Abstract
Purpose The incidence of gastroparesis is higher in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared to the healthy individuals. Our study aimed to explore the risk factors for gastroparesis in T2DM and to establish a clinical prediction model (nomogram). Methods Our study enlisted 694 patients with T2DM from two medical centers over a period of time. From January 2020 to December 2022, 347 and 149 patients were recruited from the Beilun branch of Zhejiang University's First Affiliated Hospital in the training and internal validation cohorts, respectively. The external validation cohort consisted of 198 patients who were enrolled at Nanchang University's First Affiliated Hospital from October 2020 to September 2021. We conducted univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses to select the risk factors for gastroparesis in patients with T2DM; subsequently,we developed a nomogram model. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis(DCA). Results Four clinical variables, including age, regular exercise, glycated hemoglobin level(HbA1c), and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, were identified and included in the model. The model demonstrated excellent discrimination, with an AUC of 0.951 (95% CI = 0.925-0.978) in the training group, and 0.910 (95% CI = 0.859-0.961) and 0.875 (95% CI = 0.813-0.937) in the internal and external validation groups, respectively. The calibration curve showed good consistency between prediction of the model and observed gastroparesis. The DCA also demonstrated good clinical efficacy. Conclusion The nomogram model developed in this study showed good performance in predicting gastroparesis in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to analyse the consistency of reports suggesting the role of Diabetes Mellitus in the pathogenesis of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). RECENT FINDINGS There have been numerous controversies citing the prevalence of H. pylori infections in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This review investigates the possible crosstalk between H. pylori infections and T2DM and also designs a meta-analysis to quantify the association. Subgroup analyses have also been conducted to deduce factors like geography and testing techniques, in playing a role in stratification analysis. Based on a scientific literature survey and meta-analysis of databases from 1996 to 2022, a trend towards more frequent H. pylori infections in patients with diabetes mellitus was observed. The highly diversified nature of H. pylori infections across age, gender, and geographical regions requires large interventional studies to evaluate its long-term association with diabetes mellitus. Further possible linkage of the prevalence of diabetes mellitus concomitant with that of H. pylori infected patients has also been delineated in the review.

Abstract
A number of studies has confirmed that the epidemiology of Helicobacter pylori is changing worldwide, with a decrease especially in developed countries. Nevertheless, since this gram-negative bacterium infects almost 50% of the world's population, it remains a global problem. Beyond its role in the pathogenesis of the main gastroduodenal diseases, including gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer, Helicobacter pylori has been suspected to be involved in several extra-gastroduodenal disorders. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) present gastric mucosal injuries and dyspepsia more often than the general population. However, the reported relationship between CKD and Helicobacter pylori infection is conflicting. In fact, in this population these conditions have a multifactorial pathogenesis and Helicobacter pylori infection could play a limited role in their development. Nevertheless, while it seems that the prevalence of the bacterium is lower in patients with CKD than in controls, Helicobacter pylori has been shown to be associated to an increased occurrence of proteinuria in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This narrative review analyzes the results of recent literature in this field with particular focus on data reported by meta-analyses.

