... infection exhibit greater atrophy. We investigated histopathological features in serologically diagnosed gastric atrophy without H. pylori infection. Methods: Thirty-four patients with positive serum pepsinogen and negative serum H. pylori antibody tests underwent gastric biopsy and histological evaluation...

... gastritis caused by HP infection were divided into the group with FD symptoms and the group ­without FD symptoms. Patient backgrounds, QOL, gastric mucosal atrophy severity, and serum pepsinogen (PG) value were compared between the 2 groups. Twelve months after eradication, those factors were evaluated...

... point is to investigate H. pylori infection rate in hemodialysis patients. As secondary end point, we clarified whether pepsinogen (PG) level was related with H. pylori infection status in hemodialysis patients. Methods: Serum levels of PG I, II, and anti- H. pylori IgG antibody were assessed in 500...

... and pepsinogen (PG) test, subjects with normal PG and seronegative for H. pylori are named as “Group A” and are regarded as having a low risk of gastric cancer. These “Group A” subjects include unintentionally eradicated cases at relatively high risk, and this study aimed to identify these subjects. Methods...

... for gastric cancer screening does not have much effect on the detection rate for gastric cancer in Japan. A candidate for a new mass screening for gastric cancer, the ABC method, using the combination assay of Hp and serum pepsinogen, was useful for identifying the development of gastric cancer in high-risk...

...Hans-Karl Heim; Markus Piller; Xiahong An; Petra Kilian; Susanne Netz; Karl-Friedrich Sewing Cell isolation may impair secretory chief cell functions. To evaluate whether a monolayer culture results in a recovery, we compared the effects of cholecystokinin (CCK) octapeptide (CCK-8) on pepsinogen...

...Juhani Puurunen The action of ethanol on peptic activity in the stomach was evaluated by studying ethanol-induced changes in pepsinogen secretion in the rat in vivo and the effects of ethanol on pepsinogen and pepsin in vitro. Irrigation of the stomach with 3% ethanol in 100 m M HCl plus 50 m M...

...S. Matzku; M. Zöller; W. Rapp A solid-phase sandwich radioimmunoassay was developed to quantitate human group-II pepsinogens in plasma. The test detected pepsinogen II in a concentration range of 0.25–64.0 ng/ml using sample volumes of 125 μl. Purified group I pepsinogens showed no response up...

Methods: Histological assessment of antral and corpus tissue was done by the updated Sydney Classification and serum pepsinogen I and II levels were measured using ELISA kits. Infected...

Oxyntic gland mucosa of stomach was obtained on postnatal days 15, 16, 18 and 21 (days 0, 1, 3 and 6 after early weaning) and assayed for ODC activity, DNA, protein and pepsinogen...
