“…Бактерии выделяются в слюне, зубном налете и кале, что предполагает орально-оральный и фе-кально-оральный механизмы передачи. Важное значение имеет внутрисемейное заражение, причем мать играет клю-чевую роль в передаче инфекции детям [20]. По результатам японского исследования, генетический состав штаммов H. pylori был идентичен у 60% детей и матерей [21].…”

Ревматоидный артрит (РА) -хроническое воспалитель-ное соединительнотканное заболевание с прогрессирующей симметричной деструкцией суставов и внесуставными про-явлениями [1]. РА приводит к значительному ухудшению качества жизни и ранней инвалидизации пациентов [2]. Распространенность РА в развитых странах достигает 0,5-1% [3]. Ежегодно количество больных РА возрастает на 3-4%. По данным Минздрава России, заболеваемость насе-ления РА (на 100 тыс.) в 2010 г. составила 198,5, в 2015 г. -201,2, а количество больных с впервые установленным диаг-нозом (на 100 тыс.) в 2010 г. достигло 21,4, в 2015 г. -23,1 [4].Вопрос о причине развития РА остается открытым. Боль-шое внимание уделяется изучению роли не только генетиче-ских, но и инфекционных факторов, инициирующих иммун-ное воспаление и запускающих каскад иммунологических на-рушений, лежащих в основе патогенеза РА.Одним из патогенов, который рассматривается в каче-стве триггерного фактора развития иммунопатологического

“…These findings elucidated the potential risk factors associated with H. pylori infection. Socioeconomic conditions have been strongly related to the acquisition of H. pylori in developed and developing countries, particularly during childhood [23][24][25]. Other risk factors have been shown to be associated with H. pylori infection, such as educational level, income, living standards, such as crowding index, sanitation, and hygiene, and the source of drinking water [25].…”

Helicobacter pylori Infection in Tripoli, North Lebanon: Assessment and Risk Factors

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection occurs among half of the general population worldwide, with high geographic variability. Even though H. pylori is the leading cause of several gastric diseases, ranging from gastritis and peptic ulcers to gastric malignancies, such as gastric cancer and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, most of the infections remain asymptomatic. Early detection and eradication of H. pylori can definitely prevent severe long-term gastric diseases associated with H. pylori. In Lebanon, the prevalence of H. pylori is not well documented, especially in healthy subjects. The aim of this study is to assess H. pylori infections and the associated risk factors in Tripoli, North Lebanon. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 healthy Lebanese volunteers, including both children and adults. The H. pylori stool antigens were detected using the Premier Platinum HpSA test. The socio-demographic data, lifestyle characteristics, and gastrointestinal characteristics of all participants were analyzed. Out of the 300 tested volunteer subjects, 31% were found to be positive for H. pylori. A multivariate binary logistic regression analysis for factors associated with H. pylori infection revealed a significant association between H. pylori infection and gastrointestinal disturbances, the crowding index, and occupation. A significant statistical correlation was found between sheesha smoking (p = 0.001) and H. pylori infection. These findings highlight the need for the development of preventive approaches and strategic indications for the appropriate treatment of H. pylori infections in Tripoli, North Lebanon.

Background/Aims: Workers who are exposed to dust in the workplace tend to show a higher incidence of gastric cancer. Nevertheless, scientific evidence to support an association between dust exposure and the risk of gastric cancer is inadequate. This study aimed to investigate whether or not occupational dust exposure influences the risk of gastric cancer. Methods: We collected the electronic data from the Pneumoconiosis Health Examination (PHE) program, provided by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service from 2002 to 2017. The PHE database was linked to the National Health Insurances databases. The age-standardized incidence ratio (SIR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the risk of gastric cancers were evaluated in workers with occupational dust exposure, and the results were compared to those in the general population. Results: From 2004 to 2015, 1,543 cases of gastric cancer were observed in the male participants, as compared with 1,174 of expected cases, which yielded an SIR of 1.314 (95% CI, 1.249 to 1.380). Under dust exposure, the risk of gastric cancer was increased 23.9% in the male participants (95% CI, 19.9 to 27.5), and the degree of impairment of lung function was inversely related to the risk of gastric cancer. Conclusions: Workers with occupational dust exposure were at higher risk of developing gastric cancer than the general population. Thus, future efforts for the prevention of gastric cancer are necessary for dust exposed workers.