Abstract
Background There are several studies with varied and mixed results about the possible relationship between H. pylori and diabetes. Therefore, this current meta-analysis performed to determine the association between H. pylori infection and the risk of diabetes mellitus. Methods A systematic literature searches of international databases, including Medline (PubMed), Web of Sciences, Scopus, EMBASE, and CINHAL (January 1990–March 2019) was conducted to identify studies investigating the relationship between H. pylori infection and diabetes mellitus. Only case–control studies were analyzed using odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Stratified and subgroup analyses were performed to explore heterogeneity between studies and assess effects of study quality. Logarithm and standard error logarithm odds ratio (OR) were also used for meta-analysis. Results A total of 41 studies involving 9559 individuals (case; 4327 and control; 5232) were analyzed. The pooled estimate of the association between H. pylori infection with diabetes was OR = 1.27 (95% CI 1.11 to 1.45, P = 0.0001, I2 = 86.6%). The effect of H. pylori infection on diabetes mellitus (both types), type 1 and type 2 diabetes was 1.17 (95% CI 0.94 to 1.45), 1.19 (95% CI 0.98 to 1.45), and 1.43 (95% CI 1.11 to 1.85) respectively. Subgroup analysis by the geographical regions showed in Asian population risk of the effect of H. pylori infection on diabetes was slightly higher than other population, Conclusion In overall a positive association between H. pylori infection and diabetes mellitus was found.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with insulin resistance and glycemia in non-diabetes. However, the relationship between H. pylori infection and glycemia in diabetes remains inconclusive. Therefore, we explored the effect of H. pylori infection status and its eradication on glycemic control and antidiabetic therapy in type 2 diabetes patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 549 diabetes patients were recruited for sequential two-step approach (immunoglobulin G [IgG] serology followed by 13 C-urea breath test [UBT]) to discriminate "active" (IgG+ and UBT+) from "non-active" (UBT- or IgG-) H. pylori infection, and "past" (IgG+ but UBT-) from "never/remote" (IgG-) infection. The differences in hemoglobin A1c (A1C) and antidiabetic regimens between groups were compared. In the "active" infection group, the differences in A1C changes between participants with and without 10-day eradication therapy were compared after 3 months. RESULTS Despite no between-group difference in A1C, the "active" infection group (n = 208) had significantly more prescriptions of oral antidiabetic drug classes (2.1 ± 1.1 vs 1.8 ± 1.1, P = 0.004) and higher percentages of sulfonylurea use (67.3% vs 50.4%, P < 0.001) than the "non-active" infection group (n = 341). There were no differences in A1C and oral antidiabetic drug classes between "past" (n = 111) and "never/remote" infection groups (n = 230). Compared with the non-eradication group (n = 99), the eradication group (n = 98) had significant within-group (-0.17 ± 0.80%, P = 0.036) and between-group (-0.23 ± 0.10%, P = 0.024) improvements in A1C. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes patients with active H. pylori infection need higher glycemic treatment intensity to achieve comparable glycemia. Furthermore, H. pylori eradication decreases A1C, and thus improves glycemic control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether prediabetes or diabetes increases the risk of gastric adenocarcinoma is not clear. METHODS This cohort study included 111,198 participants in the Northern Swedish Health and Disease Study. The participants were followed up from November 1985 to April 2017. The exposure to prediabetes or diabetes was assessed by oral glucose tolerance tests and self-reports. The incidence of the outcome gastric adenocarcinoma was identified from the Swedish Cancer Registry. Multivariable Cox regressions were used to analyse the associations between prediabetes or diabetes and the risk of gastric adenocarcinoma, providing hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI), with adjustment for sex, age, calendar year, body mass index, tobacco smoking and education level. RESULTS Compared with normoglycaemic participants, the risk of gastric adenocarcinoma was not increased among participants with prediabetes (HR 1.07, 95% CI 0.79-1.44), diabetes (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.46-1.29) or any of these exposures (HR 0.96, 95% CI 0.73-1.27). No associations were identified between prediabetes or diabetes and the risk of gastric adenocarcinoma in stratified analyses or in analyses separating cardia and non-cardia gastric adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSIONS This study does not support the hypothesis that prediabetes or diabetes increases the risk of gastric adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is one of the most common human pathogens that can cause gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, including simple gastritis, gastric ulcer, and malignant gastritis. In some cases, such as immunodeficiency and underlying diseases, it can be problematic as opportunistic infections. Diabetes mellitus (type 2) (T2DM) is one of the H. pylori underlying diseases. Since GI problems are observed in diabetic patients, it is necessary to treat H. pylori infection. In this review, we aimed to evaluate the possible relationship between H. pylori and T2DM according to epidemiological surveys of 70 studies retrieved from databases, including Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar about the relationship between H. pylori and T2DM, and discuss the reported background mechanisms of this correlation. According to the results of our study, the different studies have shown that H. pylori is more prevalent in Type 2 diabetic patients than healthy individuals or nondiabetic patients. The reason is development of H. pylori infection-induced inflammation and production of inflammatory cytokines as well as different hormonal imbalance by this bacterium, which are associated with diabetes mellitus. On the other hand, by tracing anti-H. pylori antibodies in patients with diabetes mellitus and occurrence of symptoms such as digestive problems in >75% of these patients, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between this bacterium and T2DM. Considering the evidence, it is crucially important that the probability of infection with H. pylori is evaluated in patients with T2DM so that medical process of the patient is followed with higher cautious.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication rate of type 2 diabetic patients with non-diabetic subjects. METHODS In this multicenter prospective observational study, H. pylori-infected subjects were enrolled from three university-affiliated hospitals. Eradication regimen was triple therapy with standard dose of proton pump inhibitors (b.i.d), amoxicillin (1.0 g b.i.d), and clarithromycin (500 mg b.i.d) for 7 days. Urea breath test was performed 4 weeks after treatment. Various clinical and laboratory data were collected for identification of factors associated with successful eradication. RESULTS Totally, 144 subjects were enrolled and 119 (85 non-diabetic and 34 diabetic patients) were finally analyzed. Eradication rate was 75.6% and there was no difference between diabetic patients and non-diabetic subjects (73.5% vs 76.5%, p value: 0.814). Adverse drug reactions were reported in 44.5% of patients. In multivariate analysis for predicting H. pylori eradication in diabetic patients, HbA1c (⩾7.5%) was a significant factor affecting eradication rate (adjusted odds ratio: 0.100, 95% confidence interval: 0.011-0.909, p value: 0.041). CONCLUSION Diabetes itself is not a major factor affecting H. pylori eradication. However, poor glucose control may harmfully affect H. pylori eradication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between Helicobacter pylori infection and glycated hemoglobin A has been confirmed in many studies, but these conclusions are still contradictory and controversial. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to resolve the problem of inconsistent results in diabetes. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted on related researches published in PubMed, Embase, and China Academic Journal Full-text Database (CNKI) from the inception of each database to April 2019. Fixed or random effects model was used to pool the weighted mean difference with 95% confidence interval from individual studies. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were also performed. Publication bias was estimated by funnel plot, Egger's test, and fail-safe numbers. RESULTS 35 studies with 4,401 participants with diabetes were included in the meta-analysis. Glycated hemoglobin A levels were elevated in patients with Helicobacter pylori infection compared with patients without Helicobacter pylori infection (WMD = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.28-0.72, p < 0.001). In subgroup analysis by the subtype of diabetes, there was a correlation between Helicobacter pylori infection and elevated glycated hemoglobin A in type 1 diabetes (I 2 = 74%, p < 0.001, WMD = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.12-0.80), and in type 2 diabetes (I 2 = 90%, p < 0.001, WMD = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.28-0.90, p < 0.001). In subgroup analysis by the study design, there was a correlation in cross-sectional study (I 2 = 89%, p < 0.001, WMD = 0.42, 95% CI: 0.16-0.69, p ≤ 0.003) and in case-control study (I 2 = 83%, p < 0.001, WMD = 0.39, 95% CI: 0.14-0.64, p ≤ 0.003). By different methods for detecting Helicobacter pylori, there was a correlation in the biopsy group (I 2 = 83%, p < 0.001, WMD = 0.6, 95% CI: 0.11-1.09, p ≤ 0.03) and in other groups of test methods (I 2 = 87%, p < 0.001, WMD = 0.37, 95% CI: 0.17-0.56, p < 0.001). Sensitivity analysis showed that our results were reliable, and no evidence of substantial publication bias was detected. CONCLUSION The meta-analysis might indicate a correlation between Helicobacter pylori infection and glycated hemoglobin A levels in diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various studies have reported a lower Helicobacter pylori eradication rate and a more frequent reinfection rate in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Vitamin D has anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory activity and the role of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in the antimicrobial activity against H. pylori has been reported. When it comes to the risk factors of H. pylori eradication, the function of vitamin D is not always taken into account. The aim of this study was to assess the role of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in H. pylori eradication in T2DM. METHODS In this retrospective study data from 160 patients with T2DM who underwent eradication therapy for H. pylori in Anhui Provincial Hospital between July 2015 and September 2017 were analyzed. According to eradication status, patients were divided into two groups, the successful eradication group (n = 124) and the eradication failure group (n = 36). The following information was obtained from participants' records before eradication treatment: age, sex, body mass index (BMI), duration of T2DM, prescription of medication use, smoking and drinking history. All patients were tested for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‑C), triglyceride (TG) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) at baseline. RESULTS The H. pylori was eradicated in 124 (77.5%) patients, while in 36 (22.5%) patients the treatment was unsuccessful. The eradication failure group had a lower mean vitamin D concentration than the group with successful eradication (15.09 ± 7.72 ng/ml vs. 19.87 ± 6.35 ng/ml, p = 0.004). The estimated odds ratio (OR) for eradication failure in individuals with serum vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/ml) compared to those with sufficient vitamin D levels (>30 ng/ml) were 1.489 (95% confidence interval, CI: 1.046-2.121, P = 0.027), Individuals with long duration of diabetes (≥10 years) had odds of eradication failure of 1.467 (95% CI: 1.017-2.114, P = 0.040) compared to subjects with short duration of diabetes (<10 years). CONCLUSIONS Lower 25-OHD was not only associated with H. pylori eradication failure but was also related to dyslipidemia in T2DM patients. Increasing serum 25-OHD to appropriate levels by activated vitamin D use may improve the eradication rate.

