Helicobacter infection

Yamashita reported anti-inflammatory effect of astaxanthin when administered with aspirin. An oral preparation has been developed by Alejung and Wadstroem for the treatment of Helicobacter infections of the mammalian gastrointestinal tract. Strong evidence suggested that astaxanthin modulated the humoral and non-humoral immune systems. It enhanced the release of interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor-...

Helicobacter infections are of great concern worldwide due to its association with peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. Resistance to available antimicrobials is on the rise, not only in the US but also in the developing countries. This increase in resistance has opened the door for research into...

Helicobacter pylori normally resides in the human stomach and is transmitted via the fecal-oral route or through ingestion of fecal-contaminated water or food. Infection with HP is more common in developing countries because of crowded conditions and the presence of contaminated food and water. HP colonization does not necessarily reflect an active infection since the organism can attach itself to the gastric epithelium... 

Helicobacter pylori infection and NSAID use account for most cases of PUD. The relatively high incidence of PUD in the elderly maybe due to higher NSAID use. Although hospitalizations related to PUD have decreased over the past two decades, the incidence of PUD-related complications such as bleeding and perforation remain unchanged.

L. inocua ferritin site however, is the first described so far that has ligands belonging to two different subunits, and is not contained within a four-helix bundle. Recently it has been suggested that the neutrophil-activating protein of Helicobacter pylori, the major antigen of the immune response in infected individuals, is also a dodecameric ferritin, capable of binding up to 500 iron atoms per oligomer (Tonello et ah, 1999).
