Risk factors of gastric precancerous lesions in a high-risk Colombian population. II. Nitrate and nitrite

Gastric nitrite content was studied in relation to precancerous lesions of the stomach in a case-control study conducted in a high-risk Colombian population. The proportion of detectable nitrite in gastric juice and the mean pH were significantly higher among those with precancerous lesions (chronic atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, and dysplasia) than among the controls (normal and superficial gastritis); the proportion and mean pH increased with the progression of histological changes from normal to dysplasia. Nitrite was not detectable in gastric juice with a pH less than 5.0. A positive association was found between the proportion of detectable nitrite and the risk of gastric precancerous lesions. Odds ratios of 4.39 for intestinal metaplasia and 24.72 for dysplasia remained significant after controlling for confounders. This finding suggests that nitrite may be a precursor of a mutagen that targets gastric epithelial cells.     

Blood type and family cancer history in relation to precancerous gastric lesions

BACKGROUND: The increased odds of stomach cancer among subjects with blood type A have been reported in epidemiological studies. AIM: To study the relation of family history of gastric cancer and ABO blood type with precancerous gastric lesions in a high-risk area for stomach cancer. Subjects and setting We examined 3400 adults aged 35-64 in a population-based gastric endoscopic screening in a county in China with one of the highest rates of stomach cancer in the world. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, data on family cancer history, ABO blood type and other characteristics of the participants were obtained by interview and blood test. Responses were compared between those with the most advanced gastric lesions, dysplasia (DYS) or intestinal metaplasia (IM), versus those with chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) or superficial gastritis (SG). RESULTS: The prevalence odds ratio (OR) for blood type A relative to other types was 1.39 (95% CI : 1.12-1.73) for DYS and 1.28 (95% CI : 1.06-1.53) for IM. The OR associated with parental history of stomach cancer was 1.88 (95% CI : 1.20-2.95) for DYS, but the numbers were too small to evaluate aggregation among siblings. The combined OR associated with blood type A and a parental of history of gastric cancer was 2.61 (95% CI : 1.59-4.30) for DYS and 1.46 (95% CI : 0.93-2.31) for IM. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that genetic factors play a role in developing precancerous gastric lesions.     

鸟氨酸脱羧酶对早期胃癌的诊断意义

目的探讨鸟氨酸脱羧酶(ODC)在不同胃疾病中的动态表达情况并对其在胃癌前疾病及胃癌诊断中的价值作出评价。方法采用免疫组织化学染色检测134例胃黏膜标本中ODC的表达情况,其中浅表性胃炎32例,萎缩性胃炎(伴肠化生)28例,异型增生26例,胃癌48例。结果ODC抗原在浅表性胃炎、萎缩性胃炎、异型增生和胃癌胃黏膜中阳性表达分别为34.4%、42.9%、65.4%和91.7%,从浅表性胃炎到萎缩性胃炎或异型增生再到胃癌,ODC阳性表达率依次逐渐升高,差异有统计学意义(P0.01)。结论ODC表达与胃黏膜细胞恶性程度呈正相关,与胃疾病的发生发展有良好的相关性,对于癌前疾病的诊断,对胃癌筛查、早期诊断具有一定的参考价值。     

Helicobacter pylori infection, garlic intake and precancerous lesions in a Chinese population at low risk of gastric cancer

BACKGROUND: Cangshan County of Shandong Province has one of the lowest rates of gastric cancer (GC) in China. While intestinal metaplasia (IM) and dysplasia (DYS) are less common in Cangshan than in areas of Shandong at high risk of GC, these precursor lesions nevertheless affect about 20% of adults age > or = 55. SUBJECTS AND SETTING: In order to evaluate determinants of IM and DYS in Cangshan County, a low risk area of GC a survey was conducted among 214 adults who participated in a gastroscopic screening survey in Cangshan County in 1994. METHOD: A dietary interview and measurement of serum Helicobacter pylori antibodies were performed. RESULTS: The prevalence of H. pylori was lowest (19%) among those with normal gastric mucosa, rising steadily to 35% for superficial gastritis (SG), 56% for chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), 80% for IM, and 100% for DYS. The prevalence odds of precancerous lesions were compared with the odds of normal histology or SG. The odds ratio (OR) or CAG associated with H. pylori positivity was 4.2 (95% confidence interval [CI] : 1.7-10.0), while the OR of IM/DYS associated with H. pylori positivity was 31.5 (95% CI: 5.2-187). After adjusting for H. pylori infection, drinking alcohol was a risk factor for CAG (OR = 3.2, 95% CI: 1.1-9.2) and IM/DYS (OR = 7.8, 95% CI: 1.3-47.7). On the other hand, consumption of garlic showed non-significant protective effects and an inverse association with H. pylori infection. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study suggest that infection with H. pylori is a risk factor and garlic may be protective, in the development and progression of advanced precancerous gastric lesions in an area of China at relatively low risk of GC.

