To determine whether Helicobacter pylori releases cysteamine into gastric juice as cysteamine is known to be ulcerogenic.
Samples of fasting gastric juice were collected from 22 individuals (four women); 10 subjects were H pylori negative. The presence of infection was confirmed by examination and culture of gastric biopsies. Cysteamine in gastric juice was measured by reversed phase gradient high performance liquid chromatography with a detection limit of 10 mumol/l.
Cysteamine was not detected in any of the gastric juice samples or in extracts of cultured H pylori.
If H pylori produces cysteamine then the amounts produced are insignificant and are unlikely to explain the association between H pylori infection and the development of duodenal ulcer disease.
已知半胱胺具有致溃疡作用,本研究旨在确定幽门螺杆菌是否会向胃液中释放半胱胺。
收集了22名个体(4名女性)的空腹胃液样本;其中10名受试者幽门螺杆菌检测为阴性。通过胃活检组织检查和培养确认感染情况。采用反相梯度高效液相色谱法测定胃液中的半胱胺,检测限为10 μmol/L。
在任何胃液样本或培养的幽门螺杆菌提取物中均未检测到半胱胺。
如果幽门螺杆菌产生半胱胺,那么产生的量极少,不太可能解释幽门螺杆菌感染与十二指肠溃疡疾病发生之间的关联。
