Objective To determine the distribution of Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) iceA, babA2 in patients in Shanghai and explore the association of H. pylori strain genotype with its clinical outcome after infection. Methods A total of 141 H. pylori strains was isolated from gastric biopsy samples of 43 patients with chronic gastritis, 47 patients with duodenal ulcer (DU), 30 patients with gastric ulcer(GU) and 21 patients with non cardia gastric carcinoma. The iceA, vacA, cagA, and babA2 genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results iceA1, iceA2 and babA2 were detected in 74.5% (105/141) , 15.6% (22/141) and 63.8% (90/141) of the 141 H.pylori strains, respectively, while 2 of isolated H. pylori strain (1.4%) were positive for both iceA alleles and 16(11.3%) were negative for both iceA alleles. The prevalence of babA2 and the combined genotype of babA2 and cagA in H. pylori isolated from DU patients were significantly higher than that in GU patients (74.5% vs. 50.0% for babA2, P =0.028; 70.2% vs. 46.7% for babA2 and cagA, P =0.039). There was no significant difference in prevalence of babA2 among other disease groups. No association of different clinical diseases with iceA genotype was detected. Conclusions The most common genotype of H.pylori strains isolated from patients in Shanghai is iceA1 +/babA2 +. babA2 may play different role in the pathogenesis of duodenal ulcer and gastric ulcer. No association between iceA status and clinical outcome of H.pylori infection was confirmed in our study.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of the cassette 14C-urea breath test kit, scintillation sampling bottle (solid-state scintillation method) and liquid scintillation 14C-urea breath test kit in the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) infection. Methods:From January 7 to October 28, 2020, 239 patients were enrolled who visited Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine and the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University. All subjects first received 14C-urea breath test.Within >1 to <7 days after gas collection, mucosal tissues were taken under gastroscopy for gold standard test, including biopsy and rapid urease test (RUT). If both biopsy and RUT indicated H. pylori positive, the result of gold standard test was H. pylori positive, and if both were negative, the result of gold standard test was H. pylori negative. If the results of biopsy and RUT were inconsistent, they were not included in the subsequent analysis. Based on the results of gold standard test, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the cassette 14C-urea breath test kit, scintillation sampling bottle, and liquid scintillation 14C-urea breath test kit in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection were analyzed. The safety of the test was evaluated by whether there were any adverse events during the test. Descriptive methods were used for statistical analysis. Results:Among the 239 subjects, 12 cases did not complete the test, 227 subjects finally completed the test. The test completion rate was 95.0% (227/239). No.008 patient was only included in the analysis of cassette 14C-urea breath test kit and scintillation sampling bottle because of lacking the result of liquid scintillation breath test. The results of gold standard test showed that among 227 patients, 87 cases were H. pylori positive, 118 cases were H. pylori negative. The results of biopsy and RUT were inconsistent in 22 cases, so they were not included in the subsequent analysis. Excluding No.008 patient, the results of gold standard test showed that 86 cases were H. pylori positive and 118 cases were negative. Based on the results of gold standard test, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of cassette 14C-urea breath test kit, scintillation sampling bottle, and the liquid scintillation 14C-urea breath test kit in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection were 91.9%, 100.0%, 96.6%, 100.0% and 94.4%, respectively; 95.4%, 97.5%, 96.6%, 96.5% and 96.6%, respectively; and 96.5%, 99.2%, 98.0%, 98.8% and 97.5%, respectively. Only one adverse event (right upper abdominal pain after eating) occurred. Combined with the patients condition, the adverse event was determined as the onset of chronic cholecystitis and it might not be related to the test medication. Conclusions:Cassette 14C-urea breath test kit, scintillation sampling bottle, and liquid scintillation 14C-urea breath test kit have reliable performance, good safety, and high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection, which are worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To investigate characteristics and changes of skin microbiota in atopic dermatitis-like mouse models induced by different concentrations of 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) .Methods:Totally, 30 male