Abstract

AIM: 66 patients with endoscopic lesions (superficial gastritis 28, ulcerous gastritis 2, gastric or duodenal ulcer 35, and gastric cancer 1) were studied with mono polar EGG to observe FP/min and AP um, 59 of these patients had been examined for Hp infection, with results of positive in 35, and negative in 24.

RESULTS: The results showed AP is not correlative with the severity of gastric lesions (P > 0.05), but FP is closely related to the degree of lesions (P < 0.05). The authors consider that EGG is not dependable to differentiate hyperemia, ulceration and cancerous change, but it is useful in studying electricity dysrhythmia of stomach musculature. We observed that Hp infection apparently increased the amplitude of gastric electricity. This might explain that gastric retention is rare in Hp infection.

Key Words: Gastric lesion, Hp infection, EGG
