The controls comprised 199 prospectively collected dyspeptic outpatients without BE or any endoscopically visible lesions in the upper GI tract.Fasting levels of serum G-17 (G-17fast) were assayed with an EIA test using a Mab highly specific to amidated G-17. None of the patients and controls received therapy with PPIs or other antisecretory agents.RESULTS: The mean and median levels of G-17fast in serum were significantly lower (P = 0.001) in BE patients than in controls. The positive likelihood ratios (LR+) of low G-17fast to predict BE in the whole study population at G-17fast levels ＜0.5, ＜1, or ＜1.5 pmol/L were 3.5, 3.0,and 2.8, respectively. Among patients and controls with healthy stomach mucosa, the LR+ were 5.6, 3.8, and 2.6,respectively. In the whole study population, serum G-17 was below 2 pmol/L in 15 of 19 BE patients (79%). The corresponding prevalence was 66 of 199 (33%) in controls (P＜0.001). The G-17fast was 5 pmol/L or more in only one of the 19 BE patients (5%). In controls, 76 of the 199 patients (38%) had such high serum G-17fast levels (P＜0.01).CONCLUSION: Serum levels of G-17fast tend to be lower in native patients with BE than in healthy controls.展开更多

Methods:Superficial gastritis group (n=247), gastric ulcer group (n=159) and gastric cancer group (n=97) who were pathologically diagnosed by gastroscopy in Chongqing wanzhou district people's hospital of 5 between August 2016 and August 2017 were selected, and the differences in serum pepsinogen Ⅰ/Ⅱ ratio and gastrin-17 content as well as proliferation and apoptosis gene expression in lesion tissue were compared among the three groups. Pearson test was used to evaluate the correlation of pepsinogen Ⅰ/Ⅱ ratio and gastrin-17 content with malignant proliferation activity of cancer cells in patients with gastric cancer. Results: Serum pepsinogenⅠ/Ⅱ ratio and gastrin-17 content in gastric cancer group were lower than those in gastric ulcer group and superficial gastritis group. Proliferation genes EIF5A2, MACF1 and PIK3CD mRNA expression levels in gastric cancer group were higher than those in gastric ulcer group and superficial gastritis group whereas SIRT1 mRNA expression level was lower than that in gastric ulcer group and superficial gastritis group;apoptosis gene Livin mRNA expression level was higher than that in gastric ulcer group and superficial gastritis group whereas Bad and Noxa mRNA expression levels were lower than those in gastric ulcer group and superficial gastritis group;serum pepsinogen Ⅰ/Ⅱ ratio and gastrin-17 content in gastric cancer group were negatively correlated with EIF5A2, MACF1, PIK3CD and Livin mRNA expression levels, and positively correlated with SIRT1, Bad and Noxa mRNA expression levels. Conclusion: The serum pepsinogen Ⅰ/Ⅱ ratio and gastrin-17 content abnormally reduce in patients with gastric cancer, and the specific levels are directly correlated with gastric cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis activity.展开更多
