Objective The aim of this study was to describe the FICE application on gastric mucosa characteristics including normal and pathological changes, with or without H.pylori infection, and its corre-lation with histopathoingical evidence. Methods A total of 32 patients with dyspepsia symptoms and 5 healthy controls were enrolled into study. Each one underwent esophngogastreduedenoscopy (EGD) examina-tion with FICE and magnified observation. The whole stomach was examined by 3 steps: including conven-tional endoscopy followed by magnifying and FICE observation of the gastric antrum and body as well as biop-sies. All the patients were asked to take the rapid urease test (RUT) 、13C -urea breath test (13C-UBT) . Gastric antrum and body were both sub-classified into following 3 patterns by FICE observation and high reso-lution magnifying endoscopy. The sensitivity, specificity of each FICE pattern of both gastric antrum and body were analysed for the assessment of H. pylori infection, and the consistency with the results of RUT and 13C-UBT. Furthermore, the histopathologic parameters including inflammation、activity、atrophy and intestinal metaplasia were also assessed, Results FICE patterns of gastric antrum and body of all 5 control subjects were type Ⅰ, corresponded to an H. pylori negative and non-atrephy gastric mueosa. In study group on gastric antrum, 14 cases of FICE type Ⅰ pattern were noted and only 1/14(7. 1%) corresponded to an H. pylori positive gastric mucosa. 13 cases of FICE type Ⅱ pattern were noted and 10/13 (76. 9%) corresponded to an H.pylori positive mucosa and 9/13(69. 2%) were positive for both gastric atrophy. 5 cases of FICE type Ⅲ pattern were noted and 5/5 (100%) corresponded to an H. pylori positive mucosa and 3/5 (60%) were positive for both gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia. There was statistical difference in prediction of H. pylori infection between type Ⅰ FICE pattern and type Ⅱ or type Ⅲ pattern on gastric antrum (P <0. 01). In study group on gastric body, 15 cases of FICE type Ⅰ pattern were noted and only 1/14(7. 1%) corre-sponded to an H. pylori positive gastric mucosa. 13 cases of FICE type Ⅱ pattern were noted and 11/13 (84. 6%) corresponded to an H. pylori positive mucosa. 4 cases of FICE type Ⅲ pattern were noted and 4/4 (100%) corresponded to an H.pylori positive mucosa. There was statistical difference in prediction of H. pylori infection between type Ⅰ FICE pattern and type Ⅱ or type Ⅲ pattern on gastric body (P < 0. 01). Conclusion FICE in combination with high resolution magnifying endoscopy is valuable for identifying the normal gastric mucosa, H.pylori infection and its associated gastritis, gastric atrophy as well as intestinal metaplasia.

BACKGROUND:Xenogeneic ligament is readily available, which has ligament scaffold structure and is conducive to tissue ingrowth and creeping substitution. After processing, the xenogeneic ligament, with the presence of good growth scaffold function, can be completely eliminated antigenicity that can cause immune rejection. OBJECTIVE:To study the feasibility of biological xenogeneic ligament graft instead of alogeneic ligament graft for reconstruction of goat anterior cruciate ligament. METHODS: Twenty-four healthy adult goats were randomly divided into A, B, C groups, and then, the left knee joints of goats were removed to establish animal models of anterior cruciate ligament injury in the three groups. After the establishment of the tibia and femoral bone tunnel, groups A, B, C were respectively transplanted with biological xenogeneic ligament graft combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels, biological xenogeneic ligament graft alone, and alogenic ligament. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After implantation, no rejection but good biocompatibility was found in the group A, in which, the transplanted ligament as a functional scaffold for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, and new tissues in-grew and replaced the scaffold under intraarticular environment to form the new ligament with good bone tendon healing. However, there were no differences in histology, immune response, biomechanical findings between groups A and C. Additionaly, in the group A, the host tissues were found to grow into the scaffold and establish a micro-circulation. These findings indicate that xenogeneic ligament combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels can accelerate the establishment of micro-circulation and promote the growth of ligaments, especialy improve the ligament revascularization significantly, but has no influence on the biological characteristics of the ligament.
