Objective The long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may induce adverse events in many organs, including the stomach. The chronic use of PPIs has been associated with the growth of fundic gland polyps (FGPs) and of gastric black spots. This study assessed the incidence of gastric lesions with cobblestone-like appearance in PPI users. Methods The clinical characteristics and endoscopic findings of patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy after using PPIs for at least six months were analyzed. The biopsy specimens from patients with gastric cobblestone-like lesions (GCLLs) were examined histopathologically. Patients This study analyzed 171 patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy after more than 6 months of PPI use in Mitsugi Public General Hospital from January 1, 2015, to March 31, 2016. Results Of the 171 patients, 60 (35.1%) had GCLLs and 111 (64.9%) did not. There were no significant between-group differences in age, sex, duration of PPI use, and receipt of Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy. Atrophic gastritis of the corpus was significantly less frequent in the GCLL than in the non-GCLL group (55.0% vs. 47.8%, p=0.0097). Among the GCLL group, histological examinations of 24 patients revealed cystic dilation of the fundic gland in 19 (79.2%), parietal cell hyperplasia in 18 (75.0%), and cytoplasmic vacuolation in 7 (29.2%). Conclusion GCLLs occurred frequently in long-term PPI users, especially in patients without atrophic gastritis. The pathological findings of GCLLs included parietal cell hyperplasia and fundic gland cysts. The clinical importance of these new lesions remains uncertain, but they should be observed carefully.

Clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for severely calcified lesions remain poor. The purpose of this study was to investigate the neointimal response after everolimus-eluting stents (EES) for severely calcified lesions treated with rotational atherectomy (RA) using optical coherence tomography (OCT).We retrospectively analyzed 34 lesions in which PCI was performed with EES deployment following RA and OCT was performed immediately after PCI and at follow-up (nine months). The EES was either durable-polymer (DP) EES (22 lesions) or bioabsorbable polymer (BP) -EES (12 lesions). Strut coverage and malapposition were evaluated at 1-mm intervals of cross-section (CS) by serial OCT analysis. Malapposed strut was defined as having the distance from luminal border > 100 μm.A total of 11,823 struts immediately after PCI and 11,720 struts at follow-up were analyzed. Immediately after PCI, the strut-level analysis showed no significant differences in the percentage of malapposed struts between the DP-EES group and the BP-EES group. At follow-up, the BP-EES group showed a more prevalent covered strut compared with the DP-EES group (strut-level analysis: 95% versus 97%, P = 0.045; CS-level analysis: 97% versus 100%, P < 0.01; lesion-level analysis: 27% versus 83%, P < 0.01, respectively).In severely calcified lesions requiring RA, the BP-EES group achieved better neointimal coverage than the DP-EES group at nine months. Additional prospective studies are needed.
