Abstract:
:The aim of this study was to clarify the pathogenesis of Helicobacter pylori-negative duodenal ulcer (DU) by investigating the meal-stimulated serum gastrin (SG) response. The subjects were 9 patients with H. pylori-negative DU, 28 H. pylori-positive DU, 11 H. pylori-positive volunteers, and 30 H. pylori-negative volunteers. Blood samples were taken before and after consumption of a test meal. The integrated 1-hr gastrin response (IGR) was taken to be the area under the SG time curve, calculated by the trapezoid method. H. pylori infection status was determined by histology, serology, and the [13C] urea breath test. The mean basal SG concentration was lower in the H. pylori-negative DU patients than in the H. pylori-positive DU patients, but an exaggerated IGR was observed in three patients (33.3%) with H. pylori-negative DU. In conclusion, our findings indicate that an exaggerated meal-stimulated gastrin response may contribute to the pathogenesis of H. pylori-negative DU.