Helicobacter pylori Infection is Associated with Occurrence of Proteinuria in Type 2 Diabetes Patients: A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis. Chin Med J (Engl) 2018; 131:2734-2740. [PMID: 30425200 PMCID: PMC6247588 DOI: 10.4103/0366-6999.245269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2018] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients are susceptible to Helicobacter pylori (HP), and it has been reported that the occurrence of proteinuria is associated with HP infection in T2DM patients; however, this view remains controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to explore the association between HP infection and the occurrence of proteinuria in T2DM patients. In addition, we hope to provide some recommendations to readers in clinical or related fields. METHODS Our meta-analysis was conducted with the methodology of the Cochrane Collaboration. Search strategies were formulated by relevant professionals. Case-control studies that compared the occurrence of proteinuria in T2DM patients with and without HP infection were involved in our meta-analysis. Relevant English or Chinese studies were searched on online databases before 2018, including PubMed, the Cochrane library, Medline, Google Scholar, the China National Infrastructure, and Wanfang database. The search strategies were "diabetic proteinuria, diabetic microalbuminuria, diabetic albuminuria, diabetic kidney disease, diabetic renal dysfunction, diabetic renal disease, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic complications, and diabetic mellitus, combined with HP." The quality of these involved articles was separately assessed by two investigators using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Odds ratios (ORs) and associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were extracted and pooled using fixed-effects models. RESULTS Seven studies involving 1029 participants were included. The quality of these seven articles was all above five stars as assessed by NOS, and there was no significant publication bias in our meta-analysis. We found that T2DM patients with HP infection had a 2.00 times higher risk of the occurrence of proteinuria than patients without HP infection (OR: 2.00, 95% CI: 1.48-2.69). CONCLUSIONS Our analysis showed that HP infection was associated with the occurrence of proteinuria in T2DM patients. HP radical surgery might be a therapeutic option for protecting kidney function in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extragastric manifestations of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection have been reported in many diseases. However, there are still controversies about whether H. pylori infection is associated with diabetes mellitus (DM). This study was aimed at answering the question. METHODS A systematic search of the literature from January 1996 to January 2016 was conducted in PubMed, Embase databases, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Wanfang Data, China national knowledge database, and SinoMed. Published studies reporting H. pylori infection in both DM and non-DM individuals were recruited. RESULTS 79 studies with 57,397 individuals were included in this meta-analysis. The prevalence of H. pylori infection in DM group (54.9%) was significantly higher than that (47.5%) in non-DM group (OR = 1.69, P < 0.001). The difference was significant in comparison between type 2 DM group and non-DM group (OR = 2.05), but not in that between type 1 DM group and non-DM group (OR = 1.23, 95% CI: 0.77-1.96, P = 0.38). CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis suggested that there is significantly higher prevalence of H. pylori infection in DM patients as compared to non-DM individuals. And the difference is associated with type 2 DM but not type 1 DM.

Abstract
Gastric atrophy results in lower plasma ghrelin, higher gastrin secretion, a change in gut microbiota, and altered dietary nutrient absorption, which may be associated with the incidence of diabetes. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a major cause of gastric atrophy and is associated with diabetes in some reports. Since there is no study which investigates the impact of gastric atrophy on diabetes, we conduct a prospective cohort study to examine the relationship between H. pylori infection, gastric atrophy, and incident diabetes. In this study, subjects with gastric atrophy had a lower risk of incident diabetes, compared to those without gastric atrophy. The extent of gastric atrophy, measured by serum pepsinogen (PG) I/II ratio, was correlated with age, H. pylori IgG titer, HOMA2-IR, and HOMA2%B. When gastric atrophy is more extensive, presented as a lower serum PG I/II ratio, the risk of incident diabetes is lower. On the other hand, there was no significant association between H. pylori infection and the incidence of diabetes. In conclusion, the presence and the extent of gastric atrophy, but not H. pylori infection, are associated with incident diabetes. Further studies are needed to investigate the detailed mechanisms and the potential applications of the findings to guide diabetes screening and treatment strategies.

Abstract
The last three decades have witnessed a rapid rise in the number of people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and China has the largest population of diabetes in the world. Patients with T2MD are more susceptible to a variety of infections due to impaired host immunity. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) hosted in the human stomach is the pathogen of a series of gastric and extragastric diseases, and has infected > 50% of the world population. H. pylori infection is rapidly becoming a serious threat to public health. Epidemiological surveys have indicated an obvious relationship between H. pylori and diabetes. H. pylori infection in T2MD cases can induce systemic inflammation, increase the risk of diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy, and is associated closely with the micro- and macro-vascular complications. Chronic H. pylori infection may have a harmful impact on pancreatic β-cells and may be a risk factor for T2MD and insulin resistance. Treatment of H. pylori infection and control of T2MD are becoming increasingly challenging due largely to the huge population of patients with the two diseases and to the relative complexity of treatment regimens. Further clinical and basic studies are needed to control H. pylori infection and T2MD effectively.

