[Zhongxu-qizhi type of chronic gastritis and Campylobacter pyloridis infection].
According to the syndrome differentiation of TCM, one hundred cases of chronic gastritis were recognized as Zhongxu-Qizhi type (Group I, 57 cases) and the other types (Group II, 43 cases), the latter further divided into 36 cases of disharmony of Liver and Stomach type and 7 cases of deficiency of Stomach Yin type. The pathohistological investigation and urease test showed that the campylobacter pyloridis (CP) infected rate in the Group I (92.9%) was very significantly higher than that in Group II (58.1%, P less than 0.01); severe degree and deep location of CP infection occurred more significantly in Zhongxu-Qizhi type (52.8% and 73.6% respectively). Between the two groups, active chronic gastritis and severe invasion of polymorphonuclear cells were significantly different (P less than 0.05). All these findings suggest that there were some relationships between CP infection and syndrome differentiation of TCM.
