Features: This book focuses on introducing some diseases and syndromes in the digestive system that have been extensively studied and have seen rapid progress in recent years, such as acid-related diseases and Helicobacter pylori-related diseases, gastrointestinal tumors, gastrointestinal motility disorders, as well as liver diseases, pancreatic diseases, and AIDS related to immune function. It explains the etiology and pathogenesis of some diseases using the latest theories from domestic and international research. It integrates the most advanced technologies into the diagnosis and treatment of certain diseases. This book does not aim to be comprehensive and is not a complete textbook of gastroenterology. Instead, it simplifies complexity, focuses on certain aspects, and highlights parts that are rarely covered in other gastroenterology, such as gastrointestinal lymphoma, portal hypertensive gastritis, and immunological pancreatitis. It also highlights the changes in the spectrum of diseases. The book is richly illustrated with images, including some less common esophageal manometry, barium meal X-ray contrast, and pathological photos. It serves as a necessary reference for gastroenterologists in the 21st century to understand major digestive system diseases and engage in medical practice, teaching, and research.
