Peptic Ulcer Diseases in Korea

چکیده
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is one of the most commonly encountered gastroenterologic diseases in Korea. The trend in diagnosis and treatment of PUD in Korea has changed in the past decade with the introduction of endoscopy and potent acid suppressants such as proton pump inhibitors. The discovery of Helicobacter pylori has opened a new era for the understanding of pathogenesis and management of PUD. In this review, we tried to look back at the history of PUD in Korea and the changes of epidemiologic features and treatment of PUD in Korea. (Korean J Helicobacter Up Gastrointest Res 2012;12:19-22)

متن کاملGenotyping CagA, VacA subtype, IceA1, and BabA of Helicobacter pylori isolates from Korean patients, and their association with gastroduodenal diseases.
The genetic status of cagA, vacA subtype, iceA1, and babA, and the relationship to gastroduodenal diseases were assessed in Helicobacter pylori isolates in Korea. Seventy-six strains of H. pylori were isolated from the antrum and the corpus of 41 adult patients (22 with peptic ulcer and 19 with gastritis). The cagA, iceA1, and babA genes were assessed by polymerase chain reaction and the vacA s...
