Obesity and Upper Gastrointestinal Diseases
Korean J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 25;83(3):81-86. doi: 10.4166/kjg.2024.015.ABSTRACTObesity increases gastroesophageal reflux disease through several factors. As a result, Barrett's esophagus, esophageal adenocarcinoma, and gastroesophageal junctional gastric cancer are increasing. Existing studies usually defined obesity by body mass index and analyzed the correlation. Recently, more studies have shown that central obesity is a more important variable in upper gastrointestinal diseases related to gastroesophageal reflux. Studies have reported that weight loss is effective in reducing gastroesophageal reflux symptoms. Obesi...

Analysis of the Potential Molecular Mechanisms of Asthma and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
This study aimed to explore the biological markers related to asthma and GERD by bioinformatics analysis. Initially, gene expression datasets for asthma and GERD were obtained from the GEO database, and subsequent differential expression analysis yielded 620 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) for asthma and 2367 DEGs for GERD. The intersection of these two gene sets yielded a total of 84 DEGs. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses revealed that these genes may be involved in steroid hormone secretion and cellular stress response. Five hub genes (PTGDR2, CPA3, F...
