The global prevalence of gastric cancer in Helicobacter pylori-infected individuals: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Infect Dis 2023; 23:543. [PMID: 37598157 PMCID: PMC10439572 DOI: 10.1186/s12879-023-08504-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori is a gastrointestinal pathogen that infects around half of the world's population. H. pylori infection is the most severe known risk factor for gastric cancer (GC), which is the second highest cause of cancer-related deaths globally. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the global prevalence of GC in H. pylori-infected individuals. METHODS We performed a systematic search of the PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases for studies of the prevalence of GC in H. pylori-infected individuals published from 1 January 2011 to 20 April 2021. Metaprop package were used to calculate the pooled prevalence with 95% confidence interval. Random-effects model was applied to estimate the pooled prevalence. We also quantified it with the I2 index. Based on the Higgins classification approach, I2 values above 0.7 were determined as high heterogeneity. RESULTS Among 17,438 reports screened, we assessed 1053 full-text articles for eligibility; 149 were included in the final analysis, comprising data from 32 countries. The highest and lowest prevalence was observed in America (pooled prevalence: 18.06%; 95% CI: 16.48 - 19.63; I2: 98.84%) and Africa (pooled prevalence: 9.52%; 95% CI: 5.92 - 13.12; I2: 88.39%). Among individual countries, Japan had the highest pooled prevalence of GC in H. pylori positive patients (Prevalence: 90.90%:95% CI: 83.61-95.14), whereas Sweden had the lowest prevalence (Prevalence: 0.07%; 95% CI: 0.06-0.09). The highest and lowest prevalence was observed in prospective case series (pooled prevalence: 23.13%; 95% CI: 20.41 - 25.85; I2: 97.70%) and retrospective cohort (pooled prevalence: 1.17%; 95% CI: 0.55 - 1.78; I 2: 0.10%). CONCLUSIONS H. pylori infection in GC patients varied between regions in this systematic review and meta-analysis. We observed that large amounts of GCs in developed countries are associated with H. pylori. Using these data, regional initiatives can be taken to prevent and eradicate H. pylori worldwide, thus reducing its complications.

Abstract
Purpose Native stem cells can be periodically replaced during short and long epigenetic intervals. Cancer-prone new stem cells might bring about periodic (non-stochastic) carcinogenic events rather than stochastic events. We investigated the epigenetic non-stochastic carcinogenesis by analyzing regular fluctuations in lifelong cancer incidence. Materials and Methods Korean National Cancer Screening Program data were collected between 2009 and 2016. Non-linear and log-linear regression models were applied to comparatively evaluate non-stochastic and stochastic increases in cancer incidence. Prediction performances of regression models were measured by calculating the coefficient of determination, R2. Results The incidence of gastric and colorectal cancers fluctuated regularly during both short (8 years) and long (20 years) intervals in the non-linear regression model and increased stochastically in the log-linear regression model. In comparison between the 20-year interval fluctuation model and the stochastic model, R2 values were higher in the 20-year interval fluctuation model of men with gastric cancer (0.975 vs. 0.956), and in the stochastic model of men with colorectal cancer (0.862 vs. 0.877) and women with gastric cancer (0.837 vs. 0.890) and colorectal cancer (0.773 vs. 0.809). Men with gastric cancer showed a high R2 value (0.973) in the 8-year interval fluctuation model as well. Conclusion Lifelong incidence of gastrointestinal cancer tended to fluctuate during short and long intervals, especially in men with gastric cancer, suggesting the influence of an epigenetic schedule.

CHEMOSPHERE 2020; 253:126616. [PMID: 32283421 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.126616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2019] [Revised: 03/22/2020] [Accepted: 03/23/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Excessive exposure to fluoride has been reported to affect bone mineral density (BMD). CALCA expression plays a critical part in bone formation. However, the role of CALCA in the association between fluoride and BMD is not known. We conducted a cross-sectional study and recruited 722 women in rural areas of Henan Province, China, to assess the relationship between fluoride exposure, CALCA methylation, and BMD. Urinary levels of fluoride, CALCA methylation, and BMD were measured by a fluoride ion-selective electrode, standalone ultrasound bone densitometer, and quantitative methylation-specific polymerases chain reaction, respectively. The association among fluoride exposure, CALCA methylation, and BMD was age-specific. Specifically, BMD was negatively correlated with methylation (β: -0.008; 95% CI: -0.016, 0.000) and fluoride exposure (β: -0.063; 95% CI: -0.129, -0.002) in women over 45 years and 50-54 years of age, respectively, whereas methylation was positively correlated with fluoride exposure (β: 4.953; 95% CI: 1.162, 8.743) in women aged 40-44 years. Besides, increased BMD in women aged 45-49 years induced by the interactive effect of the highest methylation of CALCA exon 1 (tertile 3) and fluoride exposure was observed (P for interaction < 0.05). Our findings suggest an age-specific association between exposure to excessive fluoride, CALCA methylation, and BMD in a rural population of women in China. Notably, the susceptibility of BMD to fluoride exposure may be modified by CALCA methylation.
