ABSTRACT
Iodine is an essential trace element for growth and development of fetus. More and more surveys currently show that the urinary iodine level of pregnant women is between 100 - 149 μg/L, which is lower than the level recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Under this level of iodine nutrition, different investigations have shown different effects on thyroid function of pregnant women, and the impact on growth and development of the fetus requires long-term objective evaluation. At present, there are three aspects: development, intelligence quotient (IQ), and psychological behavior. There are not many studies on comprehensive evaluation. This article combs the related published research to provide a reference for further clarifying the influence of iodine nutrition level during pregnancy on thyroid function of pregnant women and the growth and development of their offspring.
ABSTRACT
The implementation of mandatory iodized salt in Taiwan made a great achievements by eliminated the widespread goiter in 1970s, which is earlier than mainland China. The policy of mandatory iodized salt lasting until 2003, on which Taiwan changed its policy in accordence with the request of WTO. Iodized salt policy changed from mandatory to optional, in the aftermath of the change, the urine iodine level of citizens drop significantly that may be produce negative impact, and finally adjustments have to made. As what have happened in Taiwan, in 2017 a series of changes similar to Taiwan carried out in mailand China, but follow-up impact is lacking especially large-scale survey data. Therefore, this paper introduces Taiwan's experience in detail for reference.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of salbutamol combined with budesonide aerosol inhalation in the treatment of patients with acute attack of bronchial asthma and its influence on serum inflammatory factors.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2018, 78 patients with acute attack of bronchial asthma in Zhejiang Xin'an International Hospital were selected, and they were divided into combined group and control group according to the random number table method, with 39 cases in each group.The control group was treated with routine western medicine, and the combined group was treated with salbutamol and budesonide aerosol inhalation on the basis of the control group.The two groups were treated for 2 weeks.The changes of vital capacity(VC), forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV 1) and peak expiratory flow(PEF) were compared before and after treatment.The changes of serum high mobility group protein 1(HMGB1), C-reactive protein(CRP) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α) were measured before and after treatment. Results:The total effective rate of the combined group was 87.18%(34/39), which was higher than 68.57%(24/39) of the control group, the difference was statistically significant(χ 2=5.791, P<0.05). The values of VC, FEV 1 and PEF between the two groups before treatment had no statistically significant differences( t=0.588, 0.892, 0.371, all P>0.05), which in the two groups after treatment were all increased(the combined group: t=16.045, 7.193, 6.667; the control group: t=7.834, 8.354, 4.262, all P<0.05). The values of VC, FEV 1 and PEF in the combined group after treatment were higher than those in the control group ( t=6.591, 9.615, 11.383, all P<0.05). The levels of HMGB1, CRP and TNF-α in the two groups before treatment had no statistically significant differences( t=0.306, 0.669, 0.371, all P>0.05), which in the two groups after treatment were all decreased (the combined group: t=10.235, 16.992, 12.371; the control group: t=4.763, 15.663, 13.115, all P<0.05). The levels of HMGB1, CRP and TNF-α in the combined group were lower than those in the control group after treatment( t=6.591, 3.559, 8.307, all P<0.05). Conclusion:Salbutamol combined with budesonide aerosol inhalation in the treatment of acute attack of bronchial asthma has better effect, which can effectively improve the lung function of patients, inhibit the release of inflammatory factors, and with high safety.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of three-dimensional ultrasound VOCAL technique in evaluating gastric emptying function in children with functional dyspepsia ( FD).Methods Seventy-one children with FD who were treated in Wenzhou Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2018 to June 2018 were enrolled as the study subjects (observation group), and 71 normal children without FD were selected as controls ( control group). The gastric emptying,antral pyloric systolic contraction frequency and distal gastric contraction movement in different time groups were analyzed,and GET1/2 and 2h gastric residual situation before and after treatment in the observation group were compared.Results The GET1/2 of the observation group was (60.2 ± 12.69) min,and the gastric emptying rate of the observation group was (61.9 ± 12.2) min and (72.0 ± 12.3) min at 90min and 120min,which were significantly better than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t =19.092, 15.092,14.882, P =0.016,0.024,0.033 ). The frequency of antral pyloric systolic contraction, gastric antrum contraction frequency and gastric antrum contraction amplitude were (1.1 ± 0.7)times/min,(2.9 ± 0.8)times/min, (1.0 ± 0.6) cm, respectively. Compared with the control group,the differences were statistically significant ( t =16.092,21.224,8.092,all P＜0.05).In the observation group of 71 children:GET1/2 before treatment and after treatment were (68.1 ± 11.8) min,(54.2 ± 9.8) min,respectively.The gastric residual at 2h after treatment was (31.2 ± 8.0)%, (22.1 ± 7.0)%, respectively. The GET1/2 and 2h gastric residual rate of the children were significantly lower than before treatment,and the differences were statistically significant (t=18.983,21.004,all P＜0.05).Conclusion Three-dimensional ultrasound VOCAL technology can be used as an evaluation standard for FD in children.
