Gastric epithelial cell turnover and mucosal protection in Japanese children with Helicobacter pylori infection
2005
Background
In adults, epithelial cell proliferation and apoptosis of the gastric mucosa are induced by Helicobacter pylori infection and are associated with gastric atrophy or gastric carcinoma. In children, there are few studies about such epithelial changes. To elucidate the role of H. pylori infection in gastric mucosal inflammation, we immunohistochemically examined gastric mucosa of Japanese children.
