| haemagglutination profiles of helicobacter species that cause gastritis in man and animals. | thirty-five helicobacter pylori isolates, 21 h. mustelae isolates and four strains of h. felis were compared for their ability to agglutinate red blood cells (rbcs). isolates were examined in a slide haemagglutination assay with rbcs from 11 animal species, including rodents, carnivores and primates, as well as man. rbcs were agglutinated by 65-90% of h. mustelae isolates and 16-57% of h. pylori isolates. treatment of h. mustelae with pronase and heat inhibited haemagglutination (ha) whereas hea ... | 1992 | 1279175 |
| histamine h2-receptor antagonists in peptic ulcer disease. efficacy in healing peptic ulcers. | duodenal ulcer healing depends on the degree and length of inhibition of gastric secretion and upon the duration of therapy, while gastric ulcer healing is dependent mainly on the duration of therapy. currently marketed doses of the histamine h2-receptor antagonists heal between 77 and 92% of duodenal ulcers at 4 weeks, and adjuvant treatment to eradicate helicobacter pylori increases this rate. once-daily administration is as effective as more frequent dosing regimens and may even result in hig ... | 1992 | 1280563 |

| does the stomach adapt to helicobacter pylori? | to shed some light on the question of gastric adaptation to helicobacter pylori infection, an overview is given of the various histopathological and clinical consequences of h. pylori infection in man. h. pylori infection can be considered as a chronic bacterial infection. for many individuals there is a balance between a low degree of infection and a low degree of inflammation. the microbial or host factors in adaptation of this balance are largely unknown. if and how 'downregulation' of the in ... | 1992 | 1290055 |
| gastric carcinoma: failed adaptation to helicobacter pylori. | helicobacter pylori is the major cause of chronic gastritis. unlike bacterial infections in general, h. pylori acquisition causes a chronic, usually life-long infection. after acquisition, chronic inflammation (gastritis) appears and develops slowly into atrophic gastritis (with intestinal metaplasia) in a proportion of affected subjects. inflammation and atrophy result from a failure of the immune system to eliminate the h. pylori infection. in infected stomach, several cascades of reactions ar ... | 1992 | 1290056 |

| indirect immunofluorescence determination of the frequency of anti-h. pylori antibodies in brazilian blood donors. | 1. the accuracy of an indirect immunofluorescence (iif) test for the serodiagnosis of helicobacter pylori infection was evaluated in adult patients and compared with culture, preformed urease test and smears stained with carbolfuchsin. 2. we studied 80 consecutive patients submitted to gastroduodenoscopy (17 of whom were found to have duodenal ulcer) plus 57 patients with duodenal ulcer. 3. h. pylori was identified by microbiological methods in 65 of the 80 consecutive patients and in all 57 pat ... | 1992 | 1342599 |
| [pathogenesis of peptic ulcer: role of helicobacter pylori gastritis and its course during antibiotic and/or antisecretory treatment]. | a systematic investigation of the histologic pattern of antral and corpus gastritis has been carried out in 1177 patients with various clinical conditions. an increased rate and severity of antral mucosa gastritis activity as well as surface epithelium cytotoxic lesions and helicobacter pylori colonization, coupled with low rates and severity of the same parameters in corpus mucosa gastritis (usually of superficial nature so as to spare the integrity of acidopeptic glands) were the main features ... | 1992 | 1343564 |
| helicobacter pylori and gastroduodenal disease: pathogenesis and host-parasite interaction. | helicobacter pylori has been shown to be the cause of chronic active gastritis and the evidence that it is involved in the development of peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer is compelling. narrow host range, tissue specificity, and chronic inflammation are hallmarks of infection. the study of virulence determinants has just begun but it seems likely that urease, adhesins, cytotoxins, and mediators of inflammation will prove to be important. | 1992 | 1344668 |

| dna patterns of helicobacter pylori isolated from gastric antrum, body, and duodenum. | biopsy specimens for culture of helicobacter pylori were obtained from two different sites in the antrum, gastric body, and duodenal cap in 20 patients during endoscopic investigation of dyspepsia. h. pylori was identified in 64 isolates obtained from 15 of the 20 patients. analysis of chromosomal dna from these isolates of h. pylori showed that 13 of 15 patients harbored a single strain of h. pylori throughout their stomach and duodenum. two differing h. pylori types were found in two patients. ... | 1992 | 1347029 |

| bismuth subsalicylate in the treatment of h2 blocker resistant duodenal ulcers: role of helicobacter pylori. | fifty nine patients with helicobacter pylori positive duodenal ulcers that failed to heal after a six week course of treatment with h2 blockers were randomly assigned to one of the following three regimens: (i) bismuth subsalicylate, 600 mg three times daily (n = 19), (ii) ranitidine, 300 mg at night (n = 20), (iii) bismuth subsalicylate plus ranitidine (n = 20). cumulative ulcer healing rates after four and eight weeks respectively were as follows: bismuth subsalicylate 74% (14/19) and 95% (18/ ... | 1992 | 1347278 |

| diagnostic value of decreasing igg, iga, and igm antibody titres after eradication of helicobacter pylori. | titres of antibody to helicobacter pylori are known to fall with eradication of bacteria. to find out what degree of fall would reliably indicate eradication, 144 patients with helicobacter pylori infection were given antimicrobial therapy for 2 weeks and then followed up at 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months with serological tests, bacterial cultures, and histological studies of gastric specimens. 6 weeks after treatment igg titres had fallen by 20-30% irrespective of the success of bacterial era ... | 1992 | 1348298 |
| childhood living conditions and helicobacter pylori seropositivity in adult life. | infection with helicobacter pylori increases an individual's risk of peptic ulceration and gastric cancer. in the developed world, prevalence of infection rises with age and varies with social class. we used a cross-sectional study design to test the hypothesis that h pylori infection would be more closely associated with childhood living conditions than with current socioeconomic status. prevalence of igg antibodies against h pylori was determined with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 21 ... | 1992 | 1348299 |
| urease-associated heat shock protein of helicobacter pylori. | helicobacter pylori urease is an extracellular, cell-bound enzyme with a molecular weight of approximately 600,000 (600k enzyme) comprising six 66k and six 31k subunits. a 62k protein is closely associated with the h. pylori urease, both in crude preparations and after gel filtration; this protein can be removed from the urease by ion-exchange chromatography without inactivating the enzyme. we purified this urease-associated protein and determined its n-terminal amino acid sequence. the sequence ... | 1992 | 1348725 |
