Abstract: Objective To understand the status of oipA gene of Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) and to evaluate the relationship between oipA gene and digestive disease, Methods Biopsy gastric mucosa were obtained from 360 patients with digestive disease under gastroscopy. H.pylori was isolated from urease positive and some negative samples, and then identified by microscope, urease test and 16 S rRNA PCR. oipA and cagA genes of the isolates were amplified by PCR and the status of oipA signal region was analyzed after sequencing. The relationship between functional oipA gene of H. pylori and digestive disease was investigated. Results One hundred and six isolats were obtained. Seventy-two strains were positive for cagA gene and 87 were positive for oipA gene in signal region. Eighty strains were on open status in signal region called functioal oipA gene and 1 was on off status. The status of other 6 strains were uncertain. The frequency of functional oipA in ulcer and atrophic gastritis were higher than that of cagA(100% and 78.26% vs 58.33% and 39.13%).Conclusion Functional oipA gene is closely related with ulcer and atrophic gastritis.
