Background. To investigate whether Helicobacter pylori infection, but not drugs, affects gastric somatostatin, interleukin‐8 (IL‐8), histological inflammation through eradication therapy, and interactions among these parameters. Methods. Twenty‐eight H. pylori‐positive patients (21 males; mean age 47.0 years) with either gastric ulcer (GU: n = 11) or duodenal ulcer (n = 17) diagnosed endoscopically were treated with dual therapy. Eradication was defined as negative microbiologic tests and 13C‐urea breath test. Levels of antral and gastric juice somatostatin and mucosal IL‐8 were measured by radioimmunoassay and enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. Histology was assessed by the Sydney system. Results. H. pylori was eradicated in 15 patients (10 males, 6 GU) out of 28 (54%). The patients’ backgrounds did not affect the eradication of H. pylori. Successes in eradication significantly increased antral and juice somatostatin contents, and dramatically decreased IL‐8 levels and histological gastritis. In contrast, persistent H. pylori infection did not affect somatostatin and histological gastritis. An inverse correlation was present between changes in somatostatin levels and histological activity. No relationship was observed in changed values between antral somatostatin and IL‐8. Conclusions. These results indicate that eradication of H. pylori, but not the drugs used, induced an increase in somatostatin levels in the antrum and gastric juice, suggesting a close relationship between H. pylori and gastric somatostatin regulation. A close correlation between an increase in gastric somatostatin levels and the normalization of histological activity was present, suggesting that certain peptide‐immune interactions in the gastric mucosa exist in H. pylori infection. 相似文献

Effect of Helicobacter pylori infection on gastric acid secretion and meal-stimulated serum gastrin in children 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Background. Comparative studies of gastric acid secretion in children related to Helicobacter pylori infection are lacking. The purpose of this study was to compare acid secretion and meal‐stimulated gastrin in relation to H. pylori infection among pediatric patients. Materials and Methods. Thirty‐six children aged 10–17 years (17 with H. pylori infection) undergoing diagnostic endoscopy participated in the study. Diagnoses included gastritis only (n = 23), duodenal ulcer (n = 5) and normal histology (n = 8). Gastric acid output was studied using the endoscopic gastric secretion test before and 2–3 months after H. pylori eradication. Meal‐stimulated serum gastrin response was assessed before and 12 months after eradication. Results. H. pylori gastritis was typically antrum‐predominant. Acid secretion was greater in H. pylori‐positive patients with duodenal ulcer than in gastritis‐only patients or controls [mean ± standard error (SE): 6.56 ± 1.4, 3.11 ± 0.4 and 2.65 ± 0.2 mEq/10 minutes, respectively; p < .001]. Stimulated acid secretion was higher in H. pylori‐positive boys than girls (5.0 ± 0.8 vs. 2.51 ± 0.4 mEq/10 minutes, respectively; p < .05). Stimulated acid secretion pre‐ and post‐H. pylori eradication was similar (5.47 ± 0.8 vs. 4.67 ± 0.9 mEq/10 minutes, respectively; p = .21). Increased basal and meal‐stimulated gastrin release reversed following H. pylori eradication (e.g. basal from 134 to 46 pg/ml, p < .001 and peak from 544 to 133 pg/ml, p < .05). Conclusions. H. pylori infection in children is associated with a marked but reversible increase in meal‐stimulated serum gastrin release. Gastric acid hypersecretion in duodenal ulcer remains after H. pylori eradication, suggesting that the host factor plays a critical role in outcome of the infection. 相似文献

