| 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 ... | 1990 | 1982107 |
| 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 ... | 1990 | 1982628 |
| 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 ... | 1990 | 1983422 |
| zollinger-ellison syndrome. relation to helicobacter pylori-associated chronic gastritis and gastric acid secretion. | since helicobacter pylori infects the gastric mucosa in most patients with chronic duodenal ulcer, infection with this organism has been implicated in the pathogenesis of this common disease. we postulated that if h. pylori is pathogenic in the usual type of duodenal ulcer, it should be less common when duodenal ulcer has another, specific etiology, such as zollinger-ellison syndrome. gastric mucosa was compared from 18 patients with proven zollinger-ellison syndrome (17 of whom had had duodenal ... | 1991 | 1984995 |

| low peptic ulcer and high gastric cancer prevalence in a developing country with a high prevalence of infection by helicobacter pylori. | we compared the prevalence rates of peptic ulcer (duodenal and gastric) and gastric cancer in 1,796 dyspeptic peruvian patients with those reported in 2,883 similar patients from developed countries. the prevalence of total peptic ulcer was significantly lower, and that of gastric cancer significantly higher, in the peruvian patients. the prevalence of gastric ulcer was lower but not significantly so. we deduced that the significantly lower prevalence of total peptic ulcer was directly related t ... | 1991 | 2033222 |
| identification of glycolipid receptors for helicobacter pylori by tlc-immunostaining. | helicobacter pylori has been identified as a causative agent in active chronic gastritis. the receptor for this bacteria, however, is not known. it is likely that the receptor molecules may be glycosphingolipids as shown in the cases of other bacteria. we explored this possibility by a thin-layer chromatography (tlc)-immunostaining method. among glycosphingolipids extracted from human gastric mucosa, intact helicobacter pylori specifically bound to i3so3-galcer and ii3neuac-laccer, whereas no sp ... | 1991 | 2037054 |
| helicobacter mustelae-induced gastritis and elevated gastric ph in the ferret (mustela putorius furo). | helicobacter mustelae has been cultured from the stomachs of ferrets with chronic gastritis; the lesions in the stomach have many of the same histological features seen in h. pylori gastritis in humans. to determine whether h. mustelae-negative ferrets with normal gastric mucosa were susceptible to colonization and whether gastritis developed after infection, four h. mustelae-negative ferrets treated with cimetidine were inoculated orally on two successive days with 3 ml (1.5 x 10(8) cfu) of h. ... | 1991 | 2037349 |
| seroprevalence of helicobacter pylori infection in couples. | we investigated the prevalence of helicobacter pylori in 277 couples attending an infertility clinic. in total, 96 (17.3%) of the 554 persons were positive; in only 18 (6.6%) of the couples were both persons seropositive. age was an important predictor for h. pylori infection. for 177 couples, information regarding birthplace, duration of cohabitation, history of ulcer or gastritis, and use of antacid or bismuth compounds was available. none of these variables correlated with h. pylori infection ... | 1991 | 2037687 |
| gastroduodenal mucus gel thickness in patients with helicobacter pylori: a method for assessment of biopsy specimens. | the gastroduodenal mucus layer is considered the primary mucosal protective barrier, especially important in the maintenance of a mucosal ph gradient. thus, the measurement of the mucus layer thickness in various disease states could advance our understanding of gastroduodenal pathophysiology. we present a novel method for measuring the mucus layer in endoscopic biopsy material and compare layer thickness in helicobacter pylori (hp)-negative and hp-positive specimens. endoscopic biopsies were ob ... | 1991 | 2038995 |
| effect of helicobacter pylori infection on the severity of gastroduodenal mucosal injury after the acute administration of naproxen or aspirin to normal volunteers. | this study asked whether helicobactor pylori infection accentuated the severity of nsaid-induced mucosal injury of the stomach or duodenum. we evaluated the severity of acute mucosal injury and h. pylori status in 61 normal volunteers (ages 22-43 yr) receiving naproxen (1000 mg, n = 30) or aspirin (3900 mg, n = 31) daily for 7 days. nsaid-induced gastric and duodenal mucosa each were endoscopically graded separately for hemorrhages and erosions-ulcers on a scale of 0 to 4. h. pylori infection wa ... | 1991 | 2038996 |
| lansoprazole, a novel benzimidazole proton pump inhibitor, and its related compounds have selective activity against helicobacter pylori. | the activities of various types of antiulcer agents against helicobacter pylori (formerly called campylobacter pylori) strains were determined by an agar dilution method. among the compounds tested, two benzimidazole proton pump inhibitors, lansoprazole (ag-1749) and omeprazole, were found to have significant activities against this organism. the activity of lansoprazole was comparable to that of bismuth citrate, with mics ranging from 3.13 to 12.5 micrograms/ml, and fourfold more potent than th ... | 1991 | 2039199 |

| basophil-bound and serum immunoglobulin e directed against helicobacter pylori in patients with chronic gastritis. | the immunoglobulin (ig) e immune response in patients with helicobacter pylori-associated chronic gastritis has been evaluated. of 26 patients with h. pylori infection, 22 (84%) tested positive for basophil-bound specific ige (determined by the histamine release test) and 18 (69%) for serum specific ige (determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). in contrast, only 1 of 17 persons in whom the bacterium was not detected presented cell-bound and serum specific ige. in the 4 histamine rele ... | 1991 | 2044902 |
| positive serum antibody and negative tissue staining for helicobacter pylori in subjects with atrophic body gastritis. | helicobacter pylori is rarely found in gastric biopsy specimens from individuals with atrophic gastritis of the body mucosa. to determine if subjects with atrophic body gastritis have evidence of previous infection with h. pylori, immunoglobulin g antibody to h. pylori was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in sera of 399 finnish subjects. in 124 subjects, multiple biopsy specimens from body and antrum had been evaluated for the presence of h. pylori by giemsa staining. antibody corre ... | 1991 | 2044906 |
