ABSTRACT
Objective@#To a evaluate the effectiveness of comprehensive nutrition interventions among primary school students in Yiwu City, so as to provide insights into malnutrition control among children.@*Methods@#Grade 3 to 5 students were sampled from four primary schools in Yiwu City using a random cluster sampling method and randomly assigned into the intervention group and the control group. Students in the intervention group received comprehensive interventions, including nutritional health education, promotion of physical activities, nutritional meal support and creation of a nutritional campus, while students in the control group were given no interventions. The awareness of nutritional health knowledge, dietary behaviors and nutritional status were compared in students between the two groups prior to interventions and one year following interventions, and the effectiveness of interventions was evaluated using generalized estimating equations.@*Results@#Totally 879 students were enrolled. There were 440 students in the intervention group, including 243 males and 197 females, with a male to female ratio of 1︰0.81 and a mean age of (10.47±0.99) years; and there were 439 students in the control group, including 244 males and 195 females, with a male to female ratio of 1︰0.80 and a mean age of (10.35±1.02) years. Following comprehensive interventions, the awareness of “type of food”, “seven nutriments from food”, “eating at least 12 types of food daily”, “less than 6 g of daily salt intake”, “food composition in nutritional breakfast”, “nutritional labels of pure milk”, “no less than 60 min of daily exercise duration” and “too fat or too thin may threaten health” and the increase in the proportion of 3 and more types of food in breakfast were significantly higher among students in the intervention group than in the control group (all P<0.05); however, there was no statistical difference in the proportion of normal nutrition between the two groups (P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#The comprehensive nutritional interventions may effectively increase the awareness of nutrition health knowledge and improve dietary behaviors among primary school students.
ABSTRACT
Skin injuries always disturb people's normal life, even seriously damage the body health. Thus, it is very necessary to use medical dressings to protect and treat skin wounds. Compared with traditional dressings, novel biological dressings develop more rapidly and their application scope is gradually expanding. Collagen is a natural biological material that can promote wound healing and it also has unique functional advantages in care and treatment. At present, collagen-based medical dressings has become one of the preferred choices to assist wound healing. The authors summarize the source, functional advantages and product classification of collagen-based dressings, and introduce the characteristics and applications of various collagen-based dressings, to provides a reference for further research of the collagen-based wound dressings.
ABSTRACT
To explore the effect of Naoshuming decoction on cerebral ischemic rats. Methods: The model of cerebral ischemia in rats was established via middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). The MCAO model rats were randomly divided into a model group (n=36), a Naoshuming decoction at high dose group (n=36), a Naoshuming decoction at middle dose group (n=36) and a Naoshuming decoction at low dose group (n=36). In addition, a normal group (n=12) and a sham operation group (n=12) were included. Rats in each group were killed on the 3rd, 7th, and 14th day to detect relevant indicators. The Ayelet Levy 14 method was used to score the neurological function. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the protein expression of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB)/p50, NF-κB/p65, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and IL-1β. The quantitative real-time PCR were used to detect the mRNA expression of NF-κB, TNF-α and IL-1β. Results: Compared with the sham group, at each time point, the inflammation indexes in the model group and different dose of Naoshuming decoction groups were significantly enhanced, and all of them showed neurological dysfunction. But the inflammatory indexes and neurological function scores would were gradually improved with the pass of time. Compared with the model group, the neurological dysfunction, the protein levels of NF-κB/p50, NF-κB/p65, TNF-α and IL-1β, and the mRNA of NF-κB, TNF-α and IL-1β in the high, middle and low dose of Naoshuming decoction groups were reduced at 3, 7 and 14 d, with statistical difference (all P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: Naoshuming decoction can alleviate the cerebral ischemic injury in rats.

Objective To systematically explore the efficacy of four intervention regiments including desmopressin, alarm, desmopressin combined with alarm, and desmopressin combined with anticholinergic drugs in the treatment of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis in children by network meta-analysis. Methods The databases of PubMed, Cochrance Library, EMBase and Web of Science were systematically searched and retrieved upto August 1, 2017. Included were the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which had any two or more of four intervention regiments (desmopressin, alarm, desmopressin combined with alarm, and desmopressin combined with anticholinergic drugs) for treatment of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis in children. The literature was screened according to the established inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the data extraction and quality evaluation were performed for the final inclusion of RCT. Software R 3.3.2 and STATA 14.0 were used for data analysis. Results Fifteen RCTs were included with a total of 1505 children. Network meta-analysis showed that the complete response rate and success rate of desmopressin combined with anticholinergic drugs were higher than those of desmopressin (complete reaction rate: OR=2.8, 95％ CI :1.5～5.4; success rate: OR=3.5, 95％ CI :1.7～7.5) and alarm (complete response rate: OR=2.7, 95％ CI :1.1～6.6; success rate: OR=3.8, 95％ CI: 1.6～9.0. The success rate of desmopressin combined with alarm was higher than that of alarm (OR=1.9, 95％CI: 1.1～3.4) . The recurrence rate of alarm after treatment was significantly lower than that of desmopressin (OR=0.15, 95％CI: 0.03～0.53) . The ranking results showed that the complete response rate and success rate of desmopressin combined with anticholinergic drugs were the best. The desmopressin combined with alarm can minimize the number of bed-wetting episodes per week and the recurrence rate of alarm was the lowest among the four regiments. Conclusion The effect of desmopressin combined with anticholinergic drugs is significantly better than that of alarm or desmopressin alone. The combination of desmopressin and alarm has a slight advantage or similar effect to that of single alarm or desmopressin treatment. The effect of desmopressin is similar to that of alarm. Alarm treatment has the lowest recurrence rate.

