Brief Summary:
H pylori is transmitted from individual to individual and causes chronic active gastritis in all infected people H pylori infection can result in gastroduodenal ulcers atrophic gastritis AG gastric carcinoma and gastric MALT lymphoma
More than 90 of gastric carcinomas are linked to H pylori infection that causes chronic AG A long course of the disease leads to the loss of gastric glands chronic AG followed by gastric intestinal metaplasia GIM dysplasia and cancer This defines two cancer prevention strategies primary that consists of detection and eradication of H pylori and secondary that focuses on endoscopic screening for pre-neoplastic lesions and follow-up
Primary prevention planning requires reliable information on the H pylori prevalence in the population To design secondary prevention measures an understanding of the age-sex structure of precancerous changes in the gastric mucosa the prevalence of atrophic gastritis is necessary
H pylori eradication is the basis of primary prevention of gastric cancer GC Approximately 36000 new cases of GC are registered in the Russian Federation each year and more than 34000 patients die from the disease Men get sick 13 times more often than women the peak incidence occurs at the age of over 50 years The poor outcomes reflect the late stage of diagnosis of this potentially preventable and treatable cancer The lack of up-to-date data on the H pylori prevalence in Moscow hinders developing of measures for the detection and timely treatment of this infection as well as the reduction of GC morbidity and mortality

Detailed Description:
Aim to analyze the prevalence of H pylori infection and pre-neoplastic lesions in the gastric mucosa in the Moscow population to develop a strategy for gastric cancer and early detection
Main goals
1 To determine the prevalence of H pylori in the Moscow population according to the non-invasive diagnostic method - 13C-urea breath test
2 To determine the prevalence of H pylori in the Moscow population according to the serological method - level of IgG antibodies to Hpylori
3 To assess the prevalence of the gastric mucosa atrophy using serological markers pepsinogen-I pepsinogen-II and Gastrin-17 in the different age groups of the Moscow population
4 To assess the state of the gastric mucosa according to endoscopic and morphological studies using the OLGA system and their correlation with serological markers of atrophy pepsinogen I level less than 30 µgl andor pepsinogen Ipepsinogen II ratio less than 3
5 Develop recommendations for GC prevention and early detection strategy
The planned study will contain two sample cohorts
Cohort 1 Screening for H pylori infection is planned in 5121 citizens living in different administrative districts of Moscow The cohort will be formed based on age and sex structure of the Moscow population The presence of H pylori will be analyzed using 2 non-invasive methods - 13C-urease breath test and serological test detection of IgG antibodies to H pylori An epidemiological questionnaire will be filled out for each respondent which will display basic information on the patient gender age eating habits bad habits family history of cancer etc as well as characterize the main symptoms if any
Based on pepsinogen PG I levels and PG II serological markers of atrophy of the gastric mucosa patients with a high risk of atrophic gastritis and precancerous lesions in the gastric mucosa will be identified and the age and sex structure of atrophic gastritis prevalence in Moscow will be constructed
Cohort 2 From 5121 respondents 500 patients with confirmed H pylori infection and serological markers of atrophic gastritis and a control group of infected with H pylori without serological markers of gastric mucosa atrophy will be selected They will undergo esophagogastroduodenoscopy with two gastric mucosa biopsies The first will be conducted according to the OLGA system with a pathology assessment of the stage and degree of gastritis while the second will be taken to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of H polymerase chain reaction and culture Correlations between serological and patholgy data on atrophy will be assessed in order to determine the reliability of serological screening for atrophy in the Moscow population
Research methods Diagnostics of H pylori will be carried out using a modern non-invasive and accurate method - 13C-urea breath test 13C-UBT
13C-UBT is recognized as the gold standard in the non-invasive diagnosis of H pylori infection has a high sensitivity and specificity above 95 The test is easy to perform convenient for patients and has no side effects
