Title: Observation of pathopoiesis of Helicobacter pylori in gastric mucosal lesion of patients with liver cirrhosis
Abstract: Objective To probe the role of Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection in gastric mucosal lesion in patients with liver cirrhosis(LC).Methods Gastroscopy was performed in 204 LC patients and 236 no-LC patients.Hp infection was verified by rapid urease test and Warthin-Starry silver stainning.Results The Hp infection rate in LC patients with portal hypertensive gastropath(PHG)and with hepatogenic ulcer(HPU)was 30.69% and 42.42%,respectively,no significant difference was found between patients with gastric mucosal lesion and without gastric mucosal lesion(P0.05).The Hp infection rate in LC patients(34.31%) was significantly less than that in no-LC patients (48.31,P0.01).Conclusion Hp infection might not be the main etiological factor for gastric mucosal lesion seen in LC patient.
