helicobacter pylori infection is a common gastrointestinal infection that can cause pathological effects, increase oxidative stress and induce an inflammatory response in gastric mucosa. inflammatory aspects may prompt the production of radical oxygen substance (ros) which may damage cells and release 8-hydroxydyoxyguanosine (8-ohdg) to serum. in this study, we evaluate the prevalence of h. pyl...

background: although helicobacter pylori and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids) are the main causes of peptic ulcers disease (pud), recently the prevalence of idiopathic peptic ulcer (ipu) is increasing in most parts of the world. the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of ipu in kerman, the center of largest province in south-east iran. methods : we included 215 patients...

Pro-inflammatory Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RN) gene polymorphism and high risk Helicobacter pylori virulence factors in combination plays an important role in the outcome of H. pylori associated diseases, which can even lead to gastric cancer. The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence of high risk host and bacterial factors such as IL-1RN gene variable number tandem r...

OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy of the determination of Helicobacter pylori infection by a stool immunoassay in patients with upper-gastrointestinal bleeding (UGB) of peptic origin, in comparison with the routine histological study, serology, rapid urease and 13C-breath tests. METHODS Sixty-eight patients with endoscopically proven UGB of peptic origin were included. The presence of H. pylor...

This prospective clinical study was performed to investigate the colonization of H pylori in adenoid and tonsil tissues by using the Campylobacter-like organism (CLO) test. Included in the study were 56 patients aged 3 to 43 yrs who had undergone adenoidectomy, tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy procedures under general anesthesia. Two-mm diameter tissue pieces of adenoid and tonsil specimens ...

Helicobacter pylori (HP) are a bacterium that infects the mucus lining of the human stomach. HP has emerged as one of the most common bacterial pathogens worldwide . It is estimated that about half the world’s population is infected with HP . Curing the infection has the best outcome and is clearly the most cost effective management strategy for HP infected patients with ulcer disease . The goa...

Helicobacter Pylori infection is a common gastrointestinal infection that can cause pathological effects, increase oxidative stress and induce an inflammatory response in gastric mucosa. Inflammatory aspects may prompt the production of radical oxygen substance (ROS) which may damage cells and release 8-hydroxydyoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) to serum. In this study, we evaluate the prevalence of H. pyl...

BACKGROUND Although Helicobacter pylori and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the main causes of peptic ulcers disease (PUD), recently the prevalence of idiopathic peptic ulcer (IPU) is increasing in most parts of the world. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of IPU in Kerman, the center of largest province in south-east Iran. METHODS We included 215 patients wi...