The functional status of the Helicobacter pylori sabB adhesin gene as a putative marker for disease outcome 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Background. Helicobacter pylori factors that contribute to disease outcome are largely unknown, but intimate contact with host cells mediated by outer membrane proteins is thought to play an important role. Expression of the outer membrane proteins OipA, HopZ, SabA, and SabB is regulated by phase‐variable dinucleotide repeats in the coding regions of the respective genes. We have evaluated the correlation between the expression status of these four genes and disease outcome of H. pylori infection in a Dutch patient population. Materials and Methods. H. pylori strains, isolated from 96 Dutch patients with gastritis (n = 29), duodenal ulcer (n = 28), gastric ulcer (n = 21), gastric carcinoma (n = 9), and lymphoma (n = 9), were analyzed for the ‘on/off’ expression status of the H. pylori genes oipA, hopZ, sabA, and sabB by direct DNA sequence analysis of amplified fragments. Results. The off‐status of sabB was significantly associated with duodenal ulcer (p = .036), but not with gastric ulcer. In contrast, the expression status of oipA, hopZ, and sabA did not correlate with disease outcome. Furthermore, lymphoma strains appeared to express a significantly smaller amount of putative adhesins when compared to gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer and gastric carcinoma strains (p < .02 for all groups tested). Conclusion. The off‐status of sabB was found to be associated with duodenal ulcer disease, and thus represents a putative marker for disease outcome. Assuming that SabB is involved in bacterial adhesion, this association suggests that adherent H. pylori are more prone to elimination by the host immune system. 相似文献

Background. It is known that the incidence and mortality rate of gastric cancer is high among Japanese and Chinese populations, but extremely low in Thai and Vietnamese populations. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection and the differences in the glandular atrophy and intestinal metaplasia scores in stomach specimens of Asian adult subjects of different races. Materials and Methods. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese and Japanese patients were matched by age, gender and endoscopic diagnosis, in order to compare the differences in incidence of H. pylori‐related peptic ulcer disease and the prevalence of H. pylori infection among four Asian populations (n = 700). Glandular atrophy scores and intestinal metaplasia scores were also compared among four Asian populations divided into H. pylori‐positive cases (n = 120, 109, 145, 80, respectively) and H. pylori‐negative cases (n = 55, 66, 30, 95, respectively). Results. Among peptic ulcers, gastric ulcer was more frequently seen in Japanese subjects than in the other Asian populations examined. On the other hand, duodenal ulcer was more frequently seen in other Asian populations than in Japanese subjects. The prevalence of H. pylori infection was similar in the Japanese (Tokyo) and Chinese (Beijing and Fuzhou) populations. It was higher in Thai (Chiang Mai) subjects compared with Japanese subjects. On the other hand, Vietnamese (Ho Chi Minh) subjects had significantly lower rates of H. pylori infection than Japanese subjects. The glandular atrophy and intestinal metaplasia scores in the stomach were significantly higher in the H. pylori‐positive Japanese subjects than in H. pylori‐positive subjects belonging to other Asian populations, except for the higher glandular atrophy scores in Chinese rather than Japanese subjects. On the other hand, there were no significant differences in the glandular atrophy and intestinal metaplasia scores in the angulus of the stomach among H. pylori‐negative subjects belonging to the different Asian populations examined. Conclusions. Gastric ulcer was more common among Japanese subjects, while duodenal ulcer was more common among the other Asian populations examined. Japanese subjects with H. pylori infection showed more severe atrophic and metaplastic gastritis compared with that in other Asian subjects with H. pylori infection. These results may be related to the higher incidence of gastric cancer noted in Japanese subjects and the lower incidence of the cancer seen in Thai and Vietnamese patients. 相似文献

