The aim is to study the effect of Helicobacter pylori infection on risk of developing gastroesophageal reflux disease. Materials and methods - cross-sectional observational study of 1007 patients with dyspepsia syndrome who underwent videoesophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy and histological examination of biopsy specimens of the gastric mucosa by OLGA-system. The age, gender, overweight, cigarette smoking, presence of Helicobacter pylori infection and gastritis stage were assessed. Results - the study showed a significant decrease in the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease in patients with positive H. Pylori status by 4% (RR 0,68; 95% CI, 0.49-0.94, p=0,041). The risk of developing gastroesophageal reflux disease significantly higher in overweight (RR 2,62; 95% CI 2,0-3,56; р<0,001) men (RR 1,76; 95% CI 1,33-2,32; р=0,0046) who smoked cigarettes (RR 3,23; 95% CI 2,45-4,24; р<0,001) and was not associated with the patient’s age and the stage of gastritis (р>0,05). Conclusion - a significant reduction in the frequency and risk of developing gastroesophageal reflux disease in patients with Helicobacter pylori infection is demonstrated.

The role of Helicobacter pylori infection in the control of lower esophageal sphincter (LES) motility, especially the occurrence of transient LES relaxations (TLESRs), was studied in eight H. pylori-positive and eight H. pylori-negative healthy subjects. During endoscopy, biopsy specimens were taken from the cardia, fundus, and antrum for determinations of H. pyloristatus, gastritis, and proinflammatory cytokine mucosal concentrations. LES motility was monitored during three different 30-min periods: baseline, gastric distension (barostat), and gastric distension with CCK infusion. Gastric distension significantly increased the TLESR rate, whereas CCK increased the rate of distension-induced TLESRs further and reduced resting LES pressure without significant differences between infected and noninfected subjects. H. pylori status did not influence resting LES pressure or gastric compliance. Cytokine mucosal concentrations were increased in infected patients, but no correlation was found with the TLESR rate, which was also independent of inflammation at the cardia, fundus, and antrum. These results suggest that H. pylori-associated inflammation does not affect the motor events involved in the pathogenesis of gastroesophageal reflux.

ABSTRACT Resistance of Helicobacter pylori to clarithromycin occurs with a prevalence ranging from 0 to 15%. This has an important clinical impact on dual and triple therapies, in which clarithromycin seems to be the better choice to achieve H. pylori eradication. In order to evaluate the possibility of new mechanisms of clarithromycin resistance, a PCR assay that amplified a portion of 23S rRNA from H. pylori isolates was used. Gastric tissue biopsy specimens from 230 consecutive patients were cultured for H. pylori isolation. Eighty-six gastric biopsy specimens yielded H. pylori-positive results, and among these 12 isolates were clarithromycin resistant. The latter were studied to detect mutations in the 23S rRNA gene. Sequence analysis of the 1,143-bp PCR product (portion of the 23S rRNA gene) did not reveal mutation such as that described at position 2142 to 2143. On the contrary, our findings show, for seven isolates, a T-to-C transition at position 2717. This mutation conferred a low level of resistance, equivalent to the MIC for the isolates, selected using the E-test as well as using the agar dilution method: 1 μg/ml. Moreover, T2717C transition is located in a highly conserved region of the 23S RNA associated with functional sites: domain VI. This fact has a strong effect on the secondary structure of the 23S RNA and on its interaction with macrolide. Mutation at position 2717 also generated an HhaI restriction site; therefore, restriction analysis of the PCR product also permits a rapid detection of resistant isolates.
