RACIONAL: A aderência do Helicobacter pylori à mucosa gástrica humana é pré-requisito para sua colonização e o desenvolvimento da gastrite crônica. Os antígenos de grupos sangüíneos, presentes no muco gástrico, são descritos como prováveis receptores da bactéria neste epitélio. A expressão alterada destes antígenos está associada ao desenvolvimento do câncer gástrico. OBJETIVOS: Verificar a ocorrência do Helicobacter pylori e a distribuição da expressão dos antígenos ABH e Lewis correlacionada com as alterações histopatológicas de pacientes com gastrite crônica. PACIENTES E MÉTODOS: Analisaram-se 63 amostras de sangue, saliva e biopsias gástricas de pacientes com gastrite crônica através das técnicas dot-blot-ELISA, imunoperoxidase indireta e colorações do Gram modificado e hematoxilina-eosina. RESULTADOS: Não foram encontradas associações significativas entre a presença da bactéria e os fenótipos de grupos sangüíneos ABH, Lewis e Secretor. Na maioria dos pacientes, a expressão dos antígenos ABH e Lewis, estava restrita principalmente ao epitélio foveolar da mucosa gástrica, concordando com a expressão ao nível salivar. A expressão inapropriada desses antígenos ocorria sempre na infecção pelo Helicobacter pylori e/ou alterações pré-neoplásicas da mucosa gástrica. Em áreas com metaplasia intestinal foi observada a redução da reatividade para os antígenos H e Leb, e principalmente o aumento de Leª. CONCLUSÃO: Alterações no padrão de glicosilação destes antígenos refletem diferentes estágios de diferenciação celular e são marcadores potenciais na avaliação diagnóstica e prognóstica das patologias gástricas.

CONTEXTO: A neoplasia gástrica é a segunda causa mais comum de morte por câncer no mundo e o H. pylori é classificado como carcinógeno humano tipo I pela Organização Mundial de Saúde. Entretanto, apesar da elevada prevalência da infecção pelo H. pylori em todo mundo, menos de 3% de indivíduos portadores dessa bactéria desenvolvem neoplasias gástricas. Tal fato indica que a evolução para malignização possa estar associada a fatores bacterianos, do hospedeiro e do ambiente. OBJETIVOS: Investigou-se a associação do polimorfismo da região promotora do gene IL-8 (-251) e do genótipo do H. pylori, baseado nos alelos vacA e na presença do gene cagA, com a clínica e os dados histopatológicos. MÉTODOS: Em estudo prospectivo, 102 pacientes com câncer gástrico e 103 voluntários saudáveis foram analisados. O polimorfismo da IL-8 (-251) foi determinado pela reação de PCR-RFLP e sequenciamento. Para genotipagem dos alelos vacA e do gene cagA das cepas bacterianas foi utilizada a PCR. As biopsias gástricas foram avaliadas histologicamente. RESULTADOS: A sorologia para o H. pylori foi positiva em 101 (99%) de todos os pacientes analisados, e 98 (97%) deles foram colonizados por apenas uma cepa bacteriana. Em pacientes com monoinfecção, 82 (84%) das cepas bacterianas observadas apresentavam o genótipo s1b/m1. O gene cagA foi detectado em 74 (73%) dos pacientes infectados pelo H. pylori. A presença do gene cagA demonstrou estar associada com a presença do genótipo s1b/m1 do gene vacA (P = 0,002). Quanto ao polimorfismo do gene da IL-8 (-251), observou-se que os genótipos AA (P = 0,026) e AT (P = 0,005) foram mais frequentes no grupo de pacientes com adenocarcinoma gástrico. Comparando os diferentes tipos de cepas bacterianas isoladas, com o polimorfismo do gene da IL-8-251 e dados histopatológicos, observou-se que, portadores do alelo A (AT e AA) infectados por cepas virulentas (m1s1 cagA+), demonstraram risco aumentado de apresentar maior grau de inflamação (OR = 24,75 IC 95% 2,29-267,20 P = 0,004) e aumento da atividade neutrofílica (OR = 28,71 IC 95% 2.62-314 P = 0,002) na mucosa gástrica. CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados demonstram que a interação entre o polimorfismo do gene da IL-8, particularmente em portadores do alelo A, e o tipo de cepa infectante do H. pylori (s1m1 cagA positiva) desempenha importante função no desenvolvimento do câncer gástrico.

