Helicobacter pylori infection prevalence in ambulatory settings in 2017-2019 in RUSSIA: The data of real-world national multicenter trial. Helicobacter 2022; 27:e12924. [PMID: 35971900 DOI: 10.1111/hel.12924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Revised: 07/07/2022] [Accepted: 07/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/09/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The recent data on the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in Russia are limited. The aim of the study was to compare Helicobacter pylori infection prevalence in ambulatory settings in Russia in 2017 and 2019 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS Subjects visiting primary care centers were invited to take part in the study. H. pylori status was assessed by 13 C-urea breath test (UBT). Data on subjects' demography, previous treatment exposure, and place of residence were collected in all federal districts of Russia in 2017 and in 2019 calendar years and processed centrally. RESULTS The data of 19,875 subjects were available for analysis. The prevalence of H. pylori infection assessed by positive UBT in treatment-naive subjects was highest in the Southern (54.9%) and the North Caucasian (45.1%) federal districts. A significant difference (p < 0.05) in H. pylori prevalence between two testing periods was found only in a half of federal districts: the Central (46.2% in 2017 vs. 36.2% in 2019), the Northwestern (38.6% vs. 35.5% accordingly), the Volga (40.6% vs. 33.0%, accordingly), and the Ural (40.4% vs. 32.7%, accordingly). The lowest prevalence of H. pylori infection was revealed in the age group <18 years old (20.2%), while the highest in the age group of 41-50 years old (43.9%). In 2017, the prevalence of H. pylori was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than in 2019 in all age groups but younger than 18 and older than 70 y.o., where similar rates were found during both study periods. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of H. pylori according to 13 C-UBT testing of primary care visitors in Russia is lower than expected (38.8%). The highest prevalence of H. pylori infection found in the Southern and the North Caucasian federal districts of Russia and in the age group of 41-50 years old. This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04892238).

Rapid and Sensitive Assay of Helicobacter pylori With One-Tube RPA-CRISPR/Cas12 by Portable Array Detector for Visible Analysis of Thermostatic Nucleic Acid Amplification.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has infected more than half of the world’s population and is still a threat to human health. The urea breath test, despite being widely used in clinical diagnosis, still faces huge challenges in the immediate detection of H. pylori. Thus, a rapid, sensitive, and highly specific point of care diagnosis is particularly important for preventing the further transmission of H. pylori and for real-time monitoring of the disease in a given population. Recently, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based diagnostics have been applied to various types of nucleic acid testing; however, there are often shortcomings of complex operation and high signal transmission background. In this study, we proposed a new platform for the assay of H. pylori using one-tube-based CRISPR/Cas12a diagnostic methods and designed a detector for this platform, which is a portable array detector for visible analysis of thermostatic nucleic acid amplification (Pad-VATA). By incorporating isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification, our platform could detect the conserved gene fragments of H. pylori with a constant low as 2 copies/μl. The assay process can be performed at a single temperature in about 30 min and integrated into the reactor in the palm-sized Pad-VATA to facilitate rapid diagnosis of H. pylori. We also verified the accuracy of our platform using 10 clinical samples and found that the platform can quickly detect H. pylori infection in a given population. We believe that this fast, convenient, efficient, and inexpensive screening and diagnostic platform can be widely used in various settings, including homes and clinics.

