8 mg/L). The rdxA gene fragment (886 bp) of H. pylori was amplified by PCR and then sequenced. Finally polymorphism analysis was performed in the rdxA gene sequence from those strains resistant or susceptible to Mtz and standard strains H.pylori 26695. Results A total of 47 H.pylori strains were isolated from 51 patients positive for rapid urease test. Mtz resistance rate was 34% by E-test method and 31.9% by breakpoint susceptibility testing. Among them 15 strains were resistant to Mtz by the two tests. The rdxA genes of both 15 strains resistant to Mtz and 8 strains susceptible to Mtz were sequenced. Compared with that of strain H.pylori 26695, the sequence of rdxA gene nucleotide in 15 H.pyloristrains resistant to Mtz showed similarity ranging from 90% to 95% and being 92.5% on average, and the sequence of rdxA gene nucleotide in susceptible strains showed similarity ranging from 94% to 95% and being 94.5% on average. In most resistant strains, the rdxA genes occurred point mutation, single nucleotide insertion or deletion, however, the insertion or deletion of large nucleotide fragment were rare, and mutational site were variable. Conclusions The rdxA gene mutation in H.pylori strains resistant to Mtz may result from point mutations in several bases or insertional mutations or deletional mutations in one base, without insertion or deletion of large neuclectide fragment, and mutational position being variable.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of alcoholic severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods Clinical data of 166 cases of SAP in Fujian Provincial Hospital from January 2001 to December 2008 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Cases were divided into alcoholic SAP group (43cases) and control group ( 123 cases) depending on deoholic intake volue whithin 12~48 hours. Age, gender,CT scores, APACHE Ⅱ score, serum glucose, serum triglyceride (TG), serum calcium, serum albumin,morbidity, later infection rate and mortality rate of the two groups were compared. Results There was no significant difference in terms of age, but the proportion of male in alcoholic SAP group (39/43) was higher than that in control group (58/123, P<0.01 ). CT score, serum glucose and calcium were not significantly different between the two groups. The APACHEⅡ score and serum TG in alcoholic SAP group [19.16±5.38,(5.06±4.03)mmol/L] were significantly higher than those in control group [16.02±5.09, (3.12±2.95)mmol/L]. The albumenjolevel in alcoholic SAP group (25.23±7.12)g/L) was lower than that in control group [(30.68±8.35 ) g/L, P<0.01]. The incidences of ARDS and upper gastroenterologic bleeding were not significantly different between the two groups. But the incidences of acute kidney failure (44.2%), liver failure (41.9%), heart failure (37.2%), shock (39.5%), infection (27.9%) and mortality (30.2%) in alcoholic SAP were significantly higher than those in control group (26.0%,30.9%, 20.3%, 16.3%,16.3%, 7.3%, P<0.05 or<0.01). Conclusions Males predominates alcoholic SAP patients with high mortality and morbidity. Alcohol abstinence is effective to prevent alcoholic SAP ocurrence.

Objective To investigate four methods for establishing animal models of human breast cancer bone metastasis. Methods Thirty-two female nude mice aged 4-6 weeks were divided randomly into four groups (n=8 in each group). 5×105 MDA-MB-231 cells were injected into the body via the left second mammary fat pads (group A), the tail veins (group B), the left heart ventricles (group C) and the left tibia marrow cavities (group D), respectively. Tumor formations in situ were recorded in group A. Deaths after the injection were recorded. The surviving nude mice 49 days after the injection were subjected to pathological examination to determine bone metastasis. Results The rate of tumor formation in situ of group A was87.5 %(7/8). One mouse in group C died after the injection of MDA-MB-231 cells. The bone metastasis rate in groups A, B, C and D was zero (0/8), 12.5 % (1/8), 71.4 % (5/7) and 100 % (8/8), respectively. There was statistically significant difference in the bone metastasis rate between group A and group C, group A and group D, group B and group C; and group B and group D. Conclusion Injections of tumor cells via the breast fat pads and tail veins were not suitablemethods to establish animal models of human breast cancer bone metastasis. The bone metastasis model could be established efficiently by injecting tumor cells into the left heart ventricles or the bone marrow cavity of nude mice.
