H pylori infection and CagA status were assessed in patients by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （EUSA） method. RESULTS： We found a significant increased frequency of HLA-DQBI＊0401 allele in Hpylori-positive patients with chronic gastritis when compared with healthy subjects [19 vs 0%, P = 1 × 10^-7, odds ratio （OR） = 4.96; 95% confidence interval （95% CI）, 3.87-6.35]. We also found a significant increased frequency of HLA-DQBI＊0501 in patients with diffuse-type gastric carcinoma in comparison with healthy individuals （P = 1 × 10^4, OR = 13.07; 95% CI, 2.82-85.14）.CONCLUSION： HLA-DQ locus may play a different role in the development of H pylori-related chronic gastritis and difffuse-type gastric adenocarcinoma in the Mexican Mestizo population.展开更多

Using data from Suzaku and INTEGRAL, we study the soft and hard X-ray spectra of four AXPs/SGRs： 1RXS J 170849-400910, 1E 1547.0- 5408, SGR 1806-20 and SGR 0501＋4516. It is found that the spectra could be well reproduced by the bulk-motion Comptonization （BMC） process as was first suggested by Triimper et al., showing that the accretion scenario could be compatible with X- ray emission from AXPs/SGRs. Simulated results from the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope using the BMC model show that the spectra would have discrepancies from the power-law, especially the cutoff at -200 keV. Thus future observations will allow researchers to distinguish different models of the hard X-ray emission and will help us understand the nature of AXPs/SGRs.展开更多
