Avaliação dos fatores de risco de mortalidade no tratamento cirúrgico das úlceras gástrica e duodenal perfuradas / Evaluation of risk factors for mortality in the surgical treatment of perforated duodenal and gastric ulcers.

Paulo Evangelista da Rocha 01 December 2003 (has links)
Motivação: A introdução do medicamento antagonista H2, e a descoberta do papel do Helicobacter pylori, na patogênese da úlcera péptica, diminuiu a indicação cirúrgica da doença ulcerosa. Todavia, a incidência de perfuração na doença ulcerosa tem se mantido constante, e o tratamento cirúrgico é a conduta mais indicada. A mortalidade nesta circunstância continua expressiva. Objetivo: Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar possíveis fatores de risco de mortalidade no tratamento da úlcera gastroduodenal perfurada tratada com cirurgia. Casuística e métodos: Foram estudados 311 pacientes (268 do sexo masculino e 43 do sexo feminino), sendo 242 portadores de úlcera duodenal e 69 de úlcera gástrica, no período de janeiro de 1997 a dezembro de 2000. Ocorreram 35 óbitos (11,25%). Analisaram-se os seguintes fatores: idade, sexo, tabagismo, etilismo, doença ulcerosa prévia, uso de antiinflamatório, pneumoperitônio, doenças concomitantes, choque na admissão, tempo de perfuração, peritonite, tipo de cirurgia e local de perfuração. Os fatores de risco de mortalidade nos dois tipos de úlcera foram comparados descritivamente utilizando-se o odds ratio, os percentuais de mortalidade, o teste de Zelen e análise de regressão logística univariada e multivariada. Destaca-se que a maioria do pacientes foi submetida ao tratamento cirúrgico não definitivo, sendo o critério utilizado para definir o tipo de cirurgia determinado por escolha aleatória da equipe cirúrgica. Resultados: Os fatores de risco associados à mortalidade na úlcera gastroduodenal perfurada identificados na análise univariada foram: idade (UG), pneumoperitônio, doenças concomitantes, local de perfuração, choque na admissão e tempo de perfuração. A presença do pneumoperitônio é um sinal radiológico importante no diagnóstico da úlcera gastroduodenal perfurada. Na sua ausência, ocorreu aumento de incidência de mortalidade. A incidência de mortalidade na úlcera gástrica perfurada foi maior no idoso. Na úlcera gástrica a incidência de mortalidade foi maior do que na úlcera duodenal. Entretanto, a análise multivariada mostrou que os fatores de risco independentes preditivos de mortalidade foram na úlcera duodenal: tempo de perfuração maior que 24 horas, doenças concomitantes e choque na admissão e na úlcera gástrica: idade, tempo de perfuração maior que 24 horas e choque na admissão. Conclusões: O risco aumentado de mortalidade na úlcera gastroduodenal perfurada pode ser previsto quando os pacientes apresentam idade avançada (UG), doenças concomitantes (UD), tempo de perfuração maior que 24 horas, e choque na admissão hospitalar / Motivation: The introduction of the H2 antagonist drug and the discovery that the Helicobacter pylori played a role in the pathogenesis of the peptic ulcer caused a decrease in the indication of surgical treatment for ulcer disease. However, the incidence of perforation in ulcer disease has remained constant, and surgical treatment is the most indicated treatment modality. In these cases, the rate of mortality is still significant. Objective: This paper aimed at analyzing the risk factors for mortality in the surgically treated perforated gastroduodenal ulcer. Cases and methods: 311 patients were studied (268 males and 43 females), seeing that 242 were duodenal ulcer carriers and 69 gastric ulcer, in the period from January 1997 to December 2000. Thirty-five patients died (11,25%). The following factors were analyzed: age, sex, smoking, chronic alcohol consumption, previous ulcer disease, use of anti-inflammatory medication, pneumoperitoneum, concomitant diseases, shock upon admittance, time lapsed since perforation, peritonitis, type of surgery and perforation site. The risk factors for mortality in the two types of ulcer were compared descriptively, using the odds ratio, percentage of mortality, the Zelen test and the univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. It is worth pointing out that most of the patients had undergone nondefinitive surgical treatment and the criterion