4%, respectively) (P > 0.05). The serum PG I, PG II and PGR in the same disease patients was no statistical difference between anti-Hp IgG positive and anti-Hp IgG negative (P > 0.05). Conclusion: 1) The PGR is a downward trend in the healthy controls, superficial gastritis group, peptic ulcer group, atrophic gastritis group, dysplasia group and gastric cancer group. 2) The changes in serum PG were significantly related with gastric cancer and gastric precancerous lesions. When PG I ≤ 73.14 ng/ml

or PGR ≤ 4.79, that ABT-199 datasheet has better specificity and sensitivity to gastric carcinoma, and has important clinical value to the diagnosis for the gastric cancer and precancerous lesions. 3) The HP infection has little effects on the changes of serum pepsinogen levels in patients with gastric cancer, gastric precancerous lesions, and its definite mechanism remains to be further studied.

This study assessed the feasibility Hedgehog antagonist and safety of using a newly developed wireless JSPH-1 pH capsule system to monitor pH in patients with GERD. Methods: Ninety-one patients with symptoms suggestive of GERD entered the study. All patients underwent esophageal pH monitoring using the JSPH-1 pH capsule. Forty-five patients used conventional catheter pH measurement (MMS) as self-paired controls. The electrodes were positioned at the same level under chest X-ray. The pH data were recorded and capsule detachment was assessed by chest X-ray. Results: The capsule was successfully O-methylated flavonoid attached, and evaluable 24 h pH recordings were obtained in all patients. There were no significant differences of 24 h esophageal acid exposure

recorded by the JSPH-1 pH capsule and MMS catheter in terms of total number of reflux episodes, the number of episodes longer than 5 min, the longest reflux time and percentage of total time with pH < 4.0. Esophageal acid exposure over 24 h measured by the two devices showed a significant correlation (r2 = 0.996, P < 0.001). Concordance of the diagnosis of GERD was 100% (κ = 1.000). Capsule detachment occurred spontaneously in 89 patients; two capsules required endoscopic removal due to chest pain. No severe adverse events were reported. The capsule system was associated with less interference with daily activity and diet. Conclusion: The JSPH-1 pH capsule provided a feasible and safe method for monitoring reflux in patients with GERD. Key Word(s): 1. JSPH-1 pH capsule; 2.
