"ABSTRAKLatar belakang : Gastritis merupakan suatu peradangan pada mukosa lambungsebagai respon terhadap infeksi atau iritasi lambung. Penyebab gastritis kronikyang paling sering adalah infeksi Helicobacter pylori. Adanya Helicobacter pyloriberkaitan dengan terjadinya inflamasi, atropi, serta metaplasia intestinal. BakteriHelicobacter pylori secara morfologi dikenal dengan 2 bentuk yaitu berupa batangdan coccoid. Bakteri yang berbentuk coccoid sulit terdeteksi dengan pewarnaanGiemsa. Untuk itu diperlukan pewarnaan imunohistokimia Helicobacter pyloridan mengukur sensitivitas Helicobacter pylori berbentuk coccoid.Bahan dan metode: Studi potong lintang terhadap 90 jaringan biopsi pasiengastritis kronik pada tahun 2015 dan 2014 yang meliputi 30 kasus Giemsadengan Helicobacter pylori positif, 30 kasus gastritis kronik aktif denganHelicobacter pylori negatif tapi ditemukan bentuk coccoid, dan 30 kasus gastritiskronik non aktif, kemudian dilakukan pewarnaan imunohistokimia Helicobacterpylori.Hasil: Ekspresi Helicobacter pylori bentuk coccoid pada kronik aktif memilikiperbedaan yang bermakna (p<0,05) pada pulasan imunohistokimia. Terdapatperbedaan yang bermakna antara gastritis kronik aktif H.pylori positif danH.pylori negatif pada pulasan IHK dengan derajat inflamasi. Uji sensitivitas danspesifisitas antara pemeriksaan Giemsa dan pulasan imunohistokimia, hasilsensitivitas 65% dan spesifisitasnya 100% .Kesimpulan: Pewarnaan imunohistokimia pada gastritis kronik aktif lebih sensitifdibandingkan dengan pewarnaan Giemsa untuk mendeteksi Helicobacter pyloriterutama jenis coccoid .Kata kunci: gastritis kronik aktif, Giemsa, imunohistokimia Helicobacter pylori

ABSTRACTBackground: Gastritis is a mucosal inflammation response against infection orgastric irritation. Chronic gastritis most frequently was caused by Helicobacterpylori infection. The presence of Helicobacter pylori was associated withinflammation, atrophy, as well as intestinal metaplasia. Helicobacter pyloribacteria has two morphological form consist of rods and coccoid. Bacteriacoccoid shaped was hard to detect with Giemsa staining. It is necessary toperform immunohistochemical staining to increase the diagnosis sensitivity ofHelicobacter pylori and Helicobacter pylori in coccoid.Materials and Methods: This was a cross sectional study against 90 biopsy ofchronic gastritis years 2015 and 2014 which covers 30 cases of Giemsa stainingwith Helicobacter pylori positive, 30 cases chronic gastritis active withHelicobacter pylori negative but with coccoid form of Helicobacter pylori, and 30cases discovered form coccoid, and 30 cases chronic gastritis non active , thenperformed immunohistochemical staining for Helicobacter pylori.Results: Expression of Helicobacter pylori in active chronic coccoid form has asignificant difference ( p < 0.05 ) on immunohistochemical staining . There is asignificant difference between active chronic gastritis H. pylori- positive and H.pylori- negative staining Immunohistochemistry with the degree of inflammation .The sensitivity and specificity test result between Giemsa examination andimmunohistochemical staining was sensitivity of 65% and specificity of 100 % .Conclusions : Immunohistochemical Staining in active chronic gastritis is moresensitive than Giemsa staining to detect Helicobacter pylori especially in coccoidform.Keywords: Active chronic gastritis, Giemsa, immunohistochemistry Helicobacterpylori"

"Telah diketahui bahwa H.pylori adalah penyebab gastritis kronik aktif. Semakin aktif gastritis kronik, semakin besar kemungkinan adanya infeksi H.pylori. Penyebaran H.pylori pada lambung tidak merata dan karenanya biopsi sebaiknya diambil paling seqikit dari 2 tempat. Sebagian besar biopsi yang diterima Bagian Patologi Anatomik FKUljRSCM hanya dari 1 tempat di antrum. Oleh karena itu dilakukan penelitian yang menelaah lebih lanjut hubungan antara berbagai derajat aktivitas gastritis kronik den~an keberadaan H.pylori sehingga biopsi yang hanya ,dari 1 tempat di antrum- tersebut dapat bermanfaat. Dalam penelitian ini dari 168 sediaan didapatkan 4 kasus gastritis superfisialis dan 164 gastritik atrofik. Pada 164 kasus gastritis atrofik yang terbanyak adalah gastritis atrofik aktif yaitu 152 kasus sedangkan gastritis atrofik tenang hanya 12 kasus. Gastritis atrofik aktif terdiri atas 103 kasus aktif akut dan 38 kasus di antaranya terdapat H.pylori. Keberadaan H.pylori pada gastritis atrofik aktif akut dan aktif kronik berbeda bermakna, juga pada gastritis atrofik aktif akut ringan sampai berate Hasil penelitian ini dalam hal penemuan H.pylori sama dengan hasil penelitian lain yang menggunakan lebih dari 1 biopsi. Adanya H.pylori gastritis atrofik aktif akut ringan yang disertai sebukan ringan sampai berat sel mononukleus juga berbeda bermakna. Karena itu pada gastritis kronik dengan sebukan padat sel mononukleus perlu dicari pula sel polimorfonukleus, dan jika ditemukan sel tersebut kemungkinan ada H.pylori.

