Background:
H. pylori infection has been recognized as a type 1 carcinogen of the gastric malignancy; therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are the corner stone of eradication. Recent findings have also shown that atrophy and intestinal metaplasia remain after successful eradication, which moderately increases the risk of gastric cancer compared with those who have never infected, so the evaluation of gastric mucosa during gastroscopy is important.
Aims:
We aimed to describe and summarize the reliable literature and proposed features of H. pylori infection status and gastritis in research on newly developed endoscopic models that influence clinical practice. In the result, conventional white light endoscopic, image-enhanced endoscopic models, and studies related to the Kyoto classification of gastritis were searched and reviewed.
Results:
Kyoto classification of gastritis and modified Kyoto classification scoring model for gastritis using conventional white light image (CWLI) endoscopy is an effective tool for evaluating current H. pylori infection status, past infections, eradications, noninfections, and pre-cancerous conditions. This model is widely used, low cost, and time-efficient, and is supported by recent findings. Advanced image-enhanced endoscopic models combined with magnifying endoscopy provide more clear endoscopic features for H. pylori infection status and early gastric cancer.
Conclusion:
According to H pylori infection status, endoscopic prediction of gastric mucosal surface architecture analysis is possible, which influences clinical management. Endoscopic models might lead us to accurate and early diagnose of H. pylori infection status and may not be effective only for the eradication of H. pylori infection but also in the detection of early gastric cancer status.

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.

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...
