Objective:
In this study, we aimed to investigate endothelial functions in primary Sjögren syndrome.
Methods:
Thirty-five patients with primary Sjögren syndrome and 20 age and sex-matched healthy volunteers were recruited to the present study. Flow mediated dilatation of brachial artery and carotid intima-media thickness were measured in the study population.
Results:
Carotid intima-media thickness values were similar between groups (0.50 +/- 0.10, 0.53 +/- 0.08, p > 0.05). Flow mediated dilatation of the brachial artery was disrupted in the primary Sjögren syndrome group (7% vs 12%, p = 0.002).
Conclusion:
There is endothelial dysfunction in patients with primary Sjögren syndrome, although they had comparable carotid intima-media thickness with the healthy control group.

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
