Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) can play an important role in cellular injury and carcinogenesis of gastric epithelial cells infected with Helicobacter pylori . 8-OH-deoxy guanosine (8-OHdG) and 8-nitroguanine (8-NG) are markers for ROS- and RNS-mediated DNA oxidation, respectively. In this study, RNS-mediated DNA damage in gastric mucosa was observed directly using a newly developed antibody to 8-NG to clarify how H. pylori infection causes nitrative DNA damage to gastric epithelial cells.
Methods: Immunohistochemistry with anti-8-OHdG and anti-8-NG antibodies was performed on gastric tissue samples from 45 patients (25 men and 20 women) with H. pylori -positive gastritis and 19 patients (11 men and 8 women) exhibiting successful H. pylori eradication. Histologic factors for gastric mucosal inflammation were graded according to the guidelines of the Updated Sydney system.
Results: In corpus mucosa, 8-OHdG and 8-NG production were significantly associated with the degree of glandular atrophy, infiltration of chronic inflammatory cells and intestinal metaplasia in the glandular epithelial cells. Successful H. pylori eradication resulted in a significant reduction of chronic inflammatory cell infiltration and neutrophilic activity. Mean 8-OHdG production was lower after H. pylori eradication in both corpus and antral mucosa ( p = .022 and .049, respectively). However, the reduction in 8-NG exhibited was more pronounced than the reduction of 8-OhdG ( p = .004 and .007, respectively).
Conclusions: Helicobacter pylori infection can induce inflammatory cells infiltration, which evokes DNA damage of gastric epithelial cells through ROS and RNS production. 8-NG might be a more sensitive biomarker than 8-OHdG for H. pylori -induced DNA damage in gastric mucosa. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori gastritis is recognized as an important pathogenetic factor in peptic ulcer disease and gastric carcinogenesis, and is accompanied by strongly enhanced gastric mucosal matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) levels. AIM: This study was performed to investigate whether H. pylori-affected gastric mucosal MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels are reversible by successful treatment of the infection. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fifty-eight patients with H. pylori-associated gastritis were treated with a combination regimen of acid inhibitory therapy and antibiotics for 14 days. The levels and isoforms of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were measured by semiquantitative gelatin-zymography, bioactivity assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in gastric mucosal biopsy homogenates. RESULTS: Latent, active, and total MMP-9 levels decreased consistently and significantly by successful H. pylori eradication, in antrum as well as corpus mucosa, compared with those prior to treatment, irrespective of the therapy regimen used. The elevated levels remained unchanged, however, when treatment failed. MMP-2 levels did not show major alterations after H. pylori therapy. CONCLUSION: Elevated MMP-9 levels in H. pylori-infected gastric mucosa are reversible by eradication of the infection. No major changes in mucosal MMP-2 levels were observed by H. pylori eradication. 相似文献

Considerable knowledge has recently accumulated on the mechanism by which Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) induces chronic gastritis. Although H. pylori is not an invasive bacterium, soluble surface constituents can provoke pepsinogen release from gastric chief cells or trigger local inflammation in the underlying tissue. Urease appears to be one of the prime chemoattractants for recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells. Release of cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 1 and 6, and oxygen radicals, leads to a further tissue inflammation accompanied by a potent systemic IgA and IgG type of immune response. Chronic inflammation and antigens on glandular epithelial cells lead to a progressive destruction with loss of the epithelial barrier function. Within the gastric mucosa, patches of intestinal metaplasia develop, which may be a risk factor for subsequent development of gastric carcinoma. Hyperacidity in duodenal ulcer patients induces gastric metaplasia in the duodenal bulb, which represents a target for H. pylori colonization and ulcer formation. H. pylori can be detected in the majority of patients with peptic ulcers and, compared to age-matched healthy people, it is also found more often in patients with dyspepsia and gastric carcinoma. Although H. pylori can be detected in healthy people, the marked reduction of the ulcer recurrence rate by eradication of H. pylori (80 percent versus 20 percent relapse within one year) suggests that H. pylori is a major risk factor for duodenal ulcer formation. The potential role of H. pylori in non-ulcer dyspepsia and carcinogenesis is under investigation. Current regimens aimed at eradicating H. pylori use a combination of several drugs that are potentially toxic. Since the risk of complications may exceed the potential benefit in most patients, eradication treatment should be limited to clinical trials and to patients with aggressive ulcer disease. New drug regimens, e.g., the combination of proton pump inhibitors with one antibiotic, may provide less toxic alternatives. Beyond ulcer treatment, effective and well-tolerated eradication regimens may have a place in prophylaxis of gastric carcinoma. 相似文献

