Introduction

The polyp of large intestine is a kind of common digestive tract lesion and a mass formed by the proliferation of the large intestine mucosa into the intestinal cavity. Pathologically, it can be divided into proliferative polyp, inflammatory polyp, adenomatous polyp, hamartoma polyp and so on. Hyperplastic polyps and inflammatory polyps generally have no cancerous tendency, adenomatous polyps and hamartomatous polyps have certain cancerous tendency. Recently, the incidence of colorectal cancer have decreased due to increased precancerous lesion screening and resection of early colorectal lesions [1,2]. The incidence of colorectal cancer is related to diet structure, environmental changes, genetic factors, oncogene imbalance and other factors, and there is no definite and effective prevention method at present. Helicobacter pylori are a class of gram-negative microaerobic bacteria. Helicobacter pylori are associated with peptic diseases such as gastritis and peptic ulcer. It is the first carcinogen of gastric cancer. In addition, Helicobacter pylori are also associated with iron deficiency anemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, diabetes and other extragastric diseases. Studies have shown that Helicobacter pylori is associated with the risk of colorectal polyps [3,4].

A polyp can have a variety of shapes and be flat, slightly raised (called sessile) or on a stalk (called pedunculated). There are different microscopic types of polyps (which require a microscope to determine), and the adenomas or sessile serrated polyps can eventually grow over time and become cancer. Undergoing colorectal cancer screening and removal of polyps can decrease the risk of developing colorectal cancer. Polyps are found in about 30% of the adult population over the age of 45-50. Men and women of all ethnicities are at risk of colon polyps and colon cancer. A polyp is the result of genetic changes in the cells of the colon lining that affect the normal cell life cycle. Many factors can increase the risk or rate of these changes. Factors are related to your diet, lifestyle, older age, gender and genetics or hereditary issues. The vast majority of polyps are not cancerous or even pre- cancerous. The polyps without the potential to turn into cancer include small hyperplastic polyps, inflammatory polyps, and hamartomatous polyps which are not part of an inherited polyp syndrome. The precancerous polyp which can turn into a cancer is called an adenoma. The two most common types of colorectal polyps are hyperplastic polyps and adenomas. Usually, the larger the size of the adenoma, the greater the chance that there may be cancer or pre-cancerous cells present in the polyp. Since it is hard to determine the exact nature of a polyp, polyps found during colonoscopy are removed and sent to the lab for a microscopic analysis. Current theories propose it will take about 10 years for a small adenoma to transform into a cancer. That is why the standard interval for screening colonoscopy is 10 years. However, the time interval may be shorter for patients with a hereditary form of colon cancer (like familial adenomatous polyposis or hereditary non polyposis colorectal cancer) or inflammatory bowel disease. The recommended intervals are general guidelines and may not apply to every patient.

In this study, through compared Helicobacter pylori infection of large intestine polyp group with control group, and compared Helicobacter pylori infection of different pathological types of polyp and control group, we analyze the relationship between Helicobacter pylori and polyp of large intestine.

Patient’s clinical data

We collected the clinical data of 850 patients who underwentHelicobacter pylori both colonoscopy and Helicobacter pylori in endoscopic room ofHelicobacter pylori our hospital from January 2018 year to January 2019 year. AmongHelicobacter pylori these patients, there were 420 males, 430 females. 304 patients were Helicobacter pylori positive, and 546 patients were Helicobacter pylori negative. Among Helicobacter pylori positive patients, there were 162Helicobacter pylori patients have Helicobacter pylori eradicated, and 142 patients haveHelicobacter pylori not eradicated. In control group, there were 213 patients whoseHelicobacter pylori age over 60 years, and 202 patients whose age less than 60 years. InHelicobacter pylori polyp group, there were 220 patients whose age over 60 years, and 215 patients whose age less than 60 years. In Table 1, there were no significant differences in sex and age aspects of two groups.

Discussion

With the popularization of colonoscopy, the detection rate of colorectal polyps increased gradually. The colonic polyps are precancerous lesions of colon carcinoma. The canceration rate of colonic polyps range from 1.4% to 9.2% [5]. More than 80% of colonic cancers developed from colonic adenomas. The colonic adenomas have cancerous tendency. The incidence of colonic cancer decreased more than 75% after adenomatous polyp resection [6]. Research shows that Helicobacter pylori infection have relationship with the development of colonic polyp [7,8].

The infection rate of Helicobacter pylori in polyp group was higher in this study. The positive rate of Helicobacter pylori was 44.1% in polyp group, and 36.9% in control group, there was significant difference between polyp group and control group. Research shows that Helicobacter pylori infection have relationship with the recurrence of colonic polyp [7,9]. Helicobacter pylori eradication significantly reduces the risk of colonic polyp recurrence. This study found that the impact factor of colonic polyp recurrence include Helicobacter pylori infection, pathological types of polyp and polyp number. The colonic polyp recurrence rate of Helicobacter pylori positive patients was 66.4%,the Helicobacter pylori negative patients was 33.9%,inflammation polyp was 38%,hyperplasia polyp was 40.5%, adenoma polyp was 48.4%,single polyp was 40.4%, and multiple polyp was 58.7%. The recurrence rate of colonic polyp was higher in Helicobacter pylori positive, adenoma polyp and multiple polyp groups. In addition, the Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy drugs include amoxicillin, clarithromycin, proton pump inhibitor and colloidal bismuth pectin in our study [10]. Compared with Helicobacter pylori no eradication group, the recurrence rate of Helicobacter pylori eradication group was 31.6%, Helicobacter pylori no eradication group was 40.1%. It is indicated that the recurrence rate of Helicobacter pylori eradication group was more lower than Helicobacter pylori no eradication group. This shows that Helicobacter pylori eradication can significantly decrease the recurrent risk of colonic polyp, which indicated that Helicobacter pylori eradication may be the effective approaches to prevent the recurrence of colonic polyp [11,12].

Conclusion

The Helicobacter pylori infection rate of colonic polyp group was higher. The impact factor of colonic polyp recurrence includes Helicobacter pylori infection, pathological types of polyp and polyp number. The recurrence rate of colon polyp was higher in Helicobacter pylori positive, adenoma polyp and multiple polyp group. Therefore, endoscopic treatment in time and Helicobacter pylori eradication can decrease the recurrent risk of colon polyp.
