METHODS:Endoscopic biopsies were obtained from 57 patients after partial gastric resection for histological examination using hematoxylin/eosin and Warthin-Starry staining.Gastritis was graded according to the updated Sydney system.Severity of corpus gastritis was compared between Hpylori-positive partial gastrectomy patients and Hpylori-positive duodenal ulcer patients matched for age and gender. RESULTS:In partial gastrectomy patients,surgery was performed 20 years(median)prior to evaluation.In 25 patients(43.8%)Hpyloriwas detected histologically in the gastric remnant.Gastric atrophy was more common in H pylori-positive compared to H pylori-negative partial gastrectomy patients(P<0.05).The severity of corpus gastritis was significantly lower in Hpylori-positive partial gastrectomy patients compared to duodenal ulcer patients (P<0.01).There were no significant differences in the activity of gastritis,atrophy and intestinal metaplasia between the two groups. CONCLUSION:The long-term prevalence of Hpylorigastritis in the gastric corpus of patients who underwent partial gastric resection due to peptic ulcer disease is comparable to the general population.The expression of Hpylorigastritis in the gastric remnant does not resemble the gastric cancer phenotype.展开更多