Effect of Helicobacter pylori infection on the expression of DNA mismatch repair protein 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

BACKGROUND: Helicobacer pylori infection is a major gastric cancer risk factor. Deficient DNA mismatch repair (MMR) caused by H. pylori may underlie microsatellite instability (MSI) in the gastric epithelium and may represent a major mechanism of mutation accumulation in the gastric mucosa during the early stages of H. pylori-associated gastric carcinogenesis. In this study, we examined the expression of DNA MMR protein (hMLH1 and hMSH2) in patients with chronic H. pylori infection before and after eradication of the infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Gastric tissue samples were collected from 60 patients with H. pylori gastritis and peptic ulcer disease before and after eradication of the infection. The DNA MMR protein expression (hMLH1 and hMSH2) was determined by immunohistochemical staining in 60 patients before and after H. pylori eradication. The percentage of epithelial cell nuclei and intensity of staining were then compared in gastric biopsies before and after eradication. RESULTS: The percentage of hMLH1 (76.60 +/- 20.27, 84.82 +/- 12.73, p=.01) and hMSH2 (82.36 +/- 12.86, 88.11 +/- 9.27, p<.05) positive epithelial cells significantly increased in 53 patients who became H. pylori-negative after eradication therapy. However, the intensity of hMLH1 and hMSH2 staining was not significantly different. In those 7 patients, who did not respond to the eradication therapy and were still H. pylori-positive, the percent positivity and intensity of hMLH1 and hMSH2 staining did not change. CONCLUSIONS: The expression of DNA MMR proteins increased in the gastric mucosa after H. pylori eradication, indicating that H. pylori gastritis may be associated with a reduced DNA MMR system during infection. The effect of H. pylori infection on MMR protein expression appears to be at least partially reversible after H. pylori eradication. These data suggest that H. pylori gastritis might lead to a deficiency of DNA MMR in gastric epithelium that may increase the risk of mutation accumulation in the gastric mucosa cells during chronic H. pylori infection. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Curcumin is the principal element of turmeric powder extracted from the root of Curcuma longa. Studies on curcumin have demonstrated some anti-Helicobacter pylori activity as well as immunomodulating properties. N-acetylcysteine and lactoferrin with their respective mucolytic and antibacterial activities might also be effective in H. pylori eradication therapy. AIM: To determine if a 7-day non-antibiotic therapy comprised of curcumin, lactoferrin, N-acetylcysteine, and pantoprazole was effective for eradication of H. pylori infection and reduction of gastric inflammation, assessed by serum pepsinogens and relief of symptoms. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Twenty-five consecutive H. pylori-positive patients (12 males, mean age 50 +/- 12 years, range 31-76) with functional dyspepsia were enrolled. Patients were administered for 7 days curcumin 30 mg b.i.d., bovine lactoferrin 100 mg b.i.d., N-acetylcysteine 600 mg b.i.d., and pantoprazole 20 mg b.i.d. H. pylori status and upper gastrointestinal symptoms were assessed by (13)C-urea breath test and a scale of upper gastrointestinal symptoms intensity (absent, mild, moderate, and severe), as well as a blood test for serum pepsinogens (sPGI, sPGII), gastrin-17 (G-17), and anti-H. pylori IgG (IgG-Hp) at baseline (T0) and after 2 months (T1). RESULTS: Three of 25 patients (12%) were cured of H. pylori infection. A significant decrease in the overall severity of symptoms (T0: 6, interquartile range [IQR]: 4.5-8; T1: 2, IQR: 2-3; p < or = .001), and sPGII (T0: 16 microg/L, IQR: 13-22; T1: 10 microg/L, IQR: 8-16; p < or = .001) and sPGI (T0: 82 microg/L, IQR: 67-97; T1: 74 microg/L, IQR: 62-94; p = .02) levels were observed after 2 months of the treatment. IgG and G-17 values did not significantly decrease after 2 months. CONCLUSIONS: This novel therapy was not effective for H. pylori eradication. However, despite the bacterium persistence, significant improvement of dyspeptic symptoms and reduction of serologic signs of gastric inflammation were observed after 2 months at the end of the 7-day treatment schedule. 相似文献

