Background: Helicobacter pylori is found in more than 90% cases of peptic ulcer. This study examines the possibility of association of Helicobacter pylori in perforated peptic ulcer disease and its relation to persisting ulcer as well as the influence of other risk factors; namely: smoking, alcohol, current non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and steroid use. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, total of 50 cases of peptic ulcer perforation admitted in College of Medical Sciences and Teaching Hospital, Bharatpur, Nepal were selected on the basis of the non-probability (purposive) sampling method. All patients who presented with suspected peptic ulcer perforation were included in the study and the perforations were repaired by Modified Graham’s Patch and were given triple therapy postoperatively. The age, sex, incidence, mode of presentation, precipitating factors, association with the risk factors and postoperative complications were all evaluated and compared. Results: Of 50 patients studied, the age ranged from 17 to 75 years, mean age being 40.1 years with the peak incidence in the 3rd and 5th decades of life showing a male dominance (92%). H. pylori was seen in ulcer edge biopsy in 29 patients (58%). Most common clinical presentation was pain abdomen, the most common signs of perforation were tenderness, rebound tenderness and absent bowel sounds. The mean duration of stay in hospital in H. pylori positive patients was 12.07±8.15 days as compared with 11.1±5.12 days in H. pylori negative patients. The incidence of peptic ulcer perforation was higher in the patients consuming alcohol (64%) than smokers (48%), followed by NSAIDs user(22%). 20% of the patients with delayed presentation developed complications postoperatively. Perforated peptic ulcer was repaired by Modified Graham’s Patch Repair, followed by anti H. pylori therapy in all of them. Conclusion: Peptic ulcer perforation is quite common among the patients with peptic ulcer disease with history of chronic smoking, alcoholism and analgesic intake, more commonly in males. There is association of H. pylori in 58% of patients with peptic ulcer perforation.

Background: Helicobacter pylori have an important role in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer disease. The aim of the present study was to observe the prevalence of H. pylori in peptic ulcer perforation cases and the rationale of H. pylori eradication therapy post operatively and to investigate factors associated with peptic ulcer.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of general surgery, Government Medical College, Kottayam for a period 20 months from March 2012 to October 2013 after getting approval from institutional ethics committee. A total of 113 patients were participated in the study after meeting inclusion criteria. After getting written consent from the patients with perforated peptic ulcer, resuscitation and laparotomy was performed in the emergency department. H. pyloriinfection was confirmed by histopathological examination by Giemsa staining. Based on the histopathological report, the prevalence of H. pylori infection in the patients was assessed and was given appropriate H. pylori eradication regimen.Results: The mean age of presentation of the patients was 52.81±14.5 years. Male to female ratio was 4.14:1. Out of 113 cases, 67 cases (59.3%) had duodenal ulcer perforation while 46 cases (40.7%) had gastric ulcer perforation. Of them 53(46.9%) cases were positive H. pylori positive. No significant association was found between the incidence of H. pylori infection in peptic ulcers with smoking, hypertension, diet intake, NSAIDS intake. In our study association between H. pylori and diabetes mellitus (p=0.02) found to be significant which can be further investigated.Conclusion: According to our study the prevalence of H. pylori infection in perforated peptic ulcer disease is 47% which must be considered as significant. Hence all the patients undergoing laparotomy for peptic ulcer perforation should be investigated for H. pylori infection and if positive we must start the anti H. pylori regimen for them, which is more cost effective.

