Objective To investigate the distribution of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infections among general population in Tianjin. Methods Individuals (n=11 096) who visited our hospital for medical examination and H. Pylori infection screen were included in the research objects. Rapid urease method was utilized to rapidly detect H. pylori infection among the popultion. Individuals were grouped based on their gender, age and occupations, and then were analyzed. Results H. pylori-positive rate was 30.52%(3 386/11 096) in 11 096 individuals, in which there were 34.77%(1 784/5 131) male and 26.86%(1 602/5 965) female respectively. Individuals were divided into 5 groups according to their ages:19 to 29 years old group, 30 to 39 years old group, 40 to 49 years old group, 50 to 59 years old group, 60 to 69 years old group and 70 to 92 years old group. The positive rates of H. pylori increased with age:19.50%( 379/1 944 ) in 19-29 years old group, 25.82%(650/2 517 ) in 30-39 years old group, 31.59%( 908/2 874 ) in 40-49 years old group, 37.48%(915/2 441 ) in 50-59 years old group, 41.09%( 353/859 ) in 60-69 years old group and 39.18%(181/462) in 70-92 years old group. The differences in positive rates between different age groups were all of statistically significant (P<0.05). Individuals were also divided into seven groups according to their occupations: medical worker group, worker group, teacher group, engineer group, clerk group, civil worker group and other career group. The positive rates of H. pylori infection were 25.42%(586/2 305), 29.35%(1 062/3 618), 30.61%(360/1 176), 32.49%(116/357), 33.44%(205/613), 34.52%(455/1 318)and 35.23%(602/1 709) respectively. The positive rate was 25.42% (586/2 305) medical workers, which was lower than that of other occupation groups with significant difference (P<0.002). Conclusion Good management of H. pylori diagnosis and treatment in mid-dle age and elderly together with popularizing knowledge of H.pylori prevention can effectively reduce H.pylori incidence.

Objective To investigate the effect of minocycline on isoflurane-induced hippocampal neuroapoptosis and cognitive dysfunction in aged rats. Methods Forty-five male SD rats were randomly assigned into 3 groups ( n=15): blank control group ( group C) , 1.5% isoflurane group ( group I) and 50 mg??kg-1 minocycline+1.5% isoflurane group ( group M+I) . Minocycline was injected intraperitoneally 12 h before the start of anesthesia for group M+I.Group I and group M+I were exposed to 1.5% isoflurane for 4 h, while group C were exposed to 30% O2-70% N2.At the end of anesthesia, five rats in each group were randomized to analyse arterial blood gas. The other rats in each group were sent back to their home cage until they were fully awake.Fourteen days after anesthesia, Morris water maze was used to assess the cognitive function, and then hippocampi of rats were dissected for detection of the expression of cleaved caspase3, Bax and Bcl-2. Results No difference was found in arterial gas analysis among the 3 groups (P>0.05).Compared with group C, the rats in the group I spent more time locating the platform on the third and fourth training days and the time percentage that the rats in group I spent in the target quadrant was much less (P<0.05).However, these changes were reversed in group M+I (P<0.05).The isoflurane-induced increased level of Bax and cleaved caspase3 and decline of anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2 were restored by minocycline pretreatment ( P<0.05) . Conclusion Minocycline could attenuate cognitive dysfunction induced by isofluranein aged rats.The mechanism is associated with inhibition of hippocampal neuroapoptosis which is increased by isoflurane.
