This article is for understanding relations between the classifications of gastritis and syndrome differentiation types of Korean Medicine through research on syndrome differentiations of clinically applied gastritis and literature of Korean Medicine. Clinical papers were searched in China Academic Journals(CAJ) of China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) from 1995 to 2015. Conclusions are as follows. First, disease mechanism of chronic gastritis are qi stagnation, damp stagnation, heat obstruction, blood stasis obstruction, yin damage, damage to collaterals with healthy qi deficiency and pathogenic qi. And qi movement stagnation is shown through the status of chronic gastritis. Second, chronic superficial gastritis belongs to qi aspect syndrome and mainly pathogen excess syndrome. And the key mechanisms are congestion and disharmony of stomach qi sometimes combined with liver depression, food accumulation and dampness-heat. Third, chronic atrophic gastritis belongs to qi-blood syndrome and deficiency-excess complex syndrome with the root of spleen qi deficiency and stomach yin deficiency and the tip of blood stasis, qi stagnation. And key mechanism is damage to collaterals with healthy qi deficiency and toxin-blood stasis. Forth, pathogen excess syndromes are shown at the early stage of chronic gastritis and healthy qi deficiency syndromes after the middle stage. Qi deficiency is shown at the beginning of the disease and yin deficiency at the late stage. And qi deficiency is related with superficial gastritis and yin deficiency with atrophic gastritis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to introduce gastric dysmotility as a common cause in patients with concurrent functional dyspepsia and chronic atrophic gastritis. Method: Dyspeptic symptoms, the Rydoraku score, gastric motility (electrogastrography, bowel sound analysis), gastric mucosa (gastroendoscopy), and blood and blood chemistry were all evaluated. For the treatment method, Pyengwi-san (solution) and Banwhasashim-tang (extract) were used as herbal drugs. Both ST36 electrical stimulation and simple immersion stimulation of CV11, 12, and 13 in the abdomen were applied. Results: Dyspeptic symptoms including indigestion, headache, and insomnia were all relieved. Gastric myoelectrical activity and gastric pyloric function were additionally improved. The condition of the gastric mucosa was changed from atrophic to erosive. Other side-effects of the treatment were not noted. Conclusion: The traditional Korean treatment showed effectiveness in the relief of dyspeptic symptoms and mucosal improvement of chronic atrophic gastritis. Gastric dysmotility is a common cause of the condition being concurrent with both functional dyspepsia and chronic atrophic gastritis without Helicobacter pylori infection.

Mycoplasmas resemble H. pylori in production of ammonia and induction of inflammatory cytokines from immune and non-immne cells. In Republic of Korea infection rate of H. pylori is relatively high but only a proportion of them invite additional inflammation and progress into gastric cancers. Therefore, additional risk factors cannot be excluded. The presence and identification of mycoplasma were confirmed by semi -nested PCR and sequencing and the results were compared with pathological data. Fifty-six samples collected from Korean chronic gastritis patients were used for the study. Twenty-three (41.1%) were positive to mycoplasmas and all of them were identified as human mycoplasmas, M. faucium, M. fermentans, M. orale, M. salivarium and M. spermatophilum. Mycoplasma-infected chronic gastritis samples showed more severe, additional infiltration of neutrophils than non-infected samples and the difference was significant (P < 0.05). In conclusion human mycoplasma infection may playa role in progression of chronic gastritis to metaplasia by inducing additional inflammation.

한국에서 만성위염은 10명당 한 명 꼴로 발생하는 질병이다. 서양의학에서는 만성위염을 진단하기 위해서 내시경 조사를 하지만 이는 환자에게 고통을 주고 비용이 비싸다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 반면 전통한방의학에 따르면, 오른쪽 손목의 '관' 위치는 위와 관련이 있다. 따라서 오른쪽 손목의 '관' 위치의 맥파를 측정하면 만성위염을 진단할 수 있을 것이다. 하지만 맥진은 한의사들의 지식과 경험에 의존하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 맥파를 분석하기 위한 체계적인 접근 방법을 제안한다. 처음에 맥파는 전처리 과정을 거친다. 그 다음 맥파에 가우시안 모델을 적용시킨 후, 맥파의 주요 인자들을 추출한다. 그리고 t-검증과 통계적 차이를 이용하여 질병에 민감한 파라미터들을 선택한다. 마지막으로 선택한 파라미터들은 분류를 위해서 Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) 알고리즘에 입력된다. 분류 결과 건강한 사람은 95% 만성위염 환자는 87% 분류하였다.