Eradication of Helicobacter pylori and resolution of gastritis in the gastric mucosa of IL-10-deficient mice 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Matsumoto Y Blanchard TG Drakes ML Basu M Redline RW Levine AD Czinn SJ 《Helicobacter》2005,10(5):407-415
BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori has been shown to induce pronounced gastric inflammation in the absence of interleukin-10 (IL-10) by 6 weeks post inoculation. The ability of IL-10(-/-) mice to eradicate H. pylori has not been demonstrated, possibly due to early sacrifice. Therefore, the long-term effect of enhanced gastritis on H. pylori colonization was determined in IL-10(-/-) mice. METHODS: C57BL/6 and IL-10(-/-) mice were infected with H. pylori and assessed for the degree of gastritis, bacterial load, and in vitro T-cell recall response at 4 and 16 weeks of infection. RESULTS: Infection of IL-10(-/-) mice resulted in significantly more severe gastritis than wild-type control mice and eradication of H. pylori by 4 weeks post inoculation. By 16 weeks, the level of gastritis in IL-10(-/-) was reduced to the levels observed in wild-type mice. Splenocytes from IL-10(-/-) mice were prone to produce significantly greater amounts of IFN-gamma than wild-type mice when stimulated with bacterial antigens. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that the host is capable of spontaneously eradicating H. pylori from the gastric mucosa when inflammation is elevated beyond the chronic inflammation induced in wild-type mice, and that the gastritis dissipates following bacterial eradication. Additionally, these data provide support for a model of gastrointestinal immunity in which naturally occurring IL-10-producing regulatory T cells modulate the host response to gastrointestinal bacteria. 相似文献

The studies were aimed at the assessment of the coexistence of non-ulcer dyspepsia with chronic gastritis and Campylobacter pylori infection, and of the effect of therapy with De-Nol on the course of such disease. The studies involved 50 patients with non-ulcer dyspepsia. Prior to and after the treatment with De-Nol samples of the mucosa collected from the antrum and corpus of the stomach have been examined histologically with urease test indicating C. pylori infection. Chronic gastritis of the antral mucosa membrane and/or mucosa of the corpus of the stomach has been found in 36 patients, and normal mucosa in 14 patients. Therapy with De-Nol produced statistically significant improvement. Totally histological improvement has been noted in 77.1% of patients with inflammation of the antral mucous membrane and in 64.3% of patients with inflammation of the corporeal gastric mucosa. Campylobacter pylori has been eradicated in all patients with chronic gastritis. De Nol eliminates or significantly lowers an inflammation in the antrum and/or corpus of the stomach. Its action is related to the eradication of Campylobacter pylori infection. 相似文献