Association of dietary antioxidants on the severity of gastritis in a high risk population

PURPOSE: This study is to examine the role of dietary antioxidant intake on the severity of gastritis at the baseline in an intervention study, Chemoprevention of Gastric Dysplasia.METHODS: The Chemoprevention of Gastric Dysplasia is an intervention study conducted in the towns of Pasto and Tuquerres, Colombia. A 79-item food frequency questionnaire was administered to 1,219 subjects at baseline. Endoscopic screening for precancerous gastric lesions was performed in all subjects by biopsy and histologic diagnosis. Subjects without adequate diagnostic material (n = 18) and subjects identified as histologically normal (n = 12) or with gastric cancer (n = 4) were excluded from these analyses. Analysis of Variance on logarithm-transformed data was conducted on dietary antioxidants and the stages of gastritis (atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, and gastric dysplasia).RESULTS: After adjusting for age, body mass index, smoking status, year of education, total calorie intake, and H-pylori infection status, dietary vitamin C and vitamin E were found to be inversely associated with the severity of gastritis (p < 0.05). Decreased dietary alpha-carotene was found to be marginally associated with gastric dysplasia. Data were then stratified by town where subjects were recruited. The trends for the observed associations were apparent for dietary alpha-carotene, vitamin C and E. However, the association was significant only for vitamin C in Pasto. Compared to subjects with atrophic gastritis, subjects diagnosed with gastric dysplasia have an approximately 15% lower intake of vitamin C.CONCLUSIONS: This study confirmed the protective effect of specific dietary antioxidants on the severity of gastritis. Dietary vitamin C, and to a lesser extent, dietary vitamin E are potentially important for the prevention of gastric cancer.     

胃癌及癌前病变c-erbB-2、p53和ki-67表达及意义

目的探讨C-erbB-2、p53和ki-67基因蛋白在胃癌及癌前病变中的表达和意义。方法采用免疫组织化学染色对96例胃癌组织标本、10例正常胃粘膜、22例萎缩性胃炎、6例慢性胃溃疡伴肠上皮化生标本进行基因蛋白表达。结果自萎缩性胃炎、肠上皮化生、胃粘膜异型增生到不同病理类型的胃癌，C-erbB-2、p53和ki-67基因表达不同。在整个胃癌的演变过程中，基因表达是逐渐增强的。在不同阶段，基因表达高低也不一样，C-erbB-2在异型增生和胃癌表达最强，高于萎缩性胃炎和肠上皮化生，两者之间有显著性差异（P〈0．05）。p53在低分化腺癌和高分化腺癌表达率分别是69．2％和32．3％，有显著差异（P〈0．05）。ki-67在整个胃癌演变过程中的表达是逐渐增强的，而且在未分化癌中的表达高于C-erbB-2和p53。结论癌前病变和不同病理类型的胃癌C-erbB-2、p53和ki-67基因蛋白表达不同。说明胃癌的发生发展是多基因、多分子水平变化的多个阶段进行性过程。多项基因蛋白检测对胃癌的早期诊断及预后的判断更有意义。

目的 探讨胃黏膜肠上皮化生组织中CDX2表达的临床意义及其与幽门螺杆菌(Hp)感染的关系.方法 采用免疫组织化学技术检测93例(其中正常胃黏膜7例,浅表性胃炎21例,萎缩性胃炎22例,萎缩性胃炎伴肠上皮化生43例)胃黏膜组织CDX2表达情况;使用14C尿素呼气试验检测Hp感染情况.结果 7例正常胃黏膜患者Hp检测阴性,Hp感染在萎缩性胃炎和萎缩性胃炎伴肠上皮化生中阳性率分别为77.27％(17/22)、65.12％( 28/43),显著高于浅表性胃炎的19.05％(4/21)(P＜0.0l).CDX2在正常胃黏膜及浅表性胃炎中无表达,在萎缩性胃炎伴肠上皮化生中阳性率83.72％( 36/43),显著高于萎缩性胃炎的40.91％(9/22)(P＜ 0.01).结论 Hp感染、CDX2表达与胃黏膜肠上皮化生有关,CDX2异常表达可能是启动胃黏膜上皮发生肠化的始动因素,检测胃黏膜组织中CDX2表达可以帮助临床识别胃黏膜肠上皮化生组织,预测胃癌前病变的进展,为临床选择治疗方案提供依据.     

Helicobacter pylori-associated chronic atrophic gastritis involving the gastric body and severe disease by Vibrio cholerae

Evidence has associated chronic infection by Helicobacter pylori with chronic gastritis, low gastric acid production and an increased risk of life-threatening cholera. However, the relationship of specific patterns of histological damage in the gastric mucosa associated with H. pylori infection and the occurrence of cholera has not been described. The purpose of this study was to compare the gastric pH and histopathological findings in gastric biopsies taken from patients with severe diarrhoeal disease due to Vibrio cholerae with those taken from a control (cholera-negative) population. Thirty-five H. pylori-positive patients who had severe dehydration from culture-confirmed cholera (cases) and 40 patients with H. pylori but with no history of cholera (controls) were recruited. Gastric pH was measured and multiple biopsies were taken from the gastric antrum and body for histopathological examination. The results revealed that patients with severe cholera had a significantly higher prevalence of hypochlorhydria at endoscopy compared with controls. Furthermore, cases had significantly more chronic atrophic gastritis (45.7% vs. 12.5%; P=0.002) and intestinal metaplasia (37.1% vs. 2.5%; P<0.01) in the gastric body than controls. Our findings suggest that the nature and location of these gastric lesions may predispose a subset of H. pylori-infected individuals to severe disease by V. cholerae.
