(Accidentally caught a wild “Helicobacter pylori”, under torture, let it explain all their secrets ……)
Hello, my name is Helicobacter pylori, the English name is HP, my fame is getting bigger and bigger in the past few years, and I’m proud to overtake HPV (human papilloma virus, and cervical cancer is very ambiguous), HBV (hepatitis B virus, the past star, in fact, is not very scary), said the more proud ah – in fact, their own identity is a prisoner)
I’m worth a lot of money
The reason for my fame, as you may know, is that two Australians, Marshall and Warren, discovered the relationship between me and gastritis and gastric ulcers, and won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2005 (r(st)q I’m worth a lot of money).
Not and you blow, these years scientists also found that the bully – stomach cancer, also and my relationship ambiguous. Today I make an exception to dissect myself in a public place, walk by and listen.
I am the only bacteria that can survive in the stomach
The first thing to make clear is that I’m not the same as HPV, I’m a bacteria, not a virus. The reason I have the word “snail” in my name is that I am a spiral-shaped microorganism.
I do not like oxygen, like the acidic environment, and the requirements for growth conditions are very demanding (editorial voice: HP may be Virgo (*￣ω￣)), but the conditions inside the stomach are all in line with my requirements (the stomach said: blame me!). .
I’m even more proud of the fact that there is no other race to fight me, I am the only kind of microorganism can survive in the stomach! (Bahahahahahahaha (~￣￣)~)
I live on the mucosa of the stomach every day
I’m bored living in the stomach, so I let my little brothers out every day to spread some wild – urease, vacuolar toxin, phospholipase, biogenic amines …… my little brothers are all toxic substances, they can make the gastric mucosa epithelial cells necrosis, damage the mucosal barrier, leading to gastritis, further forming the gastric mucosa. They can lead to gastritis, further form gastroduodenal ulcers, and even induce gastric cancer.
I like to bully the soft ones, so what?
I like to find the soft ones to pinch, such as children, poor resistance, malnourished people are most likely to be haunted by me, which is why the poorer the place the more rampant I am.
I can get infected with me even if we kiss or eat together
The Chinese always say “disease enters through the mouth”, this is perfect for me, saliva, poop are embedded with my soldiers, want to prevent me? Can you do these things?
① You always say that you have to wash your hands before and after meals, you wash them every time?
If there is a carrier of my disease at the table, although it is not 100% infectious if you eat a meal together, but I remind you not to let me take advantage of it.
If you have an infected person in your family, give him/her separate dishes for the time being until he/she is completely sure that he/she has driven me away.
Listener question: “Can lovemaking be contagious?”
I’m a germ with principles and boundaries! I’m not interested in that stuff in bed and I’m not lurking in your semen or vaginal secretions, so you can make love all you want, but with less boinking.
● If I get mad …… tremble, human!
In China, nearly 60 percent of our stomachs are occupied. Of course, it doesn’t necessarily mean that if you mess with me, you will develop a disease, or maybe I’ve lived in your stomach all your life and have lived in peace with each other. But if you ignore my existence and eat recklessly, I will tell you to taste my power!
I will make a lot of gastrin secretion, causing excessive stomach acid, calling you stomach pain, bloating, acidity and heartburn. I can also grow in the plaque and make you have bad breath. Brush your teeth and try to brush me off? Haha, joke, I have a big army in the stomach ready to reinforce! I can also cause long-term chronic bleeding in the digestive tract and gastritis, which affects iron absorption and causes iron deficiency anemia.
I don’t even bother to mention the minor symptoms of diarrhea, constipation, nausea and vomiting. What? All these symptoms you do not care? Well, then I tell you, I can make the risk of stomach cancer increased 12 times! (Tremble, human~)
I can reduce the risk of stomach cancer by 39% by getting rid of me.
Today, let’s say I have a conscience and tell you something so important. Yes, eradicating me can reduce your risk of stomach cancer by about 39% and make your dream of curing peptic ulcers a reality. The following people listen up, I will only say once, you find with me but do not get rid of me, the consequences are at your own risk.
People who have peptic ulcer, MALT lymphoma, chronic gastritis with dyspepsia, chronic gastritis with gastric mucosal atrophy and erosion, early gastric tumor (surgery is also included), and family history of gastric cancer, if you don’t get rid of me, you may – get! Stomach! Cancer! Don’t say I didn’t tell you.
You can’t get rid of me without sending more than one group of soldiers
Heck, but it’s not that easy to get rid of me easily. Sending only 1 drug that’s a joke, you have to work together.
First, the choice of acid-suppressing drugs to destroy my comfortable acidic environment; second is to send gastric mucosal protective agent to protect the gastric mucosa; third is to send out antibiotics to attack us directly. Now doctors often use what triple and quadruple tactics against me. Alas, it is indeed not a good time now.
I can actually be found by blowing a breath
I have to admire the wisdom of human beings, now I can actually be found by blowing a breath! It’s called something like urea [carbon 14] breath test and urea [carbon 13] breath test. The urea [carbon 13] breath test is a little less radioactive, but the carbon 14 test is a little more accurate. What? How is it measured? You want me to say that? (The editor shakes his little whip)
Well, before the urea [carbon 14] breath test, the examiner needs to take a capsule called urea [carbon 14] early in the morning on an empty stomach, and 25 minutes later, use a tube to blow into a small bottle containing a red liquid (carbon dioxide absorber) for 2 or 3 minutes. The color of the water will first turn red and then disappear. Then an instrument is used to test the liquid in the bottle, and a value > 100 means – I exist. The accuracy of this test is surprisingly high 95% ~~ (I am not going extinct ini)
Urea [carbon 13] breath test before the test, the examiner also needs to be fasting. The test begins with the examiner holding their breath for 5 seconds and then blowing into the bag to collect the first bag of breath . The urea [carbon 13] pill is then taken orally, and after sitting for half an hour, the second bag of breath is collected by blowing again. The samples from both bags are given to the doctor for testing and the results are ready in 10 minutes.
I can be this honest today mainly because I have been exposed, but you humans can still be told to eat your words if you don’t love yourselves. You guys don’t let us have a chance to take advantage of oh~ (baahahahaha t(￣￣)q)
