38. Helicobacter pylori infection: relation with cardiovascular risk factors, ischaemic heart disease, and social class.

Author

Murray, L. J., Bamford, K. B., O'Reilly, D. P., McCrum, E. E., and Evans, A. E.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE--To determine whether Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with the development of ischaemic heart disease and whether such infection can explain the social class inequality in ischaemic heart disease. DESIGN--Cardiovascular risk factor levels, prevalence of ischaemic heart disease (Rose questionnaire angina, and/or a history of myocardial infarction), and serum antibodies to H pylori (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) were assessed in a cross sectional population based survey. SETTING--Belfast and surrounding districts, Northern Ireland. PARTICIPANTS--1182 men and 1198 women aged 25-64 years randomly selected from the Central Services Agency's general practitioner lists. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--The relation of H pylori infection with cardiovascular risk factors and ischaemic heart disease. The association of social class with ischaemic heart disease. RESULTS--Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, plasma viscosity, and total cholesterol were not associated with H pylori infection. A weak negative association existed between H pylori infection and fibrinogen (mean (SE) difference in fibrinogen between infected and uninfected individuals -0.09 (0.04) g/l, P = 0.02) and between infection in women and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (mean (SE) difference in HDL cholesterol between infected and uninfected individuals -0.06 (0.02) mmol/l, P = 0.006). A potentially important association was demonstrated between H pylori infection and ischaemic heart disease but this did not reach statistical significance (odds ratio (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.51 (0.93 to 2.45), P = 0.1). Social class was associated with ischaemic heart disease independently of cardiovascular risk factors and H pylori infection (odds ratio, manual v non-manual (95% CI) 1.82 (1.14 to 2.91), P = 0.01). CONCLUSION--H pylori may be independently associated with the development of ischaemic heart disease but if this is so the mechanism by which this effect is exerted is not through increased concentration of plasma fibrinogen. H pylori infection does not explain the social class inequality in ischaemic heart disease which exists independently of known cardiovascular risk factors. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Abstract

Background: Despite the widespread prevalence and serious clinical sequelae of infection with Helicobacter pylori, there have been few large population-based studies, using randomly selected subjects, examining the epidemiology of this infection.Aim: To examine the distribution and determinants of H. pylori infection in a developed country.Subjects and Setting: Overall 4742 subjects, aged 12-64, from Northern Ireland were randomly selected.Methods: Helicobacter pylori specific IgG antibodies were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, using an acid-glycine extract antigen, in stored serum from subjects who had participated in three linked population-based surveys of cardiovascular risk factors performed in 1986 and 1987.Results: The overall prevalence of H. pylori infection was 50.5%. Prevalence increased with age from 23.4% in 12-14 year olds to 72.7% in 60-64 year olds: chi 2 for trend 518, P < 10(-4). In subjects aged > or = 25, infection was more common in males (60.9%) than females (55.2%): chi 2 = 9.53, P < 0.01. This relation remained significant after adjusting for age, and measures of socioeconomic class: odds ratio (OR) for infection, male versus female was 1.19 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-1.40). Infection was associated with social class: the adjusted OR of infection in subjects from manual social classes relative to those from non-manual classes was 1.7 (95% CI: 1.47-1.98). Infection was significantly more common in current smokers and ex-smokers than in subjects who had never smoked: adjusted OR for infection, ex-smokers versus never smoked was 1.22 (95% CI: 1.01-1.49); for smokers of > or = 20/day versus never smoked OR = 1.33 (95% CI: 1.05-1.67). Infection was not associated with height in adult males but mean height in infected women was lower than in uninfected women after adjusting for age and socioeconomic status: difference in mean height (SE), -0.85 cm (0.32), P < 0.01. There was no demonstrable relationship between H. pylori infection and current alcohol intake.Conclusions: This study demonstrated a high prevalence of infection in a population from a developed country. Previously reported associations between H. pylori infection, age, sex, social class, and reduced height in females were confirmed and smoking was identified as a possible risk factor for H. pylori infection.

42. Epidemiology of <e1>Chlamydia pneumoniae</e1> infection in a randomly selected population in a developed country

Author

O'NEILL, C., MURRAY, L. J., ONG, G. M. L., O'REILLY, D. P. J., EVANS, A. E., and BAMFORD, K. B.

Abstract

This cross-sectional study of 400 sera from a randomly selected adult population in Northern Ireland, using a microimmunofluorescence assay, demonstrated high overall seropositivity (70%) for IgG Chlamydia pneumoniae antibodies in developed populations. Seropositivity was shown to be unrelated to gender, age or smoking but there was an inverse trend between infection and educational level achieved as a measure of socio-economic status. IgG levels were also higher during the winter months suggesting seasonal variation of Chlamydia pneumoniae infection. The high prevalence of evidence of exposure to Chlamydia pneumoniae as described in this study may have implications for prevention of cardiovascular disease if further evidence conclusively determines that infection with this organism is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

Abstract

Neonates are among the most vulnerable patient groups for healthcare-associated infection with multiple endogenous and exogenous risks. Interpretation of neonatal bloodstream infection (BSI) rates requires stratification for case-mix. We assessed 1367 consecutive admissions to a single neonatal unit over a 34-month period. Four intrinsic and seven extrinsic risks were evaluated using Poisson regression analyses both individually and in combination. Nine of the 11 evaluated risk factors were significantly associated with BSI on univariate analyses. The only significant independent risks were parenteral nutrition, whether administered centrally or peripherally [incidence rate ratio (IRR): 14.2; 95% confidence interval (CI): 8.8-22.9; P<0.001], and gestational age <26 weeks (IRR: 2.5; 95% CI: 1.7-3.8; P<0.001). The rate of BSI per 1000 patient-days was 40 times higher in infants with both of these than in infants with neither. If validated in other settings, stratification of neonatal BSI rate by two unambiguous risk factors, parenteral nutrition and birth gestational age <26 weeks, offers a simple method to make meaningful intra- and inter-hospital comparisons.