Background. Helicobacter pylori infection leads to an increased risk of developing gastric cancer. The mechanism through which this occurs is not known. We aimed to determine the effect of H. pylori and gastritis on levels of DNA damage in gastric epithelial cells. Methods. Epithelial cells were isolated from antral biopsies from 111 patients. DNA damage was determined using single cell gel electrophoresis and the proportion of cells with damage calculated before and 6 weeks after eradication of H. pylori. Cell suspensions generated by sequential digestions of the same biopsies were assayed to determine the effect of cell position within the gastric pit on DNA damage. Results. DNA damage was significantly higher in normal gastric mucosa than in H. pylori gastritis [median (interquartile range) 65% (58.5–75.8), n = 18 and 21% (11.9–29.8), n = 65, respectively, p < .001]. Intermediate levels were found in reactive gastritis [55.5% (41.3–71.7), n = 13] and H. pylori negative chronic gastritis [50.5% (36.3–60.0), n = 15]. DNA damage rose 6 weeks after successful eradication of H. pylori[to 39.5% (26.3–51.0), p = .007] but was still lower than in normal mucosa. Chronic inflammation was the most important histological factor that determined DNA damage. DNA damage fell with increasing digestion times (r = –.92 and –.88 for normal mucosa and H. pylori gastritis, respectively). Conclusions. Lower levels of DNA damage in cells isolated from H. pylori infected gastric biopsies may be a reflection of increased cell turnover in H. pylori gastritis. The investigation of mature gastric epithelial cells for DNA damage is unlikely to elucidate the mechanisms underlying gastric carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Background. Studies on eradication therapy in developing countries have shown a success rate of 70–85%, which is suboptimal. Duration of therapy may be an important factor dictating eradication success in such regions. Aim. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of increasing the treatment period on eradication of Helicobacter pylori in duodenal ulcer disease. Methods. A randomized trial was carried out in which 64 consecutive H. pylori‐infected patients with duodenal ulcer disease were enrolled. The patients were randomized to one of the three trial arms. Therapy consisted of lansoprazole 30 mg twice a day (b.i.d.), amoxycillin 1 g b.i.d. and tinidazole 500 mg b.i.d. The treatment period was 1 week in group I, 2 weeks in group II and 3 weeks in group III. At inclusion, patients underwent endoscopy and the presence of H. pylori was documented by a positive urease test and C14 urea breath test. Four weeks after completion of eradication therapy, the patients were subjected to repeat endoscopy to assess ulcer healing and tests for H. pylori infection. Results. Sixty‐four patients (55 male and nine female; mean age 35.5 years) were enrolled in each group. The H. pylori eradication rate for group I (1 week of therapy) was 47.6%, that for group II (2 weeks of therapy) was 80%, and that for group III (3 weeks of therapy) was 91.3% (p = .003). The ulcer healing rates were 71.4, 80 and 95.6% in groups I, II and III, respectively (p = .09). Conclusion. The 3‐week regimen significantly improved the eradication rate as compared with the 1‐week regime. Increasing the duration of therapy significantly improved the chances of eradication of H. pylori in duodenal ulcer disease. 相似文献

Background: The most common complications of peptic ulcer are bleeding and perforation. In many regions, definitive acid reduction surgery has given way to simple closure and Helicobacter pylori eradication. Aim: To perform a systematic review and meta‐analysis to ask whether this change in practice is in fact justified. Materials and Methods: A search on the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, Medline, and Embase was made for controlled trials of duodenal ulcer perforation patients using simple closure method plus postoperative H. pylori eradication therapy versus simple closure plus antisecretory non‐eradication therapy. The long‐term results for prevention of ulcer recurrence were compared. Results: The pooled incidence of 1‐year ulcer recurrence in H. pylori eradication group was 5.2% [95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.7 and 9.7], which is significantly lower than that of the control group (35.2%) with 95% CI of 0.25 and 0.45. The pooled relative risk was 0.15 with 95% CI of 0.06 and 0.37. Conclusions: Helicobacter pylori eradication after simple closure of duodenal ulcer perforation gives better result than the operation plus antisecretory non‐eradication therapy for prevention of ulcer recurrence. All duodenal ulcer perforation patients should be tested for H. pylori infection, and eradication therapy is required in all infected patients. 相似文献

This study used monoclonal antibody specific for 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE)-histidine to evaluate immunohistochemical distribution of HNE–protein adducts in gastric mucosa biopsies of 52 peptic ulcer patients (all positive for H. pylori) and of 20 healthy volunteers (eight positive and 12 negative for H. pylori). HNE-modified proteins were present in glandular epithelium in all subjects, both patients with duodenal peptic ulcer and healthy subjects. Hence, the presence of HNE did not appear to be related to the presence of H. pylori. However, in patients with duodenal peptic ulcer accumulation of HNE-protein adducts was frequently observed also in nuclei, while in the control group such subcellular distribution of HNE was not observed at all. This study shows physiological presence of HNE in human gastric mucosa, but also suggests its role in pathology of gastric dysfunction in duodenal peptic ulcer patients manifested by accumulation of HNE-protein adducts in particular in nuclei of gastric glandular epithelium. 相似文献

