Abstract

AIM: To explore the relationship between Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and proliferative activities of gastric mucosa.

METHODS: The date from the 68 cases of chronic gastritis biopsy specimens. The Hp detected by histological methods (wathing- sterry, w.s. Silver-staining and 0.25% Fuchsin Basic staining and PCR techniques. The proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), C-erb-B2 and p53 gene protein expressions were analysed immunochemically (ABC method) Sliver-binding nucleolar regions (AgNOR) were counted.

RESULTS: The Hp positive were 30 cases and Hp negative were 38 cases. The I,II, III, IV degree positive expressions of PCNA were 5, 7, 4, 14 and 27, 11, 0, 0 in Hp positive and Hp negative respectively (P < 0.05). The AgNOR counts of the former significantly more than that of the later (3.44 ± 1. 20 and 1.08 ± 0.08, respectively) (P < 0.05). The C-erb-B2 expressions were negative in non-Hp infected mucosa, but the local positive expressions were found in 4 Hp infected mucosa. The p53 were negative in chronic gastritis whether Hp positive or negative.

CONCLUSION: The proliferative kinetics of Hp infected gastric mucosa increased, that may be one of the risk factors of gastric carcinogenesis
