Helicobacter pylori IgG antibodies in XXXX and serum of subjects with primary open angle and @entity9998 in a South Indian population.

@entity1 @entity725 @entity231 @entity9998 @entity726 @entity7462
PURPOSE: A prospective, nonrandomized, comparative study was carried out to investigate levels of anti-Helicobacter pylori-specific IgG antibodies in the @entity7462 and serum of @entity1 with @entity725 ( @entity725 ), exfoliation syndrome [ @entity9998 ( @entity9998 )], and with normotensive @entity231 @entity1 , who served as controls. METHODS: Aqueous humor was aspirated at the beginning of @entity726 surgery from 50 eyes of 50 @entity1 with @entity725 , with @entity9998 and at the beginning of phacoemulsification @entity231 surgery from controls. Serum samples were obtained. Anti-H. pylori IgG concentration in the @entity7462 and serum was measured by means of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: Serum analysis of anti-H. pylori IgG antibodies revealed statistically significant difference between @entity725 and @entity9998 (52.26+/-52.51 vs. 25.22+/-35.27, P=0.01). Also, the difference between @entity725 and controls was statistically significant (54.05+/-55.04 vs. 33.83+/-41.73, P=0.04). However, on comparing @entity9998 with the control group, the difference was statistically insignificant (P=0.12). The mean concentration of anti-H. pylori IgG antibodies in @entity7462 of @entity1 in @entity725 and controls were not statistically different (3.93+/-5.14 vs. 2.65+/-2.87, respectively, P=0.73). The mean concentration of anti-H. pylori IgG antibodies in @entity7462 of @entity1 in @entity9998 and controls were not statistically different (8.87+/-30.25 vs. 2.65+/-2.87, respectively, P=0.83). There was also no statistical difference of IgG levels between @entity725 and @entity9998 (3.93+/-5.14 vs. 8.87+/-30.25, respectively, P=0.87). CONCLUSIONS: The levels of anti-H. pylori IgG titers in sera of individuals with @entity725 were significantly higher compared with @entity9998 and control groups. We support the hypothesis of the role of anti-H. pylori antibodies in causative mechanism for @entity725 . We could not find a significant link between the anti-H. pylori IgG antibodies and the @entity9998 .
