Objective To investigate prevalence and immunological properties of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection among chronic gastritis population in Wuhan. Methods A total of 1 866 patients with chronic gastritis in Wuhan were selected from May 2021 to December 2023, and Hp antibody and typing in serum were detected by immunoblotting to analyse the infection rate and typing of patients of different genders and age groups, as well as the correlation between Hp infection and the severity of chronic gastritis. Western blotting technique was utilized to detect the Hp antibodies and typing. The infection rates and subtypes were recorded in patients of different genders and ages. Then the correlation between Hp infection and the severity of chronic gastritis were discussed. Results The overall detection rate of Hp infection was 65.38% (1 220/1 866) in 1866 patients, and the prevalence rate of type I infection was higher than that of type II infection [61.31% (748/1 220) vs 38.69% (472/1 220), P<0.05]. No statistical difference was reported in overall infection rate in terms of gender (P>0.05). In terms of gender, the rate of type I infection was higher than that of type II infection [70.08% (431/615) vs 29.92% (184/615), P<0.05], whereas the prevalence of the two types of infections demonstrated no statistical difference in female patients (P>0.05). In terms of age, the prevalence of Hp infection in patients increased with age (2=64.687, P=0.000). The infection rate of type I was higher than type II in the age groups of below 18, 31-40, 41-50 and 51-60 years old (P<0.05), and infection rates of type I and type II yielded no statistical difference in the age groups of 18-30 and ≥60 years old (P>0.05). With the aggravation of chronic gastritis, the infection rate and percentage of type I infections increased, and the percentage of type I infections was higher than that of type II infections (P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with chronic gastritis in Wuhan suffer a high prevalence rate of Hp infection, and the rate of Hp infection increases with the age of the patients, is positively correlated with the severity of the disease, and presents certain typological features.

Objective To observe the effect of acute normovolemic hemodilution(ANH)combined with enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)on immune function in patients undergoing hepatic lobectomy. Methods 80 patients were divided into two groups:ERAS group(group E),ANH combined with ERAS group(group AE). bleeding volume,blood transfusion,infused fluid volume,urine output during operation and clinical index after surgery were recorded. Exhaust and defecation time ,fluid intake time and hospitalization duration were also record-ed. Blood samples were obtained from the patients at 30 min before anesthesia induction(T1),immediately(T2), 24 h(T3),3 d(T4)and 7 d(T5)after the end of operation for determination of the expression of CD3+,CD4+, CD8+ on T cells and natural killer cell. Results In group E ,CD3+,CD4+ T-lymphocytes and NK cells at T2-3 decreased as compared with T0. Compared with group E ,no allogeneic blood transfusion cases were found and clinical index duration was shorter in group AE. CD3+,CD4+T-lymphocytes and NK cells at T2-3 increased in group AE as compared with those in Group E. The difference is significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion ANH combined with ERAS can decrease allogenic blood transfusion and increase post-operation immunologic function ,shorten the postoperative hospitalization time.