Helicobacter pylori-induced oxidative stress in gastric mucosa (GM) is a milieu for the development of chronic gastritis, duodenal peptic ulcer (DPU), gastric cancer, and a number of extragastric diseases. Because our previous study revealed the accumulation of the protein adducts of lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) in GM, which persists after eradication of H. pylori, the aim of the study was to test whether Amaranth oil supplementation in addition to standard anti-Helicobacter treatment could prevent such accumulation of HNE in GM in H. pylori-positive DPU patients. Seventy-five patients were randomly split into two groups: group 1 – standard treatment (n?=?39) and group 2 – standard treatment with additional supplementation of 1?ml of concentrated oil from amaranth seeds (Amaranthus cruenthus L., n?=?36). Clinical analysis, including endoscopy with biopsies from antrum and corpus of the stomach were performed before and after the treatment, as was heart rate variability (HRV) recorded, as parameter of systemic, extragastric pathophysiological alterations in DPU patients. Improvement of clinical, endoscopic and histologic manifestations, and successful ulcer healing were observed in both the groups. Moreover, supplementation of amaranth oil in addition to standard anti-H. pylori treatment significantly reduced accumulation of HNE-histidine adducts in GM and increased HRV in DPU patients (p?.05). Therefore, standard treatments of DPU require additional therapeutic approaches, in accordance with integrative medicine principles, aiming to reduce persistence of oxidative stress, as was successfully done in our study by the use of amaranth oil. 相似文献

Background and aim: Gastric carcinogenesis involves CpG island hypermethylation (CIHM) of tumor‐suppressor genes. Although the CIHM of these genes occurs in non‐neoplastic gastric cells, it is unclear whether this epigenetic alteration is linked with aging and/or gastric cancer risk. We investigated this linkage in noncancerous gastric mucosa infected with H. pylori. Subjects and methods: Noncancerous corpus mucosa was endoscopically obtained from H. pylori‐positive gastric cancer patients (n = 34), and age‐matched H. pylori‐positive noncancerous controls (n = 68). Genomic DNA retrieved from the mucosa was subjected to methylation‐specific polymerase chain reaction for p16, Ecad, and DAPK genes. Linkage between CIHM and clinicopathologic factors was evaluated. Results: CIHM rates of DAPK, Ecad, and p16 promoters were significantly higher in noncancerous gastric mucosa of gastric cancer patients (91, 88, and 68%, respectively) than in noncancerous controls (71, 53, and 25%, respectively). Multivariate regression analysis showed a significant linkage between CIHM in noncancerous mucosa and coexistence of gastric cancer. Significant linkage between polymorphoneutrophil infiltration and CIHM was observed except for CIHM of p16. No linkage was observed between CIHM and other parameters, including age. High CIHM status (all three tested genes methylated) was associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer, with an odds ratio of 9.8 (95% confidence interval, 3.8–25.3). Conclusions: In a subset of the H. pylori‐infected population, CIHM of tumor‐suppressor genes in noncancerous gastric mucosa is linked with the risk of gastric cancer and polymorphoneutrophil infiltration, but not aging. CIHM is a potential marker of gastric cancer risk. 相似文献

Background. The recently reported OMNIUM and ASTRONAUT NSAID ulcer prevention trials using omeprazole to prevent endoscopic ulcer recurrence among chronic NSAID users suggested superiority over misoprostol or ranitidine. Aim. To test the hypothesis the results from the OMNIUM and ASTRONAUT studies would not be generalizible as ulcer healing and ulcer recurrence would differ in relation to Helicobacter pylori status. Methods. The data regarding H. pylori status were made available by AstraZenca allowing separate analysis of the outcome of those with NASID ulcers (i.e. without H. pylori infection) and those NSAID use was complicated with the presence of an active H. pylori infection. Results. Reanalysis confirmed that omeprazole was superior to placebo for the prevention of ulcer recurrence in chronic NSAID users. However, overall omeprazole was not significantly better than the subtherapeutic dose (400 µg/day) of misoprostol (14.5% vs. 19.6%, respectively, p = .93); 400 µg of misoprostol was actually superior to omeprazole for the prevention of gastric ulcers among those NSAID ulcers (8.2% vs. 16.6% for misoprostol and omeprazole, respectively; p < .05). Omeprazole was also not statistically different from misoprostol for gastric ulcer prevention in those whose NSAID use was complicated by an active H. pylori infection. Omeprazole was not significantly different from 300 mg of ranitidine for the prevention of NSAID gastric ulcers (14.6% vs. 11.6%, respectively, p = .56). Duodenal ulcers were over represented among H. pylori infected NSAID users and duodenal ulcer prevention was more sensitive to acid suppression than gastric ulcer. Conclusion. The OMNIUM and ASTRONAUT trials may have provided an unrealistic sense of security regarding the effectiveness of omeprazole for protection against ulcer recurrence in chronic NSAID users. 相似文献

