【Abstract】 Background Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection induced precancerous lesions of gastric mucosa
mostly in adulthood. However,it is debatable whether these pathological changes could also occur in children. Objective To
investigate the relationship between H. pylori infection and precancerous lesions of gastric mucosa in children hospitalized due to
upper gastrointestinal symptoms in central plain area of China. Methods A total of 1 015 children under the age of 18 years old
were enrolled. These children attended the People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University for upper gastrointestinal symptoms such as
abdominal pain,bloating,nausea,vomiting,hiccups,and acid reflux from August 2018 to July 2021. All children underwent
gastroscopy,from which gastric mucosal biopsy tissues were taken for rapid urease test and histopathological examination. The
clinical and pathological data of the patients were collected retrospectively. The children were divided into infected and uninfected
groups according to H. pylori infection status. The age,sex,endoscopic diagnosis,and H. pylori infection rate were compared
between children in infected and uninfected groups. The incidence of precancerous lesions of gastric mucosa,inflammatory
activity and the degree of inflammatory cell infiltration were compared between infected and uninfected groups,meanwhile these
tests were also compared in children of different age groups. Results Among the 1 015 children,854 (84.14%) were infected
with H. pylori and 161 (15.86%) were not infected. H. pylori-infected children were significantly older than those of non-
infected subjects(P<0.05). Endoscopy examination revealed that the proportion of chronic superficial gastritis in H. pylori-
infected group was significantly higher than that in uninfected group,while nodular gastritis was more common in H. pylori-
uninfected patients(P<0.05). Among the enrolled children,54 were 1-4 years old,199 were 5-8 years old,435 were 9-12
years old,and 327 were 13-18 years old. H. pylori infection rate in groups of 5-8,9-12 and 13-18 year-old children was
significantly higher than that in group of 1-4 year-old children;and the infection rate in groups of 9-12 and 13-18 year-old
children was also significantly higher than that in group of 5-8 year-old children(P<0.05). Among H. pylori-infected patients,
37 out of 854 children had precancerous lesions of gastric mucosa(with incidence rate of 4.33%),of which 17 patients had
atrophy,11 patients had intestinal metaplasia and 9 patients had dysplasia,and only one of the 161 H. pylori-uninfected patients
(0.62%) had atrophic gastritis. The incidence of precancerous lesions of gastric mucosa in H. pylori-infected patients were
2
significantly more than those uninfected patients(χ =5.178,P=0.023). The level of active inflammation and inflammatory cell
infiltration of gastric mucosa in H. pylori-infected children were higher than that in non-infected children(P<0.05). In groups of
5-8,9-12 and 13-18 year-old children,the prevalence of active inflammation and neutrophil granulocyte infiltration in gastric
mucosa were significantly higher than that in uninfected patients(P<0.05). In H. pylori-infected patients,children in groups
of 9-12 and 13-18 years old showed more severe lymphocyte infiltration over the uninfected patients(P<0.05). Conclusion
In children,gastric mucosal precancerous lesions occur in 4.33% of H. pylori-infected patients in central China,this include
atrophic gastritis,intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia;the data revealed an obvious critical issue requiring future investigation
and intervention for this group of population.
