Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune hematological disorder characterized by auto antibody-mediated platelet destruction. Although the main cause of ITP remains unclear, but its relationship with some infection was demonstrated. In recent years, many studies have demonstrated improvement of platelet counts in ITP patients after treating Helicobacter pylori infection. The a...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of Helicobacter pylori infection in the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer. Specimens from 80 patients with gastric cancer (of which 20 patients had metastatic gastric cancer) and 40 patients with chronic gastritis were included in this study. H. pylori infection was determined by ELISA and the expression of matrix metallo...

background: helicobacter pylori (h. pylori), is a common infection in pregnant women accompanied by variations in the levels of the igm, iga and igg antibody isotypes. the variations of anti-h. pylori antibodies during and after pregnancy, and the extent of protection they provide to the mother and the fetus are not completely understood. objectives: to investigate the changes of the anti-h. py...

OBJECTIVES Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection plays an important role in the carcinogenesis and development of gastric cancer. Eradication of H. pylori can effectively reduce the risk of gastric cancer, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the effect of eradication of H. pylori on the expression levels of FHIT, IL-8 and P73 in the gastri...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria convert urea to ammonia, which has been implicated in causation of hepatic encephalopathy in patients with liver cirrhosis. The role of H. pylori infection in causation of minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) has not been well studied. We looked at the relationship of H. pylori infection with MHE and hyperammonemia in patients with liv...

ba ckground: there have been a number of reports indicating that garlic can inhibit helicobacter pylori ( h. pylori ) in vitro ; however, there is few clinical trials evaluating its effect in human infection. the aim of this study was to assess the effect of garlic consumption on urea breath test (ubt) results in patients with h. pylori infection. m ethods: we performed a randomized case-contro...

objective: childhood infectious diseases are one of the most known environmental pathogenic causes of childhood asthma. the high prevalence of both helicobacter pylori infection and asthma in our country prompted us to assess anyprobable as- sociation between them in childhood. methods: this cross-sectional study recruited 196 children aged 6 to 12 years old comprising 98 asthmatic (case group)...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether Helicobacter pylori infection can contribute to growth deficit, especially in pubescent children who need large amounts of iron for growth. A structured questionnaire was sent to the parents of 532 healthy children aged 10 to 15 years (mean 12.9) to obtain demographic information on the parents and the environment. Of the 532 questionnaires sen...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a chronic infectious pathogen with high prevalence. This study investigated the interaction between environmental tobacco exposure and H. pylori infection on the incidence of chronic tonsillitis in Chinese children. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study performed in an outpatient clinic in China. METHODS: Pediatric patients with ...
