Role of Saliva in the Aetiology of Peptic Ulcer.

Peptic Ulcer in India and Its Aetiology.

SYNOPSIS A study of the incidence of peptic ulcer amongst railway workers in various parts of India has shown that ulcer is more common in wet and humid areas than in the dry and arid regions. This observation is also supported by the ulcer incidence reported in other studies from India, Africa, and the West. Saliva appears to have an important role in the prevention of ulcer, because of its ri...

A study of the effect of saliva on the concentration of mucin in gastric juice and its possible relationship to the aetiology of peptic ulcer.

Detection of Helicobacter pylori in Saliva of Patient with Oral Lichen Planus

Lichen planus is a common, chronic inflammatory disease of the skin and mucous membrane for which no precise causes have been confirmed. But it is often connected with infections. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) among various bacteria has been associated with the cause of gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. Considering the similarities of histological features between gastric ulcer and ...

Evaluation of frequency polymorphism Interleukin 1B gene in patients with peptic ulcer and chronic gastritis

Introduction: Helicobacter pylori is the main cause of chronic inflammation and peptic ulcer. More than half of the world population is afflicted with Helicobacter, while only 20% of people show the clinical symptoms of the disease. Genes encoding the cytokines interleukin (IL)-1B play a key role in the inflammatory responses of gastric mucus. This study aims to analyze polymorphism in the IL-1...

Evaluation of Serum Interleukin-18 levels in Helicobacter Pylori-infected Peptic Ulcer Patients and its Association with Bacterial CagA Virulence Factor

Background: Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the most common gastrointestinal infections worldwide. Predominant T-helper 1 (Th1) responses with increased gamma interferon (IFN- γ) levels have been proposed to play an important role in H. pylori-induced peptic ulcer. However, bacterial factors contributing to the initiation of Th1 polarization of H. pylori-specific immune responses have n...
