Abstract
As a Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) colonizes and thrives in the gastric mucosa. To enable early detection and treatment of H. pylori infection through exploring the clinical value of white light gastroscope endoscopic features in diagnosing H. pylori. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 968 patients who underwent routine gastroscopy over a 2-year period (March 1st, 2021-March 1st, 2023). A significant association was observed between H. pylori infection and age (p < 0.001), family history of H. pylori infection (p < 0.001), and gastric symptoms (p < 0.001). White light gastroscope findings demonstrated that diffuse erythema (p < 0.001), spotted redness (p < 0.001), mucosal swelling (p < 0.001), elongated and enlarged folds (p < 0.001), digestive tract ulcers (p < 0.001), proliferative polyps (p = 0.018), and erosions with depression (p < 0.001) were more frequent in H. pylori-infected individuals. Conversely, old bleeding spots (p = 0.003), gastric fundic glandular polyps (p = 0.048), and regular arrangement of collecting venules (RAC) (p < 0.001) were less common in H. pylori-infected patients. Diffuse erythema (odds ratio [OR] = 3.84, p = 0.002), spotted redness (OR = 2.63, p = 0.008), mucosal swelling (OR = 1.97, p = 0.007), elongated and enlarged folds (OR = 2.15, p = 0.015), digestive tract ulcers (OR = 1.49, p = 0.036), and erosions with depression (OR = 1.86, p = 0.022) were identified as independent risk factors for H. pylori infection, while the RAC served as a protective factor.
期刊介绍:
Foodborne Pathogens and Disease is one of the most inclusive scientific publications on the many disciplines that contribute to food safety. Spanning an array of issues from "farm-to-fork," the Journal bridges the gap between science and policy to reduce the burden of foodborne illness worldwide.
Foodborne Pathogens and Disease coverage includes:
Agroterrorism
Safety of organically grown and genetically modified foods
Emerging pathogens
Emergence of drug resistance
Methods and technology for rapid and accurate detection
Strategies to destroy or control foodborne pathogens
Novel strategies for the prevention and control of plant and animal diseases that impact food safety
Biosecurity issues and the implications of new regulatory guidelines
Impact of changing lifestyles and consumer demands on food safety.
