Peculiarities of relationship between atrophic gastritis and stomach cancer in the population of Eastern Siberia

The authors studied the prevalence of atrophic gastritis, H.pylori strains carrying the CagA gene, seeding and apoptosis indices of gastric mucosa in indigenous and newcomer residents of Evenkia. A total of 136 Evenks and 159 newcomers were examined using fibrogastroscopy and biopsy of antral gastric mucosa. Morphological study included light microscopy of hematoxylin and eosin-stained biopsies and their analysis using a visual-analog scale to reveal signs of inflammation, apoptosis, intestinal metaplasia and the degree of insemination by P. pylori. Urease and morphological tests were used to identify H. pylori and the TUNEL technique (Mebstain Apoptosis kit direct, France) to determine apoptosis index; serum anti-Helicobacter and CagA antibodies were detected by an immunoenzyme assay in 22 Evenks and 24 newcomers with chronic H. pylori-associated gastritis. The prevalence of atrophic gastritis in these groups was estimated at 13.2 and 23.9% respectively, seeding density 45.37 +/- 2.01 and 214 +/- 8.75 (p < 0.001). H. pylori strains carrying the CagA gene were identified in 59.6 and 43.6% of the newcomers and Evenks (p = 0.01), total apoptosis index in greater curvature mucosa was 4.99 +/- 0.23 and 3.19 +/- 0.28 (p < 0.01) respectively. These ethnic difference in the prevalence of atrophic gastritis appear to be attributable to different intensity of apoptosis in greater curvature mucosa.

Quantitative determination of gland mucous cells-type mucin using a monoclonal antibody, HIK1083: its pathophysiological changes in human gastric juice

BACKGROUND: Pathological alteration in gastric mucosa is caused by Helicobacter pylori infection and is detectable by histological analysis. In particular, the alteration of gland mucous cells (GMCs)-type mucin, which plays a protective role against H. pylori infection, is critical in the pathogenesis of H. pylori-related gastritis. We established an assay for GMCs-type mucin and quantitatively assessed the pathophysiological changes in its content in human gastric juice samples. METHODS: The assay method for GMCs-type mucin was based on ELISA using a monoclonal antibody (HIK1083), and was used it to measure GMCs-type mucin in gastric juice obtained from patients with or without H. pylori infection. RESULTS: All the basic characteristics of the current method were satisfactory to quantify the GMCs-type mucin content in gastric juice. The GMCs-type mucin content, but not total mucin content, was significantly higher in patients with H. pylori infection (n=17; 437+/-476 U, mean+/-SD) than in those without H. pylori infection (n=55; 168+/-322 U, p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The current method is suitable for the quantitative analysis of GMCs-type mucin in gastric juice. The change in GMCs-type mucin content in gastric juice may be possibly implicated in the pathophysiology of the gastric mucosa and in the patient's gastric mucosal lesions.     

Association of CagA-positive infection with Helicobacter pylori antibodies of IgA class

cagA gene, the best known virulence factor of Helicobacter pylori, codes for an immunodominant CagA protein. In this study, CagA antibodies of the IgG class were measured by immunoblot or enzyme immunoassay in subjects with positive H. pylori serology, and the presence of CagA antibodies was compared with that of H. pylori antibodies of IgA and IgG classes. Serum samples were available for a total of 1,481 subjects, including gastroscopied patients with biopsy-verified H. pylori infection, smoking men with a normal or low serum pepsinogen I level indicating atrophic corpus gastritis, and subjects who later developed gastric cancer and their matched controls. CagA antibodies were significantly more prevalent among individuals with elevated H. pylori antibody titres of the IgA class than in those with IgG antibodies only, with the exception of a small subgroup of individuals who later developed gastric cancer. CagA-positive H. pylori strains seem to induce an immune response with a markedly higher frequency of IgA than what is found in inflammation caused by CagA-negative strains. The presence of serum IgA antibodies to H. pylori seems to indicate a higher risk for CagA-positive H. pylori infection and possibly more severe late sequelae of the disease.     

Astaxanthin-rich algal meal and vitamin C inhibit Helicobacter pylori infection in BALB/cA mice

