Little is known about specific bacterial characteristics of () infection influencing gastric carcinogenesis in Zambia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the associations between pre-selected antibodies with gastric cancer, premalignant lesions and active gastritis.
This was cross-sectional study with multiple comparisons of patients with gastric cancer (GC), gastric premalignant (GP) lesions and active or chronic gastritis. A fluorescent bead-based antibody multiplex serology assay was used to quantify antibodies to thirteen immunogenic antigens. Logistic regression models were used to examine the associations.
Included were 295 patients with: 59 GC, 27 GP lesions, 48 active and 161 chronic gastritis. Overall, 257/295 (87%) were positive. seropositivity was not associated with sex, age, body mass index, socio-economic status, HIV infection, alcohol consumption or cigarette smoking (p-values all above 0.05). When compared to the patients with chronic gastritis, the presence of catalase and cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (Cad) antibodies was positively associated with GP lesions (OR 3.53; 95% CI 1.52-8.17 and OR 2.47; 95% CI 1.08-5.67 respectively). However, seropositivity to Cad antibodies was significantly lower in GC patients (OR 0.28; 95% CI 0.09-0.83). Compared to chronic, active gastritis was significantly associated with (p<0.05) sero-positivity (OR 9.46; 95% CI 1.25-71.52) and specific antibodies including cytotoxin-associated gene A, vacuolating cytotoxin A, -rich protein C, hypothetical protein HP0305 and outer membrane protein HP1564.
Among Zambian patients seen at a single center, antibodies to (CagA, VacA, Omp, HcpC, HP0305 and HpaA) were associated with active gastritis.
关于影响赞比亚胃部癌变的 () 感染的具体细菌特征知之甚少。本研究的目的是评估与胃癌、癌前病变和活动性胃炎相关的预先选定的 抗体。
这是一项具有多项比较的病例对照研究,包括胃癌(GC)、胃前病变(GP)和活动性或慢性胃炎患者。采用荧光珠基于抗体的多重血清学检测方法来定量 13 种免疫原性 抗原的抗体。使用逻辑回归模型来检查关联。
共纳入 295 例患者:59 例 GC、27 例 GP 病变、48 例活动性胃炎和 161 例慢性胃炎。总体而言,257/295(87%)为 阳性。 血清阳性与性别、年龄、体重指数、社会经济地位、HIV 感染、饮酒或吸烟无关(p 值均大于 0.05)。与慢性胃炎患者相比,存在过氧化氢酶和肉桂醇脱氢酶(Cad)抗体与 GP 病变呈正相关(OR 3.53;95%CI 1.52-8.17 和 OR 2.47;95%CI 1.08-5.67)。然而,Cad 抗体血清阳性在 GC 患者中显著降低(OR 0.28;95%CI 0.09-0.83)。与慢性胃炎相比,活动性胃炎与 血清阳性(OR 9.46;95%CI 1.25-71.52)和特定抗体(包括细胞毒素相关基因 A、空泡细胞毒素 A、富含蛋白 C、假设蛋白 HP0305 和外膜蛋白 HP1564)显著相关(p<0.05)。
在赞比亚的一个单一中心就诊的患者中, (CagA、VacA、Omp、HcpC、HP0305 和 HpaA)抗体与活动性胃炎相关。