Abstract
The aim was to determine the performances of four Helicobacter pylori serological detection kits in different target groups, using Amplified IDEIA™ Hp StAR™ as gold standard. Kits studied were Rapid Immunochromatoghraphic Hexagon, Helicoblot 2.1, an EIA IgG kit and EIA IgA kit. METHODS Stool and blood samples were collected from 162 apparently healthy participants (control) and 60 Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. RESULTS The performances of the four serological detection kits were found to be affected by gender, age, health status and ethnicity of the participants. In the control group, the Helicoblot 2.1 kit had the best performance (AUC = 0.85; p<0.05, accuracy = 86.4%), followed by EIA IgG (AUC = 0.75; p<0.05, accuracy = 75.2%). The Rapid Hexagon and EIA IgA kits had relatively poor performances. In the T2DM subgroup, the kits H2.1 and EIA IgG had best performances, with accuracies of 96.5% and 93.1% respectively. The performance of EIA IgG improved with adjustment of its cut-off value. CONCLUSION The performances of the detection kits were affected by various factors which should be taken into consideration.

Abstract
PURPOSE We performed to reveal the association between the Helicobacter pylori infection and body weight among children. METHODS Out retrospective study included patients who underwent the H. pylori immunoglobulin G testing at Konyang University Hospital between March 2011 and June 2014. These patients were classified as seropositive (28 boys, 27 girls; mean age: 9.89±3.28 years) or seronegative (55 boys, 54 girls; mean age: 9.84±3.02 years). Next, we compared various characteristics between the seropositive and negative groups, as well as between obese children (body weight ≥90th percentile) and non-obese children (body weight <90th percentile). Furthermore, we compared the change in body weight after 2 months of treatment with amoxicillin, clarithromycin and omeprazole among the 55 seropositive children (14 treated children and 41 non-treated children). RESULTS There were no differences in the weights and laboratory data for the 55 seropositive children and 109 seronegative children (weight; 40.96±18.11 kg vs. 36.85±13.72 kg, respectively; p=0.14). And, there was no difference in the prevalence of H. pylori infection among the 29 obese and 135 non-obese children (p=0.581). However, after 2 months of eradication, the 14 treated patients exhibited a significant weight gain (+0.91±0.52 kg), compared to the 41 non-treated patients (-0.29±1.16 kg, p=0.025). CONCLUSION Our findings present that obesity was not associated with the H. pylori infection, although H. pylori eradication led to significant increase in body weight.

Abstract
Strong epidemiologic evidence and common molecular mechanisms support an association between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type 2-diabetes. Local inflammation and amyloidosis occur in both diseases and are associated with periodontitis and various infectious agents. This article reviews the evidence for the presence of local inflammation and bacteria in type 2 diabetes and discusses host pathogen interactions in chronic inflammatory disorders. Chlamydophyla pneumoniae, Helicobacter pylori and spirochetes are demonstrated in association with dementia and brain lesions in AD and islet lesions in type 2 diabetes. The presence of pathogens in host tissues activates immune responses through Toll-like receptor signaling pathways. Evasion of pathogens from complement-mediated attack results in persistent infection, inflammation and amyloidosis. Amyloid beta and the pancreatic amyloid called amylin bind to lipid bilayers and produce Ca(2+) influx and bacteriolysis. Similarly to AD, accumulation of amylin deposits in type 2 diabetes may result from an innate immune response to chronic bacterial infections, which are known to be associated with amyloidosis. Further research based on an infectious origin of both AD and type 2 diabetes may lead to novel treatment strategies.

Abstract
Background. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been linked to Helicobacter pylori infection, although results are conflicting. No previous study addressed a possible link between H. pylori infection and latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). In this study, a correlation among H. pylori infection and the risk of autoimmune diabetes in comparison with T2D was investigated. Methods. Sera from 234 LADA patients, 105 patients with late-onset T1D, and 156 patients with T2D were analyzed for anti-H. pylori and the cytotoxin-associated antigen (CagA) IgG antibodies. Results. H. pylori seroprevalence was comparable in LADA (52%), late-onset T1D (45%), and T2D (49%) with no gender differences. The seroprevalence of CagA IgG was significantly higher in autoimmune diabetes (late-onset T1D: 45%, LADA: 40%) compared to T2D (25%; p < 0.028). Conclusions. Although H. pylori seroprevalence was similar in LADA, T1D, and T2D, anti-CagA positivity was significantly increased among patients with autoimmune diabetes, suggesting that more virulent H. pylori strains might be a trigger for immune mechanisms involved in their pathogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is reported to be associated with various extragastrointestinal conditions such as insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. H. pylori infection and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are associated with oxidative stress, this cross-relation between H. pylori induced infection in T2DM and oxidative damage is still debated. Thus, the question arises whether an increase in the serum level of 8-OHdG and Ox-LDL will occurs in patients with T2DM infected H. pylori; this will be through determination and compare frequency of H. pylori infection in T2DM and non-diabetic patients. METHODS 100 patients presented with history of epigastric discomfort for more than 1 month; 50 patients with T2DM and 50 non-diabetics. Anti-H. pylori IgG using ELISA, fasting and postprandial glucose level, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Serum 8-OHdG and Ox-LDL was measured using ELISA for the 100 patients and 50 control subject. RESULTS Rates of H. pylori infection of T2DM and non-diabetic were 66 and 58 %, respectively, (p = 0.001). H. pylori IgG antibody was not correlated with HbA1c either in T2DM (p = 0.06) or non-diabetic (p = 0.25). Serum 8-OHdG level in T2DM with positive H. pylori infection showed a significant difference compared to non-diabetics with positive H. pylori infection (p = 0.001) and higher than that in T2DM with negative H. pylori. A correlation between 8-OHdG concentration and HbA1c in T2DM patients infected with H. pylori was observed (r = 0.39, p = 0.02). Serum Ox-LDL level in T2DM with positive H. pylori infection showed a significant difference compared to diabetics with both negative H. pylori infection and in non-diabetics with positive H. pylori infection (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Increased levels of oxidative DNA damage (8-OHdG) and Ox-LDL suggest the mechanistic link between H. pylori infection combined with diabetes and increased generation of ROS and could play as an important image for high risk to atherosclerosis.

