Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infect nearly half of the global population, contributing to upper digestive tract diseases. This 2019 cross-sectional study included 3,867 patients undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and 2,875 undergoing both colonoscopy and EGD. Subjects were categorized into H. pylori positive and negative groups by rapid urease test (RUT). In addition to exploring the relationship between H. pylori infection and upper gastrointestinal diseases, this study further revealed that H. pylori infection was closely related to lower digestive tract diseases, including colorectal polyp (63.28%) and colorectal cancer (75.76%), as well as upper and lower gastrointestinal comorbidities, including chronic atrophic gastritis with colorectal polyp (79.85%), peptic ulcer with colorectal polyp (79.72%), gastric polyp with colorectal polyp (66.24%), and chronic atrophic gastritis with colorectal cancer (92.86%). Besides, a univariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to compare the differences between the two groups (including gender, nationality, marital status, smoking history, drinking history, living area, age, BMI, glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels), the results identified marital status and age as independent risk factors for H. pylori infection (OR, 1.435; 95% CI, 1.042 to 1.977; OR, 1.007; 95% CI, 1.001 to 1.013). Further clarification of the correlation between the prevalence of gastrointestinal diseases and H. pylori infection will be important for H. pylori infection management strategies and the treatment and prevention of gastrointestinal diseases.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) plays an important role in the development of gastric cancer, although its association to colorectal polyp (CP) or colorectal cancer (CRC) is unknown. In this issue of World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Zhang et al investigated the risk factors for H. pylori infection after colon polyp resection. Importantly, the researchers used R software to create a prediction model for H. pylori infection based on their findings. This editorial gives an overview of the association between H. pylori and CP/CRC, including the clinical significance of H. pylori as an independent risk factor for CP/CRC, the underlying processes of H. pylori-associated carcinogenesis, and the possible risk factors and identification of H. pylori.

Abstract
Kyoto global consensus reports that the current ICD-10 classification for gastritis is obsolete. The Kyoto classification of gastritis states that severe mucosal atrophy has a high risk of gastric cancer, while mild to moderate atrophy has a low risk. The updated Kimura-Takemoto classification of atrophic gastritis considers five histological types of multifocal corpus atrophic gastritis according to stages C2 to O3. This method of morphological diagnosis of atrophic gastritis increases sensitivity by 2.4 times for severe atrophy compared to the updated Sydney system. This advantage should be considered when stratifying the high risk of gastric cancer. The updated Kimura-Takemoto classification of atrophic gastritis should be used as a reference standard (gold standard) in studies of morpho-functional relationships to identify serological markers of atrophic gastritis with evidence-based effectiveness. The use of artificial intelligence in the serological screening of atrophic gastritis makes it possible to screen a large number of the population. During serological screening of atrophic gastritis and risk stratification of gastric cancer, it is advisable to use the Kyoto classification of gastritis with updated Kimura-Takemoto classification of atrophic gastritis.

Abstract
The advancement of bioinformatics and machine learning has facilitated the discovery and validation of omics-based biomarkers. This study employed a novel approach combining multi-platform transcriptomics and cutting-edge algorithms to introduce novel signatures for accurate diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Different random forests (RF)-based feature selection methods including the area under the curve (AUC)-RF, Boruta, and Vita were used and the diagnostic performance of the proposed biosignatures was benchmarked using RF, logistic regression, naïve Bayes, and k-nearest neighbors models. All models showed satisfactory performance in which RF appeared to be the best. For instance, regarding the RF model, the following were observed: mean accuracy 0.998 (standard deviation (SD) < 0.003), mean specificity 0.999 (SD < 0.003), and mean sensitivity 0.998 (SD < 0.004). Moreover, proposed biomarker signatures were highly associated with multifaceted hallmarks in cancer. Some biomarkers were found to be enriched in epithelial cell signaling in Helicobacter pylori infection and inflammatory processes. The overexpression of TGFBI and S100A2 was associated with poor disease-free survival while the down-regulation of NR5A2, SLC4A4, and CD177 was linked to worse overall survival of the patients. In conclusion, novel transcriptome signatures to improve the diagnostic accuracy in CRC are introduced for further validations in various clinical settings.

Abstract
Autophagy is a regulated, intracellular degradation process that delivers unnecessary or dysfunctional cargo to the lysosome. Autophagy has been viewed as an adaptive survival response to various stresses, whereas in other cases, it promotes cell death. Therefore, both deficient and excessive autophagy may lead to cell death. In this study, we specifically attempted to explore whether and how dysregulated autophagy contributes to caspase-dependent neuronal cell death induced by the neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). Ultrastructural and biochemical analyses indicated that MN9D neuronal cells and primary cultures of cortical neurons challenged with 6-OHDA displayed typical features of autophagy. Cotreatment with chloroquine and monitoring autophagic flux by a tandem mRFP-EGFP-tagged LC3 probe indicated that the autophagic phenomena were primarily caused by dysregulated autophagic flux. Consequently, cotreatment with an antioxidant but not with a pan-caspase inhibitor significantly blocked 6-OHDA-stimulated dysregulated autophagy. These results indicated that 6-OHDA-induced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) played a critical role in triggering neuronal death by causing dysregulated autophagy and subsequent caspase-dependent apoptosis. The results of the MTT reduction, caspase-3 activation, and TUNEL assays indicated that pharmacological inhibition of autophagy using 3-methyladenine or deletion of the autophagy-related gene Atg5 significantly inhibited 6-OHDA-induced cell death. Taken together, our results suggest that abnormal induction of autophagic flux promotes apoptotic neuronal cell death, and that the treatments limiting dysregulated autophagy may have a strong neuroprotective potential.

Abstract
Ever since Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) was recognized as an infectious cause of gastric cancer, there has been increasing interest in examining its potential role in colorectal carcinogenesis. Data from case-control and cross-sectional studies, mostly relying on hospital-based samples, and several meta-analyses have shown a positive statistical relationship between H. pylori infection and colorectal neoplasia. However, the possibility exists that the results have been influenced by bias, including the improper selection of patients and disparities with respect to potential confounders. While the evidence falls short of a definitive causal link, it appears that infection with H. pylori/H. pylori-related gastritis is associated with an increased, although modest, risk of colorectal adenoma and cancer. The pathogenic mechanisms responsible for this association remain uncertain. H. pylori has been detected in colorectal malignant tissues; however, the possibility that H. pylori is a direct activator of colonic carcinogenesis remains purely hypothetical. On the other hand, experimental data have indicated a series of potential oncogenic interactions between these bacteria and colorectal mucosa, including induction and perpetuation of inflammatory responses, alteration of gut microflora and release of toxins and/or hormonal mediators, such as gastrin, which may contribute to tumor formation.
