Aim: The objective of this study is to compare the use Saccharomyces boulardii (S. boulardii) in eradicating Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) children as an alternative bismuth, which has a limited scope application due its side effects.
 Material and Method: Included were 220 pediatric patients with symptomatic H. gastritis. randomized into three treatment groups. Patients who received bis...

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) are one of the most common bacterial infections, seen in humans, worldwide and their possible relationships to different diseases are a focus of attention nowadays. H. pylori may cause some extra intestinal manifestations some of which are dermatological conditions, including Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), chronic urticaria and atopic dermatitis. We describe a 4...

Infection of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) changed the proliferation of gastric epithelial cells and decreased the expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70). However, the effects of H. pylori on the proliferation of gastric epithelial cells and the roles of HSP70 during the progress need further investigation. Objective. To investigate the effects of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and heat...

In 2006, the Canadian Helicobacter Study Group identified Aboriginal communities among Canadian population groups most at risk of Helicobacter pylori-associated disease. The objective of this systematic review was to summarize what is known about the H pylori-associated disease burden in Canadian and related Arctic Aboriginal populations to identify gaps in knowledge. Six health literature data...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection on the sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signaling in gastric cancer. Shh, Patched (Ptch), and transcription factor Gli1 were overexpressed in H. pylori-infected gastric cancer cells. The oncoprotein, CagA positive H. pylori resulted in significantly higher Shh expression. Pretreatment with MG-132 or PDTC significantly l...

Helicobacter pylori evade immune responses and achieve persistent colonization in the stomach. However, the mechanism by which H. pylori infections persist is not clear. In this study, we showed that MIR30B is upregulated during H. pylori infection of an AGS cell line and human gastric tissues. Upregulation of MIR30B benefited bacterial replication by compromising the process of autophagy durin...

Apoptosis, like Helicobacter pylori, has a long history, extending back into the 19th Century. Apoptosis was ignored or forgotten, just like H pylori, only to reemerge relatively recently. However, with the current exponential increase in the number of publications concerning H pylori, and in those written about apoptosis, it was only a matter of time before the influence of H pylori on apoptos...

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a highly prevalent, serious and chronic infection. It been associated causally with a diverse spectrum of gastrointestinal disorders including chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric adenocarcinoma. We conducted a study to Evaluation of the role of breastfeeding and breast milk on the colonization of H. pylori in the gastrointestinal tract...

HYPOTHESIS Helicobacter pylori is not associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease and its complications, including adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ). DESIGN Retrospective analysis. SETTING University tertiary referral center. PATIENTS Two hundred twenty-nine patients with symptoms suggestive of foregut disease underwent esophageal manometry, 24-ho...

Objective(s) Due to increasing emergence of drug-resistance in Helicobacter pylori isolates, traditional plants are potentially valuable sources of novel anti-H. pylori agents. In this research, anti-H. pylori activity of the organic extracts of twenty native Iranian plants was determined against ten clinical isolates of H. pylori. Materials and Methods Disc diffusion was used to determine th...
