Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor of the digestive system with strong invasiveness and a high metastasis rate.Its morbidity and mortality rank among the top five in the world and the prognosis is closely related to the disease stage.Multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment based on systemic antitumor drugs is generally adopted in patients with advanced or metastatic gastric can-cer,but the prognosis is typically poor.With the in-depth research on the tumor microenvironment,the development of multi-omics technology,and the application of immunotherapy and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy,the therapeutic effect of advanced gastric can-cer has been initially improved,and immunotherapy has become the most potential of the treatment strategies.Many studies have found that Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection status is closely related to the efficacy of immunotherapy for gastric cancer,especially im-mune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs),but there is not clear whether it has advantages or disadvantages.This article reviews the current research on the efficacy of Hp on ICIs in advanced gastric cancer to provide ideas for further research on the interaction between Hp in-fection and tumor immunotherapy.

Biliary fibrosis (BF) is the result of pathological repair of bile tract injury, characterized by thickening and sclerosis of the bile duct wall and progressive stricture of the lumen, which may ultimately lead to serious adverse outcomes such as biliary obstruction, biliary cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatobiliary malignancies. Current research describes BF as a pathological feature of certain bile tract diseases, lacking a systematic summary of its etiology, pathophysiology, molecular mechanisms, and treatment. BF is a common but easily neglected disease state in biliary system, which may promote the development and progression of hepatobiliary diseases through abnormal repair mechanism after pathological biliary tract injury. Based on the latest research progress from both domestic and international perspectives, the authors review the concept, clinical manifestation, etiology, pathogenesis, and therapeutic strategies of BF to provide a reference for clinical physicians.
