Inflammatory changes in the gastric mucosa are commonly observed in Japanese patients with functional dyspepsia (FD). However, detailed data regarding the relationship between the genetic regulatory factors of inflammation and FD are not available. We investigated the associations between FD and
Campylobacter pyloridis, a recently detected microorganism, was isolated from gastric antral mucosa in 58% of 119 consecutive patients with upper dyspepsia. There was a highly significant correlation between the presence of Campylobacter pyloridis and antral inflammation and a close relation to
Proper control and quantitation are important in the accurate evaluation of gastroduodenal inflammation in dyspeptic patients without ulcers or erosions as proved by endoscopy. The endoscopic findings and the gastroduodenal mucosal inflammatory cell count in 31 patients with non-ulcer dyspepsia were
This review presents studies that support an inflammation-immunological model for the pathogenesis of post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and highlights recent studies that support a similar disease model in non-post-infectious IBS, in particular, diarrhoea-predominant IBS, as well as in
An endoscopic study of 34 patients with rheumatic diseases taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) was undertaken to evaluate whether dyspepsia was associated with Campylobacter pyloridis. Twenty-two patients had an indication for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and 12 patients were
OBJECTIVE
Although there is a paucity of data, environmental factors such as smoking, alcohol, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are believed to be important in the pathogenesis of functional dyspepsia. We aimed to evaluate, in outpatients presenting for endoscopy, the role of
OBJECTIVE
Functional dyspepsia is a common gastrointestinal disorder. The pathogenesis of functional dyspepsia remains unclear. Functional dyspepsia may begin after a bout of gastroenteritis (post-infectious functional dyspepsia) or de novo (nonspecific functional dyspepsia). The aim of this study
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate regular non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) users for dyspepsia, as well as to assess the effect of preventive measures, and the reasons for non-adherence to gastroprotective agents (GPA) from a real-world perspective.
METHODS
A prospective longitudinal study was
The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of the IL1B -31C/T polymorphism on gastric inflammatory response and precancerous lesions development - atrophic gastritis (AG) and intestinal metaplasia (IM) - in patients positive for Helicobacter pylori infection with functional
Serum lysozyme was reevaluated in inflammatory bowel disease and other gastrointestinal disorders. A total of 109 patients were divided into six groups: ulcerative colitis (28), Crohn's disease (9), simple atrophic gastritis (16), atrophic gastritis and pernicious anemia (23), functional dyspepsia
The studies were aimed at the assessment of the coexistence of non-ulcer dyspepsia with chronic gastritis and Campylobacter pylori infection, and of the effect of therapy with De-Nol on the course of such disease. The studies involved 50 patients with non-ulcer dyspepsia. Prior to and after the
In order to understand the relation between the prevalence of Campylobacter pylori and the severity of gastritis, we conducted a survey of 166 randomly selected dyspeptic patients. The presence of C. pylori on the antral mucosa was aseptically determined by both urease and bacterial culture tests.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most prescribed group of drugs in the world. They are used primarily for pain relief in chronic inflammatory joint disease and act by inhibiting enzymes COX1 and COX2 and ultimately preventing the production of active prostanoids which are
Helicobacter pylori is the most important cause of gastritis, peptic ulcers and the development of gastric cancer. The chronic active inflammation is dominated by neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells. Several interleukins (IL-8, IL-10 and IFN-gamma) are involved in the inflammatory
BACKGROUND
Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a heterogeneous disorder associated with diverse pathophysiological mechanisms, including immune activation and low-grade mucosal inflammation. Genetic factors, physiological functions, and environmental factors may determine the relative importance of various
