Relationship between primary pathological duodenogastric reflux and chronic inflammation of gastric mucosa / 中华消化杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the association among gastric mucosal lesions caused by primary pathological duodenogastric reflux(DGR),H.pylori infection,and bile reflux.Methods Twenty-four hour intragastric bilirubin monitoring were performed on 58 patients with primary pathological DGR.The patients were divided into high reflux group(n=29)and lOW reflux group(n=29)based on the severity of bile reflux(＜23.60%).The association among gastric mucosal lesions,H.pylori infection,and bile reflux were analyzed.Results The positive rate of H.pylori infection was 20.7% (6/29)in high reflux group and 48.3%(14/29)in low reflux group(P＜0.05).The frequency of intestinal metaplasia in gastric antrum and angularis in high reflux group was higher than that in low reflux group(P＜0.05).The pathological scores of gastric antrum and angularis in H.pylori positive group and high reflux group were higher than those in H.pylori negative group and low reflux group (P＜0.05).The time percentage of bilirubin absorbance≥0.25 in H.pylori positive group was lower than that in negative group(P＜0.05),while the difference in short reflux frequency,long reflux frequency,longest reflux time,maximum,mean and median value of absorbance between H.pylori positive and negative groups showed no significant difference(P＞0.05).The time percentage of bilirubin absorbance≥0.25 was positively correlated with pathological scores of gastric antrum and angularis in both H.pylori positive and negative groups(P＜0.05),but was not correlated with that of gastric body(P＞0.05).Conclusions In patients with primary pathological DGR,excessive bile reflux is related to chronic lesion of gastric mucosa.regardless of H.pylori infection.Bile reflux may inhibit H.pylori to locate in gastric mucosa.H.pylori infection and bile reflux may co-contribute to gastric mucosal lesions.
