Article Abstract
Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely applied for acid related disorders, and possess pleiotropic biological functions. The effect of PPIs on the gastric mucosa, neutrophil and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infiltration and glandular atrophy has not been well investigated, particularly the duration of the effects of PPIs.
Objectives: To investigate the effects of PPIs on neutrophil infiltration, H. pylori infiltration and the gastric mucosa.
Material And Methods: A total of 76 adult patients with gastrointestinal symptoms who had undergone upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were enrolled in the study. Each patient's history was recorded, including smoking, alcohol consumption and the duration of PPI use prior to gastric biopsy. Endoscopic biopsies of gastric antral mucosa were performed and evaluated by histology. Neutrophil and H. pylori infiltration were graded by H & E staining in accordance with the updated Sydney system.
Results: Among the 76 patients, 44 patients had H. pylori infection and 19 patients had taken PPIs for varying durations prior to gastric biopsy. Neutrophil infiltration was significantly inhibited by PPIs (p = 0.005). The duration of PPI use was correlated with inhibition of neutrophil and H. pylori infiltration. A logistical regression analysis demonstrated that PPIs significantly inhibited neutrophil infiltration in the gastric mucosa and were associated with atrophy of the mucosa.
Conclusions: PPIs attenuated neutrophil infiltration of gastric mucosa, and may be related to atrophy of the mucosa.

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).

Chronic infection is a major contributor to gastric disease progression, with its involvement in autophagy and stem cell dynamics playing a critical role in disease mechanisms. This study investigated how . , particularly in combination with the carcinogen N-nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU), disrupted autophagy and stem cell function, driving gastric pathology.

Colonization of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in stomach often causes gastritis, an inflammation of the stomach lining that is closely associated with serious conditions like ulcers and gastric cancer. Of the toxicity mechanisms, microbial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) binding to TLR4 receptor on the glandular cells activates the NF-κB pathway, inducing pro-inflammatory cytokine release and immune cell infiltration, which results in the tissue damage.

() is an uncommon gastric pathogen increasingly recognized for its role in gastrointestinal diseases. Unlike (), is rarely detected and often overlooked. It is typically associated with milder pathological features, including less neutrophilic activity, reduced mononuclear infiltration, and endoscopic signs of chronic gastritis without erosions or ulcers.