Gastroduodenal lesions were observed by gastrointestinal endoscopy and the presence of H. pylori was identified by rapid urease test and serum IgG antibodies to H. pylori. According to the urinary albumin excretion rate (UAE), patients were classified into diabetes mellitus group (DM group, with UAE <30 mg/24h); diabetic nephropathy group 1 (DN group 1, with UAE 30 mg/24 h to <300 mg/24 h); and diabetic nephropathy group 2 (DN group 2 ≥ 300 mg/24 h). The 69 non-diabetic subjects were used as control group. The serum levels of inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-8 were determined using ELISA. RESULTS The prevalence of H. pylori infection in DN group 1 and DN group 2 was 45/72 (62.5%) and 34/53 (64.15%), respectively, which was significantly higher than in control [28/65 (43.1%)] and DM groups [42.9% (27/63)]. No significant differences of H. pylori prevalence were detected between DN groups as well as DM and control groups. Interestingly, in both DN groups, higher levels of IL-8, TNF-α and urinary albumin excretion rate were found in H. pylori positive subjects. CONCLUSIONS Diabetic nephropathy patients are more susceptible to H. pylori infection. Our data support an association between H. pylori infection and diabetic nephropathy.

Helicobacter pylori seropositivity and pregnancy-related diseases: a prospective cohort study. J Reprod Immunol 2015; 109:41-7. [PMID: 25796531 DOI: 10.1016/j.jri.2015.02.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2014] [Revised: 12/09/2014] [Accepted: 02/10/2015] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
The relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and extragastric disease is well established. This study prospectively investigated whether maternal H. pylori seropositivity, detected during the first half of pregnancy, could be associated with the development of the major pregnancy-related pathological conditions during the late second or third trimester in a general population. Our hypothesis was that H. pylori infection might negatively influence pregnancy development and outcome. A total of 2820 consecutive pregnant women were recruited before 20 weeks' gestation, from October 2008 to August 2010, and blood samples were collected from each subject. IgG antibodies against H. pylori were assayed in maternal serum by a commercial immunoassay. Logistic regression analyses were performed to assess any association between H. pylori seropositivity and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) was the most common maternal complication (5.7%) and the only pregnancy-related disorder with a significantly higher rate of H. pylori-positive women (41.3%) compared with subjects who did not develop the disease (27.7%; P < 0.001; OR = 1.829, 95% CI = 1.320-2.533). The difference observed remained statistically significant after adjusting for potential confounding variables. The presence of antibodies against H. pylori antigens in maternal serum was independently associated with the development of GDM. These findings suggest that H. pylori eradication might play a role in the prevention of gestational diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS AND AIM The association between Helicobacter pylori infection and diabetes was inconsistent in previous studies. Moreover, there are no studies on the relationship between H. pylori infection and prediabetes in the literature. The aim of this study is thus to assess the association of Helicobacter infection, diagnosed by pathology from gastric biopsy, with diabetes and prediabetes. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 1285 subjects aged 19-85 who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy and gastric biopsy during health examinations at National Cheng Kung University Hospital from 2000 to 2009. Subjects were divided into three groups, including normal glucose tolerance, prediabetes, and diabetes. Diabetes and prediabetes were assessed according to the American Diabetes Association diagnostic criteria. Gastric Helicobacter infection was an independent variable. Chi-square tests, analysis of variance, and multinomial logistic regression models were used to analyze the effects of Helicobacter infection on the risk of diabetes and prediabetes while controlling for age, lifestyle, pathological conditions, and laboratory variables. RESULTS There were significant differences in the prevalence of gastric Helicobacter infection among the three groups. The results of multivariate analysis showed that age, obesity, family history of diabetes, hypertension, and hypertriglyceridemia were significantly related to both prediabetes and diabetes. Helicobacter pylori infection was positively associated with diabetes (odds ratio [OR] 1.42, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-2.01), but not prediabetes (OR 1.02, 95% CI 0.77-1.36), in addition to male gender, education level (≤ 9 vs > 12 years), pre-hypertension, and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. CONCLUSIONS Gastric H. pylori infection is associated with diabetes, but not prediabetes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection has been associated with increased levels of inflammatory cytokines and subsequent insulin resistance and epidemiologically linked to type 2 diabetes. OBJECTIVES To study the prevalence rate of H. pylori infection in type 2 diabetes and its relation with HbA1C levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional case-control study, 80 patients (≥18 years) who met the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) criteria for diabetes were recruited. Similarly, 60 age, sex, and education matched healthy controls were taken. They were tested for H. pylori infection by rapid urease test, histological examination of antral endoscopic biopsy specimens and serology. The relationship between H. pylori infection and levels of plasma glucose and HbA1C was assessed. RESULTS Out of the 80 patients of type 2 diabetes, H. pylori infection was found in 62 (77.5%) while it was present in only 35 (58.3%) of 60 controls, which was found to be significant (Chi-square test: 5.919, df = 1, P value = 0.015). Mean HbA1C among diabetics with H. pylori infection was 8.19 ± 1.16% and without H. pylori infection was 6.9 ± 0.84% (t = 4.3872, P value = 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Prevalence of H. pylori infection was significantly higher in diabetes as compared to controls. Presence of H. pylori infection significantly correlated with the level of HbA1C.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is reported to be associated with various extragastrointestinal conditions such as insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. These conditions are attributed to systemic inflammation, leptin or ghrelin changes due to H. pylori infection. Therefore, increasing trends in the management of H. pylori infection are ordered to maintain glycemic control. In this study, we evaluated the effect of H. pylori eradication on insulin resistance in patients with normal blood glucose concentrations. METHOD A total of 370 patients with successful eradication were included in the study. Patients with H. pylori were given triple eradication treatment. All patients with H. pylori infection were tested for fasting glucose, fasting insulin, glicated hemoglobin (HbA1c) at baseline and 6 months after eradication treatment. Also, insulin resistance was calculated using the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Body mass index was also determined as a metabolic syndrome criteria effecting insulin resistance. RESULTS There were significant differences in fasting glucose, fasting insulin, HbA1c, and HOMA-IR values between before treatment and after treatment(P <0.04, <0.01, <0.01, <0.01). The favorable effect of eradication was more significant in patients with BMI≥25 mg/m(2)(P<0.05). CONCLUSION Eradication treatment has beneficial effects on insulin resistance in patients with normal glucose concentrations.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate H. pylori infection and virulent strain in diabetic children. Patients: In this study 53 type 1 diabetics and 53 of normal volunteers were included. Methods: All studied children were subjected to assessment of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1), Anti H. pylori antibodies (IgA, IgG, IgM), Anti-cytotoxin associated gene A antibodies (Anti Cag A IgG). Results: Anti H. pylori antibodies IgA, IgG, total antibodies and anti Cag A IgG were significantly higher in diabetics. Diabetic patients with positive anti Cag A IgG had a lower age of onset of diabetes, higher age of patients, body mass index (BMI) and HbA1. Conclusion: High prevalence of infection with the virulent strain of H. pylori among diabetic children with older age, large BMI, high HbA1 and younger age of onset of disease. The screening for the virulent strain in diabetic patients with poor metabolic control is mandatory. Control of diabetes is essential to present the infection with H. pylori.