objective(s):helicobacter pylori infection occurs worldwide, but the prevalence of this infection varies greatly among different countries and population groups. the aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of anti-helicobacter pylori and anti-cytotoxin-associated gene a (caga) antibodies in asymptomatic healthy population in the center of iran and to investigate the relation with ...

background: infection with helicobacter pylori might be related to chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric adenocarcinoma. given the high prevalence of helicobacter infection in our region, this study was designed to determine the age trend of helicobacter pylori contamination in golestan province in 2008. materials andmethods: this cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out on 1028 ...

INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative urease-producing bacterium causally linked with gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric adenocarcinoma. Infection is more frequent and acquired at an earlier age in developing countries compared to European populations. The incidence of Helicobacter pylori infection in dyspeptic Ghanaian patients was 75.4%. However, epidemiological factors...

In this study, a medicinal plant, Galla rhois (GR), was examined and screened for its anti-Helicobacter pylori activity. Galla rhois was extracted with 70% ethanol. Inhibitory zone tests, as in vitro assays, and an in vivo study using a Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) model were performed. The safety of the GR extract was then evaluated in an animal study. The Galla rhois extract demon...

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...

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...

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...