It has been known that H.pylori was the etiology of active chronic gastritis and the more active the gastritis, the more likely H.pylori was present. The distribution of H.pylori in the stomach was patchy and therefore at least two b~opsies were recommended. In The Anatomic Pathology Department of The Medical Faculty of The University of Indonesia/Dr.Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, most of the specimens only consisted of 1 biopsy from the antrum. Based on that reason, the aim of this study is to elaborate the relationship between variations of grades of chronic active gastritis and the presence of H.pylori from the specimen that only consisted of 1 biopsy taken from the antrum. The result of this study consisted of 4 superf~cial gastritis and 164 atrophic gastritis. In 152 from 164 atrophic gastritis showed active atrophic gastritis and 12 cases showed quiescent atrophic gastritis. In 103 from 152 cases are acute active atrophic gastritis and H.pylori was seen in 38 from 103 cases. The H.pylori's presence in acute and chronic active gastritis was statistically significant and was found in all the specimens from mild to the severe grade of acute active atrophic gastritis. The result of this study showed no difference in the p-resence of H.pylori with the result from studies using more than 1 biopsy. The presence of H.pylori was also significant in mild acute atrophic gastritis with mild upto severe infiltration of mononuclear cells. That was the reason tor a very car~ful examination to look for polimorphonuclear cells infiltration in chronic gastritis with severe mononucleus infiltration, and if there were polimorphonuclear cells, a search for H.pylori should be done."

"Infeksi Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) masih merupakan masalah kesehatan yang serius, karena infeksi ini dihubungkan dengan serangkaian kelainan gastrointestinal seperti gastritis kronik, ulkus ventrikulus, ulkus duodenum, karsinoma gaster, hiperplasia folikel limfoid dan limfoma malignum (maltoma). Prevalensi H. pylori pada gastritis kronik dengan ulkus bervariasi antara 40% - 90% (1), sedangkan pada gastritis kronik tanpa ulkus antara 30% - 60% (2). Walaupun prevalensi cukup tinggi, tetapi terdapat kelompok yang menderita infeksi H. pylori tanpa menunjukkan gejala klinik yang bermakna (3,4). Mekanisme terjadinya kerusakan epitel mukosa lambung pada infeksi H. pylori masih diperdebatkan oleh para ahli apakah oleh efek langsung H. pylori terhadap sel epitel mukosa larnbung atau oleh reaksi inflamasi yang ditimbulkan, Chan (5) dan Hui (6) berpendapat bahwa kerusakan mukosa lambung merupakan akibat langsung dari H. pylori, dan tidak berhubungan dengan reaksi inflamasi, Genta (7,8) menemukan bahwa jumlah folikel limfoid dan limfosit pada lamina propria berhubungan dengan kerusakan epitel., sedangkan sebukan sel radang akut dan normalisasi epitel permukaan sejalan dengan densitas H. pylori. Hubungan antara atrofi kelenjar, metaplasia intestinalis dan kerusakan epitel permukaan lambung belum banyak dibicarakan, tetapi ada pendapat (9) bahwa: atrofi mukosa gaster ialah hilangnya jaringan kelenjar, sehingga menyebabkan tipisnya mukosa dan menyebabkan kerusakan keras mukosa. Hilangnya jaringan kelenjar ini dapat karena proses inflamasi yang lama dan digantikan oleh fibrosis. Pergantian epitel antrum dengan epitel intestinal disebut metaplasia intestinal yang menimbulkan kesan adanya atrofi kelenjar secara mikroskopik, walaupun metaplasia sebenarnya adalah proses yang berdiri sandhi. Atrofi mukosa oxyntic berhubungan dengan hilangnya sekresi asam lambung dan terjadinya metaplasia intestinal. Atrofi keras mukosa antrum biasanya dihubungkan dengan metaplasia intestinal dan meninggikan resiko terjadinya keganasan. Atrofi dapat juga ditemukan tanpa adanya metaplasia intestinal terutama pada gastritis autoimun. Penilaian derajat infeksi H. pylori dan perubahan patologi mukosa lambung yang meliputi sebukan sel radang mendadak dan menahun, metaplasia intestinal dan atrofi kelenjar pada sediaan biopsi lambung dapat juga untuk memprediksi prognosis gastritis kronik."

