Summary, in English

Helicobacter pylori is the most important cause of gastritis, peptic ulcers and the development of gastric cancer. The chronic active inflammation is dominated by neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells. Several interleukins (IL-8, IL-10 and IFN-gamma) are involved in the inflammatory process in the gastric mucosa. The aim of this study was to investigate the gastric inflammation in patients with functional dyspepsia. Fifty-three consecutive patients were included and antral biopsies were obtained for histology, culture and immunohistochemistry. The sections were examined for the interleukins IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and IFN-gamma as well as for the cell markers CD4, CD8, CD14, U19, CD25 and CD30. Only CD4 and CD19 were significantly increased in patients with increased gastric inflammation and increased density of H. pylori. However, several of the examined markers (IFN-gamma, IL-8, IL-10 and CD14) showed a non-significant trend to be increased in patients with extensive gastric inflammation and high density of H. pylori. Therefore, an arbitrary index (IM11) for all the 11 immunological markers was made as an average value for each of the four morphological groups. For the four morphologically different groups of patients the values were 0.49, 0.77, 0.86 and 1.25, respectively. Significant increases in the index from none to moderate antral inflammation as well as the density of H. pylori were found (p < 0.001). By using an index of inflammatory markers trends can be summarized and thereby significant which may be of importance when gastric inflammation is investigated in children and patients with functional dyspepsia.