Helicobacter pylori infection in humans is associated with chronic type B gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric carcinoma. A high intake of carotenoids and vitamin C has been proposed to prevent development of gastric malignancies. The aim of this study was to explore if the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis rich in the carotenoid astaxanthin and vitamin C can inhibit experimental H. pylori infection in a BALB/cA mouse model. Six-week-old BALB/cA mice were infected with the mouse-passaged H. pylori strain 119/95. At 2 weeks postinoculation mice were treated orally once daily for 10 days (i) with different doses of algal meal rich in astaxanthin (0.4, 2, and 4 g/kg of body weight, with the astaxanthin content at 10, 50, and 100 mg/kg, respectively), (ii) with a control meal (algal meal without astaxanthin, 4 g/kg), or (iii) with vitamin C (400 mg/kg). Five mice from each group were sacrificed 1 day after the cessation of treatment, and the other five animals were sacrificed 10 days after the cessation of treatment. Culture of H. pylori and determination of the inflammation score of the gastric mucosae were used to determine the outcome of the treatment. Mice treated with astaxanthin-rich algal meal or vitamin C showed significantly lower colonization levels and lower inflammation scores than those of untreated or control-meal-treated animals at 1 day and 10 days after the cessation of treatment. Lipid peroxidation was significantly decreased in mice treated with the astaxanthin-rich algal meal and vitamin C compared with that of animals not treated or treated with the control meal. Both astaxanthin-rich algal meal and vitamin C showed an inhibitory effect on H. pylori growth in vitro. In conclusion, antioxidants may be a new strategy for treating H. pylori infection in humans.     

Peculiarities of relationship between atrophic gastritis and stomach cancer in the population of East Siberia

The authors studied the relationship between atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer in Europeoid and Mongoloid populations of East Siberia. Screening for atrophic gastritis was carried out in parallel in Evenkia, Khakassia, and Tyva. 1492 Europeoids, 533 Khakasses, 493 Evenks, and 414 Tuvinians were examined by oesogastroduodenoscopy with simultaneous biopsy sampling. Morphological studies of gastric mucosa were performed by light microscopy of hematoxylin/eosin stained samples with evaluation of results based on the visual analogous scale. H.pylori was identified in Giemsa stain preparations. Immunoenzyme assay was used to detect IgG and IgG of H.pylori CagA. Gastric cancer morbidity was estimated using materials of local oncological dispensaries and autopsy data. The prevalence of antral atrophic gastritis was 25.8% in Europeoids, 15.2% in Khakasses, 14% in Evenks, and 25.8% in Tuvinians. The incidence of gastric cancer was 33.2 in Europeoids, 20.2 in Khakasses, and 50.7in Tuvinians per 100,000. The occurrence of H.pylori was similar in all these populations (roughly 90%). CagA strains were identified in 61.2% Europeoids, in 44% Khakasses, in 36.44% Evenks, and in 60% Tuvinians. The study revealed ethnic differences in the association between gastritis cancer and H.pylori CagA-related gastritis among populations of different regions of East Siberia.     

Helicobacter pylori associated antral gastritis in peptic ulcer disease patients and normal healthy population of kashmir, India

Aim: To study the association of Helicobacter pylori infection with chronic antral gastritis in peptic ulcer disease patients and healthy population of Kashmir.Methods: 50 peptic ulcer patients (duodenal ulcer = 46, gastric ulcer = 2 and combined duodenal and gastric ulcer = 2) and 30 asymptomatic healthy volunteers were included in this study. Peptic ulcer was diagnosed on endoscopic examination. 4-6 punch biopsies were taken from gastric antrum in all the individuals and in case of gastric ulcer an additional biopsy was taken from the edge of the ulcer to exclude its malignant nature. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) organism was diagnosed using three different test methods, viz. Histology (using Giemsa Stain), Microbiology (Gram Stain) and Biochemistry (using one minute Endoscopy Room Test). Histological diagnosis of H. pylori was taken as the "gold standard" for the presence of H. pylori organism. Histological diagnosis of gastritis was made using Hematoxylin and Eosin Stain and the gastritis was classified as active chronic gastritis and superficial chronic gastritis.Results: Out of 30 peptic ulcer disease patients with associated antral gastritis, 27 (90%) were positive for H. pylori on histological examination (13 superficial chronic gastritis and 14 active chronic gastritis) whereas out of 8 healthy volunteers with histological evidence of chronic antral gastritis, H. pylori was observed in 7 individuals (87.50%) (4 active chronic gastritis and 3 superficial chronic gastritis).Conclusion: A highly significant association between H. pylori infection with chronic antral gastritis both in peptic ulcer disease patients and healthy volunteers of Kashmir was found in this study. Association between H. pylori infection and chronic gastritis was 90% in peptic ulcer group and 87.50% in healthy population (P<0.005).     

