The Role of Triple Therapy, Age, Gender and Smoking on the Genotoxic Effects of Helicobacter Pylori Infection

Abstract: The role of age, gender and smoking on both the genotoxic effects of Helicobacter pylori and the efficacy of eradication therapy in a group of patients with gastritis was investigated. Gastritis was confirmed by endoscopy and biopsy, and the presence of H. pylori by urease testing. Pre- and post-treatment peripheral blood lymphocyte cultures were prepared from 17 patients and 25 metaphases per patients were analysed for sister chromatid exchange (SCE), a well-established technique for the evaluation of human e… Show more

“…On the other hand, H pylori-positive CAG patients had a higher SCE frequency than H pylori-negative CAG patients. This finding is consistent with the study of Gulten et al [61] . Similarly, H pylori-positive GC patients had a higher SCE frequency than H pylori-negative GC patients.…”

“…Karaman et al (2008) described that gastric cancer and patients with H.pylori infection (9.20 ± 0.94/cell) had a higher SCE frequency than those without H.pylori (7.41 ± 1.36/cell). In gastritis, H.pylori eradication therapy (5.84 ± 1.52/cell) decreased the SCE frequency compared to that of the presence of H.pylori infection (8.94 ± 2.01/cell) (Gulten et al, 2002). In our present study, our results showed no association between the SCE frequency and not only gender, the tumor grade and Lauren's classification, but also H.pylori infection in gastric cancer.…”

“…Recommendations from the recent Maastricht III Consensus Report suggest H. pylori therapy initiation in patients with gastric and peptic ulcer disease, patients with atrophic gastritis, and first-degree relatives of patients with history of gastric cancer. In a study investigating whether risk of gastric cancer is modified in patients with gastritis, however, it was found that male gender and increasing age appeared to be associated with a reduction in the effectiveness of H. pylori treatment (Gulten et al, 2002).…”