used to decide the type of surgery was random selection by the surgical team. Results: The risk factors associated to mortality in the perforated gastroduodenal ulcer identified by the univariate analisys were: age (GU), pneumoperitoneum, concomitant diseases, perforation site, shock upon admittance, time lapsed since perforation, peritonitis and type of surgery. The presence of pneumoperitoneum is an important radiological sign for the diagnosis of the perforated peptic ulcer. When this diagnostic tool was not used, an increase in the incidence of mortality was observed. The incidence of mortality for perforated gastric ulcers was higher in elderly patients. The incidence of mortality was higher for gastric ulcers relative to duodenal ulcers. However, the multivariate analysis showed that independent predictive risk factors for mortality were the following, for the duodenal ulcer: time lapse of more than 24 hours since perforation, severe coexisting diseases and shock at the time of admittance; for gastric ulcer: age, time lapse of more than 24 hours, from moment perforation and shock at the time of admittance. Conclusion: The increased risk of mortality for perforated duodenal ulcer can be predicted when the patients are elderly (GU), when there are concomitant diseases (DU), the time lapsed from the moment of perforation exceeds 24 hours, and when the patients are in shock at the time of admittance

Eosinófilos duodenais : potencial associação com a infecção pelo Helicobacter pylori e com os sintomas da dispepsia funcional

Mazzoleni, Felipe January 2017 (has links)
Introdução e objetivos: Eosinofilia duodenal está associada com parasitoses intestinais e com alergias alimentares, e tem sido sugerida como possível fator etiológico da dispepsia funcional, pela capacidade de causar alterações na motilidade e na sensibilidade do aparelho digestivo. Sua relação com o Helicobacter pylori é pouco conhecida, tendo sido avaliada apenas como achado secundário em alguns estudos, com resultados controversos. Esse estudo tem como objetivos avaliar o papel da infecção gástrica pelo H. pylori no número de eosinófilos duodenais e avaliar a relação dos eosinófilos duodenais com os sintomas da dispepsia funcional. Métodos: foram avaliados 100 pacientes dispépticos funcionais, de acordo com os critérios de Roma III, dos quais 50 foram H. pylori positivos e 50 negativos. Os pacientes foram submetidos à endoscopia digestiva alta com biópsias gástricas e duodenais. A positividade do H. pylori foi avaliada pelo teste de urease e pelo exame histológico (Hematoxilina-eosina e Giemsa). As biópsias duodenais foram avaliadas com hematoxilina-eosina e a número de eosinófilos duodenais foi quantificada pela média de eosinófilos por 5 campos de grande aumento (CGA) aleatórios e não sobrepostos. Eosinofilia duodenal foi definida pela presença de >22 eosinófilos/CGA. As medianas das médias aritméticas dos eosinófilos duodenais por cinco CGA foram comparadas entre os pacientes H. pylori positivos e negativos. Também foi avaliada a relação do número de eosinófilos duodenais com a intensidade e tipo de sintomas dispépticos, determinados por questionário validado (PADYQ). Os eosinófilos duodenais foram avaliados para variáveis demográficas e endoscópicas. Resultados: Pacientes do sexo feminino representaram 88% da amostra e a idade média foi de 41,7 anos As características basais dos pacientes H. pylori positivos e H. pylori negativos foram semelhantes. Apenas um paciente, no grupo H. pylori positivo, apresentou eosinofilia duodenal. As medianas dos eosinófilos duodenais/CGA foram 4,6 [P25-75: 2,8-7,2] nos pacientes H. pylori negativos e 4,7 [P25-75: 3,4-8,4] nos H. pylori positivos (p= 0,403). O número de eosinófilos 8 duodenais foi significativamente maior em pacientes com sintomas mais intensos: pacientes com escore do PADYQ >22 (>50% da pontuação máxima) apresentaram mediana de eosinófilos duodenais/CGA de 5,4 [P25-75: 3,4–7,6] e pacientes com escore ≤22 de 3,4 [P25-75: 2,2–6,0] (p= 0,018). Os pacientes foram divididos em tercis, de acordo com a intensidade dos sintomas: grupo 1 com 31 pacientes (sintomas leves); grupo 2 com 30 pacientes (sintomas moderados); e grupo 3 com 31 pacientes (sintomas acentuados). A mediana dos eosinófilos duodenais/CGA no grupo 1 foi de 3,4 [P25-75: 2,2 -6,0]; no grupo 2 de 4,7 [P25-75: 3,2-6,4]; e o grupo 3 de 5,8 [P25-75: 3,6-8,2] (P=0,033). Houve diferença estatisticamente significativa no número de eosinófilos duodenais entre fumantes e não fumantes (p= 0,030) e entre pacientes com índice de massa corporal (IMC) <25 kg/m2 e IMC ≥ 25 kg/m2 (p= 0,035). Na análise multivariada por regressão linear, os fatores que tiveram influência sobre o número de eosinófilos duodenais foram o tabagismo (p= 0,026) e a intensidade dos sintomas dispépticos (p= 0,039). Conclusões: Esse estudo não mostrou associação entre a infecção pelo H. pylori e a contagem de eosinófilos duodenais, nessa população de pacientes dispépticos funcionais. Entretanto, foi demonstrada uma relação diretamente proporcional e estatisticamente significativa entre o número de eosinófilos duodenais e a intensidade dos sintomas dispépticos. / Background and Aims: Duodenal eosinophilia is associated with intestinal parasitosis and food allergies. It has also been implicated as a potential factor on the etiology of functional dyspepsia, probably by causing changes in digestive tract motility and sensitivity. The association with Helicobacter pylori is poorly understood, and has been only evaluated as a secondary finding in 9 previous studies, with conflicting results. This study aims to evaluate the potential role of gastric H. pylori infection in the duodenal eosinophil count, and the influence of duodenal eosinophils on symptoms in functional dyspeptic subjects. Methods: One hundred functional dyspeptic subjects, according to Rome III criteria, were evaluated, and 50 were H. pylori positive and 50 H. pylori negative. Patients were submitted to upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with gastric and duodenal biopsies. H. pylori positivity was evaluated by urease test and gastric histology (Hematoxylin-eosin and Giemsa). Duodenal biopsies were evaluated with Hematoxylin-Eosin staining, and the duodenal eosinophil count was determined by the mean of eosinophil by 5 random nonoverlapping high power fields (HPF). Duodenal eosinophilia was defined as >22 eosinophils/HPF. The median of the arithmetic means of the duodenal eosinophils counts per high power field were compared between H. pylori positive and H. pylori negative subjects. The relationship between the number of duodenal eosinophils and the intensity and type of dyspeptic symptoms was determined by validated questionnaire (PADYQ). Duodenal eosinophils counts were also evaluated by demographic variables and endoscopic findings. Results: 88% of the subjects were female and the mean age was 41.7 years. Baseline characteristics were similar between H. pylori positive and H. pylori negative subjects. Only one patient, in the H. pylori positive group, had duodenal eosinophilia. The median duodenal eosinophils/HPF were 4.6 [Percentiles 25-75(P25-75): 2.8-7.2] in H. pylori negative and 4.7 [P25-75: 3.4-8.4] in H. pylori positive subjects (p= 0.403). The duodenal eosinophil count was greater in subjects with higher symptoms severity: patients with PADYQ score more than 22 (>50% of the maximum score) had median duodenal eosinophil/HPF of 5.4 [P25-75: 3,4–7,6] and subjects with PADYQ score ≤22 of 3.4 [P25-75: 2.2–6.0] (p= 0.018). The patients were divided into terciles, according to symptoms severity: group 1 with 31 subjects (mild symptoms); group 2 with 30 subjects (moderate symptoms); and group 3 with 31 subjects (severe symptoms). 10 The median duodenal eosinophils/HPF was 3.4 [P25-75: 2.2-6.0] in group 1; 4.7 [P25-75: 3.2-6.4] in group 2; and 5.8 [P25-75: 3.6-8.2] in group 3 (p=0.033). There was a higher duodenal eosinophils count in smokers (current or former) (p=0.030), and subjects with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 (p=0.035). In the multivariate analysis by linear regression, the duodenal eosinophil count were influenced by smoking (p = 0.026) and dyspeptic symptoms severity (p= 0.039). Conclusion: This study did not show an association between H. pylori infection and the number of duodenal eosinophils, in this population of functional dyspeptic patients. However, a directly proportional and statistically significant relationship between the number of duodenal eosinophils and the intensity of dyspeptic symptoms has been demonstrated.

