Heat shock proteins (HSPs) have core housekeeping functions in the cells where they are built-in components of folding, signal transduction pathways, and quality control functions for which they proofread the structure of proteins and repair misfolded conformers. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection leads to significant inflammations in the gastric mucosa, which is closely associated with ...

Gastric mucosal cell death due to various gastric stressors can cause several types of gastric diseases, such as gastric ulcers. In this study, we examined cell death following the short-term treatment of guinea pig gastric mucosal cells in primary culture with various gastric stressors. The short-term treatment of cells with ethanol, hydrogen peroxide or hydrochloric acid caused, in a dose-dep...

Studies assessing the effect and mechanism of probiotics on diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract (GI) including gastric ulcers are limited despite extensive work and promising results of this therapeutic option for other GI diseases. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms by which the probiotic mixture VSL#3 (a mixture of eight probiotic bacteria including Lactobacilli, Bifidobac...

BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori have different virulence factors which are associated with several gastroduodenal diseases; however, this association is variable in different geographical regions. Data of genotypes of Iranian H. pylori isolates are few. OBJECTIVES The aim of the current study was to investigate the cagA/vacA genotypes of Helicobacter pylori isolates and determine the relations...

Helicobacter pylori may be the world's commonest chronic infection. Estimates suggest that more than half the world's population is infected by this gastric bacterium. Since the discovery and successful culture of H. pylori in the 1980s, it has become clear that the infection is important in the initiation of gastritis, resulting in numerous manifestations of gastroduodenal disease. Clinical ou...