A study conducted by the Japan Gast Study Group showed that eradication of Helicobacter pylori reduced the risk of gastric cancer by about one-third. However, it did not completely prevent the onset of latent gastric cancer among those at high risk (i.e., with atrophic gastritis). To prevent deaths from gastric cancer, it is necessary to eradicate H. pylori infection. We propose a program of risk stratification based on the presence of H. pylori infection with or without atrophic gastritis followed by targeted interventions. Those at no risk for gastric cancer (no H. pylori, no atrophic gastritis) need no therapy or follow-up. Those at low risk (H. pylori infected, nonatrophic gastritis) need only H. pylori eradication therapy. The smaller groups at high or very high risk need eradication and cancer surveillance. We estimated the costs and the benefits of this strategy. Gastric cancer screening by simultaneous measurement of serum pepsinogen and H. pylori antibody combined with eradication of H. pylori in all individuals at risk would initially increase national healthcare expenditure, but this would be offset by markedly reducing the cost of treating gastric cancer. The proposed strategy should prevent about 150,000 deaths from gastric cancer during the 5 years after its adoption. If the loss caused by these deaths is also taken into account, the economic effect of this strategy becomes enormous. It would probably reduce the incidence of gastric cancer by more than 80-90% within 10 years. The Japanese government should take the initiative to implement this strategy as soon as possible. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Improvement in platelet counts has been reported after eradication of Helicobacter pylori in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). We examined the levels of serum markers of gastritis and anti-CagA (cytotoxin-associated gene A) IgG antibody in patients with ITP to investigate whether these factors are associated with the platelet response after H. pylori eradication therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred and sixteen consecutive patients with ITP were assessed for H. pylori infection by (13)C-urea breath test and serum H. pylori antibody test. Patients with H. pylori infection received eradication therapy. Before and after eradication therapy, we evaluated serum levels of gastrin, pepsinogen (PG)-I, and PG-II and the anti-CagA IgG antibody titer. RESULTS: H. pylori infection was found in 67 (58%) of the 116 patients with ITP. Fifty-two infected patients received eradication therapy, which was successful in 44 patients (85%). Twenty-seven patients (62%) showed an increased platelet count and were identified as responders. The duration of ITP was shorter in responders than in nonresponders (p = .017). There was no difference of the levels of gastrin and PGs between responders and nonresponders. Before eradication therapy, the serum anti-CagA antibody titer did not differ significantly between responders and nonresponders. However, reduction in the anti-CagA antibody titer after eradication therapy was significantly greater in responders than in nonresponders (p = .013). CONCLUSIONS: H. pylori eradication therapy improves the platelet count in H. pylori-positive patients with ITP of short duration. Immune response of hosts to CagA protein of H. pylori may play a role in the pathogenesis of ITP. 相似文献

BACKGOUND: Epithelial cell proliferation activity has been reported both to be unaltered and increased in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) associated chronic gastritis. The proliferation rate decreased following H. pylori eradication, but results are controversial whether this change is dependent on the success of eradication. We compared the cell proliferation activity of H. pylori positive and negative gastric epithelial biopsies in chronic gastritis with and without intestinal metaplasia (IM) and gastric cancer by the expression of proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Tv image cytometry, and assessed the effect of H. pylori eradication on the cell proliferation rate in the gastric epithelium. METHODS: Brush smears and antral biopsies were taken from 70 patients (42 men, 28 women, mean age 58+/-15 y.o.) on routine endoscopy. Patients were divided into four groups according to the histology; normal epithelia (n = 10), chronic gastritis without IM (n = 24), chronic gastritis with IM (n = 20), and gastric carcinoma (n = 16). Thirty-three patients were H. pylori positive, and success of eradication was controlled in 24 cases. Cell proliferation was measured by immunohistochemistry using PCNA labeling index (LI) and by Tv image cytometry evaluating 12 morpho- and densitometric parameters of each nuclei and 6 additional parameters of each smear. RESULTS: PCNA LI, DNA index and S + G2 ratio were all higher in chronic gastritis than in the normal epithelium, and were further increased in carcinoma. The lower PCNA LI observed in chronic gastritis with IM corresponds to the lower S phase ratio determined by Tv image analysis. In H. pylori positive cases, the proliferation activity was 69.3+/-13.05% prior to the eradication and it decreased to 55.8+/-23.31% after the successful eradication therapy. When immunohistochemistry was compared with Tv image cytometry, PCNA LI significantly correlated with the percentage of cells in GL phase (r = -0.415) and S phase (r = 0.385), Integrated Optical Density mean (r = 0.598), density maximum (r'= 0.608), surface (r = 0.670), layers (r = 0.638), diameter minimum (r = 0.619), diameter maximum (r = 0.730) and perimeter (r = 0.501), respectively (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Epithelial cell turnover is increased in chronic gastritis with or without IM, and in gastric carcinoma. The lower PCNA LI observed in chronic gastritis with IM corresponds to the lower S phase ratio determined by Tv image analysis. Cell proliferation decreases after successful H. pylori eradication. Both methods proved to be reliable for the determination of epithelial cell proliferation. 相似文献

