background: polymorphisms in the immune related genes are important in the clinical outcome of helicobacter pylori infection. myeloperoxidase -463 g/a polymorphism has been shown to reduce enzyme expression and activity. objective: the aim of the present study is to investigate the association of myeloperoxidase g-463a polymor-phism with clinical outcome of helicobacter pylori infection. method...

This study evaluates in vivo and in vitro anti-Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) efficacy of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) prepared via a cost-effective green chemistry route wherein Peganum harmala L. seeds extract was used as a reducing and capping agent. The structural features, as elucidated by surface plasmon resonance spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy, and powder X-ray dif...

helicobacter pylori infects 50–60% of the world population and is major cause of gastritis, duodenal (peptic)   and gastric ulcers, gastric adenocarcinoma and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (malt) lymphomas. h. pylori infection has a worldwide distribution and almost a third of the world's population is infected. this study was conducted to determine the level of anti- h. pylori...

The venom peptide bicarinalin, previously isolated from the ant Tetramorium bicarinatum, is an antimicrobial agent with a broad spectrum of activity. In this study, we investigate the potential of bicarinalin as a novel agent against Helicobacter pylori, which causes several gastric diseases. First, the effects of synthetic bicarinalin have been tested against Helicobacter pylori: one ATCC stra...

Introduction: Helicobacter pylori infection has various clinical features. One of the most common presentations of this infection is upper abdominal pain. Complications such as gastritis, gastric ulcer, gastric carcinoma and MALT lymphoma mandate early diagnosis of H.P infection by a low cost and non invasive manner. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic role of H.P stool antige...

PURPOSE Helicobacter pylori colonization of gastric epithelium causes a local and systemic, cellular and humoral immune response. Despite this immune response involvement in the infection, its elimination from the organism does not take place and the process usually becomes chronic. The purpose of the study was to establish the prevalence of gastric mucosa inflammation in children and adults wi...

OBJECTIVE: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most common esophageal diseases in the developing world, but the relationship between esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and Helicobacter pylori infection remains a neglected topic. The primary objective of this study was to determine the association between Helicobacter pylori infection and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. A second...

background and objectives:  helicobacter pylori cause a chronic gastric infection, and may cause extra gastrointestinal disease. the association between h. pylori infection and serum lipid profiles is still controversial. the aim of this study was to investigate any possible relationship between h. pylori infection and lipid levels. materials and methods: the subjects were 400 volunteer referr...
