Zusammenfassung
Aims: The capsaicin-sensitive afferent nerves (CSANs) have an important role in protecting the gastric mucosa. The participation of CSANs in the development of chronic gastritis caused by different factors (Helicobacter pylori, drugs, etc.,) was studied earlier by our team (Dömötör et al., Dig. Dis. Sci. 2007. 52:411–417). Aim of the study: to investigate the immunhistochemical distribution of capsaicin receptor (transient receptor potencial vanilloid 1=TRPV1), calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP), substance P (SP) in H. pylori positive chronic gastritis before and after eradication therapy. Patients and metho…