Indicadores na estimativa do fluxo de nutrientes no duodeno, produção fecal, consumo de concentrado e volumoso por bovinos /

Cezimbra, Ian Machado. January 2010 (has links)
Orientadora: Telma Teresinha Berchielli / Banca: Izabelle Auxiliadora Molina de Almeida Teixeira / Banca: Paulo Henrique Moura Dian / Resumo: Os objetivos foram avaliar diferentes formas de dosagem de indicadores (infusão contínua 24h, e duas doses diária de indicador) e verificar sua precisão e acurácia para estimativa do fluxo duodenal de matéria seca (MS), consumo de concentrado, consumo de volumoso, produção fecal e digestibilidade aparente da MS em bovinos. No experimento 1, seis animais receberam os indicadores Cr-EDTA e YbCl3 através de uma bomba de infusão contínua, via fístula ruminal durante seis dias de adaptação nos dois períodos de 17 dias, enquanto os outros seis animais receberam os mesmos indicadores em duas dosagens diárias (8h e às 19h). No experimento 2, doze animais receberam os indicadores Cr-EDTA, YbCl3, LIPE®LÍQUIDO, FDNi e FDAi, em duas doses diárias que foram utilizados nas estimativas do fluxo duodenal de matéria seca (MS) pelo método de único e duplo indicador. Os indicadores TiO2 e LIPE®LÍQUIDO foram utilizados para estimativa do consumo de concentrado, produção fecal, digestibilidade aparente e os indicadores internos, FDNi e FDAi para estimar consumo de volumoso, produção fecal e digestibilidade. No experimento 1, o delineamento utilizado foi inteiramente casualisado em parcelas subdivididas com dois tratamentos em dois períodos. No experimento 2, o delineamento foi o de blocos em parcelas subdivididas. As médias foram comparadas pelo teste tukey a 5%. No experimento 1 não foram observadas diferenças entre as formas de fornecimento dos indicadores (P>0,05). No experimento 2, a FDNi estimou o fluxo de digesta no duodeno e a produção fecal e o consumo de volumoso. A estimativa do consumo de volumoso através do FDNi e FDAi foram semelhantes ao observado (P>0,05). O TiO2 e LIPE®LÍQUIDO foram acurados na estimativa do consumo de concentrado / Abstract: The objectives of this study were to evaluate by two metabolism trials different ways to dose markers (by continuous infusion for 24 hours and by two doses of marker per day) and also to study the accuracy and reliability of differents markers to estimate duodenal flow of nutrients concentrate intake, roughage intake, fecal production and apparent digestibility of dry matter (DM) in cattle. Twelve crossbred heifers were used in both experiments with average body weight of 361.7kg ± 59 and approximately 24 months of age, cannulated in the rumen and duodenum. In experiment 1, six animals received the markers Cr-EDTA, YbCl3 by continuous infusion via ruminal fistula in two periods of 17 days, while the other six animals received the same markers in twice daily dosing (8 and 7hours). In experiment 2, animals received the twelve markers twice daily during the experimental periods. Markers Cr-EDTA, YbCl3, LIPE®LIQUID, iNDF and iADF were used in the estimation of duodenal flow of nutrients by the method of single and double markers. Markers TiO2 and LIPE®LIQUID were used to estimate concentrate intake, fecal output, digestibility of DM and internal markers, iNDF and iADF to estimate forage intake, digestibility and fecal production. In experiment 1, a split plot design was used with two treatments (supply), six replicates in two periods. In experiment 2, the experimental design was randomized blocks in split plots, where the markers were considered as treatments. In both experiments, the means were compared by Tukey test at 5%. In experiments 1, there were no differences between the ways to supply the marker (P>0.05). In experiment 2, the iNDF was the best variable to predict digest flow in the duodenum and fecal production. iNDF and iADF were not d significantly different when the average intake of roughage were compared with the observed. The TiO2 was not significantly different... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Gastrointestinal Physiology and Results following Bariatric Surgery

Hedberg, Jakob January 2010 (has links)