H. pylori drug-resistant strains and non-compliance to therapy are the major causes of H. pylori eradication failure. For some bacterial species it has been demonstrated that fatty acids have a growth inhibitory effect. Our main aim was to assess the ability of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to inhibit H. pylori growth both in vitro and in a mouse model. The effectiveness of standard therapy (ST) in combination with DHA on H. pylori eradication and recurrence prevention success was also investigated. The effects of DHA on H. pylori growth were analyzed in an in vitro dose-response study and n in vivo model. We analized the ability of H. pylori to colonize mice gastric mucosa following DHA, ST or a combination of both treatments. Our data demonstrate that DHA decreases H. pylori growth in vitro in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, DHA inhibits H. pylori gastric colonization in vivo as well as decreases mouse gastric mucosa inflammation. Addition of DHA to ST was also associated with lower H. pylori infection recurrence in the mouse model. In conclusion, DHA is an inhibitor of H. pylori growth and its ability to colonize mouse stomach. DHA treatment is also associated with a lower recurrence of H. pylori infection in combination with ST. These observations pave the way to consider DHA as an adjunct agent in H. pylori eradication treatment. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The association between Helicobacter pylori infection and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) has been reported widely. We investigated the prevalence of H. pylori infection, its virulence profile and the effectiveness of its eradication in patients with ITP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty patients with ITP, 20 with peptic ulcer (10 gastric ulcer (GU), 10 duodenal ulcer (DU)) and 20 with NUD were studied. The virulence profile of the strains was assessed by genotyping for cagA, vacA, iceA, and hpyIIIR/hrgA and by assaying for IL-8 and DNA fragmentation after incubation with AGS cells. Infected patients and two uninfected ITP patients received triple therapy and platelets were counted before and 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after eradication therapy. RESULTS: H. pylori infection was found in 17 ITP (85%), 20 ulcer (100%) and 13 NUD (65%) patients. Biopsies and strains were collected from five ITP, 20 ulcer and 13 NUD patients. The ITP patients had a pangastritis or corpus-predominant gastritis pattern. All H. pylori isolates, from ITP, ulcer and NUD patients, were cagA(+) and vacA s1/m1, and did not differ in levels of IL-8 induction or DNA fragmentation. Fifteen ITP (88%) and 17 ulcer (85%) patients had successful eradication of H. pylori. Ten of these 15 (67%) H. pylori-eradicated ITP patients had platelet recovery. There was no significant change in platelet count in the two ITP patients in whom eradication failed or in the two originally H. pylori-uninfected ITP patients, or in the treated ulcer patients. Age at onset of ITP was the main determinant of platelet recovery: 100% of patients diagnosed after the age of 60 recovered compared with only 22% of those diagnosed before 50. CONCLUSIONS: H. pylori-infected ITP patients have a corpus-predominant pattern of gastritis but the virulence profile of their strains does not differ from that of ulcer or NUD patients. Eradication of H. pylori infection is a good therapeutic option for some patients with chronic ITP, especially for those who develop ITP in older age. 相似文献

