Background:Resistance of Helicobacter pylori(Hp)to antibiotics is the primary reason for failure of Hp eradication therapies. It has been reported that there are regional differences in the resistance rate of Hp to commonly used antibiotics. Monitoring the regional Hp resistance status is helpful for improving the eradication rate in local area. Aims:To investigate the resistant spectrum of clinical Hp strains to commonly used antibiotics in Jiaxing Area,Zhejiang Province. Methods:A total of 17 402 patients who underwent gastroscopy from Jan. 2009 to Dec. 2013 at Jiaxing First Hospital were recruited for Hp culturing by using gastric antral biopsies. Then a drug sensitive test was performed for the Hp strains obtained from the culturing. Sensitivity of these Hp strains to metronidazole,amoxicillin,gentamicin,furazolidone,clarithromycin and levofloxacin was determined. Results:Among the 17 402 cases of gastric antral biopsies,5 898(33. 9% )were positive for Hp culturing. Drug sensitive test revealed that the resistance rate of metronidazole was extremely high in all year and age groups;the resistance rates of clarithromycin and levofloxacin were increasing by years;and the resistance rates of furazolidone,amoxicillin and gentamicin were considerably low in all year and age groups. When two antibiotics were combined,amoxicillin and gentamicin accounted for the lowest resistance rate,and the next were amoxicillin and furazolidone,and gentamicin and furazolidone,respectively. Conclusions:The clinical Hp strains isolated from all age groups in Jiaxing Area,Zhejiang Province are highly resistant to metronidazole,therefore it is not recommended to be used in first line eradication regimen. Amoxicillin combined with gentamicin/ furazolidone is an ideal antibiotic combination for patients with Hp infection in all age groups;and combination of gentamicin and furazolidone is recommended to patients who are allergic to penicillin.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) polymorphism and tacrolimus-related adverse drug reactions in renal transplant patients during perioperative period. METHODS: Totally 170 patients who underwent renal transplantation from Nov. 2014 to Mar. 2018 in our hospital as well as were tested for their ABCB1 C1236T (rs1128503), ABCB1 G2677T/A (rs2032582) and ABCB1 C3435T (rs1045642) genotype were selected in this study. χ2 test was used to compare the incidence of tacrolimus-related ADR among patients with different genotypes. The related adverse reactions included digestive tract reaction, pulmonary infection, renal dysfunction, abnormal liver function, elevated blood sugar, elevated blood lipid and decreased white blood cells. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the unit point risk. The main haplotypes of the above genes were analyzed by PHASE software, and their correlation with tacrolimus-induced ADR was analyzed. RESULTS: Among 170 patients, 21 cases (12.3%) of CC type, 78 cases (45.9%) of CT type and 71 cases (41.8%) of TT type were detected by ABCB1 C1236T (rs1128503). ABCB1 G2677T/A (rs2032582) test showed that 25 cases (14.7%) were GG type, 95 cases (55.9%) were GA+GT type and 50 cases (29.4%) were AA+AT+TT type. ABCB1 C3435T (rs1045642) test showed that 57 cases (33.5%) were CC type, 82 cases (48.2%) were CT type and 31 cases (18.3%) were TT type. There was no significant difference in the incidence of digestive tract reaction, pulmonary infection, renal dysfunction, elevated blood sugar, elevated blood lipid and decreased white blood cells among patients with different ABCB1 genotypes (P>0.05). However, there was significant difference in the incidence of abnormal liver function between ABCB1 C1236T (rs1128503) and ABCB1 C3435T (rs1045642) genotypes (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of abnormal liver function among ABCB1 G2677T/A (rs2032582) genotypes (P=0.069), but P was lower than 0.1. Logistic regression analysis showed that ABCB1 C1236T (rs1128503) CC genotype [OR=4.959, 95%CI (1.700, 14.468), P=0.003], ABCB1 G2677T/A (rs2032582) GG genotype [OR=3.500, 95%CI (1.164, 10.524), P=0.026] and ABCB1 C3435T (rs1045642) CC genotype [OR=3.033, 95%CI (1.012, 9.095), P=0.048] were risk factors for tacrolimus-related abnormal liver function. ABCB1 CGC haplotype was the main haplotype. There was significant difference in the incidence of abnormal liver function caused by tacrolimus between ABCB1 CGC haplotype and non-ABCB1 CGC haplotype (P=0.002), and it was also a risk factor for tacrolimus-related liver dysfunction [OR=3.173, 95%CI(1.512, 6.656), P=0.002]. CONCLUSIONS: The abnormal liver function of ABCB1 CGC haplotype kidney transplantation patients is more likely to occur when tacrolimus is administered during the perioperative period.

Objective:To investigate the effect of flap combined with 3D printed microporous titanium(tantalum)prosthesis in the treatment of lower extremity soft tissue defect with large bone defect.Methods:From January 2019 to December 2020, 2 patients with large soft tissue defects on dorsal foot together with large metatarsal bone defect and 4 patients with soft tissue defects of calf with large tibial bone defect were treated. The areas of soft tissue defect were 5.0 cm×8.0 cm-15.0 cm×10.0 cm. The length of the bone defect were 3.8 cm to 7.0 cm, 5.75 cm in average. In the first stage, metatarsal bone defect or tibial bone defect was filled with vancomycin blended bone cement, meanwhile, soft tissue defect was repaired with anterolateral femoral flap(ALTF) with vascular anastomosis in 2 cases of feet, and local fascia flap was trans-positioned in 4 cases of lower extremity defects. The sizes of repairing flap were 6.0 cm×8.5 cm-16.0 cm×11.0 cm. Two to 7 months after the initial surgery, the customer designed microporous titanium prostheses were used(5 cases with microporous titanium and 1 with microporous tantalum) to repair the bone defects. The wound healing, the integration of metatarsal and tibial fractures with 3D printed microporous titanium(tantalum) prostheses, and the walking condition were observed after surgery. The follow-up lasted from 6 to 25 months, with an average of 12.7 months.Results:The wound healing in 5 patients was good. The patients stood on the foot in 2 months after surgery, started to walk with the assistance of crutch in 3 months after surgery, and took walk without assistance in 5-6 months after surgery. Good osseous integration were achieved. One diabetic patient had infection of foot wound 3 months after surgery. After removal of microporous titanium prosthesis and replacement of vancomycin blended interstitial substance of bone cement, the wound healed and the patient resumed walking.Conclusion:It is an effective method to encourage the patients to take early ambulation after the surgery for lower extremity soft tissue defect with large bone defect that was repaired by a flap and 3D printed microporous titanium(tantalum)prosthesis. Further observations are required to investigate the long-term efficacy, and the reduction of prosthesis infection rate requires further exploration.
