Capelozzis necrosis is a novel histological biomarker for the diagnosis of chronic microaspiration in fibrosing interstitial lung diseases
Conclusions: Our results demonstrate strong evidence that part of the CN intraluminal content is of animal origin, supporting CMA as a potential etiological factor of F-ILDs. CN may be a novel and reliable histological biomarker for the diagnosis of CMA in F-ILDs (FAPESP Nº22/02821-0, 21/09024-6, 21/10981-5, 19/01517-3). (Source: European Respiratory Journal)

Hepatic invasion of a gastric ulcer confirmed by endoscopy and surgery
Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2023 Oct 26. doi: 10.17235/reed.2023.9999/2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 66-year-old woman who had been suffering from chronic anorexia for two years was transported to the hospital after being unable to consume food for three days. She had no hematemesis or abdominal pain and had no history of taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Blood tests showed marked anemia with hemoglobin of 3.3 g/dL, and esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a large ulcer lesion in the lesser curvature of the gastric body and a liver-like mass protruding from the ulcer base. Biopsy of the mass showed proliferation o...

Acupuncture as an adjunctive therapy for gastric ulcer: A modified Delphi consensus study
CONCLUSION: There is a lack of definitive acupuncture guidelines that can effectively determine the optimal therapeutic approach for the treatment of gastric ulcer. This expert consensus provides recommendations for clinical research and practice of acupuncture, with a particular focus on the selection of acupoints. However, further exploration through rigorous studies is necessary due to the limited availability of clinical evidence.PMID:37865304 | DOI:10.1016/j.ctim.2023.102997 (Source: Complementary Therapies in Medicine)

Regulation of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant responses by methanol extract of Mikania cordata (Burm. f.) B. L. Rob. leaves via the inactivation of NF- κB and MAPK signaling pathways and activation of Nrf2 in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages
Biomed Pharmacother. 2023 Oct 19;168:115746. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115746. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMikania cordata (Burm. f.) B.L. Rob. has been traditionally used in tropical countries throughout Asia and Africa to treat gastric ulcers, dyspepsia, and dysentery. However, the mechanisms responsible for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities are not fully understood. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of methanol extracts of M. cordata (MMC) on inflammation and oxidative stress in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine RAW 264.7 macrophages and ...

Exp Ther Med. 2023 Sep 21;26(5):519. doi: 10.3892/etm.2023.12218. eCollection 2023 Nov.ABSTRACTThe Sellick maneuver is used for endotracheal intubation to prevent the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux. The aim of the present study was to observe the effect of the Sellick maneuver on safety, esophageal closure status, gastric mucosal fold extension status, and positive detection rate of lesions in patients with esophageal hiatal hernia under painless gastroscopy. A total of 40 patients with esophageal hiatal hernia who underwent painless gastroscopy were screened for the use of the Sellick maneuver, in which the operato...
