Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To identify and compare changes in nutrients, metagenomic factors, metabolites, and microRNA molecules in gastric carcinogenesis by Helicobacter pylori, and to evaluate the interaction of these gastric microenvironmental factors. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) To examine changes in gastric microbiome and microRNA profiles in gastric cancer patients and compare these profiles between Lithuanian and Japanese gastric cancer patients. 2) Investigate changes in the amount of short-chain fatty acids in the gastric juice of gastric cancer patients, and compare the amounts with those of non-H. pylori-infected individuals. 3) Evaluate the relationship between the amount of short-chain fatty acids in gastric juice and nutritional factors, and compare the results between Lithuanian and Japanese subjects. 4) Quantify the expression of CD44v9 and CAPZA1 in gastric tissue and compare the differences in expression of these genes between Japanese and Lithuanian patients. 5) Investigate the subtype of CagA, the virulence factor of Helicobacter pylori, and compare between Japanese and Lithuanian. 6) To identify metagenomic and microRNA factors associated with gastric premalignancy (atrophic gastritis) and compare them between Japanese and Lithuanian subjects. | — |
