The Helicobacter pylori duodenal ulcer promoting gene, dupA in China
BACKGROUND The prevalence of H. pylori is as high as 60-70% in Chinese population. Although duodenal ulcer and gastric cancer are both caused by H. pylori, they are at opposite ends of the spectrum and as such are considered mutually exclusive. Duodenal ulcer promoting (dupA) gene was reported to be associated with duodenal ulcer development. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalenc...
متن کاملChallenges in Diagnosis of H. Pylori Infection in Children
H. pylori infection is usually acquired in early childhood. Its role in gastrointestinal and extra intestinal complaints and serious consequences in adulthood make it as challenging issues. Despite different clinical presentations, in most children, the presence of H. pylori infection does not lead to clinically apparent disease, even when it causes chronic active gastritis. Some of most import...
متن کاملresistant duodenal ulcers: role of Helicobacter pylori
Fifty nine patients with Helicobacter pylon 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 f...
متن کاملPrecise role of H pylori in duodenal ulceration.
The facts that H pylori infection is commoner in duodenal ulcer (DU) patients than in the normal population, and that eradication results in most cases being cured, have led to the belief that it causes DU. However, early cases of DU are less likely than established ones to be infected. H pylori-negative cases are usually ascribed to specific associated factors such as non-steroidal anti-inflam...
متن کاملRole of dupA in virulence of Helicobacter pylori
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a gastric human pathogen associated with acute and chronic gastritis, 70% of all gastric ulcers, 85% of all duodenal ulcers, and both forms of stomach cancer, mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and adenocarcinoma. Recently, attention has focused on possible relationship between presence of certain virulence factor and H. pylori-associated disea...
