Kelly Asbury, the director who had directed Shrek 2, died of stomach cancer on June 26 at the age of 60 after years of battling stomach cancer.
Recently, the news of the death of Shen Jilan, the only NPC deputy in China from the first re-election to the thirteenth term, has attracted national attention. According to media reports, Shen Jilan was suffering from advanced stomach cancer, the disease was old, unable to perform surgery, only conservative treatment, and eventually died of stomach cancer.
In addition to public figures, there are many stomach cancer patients, and there are new additions every day, every hour, and every minute around the world, which is a wake-up call for us all the time.
How stomach cancer is formed, among which there are many high-risk factors for stomach cancer, such as irregular diet, like to eat some spicy stimuli, pickled foods, etc., high work pressure, genetic factors, oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, etc., and one is the risk factor that Helicobacter pylori is highlighted today, which can significantly reduce the incidence of gastric cancer through early intervention.
Helicobacter pylori infection can cause gastric neutrophils and lymph node cells and other inflammatory cell infiltration becomes the main cause of acute gastritis and chronic active gastritis, of which the inflammatory mediator nitric oxide (NO) is a strong vasodilator factor, but also very famous carcinogen nitros compound precursor, studies have shown that Helicobacter pylori will have a significant stimulating effect on nitric oxide (NO), so it is very meaningful to find Helicobacter pylori and eradicate Helicobacter pylori infection.
Helicobacter pylori has a spiral or rod-like appearance and is named after parasitizing the pyloric site. It is curved, S-shaped or curved, and lined up like a school of fish in the gastric mucosa. When it becomes spherical in an environment that is not conducive to its growth, it is also a static state of self-protection.
Helicobacter pylori can grow and reproduce in the human body, and can be excreted through feces and saliva, and people are pyloric spiral rods
The source of infection of the bacteria, which is transmitted by mouth-to-mouth transmission, fecal-oral transmission, endoscopic transmission or close contact.
How do we all find Helicobacter pylori, the clinically more commonly used simple breathing method, called 13C-urea exhalation test, before doing it will let everyone swallow a pill that is pre-used for stable isotope 13C to label urea, there is no urease in human cells, and Helicobacter pylori has urease, so the presence of urease in the stomach is evidence of hp existence, when oral administration of 13C, if there is HP in the stomach, the urease it produces can quickly decompose urea into carbon dioxide and ammonia, Carbon dioxide is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and circulated through the bloodstream to the lungs and then discharged with exhalation. We collect the exhaled gas and measure its numerical changes to accurately prove whether there is any HP infection.
Helicobacter pylori infection is closely related to the onset of gastric cancer, so hp infection is found, HP eradication therapy is very important, the best period for eradication of Helicobacter pylori to prevent gastric cancer is before atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, if beyond this starting point, resulting in mucosal lesions are difficult to reverse. In radical treatment, be sure to follow the doctor's instructions for regular medication, until the complete eradication of Helicobacter pylori, so as to avoid the emergence of drug-resistant strains, the most clinically used is quadruple therapy, including bismuth + PPI + two antibiotics, the course of treatment is generally 14 days, and the 13C breath test needs to be reviewed regularly at the end of treatment.
