Objective:To establish a Mongolian gerbils model by long-term infection of Helicobacter py-lori (Hp) with highly-expressed thioredoxin-1 (Trx1 ) gene and to investigate the histopathological findings of gastric mucosa in Mongolian gerbils.Methods:In this study,75 healthy male Mongolian ger-bils were randomly divided into 3 groups:Hp with highly-expressed Trx1 gene group (n =30),Hp with lowly-expressed Trx1 gene group (n =30),and control group (n =15).The animals underwent gastric perfusion of Hp suspension once a week for 5 weeks.The animals were sacrificed at the end of 4,20, 34,48,70,and 90 weeks after inoculation for detecting Hp colonization by rapid urease test and War-thin-Starry silver staining and histological examination,respectively.Results:(1)The Mongolian gerbil model of long-term infection of Hp with highly-expressed Trx1 gene and lowly-expressed Trx1 gene were successfully established.(2)The macroscopic mucosal lesions,including erythema,uneven,erosion, nodules,etc.could be observed in experimental groups.The severity of lesions and the time when lesions occurred in Hp with highly-expressed Trx1 gene group were heavier/earlier than that in Hp with lowly-ex-pressed Trx1 gene group.(3)Histopathologically,the gastric mucosa of Hp with highly-expressed Trx1 gene group showed the mild dysplastic hyperplasia of epithelial cells 34 weeks after the Hp inoculation, and the time was in the 48th week in Hp with lowly-expressed Trx1 gene group.At the end of the 90th week after Hp inoculation,the gastric adenocarcinoma could be detected in the two experimental groups (71.4% vs.42.8%).The difference between the two experimental groups did not reach statistical sig-nificance (P =0.592),which might be due to the small sample capacity and /or short observation time. In addition,there were 2 cases with severe epithelial dysplastic hyperplasia in Hp with highly-expressed Trx1 gene group,and only 3 cases with moderate epithelial dysplastic hyperplasia in Hp with lowly-ex-pressed Trx1 gene group.The uninfected control animals showed no abnormal findings throughout the en-tire observation period.Conclusion:Hp with highly-expressed /lowly-expressed Trx1 gene colonizes stab-ly in the glandular gastric mucosa of Mongolian gerbils.The histological changes after infection are similar to those of the Hp infected human being,and Hp with highly-expressed Trx1 gene cause the injury of gas-tric mucosa and the occurrence of gastric adenocarcinoma.Trx1 maybe the virulence factor that partici-pates in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer and Hp expressing high levels of Trx1 should be highly toxic for gastric diseases in China.

Objective To explore the value of serum microRNA-155-5p and -133a-3p (miR-155-5p and miR-133a-3p) expression for the diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of sepsis. Methods A prospective observational study was conducted. 105 sepsis patients admitted to emergency intensive care unit (EICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2015 to January 2016 were enrolled. They were divided into three groups according to the severity: 35 patients with sepsis, 35 with severe sepsis, and 35 with septic shock. At the same time, 35 healthy persons were selected as the control group. According to the prognosis, the patients were divided into improved group (n = 70) and in-hospital death group (n = 35). The clinical data of all the subjects were collected. The mRNA expressions of miR-155-5p and miR-133a-3p were determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC) was plotted to evaluate their clinical value for the diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis. The binary logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors affecting the prognosis of sepsis patients. Results ① The mRNA expressions of serum miR-155-5p and miR-133a-3p were gradually increased with the aggravation of sepsis. The mRNA expression of miR-155-5p (2-ΔCt) in sepsis, severe sepsis, sepsis shock groups was 1.89±0.48, 2.21±0.41, 2.79±0.73 (F = 23.737, P = 0.000), and the mRNA expression of miR-133a-3p (2-ΔCt) was 1.38±0.31, 1.74±0.65, 2.08±0.47, respectively (F = 27.710, P = 0.000). It was shown by ROC curve analysis that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of serum miR-155-5p and miR-133a-3p for the diagnosis of sepsis was 0.855 [95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.761-0.949] and 0.769 (95%CI = 0.666-0.872) respectively. The cut-off value of miR-155-5p for the diagnosis of sepsis was 1.64, the sensitivity was 85.3%, and specificity was 80.6%. While the cut-off value of miR-133a-3p was 0.82, the sensitivity and specificity were 97.9% and 54.8% respectively. ② Compared with improved group, the patients of in-hospital death group were more serious, and procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, lactic acid (Lac), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score, and the mRNA expressions of miR-155-5p and miR-133a-3p were significantly increased (all P < 0.05). While there was no statistically significant difference in gender, age, white blood cells (WBC), serum creatinine (SCr) between the two groups (all P > 0.05). It was shown by binary logistic regression analysis that Lac [odds ratio (OR) = 0.514, 95%CI = 0.260-0.893, P = 0.024], sepsis severity (OR = 0.039, 95%CI = 0.023-2.955, P = 0.016), SOFA score (OR = 0.668, 95%CI = 0.474-0.825, P = 0.001), serum miR-155-5p expression (OR = 0.117, 95%CI = 0.020-0.530, P = 0.007) were the risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with sepsis. Conclusions The expression of serum miR-155-5p and miR-133a-3p may be used as specific indicators for the diagnosis of sepsis. And the expression of miR-155-5p can be used as independent impact factor for the estimation of sepsis prognosis.
