The study aims to determine the Seroprevalence of anti-H. pylori antibodies in patients with peptic complaints using indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA), and compare serology with histological examination of biopsies from upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of this assay. The Study sample included 120 participants divided into two groups: 69 patients with peptic complaints who underwent upper GI endoscopy in Al-Assad Hospital in Lattakia (average age 47 years old), and 51 volunteers without peptic complaints (average age 33 years old). The study was conducted in the period between February 2011 and March 2012. Indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) was used to study the seroprevalence of anti-H. pylori antibodies and fluorescence intensity in the two groups. The results showed that 63 of the patients group (91.3%) and 39 of volunteers (76.47%) are anti-H. pylori antibodies positive. The comparison of serology with histological examination of biopsies showed a sensitivity and specificity of 78% and 80% respectively in the presence of moderate and strong degree of fluorescence. The results reveal the importance of IFA as a non-invasive screening test besides the endoscopy, and the utility of this technique for the epidemiologic studies in a local setting.

Research summary
تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تحديد معدل إيجابية أضداد الملتوية البوابية في المصل لدى مرضى الشكايات الهضمية باستخدام تقنية التألق المناعي غير المباشر (IFA) ومقارنة النتائج المصلية مع نتائج الفحص النسيجي للخزعات المأخوذة بالتنظير الهضمي العلوي. شملت الدراسة 120 مشاركاً، منهم 69 مريضاً يعانون من شكايات هضمية و51 متطوعاً لا يعانون من أي أعراض هضمية. أظهرت النتائج أن 91.3% من المرضى و76.47% من المتطوعين كانوا إيجابيي الأضداد. تبين أن حساسية ونوعية تقنية التألق المناعي غير المباشر هي 78% و80% على التوالي عند وجود درجة تألق متوسطة أو شديدة. تشير النتائج إلى أهمية استخدام هذه التقنية كاختبار غير باضع لتحري الخمج بالملتوية البوابية وإمكانية استخدامها في الدراسات الوبائية المحلية.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تعتبر هذه الدراسة مهمة في تسليط الضوء على تقنية التألق المناعي غير المباشر كوسيلة غير باضعة لتشخيص الخمج بالملتوية البوابية. ومع ذلك، يمكن توجيه بعض الانتقادات البنّاءة. أولاً، حجم العينة قد يكون غير كافٍ لتعميم النتائج على نطاق أوسع. ثانياً، لم يتم التطرق بشكل كافٍ إلى العوامل المحتملة التي قد تؤثر على دقة النتائج مثل تناول الأدوية أو وجود أمراض أخرى. أخيراً، كان من الممكن إجراء مقارنة مع تقنيات أخرى غير باضعة مثل اختبار تنفس اليوريا لتحسين موثوقية النتائج.

The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of helicobacter pylori (HP) in patients with chronic gastroduodenitis and to compare the clinical presentations between patients with positive HP chronic gastroduodenitis and those with negative HP. Also, To compare the endoscopic findings between patients with HP positive gastroduodenitis and HP negative children. Gastroduodenoscopy was done for every child with abdominal pain admitted at the children hospital-Damascus University between 2002-2003. Mucosal biopsy was taken from every patient who had gastroduodenitis diagnosed by gastroduodenoscopy. The percentage of patients with gastroduodenitis having HP positive erosions was 48.38 %. Higher percentage of HP positive patient was more present in those with the erosion and sub-atrophy forms.
There are no sufficient studies about the prevalence of Toxoplasmosis in Syrian females, so our aim in this paper were 1) Screening study of Toxoplasmosis antibodies among Arab International University female students in Syria, 2) determination of positive percentage to spread the disease, 3) set up a health educational program for prevention means of sero-negative cases.
This study aimed to know the relation between cagA positive Helicobacter pylori (HP) strains and diseases such as gastric and duodenal ulcers and gastric adenocarcinoma. The study included 61 dyspeptic patients from gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy de partment patients in Al-Assad university hospital in Lattakia. During upper (GI) endoscopy, gastric biopsy specimens were obtained for Clo-test and histologic examination. Blood was obtained from Clo-test positive patients for serologic tests of HP and cagA. After upper (GI) endoscopy and histologic examination, patients were divided into 4 groups: chronic gastritis (28 patients), gastric ulcer (5 patients), duodenal ulcer (17 patients) and gastric adenocarcinoma (11 patients). CagA antibodies were positive in 68.85% of patients. The difference in the proportion of CagA antibody positive between the four groups was highly significant (P= 0.006). The highest positive proportion was in gastric adenocarcinoma (90.91%) then duodenal ulcer (88.24%) then gastric ulcer (80%), while the lowest positive proportion was in chronic gastritis (46.43%). There was no difference in HP antibody levels between the four groups (P = 0.90) but these levels were significantly higher in cagA+ patients compared to cagA- (P= 0.05). This study found a positive relation between cagA+ and diseases such as peptic ulcer and gastric adenocarcinoma in Syria .
Objective: To study the relationship of H. pylori infection with short stature in children with upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with dudenal biopsy with the clotest test on the antrum biopsy for three years from the beginning of 2011 until the end of 2013 and to study the relationship with Age and sex Methods: The complete records of all children admitted to the pediatric ward at Al- Assad University Hospital and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed for the first time with a dudenal biopsy and a histological study with rapid urease test on the antrum biopsy during the years 2011-2012-2013. Patients were divided into two groups : the infected group and the non-infected group based on the clotest result. The differences in standard deviations of the lengths of the two groups were studied. The mean lengths were not studied because of the age difference between the two groups. Results: The number of patients in the study sample was 180 patients with ages from 6 months to 14 years. Median age was (6) years. The distribution was 95 (52.8%) males and 85 (47.2%) females. Weight loss, short stature and abdominal pain were the main reasons for endoscopy. The rate of helicobacter pyloi infection was 76 children from 180 and the distribution was 51.3% for males and 48.7% for females. There were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of infection by sex. H. pylori infection was higher in older ages. The age groups were (3-6 years) and 6-9 years the biggest. Weight loss and shortness of stature were more pronounced in the group of patients compared to non-infected patients, and there was a statistically significant difference in the standard deviation of lengths in children with H. pylori compared to noninfected patients. There were no significant statistical differences in weight or gender.