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. To assess the association between Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and glycemic control in patients with diabetes through a meta-analytic approach. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS. Electronic literature searches were conducted for cross-sectional studies that examined the hemoglobin A1c (A1C) level by whether patients with diabetes were or were not carriers of HP. Mean differences in A1C between groups with and without HP infection were pooled with a random-effects model. RESULTS. Thirteen eligible studies were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, the HP carriers did not have significantly higher A1C levels compared with HP noncarriers (mean difference (95% CI), 0.19% (-0.18 to 0.46), P = 0.16). When the analysis was limited to studies targeting patients with type 1 diabetes, there was also no significant difference in A1C (0.69% (-0.31 to 1.68), P = 0.18). CONCLUSIONS. There was insufficient evidence that HP infection worsened glycemic control in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND. Helicobacter pylori (HP) infects more than half of the world's population. The aim of the study was to quantify the association between HP and the risk of diabetic complications. METHODS A literature search was performed to identify studies published between 1998 and 2012 for relevant risk estimates. Fixed and random effect meta-analytical techniques were conducted for ischemic heart disease, retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy. RESULTS Eight studies were included. HP was associated with an increase risk of nephropathy and neuropathy (relative risk [RR]: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.06-1.73, p = 0.45 and RR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.03-1.40, p = 0.29). We also discovered significant associations between bacterial infection and nephropathy risk in Oriental people (RR: 1.73, 95% CI: 1.19-2.50, p = 0.82) and in type 2 diabetic patients (RR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.11-2.02, p = 0.29). CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analyses suggest a possible relationship between HP and the risk of nephropathy and neuropathy. Our results also suggest that the effect of HP on the risk of nephropathy is stronger in Oriental people and in type 2 DM patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori infects more than half of the world's population. The aim of this study was to quantify the association between H. pylori infection and the risk of diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy, and to detect at which stage the infection might have higher pathogenicity in the disease-free status-diabetes mellitus-diabetic nephropathy process. METHODS A literature search was performed to identify studies published between 1997 and 2012 for relative risk estimates. Fixed and random effects meta-analytical techniques were conducted for diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy. RESULTS Thirty-seven case-control studies and 2 cohort studies were included. H. pylori was associated with an increased risk of each type of diabetes mellitus (odds ratio (OR) 2.00, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.82-2.20, p for heterogeneity = 0.07). The infection was also associated with increased risks of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, separately (OR 1.99, 95% CI 1.52-2.60, p for heterogeneity = 0.15, and OR 2.15, 95% CI 1.81-2.55, p for heterogeneity = 0.24, respectively). In addition, we found a significant association between H. pylori infection and diabetic nephropathy risk (OR 1.60, 95% CI 1.10-2.33, p for heterogeneity = 0.44). CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analyses suggest a relationship between H. pylori infection and the risk of diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy. The bacterium may be able to play its pathogenic role in the whole disease process, and this action may be stronger in type 2 diabetic patients than in type 1 diabetic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the association between chronic Helicobacter pylori infection and type 2 diabetes has been suggested, findings have been inconsistent. This study evaluated the association between chronic H. pylori infection and glucose regulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated H. pylori infection status of participants recruited from the gastroenterology clinic at our hospital. At baseline, we performed blood tests including fasting plasma glucose, insulin, glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and other biochemical measurements. Insulin resistance and beta-cell function were assessed by homoeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR and HOMA-B, respectively). RESULTS A total of 2070 participants were recruited. Those who had H. pylori infections had higher serum HbA1c levels and lower HOMA-B than those who did not (5.78% vs. 5.69%, P = 0.01 and 53.85 + 38.43 vs. 60.64 + 43.40, P = 0.009, respectively). They also had a significantly higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes (8.97% vs. 5.57%, P= 0.02). Chronic H. pylori infection was significantly associated with high levels of HbA1c and type 2 diabetes in participants above 65 years old (P = 0.001) and decreased insulin secretion and sensitivity in those under 45 years (P = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Long-term H. pylori infection is significantly associated with high levels of HbA1c and decreased insulin secretion in this Chinese population. Proper screening for H. pylori infection combined with regular monitoring of blood glucose and HbA1c levels might be effective for the early detection of glucose dysregulation and prevention of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the relationship between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) seropositivity and the presence of microalbuminuria.
METHODS: Between December 2003 and February 2010, asymptomatic individuals who visited the Seoul National University Healthcare System Gangnam Center for a routine check-up and underwent tests for H. pylori immunoglobulin G antibodies and urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) were included. All study subjects completed a structured questionnaire, anthropometric measurements and laboratory tests. Anti-H. pylori immunoglobulin G was identified using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. A random single-void urine sample, collected using a clean-catch technique, was obtained to determine the UACR. The presence of microalbuminuria was defined as a UACR from 30 to 300 μg/mg. The presence of diabetes mellitus (DM) was defined as either a fasting serum glucose level greater than or equal to 126 mg/dL or taking anti-diabetic medication. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors. The dependent variable was microalbuminuria, and the independent variables were the other study variables.
RESULTS: A total of 2716 subjects (male, 71.8%; mean age, 54.9 years) were included. Among them, 224 subjects (8.2%) had microalbuminuria and 324 subjects (11.9%) had been diagnosed with DM. Subjects with microalbuminuria had a significantly higher H. pylori seropositivity rate than subjects without microalbuminuria (60.7% vs 52.8%, P = 0.024). Multivariate analysis after adjustment for age, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and glucose and triglyceride levels showed that H. pylori seropositivity was significantly associated with microalbuminuria [odds ratio (OR), 1.40, 95% CI, 1.05-1.89, P = 0.024]. After the data were stratified into cohorts by glucose levels (≤ 100 mg/dL, 100 mg/dL < glucose < 126 mg/dL, and ≥ 126 mg/dL or history of DM), H. pylori seropositivity was found to be significantly associated with microalbuminuria in diabetic subjects after adjusting for age, BMI and serum creatinine level (OR, 2.21, 95% CI, 1.20-4.08, P = 0.011). In addition, the subjects were divided into five groups. Those without microalbuminuria (an UACR of < 30 μg/mg) were divided into four groups in accordance with their UACR values, and subjects with microalbuminuria comprised their own group. Notably, H. pylori seropositivity gradually increased with an increase in UACR (P = 0.001) and was highest in subjects with microalbuminuria (OR, 2.41, 95% CI, 1.14-5.11). This suggests that H. pylori seropositivity is positively associated with microalbuminuria in diabetic subjects.
CONCLUSION: H. pylori seropositivity was independently associated with microalbuminuria, and the prevalence of H. pylori seropositivity was associated with the severity of UACR in diabetic subjects.

