Features: Authored by dozens of domestic experts who have long been engaged in basic and clinical research in gastroenterology, physiology, immunology, nutrition, critical care medicine, and other fields; summarizes the authors' nearly 20 years of research achievements, outlining the latest research progress both domestically and internationally; systematically and comprehensively elaborates on the fundamental theories and common research methods of gastric mucosal injury and protection, laying a feasible platform for research in this field; combines fundamental theory with clinical practice, providing a reliable theoretical foundation for clinical practice; Professor Xiao Shudong and Professor Lin Sanren, the two consecutive chairpersons of the Gastroenterology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, have written prefaces for this book, believing it fills a domestic gap. It is an extremely valuable reference book for clinical gastroenterologists and hepatologists, as well as basic researchers in gastroenterology. The book comprehensively and systematically introduces the fundamental theories of gastric mucosal injury and protection, as well as the latest basic research progress and clinical research status in this field. The book is divided into 35 chapters, mainly including the mechanisms by which various gastric mucosal protective factors protect the gastric mucosa, as well as the mechanisms by which common gastric mucosal injury factors (such as gastric acid and pepsin, bile, Helicobacter pylori, drugs, immune injury, stress, alcohol, smoking, etc.) damage the gastric mucosa; the basic and clinical theories of common gastric mucosal injury lesions (such as acid-related diseases, Helicobacter pylori-related diseases, drug-related diseases, bile reflux diseases, alcoholic gastritis, stress ulcers, etc.), as well as the current clinical applications of commonly used gastric mucosal protective drugs. The content is comprehensive, systematic, and up-to-date, with detailed and thorough information. It emphasizes the combination of fundamental theory and clinical practice, as well as the integration of basic theory and research progress. It is suitable for clinical gastroenterologists and hepatologists, graduate students, and researchers engaged in related basic research fields.
