Abstract Background: According to the study population, incidence of gastric polyps (GPs) varies from 0.33% to 6.7% in various studies. Most GPs consist of hyperplastic polyps (HPs), fundic gland polyps (FGPs), and adenomatous polyps (APs). Despite the high malignant APs potential, sporadic FGPs has no malignant potential. On the contrary, HPs has a lower risk of potential harm. It is not sufficient to perform biopsies to determine the presence of polyp types and displacements, therefore, some polyps may require extensive biopsy or complete resection. Methods: This retrospective study included GPs patients or polyphenic lesions with polyps or malignant histology found in polyps or gastroscopy at the Department of Gastroenterology, Shaanxi Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from 2017 to 2019.Results: In a series of 10.000 upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, 384 patients (3.84%) were found to have GPs. Of these patients, 98 (25.5) were male and 286(74.5) were female. The average age of the patients was 62.8±10.4 (36-75) years. HPs, APs and FGPs frequencies were 88.5%, 5.2% and 2.1%, respectively. The polyp size of 274 (71.3%) patients was ≤ 1 cm. Polyp was identified in 262 (68.2%) patients. The most common polyps are the antrum and the corpus. Endoscopic mucosal resection was performed on 128 patients. Bleeding events have been observed and endoscopic treatment is required after ESP.Conclusion: In current study, GPs frequency was low (3.84%), and HP frequency may be high due to high frequency of Helicobacter pylori (HPy) infection in China. Due to the high frequency of HPy infection and the short-term use of proton pump use, FGP frequency may be low.

Abstract BACKGROUNDAccording to the study population, incidence of gastric polyps (GP) varies from 0.33% to 6.7% in various studies. Most GPs consist of proliferative polyps (HP), gastric fundus polyps (FGP) and adenomatous polyps (APs). Despite the high malignant AP potential, sporadic FGP has no malignant potential. On the contrary, HP has a lower risk of potential harm. It is not sufficient to perform biopsies to determine the presence of polyp types and displacements, therefore, some polyps may require extensive biopsy or complete resection. METHODS This retrospective study included GP patients or polyphenic lesions with polyps or malignant histology found in polyps or gastroscopy at the Department of Gastroenterology, Shaanxi Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from 2017 to 2019.RESULTSIn a series of 10.000 upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, 384 patients (0.38%) were found to have GPs. Of these patients, 98 (25.5) were male and 286(74.5) were female. The average age of the patients was 62.8 ± 10.4 (36-75) years. HP, AP and FGP frequencies were 88.5%, 5.2% and 2.1%, respectively. The polyp size of 274 (71.3%) patients was ≤ 1 cm. Polyp was identified in 262 (68.2%) patients. The most common polyps are the antrum and the corpus. Endoscopic respiratory polypectomy was performed on 128 patients. Bleeding events have been observed and endoscopic treatment is required after ESP.CONCLUSIONIn current study, GP frequency was low (0.38%), and HP frequency may be high due to high frequency of Helicobacter pylori (HPy) infection in China. Due to the high frequency of HPy infection and the short-term use of proton pump use, FGP frequency may be low.

The stomach was assessed by measuring serum pepsinogen (PG) and Helicobacter pylori (Hp) antibodies by immunoassay, based on the findings of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy performed on the same day. The assessment involved 1,636 individuals who visited the hospital for general medical checkups. Those negative for Hp antibodies and PG were grouped in group A, Hp-positive/PG-negative subjects were included in group B, and PG-positive subjects in group C. Group A comprised 660 subjects (40.3%), group B 514 (31.4%), and group C 462 (28.2%). Gastric cancer was detected in 0.87% (4/462) in group C, 0.19% (1/514) in group B, and 0% (0/660) in group A. All four patients with gastric adenoma were in group C. Hyperplastic polyps were detected most frequently in group C followed by group B, while there were no cases in group A. By contrast, most fundic gland polyps were found in group A. The detection rate of peptic ulcers was highest in group B, while that of reflux esophagitis was highest in group A. These findings suggest that the “degree of health” of the stomach can be assessed by measuring serum PG and Hp antibodies.

Objective:  Is it necessary to perform pre operative upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in elective symptomatic cholelithasis? Study Design: Prospective observational study. Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at surgical departments of  Services Hospital,  Ruth PFAHU, Civil Hospital Karachi, Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Medical College, Lyari Karachi and Liaquat University Of Medical and Health Sciences, Jamshoro from July 2018 to December 2019. Methodology: Study consisted of 382 patients. All patients were subjected to Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy 24 to 48 hours before cholecystectomy followed by biopsy were obtained for histopathology if required. Those patients not willing for surgery, General anesthesia problem, pregnant ladies due to risk of foetal loss, carcinoma of gall bladder, stone in CBD and obstructive jaundice were excluded. Results: Out of the 382 patients, 66(17.27%) males and 316(82.72%) females with mean age of study population was 46.10 ± 6.31 years (22 to 65 years). Patients were present typical pain in 146(38.21%) cases and atypical pain in 236(61.78%) cases. Pre operative upper gastrointestinal endoscopy findings revealed Esophagitis in 22(5.75%) cases, GERD in 26(6.80%) cases, gastritis in 88(23.03%), gastric ulcer 49(12.82%), duodenal ulcer in 39(10.20%), polps 21(5.49%) and carcinoma of stomach 9(2.35%). Out of 236(61.78%) cases with atypical pain had persistence of symptoms in 141 (59.74%) cases upto four months. Conclusion: We conclude that upper gastrointestinal endoscopy preoperatively for gallstone disease should be performed. So that preoperatively atypical symptoms are evaluate and taken care of, and patients is fully informed and also treated for associated conditions.