Effect of Helicobacter pylori-induced cyclooxygenase-2 on gastric epithelial cell kinetics: implication for gastric carcinogenesis 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Background. Cyclooxygenase (COX)‐2 induced by Helicobacter pylori is thought to enhance gastric carcinogenesis by affecting the maintenance of epithelial homeostasis. Materials and Methods. Gastric biopsies from 160 subjects, 97 with nonulcer dyspepsia (47 H. pylori negative, 50 H. pylori positive) and 63 with gastric cancer were examined immunohistochemically for COX‐2 expression, cell proliferation and apoptotic indices. Results. COX‐2 expression in corpus was significantly higher in H. pylori positive than in negative non‐ulcer dyspepsia (NUD) (p < .05). Regardless of site, gastric cancer subjects had higher COX‐2 expression in both antrum and corpus compared with H. pylori negative and positive NUD (p < .005). Proliferation was higher in cancer and H. pylori positive than in negative NUD (p < .0001). Moreover, cancer had enhanced proliferation than H. pylori positive NUD in corpus greater (p = .0454) and antrum lesser (p = .0215) curvatures. Apoptosis was higher in H. pylori positive than in negative NUD (p < .05). However, both had a higher index than the cancer subjects (p < .0001). Apoptosis : proliferation ratio was higher in corpus of H. pylori negative than in positive NUD in greater (p = .0122) and lesser (p = .0009) curvatures. However, both had a higher A:P ratio than cancer cases (p = .0001). A negative correlation between COX‐2 expression and A:P ratio was found in corpus greater (r = –.176, p= .0437) and lesser (r = –.188, p= .0312) curvatures. Conclusion. The expression of COX‐2 is associated with disruption in gastric epithelial kinetics and hence may play a role in gastric carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Objective. Although curative treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection markedly reduces the relapse of peptic ulcers, the details of the ulcers that do recur is not well characterized. The aim of this study is to describe the recurrence rate and specific features of peptic ulcers after cure of H. pylori infection. Methods. This was a multicenter study involving 4940 peptic ulcer patients who were H. pylori negative after successful eradication treatment and were followed for up to 48 months. The annual incidence of ulcer relapse in H. pylori‐cured patients, background of patients with relapsed ulcers, time to relapse, ulcer size, and site of relapsed ulcers were investigated. Results. Crude peptic ulcer recurrence rate was 3.02% (149/4940). The annual recurrence rates of gastric, duodenal and gastroduodenal ulcer were 2.3%, 1.6%, and 1.6%, respectively. Exclusion of patients who took NSAIDs led annual recurrence rates to 1.9%, 1.5% and 1.3%, respectively. The recurrence rate was significantly higher in gastric ulcer. Recurrence rates of patients who smoked, consumed alcohol, and used NSAIDs were significantly higher in those with gastric ulcer recurrence compared to duodenal ulcer recurrence (e.g. 125 of 149 [83.9%] relapsed ulcers recurred at the same or adjacent sites as the previous ulcers). Conclusions. Curative treatment of H. pylori infection is useful in preventing ulcer recurrence. Gastric ulcer is more likely to relapse than duodenal ulcer. Recurrent ulcer tended to recur at the site of the original ulcers. 相似文献

