IgY (egg yolk immunoglobulin) against Helicobacter pylori was produced by immunizing hen with some Helicobacter pylori antigens. H. pylori whole cell, whole cell lysates, partially purified urease and p54 protein, which showed high antigenicity in mice, were used as immunogens. Four hens were immunized with these immunogens three times. IgY was purified from immunized egg yolk with polyethylene glycol (M.W. 8000) and its anti-H. pylori titer was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The anti-H. pylori titer reached peak at 8 weeks and was maintained over 20 weeks. H. pylori cells were agglutinated with these purified IgY and the specificity of these purified IgY was detected with immunoblotting.

Helicobacter pylori is the etiologic agent of human gastritis and peptic ulceration and produces urease as the major protein component on its surface. H. pylori urease is known to serve as a major virulence factor and a potent immunogen. Recombinant H. pylori urease expressed in E. coli was purified by simple purification procedures utilizing (CNBr-activated Sepharose-anti-urease IgG immunoaffinity chromatography or epoxy- activated Sepharose-urea affinity chromatography. Urease was apparently bound so tightly to the anti-urease IgG resin that it could not be eluted at various elution conditions except at certain extreme pH 1, including 100 mM carbonate (pH 10.5) buffer solution, which was shown to elute slightly inactivated but relatively pure enzyme. Urease eluted from the epoxy-activated Sepharose-urea affinity column showed higher activity, but the smaller UreA subunit of the enzyme appeared as a Fainter band of diminished intensity when subjected to SDS-polyamide gel electrophoresis.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the microbiological and physicochemical characteristics, and the antagonistic activity against Helicobacter pylori ATCC 43504, of yogurt fermented with the lactic acid bacteria from Baikkimchi kept under cold storage. The viable cell counts, titratable acidity, viscosity, and total solid content of the yogurt were different according to the bacterial strains used for fermentation. There was no significant change (P>0.05) in the various properties of refrigerated yogurt. Among the tested strains, the strongest resistance against artificial gastric juice and bile salt was found for Lactobacillus brevis BK11 and Lactobacillus paracasei BK57. Due to high lactic acid levels obtained from these two lactic acid bacteria, yogurt may show good anti-Helicobacter effects according to the time-kill assay. In particular, yogurt fermented with L. brevis BK11 significantly reduced the number of H. pylori adhering to gastric epithelial AGS cells and the urease activity of this pathogen (P<0.05).

Anti-Helicobacter pylori activity guided fractionation led to the isolation of five anthraquinones, two stilbenes and one naphthoquinone from the EtOAc fraction of Polygonum cuspidatum, using silica gel column chromatography, Sephadex-LH20, MPLC and recrystallization. The chemical structures were identified to be physcion (1), emodin (2), anthraglycoside B (3), trans-resveratrol (4), anthraglycoside A (5), polydatin (6), 2-methoxy-6-acetyl-7-methyljuglone (7) and citreorosein (8) by UV, $^1H$-NMR, $^{13}C$-NMR and mass spectrometry. Anti-Helicobacter pylori activity including MIC values of each compound was evaluated. All of the isolates exhibited anti-H. pylori activity of which MIC values were lower than that of a positive control, quercetin. Compounds 2 and 7 showed potent growth inhibitory activity. Especially, a naphthoquinone, compound 7 displayed most potent antibacterial activity with $MIC_{50}$ value of $0.30{\mu}M$ and $MIC_{90}$ value of $0.39{\mu}M$. Although anti-H. pylori activity of this plant was previously reported, this is the first report on that of compounds isolated from this species. From these findings, P. cuspidatum roots or its isolates may be useful for H. pylori infection and further study is needed to elucidate mechanism of action.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the value of serum gastric markers to differentiate between patients with precancerous lesions and nonatrophic chronic gastritis. Materials and Methods: Serum samples of 128 patients with dyspepsia who were candidates for endoscopic examination were tested for pepsinogen (PG I and PG II), PG I/II ratio, gastrin 17(G-17), anti-Helicobacter pylori (anti-H pylori ) and anti-CagA antibodies. Two sample t-tests, chi-square tests and Pearson's correlation analyses were used for analysis using SPSS (version 20). Results: PGI, PG I/II ratio values were decreased significantly in the precancerous lesion group (0.05, 0.001 respectively). The frequency of H pylori infection was significantly (p=0.03) different between the two groups ofthe study. Conclusions: We suggest PGI and the PG I/II ratio as valuable markers for screening of premalignant gastric lesions.

Helicobacter pylori is a well-known pathogen that is responsible for gastric disorders. Overcoming of the antibiotic-resistance is a main barrier to treat H. pylori infection. In our search for anti-H. pylori compounds from natural resources, bioactivity-guided isolation on the ethyl acetate fraction of Fraxinus mandshurica bark that had shown anti-H. pylori activity gave twelve compounds (1 - 12) of six coumarins, three phenylethanoids, two secoiridoids, and a lignan using silica gel column chromatography, Sephadex-LH 20, and recrystallization. The chemical structures were identified by spectroscopic data analysis, including 1D, 2D NMR, and mass spectrometry. Among them, compounds 2, 10, and 11 showed moderate growth inhibitory activity against three strains of H. pylori, compared with positive controls of quercetin and metronidazole. Compounds 5, 6, 8, and 12 exhibited the inhibitory activity against strains 26695 or 43504. This is the first report on the anti-H. pylori activity of this plant and the isolated compounds.

Chenopodium album Linne (CAL) is a fast-growing weedy annual plant. The leaves and young shoots may be eaten as a leafy vegetable. In oriental medicine, CAL has been used for treatment of skin disease, fever, stomach ache, toothache, and paralysis. After a preliminary screening of CAL ethanol extract and its fractions obtained from CAL leaves for anti-gastritic and anti-Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) activity, the butanol (BuOH) fraction was found to have the most significant effect. We also examined antioxidative properties of the total CAL extract and its fractions, and also betaine as an ingredient of the BuOH fraction. To investigate the antioxidant effects of CAL on gastritis, the reducing power, free radical scavenging activity using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and lipid peroxidation effects were determined. Additionally, the BuOH fraction reduced cell viability in a concentration dependent manner in human gastric cancer cell lines. The results of this study revealed that CAL has excellent antioxidant activity, and may be useful in treating gastritis and gastric cancer.

The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the stability of anti-Helicobacter pylori IgY in water soluble fraction(WSF) of egg yolk according to the heat, pH and digestive enzyme treatment. Anti-H. pylori IgY content of WSF remained 76% after pasteurization(63$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min). The stability of anti-H. pylori IgY at different pH showed a tendency to diminish according to decreasing pH from 7.0 to 1.5(p＜0.05). Anti-H. pylori IgY content was 84.4% after treatment for 1 hour at 37$^{\circ}C$ in pH 5.0. There were significantly differences in IgY content between 1 hour and 2 hours at pH 2.0 in 200 units of pepsin treatment(p＜0.05). However, IgY was relatively stable at pH 4.0 regardless of the reaction time and the concentration of pepsin. The stability of IgY of egg yolk after the treatment of trypsin was significantly higher than that of water soluble fraction (p＜0.05). This results indicated that anti-H. pylori IgY showed relatively a good stability on heat, pH and digestive enzyme.