Background: Although the role of Helicobacter pylori infection in noncomplicated peptic ulcer disease has been definitively established, the precise relationship between the organism and ulcer complications is doubtful. Recurrent ulcer disease after peptic ulcer perforation mainly occurs in patients with H. pylori infection, which suggests that the microorganism plays an important role in this complication.Methods: This observational study was conducted in the Department of General Surgery, Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences (HIMS), Swami Ram Nagar, Dehradun, over a period of January 2013 to December 2013 and included 75 subjects who underwent exploratory laparotomy for peptic ulcer perforation. The tests used for the diagnosis of H. pylori are mucosal biopsy at the time of surgery, Rapid urease test (RUT), Stool antigen test.Results: In this study, H. pylori infection was found to be present in 61% of these patients as detected by biopsy. There were 66 males and 9 females. Infection with H. pylori is almost universal in patients aged more than 70 years.Conclusions: In the Indian context patients presenting with perforation should be tested for infection with H. pylori utilizing a gastric antral mucosal biopsy taken at the time of operation for histological analysis and eradication therapy should be advised to all those who are found positive.

ABSTRACT Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) occurs after a long-term Helicobacter pylori infection. However, the disease can develop earlier, and rare cases have been observed in children, suggesting that these H. pylori strains may be more virulent. We used suppressive subtractive hybridization for comparative genomics between H. pylori strains isolated from a 5-year-old child with duodenal ulcer and from a sex- and age-matched child with gastritis only. The prevalence of the 30 tester-specific subtracted sequences was determined on a collection of H. pylori strains from children (15 ulcers and 30 gastritis) and from adults (46 ulcers and 44 gastritis). Two of these sequences, jhp0562 (80.0% versus 33.3%, P = 0.008) and jhp0870 (80.0% versus 36.7%, P = 0.015), were highly associated with PUD in children and a third sequence, jhp0828, was less associated (40.0% versus 10.0%, P = 0.048). Among adult strains, none of the 30 sequences was associated with PUD. However, both jhp0562 and jhp0870 were less prevalent in adenocarcinoma strains than in PUD strains from children and adults, the difference being statistically significant for jhp0870. In conclusion, two H. pylori genes were identified as being strongly associated with PUD in children, and their putative roles as an outer membrane protein for jhp0870 and in lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis for jhp0562, suggest that they may be novel virulence factors of H. pylori.

Aim: To study the association of Helicobacter pylori infection with chronic antral gastritis in peptic ulcer disease patients and healthy population of Kashmir.Methods: 50 peptic ulcer patients (duodenal ulcer = 46, gastric ulcer = 2 and combined duodenal and gastric ulcer = 2) and 30 asymptomatic healthy volunteers were included in this study. Peptic ulcer was diagnosed on endoscopic examination. 4–6 punch biopsies were taken from gastric antrum in all the individuals and in case of gastric ulcer an additional biopsy was taken from the edge of the ulcer to exclude its malignant nature. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) organism was diagnosed using three different test methods, viz. Histology (using Giemsa Stain), Microbiology (Gram Stain) and Biochemistry (using one minute Endoscopy Room Test). Histological diagnosis of H. pylori was taken as the “gold standard” for the presence of H. pylori organism. Histological diagnosis of gastritis was made using Hematoxylin and Eosin Stain and the gastritis was classified as active chronic gastritis and superficial chronic gastritis.Results: Out of 30 peptic ulcer disease patients with associated antral gastritis, 27 (90%) were positive for H. pylori on histological examination (13 superficial chronic gastritis and 14 active chronic gastritis) whereas out of 8 healthy volunteers with histological evidence of chronic antral gastritis, H. pylori was observed in 7 individuals (87.50%) (4 active chronic gastritis and 3 superficial chronic gastritis).Conclusion: A highly significant association between H. pylori infection with chronic antral gastritis both in peptic ulcer disease patients and healthy volunteers of Kashmir was found in this study. Association between H. pylori infection and chronic gastritis was 90% in peptic ulcer group and 87.50% in healthy population (P<0.005).

