Are low Levels of Pepsinogen I and Pepsinogen I/II Ratio Valuable Serologic Markers for Predicting Extensive Gastric Corpus Atrophy in Patients Undergoing Endoscopic Mucosectomy?
A low PGI level and PGI/II ratio are valuable serologic markers for predicting corpus GC atrophy, and have clinical implications with respect to the corpus location of tumors in mucosectomy patients.
The results show that binding of IL-1β to its receptor in human CEC leads to parallel activation of AP-1 and NF-κB pathways, leading, in turn, to FGF2 expression and enhanced cell migration.
