| effect of partial gastrectomy on serum anti-helicobacter pylori immunoglobulins in peptic ulcer patients. | since biliary enterogastric reflux is suggested to eradicate gastric infection with helicobacter pylori (hp), we have investigated in a prospective randomized study the effect of partial gastrectomy with either billroth ii or roux-en-y anastomosis on infection with hp as assessed by the titers of igg and iga antibodies against hp in serum. these antibodies were measured by elisa in serum of 22 patients before and at 10 days and 6, 15, and 24 months after either billroth ii (n = 11) or roux-en-y ... | 1991 | 1748037 |
| helicobacter pylori affects the quality of experimental gastric ulcer healing in a new animal model. | helicobacter pylori has been implicated in the genesis of human gastritis, dyspepsia, and peptic ulcers. however, its influence in the quality of experimental gastric ulcer healing has not been previously investigated. standardized gastric fundic ulcers were produced in 50 male sprague-dawley rats (150-200 g) by a 4 mm in diameter focal, serosal application of 100% acetic acid. thirty rats were administered 2 ml h. pylori suspension (urease producing, atcc 43504) in normal saline (10(8) cfu/ml) ... | 1991 | 1748215 |
| pattern of upper gastrointestinal disease in the eastern province of saudi arabia. endoscopic evaluation of 2,982 patients. | the records of 2,982 patients who were subjected to upper gastrointestinal (ugi) endoscopy were retrospectively analyzed. all patients were seen at king fahd hospital of the university, al-khobar during the period 1982-1986. all were adult patients with a mean age of 46 years, of whom two thousand nine (67.4%) were males. the commonest endoscopic diagnosis was chronic gastritis (21.4%) followed by duodenal ulcer (17%) and chronic oesophagitis (11.7%). of 1,256 biopsied patients a 'histologically ... | 1991 | 1750116 |
| immunological response to helicobacter pylori among nigerians. | among 420 nigerians examined, 39% had antibodies to helicobacter pylori. the prevalence was significantly higher in males (55%) than in females (29%). the prevalence tended to rise with age in both sexes and was significantly higher in the 30-34 years age group. socio-economic class and rural dwellage did not affect the prevalence. the study may indicate that h. pylori is endemic in nigeria. it also shows that the detection of antibodies to h. pylori may be a rapid and cheap method for diagnosin ... | 1991 | 1750125 |

| is helicobacter pylori associated hypergastrinaemia due to the bacterium's urease activity or the antral gastritis? | eradication of helicobacter pylori is associated with a fall in serum gastrin but the way in which the infection raises the serum gastrin concentration is not clear. it may be related to the ammonia produced by the bacterium's urease stimulating gastrin release by the antral g cells. alternatively, the antral gastritis induced by the infection may modify the regulation of gastrin release. we have examined serum gastrin in 10 patients before and 24 hours after starting triple anti-h pylori treatm ... | 1991 | 1752456 |
| long term serological surveillance after treatment of helicobacter pylori infection. | fifteen patients with type b gastritis caused by helicobacter pylori infection were treated with 'triple' therapy consisting of colloidal bismuth subcitrate, amoxycillin, and metronidazole. all were followed up as outpatients every three months for at least one year. after 'triple' therapy a significant (p less than 0.01) and persistent reduction in iga and igg antibody levels against h pylori was detected. in three patients recurrent active infection with h pylori at nine and 12 months was dete ... | 1991 | 1752457 |

| adhesion of helicobacter pylori to human gastric mucosal biopsy specimens cultivated in vitro. | the therapeutic advances in helicobacter pylori infection is hampered by the lack of suitable animal model systems. we have previously reported on successful adherence of h. pylori to pig gastric mucosa cultured in vitro. the aim of this study was to verify the technique in human biopsy specimens cultured in vitro. mucosal samples were taken from h. pylori-negative and h. pylori-positive patients undergoing gastric surgery. the non-infected tissue was infected with h. pylori in vitro, and the in ... | 1991 | 1754854 |
| dental plaque: a permanent reservoir of helicobacter pylori? | the aim of the study was to observe the relationship between the two reservoirs of helicobacter pylori--that is, dental plaque and the stomach. with the campylobacter-like organism (clo) test, h. pylori was detected in dental plaque and in gastric antral and body mucosa in 98%, 67% and 70%, respectively, of 43 consecutive patients with dyspepsia. the rapidity of the clo test indicates that the density of h. pylori is heaviest in dental plaque, less in the antrum, and least in the body mucosa of ... | 1991 | 1754858 |
| [bismuth revisited in helicobacter pylori gastro-duodenal infection]. | the various hypothesis for the explantation of reversible bismuth encephalopathy are reviewed and discussed. today, this side effect appears to be devoid of mystery, due to uncontrolled and inhibited ingestion of bismuth salts which increased the emergence of genetic and physiopathologic risk factors and brought about the cases of neurotoxicity. bismuth therapy has shown major efficacy in the treatment of gastroduodenal ulcers. colloidal bismuth subcitrate is as effective as the h2-receptor anta ... | 1991 | 1754987 |
| non-ulcer dyspepsia in nigeria: a case-control study. | non-ulcer dyspepsia is common in africa, yet there are few data on its possible cause. in this study 40 patients with strictly defined non-ulcer dyspepsia were matched with 40 asymptomatic volunteers. both groups were questioned concerning their intake of alcohol, cola nut, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and smoking. they then underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with mucosal biopsy of the gastric mucosa: these biopsies were examined for gastritis and helicobacter pylori. ingestion ... | 1991 | 1755074 |
