Purpose: Several studies of an endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR) have been reported, but reports about benign protruding lesions that arise at the scar of EMR for early gastric cancer (EGC) or a gastric adenoma are rare. The purpose of this study was to elucidate endoscopic and histological characteristics of benign protruding lesions which arise at the scar of an EMR for EGC and a gastric flat adenoma. Materials and Methods: In 101 lesions (73 gastric flat adenomas and 28 EGCs) from 96 patients, 16 lesions developed new protruding lesions that arose at the scar of the EMR. We retrospectively analyzed the endoscopic findings of initial and protruding lesions, and several other clinical factors (H. pylori infection, eradication therapy, and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) or H2-blocker use). Results: 1. The mean duration until detection of the protruding lesion was 8.9 months ($1.5\∼27$). Protruding lesions arose at the scar of the EMR in 1 of 28 EGCs ($3.6\%$) and from 15 of 73 gastric flat adenomas ($20.5\%$). All of the patients were men. 2. With respect to the endoscopic findings, the shapes of the protruding lesions were as follows: 10 Yamada (Y) I, 4 Y-II, 1 Y-III, and 1 flat lesion. Histological examination of the protruding lesions revealed regenerating hyperplasia in 5 lesions, intestinal metaplasia in 5, and both in 6. 3. The incidence of these lesions was higher in cases of tubular adenomas with focal high-grade dysplasia than in cases of tubular adenomas without dysplasia (p<0.05). 4. The incidence of H. pylori infection was higher in patients ($81.7\%$) who developed a protruding lesion than in those ($51.8\%$) who did not develop (p=0.029); also, the incidence of use of PPI was higher in those patients (p=0.045). However, eradication therapy for H. pylori and duration of use of PPI or H2-blocker showed no difference between groups. Conclusions: It may be possible that the potential hyperplasia that may reside in normal mucosa surrounding EGC or a gastric adenoma might awaken during the healing process of the EMR ulcer and develop to benign protruding lesions. And, H. pylori and PPI might also be related to the development of the protruding lesions.

Background/Aims: The aim of this study was to analyze the trend of the prevalences of atrophic gastritis (AG) and intestinal metaplasia (IM) from 2011 to 2016~2017 in Korea. And, the risk factors of AG and IM were compared between 2011 and 2016~2017. Materials and Methods: A total of 4,023 subjects in 2011 and 2,506 subjects in 2016~2017 were enrolled. AG and IM were diagnosed on the basis of endoscopic findings. Multivariate analysis was performed for risk factors of AG and IM. Seventeen factors were analyzed. Results: The seroprevalence of Helicobacter pylori decreased from 2011 (59.8%; 2,407/4,023) to 2016~2017 (51.6%; 1,293/2,506; P<0.001). The prevalence of AG decreased from 2011 to 2016~2017 (P=0.018), but that of IM increased (P<0.001). The risk factors of AG in 2011 were male sex, old age, H. pylori immuoglobulin G (IgG) positivity, family history of gastric cancer (GC), and high-salt diet. For IM in 2011, the risk factors were male sex, old age, H. pylori IgG positivity, and family history of GC. Risk factors of AG in 2016~2017 were old age, H. pylori IgG positivity, and country of residence. For IM in 2016~2017, the risk factors were male sex, old age, family history of GC, high fasting glucose level (${\geq}126mg/dL$), H. pylori IgG positivity, and low income level. Conclusions: The difference in prevalence trends of AG and IM between 2016~2017 and 2011 could be the result of the different risk factors of AG and IM, such as decreased prevalence of H. pylori infection.

목적: 소아기는 알코올이나 약물 등에 의한 자극이 거의 없는 시기로 H. pylori 감염의 자연 경과와 단기간의 영향을 연구하기에 적합한 시기이다. 최근 H. pylori 감염의 기전으로 중요시되고 있는 위상피세포 증식과 세포사에 대해 소아에서 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 1996년 5월부터 2001년 6월까지 이화여자대학교 목동병원 소아과에서 소화기 증상으로 내시경을 시행하여 H. pylori 감염으로 진단된 58예와 감염 음성 40예를 대상으로 하였다. H. pylori 감염 양성은 조직학적으로 H. pylori 균이 관찰되고, CLO 검사와 ureC PCR이 전부 양성인 경우로 하였다. 위생검 조직에서 개정된 시드니 체계를 이용하여 조직 소견을 분석하고, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) 발현으로 위 상피세포 증식의 정도를, in situ terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferasemediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) 방법으로 세포사의 정도를 조사하였다. 결과: 1) H. pylori 감염 양성에서 다핵형 중성구의 활동성(P=0.000), 만성 염증(P=0.000), 상피손상(P=0.000), 림프여포(P=0.000)의 정도가 감염 음성에 비하여 유의하게 높았다. H. pylori 감염 양성에서 장형화생은 관찰되지 않았다. 2) H. pylori 감염 양성에서 세포 증식 지표는 $67.8{\pm}18.13$으로, 음성 $54.8{\pm}14.46$에 비하여 유의하게 높았다(P=0.000). 세포 증식 지표는 H. pylori 밀도가 증가할수록(r=0.277, P=0.007), 다핵형 중성구의 활동성이 증가할수 (r=0.280, P=0.007), 만성염증이 증가할수록(r=0.284, P=0.006) 증가하였다. 3) 세포사 지표는 H. pylori 감염 양성에서 $0.44{\pm}0.447$, 음성에서 $0.14{\pm}0.196$으로 감염 양성에서 음성보다 유의하게 높았다(P=0.000). 세포사 지표는 H. pylori 밀도가 증가할수록(r=0.472, P=0.000), 다핵형 중성구의 활동성이 증가할수록(r=0.370, P=0.001), 만성 염증이 증가할수록(r=0.483, P=0.000) 증가하였다. 4) 세포 증식 지표가 증가할수록 세포사 지표는 유의하게 증가하였다(r=0.353, P=0.003). 결론: H. pylori 감염 소아에서 세포 증식 지표와 세포사 지표가 유의하게 증가하였으며 상관성도 유의하였다. 이는 소아에서 위 상피세포 증식과 세포사가 H. pylori의 병인에 중요함을 시사하며, 앞으로 세포 증식과 세포사의 기전, 유발 요인 외에 다른 병독 인자와의 관련성에 대한 연구가 필요하리라 생각된다.