Abstract
It is established that chronic spirochetal infection can cause slowly progressive dementia, brain atrophy and amyloid deposition in late neurosyphilis. Recently it has been suggested that various types of spirochetes, in an analogous way to Treponema pallidum, could cause dementia and may be involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we review all data available in the literature on the detection of spirochetes in AD and critically analyze the association and causal relationship between spirochetes and AD following established criteria of Koch and Hill. The results show a statistically significant association between spirochetes and AD (P = 1.5 × 10-17, OR = 20, 95% CI = 8-60, N = 247). When neutral techniques recognizing all types of spirochetes were used, or the highly prevalent periodontal pathogen Treponemas were analyzed, spirochetes were observed in the brain in more than 90% of AD cases. Borrelia burgdorferi was detected in the brain in 25.3% of AD cases analyzed and was 13 times more frequent in AD compared to controls. Periodontal pathogen Treponemas (T. pectinovorum, T. amylovorum, T. lecithinolyticum, T. maltophilum, T. medium, T. socranskii) and Borrelia burgdorferi were detected using species specific PCR and antibodies. Importantly, co-infection with several spirochetes occurs in AD. The pathological and biological hallmarks of AD were reproduced in vitro by exposure of mammalian cells to spirochetes. The analysis of reviewed data following Koch's and Hill's postulates shows a probable causal relationship between neurospirochetosis and AD. Persisting inflammation and amyloid deposition initiated and sustained by chronic spirochetal infection form together with the various hypotheses suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of AD a comprehensive entity. As suggested by Hill, once the probability of a causal relationship is established prompt action is needed. Support and attention should be given to this field of AD research. Spirochetal infection occurs years or decades before the manifestation of dementia. As adequate antibiotic and anti-inflammatory therapies are available, as in syphilis, one might prevent and eradicate dementia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori with a standard triple regimen has been reported as being lower in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) than in those without DM. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of 2 different H. pylori eradication regimens in patients with type 2 DM. METHODS Ninety-eight consecutive type 2 DM and 116 nondiabetic age- and sex-matched patients were enrolled in this study. Patients were randomized to receive either pantoprazole, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin (PCA) for 14 days or ranitidine-bismuth citrate, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin (RCA) for 14 days as the eradication regimen. H. pylori eradication was assessed using C14-urea breath test 6 weeks after the end of therapy. RESULTS The H. pylori eradication rate with PCA regimen in patients with DM with both intention-to-treat (ITT) and per protocol (PP) analysis was 24/49 (48.9% and 62.9%) and in non-DM patients was 44/58 (75.9% and 86.7%) with ITT and 44/57 (77.2% and 88.2%) with PP analysis (P < 0.05). The H. pylori eradication rates with RCA regimen in patients with DM were 22/49 (45.9% and 59.8%) with ITT and 22/48 (45.8% and 59.9%) with PP analysis and in non-DM patients were 44/58 (75.9% and 86.7%) with ITT and 44/56 (78.6% and 89.3%) with PP analysis. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that the eradication rate of H. pylori with PCA or RCA treatment is lower in patients with type 2 diabetes than in nondiabetics and that successful eradication could decrease dyspeptic symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial resistance in Helicobacter pylori infection is an important factor leading to failure of therapy. The aim of this study was to determine the eradication rate of H pylori in type 2 diabetes mellitus and to assess the effect of clarithromycin resistance on H pylori eradication. METHOD Fifty-six consecutive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 58 age- and sex-matched control patients were included in the study. H pylori infection was assessed by a rapid urease test and histopathological examination of biopsy specimens. Biopsies were also taken for antibiotic susceptibility testing. All enrolled patients were treated with triple therapy consisting of clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and pantoprazole for 14 days. C-13 urea breath test was performed 6 weeks after completing the triple therapy to assess eradication and associated point mutations using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS H pylori was eradicated in 42.9% of diabetic patients and 79.3% of control patients, (P < 0.05). In type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, clarithromycin resistance was 64.3% (36/56), while in the control group, clarithromycin resistance was 35.7% (20/58) (P < 0.05). H pylori was eradicated in 14 (70%) of the 20 clarithromycin-susceptible diabetic patients and in only 10 (27.8%) of the 36 clarithromycin-resistant diabetic patients. CONCLUSION The H pylori eradication rate was significantly lower and clarithromycin resistance was significantly higher in type 2 diabetics. Alternative and new treatment protocols and antibiotic susceptibility testing are needed to achieve successful eradication rates.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection is a leading world-wide infectious disease as it affects more than half of the world population and causes chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric malignancies. The infection elicits a chronic cellular inflammatory response in the gastric mucosa. However, the effects of this local inflammation may not be confined solely to the digestive tract but may spread to involve extra-intestinal tissues and/or organs. Indeed, H pylori infection has been epidemiologically linked to extra-digestive conditions and diseases. In this context, it has been speculated that H pylori infection may be responsible for various endocrine disorders, such as autoimmune thyroid diseases, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, obesity, osteoporosis and primary hyperparathyroidism. This is a review of the relationship between H pylori infection and these endocrine disorders.

