected 1 hour later from the heart, and gastric tissue was harvested. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were measured in serum, and related protein expression was examined by Western blot assay. In HCl/ethanol-induced acute gastritic mice, treatment with ginseng or BG improved mucosal damage in the histological evaluation. The serum ROS level significantly decreased in the BG-treated group compared with the CON group. Furthermore, expression of inflammatory cytokines significantly decreased in the BG-treated group compared with the CON group. Based on these results, antioxidant and anti-gastritic activities of ginseng were enhanced by streaming-drying processing, in part due to an increase in biological active compounds.

Background: Though infections of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) are closely associated with activation of host angiogenesis, the underlying mechanisms, as well as the strategy for its prevention, have not been identified. Here, we investigated a causal role of H. pylori infection in angiogenesis of gastric mucosa and a potent inhibitory effect of a gastric proton pump inhibitor (PPI) on the gastropathy. Materials and Methods: A comparative analysis of CD 34 expression in tissues obtained from 20 H. pylori-associated gastritis and 18 H. pylori-negative gastritis patients was performed. Expression of $HIF-1{\alpha}$ and VEGF were tested by using RT-PCR. To evaluate the direct effect of H. pylori infection on differentiation of endothelial HUVEC cells, we carried out an in vitro angiogenesis assay. Results: H. pyfori-associated gastritis tissues showed significantly higher density of $CD34^+$ blood vessels than did H. pylori-negative gastritis tissues, and the levels were well correlated with expressions of $HIF-1{\alpha}$. Conditioned media from H. pylori-infected gastric mucosal cells stimulated a tubular formation of HUVEC cells. We also found a significant inhibitory effect of PPI, an agent frequently used for H. pylori eradication, on H. pylori-induced angiogenesis. This drug effectively inhibited the phosphorylation of MAP kinase ERK1/2, which is a principal signal for H. pylori-induced angiogenesis. Conclusion: The fact that PPls can down-regulate H. pylori-induced angiogenesis suggest that anti-angiogenic treatment using PPI may be a preventive approach for H. pylori-associated carcinogenesis.

Objectives This study investigated the mitigating effect of Yukmijihwang-tang on antral gastritis and duodenitis by regulating gastrin release in mice. Methods : The normal group comprised mice with no inflammation; the control group comprised mice with ethanol-induced gastroduodenal inflammation. The sample group included inflammation-induced mice treated with Yukmijihwang-tang. Results Based on morphology and histochemistry findings, many hemorrhagic erosions were observed in the control group, while significantly fewer erosions were seen in the sample group. Immunohistochemistry findings showed that the distributions of gastrin, substance P, HSP70, NF-κB p65, and iNOS were considerably lower in the Yukmijihwang-tang -treated group than in the control group. Conclusions The findings suggest that Yukmijihwang-tang has a potent mitigating effect on antral gastritis and duodenitis in mice.

In a preliminary screening of plant extracts for the antigastritic and antiulcer actions in rats, the extracts of head of Panax ginseng Radix showed positive activity in HCl ethanol-induced gastric lesion. Among the systematic fractions of hexane, chloroform, butanol and water, the most potent butanol fraction reduced significantly HCl ethanol-induced gastric lesion at the oral dose of 500 mg/kg. In pylorus ligated rats, hexane and butanol fraction showed decreases in the volume of gastric secretion and acid output, of which effects were stronger in butanol fraction. Further assays with butanol fraction disclosed that it significantly suppressed the aspirin-induced and Shay ulcer. The butanol fraction at the intraduodenal dose of 500 mg/kg showed significant stimulation of mucus secretion.
