Objective To investigate the prevalence and related factors of peptic ulcer (PU) and Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection in military men. Methods A stratified multi-stage cluster randomly sampling method was used. A questionary survey was conducted in 6 160 soldiers garrisoned at south China, inclding: PU symptoms and risk factors questionnaires; gastroscopy and Hp detection. Results Incidence of PU correlative symptoms (Sc≥5) in soldiers was 18.60%. The prevalence of PU was 12.78%.Higher incidence of PU was found among the soldiers who enlisted for less than 1 year, or were from south China, or served in armored troops. The prevalence of Hp infection was 62.67%. Hp infection (OR4.60), smoking (OR3.8), sustained intense training (OR4.3), fighting vehicle driving (OR6.0) and frequent mental intension (OR3.7) seemed to be the main risk factors of PU. While hot food, milk and whether or not the only child in a family showed no relation with PU incidence. Conclusion Higher prevalence of PU and Hp infection existed in service men. For soldiers, PU incidence is closely associated with Hp infection, military training, mental factors, and also related to soldiers′ enlisted period, arm of the service and the region where the soldiers come from.

Objective To research pacemaker cells outside conductive system of rat and mouse heart. Methods Paraffin and frozen serial sections (stained with HE, Masson, cholinesterase technique), and ultrastructural sections, from atrial tissue of 10 rats and 15 mice were observed by light and electron microscopy to find latent pacemaker-like cells. Results Some round or elliptical cells were scattered and irregularly detected in right and left atrial tissue of rat and mouse. Their nuclei were larger, plasma was clearer and cellular organelles were fewer than those of working myocyte. These cells were similar to pacemaker cells in sinoatrial node.Conclusion There are some pacemaker-like cells in right and left atrial tissue of rat and mouse. The finding can provide a morphological basis for ectopic beat of atrium.

Object To investigate the saccharide changes of Radix Rehmanniae when being processed. Methods The fresh roots were torrefied at 65 ℃ and sampled at 0,1, and 6 d. The samples and 4 h steamed slices of those dried roots were extracted with hot water respectively. The extracts were subjected to HPLC analysis, Sugar pak 1 column at 80 ℃,with water as the mobile phase at 0 7 mL/min and detected by RID. Results There are three principal components in the fresh roots, i.e. stachyose (11%-15%), sucrose (0 30%-0 92%), and catalpol (0 27%-0 88%). In the processing of the fresh roots, the HPLC chromatorams of the extracts differed to each other remarkbly. On the chromatogram of roots torrefied for 1 d, one distinct monosaccharide peak displayed at 10 2 min, which is likely to be galactose, and it become prominent in the dried roots together with raffinose. In steamed ones, the peaks of fructose and glucose became outstanding. Conclusion According to the HPLC chromatograms, the degalacto sylation of stachyose may take place during torrifying, while defructosylation during steaming. One of the principal purposes of the processing may be for stachyose degradation for its flatulence causing character.
