摘要
AIM： To investigate the relationship between myeloperoxidase polymorphisms as a host-related factor and atrophy caused by H pylori. METHODS： Our study enrolled 77 patients. Biopsy materials obtained during gastrointestinal endoscopies were evaluated for the presence of H pylori. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay was used to characterize myeloperoxidase genothpes. RESULTS： Forty four patients （57.1%） were lip （＋） and 33 （42.9%） were Hp （-）. Sixty six （85.7%） had GG genotype, 10 （12.9%） had GA genotype and 1 （1.29%） had AA genotype. The change in atrophy in relation to neutrophil infiltration was significant in Hp （＋） patients （P = 0.0001）. The change in atrophy in relation to neutrophil infiltration in patients with GG genotype was significant （P = 0.002）. However, the change in atrophy in relation to neutrophil infiltration was not significiant in patients with Hp （＋） GG genotype （r = 0.066, P = 0.63）. CONCLUSION： Myeloperoxidase genotype is critical for development of atrophy in relation to the severity of inflammation. However, it is interesting to note that, H pylori does not show any additive effect on development of atrophy.