Real-time detection of Helicobacter Pylori infection and atrophic gastritis: comparison between conventional methods and a novel device for gastric juice analysis during endoscopy

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Gastric juice may represent a valuable source of clinicopathological information if properly analyzed. We evaluated the reliability and clinical validity of data obtained using an innovative device (the "Mt 21-42") that analyzes gastric juice, thus allowing the identification of Helicobacter pylori infection and atrophic gastritis of the oxyntic mucosa during endoscopy. METHODS: Validation studies were carried out to evaluate the measuring performance of the device. In addition, the H. pylori status and the presence of atrophic gastritis were assessed in 150 patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. In all these patients the Mt 21-42 device was used to assist endoscopy. Conventional tests (involving histology, urease testing, urea breath testing, anti- H. pylori IgG, serum gastrin, pepsinogen, intrinsic factor and parietal cells autoantibodies, vitamin B12, and folate) were also performed for comparison with the Mt 21-42 results. RESULTS: The measuring performance of the Mt 21-42 was good; for pH, the relative percent error and the coefficient of variation were 1.9 % +/- 4.2 and 1.3 %, respectively, and for ammonium they were 0.1 % +/- 0.2 % and 2.1 %. For the detection of H. pylori infection, the sensitivity and specificity of the device (96.7 % and 94.3 %) were similar to those of the urea breath test (90.5 % and 93.3 %) and serology (87.1 % and 88.8 %), and higher than those of the urease test (78.6 % and 98.7 %; P < 0.01) and routine histology (94.3 % and 76.3 %; P < 0.05). When compared with the currently available standard methods, use of the Mt 21-42 was found to be the most sensitive technique for the detection of atrophy (94.7 % vs. 5.3 % - 47.4 %; P < 0.001); the device failed to detect the disease in only one case (5 %), whereas failure rates of 53 % - 95 % were reported with the conventional methods. CONCLUSION: Atrophic gastritis of the oxyntic mucosa is a risky condition that often goes undetected in current clinical practice. The Mt 21-42 is an effective, useful, and desirable tool that may help to overcome this diagnostic limitation; it produces time and cost savings and also allows the detection of H. pylori infection.     

Adherence of Helicobacter pylori to gastric epithelial cells and mucosal inflammation

Adherence of Helicobacter pylori to the gastric epithelium is believed to be an important step in the induction of active inflammation of the mucosal layer. However, structural evidence showing a quantitative relationship between the adherence of H. pylori and severity of gastric mucosal inflammation is lacking. We therefore investigated the correlations between severity of gastritis and adherence of morphologically different forms of H. pylori. Fifty-seven biopsy specimens from the gastric bodies of patients with H. pylori-induced gastritis were examined. The severity of gastritis and the adherence and structure of H. pylori were determined with the use of light and scanning electron microscopy. We also investigated the ability of H. pylori organisms with different structural features to induce interleukin-8 secretion by human gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS) cells in vitro because production of interleukin-8 is related to H. pylori-associated gastritis. Furthermore, serum pepsinogen concentrations and cytotoxin-associated protein status in relation to adherence of H. pylori to the epithelial surface were examined. The results indicated that H. pylori organisms, which adhered firmly to the epithelial surface, were consistently long, tightly coiled bacilli. Histologically, those gastric mucosa samples with H. pylori firmly attached showed severe gastritis. H. pylori bacilli of greater length induced higher levels of interleukin-8 secretion. The serum pepsinogen I/II ratio showed a significant negative correlation with the grade of H. pylori adhesion (r = -0.401, P <.01). We also noted a significant correlation between cytotoxin-associated protein status and the adherence of H. pylori (r = 0.344, P <.05). A quantitative correlation was found between adherence of H. pylori and gastric inflammation. Both adherence and the induction of inflammation were found to be related to the structure of H. pylori.

Abstract：

Objective To detect the distribution of H.pylori ureA, vacA s1 gene and cagA subtype(ABC, ABD, ABAB, AAD, et al) in patients with digestive diseases in Guangzhou and investigate the relationship with the pathological findings of gastric mucosa.Methods A total of 227 randomly selected gastric mucosa from patients with digestive diseases were enrolled in the research, including 46 without pathological changes, 130 with chronic gastritis, 29 with peptic ulcer, 15 with atrophic gastritis and 7 with gastric cancer.Real-time PCR assay were used to detect Helicobacter pylori ureA gene and vacA s1 gene.EPIYA motifs in the 3′ region of cagA were amplified by conventional PCR followed by subtype sequencing. The conserved gene ureA was used to detect H.pylori infection.Results Among the 227 patients with digestive diseases, 50.7% (115/227) patients were H.pylori positive, in which 91.3%(105/115) carried vacA s1 and 78.3% (90/115) carried cagA. Four types of cagA-EPIYA subtype were detected, including ABC 17.8%(16/90), ABD 78.9%(71/90), AAD 2.2%(2/90) and ABAB 1.1%(1/90).In the non-pathological change group, 32.6% (15/46) were H.pylori positive, in which 28.3% (13/46) carried vacA s1 and 26.1% (12/46) carried cagA;in chronic gastritis group, it was 48.5% (63/130), 43.8% (57/130) and 36.2% (47/130), respectively;in ulcer group, it was 72.4% (21/29), 65.5% (19/29) and 55.2% (16/29), respectively;in atrophic gastritis group, it was 66.7% (10/15), 66.7% (10/15) and 66.7% (10/15), respectively;in gastric cancer group, it was 85.7% (6/7), 85.7% (6/7) and 71.4% (5/7), respectively.The distribution of H.pylori among the 4 groups had statistical significance (χ2=16.72;P<0.01). H.pylori was more prevalent in ulcer, atrophic gastritis and cancer group than in inflammation group and non-pathological change group (χ2=16.02;P<0.01).In patients infected by H.pylori, there was no significant difference in the distribution of vacA s1 gene as high virulence factors among non-pathological change, inflammation, ulcer, atrophic gastritis and cancer group (χ2=2.00;P=0.74), as well as cagA (χ2=3.44;P=0.49) and EPIYA subtypes (χ2=3.66;P=0.45).Conclusions H.pylori infection is significantly associated with the pathological change of gastric mucosa for patients with digestive diseases in Guangzhou, while the relationship with the pathogenicity of H.pylori with high virulence genotype is not significant.More samples and diseases reclassification are needed to make an advanced analysis of the effect of H.pylori with high virulence in gastrointestinal diseases development.

