Abstract

To determine the prevalence of genotypes of cagII in Helicobacter pylori (H pylori)-infected patients in Zhejiang Province and investigate the relationship between these genotypes and the types of gastroduodenal diseases. One hundred and seventy one clinical isolates were collected from 70 chronic superficial gastritis, 31 chronic atrophic gastritis, 41 gastric ulcer, 21 duodenal ulcer, 3 gastric and duodenal ulcer, and 5 gastric adenocarcinoma patients. Polymerase chain reaction assays were performed for analysis of cagT, ORF13 and ORF10 genes in the cagII region. Of 171 H pylori isolates from Zhejiang patients, 159(93.0%) were positive for all the three loci. One isolate (0.6%) was negative for all the three loci, and 11(6.4%) were partially deleted in cagII. The positive rates of cagT, ORF13 and ORF10 genes were 97.1%, 94.7% and 99.4%, respectively. In the strains isolated from the patients with diseases including chronic superficial gastritis, chronic atrophic gastritis, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, the sitive rates of cagT were 95.7%, 100.0%, 95.1% and 100.0%, respectively. The positive rates of ORF13 were 94.3%, 93.5%, 95.1% and 100.0%, respectively. The sitive rates of ORF10 were 98.6%, 100.0%, 100.0% and 100.0%, re...Continue Reading

Atrophic Gastritis

Atrophic Gastritis is a process where gastric glandular cells are lost and replaced with firbous tissues, as a result of chronic inflammation. Learn more about Atrophic Gastritis here.
