Abstract
Background Disturbance of the intestinal flora is a pathogenic factor for chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG). Hua-Zhuo-Jie-Du (HZJD) has been shown to be an effective Chinese herbal preparation for treating CAG. However, the effects of HZJD on the intestinal flora of CAG is unclear. In this study, we probed the regulating effects of HZJD on intestinal microbes in CAG rats using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Methods High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis was used to perform quality control of HZJD preparations. We then administered 1-methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine (200 μg/ml) to Sprague–Dawley rats to establish a CAG model. HZJD and vitacoenzyme were administered orally to these rats over a 10 week period. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was performed to observe the histopathology of CAG rats. A rarefaction curve, species accumulation curve, Chao1 index, and ACE index were calculated to assess the alpha diversity. Principal component analysis (PCA), non-metric multi-dimensional scaling (NMDS), and unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) were conducted to examine the beta diversity. The LEfSe method was used to identify differential bacteria. Differential function analysis used PCA based on KEGG function prediction. Results HPLC showed that our HZJD preparation method was feasible. H&E staining showed that HZJD significantly improved the pathological state of the gastric mucosa in CAG rats. The rarefaction curve and species accumulation curve showed that the sequencing data were reasonable. The Chao1 and ACE indices were significantly increased in CAG rats compared to the N group. Following HZJD and vitacoenzyme treatment, the Chao1 and ACE indices were decreased. PCA, NMDS, and UPGMA results showed that the M group was separated from the N, HZJD, and V groups, and LEfSe results showed that the relative abundance of Akkermansia, Oscillospira, Prevotella, and CF231 were significantly higher in the N group. Proteobacteria and Escherichia were significantly enriched in the M group, Allobaculum, Bacteroides, Jeotgalicoccus, Corynebacterium, and Sporosarcina were significantly enriched in the V group, and Firmicutes, Lactobacillus, and Turicibacter were significantly enriched in the HZJD group. Conclusion HZJD exhibited a therapeutic effect on the intestinal flora of CAG rats.

Abstract
Background
Hua-Zhuo-Jie-Du (HZJD), a Chinese herbal prescription consisting of 11 herbs, is commonly used in China to treat chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG). We aimed to determine the effect of HZJD on the microbiome-associated metabolic changes in CAG rats. Methods
The CAG rat models were induced by 1-methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) combined with irregular fasting and 2% sodium salicylate, which was intragastrically administrated in fasted animals for 24 weeks. The CAG rats in the Chinese medicine (CM) group were administered a daily dose of 14.81 g/kg/day HZJD, and the vitacoenzyme (V) group were administered a daily dose of 0.08 g/kg/day vitacoenzyme. All animals were treated for 10 consecutive weeks, consecutively. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was used to assess the histopathological changes in the gastric tissues. An integrated approach based on liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer (LC-MS) metabolic profiling combined with 16S rRNA gene sequencing was carried out to assess the effects of HZJD on CAG rats. Spearman analysis was used to calculate the correlation coefficient between the different intestinal microbiota and the metabolites. Results The H&E results indicated that HZJD could improve the pathological condition of CAG rats. The LC–MS results indicated that HZJD could significantly improve 21 gastric mucosal tissue perturbed metabolites in CAG rats; the affected metabolites were found to be involved in multiple metabolic pathways, such as the central carbon metabolism in cancer. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequencing indicated that HZJD could regulate the diversity, microbial composition, and abundance of the intestinal microbiota of CAG rats. Following HZJD treatment, the relative abundance of Turicibacter was increased, and the relative abundance of Desulfococcus and Escherichia were decreased in the CM group when compared with the M group. Spearman analysis revealed that perturbed intestinal microbes had a strong correlation with differential metabolites, Escherichia exhibited a negative correlation with l-Leucine, Turicibacter was negatively correlated with urea, and Desulfococcus exhibited a positive correlation with trimethylamine, and a negative correlation with choline. Conclusions HZJD could protect CAG by regulating intestinal microbiota and its metabolites.

Comparative metabolomics study on therapeutic mechanism of electro-acupuncture and moxibustion on rats with chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG). Sci Rep 2017; 7:14362.