The main reagent in this test is a solution of urea labeled with the carbon isotope C13 The test is based on the hydrolysis of urea by urease produced by H pylori that forms ammonia and CO2 After an individual takes a test solution with 13C-labeled urea 13C-labeled urea and then 13C carbon dioxide are absorbed into the bloodstream enter the lungs and are excreted with exhaled air Initially before taking the test solution the patients exhaled air is collected in a special sealed bag No 1 The patient then drinks the test solution After 30 minutes a second air sample is exhaled into bag No 2 that is also hermetically sealed Then the air samples are analyzed on an infrared spectrometer IR-force 200 that determines the isotope ratio 13С12С The increase in labeled CO2 is expressed as delta over baseline DOB A DOB greater than 20 is used as a diagnostic criterion for H pylori infection
The infrared IR spectrometers of IR-force generation consist of 13C and 12C isotope high selectivity detectors The specific absorption of CO2 in infrared light with a wavelength of 2-8 microns is used The spectrometer uses specific optical and mathematical principles to reduce the mutual influence of 13CO2 and 12CO2 which increases the accuracy of the instrument and guarantees the reliability of the entire system The IR analyzer determines the excess of the 13C12C ratio over the baseline ie level before taking 13C-urea In addition a thermostat is used to maintain a constant temperature and exclude the influence of the external environment
This test will be conducted in Moscow Clinical Research Center named after AS Loginov that is equipped with an IR-force infrared spectrometer and trained specialists
The second diagnostic test for the presence of H pylori infection is a serological method - the detection of IgG antibodies to H pylori This method is recommended for epidemiological studies but is inferior to the 13C-urease breath test in terms of sensitivity which is 76 to 84 while the specificity of the method is quite high - 90 The serological method is based on the detection of specific circulating antibodies to H pylori in the blood with enzyme immunoassay The serological analysis will be carried out in Moscow Clinical Research Center named after AS Loginov
Pepsinogens analyses will allow identifying chronic atrophic gastritis and can be used in large-cohorts screening to identify groups of individuals with a high risk of GC which would require further follow-up with basic endoscopy and pathology investigations The analysis of PG I provides information on the state of the glands in gastric fundus PG II - of all parts of the stomach and their ratio PG I PG II reflects the functional status of the gastric mucosa and closely correlates with the progression of atrophic changes in the gastric mucosa Normal test results indicate a good condition of the mucous membrane PG I - 30-165 µgl Pepsinogen II - 4 to 22 µgl PG I PG II ratio 3 Patients with a low concentration of pepsinogen I 30 ngml and a low PG I PG II ratio 3 are likely to have atrophic gastritis of the body of the stomach precancerous lesions metaplasia diplasia as well as adenocarcinoma that will have to be confirmed by endoscopic and pathology examination One of the diagnostic sets that assess the serum levels of PG I PG II and their ratio PG I PG II as well as determine the concentration of gastrin-17 and the presence of IgG antibodies to H pylori is GastroPanel The analysis will be carried out in one of the labs of Moscow Clinical Research Center named after AS Loginov using enzyme immunoassay
Upper endoscopy will be performed by endoscopists using modern endoscopes Fujinon EG-590WR Olimpus GIF-H190 and others while patient is sedated Using sterile biopsy forceps biopsy specimens will be taken from five areas of the stomach two biopsy specimens - greater and lesser curvature of the antrum of the stomach two biopsy specimens - lesser and greater curvature or anterior and posterior wall of the body of the stomach and one from the corner of the stomach for pathology assessment Pathology assessment of the gastritis stage and degree will be conducted according to the OLGA system developed by the international group of gastroenterologists and pathologists Atrophy Club
The stage of atrophy will be assessed on a 4-point scale from 0 to 3 depending on the percentage of atrophied glands No atrophy 0 - 0 points mild atrophy 1-30 - 1 point moderate atrophy 31-60 - 2 points and 3 points - severe atrophy more than 60 The obtained data in points will be compared with the developed tables and determine the stage of gastritis from 0 to IV The degree of gastritis reflects the severity of inflammation is assessed in the same biopsy specimens by the lymphoplasmacytic and leukocytic infiltration dense in accordance with the visual analog scale and is expressed in accordance with its assessment table in gradations from 0 to IV
