Forty-four patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) were included in this study. Radionuclide-labelled solid meals were used to calculate gastric emptying times (GETs). The carbon-14 urea breath test (14C-UBT) was used to diagnose Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. The patients were separated into groups according to the following two criteria: (1) HP infection was diagnosed on the basis of a 14C-UBT value of > or = 1.5; (2) the GET was defined as abnormal when it was > or = 117.1 min. The results showed that 61% (27/44) of the NIDDM patients had an HP infection, and 59% (26/44) had an abnormal GET. The incidence of abnormal GET in positive 14C-UBT patients (62%) was higher than that in negative 14C-UBT patients (56%). Similarly, the incidence of positive 14C-UBT in abnormal GET cases (62%) was higher than that in normal GET cases (56%). However, according to chi-square tests the differences were not significant. In conclusion, no significant relationship between HP infection and GET was found in patients with NIDDM.
本研究纳入了44例非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病(NIDDM)患者。使用放射性核素标记的固体餐来计算胃排空时间(GETs)。采用碳-14尿素呼气试验(14C-UBT)诊断幽门螺杆菌(HP)感染。根据以下两个标准将患者分组:(1)14C-UBT值≥1.5时诊断为HP感染;(2)GET≥117.1分钟时定义为异常。结果显示,61%(27/44)的NIDDM患者有HP感染,59%(26/44)的GET异常。14C-UBT阳性患者中GET异常的发生率(62%)高于14C-UBT阴性患者(56%)。同样,GET异常病例中14C-UBT阳性的发生率(62%)高于GET正常病例(56%)。然而,根据卡方检验,差异无统计学意义。总之,在NIDDM患者中未发现HP感染与GET之间存在显著关系。
