Objective To investigate the relationship between chronic gastropathy with intestinal metaplasia (IM) and caudal type homeobox genes 2 (Cdx2),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection.Methods Onehundred and thirty patients underwent gastroscopy were divided into 2 groups by typical pathological type:gastritis group (30 cases) and IM group [100 cases,including mild IM group (30 cases),moderate IM group (35 cases),severe IM group (35 cases)].Hp infection was confirmed.The expressions of Cdx2 and TNF-α protein was evaluated by immunohistochemistry.Results The positive expression rates of Cdx2 and TNF-α protein in IM group were significantly higher than those in gastritis group [78.0%(78/100) vs.6.7%(2/30),60.0%(60/100) vs.16.7%(5/30)],and there were statistical differences (P < 0.01).The positive expression rates of Cdx2 and TNF-α protein in positive and negative Hp infection in IM group were significantly higher than those in gastritis group [Cdx2 protein:79.4%(50/63) vs.1/10,75.7%(28/37) vs.5.0%(1/20);TNF-α:74.6%(47/63) vs.4/10,35.1%(13/37)vs.5.0% (1/20)],and there were statistical differences (P < 0.01).The positive expression rate of Cdx2 protein in moderate IM group and severe IM group were significantly higher than those in mild IM group [80.0% (28/35) and 97.1% (34/35) vs.53.3% (16/30)],in severe IM group were significantly higher th.an those in moderate IM group,and there were statistical differences (P <0.05).There were no statistical differences in the positive expression rate of Cdx2 protein of difference Hp infection among the 4 groups (P>0.05).There were no statistical differences in the positive expression rate of TNF-α protein between mile IM group and moderate IM group (P > 0.05).The positive expression rate of TNF-α protein in severe IM group was significantly higher than that in mild IM group and moderate IM group [80.0%(28/35) vs.40.0%(12/30) and 57.1%(20/35)],and there were statistical differences (P < 0.05).The positive expression rate of TNF-α protein of positive Hp infection patients in gastritis group,mild IM group,moderate IM group and severe IM group were significantly higher than those of negative Hp infection patients (4/10 vs.1/20,47/63vs.13/37,10/18 vs.2/12,15/21 vs.5/14,22/24 vs.6/11),and there were statistical differences (P < 0.05).Conclusions The expressions of Cdx2 and TNF-α protein and Hp infection are closely related with IM.Therefore,testing the level of Cdx2 and TNF-α protein expressions can help to judge the degree of IM,which provides a basis for reversing IM.

The core symptoms of Parkinson's disease include motor symptoms and non-motor symptoms. For the motor symptoms, the rehabilitation includes the basic training of joints, gait training, the training of core muscle group and posture balance, the training of oral, facial, neck muscle and pharyngeal reflex, the training of lip movement, vocalization, sound volume, rhythm and speed, and the training of deep breathing exercises and abdominal pressure. For the non-motor symptoms, the rehabilitation includes the training of memory, attention, problem solving ability, activities of daily living and others, psychotherapy, family support, social participation, and other comprehensive treatments combined with medicine.
