چکیده

background :   vaculating cytotoxic a ( vaca ) gene is one of the multiple helicobacter pylori genotypes that produce a cytotoxin protein (vaca).this gene is a major cause of chronic peptic ulcers and gastric cancer. the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between vaca gene with peptic ulcer disease (pud) and non-ulcer dyspepsia (nud).   methods :    this was a case control study of 130 patients, aged 16-64, with positive h. pylori in histological and giemsa reports. the case and control groups included 65 pud patients and 65 nud patients, respectively. the presence of the vaca gene genotypes was determined using polymerase chain reaction (pcr) on biopsy samples, taken by endoscopy.   results :    in the case group, gastric ulcer was detected in 41.5% (27) of the participants; of whom, 77.8% (21) were female; and duodenal ulcer was found in 58.5% (38) of the participants, of whom,42.1 % (16)were female. the control group (nud) included 65 patients; of them,45% (29) were female and the average age was 36.4 ±10.8 years (18 to 60).the total frequency of the vaca gene was 53% (69/130),with 60% in the pud and 46% in the nud groups (odds ratio:1.75,95% ci:1.42-2.12,p=0.25)..   conclusion :   the vaca gene alone could not be a reliable diagnostic marker for discriminating peptic ulcer disease from non-ulcer dyspepsia in the iranian population under study.

Psychological factors in patients with peptic ulcer and functional dyspepsia

Abstract Background: The role of psychological factors in peptic ulcer disease (PUD) and functional dyspepsia (FD) has not been clearly determined. In this study the role of conflict management styles, psychiatric symptoms, and alexithymia were assessed in patients with PUD and FD and in the healthy individuals. Methods: Ninety subjects [30PUD (15 women, 15 men), 30 FD (15 women, 15 men), and...

Helicobacter pylori vacuolating cytotoxin, VacA.

Helicobacter pylori is the leading bacterial cause of food-borne illness worldwide and plays a major role in the development of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer. Strains isolated from patients contain the cagA gene (cytotoxin-associated gene A) and produce the vacuolating cytotoxin, VacA. Recent molecular and cellular studies of VacA action have begun to unravel its structure...
