Abstract

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a major cause of chronic gastritis and is associated with the progression of gastric pathology. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between gastritis severity and the presence of H. pylori, considering sex-based differences, in a clinical population from Mexico City. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 348 patients (139 men and 209 women) who underwent endoscopy in a hospital in Mexico City. Gastritis severity was categorized into four levels (1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = diffuse). The presence of H. pylori was confirmed through standard diagnostic tests. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to assess the association between gastritis severity and H. pylori infection separately by sex. Chi-square tests were used to evaluate associations between categorical variables. Results: Among all patients, 219 (62.9%) tested positive for H. pylori. A statistically significant correlation was found between gastritis severity and H. pylori positivity in both sexes: women (r = 0.395, p < 0.001) and men (r = 0.177, p = 0.029). The chi-square test showed no significant association between sex and H. pylori infection (Chi2 = 1.30, p = 0.255). Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between the severity of gastritis and the presence of H. pylori, particularly among women. These findings suggest that H. pylori infection may play a more pronounced role in the pathogenesis of severe gastritis in female patients.

Abstract

Allergic airway inflammation (AAI) is a chronic disease caused by immune system dysfunction, leading to serious quality of life impairments such as allergic rhinitis and asthma, especially in children and newborns. Staphylococcus aureus is a common pathogen that plays a crucial role in exacerbating these inflammatory conditions by activating key immune pathways, including NF - κ B and MAPK. This study investigated the potential therapeutic effect of linoleic acid metabolite 9,10-epoxyoctadecenoic acid (EpoME) in regulating allergic airway inflammation induced by Staphylococcus aureus. There are studies suggesting that EpoME may regulate these inflammatory pathways to reduce inflammation, improve airway hyperresponsiveness, and repair epithelial cell damage. In in vivo experiments, we observed that EpoME treatment significantly reduced airway resistance and improved lung compliance in a mouse model, indicating an improvement in airway hyperresponsiveness. In addition, EpoME treatment reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, TNF - α, and IL-1 β in serum, highlighting its role in reducing systemic and local inflammation. Western blot analysis confirmed that EpoME inhibits the activation of NF - κ B and MAPK signaling pathways, further supporting its anti-inflammatory effects. These results suggest that EpoME may become a potential therapeutic agent for treating allergic airway inflammation induced by Staphylococcus aureus by targeting these key inflammatory pathways. This study emphasizes the therapeutic potential of EpoME as an anti-inflammatory agent, particularly in cases involving Staphylococcus aureus induced airway inflammation. EpoME may provide a new approach for managing allergic airway diseases, which has great significance for newborns and other susceptible populations.