The number of operations for morbid obesity is rising fast. We have examined aspects of postoperative physiology and results after bariatric surgery. The pH in the proximal pouch after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) was investigated with catheter-based and wire-less technique. Gastric emptying, PYY-levels in the fasting state and after a standardized meal was evaluated after biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (DS). A clinical trial was undertaken, comparing DS to RYGBP in patients with BMI&gt;48. Main outcome variables were safety and long-term weight results as well as abdominal symptoms and laboratory results. Patients with stomal ulcer had significantly lower pH in their proximal gastric pouch as compared to asymptomatic control subjects. Long-time pH measurements with the wire-less BRAVO-system were feasible and demonstrated pH&lt;4 in median 10.5% of the time in asymptomatic post-RYGBP patients. After DS, the T50 of gastric emptying was 28±16 minutes. PYY-levels were higher after DS than in age-matched control subjects. BMI-reduction was greater after DS (24 BMI-units) than after RYGBP (17 BMI-units) in median 3.5 (2.0-5.3) years after surgery (p&lt;0.001). Fasting glucose and HbA1c levels were lower one and three years after DS as compared to RYGBP. On the other hand, DS-patients reported having more diarrhea and malodorous flatus. This thesis has resulted in deepened knowledge. Acid produced in the proximal pouch is an important pathogenetic factor in the development of stomal ulcer after RYGBP. However, symptom-free patients have an acidic environment in the proximal Roux-limb as well. After DS, gastric emptying is fast, but not instantaneous, and PYY-levels are high. DS results in superior weight reduction and better glucose control as compared to RYGBP in patients with BMI&gt;48. We believe that DS has a place in surgical treatment of the super-obese, even though symptoms of diarrhea and malodorous flatus are more common after DS.

Genetic polymorphism in interleukin-1B and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist on gastric cancer and duodenal ulcer

Li, Chin-Ni 10 July 2002 (has links)
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a prototypic multifunctional cytokine. IL-1 family include interleukin-1 a (IL-1 a), interleukin-1b (IL-1 b) and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1 Ra). IL-1 b is the archetypeal pleiotropic cytokine which have been produced by many cells and exerting its biological effects on almost all cell types. IL-1 b is the most potent of known agents that are gastric cytoprotective, antiulcer, antisecretory and an inhibitor of gastric emptying. IL-1 Ra competes with IL-1 b for cell surface receptor occupancy. Host genetic factors that affect interleukin-1 (IL-1) have been reported to influence the susceptibility of Caucasians to gastric cancer. Whether Asians have the same genetic susceptibility remains unclear. In this study, the genetic associations of IL-1B and IL-1RN polymorphisms with gastric cancer and duodenal ulcer in Taiwan were evaluated. Genomic DNA from 140 unrelated Taiwanese patients with gastric adenocarcinoma, 94 with duodenal ulcer and 165 ethically matched healthy controls was typed for polymorphisms at positions ¡V31, -511, and +3954 in the IL-1B gene, and the variable number of tandem repeats polymorphisms in intron 2 of the IL-1RN gene. The allele frequencies of IL-1RN 2R in gastric cancer cases were much higher than those in healthy controls (9% vs. 3%, p = 0.781). The allele frequencies of IL-1B ¡V31, IL-1B ¡V511 and IL-1B +3954 did not differ. An increased risk of the development of intestinal type gastric carcinoma was found in IL-1RN 2R carriers with an odds ratio (OR) of 4.06 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.68 ¡V 9.79, p-value=0.085). And another increased risk of the development of diffuse type gastric carcinoma was found in IL-1RN 2R carriers with an odds ratio (OR) of 3.15 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.16 ¡V 8.56, p-value=0.061). A significant association was found in IL-1RN 2R/4R genotype and the risk of the development of duodenal ulcer, with an odds ratio (OR) of 2.57 (95% CI: 1.03 ¡V 6.38, p = 0.292). No significant relationship was noted in duodenal ulcer patients with IL-1B genotype examed in this study. Additionally, a synergistic interaction between blood type A and IL-1 RN 2R carriers existed in gastric cancer patients (OR= 4.51; 95% CI: 1.20 ¡V 16.88, p-value=0.516). The synergistic interaction was even stronger between blood type O and IL-1 RN 2R carriers of duodenal ulcer patients (OR= 10.3; 95% CI: 2.10 ¡V 50.61, p-value=0.160). In conclusion, the genetic polymorphisms of IL-1RN 2R and blood type A are associated with the development of gastric cancer. The genetic polymorphisms of IL-1RN 2R and blood type O are associated with the development of duodenal ulcer.