Abstract
AIMS Prospective studies have identified chronic inflammation as a risk factor for Type 2 diabetes. However, it is not known whether infection by specific pathogens or having a greater 'pathogen burden' is associated with diabetes. The aim of this study was to examine the cross-sectional relation of seropositivity to five pathogens (Chlamydia pneumoniae, cytomegalovirus, Helicobacter pylori, hepatitis A virus, herpes simplex virus) and prevalent diabetes. METHODS Baseline data from a random sample of MultiEthnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) participants (n = 1000; age 45-84 years) were used. Diabetes was defined by American Diabetes Association 2003 criteria, and 'pathogen burden' by the number of pathogens (0-5) for which an individual was seropositive. Logistic regression was used to test differences in diabetes prevalence by seropositivity. Linear regression was used to explore associations between pathogen seropositivity and the inflammation markers C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 and fibrinogen. RESULTS Diabetes prevalence was 12.7%, whereas seropositivity for C. pnuemoniae was 76%, cytomegalovirus 77%, H. pylori 45%, hepatitis A 58% and herpes simplex virus 85%. Seventy-two percent were seropositive for three or more pathogens. In crude analyses, the prevalence of diabetes was higher among those with a pathogen burden of three or more, and with seropositivity to cytomegalovirus, H. pylori, hepatitis A and herpes simplex virus. After adjustment for demographic covariates (particularly race), all associations became non-significant. Pathogen seropositivity was also not related to inflammation marker levels. CONCLUSIONS Following demographic adjustments, no associations were observed between infection by several pathogens and diabetes status, suggesting no aetiological role for them in the occurrence of diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are contradictory reports on Helicobacter pylori prevalence and its relationship to late complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of H. pylori infection in type 2 DM patients and to evaluate the relationship between H. pylori infection and the glycemic control, late complications. MATERIAL AND METHOD A total of 141 type 2 DM patients and 142 nondiabetic subjects with upper gastrointestinal symptoms were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with biopsy specimens obtained from gastric antrum and corpus. H. pylori status was evaluated in each patient by both the rapid urease test and histopathological examination. Plasma glucose, HbA1c, microalbuminuria in 24 h collected urine, electroneuromyography, and fundoscopic examinations were performed in all subjects. RESULTS The prevalence of H. pylori infection was 61.7% and 58.5%, respectively, among type 2 diabetic patients and nondiabetic controls and was not statistically significant (P = 0.577). The duration of diabetes, fasting blood glucose and haemoglobin A1c levels, nephropathy and retinopathy prevalence did not differ significantly between the two groups (diabetics versus nondiabetics). There was no late complication in 60.3% of the type 2 diabetic patients as compared to at least one late complication in the remainders. A statistically significant correlation was found between H. pylori infection and the presence of neuropathy (P = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of H. pylori infection did not differ significantly between the diabetic patients and nondiabetic controls. Interestingly, diabetics with H. pylori infection had a higher incidence of neuropathy, although there was no association between the duration and regulation of diabetes, retinopathy, nephropathy and H. pylori status.

Abstract
Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are at risk for Helicobacter pylori infection. This infection has been linked to atherosclerosis and its vascular complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the: (1) prevalence of H pylori infection in patients with DM; (2) association between diabetic vascular complications and H pylori infection; and (3) influence of H pylori infection on atherosclerosis and inflammatory biomarkers. In this study, we evaluated 80 patients with DM for atherosclerosis; cardiac, cerebral, and peripheral vascular diseases; retinopathy; neuropathy; and nephropathy. We estimated the blood levels of glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, complete blood cell count, erythrocytic sedimentation rate, lipid profile, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin (IL)-6, and anti-H pylori IgG antibodies. H pylori infection was detected in 85% of patients versus 76.7% for control subjects. Carotid artery intima-media thickness was significant in H pylori-infected patients. IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha were significantly associated with H pylori infection. In multivariate analysis, blood glucose, triglycerides, erythrocytic sedimentation rate, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha increased the odds for atherothrombotic cause of cerebral ischemia in H pylori infection. We concluded that H pylori infection is common in DM and seems to be linked to the presence of atherosclerosis and ischemic cerebrovascular stroke. This effect could be mediated by increasing cytokine levels.

Abstract
Microaerobic bacteria were isolated from a baboon with pancreatic islet amyloidosis and hepatitis. Phenotypic and molecular analyses identified two distinct helicobacters. Analyses of 16S rRNA demonstrated "Helicobacter macacae" in the ileum and liver, and Helicobacter cinaedi in the colon. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report describing the isolation of enterohepatic Helicobacter species from a baboon.
