Abstract

Helicobacter pylori infection induces a local pro-inflammatory cytokine response. The secretion of IL-8 by epithelialcells is probably a key factor in host defenses at mucosal sites, permitting a rapid polymorph response against infectious agents.Interleukin-8 is an important chemotactic and activating factor for neutrophils. If defense mechanisms fail and chronic infectionresults, continued up regulation of IL-8 and neutrophil activation could lead to mucosal damage and increased free radicalformation. Mucosal IL-8 production in Helicobacter pylori infection may be an important factor in the immunopathogenesisof gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. This study aim to investigate correlation between IL-8 and severity of gastritis in ourpopulation. We performed a cross-sectional analytic study in Helicobacter pylori infected patients. Severity of gastritis wasdetermined base on The Updated Sydney System. IL-8 level was analyzed from gastric mucosa biopsy using ELISA method.We included 65 samples. 31 (47.7%) men and the rest was women. Base on Kruskalwallis test we found significant associationbetween IL-8 gastric mucosa and severity of gastritis (x2 = 12.8; p = 0.002). We also found significant association between IL-8gastric mucosa and density of H pylori infection (x2 = 10.6; p = 0.01), severity of atrophy (x2 = 9.4; p = 0.02) and neutrophilscount (x2 = 11.0; p = 0.01). But notmethaplasia (x2 = 3.3; p = 0.18). Base on this study we concluded that IL-8 was associatedwith severity of gastritis in Helicobacter pylori infected patients.

Abstract

Bacterial infections are common complications in cirrhosis, and cause the systemic in! ammation process. The natureof the relationship between gastrointestinal bleeding and infection in cirrhosis has not been clari" ed. Infection is associatedwith failure to control variceal bleeding and early variceal rebleeding in these patients. Bacterial infections, and particularlyendotoxemia, have been shown to activate the coagulation system and generally to interfere with hemostasis. We performedcross-sectional analytic study in cirrhosis patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding to assess whether there are any associationbetween in! ammation process (CRP) with defect in haemostatic system (prolongation in prothrombin time). Forty-nine patientswere evaluated, 37 (75.5%) out of these were male and the rest were female. Ninteen out of this with in! ammation process and30 without in! ammation process. Fourteen out of 19 patients (73.7%) in in! ammation group have prolongation on prothrombintime and 12 out of 30 patients (40%) in non in! ammation group have prolongation on prothrombin time. The difference of thisproportion statistically signi" cant (Chi-square test X2: 5.29; p = 0.021). The CRP also have positive correlation with prolongationin prothrombin time (Spearman correlation R = 0.390; p = 0.006). In conclusion there is signi" cant association between CRP andprothrombin time in cirrhosis patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