However, a directly proportional and statistically significant relationship between the number of duodenal eosinophils and the intensity of dyspeptic symptoms has been demonstrated.

Estimativa do fluxo de nutrientes pelo trato digestivo de bovinos de corte alimentados com Brachiaria brizantha (Hochst A. Rich) Stapf. cv. Marandu em duas idades de rebrota /

Queiroz, Maria Fernanda Soares. January 2007 (has links)
Orientadora: Telma Teresinha Berchielli Moreno / Banca: Ana Cláudia Ruggieri / Banca: Adriana de Souza Martins / Resumo: Avaliou-se o efeito de 30 e 60 dias de rebrota do capim Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu sobre o consumo e digestibilidade aparente da matéria seca e nutrientes, parâmetros ruminais e fluxo de nutrientes duodenal pelo método de único indicador em bovinos de corte. Foram utilizados os indicadores óxido de cromio (Cr2O3), fibra em detergente neutro indigestível (FDNi) e fibra em detergente ácido indigestível (FDAi) para a estimativa de fluxo de nutrientes. Entre os principais resultados observados nota-se que os consumos de matéria seca (MS), matéria orgânica (MO), fibra em detergente neutro (FDN) e fibra em detergente ácido (FDA) não foram influenciados pela idade de rebrota do capim e a digestibilidade da proteína bruta (PB), FDN e FDA foram menores para o capim aos 60 dias de rebrota. O pico de concentração de nitrogênio amoniacal no rúmen foi observado 2 h após a alimentação e foi maior em animais alimentados com capim aos 30 dias de rebrota. A concentração de acetato:propionato:butirato observada foi 74:18:8 (%), esperada para dietas exclusivas de forragens. Bovinos consumindo o capim Brachiaria brizantha nas idades de rebrota de 30 e 60 dias apresentaram fluxo duodenal de nutrientes semelhantes. Os indicadores Cr2O3, FDNi e FDAi superestimaram a produção fecal e apresentaram baixa recuperação nas fezes. Na estimativa do fluxo de nutrientes pelo duodeno o indicador FDNi apresentou a estimativa mais adequada. O indicador Cr2O3 superestimou o fluxo duodenal de nutrientes. / Abstract: Trials were carried out to evaluate the effect of 30 and 60 days of regrowth of the grass Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu in intake and apparent digestibility of dry matter and nutrients, in ruminal parameters and in duodenal flow of nutrients by single marker method in beef cattle. The markers chromium oxide (Cr2O3), indigestible neutral detergent fiber (INDF) and indigestible acid detergent fiber (IADF) were used for estimate the flow of nutrients. Among the main observed results is that the intake of dry matter (DM), organic (OM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) were not influenced by the regrowth ages of the grass and the digestibilities of crude protein (CP), NDF and ADF were smaller for the grass to the 60 days of regrowth. After 2 hours of the feeding the pick of concentration of amoniacal nitrogen was observed in the rumen and was bigger in animals fed with grass to the 30 days of regrowth. The concentration of acetate:propionate:butirate observed was 74:18:8 (%), inside of the expected for forages exclusive diets. Bovines consuming the grass Brachiaria brizantha in regrowth ages of 30 and 60 days presented similar duodenal flow of nutrients. The markers Cr2O3, INDF and IADF overestimated the fecal production and they presented low recovery in the feces. In the duodenal nutrients flow estimate with results of the total fecal output, the marker INDF presented the most appropriate estimate while the marker Cr2O3 overestimated the duodenal flow. / Mestre

