Background: The association of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) babA2 gene with gastric cancer (GC) was reported by several studies, but results were inconsistent. This meta-analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between H. pylori babA2 gene and GC risk.
Methods: Case-control studies involving the association between H. pylori babA2 gene and GC risk were systematically identified from PubMed databases. A meta-analysis was used to pool studies and to estimate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of H. pylori babA2 gene associated with GC risk.
Results: Twenty studies were identified with a total of 1289 GC cases and 1081 controls. H. pylori babA2 gene was associated with an increased risk of GC by 2.05 fold (95% CI, 1.30-3.24, P = 0.002). In subgroup analysis, we found that H. pylori babA2 gene was significantly associated with GC risk in Asian population (OR = 2.63, 95% CI: 1.36-5.09 P = 0.004) but not in South American population (OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 0.69-2.64, P = 0.379).
Conclusions: This meta-analysis indicates that H. pylori babA2 gene may be associated with increased risk of GC, especially in Asian population.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how tissue elements in the stomach's gastric mucosa adapt when influenced by both the bacteria's genetic traits and the host's genes.
- Researchers collected venous blood and biopsy samples from young patients to analyze the health of their gastric mucosa and the genetic polymorphisms of certain interleukin genes.
- Key findings indicated that specific bacterial strains led to increased cell turnover and changes in mucosal protein production, with certain genetic haplotypes being more common in patients a year after treatment.

It infects more than half of the population worldwide. To reduce production, pharmacological therapy of diseases typically involves using threefold treatment methods.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated H. pylori genotyping in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples from gastric biopsies of UGI patients in Guwahati, Assam, and correlated it with the severity of gastric mucosal pathologies.
- A total of 168 gastric biopsies were analyzed using histological evaluation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect virulent genes, revealing a high prevalence of H. pylori infection, especially among older females.
- The findings highlight a significant association between H. pylori virulent genotypes and conditions like gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia, demonstrating the usefulness of the QIAamp® DNA FFPE Tissue Kit for DNA extraction in challenging settings.

We explored the clinical-stage association of gastric intestinal metaplasia (IM) compared to cases of chronic non-atrophic gastritis (CNAG) and its relationship with virulence genotypes of () clinical isolates from patients with dyspepsia in Peru. This study was cross-sectional and included 158 clinical isolates; each isolate corresponded to a different Peruvian patient, genotyped by polymerase chain reaction to detect gene and EPIYA motifs, the gene (alleles , , , , , , , and subtypes , and ), the gene (alleles and ), and the gene (allele ). We observed that 38.
