Abstract

Many methods are available to diagnose Helicobacter pylori in patients with dyspepsia, including Enzyme-Linked ImmunosorbantAssay (ELISA) and recently used is immnochromatography test. Both of the test are non invasive method, but immunochromatographytest can be used in laboratory without semi automatic analyzer. The aim of this study was to compare the immunochromatographyand ELISA tests in detecting the possibility of Helicobacter pylori infection. A cross sectional study was done among 49 sampleswith dyspepsia at Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital of Makassar and Prodia Laboratory from March to August 2008. Samples wereanalyzed with SPSS 14 for Windows Program using Chi Square and Spearman correlation tests. Among 49 samples we found ELISAand immunochromatography tests were positive in 5 samples, ELISA and immunochromatography tests were negative in 33 samples,ELISA tests were borderline and immunochromatography tests were positive in 5 samples, and ELISA tests were borderline andimmunochromatography tests were negative in 6 samples. There was a good correlation between ELISA and immunochromatographytest with R = 1.000 and p = 0.000. Both results of the immunochromatography and ELISA tests showed high conformity. Both methodcan be applied to diagnose Helicobacter pylori in patients with dyspepsia. Immunochromatography test can be an alternative methodin laboratories who do not apply semi automatic analyzer. The advantages of immunochromatography test can be used for diagnoseearly infection of Helicobacter pylori.

Abstract

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are rare tumors of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that arise from primitive mesenchymal cells. GISTs occur throughout the GI tract but are usually located in the stomach and small intestine. GISTs are known with myoid, neural or mixed features of differentiation. Clinical findings are gastrointestinal bleeding, abdominal pain, and weight loss. GISTs express a heterogeneous clinical course not easily  predicted.  The  histologic  features  that  correlate  best  with  development  of recurrence and metastasis are mitotic activity, tumor size and the presence of tumor necrosis and most recently, mutation in the c-kit gene. Some authors specifically use the term GIST to refer to only those mesenchymal tumors that express CD117, whereas others believe that the diagnosis can be made in the absence of CD117 positivity based on clinical and morphologic features. Surgical resection remains the treatment of choice, since chemotherapy and radiation are ineffective. Long-term follow-up is imperative and recurrence rates are high. We report the case of a 60 years old female patient who presented with intermittent melena, chronic dyspepsia, and anemia. Upper digestive tract endoscopy showed a submucosal tumor, broad-based, centrally ulcerated, projection of 5 cm in the gastric corpus-antral wall as the cause of the upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Endoscopic biopsies were negative for neoplastic changes. After triple eradication therapy of Helicobacter pylori and treatment continued with proton pump inhibitor agent, the patient underwent distal gastrectomy with Billroth-I reconstruction. Histopatological studies on the surgical resection specimen revealed a GIST of smooth muscle with spindle cell, no evidence of mitotic activity but of uncertain biological behavior. One year after surgery the patient is was improved with no signs of residual malignancy. However, metastases were found later in the liver in the next two year.   Keywords: GIST, stromal tumor, surgery, C-kit
