significance of campylobacter pylori.there is an explosion of interest in the role of campylobacter pylori as a cause of active chronic gastritis. this curved spiraled microorganism can readily be detected within the mucus gel covering the stomach mucosa, especially in patients suffering from peptic ulcer disease or non-ulcer dyspepsia. to what extent this intriguing microorganism is causally related to peptic ulcer disease remains to be elucidated, but all the evidence which is available so far supports a pathogenetically importan ...19872979701
problems with clinical trials on campylobacter pylori.clinical trials investigating campylobacter pylori infection have proven difficult to conduct and to interpret. those trials examining the relapse rates of duodenal ulcer disease among subjects in whom c. pylori infection has been eradicated have shown a significant reduction in recurrence rates. however, since the bismuthate compounds used in these trials have cytoprotective ulcer-healing properties, reduced relapse rates cannot be attributed to antibiotic activity alone. those trials examining ...19882980756
[the urease test for the diagnosis of campylobacter pylori infection].to evaluate the usefulness of urea media routinely applied in the diagnosis of campylobacter pylori infection, 50 patients with gastroduodenal pathology were studied. two biopsies of antral mucosa were taken; one of them was placed on urea agar base (difco) prepared without agar, and the other in saline for gram staining and culture in selective and enriched media. in 39 patients campylobacter pylori was found by gram staining and/or culture. 38 of them were urease test positive, 24 (61.5%) duri ...19892485236

acid and barriers. current research and future developments for peptic ulcer therapy.medical therapy for peptic ulcer disease has been targeted at inhibiting acid secretion based on the belief that ulcers occur due to an imbalance between aggressive and protective factors. new antisecretory agents are unlikely to show any dramatic improvement over the success and safety of histamine h2 receptor antagonists or the recently introduced h+k+atpase proton pump antagonist omeprazole. the development of specific muscarinic m3 and gastrin receptor antagonists will provide useful agents ...19901978405
pathogenesis and therapy of peptic ulcer disease.the epithelial cells of the stomach and duodenum are normally protected from the damaging effects of acid and pepsin by a balancing mechanism of mucosal resistance. if an imbalance occurs, peptic ulcer may result. traditional teaching has emphasized the importance of acid (and pepsin) as the cause of this imbalance; however, it is clear that acid and pepsin are not the only important factors in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer. more recent investigative efforts have been directed at what constit ...19901978840

epidemiology and treatment of gastric campylobacter pylori infection: more questions than answers.two-hundred and ten consecutive patients undergoing routine gastroscopy were additionally investigated for evidence of campylobacter pylori (c.p.). 106 patients were positive in one or more tests: 99.1% using a rapid urease detecting test (clo-test), 80.2% histology, 78.3% cytology and 60% culture. we found no difference between the clo-test results from biopsies taken from different parts of the stomach in individual patients. c.p. was found in 100% of patients with significant chronic antral g ...19901982107
determinants of acid secretion.acid secretion is regulated by hormonal factors acting peripherally and centrally, as well as neural factors. gastrin and histamine are the two most important peripheral hormonal stimulants, while the vagus is the predominant nerve affecting acid secretion. meal related acid secretion occurs in three phases: cephalic, gastric and intestinal. acid secretion is stimulated in the first two phases while it is inhibited in the intestinal phase. proteins are potent acid stimulants but carbohydrates an ...19901982628
site-and cytoprotective drugs in the short-term treatment of peptic ulcer. what is their current role?many endoscopically controlled comparisons with h2-blockers have widely documented that site- and cytoprotective drugs constitute effective and safe agents for the short-term treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcer. their efficacy however, is counter-acted by the need for multiple daily administration which requires greater patient compliance. due to its ability to eradicate helicobacter pylori (hp) from the gastric antrum and retard relapses, colloidal bismuth may be the first choice anti-ulcer ...19901983422

unsaturated fatty acids and viability of helicobacter (campylobacter) pylori.helicobacter (campylobacter) pylori was found to be sensitive to the toxic effects of an unsaturated fatty acid (arachidonic acid). data are presented that support the hypothesis that exogenous catalase added to basal media enhances the growth of h. pylori by preventing the formation of toxic peroxidation products from long-chain unsaturated fatty acids.19902112559
hydrophobic characterisation of helicobacter (campylobacter) pylori.cell-surface hydrophobicity of helicobacter (formerly campylobacter) pylori was tested by aqueous two-phase partitioning and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. the hydrophobicity of h. pylori greatly exceeded that of campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus, c. jejuni and bacillus subtilis. a partition coefficient (pc) of hydrophobicity in the two-phase system was determined for h. pylori. pc was dependent on ph and the pc value was increased by greater than 20-fold at ph 2.5. lithium cations incre ...19902113100
the 14co2 urea breath test for helicobacter pylori infection. 19902118567
association of helicobacter pylori with acid peptic disease in karachi.the prevalence of h. pylori infection in 200 dyspeptic patients undergoing upper g.i. endoscopy was investigated by histology and rapid urease test. h. pylori was associated with 86% cases of chronic gastritis, 84.6% cases of duodenal ulcers and 78.5% of gastric ulcers. none of the 15 histologically normal gastric biopsies showed h. pylori.19902123260
helicobacter pylori induces lymphocyte activation in peripheral blood cultures.helicobacter pylori-induced in vitro stimulation of mononuclear cells was characterized by measuring dna synthesis response, interferon-gamma (ifn-gamma) secretion and the number of immunoglobulin-secreting cells. the strength of these responses was measured in 51 subjects comprising 36 dyspeptic patients from the gastroenterological unit and 15 members of the laboratory staff. nineteen subjects had antibodies to h. pylori and 32 did not. the responses were compared with respect to h. pylori ant ...19902124957
validation of a simplified carbon-14-urea breath test for routine use for detecting helicobacter [correction of heliobacter] pylori noninvasively.a carbon-14 (14c) urea breath test for detecting helicobacter pylori with multiple breath sampling was developed. carbon-14-urea (110 kbq) administered orally to 18 normal subjects and to 82 patients with helicobacter infection. the exhaled 14c-labeled co2 was trapped at 10-min intervals for 90 min. the total 14c activity exhaled over 90 min was integrated and expressed in %activity of the total dose given. in normals, a mean of 0.59% +/- 0.24% was measured, resulting in an upper limit of normal ...19902125066
a placebo controlled trial of bismuth salicylate in helicobacter pylori associated gastritis.in a placebo controlled prospective clinical trial of bismuth salicylate in helicobacter pylori associated gastritis, 52 adult patients were randomly allocated to treatment with bismuth salicylate or placebo. helicobacter pylori were totally cleared in 77% patients in bismuth group but none in placebo group (p less than 0.001). resolution of gastritis (p less than 0.001) and improvement of symptoms (p less than 0.01) were significantly better in patients where h. pylori infection cleared as comp ...19902125658
helicobacter pylori associated chronic gastritis and peptic ulceration in patients taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.helicobacter pylori is now recognized as a frequent cause of histological chronic gastritis, and this has radically changed our understanding of this common condition. in the light of these developments, the traditional view that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are one of the common 'environmental' causes of chronic gastritis has been re-examined. gastric mucosal biopsies have been studied from 430 patients undergoing routine upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, 99 of whom had recently been t ...19902129639