"Dyspepsia is a common complain in clinical practice. Correlation between helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and functional dyspepsia had been reported in many studies, but studies that analyzed the severity of dyspepsia and H. pylori were limited and the result were controversial. This study is about to know the correlation between the severity of dyspepsia and H. pylori infection. A retrospective descriptive analysis to patients with dyspepsia at Permata Bunda Hospital, Medan was done in 2010-2014. Simple random sampling was done to get 44 patient with dyspepsia, 22 are H. pylori positive and 22 patients are H. pylori negative. The severity of dyspepsia assessed with porto alegre dyspeptic symptoms questionnaire (PADYQ) scoring instrument. Univariate and bivariate analysis (Chi-square and spearman correlation) were done using SPSS version 22. Epigastric pain is teh most common symptom in dyspepsia patients. There is a correlation between ulcer type dyspepsia and H. pylori infection (p=0.030), while dysmotility type and mixed type were not correlated. The severity of epigastric pain has significant positive correlation with H. pylori (r=0.386;p=0.01), while the severity of other symptoms such as nausea, vomit, and abdominal bloating have negative correlation with H.pylori. Dyspepsia total scoring is significantly lower in H. pylori positive than in H.pylori negative (p=0.033). There is a positive correlation between the severity of nausea, vamit, and abdominal bloating and H.pylori infection, and correlation between lower dyspepsia total scoring and H.pylori pain."

"Latar Belakang: Diagnosis definitif Helicobacter pylori H.pylori hingga kini masih merupakan masalah. Biakan untuk isolasi dan identifikasi bakteri ini sulit. Uji cepat urease direkomendasikan sebagai uji diagnostik lini pertama pasien dispepsia. Tujuan: Mengembangkan komposisi medium biakan dan deteksi cepat H.pylori pada spesimen biopsi lambung pasien dispepsia. Metode: Desain penelitian merupakan studi potong lintang dan eksperimental laboratorium. Sampel diambil dengan cara consecutive sampling sebanyak 68 spesimen biopsi lambung 34 antrum, 34 korpus, masing-masing untuk biakan dan uji MIU. Sebagai pembanding digunakan histopatologi dan PCR.

ABSTRACTBackground : Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection risk is associated withmany factors related to host-agent-environment matter. Ethnicity is one of the hostfactors which was the most studied factor overseas. The prevalence of H. pyloriinfection was found higher in certain ethnic such among Chinese. Based onmigration and transmission theory, it was suspected that H. pylori infection weretransmitted by people migrating from areas with a high prevalence of infection tothe destination area. Chinese in West Borneo are originated from South Chinaregion where the prevalence of H. pylori infection is high. It is estimated thatthere are differences in the prevalence of H. pylori infection among Chinesecompared to the native people of West Borneo, the Dayaknese.Objective: To determine the differences in the prevalence, epidemiologicalcharacteristics and endoscopic finding between Chinese and Dayaknese withdyspeptic syndrome.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study to determine the differences inthe prevalence of H. pylori infection. The study was conducted at St. AntoniusGeneral Hospital Pontianak from December 2014 to June 2015 with consecutivesampling method. H.pylori infection prevalence is presented in percentagenumbers, while the epidemiological characteristics and endoscopic findingdifferences among Chinese and Dayaknese were analyzed by bivariate analysisusing the chi-square with significance value (p) = 0.05.Results : From a total of 203 subjects in this study, consisted of 102 Chinesesubjects and 101 Dayaknese subjects, the prevalence of H.pylori infection was40.8%.

"Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is the most common chronic bacterial infection in human. The role of Hp infection in various GI disorders had been widely accepted. However, further studies have found new extragastrointestinal involvement such as urticaria. Chronic urticaria is a common disorder that has complex pathophysiologic mechanism. As mater of fact, etiology remains unclear in most of the cases. This condition is called Idiopathic Chronic Urticaria. Several studies had shown high prevalence of Hp infection in patients with ICU and improved symptoms after eradication therapy of Hp. This observation had suggested that Hp has important role as etiologic factor in some cases of ICU. The presence of Hp infection and its role in ICU should be proven before initiating eradication therapy, so that irrational used of drugs and antibiotics resistance can be prevented."
