Aim:
To explore the relationship between helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection and expression of interleukin-8 (IL-8) in the remnant stomach mucosa.
Methods:
Fifty-eight patients with gastrectomy were examined by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Biopsy specimens were obtained from stoma and the greater curvature of the upper corpus to detect Hp infection (by H.E. and Giemsa staining) and IL-8 expression (by real-time semi-quantitative RT-PCR).
Results:
Hp infection was detected in 65.5% (38/58)of the remnant stomach mucosa. In 34 patients with Billroth I (BI) anastomosis, IL-8 in corpus was significantly higher in Hp-positive patients than that in Hp-negative patients (0.11+/-0.07 vs 0.02+/-0.01, P<0.05). In 24 patients with Billroth II (BII) anastomosis, IL-8 in stoma and corpus in Hp-positive patients was significantly higher than that in Hp-negative patients (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
Hp infection induces IL-8 expression in remnant stomach mucosa. In corpus, IL-8 mRNA expression is mainly related with Hp infection, while in stoma, IL-8 mRNA expressions may be related with bile reflux besides Hp infection.

In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds to M3...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
