Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is considered to be one of the causes of gastric mucosal injury. Using biopsy specimens from the gastric mucosa of patients with gastritis or gastric ulcer, the intramucosal mucus was quantified by computer image analysis to evaluate its relationship with Hp. In gastric mucosa positive for Hp, the mucus content within the gastric mucosa was significantly decreased. Ammonia was administered based on its assumed role in decreasing the mucus content of the gastric mucosa, and resulted in a decrease in rats to whom it was administered. Based on these results, cases of intractable gastric ulcer were studied. In these intractable cases, Hp was present significantly more often than in other cases and the intramucosal mucus content was significantly lower. These findings suggest that Hp may be a factor in the resistance of gastric ulcer to treatment.