specific-pathogen-free BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 3 groups by using a random number table: negative control group topically treated with 200 μl of mixture of acetone and olive oil at a volume ratio of 3∶1 on the back twice a week for 6 consecutive weeks; high-and low-concentration DNCB groups both topically treated with 200 μl of 1% DNCB on the first and third day at the first week, followed by topical application of 200 μl of 0.5% and 0.1% DNCB, respectively, twice a week for 5 weeks from the second week. Twenty-four hours after the last treatment, the severity of skin lesions was evaluated, and the transepidermal water loss and stratum corneum hydration were measured. After the experiment, the mice were sacrificed, and skin tissues were resected from the back of the mice for histopathological examination. Full-thickness skin tissue samples were obtained from the back of 3 mice in each group. Illumina Miseq PE300 high-throughput sequencing was performed to sequence the V3-V4 variable region of 16S rRNA gene of skin microbiota on the back of the mice, and the composition and structure of the skin microbiota and changes in the relative abundance of different genera were analyzed. One-way analysis of variance was used to analyze differences in indices among the 3 groups, and the Games-Howell method was used for multiple comparisons.Results:The severity scores of skin lesions were significantly higher in the high-and low-concentration DNCB groups (9.83 ± 2.45 points, 2.71 ± 0.56 points, respectively) than in the negative control group (0.51 ± 0.12 points, t=-7.19,-2.85, respectively, both P < 0.05) . Compared with the negative control group, the high-and low-concentration DNCB groups showed significantly increased transepidermal water loss ( t=-7.72,-2.68, respectively, both P < 0.05) , but significantly decreased stratum corneum hydration ( t=6.77, 5.99, respectively, both P < 0.05) ; the transepidermal water loss was significantly higher in the high-concentration DNCB group than in the low-concentration DNCB group ( t=2.76, P < 0.05) , while no significant difference in the stratum corneum hydration was observed between the high-and low-concentration DNCB groups ( P > 0.05) . There was a significant difference in the relative abundance of Corynebacterium among the 3 groups ( F=249.85, P < 0.001) , which was highest in the high-concentration DNCB group. No significant differences in the observed species and Chao1 index of the skin samples were observed among the 3 groups (both P > 0.05) , and the Shannon index was significantly lower in the high-concentration DNCB group than in the low-concentration DNCB group and negative control group ( t=6.96,-6.37, respectively, both P < 0.05) . Conclusion:DNCB could induce atopic dermatitis-like dermatitis in mice, and the severity of skin lesions and degree of barrier function impairment were related to the concentration of DNCB; the species diversity of skin microbiota markedly decreased in the high-concentration DNCB group, indicating that high-concentration DNCB modeling has more advantages in studying microbiological changes associated with atopic dermatitis.

Objective:To investigate the normal range of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in 6-18-year-old children in China, so as to provide a data base for the establishment of FeNO standards for Chinese children.Methods:A multi-center study was conducted on 5 949 children aged 6-18 (3 101 males and 2 848 females) in 16 pro-vinces of 7 administrative districts in China.According to the technical standard recommended by American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Association, FeNO was measured, and the relationship of FeNO with the sex, age, height, weight, body mass index and region was discussed.Results:The geometric mean FeNO value of Chinese children aged 6-18 was 14.1 ppb, and its 95% confidence interval (skewness distribution) was 1.0-38.2 ppb.The geometric mean FeNO values of children aged 6-11 and 12-18 were 13.1 ppb and 15.7 ppb, respectively, and their 95% confidence intervals (skewness distribution) were 1.0-38.1 ppb and 2.0-38.2 ppb.For children at and under 11 years old, FeNO decreased with age, with a mean decline of 1 ppb per year.The multiple linear regression results suggested that there was a significant correlation between FeNO and age for children aged 6-11, and FeNO of children aged 12-18 was significantly correlated with the gender, height, and region(all P<0.01). Conclusions:FeNO values of Chinese children and adolescents in this study are higher than those obtained by the previous study conducted from 2010 to 2012.For children aged 12-18, 16 ppb is recommended as the clinical cut-off point.For children at or under 11 years old, the influence of age on FeNO should be considered, and the cut-off point of FeNO decreases by 1 ppb as the age is reduced by one year.
