Abstract:
Host genetic polymorphisms are predictive markers of susceptibility to infections. The gram-negative bacterium Helicobacter pylori can cause inflammation and molecular changes with various clinical outcomes. This study aimed to characterize host molecular biomarkers associated with susceptibility to H. pylori infection through a systematic review using PRISMA guidelines. The research was conducted across five databases, selecting observational studies without time or language restrictions and excluding animal studies. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023409085). Out of 4.683 articles, 35 were included, identifying 43 polymorphisms in 30 genes. 06 polymorphisms were analyzed in the meta-analysis: IL1B-C31T (rs1143627), IL1B-C511T (rs16944), TLR1 C>T (rs4833095), TLR4 A>G (rs4986790), TLR10 A>T (rs10004195), and TNF308 G>A (rs1800629). IL1B-C511T and TLR4 A>G increased susceptibility, while TLR1 C>T and TLR10 A>T offered protection. Host genetic determinants are strongly related to infection susceptibility. This study identified genomic variants and characterized the host genetic risk profile, contributing to targeted approaches for the target population and personalized medicine in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of H. pylori infection.

Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
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...