Abstract
Rapid diagnosis and treatment application in the early stages of H. pylori infection plays an important part in inhibiting the transmission of this infection as this bacterium is involved in various gastric pathologies such as gastritis, gastro-duodenal ulcer, and even gastric neoplasia. This review is devoted to a quick overview of conventional and advanced detection techniques successfully applied to the detection of H. pylori in the context of a compelling need to upgrade the standards of the diagnostic methods which are currently being used. Selecting the best diagnostic method implies evaluating different features, the use of one or another test depending on accessibility, laboratories equipment, and the clinical conditions of patients. This paper aims to expose the diagnosis methods for H. pylori that are currently available, highlighting their assets and limitations. The perspectives and the advantages of nanotechnology along with the concept of nano(bio)sensors and the development of lab-on-chip devices as advanced tools for H. pylori detection, differentiation, and discrimination is also presented, by emphasizing multiple advantages: simple, fast, cost-effective, portable, miniaturized, small volume of samples required, highly sensitive, and selective. It is generally accepted that the development of intelligent sensors will completely revolutionize the acquisition procedure and medical decision in the framework of smart healthcare monitoring systems.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is a human-specific pathogen, which leads to gastric pathologies including gastric cancer. It is a highly unique bacterium considered as a carcinogenic agent. H. pylori remains a major human health problem, responsible for ~90% of the gastric cancer cases. Approximately four billion individuals have been detected for H. pylori infection worldwide in 2015. At the turn of the twenty-first century, the prevalence of H. pylori has been declining in highly industrialized countries of the Western world, whereas prevalence has plateaued at a high level in developing and newly industrialized countries. However, the infection status remains high in immigrants coming from countries with high prevalence of H. pylori infection. H. pylori can be diagnosed both by invasive and non-invasive methods. Urea breath test and stool antigens detection are among the most commonly used non-invasive ones. Although the way H. pylori is transmitted remains still not fully clear, the level of contamination is strongly dependent on the familial and environmental context, with a drastic impact of living conditions with poor hygiene and sanitation. However, familial socioeconomic status is the main risk factor for H. pylori infection among children. In addition, food and water source have a high impact on the prevalence of H. pylori infection worldwide. This chapter highlights the latest knowledge in the epidemiology of H. pylori infection, its diagnosis and critical risk factors responsible for its high prevalence in some populations and geographic areas.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection is acquired mainly in childhood and remains an essential cause of peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. This article provides commentary on the last ESPGHAN/NASPGHAN guidelines and on publications made after the consensus conference of 2015. The majority of infected children are asymptomatic and pediatric studies do not support a role for H. pylori in functional disorders such as recurrent abdominal pain. The role of H. pylori infection in failure to thrive, children's growth, type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM), and celiac disease remains controversial. The diagnosis of infection should be based on upper-digestive endoscopy with biopsy-based methods. Eradication control after treatment should be based on validated non-invasive tests. Nodular gastritis is the main endoscopic finding of childhood H. pylori infection, but gastroduodenal erosions/ulcers are seen in some children, especially after 10 years of age. When indicated, eradication treatment should be given when good compliance is expected and based on the antimicrobial susceptibility profile.