BACKGROUND: Chronic gastritis caused by Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is a common gastrointestinal disorder. Despite the high prevalence of Hp infection and chronic gastritis in the Tibetan Plateau, there is a lack of studies elucidating the influence of plateau hypoxia on Hp-induced gastritis. This study aimed to investigate the impact of high-altitude hypoxia on Hp-induced gastritis, particularly focusing on pathological manifestations and inflammatory responses.
METHODS: This study was conducted from July 2023 to March 2024 at the Department of Gastroenterology, Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University. Ninety patients diagnosed with chronic gastritis were enrolled in the study and divided into four groups based on their residential altitude and Hp infection status. Data on endoscopic and pathological characteristics were collected, along with serum oxidative stress and inflammatory markers.
RESULTS: Patients with Hp gastritis exhibit distinctive features in the gastric mucosa, including diffuse erythema, enlarged folds, and white turbid mucus during endoscopy. Notably, individuals with Hp gastritis at high altitudes show a higher prevalence of diffuse erythema and enlarged folds. Pathological analysis reveals that these patients have elevated gastric mucosal inflammation scores and increased chronic and active inflammation. Furthermore, individuals with Hp gastritis at high altitudes demonstrate elevated levels of serum TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and MDA, as well as reduced serum SOD and GSH-Px activities.
CONCLUSIONS: High-altitude hypoxia may exacerbate gastric mucosal damage by enhancing oxidative stress and inflammatory response induced by Hp infection.
