摘要
Background: Helicobacter pylori infection is the commonest cause of gastritis. Different patterns of immune response to H. pylori infection and characteristics of bacteria are considered to contribute to clinical outcomes. Aim: To determine characteristics of the host H. pylori relationship in subjects with nonulcer dyspepsia and a histological diagnosis of gastritis. Methods: Thirty-five subjects with chronic gastritis undergoing endoscopy (mean age 53 years, range 24-82, 14 male and 21 female) were studied, none of whom was on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics. H. pylori infection was determined by rapid urease test (CLOtest), culture, antibody and RT-PCR for Ure C, Cag A and 26 kDa gene and histology. Cytokine production of mucosal IL-6 and IL-8 were measured by ELISA. Results: Fifteen subjects were positive by CLOtest and/or bacterial culture. In these subjects histology showed numerous helical forms of H. pylori (Group I). Nine subjects were negative by CLOtest, bacterial culture, and mRNA for urease C fragment, but positive by PCR for the 26 kDa protein encoding gene. Histology in these subjects showed the presence of either coccoid forms (four), or scant helical forms (two), or mixed coccoid/helical forms (three) (Group II). Eleven subjects were negative by all methods of detection (Group III). IgG and IgA antibody levels in serum (p<0.05) and gastric tissue culture supernatant (p<0.001) were significantly higher in Group I than those in Group II or III. There were significant differences in the IgG serum and IgA supernatant antibody levels (p<0.01 and p<0.05) when Group II was compared to Group III. Supernatant IL-6 levels were significantly higher in Group I (p<0.01) than those from Groups II and III. IL-8 levels were higher in Group I (p<0.01) and Group II (p<0.05) when compared to Group III. Conclusions: 'H. pylori-negative' gastritis can be associated with a non-urease producing form of H. pylori, with a reduction in both local and systemic antibody levels and mucosal pro-inflammatory cytokines.