Abstract Backgrounds: Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a common gastrointestinal tract disease characterized by mucosal damage secondary to pepsin and gastric acid secretion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the five-year recurrence rate for treated patients with PUD and risk factors contributing to PUD relapses.Methods: From 2016 through 2021, all patients with endoscopy-proved PUD were identified by reviewing medical records (Best-Care system). Possible risk factors including smoking, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), aspirin, alcohol, caffeine, and steroid were analyzed by univariate analysis. Treatment outcomes, 5-year recurrence rate, and mortality rate were assessed.Results: Among 223 patients, there were 187 (83.8%), who diagnosed endoscopy-proved PUD and 36 (16.2%), who diagnosed clinical PUD. Among them, 126 (56.5%) patients were males and the mean age was 62±2 years. The five years recurrence rate of PUD was 30.9%. There was no significant difference in the recurrence rate between the duodenal ulcer (33.3%) and the gastric ulcer (28.8%). By univariate analysis, the use of steroid and NSAID and H. pylori infection were potential risk factors for PUD (P < 0.005). The common complication of PUD was gastrointestinal bleeding (34.1%). Patients who had a complicated PUD were associated with a higher rate of recurrence (45.9%) compared to the uncomplicated PUD (19.2%) (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that the five years recurrence rate of PUD was 30.9%. The use of steroid and NSAID and H. pylori infection were risk factors for recurrence of PUD. PUD places a significant burden on health care systems. Therefore, a multicenter prospective study is needed for effective management to prevent recurrence and complications of PUD.

The results of PCR-based molecular typing of Helicobacter pylori strains by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of a 1,161-bp nucleotide sequence of the midregion of thevacA gene are reported. A total of 48 H. pylori strains isolated from gastric biopsy specimens obtained from 18 patients with peptic ulcer dyspepsia, 15 patients with nonulcer dyspepsia, and 15 asymptomatic H. pylori-infected subjects were studied. Highly heterogeneous restriction patterns were obtained by digestion of PCR products with SauII,BglII, and HhaI, whereas HaeIII digestion resulted in a strictly homogeneous profile for H. pylori strains isolated from 14 of 18 (77.7%) patients with peptic ulcer dyspepsia, but a strictly homogeneous profile was found for strains from only 8 of 15 (53.3%) patients with nonulcer dyspepsia (P = 0.163) and 5 of 15 (33.3%) asymptomaticH. pylori-infected subjects (P = 0.014). A potentially important aspect of the results obtained is the clinical relevance, since a single restriction pattern seems to be able to identify the majority of H. pylori strains associated with peptic ulcer disease.

Background: Peptic ulcer disease is very common disease in developing countries and so are its complications. With the introduction of H2 receptor antagonists and proton pump inhibitors, the incidence of elective surgery for peptic ulcer (PU) disease has decreased dramatically, although complications of peptic ulcer disease such as perforation and bleeding have remained fairly constant.Methods: A prospective study was conducted on43 patients presenting to KIMS Hospital, Hubli with features suggestive of hollow viscus perforation and intraoperative findings suggestive of peptic ulcer perforation from January 2015 to June 2016.Results: In this study, there were 43 cases of peptic ulcer perforation. Peptic ulcer perforation was common in third decade of life(n=12) with the mean age(SD) 39.88 years. Perforation is more common in males as compared to the female population 7.6:1. Post-operative morbidity is seen in 31 (72.1%) of patients and mortality in 4 (9.3%). Smoking, Alcohol beverage consumption, regular ingestion of NSAIDs were commonly seen in patients with peptic ulcer perforation but these factors were not significant risk factors for postoperative mortality and morbidity. Age ≥60 years (p-value 0.051), Female gender (p-value 0.012), Presence of co-morbid conditions (p-value 0.055), Shock on admission (p-value 0.029, perforation-surgery interval >24 hours (p-value 0.001), preoperative higher-grade ASA, purulent intraperitoneal collection (p-value 0.002) were statistically significant predictors of mortality.Conclusions: Perforated peptic ulcer (PPU) is a life-threatening disease with historically reported high morbidity and mortality rates. Age ≥60 years, female gender, presence of co-morbidities, preoperative shock, higher ASA grade, perforation-surgery interval >24 hours, Purulent intraperitoneal collection are inter-related statistically significant predictors of mortality. Therefore, proper resuscitation from shock, improving ASA grade and decreasing delay in surgery is needed to improve overall results.
