Hp eradication decreased the expression level of PG II in patients of Hp negative with gastric intestinal metaplasia: a retrospective cross-sectional study

Abstract Aims This study aims to assess the serum levels of pepsinogen (PG)I, PG II, and gastrin (G17) in patients with gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) and evaluate their correlation with demographic characteristics. Methods A total of 247 normal controls (NC) and 240 patients diagnosed with GIM...

description Abstract Aims This study aims to assess the serum levels of pepsinogen (PG)I, PG II, and gastrin (G17) in patients with gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) and evaluate their correlation with demographic characteristics. Methods A total of 247 normal controls (NC) and 240 patients diagnosed with GIM were enrolled in this study. All participants underwent a gastroscopy procedure followed by pathological examination for diagnosis confirmation. The expression level of PGI, PG II, and G 17 was detected by fluorescence immunochromatography and Hp infection was detected by 13-carbon breath test. The demographic characteristics of the subjects were obtained through questionnaires. Results Compared to the NC group, the GIM group showed a reduction in PG II expression level [10.71(6.40,16.89) VS 9.21(6.14,14.55), p = 0.010]. GIM patients had a higher prevalence of previous Hp eradication history (14.98% VS 23.75%, p = 0.014). The low PG II group exhibited a higher incidence rate of GIM compared to the high PG II group (54.10% VS 44.44%, p = 0 0.020). In the Hp-negative(Hp-) group, there was a decrease in both PGI and PG II expression levels when compared to the Hp-positive(Hp+) group [146.73 ± 78.53 VS 125.61 ± 68.75 and 10.19(7.27, 16.58) VS 7.36(5.62,12.53), p = 0.036 and p < 0.001]. Among patients without Hp eradication history, those with low PG II levels had a higher proportion of individuals with a history of Hp eradication than those with high PG II levels (29.31% VS 3.13%, p = 0.003). Additionally, within the subgroup that underwent Hp eradication, there was a decrease in PG II expression level compared to the subgroup without Hp eradication (6.16(5.13, 7.52) VS 8.73(5.67, 13.35), p = 0.041). Conclusion The prevalence of GIM was significantly associated with low levels of PG II. There was a significant association between HP eradication history and the prevalence of GIM. Hp eradication history resulted in reduced expression levels of PG II in Hp- GIM patients.
