Gastric atrophy in childhood.
نویسنده
چکیده
Chronic gastritis and gastric atrophy are common in later adult life. Hebbel (1943) investigated the incidence of chronic gastritis at necropsy in patients dying from a variety of causes but whose history revealed no evidence of gastric symptoms. He found that gastric changes of any degree were rare below the age of 30 years and severe changes uncommon below the age of 50 years. Atrophic gastritis was found in 30% of his cases over 50 years old, but was uncommon below this age. He concluded that it bore no demonstrable relation to any process other than age. Subsequent investigations have shown that as age advances, gastritis appears with increasing frequency in patients suffering from a variety of conditions (Coghill, 1960) as well as in normal subjects. The occurrence of chronic gastritis and gastric atrophy in childhood is not well recognized and has been rarely recorded. 2 cases are presented here, the first associated with iron-deficiency anaemia and the Paterson-Kelly syndrome, and the second associated with auto-immune hypothyroidism.

Association between genetic polymorphisms related to DNA repair or xenobiotic pathways and gastric premalignant conditions.
BACKGROUND Genetic factors related to DNA repair or xenobiotic pathways might confer different degrees of susceptibility to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-related gastric carcinogenesis. The association between XRCC1 Arg399Gln, and Arg194Trp, GSTP1 Ile104Val, and GSTT1, GSTM1 null polymorphisms with gastric intestinal metaplasia, severity of histological gastritis, and peptic ulcer diseases we...

AIM To investigate the relationship between plasma ghrelin level, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection status and the severity of atrophy in hemodialysis patients. METHODS One hundred eights patients who received hemodialysis and 13 non-hemodialysis H. pylori-negative controls underwent gastroduodenoscopy to evaluate the severity of gastric atrophy.