ABSTRACT
ZnO nanoparticles ( ZnO NPs ) were obtained by a direct precipitation method. With the as-prepared ZnO NPs as seeds, Au/ZnO heterostructure was synthesized by seed-mediated growth method without any surfactant, and the diameters of ZnO NPs and Au NPs were about 50 nm and 10 nm, respectively. Then ionic liquids (ILs), trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ([P(C6)3C14] [ Tf2 N] ) , and functionalized graphene ( GN ) were prepared under room temperature. The ILs as bridges could connect Au/ZnO heterostructure to form a new kind of graphene nanocomposite, Au/ZnO/GN. Then the penicillinase and hematein were immobilized on Au/ZnO/GN. And the biosensors based on penicillinase-hematein-Au/ZnO/GN (PH-AZG) were used for detecting penicillin G. In PBS buffer solution (pH 7. 0), PH-AZG exhibited a detection range from 2 . 5 × 10-14 to 3 . 3 × 10-6 mol/L with a detection limit of 1 . 5 × 10-14 mol/L (S/N≥3). Five PH-AZG electrodes were prepared with the same conditions, and the RSDs for their current response were less than 3. 2%. Furthermore, the standard curves were linear in the range of 5× 10-14-5×10-7 mol/L for milk. The average recoveries were 99. 7%-101. 4% with RSDs of 2. 3%-3. 5%(n=5). The method is sensitive and repeatable, and can be applied to the field of residue analysis about penicillins G with low concentration levels.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:An ideal scaffold material needs appropriate degradation rate and certain mechanical properties, but the traditional colagen sponge scaffold has rapid degradation velocity and low mechanical strength, which is easy to colapse and difficult to maintain its natural form. Traditional cross-linking methods also have the problems of cytotoxicity or colagen denaturation, severely limiting the application of colagen. OBJECTIVE:To design a new cross-linking method for colagen and to optimize the self-assembly process so as to develop a colagen sponge scaffold with good mechanical properties and resistance to degradation. METHODS:Colagens were modified by self-assembly technology to prepare colagen fibrils which were then freeze-dried into fibrilar colagen sponges. Meanwhile, we optimized the conditions of self-assembly by using orthogonal experiment based on univariate analysis of the effect of initial colagen mass concentration, final phosphate concentration and pH value on the conversion yield of colagen self-assembly. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:We optimized the conditions of self-assembly revealed that the optimum conditions to prepare colagen fibrils were determined as pH=8.0, initial colagen concentration=2 mg/mL, and final concentration of phosphate=15 mmol/L. The results of scanning electron microscope showed that fibrilar colagen sponges were characterized by refined porous structure which was connected by colagen fibrils. In addition, the fibrilar colagen sponges showed better equilibrium-sweling ratio, water retaining property and mechanical strength compared with unmodified colagen spondages (P < 0.05), to solve the problems in rapid degradation.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Knee joint is the most complicated structure of human body, and X-ray is often used to reflect the stenosis of knee compartment. However, radiographs are two-dimensional projection of three-dimensional joint structure. Thus, different joint shooting locations can impact the outcomes of measurement, and it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of repeated measurements. OBJECTIVE:To build three-dimensional model of knee compartment, measure the distance and volume, and provide the basis for subsequent models, biomechanics and relevant clinical studies. METHODS:Based on the principle of reverse engineering, using CT images of the knee joint and the software of Mimics, three-dimensional model of medial compartment knee structure was reconstructed. After the model was imported and smoothed, the medial and lateral compartment volumes were finaly calculated by the software of Geomagic Studio. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Three-dimensional model of the knee compartment, including femur, tibia and fibula, was successfuly structured by CT images. The models of knee and knee compartment could be observed at any angle or observed individualy, and could be measured. It was discovered that the volume of medial and lateral compartments of knee is close, although the joint space width of them is different, which ilustrates that the procedure can accurately reflect the degree of knee joint space width in the round by calculating the volume of medial and lateral compartments of knee joint through computer.