The importance of pro-inflammatory leukotriene C4 in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) associated gastritis in man is unknown. Fresh gastric biopsy specimens from 28 dyspeptic patients were obtained: 10 showed normal antral histology with no evidence of H. pylori, the remaining 18 patients exhibited histological gastritis and were H. pylori positive as assessed by histology, culture and urease test. Twelve of these 18 patients received 240 mg twice daily colloidal bismuth subcitrate for four weeks before re-endoscopy. Gastric biopsies from H. pylori positive patients were incubated under basal and Ca(2+)-ionophore mediated conditions: Radioimmunoassay analysis of the supernatant showed basal release of prostaglandin E2 and leukotriene C4 was slightly but not significantly elevated in H. pylori positive mucosa. However in H. pylori positive mucosa there was an 85% increase in leukotriene C4 synthesis when biopsies were incubated with ionophore, compared to only 13% increase in H. pylori negative mucosa (p less than 0.02). After eradication of H. pylori by colloidal bismuth subcitrate, there was a clearance of inflammatory cell infiltrate as assessed by histology and a significant reduction in ionophore-mediated leukotriene C4 formation compared with before treatment (p less than 0.02). These results suggest that H. pylori gastritis is associated with increased capacity to generate leukotriene C4, which may amplify the damaging effects of the bacteria on gastric mucosa. 相似文献

Background. The current study was designed to evaluate the effect of aging and Helicobacter pylori infection on the gastric mucosa in asymptomatic Japanese adults.
Materials and Methods. Eighty-five asymptomatic healthy adults were recruited from a health-screening center in Sapporo. All subjects underwent endoscopy and gastric biopsy, and serum was obtained for IgG antibodies to H. pylori , serum gastrin, and pepsinogen levels.
Results. The prevalence of atrophic change of the gastric mucosa assessed by pathological findings increased with age (49% in the 30- to 39-year-old group compared to 89% in those 60 years and older, p < .001). The frequency of intestinal metaplasia also increased with age (38% in the 30- to 39-year-old group compared to 82% in those 60 years and older, p < .001). In contrast, the frequency of atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia was extremely low in the H. pylori seronegative group regardless of age. Mean serum gastrin level in H. pylori -positive adults was significantly greater than in those who were H. pylori -negative (114.3 ± 11.2 compared to 65.8 ± 6.5 pg/ml, p < .03). The serum pepsinogen I-II ratio was significantly lower in those with H. pylori infection than in those without (3.1 compared to 6.6, p < .0001).
Conclusions. These results suggest that the chronological changes in the gastric mucosa in Japanese individuals are either entirely related to H. pylori infection or the process is greatly accelerated by H. pylori infection. 相似文献

The greatest challenge in Helicobacter pylori-related diseases continues to remain prevention of gastric cancer. New evidence supports the beneficial effect of H.?pylori eradication not only on prevention of gastric cancer but also on the regression of preneoplastic conditions of the gastric mucosa. Concerning early detection of gastric cancer there are still no adequate means and there is urgent need to define appropriate markers, for example, by genome-wide research approaches. Currently, the best available method is the "serologic" biopsy based on pepsinogen I and the pepsinogen I/II ratio for identification of patients with severe gastric atrophy at increased risk for gastric cancer development. The treatment of early gastric cancer by endoscopic techniques can be performed safely and efficiently, but patients need meticulous follow-up for detection of metachronous lesions. In case of advanced disease, laparoscopically assisted surgical procedures are safe and favorable compared to open surgery. Two phase III trials support the role of adjuvant systemic treatment with different regimens. Unfortunately, there is still only slow progress in the development of palliative treatment regimens or modification of the existing therapy protocols. There is accumulating evidence for a role of H.?pylori infection also in colorectal carcinogenesis. Seropositive individuals are at higher risk for the development of colorectal adenomas and consequently adenocarcinomas of this anatomical region. This phenomenon can partly be attributed to the increase of serum gastrin as response to atrophic changes of the gastric mucosa. 相似文献