Eosinófilos duodenais : potencial associação com a infecção pelo Helicobacter pylori e com os sintomas da dispepsia funcional

Mazzoleni, Felipe January 2017 (has links)
Introdução e objetivos: Eosinofilia duodenal está associada com parasitoses intestinais e com alergias alimentares, e tem sido sugerida como possível fator etiológico da dispepsia funcional, pela capacidade de causar alterações na motilidade e na sensibilidade do aparelho digestivo. Sua relação com o Helicobacter pylori é pouco conhecida, tendo sido avaliada apenas como achado secundário em alguns estudos, com resultados controversos. Esse estudo tem como objetivos avaliar o papel da infecção gástrica pelo H. pylori no número de eosinófilos duodenais e avaliar a relação dos eosinófilos duodenais com os sintomas da dispepsia funcional. Métodos: foram avaliados 100 pacientes dispépticos funcionais, de acordo com os critérios de Roma III, dos quais 50 foram H. pylori positivos e 50 negativos. Os pacientes foram submetidos à endoscopia digestiva alta com biópsias gástricas e duodenais. A positividade do H. pylori foi avaliada pelo teste de urease e pelo exame histológico (Hematoxilina-eosina e Giemsa). As biópsias duodenais foram avaliadas com hematoxilina-eosina e a número de eosinófilos duodenais foi quantificada pela média de eosinófilos por 5 campos de grande aumento (CGA) aleatórios e não sobrepostos. Eosinofilia duodenal foi definida pela presença de >22 eosinófilos/CGA. As medianas das médias aritméticas dos eosinófilos duodenais por cinco CGA foram comparadas entre os pacientes H. pylori positivos e negativos. Também foi avaliada a relação do número de eosinófilos duodenais com a intensidade e tipo de sintomas dispépticos, determinados por questionário validado (PADYQ). Os eosinófilos duodenais foram avaliados para variáveis demográficas e endoscópicas. Resultados: Pacientes do sexo feminino representaram 88% da amostra e a idade média foi de 41,7 anos As características basais dos pacientes H. pylori positivos e H. pylori negativos foram semelhantes. Apenas um paciente, no grupo H. pylori positivo, apresentou eosinofilia duodenal. As medianas dos eosinófilos duodenais/CGA foram 4,6 [P25-75: 2,8-7,2] nos pacientes H. pylori negativos e 4,7 [P25-75: 3,4-8,4] nos H. pylori positivos (p= 0,403). O número de eosinófilos 8 duodenais foi significativamente maior em pacientes com sintomas mais intensos: pacientes com escore do PADYQ >22 (>50% da pontuação máxima) apresentaram mediana de eosinófilos duodenais/CGA de 5,4 [P25-75: 3,4–7,6] e pacientes com escore ≤22 de 3,4 [P25-75: 2,2–6,0] (p= 0,018). Os pacientes foram divididos em tercis, de acordo com a intensidade dos sintomas: grupo 1 com 31 pacientes (sintomas leves); grupo 2 com 30 pacientes (sintomas moderados); e grupo 3 com 31 pacientes (sintomas acentuados). A mediana dos eosinófilos duodenais/CGA no grupo 1 foi de 3,4 [P25-75: 2,2 -6,0]; no grupo 2 de 4,7 [P25-75: 3,2-6,4]; e o grupo 3 de 5,8 [P25-75: 3,6-8,2] (P=0,033). Houve diferença estatisticamente significativa no número de eosinófilos duodenais entre fumantes e não fumantes (p= 0,030) e entre pacientes com índice de massa corporal (IMC) <25 kg/m2 e IMC ≥ 25 kg/m2 (p= 0,035). Na análise multivariada por regressão linear, os fatores que tiveram influência sobre o número de eosinófilos duodenais foram o tabagismo (p= 0,026) e a intensidade dos sintomas dispépticos (p= 0,039). Conclusões: Esse estudo não mostrou associação entre a infecção pelo H. pylori e a contagem de eosinófilos duodenais, nessa população de pacientes dispépticos funcionais. Entretanto, foi demonstrada