Monotherapy with mastic does not eradicate Helicobacter pylori infection from mice

Monotherapy with mastic does not eradicate Helicobacter pylori infection from mice.

OBJECTIVE To determine the ability of mastic monotherapy to eradicate Helicobacter pylori infection from mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS The susceptibility of H. pylori SS1 to mastic was assessed by broth dilution determination of the MIC and MBC. Mice were inoculated intragastrically with either a suspension of H. pylori SS1 (n = 70) or brain-heart infusion broth alone (n = 10). Mice were given ...

P-176: Infertility and iIts Association with Helicobacter Pylori Infection

Background: Infertile couples in the reproductive failure, after a year of sex without contraception is described and in 10 to 15% of couples can be seen, that the 1/3 because of the male, 1/3 female and the rest are a common cause. Factors involved in human infertility, the expression of microbial infection (25%), biological factors, environmental and genetic (50%) and unknown causes (25%) are...

Catechins and Sialic Acid Attenuate Helicobacter pylori-Triggered Epithelial Caspase-1 Activity and Eradicate Helicobacter pylori Infection

The inflammasome/caspase-1 signaling pathway in immune cells plays a critical role in bacterial pathogenesis; however, the regulation of this pathway in the gastric epithelium during Helicobacter pylori infection is yet to be elucidated. Here, we investigated the effect of catechins (CAs), sialic acid (SA), or combination of CA and SA (CASA) on H. pylori-induced caspase-1-mediated epithelial da...

How often does surgery for peptic ulceration eradicate Helicobacter pylori? Systematic review of 36 studies.

overview. The question arises why analysis of QT interval should be able to predict cardiac death. QT dispersion may be a composite term reflecting electrical inhomogeneity as a result of ischaemia, left ventricular dilatation, left ventricular hypertrophy, cardiac fibrosis, and autonomic neuropathy. Each one of these individually confers increased cardiac risk, and this may be why QT dispersio...