| sensitivity of the gastric mucosa to acid and duodenal contents in patients with nonulcer dyspepsia. | nonulcer dyspepsia is a common clinical syndrome whose etiology is unknown. the sensitivity of the gastric mucosa to acid and duodenal contents in 18 patients with nonulcer dyspepsia was studied. the patients had a normal upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and biopsy specimens were obtained for determination of helicobacter pylori status. fifteen of the 18 patients were infected with h. pylori. all patients underwent intubation with double-lumen tube and collection of cholecystokinin-stimulated pa ... | 1991 | 2044924 |
| a novel enzyme immunoassay for serodiagnosis of helicobacter pylori infection. | helicobacter pylori has recently been implicated as an etiologic agent of gastroduodenal disorders. comparing the antibody to h. pylori in the sera of patients with that of normal controls by western blot analysis, a unique antibody was detected in the sera of patients, which reacted with the 25-kilodalton antigen of h. pylori. on the other hand, monoclonal antibody cp3 prepared in the authors' laboratory also recognized the 25-kilodalton antigen of h. pylori. whether the serum antibody of the p ... | 1991 | 2044930 |
| suicidal destruction of helicobacter pylori: metabolic consequence of intracellular accumulation of ammonia. | the role of ph, citrate buffer, and urea were investigated in the suicidal destruction of helicobacter pylori, with particular reference to the organism's urea and ammonia metabolism. the median five minute survival of h pylori in the presence of 50 mmol/l urea in 0.2 m citrate buffer at ph 6.0 was only 14%, compared with 53% in the same solution at ph 7.0. the median amount of ammonium released into the incubating solution over five minutes was lower at ph 6.0 (9 mumol) than at ph 7.0 (18 mumol ... | 1991 | 2045495 |
| estimation of prevalence of helicobacter pylori infection in an asymptomatic elderly population comparing [14c] urea breath test and serology. | a non-invasive serological assay devised in this laboratory had a sensitivity and specificity of 100% as determined by culture and confirmed by histology in a group of 47 patients who had undergone endoscopy. the correlation between serology and the non-invasive [14c] breath test was very good. only one of 24 culture positive patients was, while all 23 culture negative patients were, breath test negative. in a group of 46 healthy elderly persons, however, significant anomalies between serology a ... | 1991 | 2045496 |
| helicobacter pylori catalase. | helicobacter pylori is the major aetiological agent of gastroduodenitis in humans. due to the potential importance of catalase in the growth and survival of helicobacter pylori on the surface of inflamed mucosae, we have characterized catalase from h. pylori as a prelude to further studies on the function of the enzyme in vivo. the catalase activity of h. pylori was significantly affected by the presence of blood, serum or erythrocytes in the growth medium: the greatest activity was expressed wh ... | 1991 | 2045782 |
| quantification of helicobacter pylori infection in gastritis and ulcer disease using a simple and rapid carbon-14-urea breath test. | gastric urease was studied isotopically in 230 patients with biopsy-proven normal mucosa or chronic gastritis, including 59 patients with ulcer disease. carbon-14-urea was given in 25 ml of water without substrate carrier or nutrient-dense meal, and breath samples were collected over a 60-min period. the amount of 14co2 excreted at 10 min was independent of the rate of gastric emptying and was not quantitatively influenced by the buccal urease activity. the 10-min 14co2 values discriminated well ... | 1991 | 2045933 |
| [assessment of the efficacy of de-nol and bismuth subnitrate treatment of patients with associated peptic ulcer and pyloric helicobacter infection (experimental and clinical studies)]. | the duration of colloid bismuth subcitrate (de-nol) and bismuth subnitrate (bsn) fixation on the mucosa was studied in animal experiments and in patients suffering from peptic ulcer using scanning electron microscopy and roentgenospectral analysis. in patients suffering from peptic ulcer with pyloric chelicobacter (pc), a study was made of the relationship between the duration of bismuth drugs fixation on the mucosa and the degree of pc elimination as well as of the therapeutic efficacy in such ... | 1991 | 2048016 |
| [etiologic and pathologic approaches to pharmacotherapy of peptic ulcer]. | today the majority of gastroduodenal ulcers, refractory to the treatment and recurrent ones, occur because of the persistence in the gastric mucosa of helicobacter pylori. the prevalence of the infection in patients with gastroduodenal ulcer together with the efficacy of a number of antibacterial drugs in addition to antisecretory and cytoprotective agents were studied on a large factual material. | 1991 | 2048017 |
| oral immunization against helicobacter pylori. | helicobacter pylori, which has been associated with gastritis and duodenal ulcers, commonly chronically infects adults. eradication of this microorganism, which is difficult to achieve, results in normalization of gastritis and marked reduction in the relapse rate of duodenal ulcers. since eradication is difficult to achieve, prevention of initial colonization of the gastrointestinal tract may be a viable alternative for abrogation of h. pylori-associated gastroduodenal disease. to test the feas ... | 1991 | 2050403 |
| essential role of urease in pathogenesis of gastritis induced by helicobacter pylori in gnotobiotic piglets. | a mutant strain of helicobacter pylori with weak urease activity was created by using n-methyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine. the urease activity of the mutant (0.036 +/- 0.009 nmol of urea per micrograms of bacterial protein per min) was 0.4% of that of the parental strain (8.20 +/- 2.30 nmol of urea per micrograms of bacterial protein per min). the mutant was otherwise indistinguishable from the parental strain. both demonstrated prominent catalase and oxidase activities, and both produced vacuo ... | 1991 | 2050411 |