Impact of CagA status on serum gastrin and pepsinogen I and II concentrations in Japanese children with Helicobacter pylori infection

The study aimed to determine the association between cytotoxin-associated gene product (CagA), serum gastrin and pepsinogen levels in Japanese children infected with Helicobacter pylori. Three hundred children were enrolled in the study. H. pylori infection was assessed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and CagA status was assessed using immunoblotting. Serum gastrin and pepsinogen concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay. H. pylori seroprevalence was 12.3% (37/300) and CagA status was identified in 28/37 H. pylori-seropositive children (75.7%). Serum pepsinogen I and II levels were significantly higher in CagA-seropositive than CagA-seronegative children with H. pylori infection. There was no significant relationship between CagA seropositivity and serum gastrin levels. In conclusion, CagA status has a significant impact on serum pepsinogen levels, possibly through enhanced gastric mucosal inflammation.

目的研究长春地区人群血清抗幽门螺杆菌(Helicobacter pylori,Hp)IgG抗体、胃蛋白酶原水平和胃癌发病的相关性,为胃癌的防治研究提供依据和流行病学资料。方法选择2008年10月至2011年2月吉林大学第一医院明确诊断的450例原发性胃癌患者作为病例组,选择同时期体检中心1072例健康体检者作为对照组。采用酶联免疫吸附(ELISA)法检测血清中Hp IgG抗体、胃蛋白酶原Ⅰ(PGI)和Ⅱ(PGII)的水平,确定Hp菌感染和萎缩性胃炎的发生状况。以PGI≤82.3μg/L,同时PGI/PGII≤6.05作为萎缩性胃炎的诊断标准。结果胃癌组与对照组相比,Hp感染阳性率明显增高(69.1%vs.52.4%,χ2=36.1,P<0.001)。胃癌组中血清PGI水平与对照组比较无显著差异(93.2vs.88.9μg/L,P<0.001),而PGII浓度显著升高(15.9vs.11.3μg/L,P<0.001),同时PGI/PGII比值明显降低(5.4vs.7.8,P<0.001)。胃癌组中患萎缩性胃炎的比例明显高于对照组(31.4%vs.10.4%,P<0.001)。多因素回归分析显示:在调整年龄和性别因素后,Hp感染和萎缩性胃炎均为胃癌发病的独立危险因素。结论本研究对象人群中Hp感染率,尤其是青年胃癌患者中Hp感染率仍然较高,Hp感染和萎缩性胃炎是胃癌发病的危险因素。与PGI相比,血清PGII浓度和PGI/PGII比值可能成为胃癌筛选的潜在血清学标志物。     

长春地区慢性胃病患者幽门螺杆菌感染状况调查

目的通过对本地区慢性胃病患者幽门螺杆菌（H.pylori）感染状况调查,了解本地区流行病学特点,为进一步阐明其与慢性胃病发生发展的关系提供理论依据。方法采用ELISA方法测定血清H.pyloriIgG抗体及CagA抗体;采取胃粘膜活检组织进行快速尿素酶试验,调查H.pylori感染情况,分析其与各种疾病的关系。结果1180例慢性胃病患者H.pylori感染率为67.11%,复合性溃疡、十二指肠溃疡、胃溃疡及慢性萎缩性胃炎感染率分别为90.9%、84.57%、83.96%和80.24%。与慢性浅表性胃炎相比差异有显著性。消化性溃疡、慢性萎缩性胃炎、胃癌和胃息肉患者血清Hp-CagA抗体的阳性率明显高于慢性浅表性胃炎（P〈0.05）。结论本地区慢性胃病患者H.pylori感染率高与多数地区的普通人群,H.pylori感染者尤其是CagA阳性者,更易发生慢性萎缩性胃炎、消化性溃疡及胃癌。