Increased primary resistance to recommended antibiotics negatively affects Helicobacter pylori eradication 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Objective. To evaluate the efficacy of two commonly employed treatments for Helicobacter pylori infection and the impact of bacterial resistance to antibiotics on eradication rate. Methods. Ninety‐two consecutive H. pylori‐positive patients with active peptic ulcer disease were randomly enrolled to receive a 7‐day treatment with either lansoprazole 30 mg plus amoxicillin 1 g and clarithromycin 500 mg [all twice a day (b.i.d.), Group A, n = 46]; or bismuth subcitrate 125 mg four times a day (q.i.d.) plus tetracycline 500 mg q.i.d and furazolidone 200 mg b.i.d. (Group B, n = 46) H. pylori status was reassessed 30 days after completion of the therapy and bacterial resistance to the antibiotics was investigated using an in vitro assay. Results. Five patients from each study group were lost to follow up. Both treatments resulted in similar H. pylori eradication rate: 66–60% (per protocol), 59–52% (intention‐to‐treat) in Groups A and B, respectively (non significant). However, eradication improved to 79% in the absence of H. pylori resistance to clarithromycin or amoxicillin. Conclusion. Primary resistance to clarithromycin or amoxicillin may underscore a potentially serious problem for the eradication of H. pylori infection. Testing for bacterial resistance may become necessary to improve therapeutic efficacy. 相似文献

Aim. To compare the short‐term (7‐day) safety and efficacy of two triple‐therapy regimens using pantoprazole with those of two dual‐therapy regimens (one with pantoprazole and one without), for Helicobacter pylori eradication in patients with peptic ulcer disease. Methods. H. pylori infection was identified by rapid urease (CLOtest), and confirmed by histology and culture. Patients were enrolled into one of two randomized, double‐blind, multicenter, parallel‐group studies. In study A, patients received oral pantoprazole 40 mg, clarithromycin 500 mg, and metronidazole 500 mg (PCM); pantoprazole, clarithromycin and amoxicillin 1000 mg (PCA); or pantoprazole and clarithromycin (PC). In study B, patients received PCM, PCA, PC, or clarithromycin and metronidazole without pantoprazole (CM). Treatments were given twice daily for 7 days. H. pylori status after therapy was assessed by histology and culture at 4 weeks after completing the course of study treatment. Modified intent‐to‐treat (MITT; each study: n = 424, n = 512) and per‐protocol (PP; each study: n = 371, n = 454) populations were analyzed. The MITT population comprised all patients whose positive H. pylori status was confirmed by culture and histology; the PP population comprised patients who also complied with ≥ 85% of study medication doses. Results. A total of 1016 patients were enrolled. Cure rates among patients with clarithromycin‐susceptible H. pylori strains were 82 and 86% for PCM, and 72 and 71% for PCA, in studies A and B, respectively. Cure rates among patients with metronidazole‐susceptible H. pylori strains were 82 and 87% for PCM, and 71 and 69% for PCA, in studies A and B, respectively. The combined eradication rates observed with the PCM regimen were superior to those of all other regimens tested. Side‐effects were infrequent and mild. Conclusions. PCM had the highest overall eradication rate in these two studies examining 7‐day treatment regimens. All regimens were safe and well tolerated. 相似文献

Background and Aim: We aimed to evaluate the changes in histopathologic features, concentrations of vitamins C and E in gastric mucosa, and total antioxidant capacity of the body after ingestion of ascorbic acid and alpha tocopherol in patients with Helicobacter pylori. Material and Method: Patients with H. pylori‐positive nonulcer dyspepsia were included in this study. Tissue samples were taken from the lesser and greater curvature in both prepyloric antrum and corpus for histopathologic examination and measurement of vitamins C and E concentrations. Blood samples were obtained for measurement of the total antioxidant capacity of the body. The patients were given vitamin C 500 mg BID and vitamin E 200 IU BID for 4 weeks orally. At the end of the 4th week, the initial procedures were repeated. Histopathologic examination of the tissue samples were carried out by two pathologists. Results: The mean vitamins C and E concentrations in gastric mucosa at the 4th week were higher than those at the beginning (p = .000 and p = .006, respectively). Mean total antioxidant capacity of the body at the beginning and that at the 4th week were similar (p = .689). H. pylori intensity in the antrum at the beginning was higher than that at the 4th week for both pathologists (p = .007 and p = .039). Neutrophilic activity in the antrum at the beginning was higher than that at the 4th week for both pathologists (p = .000 and p = .025). Neutrophilic activity in the corpus at the beginning was higher than that at the 4th week for pathologist 1 (p = .033), and they were similar for pathologist 2 (p = .763). Conclusion: The findings that H. pylori intensity and neutrophilic activity decrease through increasing gastric ascorbic acid and alpha tocopherol concentrations suggest that supplementation with vitamins C and E increases the eradication rates via impairing the microenvironment created by the bacteria and facilitating the diffusion of antibiotics into gastric mucosa. 相似文献

