Changes in serum ammonia concentration in cirrhotic patients with Helicobacter pylori infection

Objective To study whether liver cirrhosis associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection will induce increased serum ammonia and whether the peripher al serum ammonia reflects the level of portal vein serum ammonia. Methods Blood was taken from the portal vein and the cubital vein in cirrhotic patients with and without H. pylori infection and non-cirrhotic patients (splenic rupture) with and without H. pylori infection, and the serum ammonia was measured.Results The mean levels of serum ammonia in the group of cirrhotic patients with H. pylori infection were 167.82±8.97 μmol/L (portal vein) and 142.2±13.35 μmol/L (cubital vein). They were increased significantly as compared with cirrhotic patients without H. pylori infection (47.68±12.03 μmol/L portal vein and 37.23±7.04 μmol/L cubital vein), and also compared with the groups of splenic rupture patients with and without H. pylori infection ( P <0.01). There was no significant difference between the serum ammonia level of the cubital vein and portal vein (P>0.05).Conclusions H. pylori infection can induce an increase in serum ammonia in patients with liver dysfunction, and the peripheral serum ammonia measurement may replace the portal vein serum ammonia as a monitoring method. Eradication of H. pylori in cirrhotic patients may prevent hepatic encephalopathy (HE).

Expression of the extracellular matrix proteins collagen I, collagen III and fibronectin and matrix metalloproteinase-1 and -13 in the skin of patients with inguinal hernia

Although abnormal collagen metabolism has been ascribed an important role in the high recurrence rates after surgical hernia repair, knowledge on tissue sampled in the region affected by inguinal hernias is poor. In the present study, we determined collagen type I and type III in the skin of adult patients with indirect and direct inguinal hernias by both immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis. In addition, we quantified the immunohistochemical expression of fibronectin and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and -13. The results indicated that the ratio of collagen type I/III was significantly decreased in the skin of patients with either indirect (n = 9) or direct hernia (n = 7), with a concomitant increase in collagen type III (p < 0.001 vs. controls, n = 7, without affection of the inguinal region). There was no significant difference between patients with indirect and direct hernia (p > 0.05). MMP-13 was not expressed in any of the skin samples investigated, whereas MMP-1 was found in the epidermis. Fibronectin was predominantly detected at the epidermal-dermal junction. MMP-1, MMP-13 and fibronectin levels were significantly different between patients and controls (p > 0. 05). We conclude that in contrast to the unchanged expression of fibronectin and MMP-1 and MMP-13, the decreased ratios of collagen tpye I/III with the basically increased amount of collagen type III could be of significant importance for the pathophysiology of hernias. The specific ratio collagen I/III probably reflects the altered structural integrity and mechanical stability of the connective tissue in both indirect and direct hernias. Moreover, our findings stress that hernias should be regarded as the manifestation of a systemic disease in the inguinal region with a genetic background, explaining the high recurrence rates after repeated suture repair, as well as the usefulness of surgical meshes in this clinical setting.     

Synthesis of type I and III collagen, expression of fibronectin and matrix metalloproteinases-1 and -13 in hernial sac of patients with inguinal hernia

Since many years the importance of a weakness of the soft tissue for the development of hernias is discussed controversially. The tensile strength of the tissue is supposed to depend largely on the varying proportion of type I collagen with its high tensile strength and the immature type III collagen. Their relation is regulated by several collagenases, mainly matrix metalloproteinases-1 and -13 (MMP-1 and MMP-13), whereas fibronectin plays a key role for the adherence of cells within the extracellular matrix. The aim of this study was to investigate whether an alteration in type I and type III collagen synthesis, amounts of MMP-1 and MMP-13 and the expression of fibronectin were associated with the development of inguinal hernia. We analysed the hernial sac of patients with indirect (n = 9) and direct (n = 7) inguinal hernias and peritoneum in controls (n = 7) by immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis. The results showed that the ratio of relative amount of I/III collagen was markedly decreased in patients with either indirect or direct hernias as compared with controls (p < 0.001) with a concomitant increase in type III collagen synthesis. MMP-13 was expressed neither in the hernial sac nor in the peritoneum of the controls, but the positive reactions of MMP-1 were found in the surface of the subserosa of the hernial sac in patients with indirect or direct hernias without any difference compared to controls. Furthermore, the relative amount of fibronectin in patients with either indirect or direct hernias is not significantly different from controls (p > 0.05). In regard to the known alterations of the collagen metabolism in fascia and skin of hernia patients the changed collagen I/III ratio with its increase of type III collagen in hernial sacs support the presence of a systemic disturbance of collagen metabolism. The absence of changes of the expression of collagenases (MMP-1, MMP-13) and the constant levels of fibronectin underline the central role of collagen synthesis for the development of indirect or direct hernias.