Background and Objectives — Considering the high prevalence of stomach cancer in the northern region of Brazil and the recognized relationship between chronic gastric inflammation caused by Helicobacter pylori, and its carcinogenic potential, the objective we had with this study was to investigate the presence of the microorganism in macro and microscopic presentations of neoplasm in different regions of the stomach, and in non-malignant lesions concomitant to the adenocarcinoma in patients originating from the metropolitan area of Belém (State of Pará, Brazil). Methods - Examinations were made on 172 patients divided into two groups: group I, formed by 75 patients with gastric carcinoma, and group II, formed by 97 patients with mild enanthematic gastritis, considered control group. The diagnosis was obtained during endoscopic examination and the respective biopsy. Gastric neoplasms were classified macroscopically in accordance with Borrmann's classification, and microscopically in accordance with Laurén's classification. In group I, 54 patients were male and 21 female while in group II, 22 patients were male and 75 female. The average age in group I was 61.2 years (range 27 to 86 years), while in group II it was 37.5 years (range 16 to 69 years). Thin sections were prepared and stained using the hematoxylin-eosin method. In the Helicobacter pylori research, the modified Gram stain was utilized. Statistical analysis was done by utilizing the chi-squared (c 2) test, Mann-Whitney test (U), and Fisher's exact test. Results - The results showed the detection of Helicobacter pylori were significantly greater in patients with mild enanthematic gastritis than in patients with gastric carcinoma. The presence of Helicobacter pylori in patients with gastric carcinoma and mild enanthematic gastritis was significantly greater in the antral region than in other gastric regions. Helicobacter pylori detection in patients with gastric carcinoma did not present a significant difference in relation to the macroscopic aspect of the tumor either intestinal or diffuse histological types. Conclusions - These data suggest the presence of the bacteria is predominant in the antral region and it does not show relation with the macroscopic types or histological intestinal or diffuse types of gastric carcinoma.

Background There are limited studies on the prevalence and risk factors associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Objective Identify the prevalence and risk factors for HCV infection in university employees of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods Digital serological tests for anti-HCV have been performed in 3153 volunteers. For the application of digital testing was necessary to withdraw a drop of blood through a needlestick. The positive cases were performed for genotyping and RNA. Chi-square and Fisher’s exact test were used, with P-value <0.05 indicating statistical significance. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were also used. Results Prevalence of anti-HCV was 0.7%. The risk factors associated with HCV infection were: age >40 years, blood transfusion, injectable drugs, inhalable drugs (InDU), injectable Gluconergam®, glass syringes, tattoos, hemodialysis and sexual promiscuity. Age (P=0.01, OR 5.6, CI 1.4 to 22.8), InDU (P<0.0001, OR=96.8, CI 24.1 to 388.2), Gluconergam® (P=0.0009, OR=44.4, CI 4.7 to 412.7) and hemodialysis (P=0.0004, OR=90.1, CI 7.5 – 407.1) were independent predictors. Spatial analysis of the prevalence with socioeconomic indices, Gross Domestic Product and Human Development Index by the geoprocessing technique showed no positive correlation. Conclusions The prevalence of HCV infection was 0.7%. The independent risk factors for HCV infection were age, InDU, Gluconergan® and hemodialysis. There was no spatial correlation of HCV prevalence with local economic factors.

Electromanometric measures of the gastroesophageal junction were performed in 20 adult, male and female, anesthetised opossums. The electromanometric examinations were performed according the intermitent pull through technique. The research was divided in four groups, according to the drug to be analysed: group 1 (20 animals) IM injection of physiological solution (control group); group 2 (20 animals) IM injection of metoclopramide; group 3 (20 animals) IM injection of ranitidine; group 4 (20 animals) IM injection of droperidol. Electromanometry was done 15 minutes before the drug injection, just after the injection and 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes after the injection. In each one of the moments the pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES-mmHg) was analysed. Considering LES pressure the results observed were: in group 1 it was not observed any significative alteration after IM injection of physiologic solution; in group 2 it was observed significative pressure increase, 15 minutes after metoclopramide IM injection; in group 3 it was observed pressure increase, being significative at 15 and 30 minutes after IM injection; in group 4 it was observed significative increase in LES pressure in every moment, 15 minutes after droperidol IM injection.
