introduction: recent studies have shown a relationship between h. pylori and chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (citp).   objective: the present study was performed to evaluate this relationship in iranian patients.   methods:   the antibody (igg) against h. pylori was studied in sixty-two patients with citp, comprising 25 males and  37 females (mean age: 30.38±12.23 yrs ) the patients...

abstract: introduction & objective: helicobacter pylori are among the important pathogens responsible for chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. the present study aimed to comparatively evaluate pcr and rut methods for detection of h. pylori and determination of the prevalence of the cagapositive helicobacter pylori strains in shahrekord. materials & methods: this is a molecular ep...

Background: Previous studies imply that IL-1 and IL-8 gene variations may play a crucial role in the genetic predisposition to different gastric disorders upon H. pylori infection. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the potential association between the prevalence of certain polymorphic sites and the risk of gastric disorders in Iranian population. Methods: One hundred and forty ...

background: infections attributed to helicobacter pylori ( h. pylori ) involve almost half of the world's population. one of the effects is auto-antibody induction and cross-reaction with numerous proteins in the body. as a result of its widespread prevalence and importance, this study evaluates the associations between h. pylori and thyroid auto-antibodies. materials and methods: this study en...

background : helicobacter pylori ( h. pylori ) infection is known as a major etiologic factor for a variety of gastroduodenal diseases. in iran, with a high rate of h. pylori infection close to 90%, numerous studies have revealed many aspects of interaction between the bacterium, mucosal surface and induction of disease outcome. the organism is genetically diverse and several virulence factors ...

background: it is not yet known which types of toll-like receptors (tlrs) are most effective in helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) recognition. it is also not known which gastric zones have the most prominent roles in tlr-mediated bacterial recognition. the aim of this work was to analyze the expression of tlr2 and tlr4 in biopsy specimens from h. pylori-infected patients. methods: thirty-eight pa...

prior investigators demonstrated helicobacter pylori as a risk factor of liver diseases. in this study association between h. pylori and hepatocellular carcinoma was investigated. patients and methods totally, 59 specimens of liver were collected from two health care centers affiliated to shahid beheshti university of medical sciences, including 22 specimens of hepatocellular carcinoma, 18 spec...

the aim of this study was to determine the resistance rates of helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) to various antimicrobial agents. the agar disk diffusion method (kirby bauer) was used to determine the sensitivity of h. pylori isolates to various antimicrobials. of the 61 h. pylori isolatestested, no isolates was resistant to amoxycillin and tetracycline. the resistance rates were 42.6% for metron...

Obesity is an important public health problem in the United States. Because of its potential effects on gastric leptin homeostasis, Helicobacter pylori may play a role in regulating body weight. The authors' aim in this study was to examine the association between H. pylori colonization and overweight status. Nonpregnant participants in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey...

 Abstract Background: Infectious agents such as Chlamydia pneumonia or Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) have been linked to ischemic heart disease (IHD) as the epidemiologic studies have shown. Other studies believed that raised plasma fibrinogen level has been claimed as a possible link between H. pylori infection and IHD. Methods: An analytic cross-sectional study was undertaken on 261 patient...