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a non-invasive diagnostic test for the detection of Helicobacter pylori in stool samples from digestive symptomatic patients, using a new protocol of nested-qPCR. A total of 143 patients were invited to participate in the study. A gastric biopsy of each patient was collected for Rapid Urease Testing (RUT) and histology by Giemsa stain. A fecal sample for nested-qPCR analysis was also obtained. DNA was extracted from the fecal samples, and conventional PCR followed by qPCR of the ureC gene of H. pylori was carried out. We evaluated the presence of H. pylori, in 103 females and 40 males, mean (± SD) age of 56.5 ± 14.18. The sensitivity of RUT to detect the infection was 67.0% (95% C.I.: 57.2 - 75.8) and specificity was 92.3% (95% C.I.: 76.5 - 99.1). Histology by Giemsa stain, commonly used as a reference for H. pylori detection, showed a sensitivity of 98.6% (95% C.I.: 92.5 - 100.0) and a specificity of 89.7% (95% C.I.: 72.7 - 97.8). In contrast, detection of H. pylori infection in stools by nested-qPCR showed a sensitivity of 100% (95% C.I.: 94.9 - 100.0) and a specificity of 83.9% (95% C.I.: 66.3 - 94.6). Our test, based in nested-qPCR is a better diagnostic alternative than conventional RUT, and is similar to histology by Giemsa stain in the detection of H. pylori, by which the test could be used for non-invasive diagnosis in clinical practice.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection in children differs from that in adults, from the point of view of epidemiology, host response, clinical features, related diseases, and diagnosis, as well as treatment strategies. The prevalence of H. pylori infection, in both children and adults, is decreasing in the Western World as well as in some developing countries, which contrasts with the increase in childhood asthma and allergic diseases. Recurrent abdominal pain is not specific during H. pylori infection in children. The role of H. pylori infection and failure to thrive, children's growth, type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and celiac disease remains controversial. The main initial diagnosis is based on upper digestive endoscopy with biopsy-based methods. Nodular gastritis may be a pathognomonic endoscopic finding of childhood H. pylori infection. The infection eradication control is based on validated noninvasive tests. The main cause of treatment failure of H. pylori infection is its clarithromycin resistance. We recommend standard antibiotic susceptibility testing of H. pylori in pediatric patients prior to the initiation of eradication therapy. H. pylori treatment in children should be based on an evaluation of the rate of eradication in the local population, a systematic use of a treatment adapted to the susceptibility profile and a treatment compliance greater than 90%. The last meta-analysis in children did not show an advantage for sequential therapy when compared to a 14-day triple therapy. Finally, the high rate of antibiotic resistance responsible for therapy failure in recent years justifies the necessity of a novel vaccine to prevent H. pylori infection in children.

Abstract
Background: The 13C urea breath test (13C-UBT) is the gold standard for detecting Helicobacter pylori infection. H. pylori pathogenesis in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and related diseases remains obscure. We used 13C-UBT to detect H. pylori infection in patients with chronic HBV infection, HBV-related cirrhosis, HBV-related hepatic carcinoma, and other chronic hepatic diseases. Methods: A total of 131 patients with chronic hepatitis B (HB), 179 with HBV-related cirrhosis, 103 with HBV-related hepatic carcinoma, 45 with HBV-negative hepatic carcinoma, and 150 controls were tested for H. pylori infection using 13C-UBT. We compared H. pylori infection rate, liver function, complications of chronic hepatic disease, serum HBV-DNA, serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), and portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) incidence among groups. Results: HBV-related cirrhosis was associated with the highest H. pylori infection rate (79.3%). H. pylori infection rate in chronic HB was significantly higher than in the HBV-negative hepatic carcinoma and control groups (P < 0.001). H. pylori infection rate in patients with HBV-DNA ≥103 copies/ml was significantly higher than in those with HBV-DNA <103 copies/ml (76.8% vs. 52.4%, P < 0.001). Prothrombin time (21.3 ± 3.5 s vs. 18.8 ± 4.3 s), total bilirubin (47.3±12.3 μmol/L vs. 26.6 ±7.9 μmol/L), aspartate aminotransferase (184.5 ± 37.6 U/L vs. 98.4 ± 23.5 U/L), blood ammonia (93.4 ± 43.6 μmol/L vs. 35.5 ± 11.7 μmol/L), and AFP (203.4 ± 62.6 μg/L vs. 113.2 ± 45.8 μg/L) in the 13C-UBT-positive group were significantly higher than in the 13C-UBT-negative group (P < 0.01). The incidence rates of esophageal fundus variceal bleeding (25.4% vs. 16.0%), ascites (28.9% vs. 17.8%), and hepatic encephalopathy (24.8% vs. 13.4%) in the 13C-UBT-positive group were significantly higher than in the 13C-UBT-negative group (P < 0.01). The percentages of patients with liver function in Child-Pugh Grade C (29.6% vs. 8.1%) and PHG (43.0% vs. 24.3%) in the 13C-UBT-positive group were significantly higher than in the 13C-UBT-negative group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: It is possible that H. pylori infection could increase liver damage caused by HBV. H. pylori eradication should be performed in patients with complicating H. pylori infection to delay hepatic disease progression.
