ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the current status of research in the field of iodine nutrition for pregnant women and to detect the hot spots and future trends in the field of iodine nutrition for pregnant women.Methods:Using "pregnant women" and "iodine" as search terms, we searched the literature related to iodine nutrition in pregnant women from January 2000 to December 2021 in China Knowledge Network (CNKI) database, Wanfang database and Chinese Medical Journal Full Text Database. CiteSpace 6.2.2.0 software was used to sort out the publication status, core authors and research hotspots of the papers.Results:A total of 879 valid papers were included, with an overall number of publications increasing trend from 2000 - 2021 and a decline after 2017. Among the 879 papers, 29 first authors were core authors (M≈3), and 109 papers were published, accounting for 12.40% of the total literature; several research groups with relatively stable collaborative relationships had been formed, with the larger collaborative team of Chen Zupei and Zhang Wanqi at Tianjin Medical University. Keyword co-occurrence analysis showed that pregnant women, urinary iodine, and iodine nutrition were high-frequency keywords; keywords with mediated centrality > 0.07 were pregnant women (0.48), pregnancy (0.40), urinary iodine (0.37), iodine deficiency disorders (0.25), iodine nutrition (0.20), thyroid (0.12), thyroxine (0.10), infants and children (0.09). The analysis of the emergent words showed that the evolution of iodine nutrition research themes in pregnant women was broadly based on studies of iodine nutrition monitoring results in key populations such as newborns and infants from 2000 - 2011, studies such as the range of thyroxine reference values during pregnancy from 2012 - 2016, and changes in iodine nutrition status of pregnant women and children after adjustment of iodized salt concentration from 2017 - 2021. The clustering results showed that a total of 355 keywords were aggregated to yield 10 clusters, and the average profile value of clusters (Silhouette) > 0.8, which was a reasonable clustering result; the study topics can be divided into three major categories, iodine nutrition and goiter monitoring results in key populations, thyroid hormones and pregnancy outcomes during pregnancy, and studies on thyroid-related diseases.Conclusions:Iodine plays an important role in the health of pregnant women and their offspring, and changes in the iodine nutrition status of pregnant women should be closely monitored. In response to the new trends of change that are currently present, multidisciplinary cooperation should be developed to respond to social concerns and jointly promote the maintenance of iodine nutrition in pregnant women at appropriate levels.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the urine of normal healthy left-behind children under 1 year old and left-behind children with zinc deficiency under 1 year old in Zunyi area using hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1HNMR), thus providing a new biomarker for the early diagnosis of zinc deficiency. Methods:From January to August 2018, a total of 40 normal healthy left-behind children under 1 year old in Zunyi area(healthy control group)[22 males and 18 females, average age of (7.78±3.62) months, average height of (65.01±2.67) cm and average body mass of (7.15±1.59) kg] and 40 age-matched left-behind children with zinc deficiency in the same region(zinc deficiency group)[19 males and 21 females, average age of (7.89±3.57) months, average height of (64.25±2.95) cm and average body mass of (7.02±1.68) kg] were included for a cross-sectional study by stratified sampling.The urine 1HNMR spectra of children in the 2 groups were measured, and the age, height, body mass and serum zinc content of children in the 2 groups were compared.The metabolites of the 2 groups were compared by metabono-mics technology combined with multivariate statistical analysis, and the differential metabolites of children with zinc deficiency were screened out. Results:There were no significant differences in age, height and body mass between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). The serum zinc level of healthy control group was significantly higher than that of zinc deficiency group [(54.3±3.06) mmol/L vs.(39.2±3.77) mmol/L, t=22.65, P<0.05]. Urine 1HNMR spectrogram results showed that compared with healthy controls, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, phenyl acetyl glycine, and hippuric acid salt water were significantly lower in zinc deficiency group ( r=-0.620, -0.689, and -0.721, respectively, all | r|>0.602, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Zinc deficiency in left-behind children under 1 year old in Zunyi area is mainly manifested by decreased metabolites of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, phenylacetyl glycine and horse-urate, suggesting metabolic disorder of intestinal flora.Differentially expressed metabolites have a potential application value in the early diagnosis of zinc deficiency.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the range of medical reference value of thyroid hormone of pregnant women in early pregnancy in Jinan after adjustment of salt iodine content, so as to provide basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases of pregnant women in early pregnancy.Methods:A prospective study was conducted in 560 pregnant women in early pregnancy (0-13 weeks) who had underwent prenatal examination and thyroid function testing in Shandong Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from January to December 2018. At the same time, 100 healthy non-pregnant women who were examined in the Health Examination Center of Shandong Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital were selected as the control population. Urine samples of pregnant women in early pregnancy were collected, and urinary iodine content was detected by arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry. Venous blood samples were collected from pregnant women in early pregnancy and control population, the serum levels of free triiodothyronine (FT 3), free thyroxine (FT 4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were detected by electrochemiluminescence (ECL), and the medical reference values of FT 3, FT 4 and TSH were established. Results:The median urinary iodine of pregnant women in early pregnancy was 162.21 μg/L, which was in the appropriate level of iodine. After the adjustment of salt iodine content, the medical reference values of FT 3, FT 4 and TSH in pregnant women in early pregnancy were 3.86-6.15 pmol/L, 12.56-22.16 pmol/L and 0.01-3.48 mU/ L, respectively; and the medical reference values of FT 3, FT 4 and TSH in control population were 3.55-6.05 pmol/L, 9.93-20.58 pmol/L and 0.54-5.92 mU/L, respectively. Conclusions:The iodine nutrition of pregnant women in early pregnancy in Jinan is appropriate after the adjustment of salt iodine content. The medical reference values of FT 3, FT 4 and TSH in pregnant women in early pregnancy are different from those in the healthy non-pregnant women. Therefore, it is of clinical significance to establish a medical reference value range of thyroid hormone for pregnant women in early pregnancy.

ABSTRACT
This paper aims to observe and analyze effects of Codonopsis pilosula water extract on micro RNA [miRNA] expression profile in liver tissue of senile mice. The 110 Konminmice were randomly divided into five groups, including D-galactose-induced senile model group, normal control group, and low, middle and high dose intervention groups. Continuous modeling lasted 40 days. General symptoms and changes of body mass of the model mice were monitored and observed. The levels of serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase [ALT] and alkaline phosphatase [ALP] of mice were compared, and miRNA of differential expression during aging of D-galactose-induction and high-dose Codonopsis pilosula intervention was analyzed. The serum ALT and ALP levels in the aging model group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group [P<0.05]. The serum ALT and ALP levels of Codonopsis pilosula intervention group were lower than those of aging model group, and decrease in ALP value of high dose intervention group was higher [P<0.05]. The expression profile of miRNA in the aging model group was significantly different from that in normal control group and high-dose Codonopsis pilosula intervention group, and miRNA expression profile in high-dose Codonopsis pilosula intervention group was clustered with that in the normal control group. The differentially expressed miRNAs of D-galactose-induced senescence and Codonopsis pilosula anti-aging usually belong to 7 miRNA clusters. The target gene function of the differentially expressed miRNAs during senescence process was enriched in 29 signal pathways. There were 67 regulatory signal pathways in differentially expressed miRNA target genes during Codonopsis pilosula intervention. The effect of miRNA targeting may play an important role during D-galactose-induced senescence and Codonopsis pilosula anti-aging period