ABSTRACT
Heparinase II (Hep II) from Flavobacterium heparinum is an enzyme that could specifically cleave certain sequence of heparin and heparan sulfate. In this work, fermentation conditions of recombinant heparinase II (His-Hep II) producing bacteria were optimized, including initial induction time, inducer (IPTG) concentration, induction temperature and induction time. The optimum conditions were as follows: cultivating recombinant bacteria to exponential prophase under 37 degrees C, then adding IPTG to a final concentration of 0.3 g/L, finally cultivating recombinant bacteria under 20 degrees C for 10 h. The total crude enzyme activity reached 570 U/L. Based on these results, high cell density fermentation of recombinant bacteria was studied. The final OD600 could reach 98 and the total crude enzyme activity of His-Hep II increased to 9 436 U/L.

BACKGROUND:With unique structure and physicochemical property, carbon nanotubes have promising application prospects in the fields of drug delivery, biosensor and biomaterials. However, carbon nanotubes are highly hydrophobic and trend to aggregate, and thus carbon nanotubes are hard to be dispersed in solution. Furthermore, carbon nanotubes induce blood coagulation and have cytotoxicity, which greatly limit the application of carbon nanotubes. OBJECTIVE:To prepare heparinized single-wal ed carbon nanotubes and to study the effects of heparin-immobilization on the water solubility, stability as wel as biocompatibility of carbon nanotubes. METHODS:By the method of covalent grafting, heparinized single-wal ed carbon nanotubes was fabricated and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and carbazole assay. Transmission electron microscopy was used to investigate the dispersing performance and suspension stability of heparinized single-wal ed carbon nanotubes in aqueous solution. Anti-Xa activity and activated partial thromboplastin time assays were used to measure the anticoagulation activity of heparinized single-wal ed carbon nanotubes. MTT assay was used to evaluate the cytocompatibility of heparinized single-wal ed carbon nanotubes. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Heparin was covalently linked to the surface of single-wal ed carbon nanotubes successful y. The amount of heparin on single-wal ed carbon nanotubes was measured to be 257.53 mg/g. Heparinized single-wal ed carbon nanotubes were wel dispersed and stable in an aqueous solution without aggregation. The anti-Xa activity of heparinized single-wal ed carbon nanotubes was measured to be 36.53 U/mg, suggesting a significant anticoagulant activity. Further study of activated partial thromboplastin time assay found that the anticoagulant effect of heparinized single-wal ed carbon nanotubes could be prolonged. MTT assay revealed that heparinized single-wal ed carbon nanotubes had no cytotoxicity and showed good cytocompatibility. Taken together, the immobilization of heparin on single-wal ed carbon nanotubes wil not only improve its solubility and stability in water, but also endow it with excellent biocompatibility.

BACKGROUND: Macromolecules modified gold nanoparticles can be used in therapeutics, diagnostics, and other aspects, but most reports mainly focuses on the preparation of protein, DNA and small molecules of sugar modified gold nanoparticles, and the research on polysaccharide modified gold nanoparticles is superficial. OBJECTIVE: To prepare heparin-modified gold nanoparticles, studying their particle size and ultraviolet absorption spectra, and to determine the optimum reaction condition. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The comparative observation of the experiment was performed at the Biotechnology Pharmaceutical Laboratory of School of Chemical Engineering in Wuhan University of Technology from April 2007 to September 2008. MATERIALS: Gold nanoparticles were prepared and preserved at 4 ℃. METHODS: Heparin with an aldehyde group (HEP-CHO) as reducing end was prepared by nitrous acid degradation method. HEP-CHO was further reacted with dimethyl sulfoxide solution containing 0.05 mL and 0.5 mL glacial acetic acid to synthesize heparin with thiol-group (HEP-SH) through reductive amination reaction. Heparin was then orientated immobilized in four bottles of dimethyl sulfoxide solution containing 0.5 mL glacial acetic acid by adding the thiol-group of HEP-SH and sodium cyanoborohydride for 2, 4, 6, and 24 hours. The obtained products were added in gold nanoparticle solution, and the heparin was fixed on the surface of gold nanoparticles by Au-S bonds. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Maximum ultraviolet absorbance of gold nanoparticles before and after heparin modified; ② Average grain size of gold nanoparticles and heparin-modified gold nanoparticles. RESULTS: Gold nanoparticles with good particle size were prepared by using a rate of sodium citrate to chloroauric acid was 6:1 (mol/mol). The reductive amination reaction yield was higher when the more acetic acid was added to the solvent. The products were increased within 6 hours and 24 hours, but the difference was not significant. The average grain size and maximum ultraviolet absorbance of gold nanoparticles were 10 nm and 522 nm, and those of heparin-modified gold nanoparticles were 20 nm and 529 nm. CONCLUSION: Heparin-modified gold nanoparticles with good particle size are prepared, and the size can effect on the maximum ultraviolet absorbance. The optimum reaction condition for heparin immobilization is using a rate of dimethyl sulfoxide to acetic acid is 8:1 (mol/mol) as solvent of heparin, and the reaction time is 6 hours.
