Abstract:
A 67-year-old man had a gastric polyp diagnosed on screening. Atrophic changes in the upper gastric mucosa were seen on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. In addition, endoscopy revealed in the middle area of the stomach wall a 10 mm polyp that was diagnosed as a carcinoid tumor through biopsy. Blood serum gastrin was elevated at 2,800 pg/mL.We diagnosed a Rindi Type 1 gastric carcinoid. The patient was planned to be treated with surgical laparoscopy assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG); however, the procedure was changed to intraoperative laparoscopy assisted total gastrectomy (LATG). Chromogranin-positive tumor pathological findings in the mucous membrane submucosa and in the muscularis mucosae endocrine cell micronest (ECM) were widespread. There was no obvious vascular invasion. After the surgery, the serum gastrin level normalized and the patient remains alive.

Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...

01:17Gastritis-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...