Abstract

Conducting gene therapy clinical trials with genetically modified organisms as the vectors presents unique safety and infection control issues. The area is governed by a range of legislation and guidelines, some unique to this field, as well as those pertinent to any area of clinical work. The relevant regulations covering gene therapy using genetically modified vectors are reviewed and illustrated with the approach taken by a large teaching hospital NHS Trust. Key elements were Trust-wide communication and involvement of staff in a pro-active approach to risk management, with specific emphasis on staff training and engagement, waste management, audit and record keeping. This process has led to the development of proposed standards for clinical trials involving genetically modified micro-organisms.

Abstract

The majority of humans infected with Helicobacter pylori maintain a lifelong infection with strains bearing the cag pathogenicity island (PAI). H. pylori inhibits T cell responses and evades immunity so the mechanism by which infection impairs responsiveness was investigated. H. pylori caused apoptotic T cell death, whereas Campylobacter jejuni did not. The induction of apoptosis by H. pylori was blocked by an anti-Fas Ab (ZB4) or a caspase 8 inhibitor. In addition, a T cell line with the Fas rendered nonfunctional by a frame shift mutation was resistant to H. pylori-induced death. H. pylori strains bearing the cag PAI preferentially induced the expression of Fas ligand (FasL) on T cells and T cell death, whereas isogenic mutants lacking these genes did not. Inhibiting protein synthesis blocked FasL expression and apoptosis of T cells. Preventing the cleavage of FasL with a metalloproteinase inhibitor increased H. pylori-mediated killing. Thus, H. pylori induced apoptosis in Fas-bearing T cells through the induction of FasL expression. Moreover, this effect was linked to bacterial products encoded by the cag PAI, suggesting that persistent infection with this strain may be favored through the negative selection of T cells encountering specific H. pylori Ags.

Abstract

Background: The association of Chlamydia pneumoniae with atherosclerosis is controversial. We investigated the presence of C. pneumoniae and other Chlamydia spp. in atheromatous carotid artery tissue., Methods: Forty elective carotid endarterectomy patients were recruited (27 males, mean age 65 and 13 females mean age 68), 4 had bilateral carotid endarterectomies (n= 44 endarterectomy specimens). Control specimens were taken from macroscopically normal carotid artery adjacent to the atheromatous lesions (internal controls), except in 8 cases where normal carotid arteries from post mortem (external controls) were used. Three case-control pairs were excluded when the HLA DRB gene failed to amplify from the DNA. Genus specific primers to the major outer membrane protein (MOMP) gene were used in a nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) in 41 atheromatous carotid specimens and paired controls. PCR inhibition was monitored by spiking with target C. trachomatis. Atheroma severity was graded histologically. Plasma samples were tested by microimmunofluorescence (MIF) for antibodies to C. pneumoniae, C. trachomatis and C. psittaci and the corresponding white cells were tested for Chlamydia spp. by nPCR., Results: C. pneumoniae was not detected in any carotid specimen. Twenty-five of 38 (66%) plasma specimens were positive for C. pneumoniae IgG, 2/38 (5%) for C. trachomatis IgG and 1/38 (3%) for C. psittaci IgG., Conclusions: We were unable to show an association between the presence of Chlamydia spp. and atheroma in carotid arteries in the presence of a high seroprevalence of C. pneumoniae antibodies in Northern Ireland.

Abstract

Chronic gastrointestinal inflammation is one of the most common types of inflammatory process which affects humans. It is diverse in aetiology, pathogenesis and manifestation. There are also features of chronic inflammation at different sites within the gastrointestinal tract which provide a common thread in terms of the approaches which may be used in investigating these intriguing processes. This paper provides an overview of the mucosal changes in chronic gastrointestinal inflammation. Conserved and variable features of inflammation at different sites extending from the oral cavity to the rectum are highlighted. The involvement of different inflammatory cell types within any diagnostic entity is considered and the progression from an acute to chronic inflammatory condition explored. Important issues in the maintenance of a chronic inflammatory state are the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory pressures, the driving force behind the inflammation and immune response that is occurring and the mechanisms for curtailment of unwanted or harmful responses which may damage the host. Thus inflammation is likely to result when there is persistence of a driving force and/or imbalance in the pro- and anti-inflammatory mechanisms in the tissue involved.

Abstract

Background & Aims: Studies have shown that gastric T cells are increased during Helicobacter pylori infection. The purpose of this study was to characterize the human gastric T-cell responses in the presence or absence of H. pylori., Methods: T-cell surface antigens were examined by immunohistochemistry or after isolation for evaluation of surface antigens and cytoplasmic cytokines using flow cytometry., Results: CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were increased in situ during infection with H. pylori. Freshly isolated gastric T cells expressed cytoplasmic interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin (IL)-2 after a brief stimulation. Simultaneous four-color flow cytometry demonstrated that both CD8+ and CD4+ T cells expressed IFN-gamma. Because stimulation through CD30 favors the induction of IL-5 and Th2 cells, gastric and colonic T cells were examined for CD30 expression. Consistent with the notion that Th2 cells are found in the intestine, CD30 was evident throughout the lamina propria of the colon but was virtually absent in the stomach. Furthermore, freshly isolated gastric T cells produced little IL-4 and virtually no IL-5 or tumor necrosis factor beta., Conclusions: These observations show that gastric T cells resemble the Th1 type, which may explain their failure to induce immunity to H. pylori and their ability to contribute to the pathogenesis of gastric disease.
