Subjects testing negative for GC(n=208) were followed up from 1998 to 2015. The levels of PGC and MG7 in the biopsies were determined by immunohistochemistry.Results: PGC was positive in 91.4% of the non-atrophic gastritis, 26.5% of the atrophic gastritis, and 0% of the GC. MG7 was positive in 15.0% of the non-atrophic gastritis, 82.4% of the atrophic gastritis, and 94.8% of the GC. The non-atrophic gastritis group was predominantly "PGC+MG7-". The atrophic gastritis and GC groups were predominantly "PGC-MG7+". The rate of GC in subjects with "PGC-MG7+" staining was 113.4-fold higher [95% confidence interval(95% CI): 15.3-869.4, P<0.001] than that in subjects with other staining patterns.The sensitivity and specificity of the "PGC-MG7+" pattern were 92.2% and 78.8% for the detection of GC and77.2% and 97.9% for GC and precancerous disease, respectively. In the follow-up cohort of non-GC subjects, the risk of developing GC was higher in those with the "PGC-MG7+" staining pattern.Conclusions: Our data suggest that the "PGC-MG7+" pattern can be employed as a useful follow-up panel for detecting individuals with a high risk of GC, and the dynamic assessment of the follow-up panel needs multi-centre large-scale validation in the future.展开更多

Methods: The expression level of antigen MG7 was determined by immunohistochemistry method in 406 cases of gastric mucosa. The classification of intestinal metaplasia of gastric mucosa was determined by histochemistry method in 82 cases. Results: The positive rate of MG7 expression in normal gastric mucosa, intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia of gastric mucosa and gastric cancer were increased gradually (P<0.01). The positive rate of MG7 expression in superficial gastritis, atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer were increased on sequence (P<0.01). The positive rate of antigen MG7 expression in type III intestinal metaplasia of gastric mucosa had significant difference, compared with that in type I an II intestinal metaplasia (P<0.05). Conclusion: MG7 antigen had close relationship with gastric cancer. Type III intestinal metaplasia, atrophic gastritis and dysplasia should be followed up in order to improve the early detection of gastric cancer. MG7 antigen had great clinical value in the dynamic follow-up of gastric precursors.展开更多
