Prof. Yi Qi Du previously worked on H.pylori and its relationship with gastric cancer. During the time he spent in Leeds, UK as a visiting scholar, he studied H.pylori serology and signal transduction involved in gastric cancer genesis. He investigated H. pylori status and serum pepsinogen I and pepsinogen II levels in a Schistosoma japonicum prevalent Chinese population. After he came back in 2005, he has focused his scientific interests on topics related to pancreatic diseases, such as early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer (PDAC) and the mechanism of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). He is now leading a team administering moderately severe acute pancreatitis or SAP with organ failure or infection in patients, more than 120 cases per year. He led a team studying the biomarkers of PDAC and found a series of miRNAs or gene methylation markers, such as miR-21, 155, 196a, and SPARC gene, among others. He also confirmed the aberrant expression of the above biomarkers in the serum or plasma, which could potentially be clinically used as an index for PDAC. He is also an expert in gastrointestinal endoscopy, who first reported the effect of EUS-guided brachytherapy on PDAC in 20 cases. He has more than 2000 cases of experience in single/double balloon enteroscopy and set up a protocol for the endoscopic treatment of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. He was awarded the Chinese Science and Technology Award twice (2007 and 2013) for his work on H.pylori genotyping in China and studies on pancreatic diseases, respectively.
