The goal of this study is to investigate the antiulcer effects betalain-rich extract (BRE). Gastric ulcer was induced by administration ethanol gastric gavage route. This showed that supplementation BRE from pulp and peel at 800 mg/kg rats with ethanol-induced gastric-ulcer significantly reduced volume secretion (VGS) 35% ( p <m...

Gastric juice cultures were positive in all patients with gastric disorders and 44% with duodenal ulcers. A positive correlation was observed between pH and positivity of gastric cultures (JPMA 32:282, 1982).

Background: Cholelithiasis and chronic cholecystitis cholelithiasis is fairly common all around the world. Since inflammation causes repeated trauma to gallbladder mucosa DNA damage led by high or abnormal bile acid exposure, gallstones are closely related development of hepatobiliary cancers. After cholecystectomy, some patients experience ongoing upper abdomen pain, which distressing for surg...

Free radicals play an important role in stomach ulcer formation. The present investigation validates the anti ulcer activity of hesperidin, isolated from Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck, Rutaceae, through the assessment of its antioxidant potential over stomach mucosal tissue by histological examination. Hesperidin was isolated from the dried peel of C. sinensis, and authenticated by TLC, IR and HP...

A 60-year-old man, with occasional acid reflux, was found on computed tomography (CT) to have multiple masses in his esophagus (●" Fig.1a), stomach (●" Fig.1 d), and liver. He had a history of partial hepatectomy for inflammatory liver pseudotumor on two occasions, 22 and 9 years earlier. Physical examination revealed no superficial lymph node. Blood test showed that hemoglobin was 105g/L, and ...
