The relationships of prolapse of gastric mucosa and chronic gastritis

Objective To study the relationships of prolapse of gastric mucosa(GMP) and chronic gastritis.Methods ~Two groups of patients accepted endoscopy were studied. one group included 103 patients with chronic gastritis all accorded with the standard of Sedney 1996,including man 57 and woman 46,aged 22～74,mean age 48.9.Control groups included 103 patients without active inflammation or ulcer in stomach or duodenum under endoscopy, man 60 and woman 43, aged 20～76, meanage 47.3. Results (1)Total 69 patients(33.5%) with GMP were founded. The rate (43/103,41.7%) of GMP in chronic gastritis patients was significantly higher than the rate(26/103,25.2%) in control group(P0.05).(2)There were no relationships between GMP and age, gender(P0.05).(3)The rate (10.7%) of Hp infection in GMP patients was significantly lower than that (26.2%)in patients without GMP (P0.01 ). (4)The rate of strip of erythma in gastric antrum and the rate of esophagitis were 30.2% and 16.3% respectively in chronic gastritis patients with GMP, the rates were higher than that in chronic gastritis patients without GMP (10.0%,P0.01; 3.3%, P0.1) respectively. Conclusion GMP relates to chronic gastritis.Strip of erythma in gastric antrum is the characteristic represent of GMP under endoscopy. There are no relationships between GMP and age,gender. The rate of Hp infection in patients with GMP is low.