Abstract
Some studies have proved that both acupuncture and moxibustion are very effective for the treatment of CAG. However, little is known about therapeutic mechanism of electro-acupuncture and moxibustion on CAG as well as the difference between them. On the other hand, metabolomics is a 'top-down' approach to understand metabolic changes of organisms caused by disease or interventions in holistic context, which consists with the holistic thinking of electro-acupuncture and moxibustion treatment. In this study, the difference of therapeutic mechanism between electro-acupuncture and moxibustion on CAG rats was investigated by a 1H NMR-based metabolomics analysis of multiple biological samples (serum, stomach, cerebral cortex and medulla) coupled with pathological examination and molecular biological assay. For all sample types, both electro-acupuncture and moxibustion intervention showed beneficial effects by restoring many CAG-induced metabolic changes involved in membrane metabolism, energy metabolism and function of neurotransmitters. Notably, the moxibustion played an important role in CAG treatment mainly by regulating energy metabolism in serum, while main acting site of electro-acupuncture treatment was nervous system in stomach and brain. These findings are helpful to facilitate the therapeutic mechanism elucidating of electro-acupuncture and moxibustion on CAG rats. Metabolomics is promising in mechanisms study for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Since 1993, we have performed preoperative embolization therapy (PET) in an attempt to augment the blood flow of the gastric tube and prevent anastomotic leakage after esophageal resection. The clinical effects and complications associated with PET are reported. METHODS The femoral artery was punctured and the left gastric artery, right gastric artery, and splenic artery underwent embolization, leaving the right gastroepiploic artery as the only patent feeding artery for the stomach. PET was performed in 54 patients, and data concerning blood flow of the stomach before and after the construction of the gastric tube were available in 51 patients. Of the 25 patients who were operated in the same period without undergoing PET, similar data were available in 20 patients. RESULTS In the group of patients who underwent PET, the blood flow of the gastric tube after its construction was 67% of the value measured at the upper part of the stomach just after opening the abdominal cavity. For those who were not pretreated by PET, it declined to 33%. CONCLUSIONS PET for esophageal cancer is a safe procedure that contributes to the decrease in the frequency of anastomotic dehiscence after esophageal operation, owing to the augmented tissue blood flow of the upper portion of the stomach following the construction of gastric tubes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We developed a novel treatment of preoperative embolization therapy in an attempt to prevent anastomotic leakage after esophageal resection. We report the results of this new treatment. METHODS Preoperative embolization therapy (PET) was performed in 24 cases of esophageal carcinoma. The femoral artery was punctured, and celiac angiography was performed. The left gastric artery and splenic artery underwent embolization. The right gastric artery then underwent embolization at a site beyond the second or third branch to the gastric wall. With a laser flow meter the stomach tissue blood flow was measured before and after construction of the gastric tube, and the change in blood flow was compared. RESULTS The average decrease in gastric blood flow was 23% in patients with PET and 65% in patients without PET. Twenty-one (88%) of 24 cases maintained more than 50% tissue blood flow in patients with PET and in 1 (8%) of 12 in patients without PET (p < 0.001 by t test). No serious complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative embolization therapy is a safe and uncomplicated technique, and tissue blood flow in the stomach was better preserved. This new technique is expected to reduce the frequency of anastomotic leakage after esophageal operation.

Abstract
This study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of the double-stapling technique (DST) for performing esophageal anastomoses. A total of 17 patients, 10 with esophageal cancer and 7 with gastric cancer, underwent esophageal anastomosis employing this technique. Of the ten patients who underwent esophageal operations, eight received esophageal-gastric tube anastomosis, one esophageal-colon and colon-residual stomach anastomosis, and one pharyngeal-gastric tube anastomosis, while all seven of the patients who underwent operations for gastric cancer received esophagojejunostomy. Thus, a total of 18 anastomoses were performed. No problems were encountered during the anastomoses, and no leakage occurred in any of the patients. Thus, we conclude that DST is a safe and easy technique for performing esophageal anastomosis, especially intrathoracic or intramediastinal anastomoses.
