Article Abstract
Objective: To review the research progress on Type IV secretion system (T4SS) in Helicobacter pylori.
Data Sources: The data used in this review were identified by searching of PUBMED (1995 - 2007) online resources using the key terms 'Type IV secretion system' and 'Helicobacter pylori'.
Study Selection: Mainly original articles and critical reviews written by major pioneer investigators of this field were selected.
Results: The research progress on T4SS in Helicobacter pylori was summarized. The structure and function was discussed.
Conclusions: T4SS is not only involved in toxin secretion and injection of virulence factors into eukaryotic host target cells, but also involved in horizontal DNA transfer to other bacteria and eukaryotic cells, through DNA uptake from or release into the extracellular milieu. It provides a new insight into the pathogenicity of Helicobacter pylori and a novel target for antimicrobials development. However, many challenges remain for us in understanding the biological role of T4SS in Helicobacter pylori.

Surgical pathologists who examine gastric biopsies must triage exuberant lymphoid infiltrates for hematopathology consultation, a task that should account for resource and time utilization. We assembled all cases of chronic gastritis sent by surgical pathologists to hematopathology due to concern for low-grade lymphoma over a 4-year interval. The cases were ultimately classified as reactive (n=37), atypical (n=9), or lymphoma (n=18).

Background: Gastric cancer epidemiology evolved rapidly in the last century, shifting from being one of the main causes of cancer-related death to the sixth in high-income countries.
Methods: We conducted a narrative review on gastric cancer epidemiology. Our review focused on trends of gastric cancer and its relationship with Helicobacter pylori infection; cardia and noncardia gastric cancer risk factors; early onset gastric cancer; second primary cancers in patients with gastric cancer; and implementation of gastric cancer prevention strategies.

We report the case of a nine-year-old boy who presented with severe pancytopenia and respiratory distress. His medical history was notable for pica, chronic epigastric pain, pallor, and intermittent vomiting. Initial laboratory investigations revealed profound anemia (Hemoglobin (Hb) 2 g/dL), neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and significant deficiencies in vitamin B12 and vitamin D.