uma relação diretamente proporcional e estatisticamente significativa entre o número de eosinófilos duodenais e a intensidade dos sintomas dispépticos. / Background and Aims: Duodenal eosinophilia is associated with intestinal parasitosis and food allergies. It has also been implicated as a potential factor on the etiology of functional dyspepsia, probably by causing changes in digestive tract motility and sensitivity. The association with Helicobacter pylori is poorly understood, and has been only evaluated as a secondary finding in 9 previous studies, with conflicting results. This study aims to evaluate the potential role of gastric H. pylori infection in the duodenal eosinophil count, and the influence of duodenal eosinophils on symptoms in functional dyspeptic subjects. Methods: One hundred functional dyspeptic subjects, according to Rome III criteria, were evaluated, and 50 were H. pylori positive and 50 H. pylori negative. Patients were submitted to upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with gastric and duodenal biopsies. H. pylori positivity was evaluated by urease test and gastric histology (Hematoxylin-eosin and Giemsa). Duodenal biopsies were evaluated with Hematoxylin-Eosin staining, and the duodenal eosinophil count was determined by the mean of eosinophil by 5 random nonoverlapping high power fields (HPF). Duodenal eosinophilia was defined as >22 eosinophils/HPF. The median of the arithmetic means of the duodenal eosinophils counts per high power field were compared between H. pylori positive and H. pylori negative subjects. The relationship between the number of duodenal eosinophils and the intensity and type of dyspeptic symptoms was determined by validated questionnaire (PADYQ). Duodenal eosinophils counts were also evaluated by demographic variables and endoscopic findings. Results: 88% of the subjects were female and the mean age was 41.7 years. Baseline characteristics were similar between H. pylori positive and H. pylori negative subjects. Only one patient, in the H. pylori positive group, had duodenal eosinophilia. The median duodenal eosinophils/HPF were 4.6 [Percentiles 25-75(P25-75): 2.8-7.2] in H. pylori negative and 4.7 [P25-75: 3.4-8.4] in H. pylori positive subjects (p= 0.403). The duodenal eosinophil count was greater in subjects with higher symptoms severity: patients with PADYQ score more than 22 (>50% of the maximum score) had median duodenal eosinophil/HPF of 5.4 [P25-75: 3,4–7,6] and subjects with PADYQ score ≤22 of 3.4 [P25-75: 2.2–6.0] (p= 0.018). The patients were divided into terciles, according to symptoms severity: group 1 with 31 subjects (mild symptoms); group 2 with 30 subjects (moderate symptoms); and group 3 with 31 subjects (severe symptoms). 10 The median duodenal eosinophils/HPF was 3.4 [P25-75: 2.2-6.0] in group 1; 4.7 [P25-75: 3.2-6.4] in group 2; and 5.8 [P25-75: 3.6-8.2] in group 3 (p=0.033). There was a higher duodenal eosinophils count in smokers (current or former) (p=0.030), and subjects with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 (p=0.035). In the multivariate analysis by linear regression, the duodenal eosinophil count were influenced by smoking (p = 0.026) and dyspeptic symptoms severity (p= 0.039). Conclusion: This study did not show an association between H. pylori infection and the number of duodenal eosinophils, in this population of functional dyspeptic patients. However, a directly proportional and statistically significant relationship between the number of duodenal eosinophils and the intensity of dyspeptic symptoms has been demonstrated.
