Fasting blood samples were collected, and serum samples were stored at –20 °C until further use for both groups. Serum gastrin concentrations were measured using the Gastrin RIA Kit II (Dynabot, Tokyo, Japan). Serum PG I and PG II concentrations were determined by radioimmunoassay (Abbott, Tokyo, Japan) for the years 1990 to 1999, chemiluminescent immunoassay (Abbott) from 1999 to 2001, enzyme immunoassay (E-plate test; Eiken, Tokyo, Japan) from 2001 to 2003, and latex agglutination test (L-Z test; Eiken) from 2003 to 2014. PG positivity was defined as serum PG I concentrations of ≤ 70 ng/mL and a PG I/II ratio of ≤ 3.0 [31 –33 (link)]. Serum anti-Hp Abs in the pathology group was determined with the Pyloristat kit (Whittaker Bioproducts, Walkerville, MD, USA) using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Serum anti-Hp Abs titers of the endoscopically-evaluated group were evaluated using ELISA (E-plate; Eiken Chemical). The cut-off value for anti-Hp Abs in the endoscopically-evaluated group was 3 U/mL [34 (link), 35 (link)].

Venous blood samples were collected after an overnight fast. Radio-immunoassay (Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, IL, USA) was used to test serum HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), and second-generation enzyme immunoassay (Abbott Laboratories) was used to test antibody to HCV (anti-HCV). The Roche/Hitachi Modular Analytics System (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) was utilized to measure serum biochemical markers. FLI was calculated using the following formula: FLI = (e 0.953*loge (TG) + 0.139*BMI + 0.718*loge (GGT) + 0.053*WC—15.745) / (1 + e 0.953*loge (TG) + 0.139*BMI + 0.718*loge (GGT) + 0.053*WC—15.745) * 100 [16 (link)]. LAP was calculated with formula: LAP = (waist circumference (cm) – 58) × triglycerides (mmol/l) [18 (link)].

Blood collections were performed at study entry and follow-ups. Tests on serum markers were performed using commercial kits: HBsAg and HBeAg by radioimmunoassay (Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, IL), ALT by serum chemistry autoanalyzer (model 736; Hitachi Co., Tokyo, Japan) using commercial reagents, serum HBV DNA levels by polymerase chain reaction (COBAS Amplicor; Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN) for baseline samples, and by real-time polymerase chain reaction (COBAS TaqMan; Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN) for follow-up samples. Serum HBsAg levels were quantified using the Elecsys HBsAg II Quant assay (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany). M2BPGi was quantified with a novel sandwich immunoassay using the fully automated chemiluminescence enzyme immunoanalyzer, HISCL-5000 (Sysmex Co., Kobe, Japan)21 (link). Raw counts of M2BPGi were converted to a standardized cut-off index (COI) for analysis32 (link).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
