Influence of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> on cytokine regulation in chronic atrophic gastritis

At present, the level of Helicobacter pylori infection is determined by geographic area, gender and age of the examined individuals, and can reach up to 95% of the total population. Environmental adaptation of H. pylori is exhibited in its ability to adhere to the gastric mucosal epithelium and modu...
