5 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background Tight junction proteins (TJPs) play a role in epithelial defense mechanisms. However, the effect of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) on TJPs remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the expression of TJPs in relation to Hp infection and eradication in gastric carcinogenesis. Methods In total, 510 subjects (284 controls and 226 gastric cancer [GC] patients) were prospectively enrolled in the...
