title: [A study on the pathogenicity of Helicobacter pylori in chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer disease].
abstract: Gastroendoscopic biopsy specimens from 366 patients were stained with HE, Warthin-Starrys or Giemsa and mucin histochemical methods. Positive rate of Helicobacter pylori (HP) was 73.8% in chronic gastritis. Positive rates of HP in gastric ulcer disease were 88.2%, 91.9%, and 11.1% at the near and distant mucosa of ulcer and in duodenitis, respectively. Positive rates of HP in duodenal ulcer disease were 81.5%, 24.6% and 7.2% at the pyloric-antral area and at the near and distant mucosa of duodenal ulcer, respectively. The number of HP in active inflammation was higher than that in inactive inflammation (P < 0.05). The HP almost lived in the neutral mucin. There was no statistical significant difference between near and distant mucosa of ulcer (P > 0.05). HP might play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic gastritis, and it might aggravate the peptic ulcer disease.