Background: Gastric cancer remains one of the most common cancers worldwide. A strong association exists between Helicobacter pylori infection and the risk of developing noncardia gastric cancer. H. pylori eradication by antibiotic treatment is regarded as a primary chemoprevention strategy to reduce gastric cancer incidence.
Aim: To analyze the efficacy of H. pylori eradication in preventing gastric cancer in human and animal models, and to discuss whether biochemical, genetic, and epigenetic changes associated with H. pylori infection are reversible after curing the infection.
Results: Several intervention trials have indicated that in some patients, H. pylori eradication leads to regression and prevents the progression of precancerous lesions. The eradication therapy reduces gastric cancer incidence in patients without any precancerous lesions at the baseline and is most effective before the development of atrophic gastritis. A few recent intervention studies in Japan have demonstrated significant prophylactic effects of eradication therapy on the development of gastric cancer, suggesting the use of eradication therapy in high-risk populations as a gastric cancer reduction strategy. However, gastric cancer may still develop despite successful eradication therapy. Studies in animal models have confirmed the use of eradication therapy at an early point of infection to prevent gastric cancer development.
Conclusion: H. pylori eradication may not completely abolish the risk of gastric cancer. However, eradication therapy may be used in high-risk populations to reduce gastric cancer incidence. It can reverse many biochemical, genetic, and epigenetic changes that H. pylori infection induces in the stomach. 相似文献

Helicobacter pylori is a cause of chronic gastritis and leads to development of atrophy in some cases. There is evidence that the heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) of H. pylori is involved in induction of chronic inflammation. Seroprevalence of IgG antibodies to H. pylori HSP60 in an adult cohort from Saaremaa, Estonia (68 persons, median age 57 years), with a high prevalence of antibodies to cell surface proteins of H. pylori (92%) and a well characterized dynamics of chronic gastritis in an 18-year follow-up study, was tested using purified H. pylori HSP60 at a concentration of 1 microg ml(-1) with ELISA. The state of the gastric mucosa and the presence of H. pylori in histological sections in the samples of 1979 and 1997 were assessed in accordance with the Sydney system. Seropositivity for H. pylori HSP60 was 65%. Immunological response to H. pylori HSP60 is associated with the morphological presence of H. pylori in the antrum and corpus (P=0.01) and is strongly correlated with the grade of chronic inflammation, particularly in the antrum mucosa (r=0.34; P=0.003; OR=5.97 (95% CI 1.21-29.3)), but is not associated with development of atrophy during 18 years of follow-up, or with the activity of gastritis. This finding supports the evidence that immunological response to H. pylori HSP60 may play a role in triggering of the inflammatory process in the gastric mucosa. 相似文献

Background. Limited data are available on the prevalence of CagA and VacA Helicobacter pylori antibodies in children. The aim of this study was to investigate the antibody prevalence to the H. pylori virulence factors CagA and VacA in symptomatic and asymptomatic children with H. pylori infection and to correlate these antibodies with the severity of gastric inflammation or density of H. pylori organisms in the gastric mucosa.
Materials and Methods. Twenty-three symptomatic children and 132 asymptomatic children with positive H. pylori serology participated in this study. Anti– H. pylori IgG antibody and CagA or VacA H. pylori antibodies were measured by enzyme immunoassay (HM-CAP; sensitivity and specificity> 90%) and Western immunoblot (Helicoblot 2.0) methods, respectively. Gastric inflammation and H. pylori density were graded histologically using the revised Sydney criteria.
Results. The prevalence of CagA and VacA antibodies were 69% and 35% in symptomatic children and 54% and 52% in asymptomatic children, respectively. Multiple regression analysis showed a correlation between CagA antibody and the severity of gastritis but no correlation with other histological features, including the number of neutrophils or lymphoid follicles. Neither antibody correlated with the degree of bacterial density in the gastric mucosa.
Conclusion. CagA and VacA H. pylori antibodies are common in the pediatric population. The combined CagA/VacA antibodies correlated weakly with the degree of mucosal inflammation. 相似文献