Background. Helicobacter pylori is the main cause of gastritis and a primary carcinogen. The aim of this study was to assess oxidative damage in mucosal compartments of gastric mucosa in H. pylori positive and negative atrophic and nonatrophic gastritis. Materials and methods. Five groups of 10 patients each were identified according to H. pylori positive or negative chronic atrophic (Hp‐CAG and CAG, respectively) and nonatrophic gastritis (Hp‐CG and CG, respectively), and H. pylori negative normal mucosa (controls). Oxidative damage was evaluated by nitrotyrosine immunohistochemistry in the whole mucosa and in each compartment at baseline and at 2 and 12 months after eradication. Types of intestinal metaplasia were classified by histochemistry. Results. Total nitrotyrosine levels appeared significantly higher in H. pylori positive than in negative patients, and in Hp‐CAG than in Hp‐CG (p < .001); no differences were found between H. pylori negative gastritis and normal mucosa. Nitrotyrosine were found in foveolae and intestinal metaplasia only in Hp‐CAG. At 12 months after H. pylori eradication, total nitrotyrosine levels showed a trend toward a decrease in Hp‐CG and decreased significantly in Hp‐CAG (p = .002), disappearing from the foveolae (p = .002), but remaining unchanged in intestinal metaplasia. Type I and II of intestinal metaplasia were present with the same prevalence in Hp‐CAG and CAG, and did not change after H. pylori eradication. Conclusions. Oxidative damage of the gastric mucosa increases from Hp‐CG to Hp‐CAG, involving the foveolae and intestinal metaplasia. H. pylori eradication induces a complete healing of foveolae but not of intestinal metaplasia, reducing the overall oxidative damage in the mucosa. 相似文献

Background: Eradicating Helicobacter pylori markedly reduces ulcer recurrence in patients with peptic ulcer disease (PUD). Many decision analysis studies have concluded that eradicating H. pylori in PUD patients is more cost‐effective than maintaining antisecretory therapy. In 1995, we introduced an H. pylori eradication program into a large transportation company that experienced increased incidences of PUD among its employees along with increased medical costs, and we performed trend analysis of the actual medical costs of PUD in this cohort. Methods: In this cohort, there were approximately 8500 employees. H. pylori‐positive PUD patients were identified at the annual health check up. The patients received eradication therapy with lansoprazole, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin. After eradication, the patients were followed up by a yearly health check up. The annual number of patients who received eradication was recorded, and the annual direct medical costs of PUD therapy were analyzed. Results: A total of 440 H. pylori‐positive PUD patients received eradication therapy in a 7‐year period. Based on an intention‐to‐treat analysis, the eradication rate was 84.5% (372 of 440). The largest number of patients who received eradication therapy was found in 1995 (n = 115), and from 1995 to 2001 this number decreased yearly by 12.5 (95% confidence interval (CI): 5 to 20). Between 1989 and 1995, the annual medical costs arising of PUD therapy increased by ¥2.25 million (95% CI: 1.19 to 3.31) per year, being highest (¥22.75 million) in 1995. Between 1995 and 2001, the costs decreased by ¥3.88 million (95% CI: 3.16 to 4.59) per year. The cost in 2001 was 5.7% of the cost in 1995. The eradication program was terminated in 2001 because the prevalence of PUD diminished markedly, and the associated medical costs decreased as well. Conclusions: H. pylori eradication could reduce the number of PUD patients and associated medical costs in the workplace setting. 相似文献
