(Uncorrected OCR) Abstract of thesis entitled The Pathology, Diagnosis and Treatment of Helicobacter pylori Infection Submitted by Wong Wai Man, Raymond for the degree of Doctor of Medicine at The University of Hong Kong in July 2001 The aims of this thesis were 1) to study Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) related mucosal pathology; 2) to evaluate the best diagnostic test for H. pylori; and 3) to test the efficacy of 3 different therapies for H. pylori infection. Pseudopyloric metaplasia represents a metaplasia of the pyloric glands and is closely associated with hyperplasia of the mucous neck cells (MNC). Both MNC hyperplasia and pseudopyloric metaplasia were associated with H. pylori gastritis. This lineage expressed TFF2, MUC6, PSTI and lysozyme. Ulcerative associated cell lineage was seen to arise from pre-existing crypts in areas of intestinal metaplasia, and plays no part in the histogenesis of pseudopyloric metaplasia. Intestinal metaplasia, which is a H. pylori related pre-malignant lesion of the gastric mucosa, showed evidence of cell cycle de- regulation in the goblet and Paneth cell lineages but not in endocrine cell lineage, which have considerable implications for the biology of intestinal metaplasia. Helicobacter pylori infection can be diagnosed by invasive and noninvasive tests. Five invasive tests and one non- invasive test were evaluated. For routine clinical use, histology, rapid urease test and 13C_ Urea breath test (13C_ UBT) had an accuracy of 100%, 99.7%and 94.5% respectively. For research purposes, the accuracy of two positives out of three diagnostic tests was equally reliable. A new rapid urease test, the PyloriTek test was evaluated for the diagnosis of H. pylori infection before and after eradication therapy. It is highly accurate and one biopsy from the antrum was reliable. A simplified 75gm 13C_ UBT was evaluated in Chinese population. The optimal delta-value and optimal measurement interval for UBT were 5%0 and 30 minutes respectively.

The link between Helicobacter pylori infection and ulcer disease has been one of the most significant discoveries in the past decade. The role of this organism in the development of non-ulcer dyspepsia, gastric cancer, lymphoma and even heart disease is also attracting much interest. For those whose speciality lies outside of gastroenterology it is extremely difficult to keep abreast of this rapidly moving area. In the last year alone (1998), 1,300 works on Helicobacter pylori have been published. With this in mind, The Helicobacter pylori Handbook/b> provides a concise and up-to-date review of H.pylori infection, with updated sections on its diagnosis and treatment, and the position of H.pylori eradication in the management of gastrointestinal disorders.

The isolation and identification of Helicobacter pylori as the cause of gastrointestinal diseases had major implications for public health and led to curative treatments that reduced suffering from many acute and chronic conditions. Although alternative therapies have been used to improve eradication, current treatments still rely on a combination of antimicrobial agents often associated with antisecretory agents, such as proton pump inhibitors. In this book there is a comprehensive overview by contributors on H. pylori infection in diverse areas, including a general overview of H. pylori infection, and discussions about the principal therapeutic regimens of bacterium eradication, considering antimicrobial resistance. Also, certain aspects of autoimmune gastritis, an important condition that has been related to microorganism infection, is also considered. H. pylori is clearly a very interesting bacterium and great studies and discussions about all its aspects are welcomed by the medical and scientific communities.

Testing and diagnosis of hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) infection is the gateway for access to both prevention and treatment services, and is a crucial component of an effective response to the hepatitis epidemic. Early identification of persons with chronic HBV or HCV infection enables them to receive the necessary care and treatment to prevent or delay progression of liver disease. Testing also provides an opportunity to link people to interventions to reduce transmission, through counselling on risk behaviors and provision of prevention commodities (such as sterile needles and syringes) and hepatitis B vaccination. These are the first WHO guidelines on testing for chronic HBV and HCV infection and complement published guidance by WHO on the prevention, care and treatment of chronic hepatitis C and hepatitis B infection. These guidelines outline the public health approach to strengthening and expanding current testing practices for HBV and HCV, and are intended for use across age groups and populations.