Lymphocytic gastritis (LG) is a rare subtype of chronic gastritis. It is defined as dense proliferation of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) more than 25 lymphocytes per 100 epithelial cells. The known major causes of LG are celiac disease and Helicobacter pylori infection. H. pylori associated LG (HpLG) has more enhanced cytotoxic and apoptotic tendencies than chronic H. pylori gastritis. A 12-year-old girl with postprandial epigastric pain was diagnosed HpLG on endoscopic biopsy. After the 1st eradication therapy, H. pylori bacilli were still found, and urea breathing test was positive. Although the endoscopic finding was partially improved, clinical symptoms and histologic finding were persisted. We could achieve the improvement of clinical symptoms and disappearance of IELs after the 2nd eradication. The discordant of histopathologic and endoscopic improvement occurred after the 1st eradication therapy of HpLG. Therefore the clinical and histopathologic evaluation should be considered as well as endoscopic findings.

Objective: This study assessed the effectiveness of using Yijung-tang to treat chronic gastritis through a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Methods: The search was conducted using keywords such as "gastritis", "Lizhong", "Yijung", and "Chronic gastritis" on July 31, 2023. A meta-analysis was conducted according to outcome measurements, such as total effective rate (TER), Traditional chinese medicine symptom score (TSS), gastric hormones, and symptom relief time, using the Review Manager website. Results: A total of 11 RCT studies were selected. The treatment group (Yijung-tang-gagam or Yijung-tang-gagam+Western medicine) showed significant improvement effects in terms of TER, TSS, serum gastrointestinal hormones (motilin (MTL), gastrin (GAS), and somatostatin (SS)), and symptom relief time compared to the control group (Western medicine). TER-RR : 1.20, 95% CI : 1.11 to 1.30, P≤0.00001, RR : 1.21, 95% CI : 1.14 to 1.28, P≤0.00001; MTL-MD : 35.99, 95% CI : 30.79 to 41.20, P≤0.00001); GAS-MD : 103.33, 95% CI : 97.62 to 109.04, P≤0.00001); SS : MD : -37.19, 95% CI : -41.75 to -32.64, P≤0.00001; symptom relief time (nausea)-MD : -1.96, 95% CI : -2.47 to -1.45, P≤0.00001; symptom relief time (colic)-MD : -1.75, 95% CI : -2.31 to -1.18, P≤0.00001. Conclusion: This study suggests that Yijung-tang is effective against chronic gastritis. However, the number of studies was insufficient, and the diagnosis and evaluation criteria were not standardized. Furthermore, because of the low quality of the included studies, more clinical studies need to be conducted to increase the possibility of clinical use.

한국에서 만성위염은 10명당 한 명 꼴로 발생하는 질병이다. 만성위염을 진단하기 위해서 일반적으로 내시경 검사를 하지만 이는 환자에게 고통을 주고 비용이 비싸다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 한편 비침습적이고 저비용인 전통한방의학의 맥진에 따르면, 오른쪽 손목의 '관' 위치에서 비위의 기능적 이상을 진단할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는, 전통한방의학의 견해에 따라 오른쪽 손목 '관' 부위의 맥파를 분석하여 만성위염 판별모델을 개발하였다. 모델의 판별률을 비교하기 위해, 피크-밸리 검출법과 가우시안 모델을 적용한 상이한 방법의 특징점 추출방법에 대해 선형판별분석 기법과 로지스틱 회귀분석법을 적용해 보았다. 그 결과, 판별모델과 특징점 추출 방법에 따라 77%~89%의 민감도와 72%~83%의 특이도를 보였고 각 모델의 평균 판별률은 약 80% 내외로 얻어졌다. 구체적으로, 가우시안 모델이 상대적으로 우수한 민감도(89.1%와 87.5%)를 보인 반면, 피크-밸리 검출법은 우수한 특이도(82.8%와 81.3%)를 보였고, 평균적인 판별률에 있어서는 가우시안 모델이 1.2% 정로 앞섰다(80.9% vs 79.7%). 결론적으로, 전통의학적 맥진원리에 기반한 요골동맥 맥파의 특성을 이용하여 유의미한 만성위염 판별모델을 얻을 수 있었고, 민감도에 있어서 가우시안 모델이 더 우수하였고, 특이도에 있어서 피크-밸리 검출법이 더 우수하였다.
