Chronic gastritis is a prevalent gastroentestinal disease in Korea. The purpose of this study was to investigate status of foods and nutrients intake and health related biochemical indicators in the patients with chronic gastritis. Daily food and nutrient intake, blood lipids, and antioxidant indicators in the urine, were compared between a group of 19 patients diagnosed with chronic gastritis and a control group of 27 subjects having normal gastroscopy. No significant differences were found in age, height, weight, body mass index, and blood pressure between the two groups. Daily energy intakes were 1900.6 kcal for the chronic gastritis patient group, and 1931.8 kcal for the normal control group without significant difference. No significant difference was found between the two groups in all nutrient intakes except for cholesterol. The chronic gastritis patients consumed lower amount of sugars and sweeteners but greater amount of starchy food groups such as potatoes and legumes than subjects of control group consumed. Also the chronic gastritis patients showed higher serum triglyceride concentration than the normal subjects. These results indicate that the dietary pattern of chronic gastritis patients may have relation to a change in the serum lipid level; however, more systematic research with a larger samples size is required.

N/A This study was conducted to investigate the influence of chronic gastritis on the distribution of gastrin (G)-cells and gastrin levels in antral mucosa and blood in Korean patients. Fifty-one subjects were divided into three groups according to histological findings of biopsied specimens by endoscopy: normal subjects, patients with chronic superficial gastritis and patients with chronic atrophic gastritis. The G-cells in the antral mucosa were stained by the immunohistochemical method with gastrin antiserum and the number of G-cell per unit area (1 mm breadth of a 5 ㎛-thick sectioned mucosa) was counted. Gastrin levels in the antral mucosal tissue and plasma were measured by means of radioimmunoassay. The results were as follows: 1) The number of G-cells and the antral tissue gastrin level in normal subjects were 106±36.6 and 10.6±6.2㎍/g, respectively. Plasma gastrin concentrations of the normal subjects in fasting and postprandial states, 20 min and 40 min after ingestion of a meat meal, were 63.1±24.5, 141.8±73.8 and 126.0±62.5 pg/ml, respectively. 2) In patients with chronic superficial gastritis, fasting and postprandial plasma gastrin concentrations increased significantly compared with those of the normal subjects, while the number of the G-cells and antral tissue gastrin were not significantly different from the normal values. 3) In patients with chronic atrophic gastritis, the number of G-cells and antral tissue gastrin levels tended to decrease, but fasting and postprandial plasma gastrin concentrations tended to increase compared with the normal values. 4) No G-cells were observed in the region with intestinal metaplasia. The above results indicate that patients with chronic gastritis showed a marked increase in plasma gastrin concentration while the number of antral G-cells and antral tissue gastrin level decreased.

위염 분류의 역사적 배경

Gastritis is common worldwide. The combination of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection with background gastritis, including atrophic gastritis or intestinal metaplasia is implicated as an important etiopathogenetic contributor to gastric cancer. Since the gastritis classification proposed by Schindler, research has focused on classification of gastritis for accurate diagnosis and prediction of prognosis. Advances in endoscopic technology have enabled more accurate visualization of the gastric mucosa and ‘targeted’ biopsies with the emergence of newer classifications based on visual findings (Kimura-Takemoto classification) and more specific histopathological findings using targeted biopsies (Whitehead classification). Following the discovery of H. pylori, it is mandatory to consider its role as an important contributor to gastritis. Therefore, it was necessary to redefine the classification of gastritis and arrive at a consensus, which led to the establishment of an international consensus classification, referred to as the Sydney system. However, the Sydney system alone cannot predict the gastric cancer risk, and scoring systems such as the Operative Link for Gastritis Assessment and the Operative Link on Gastritis Assessment based on Intestinal Metaplasia were proposed. These systems are based on histopathological findings observed in endoscopic biopsy specimens. However, availability of high-definition images following technological advances has facilitated the emergence of a visual classification, the Kyoto classification. In contrast to the Sydney system, the Kyoto classification is based exclusively on interpretation of visual findings and focuses on detection of H. pylori infection and gastric cancer prediction. In this review, we summarize the history and background of the various classifications of gastritis.

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.

Helicobacter pylori Associated Lymphocytic Gastritis in a Child

김민정,엄대운,박기영 대한소아소화기영양학회 2014 Pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology & nutrition Vol.17 No.3

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 ther-apy of HpLG. Therefore the clinical and histopathologic evaluation should be considered as well as endoscopic findings.
