Analysis of dietary quality of preschool left behind children by using the revised Chinese diet balance index / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To evaluate the dietary quality by adjusted diet balance index (DBI_16) of preschool left behind children in Anhui Province, and to provide a reference for rapidly and accurately evaluating their nutrition condition.@*Methods@#During September to December of 2018, selected 306 left behind children and 598 non left behind children aged 3-6 years old of Anhui Province in total. Four scoring methods (TS total score, LBS Low Bound Score, HBS High Bound Score, DQD Diet Quality Distance) were used to evaluate the dietary quality by Diet Balance Index Revision (DBI_16), and scores were compared to reflect the diet quality of preschool children in LBC group and NLBC group.@*Results@#The score of TS (-18.2, -16.1) in LBC group was lower than that of NLBC group, the scores of LBS(24.8, 23.1), HBS (7.9, 6.4) and DQD (35.9, 34.4) in LBC group were higher than that of NLBC group( Z =-46.02, 12.45, 4.14, 4.78, P <0.05). The daily intake of vegetables, fruits, animal food, milk, soybean and drinking water were obviously under the RNI, the dietary intake scores of milk(-4.1, -2.7), animal food (-2.2, -0.8) and food species (-7.4, -6.2) in LBC group were higher than that in NLBC group( Z =-26.42, 13.51, -6.59, P <0.01). About 44.1% of the preschool LBC were in moderate or severe deficit of food intake, 66.0% of the LBC were in the higher level of dietary imbalance, the LBC group s excessive and imbalance problem were of significant differences than those in the NLBC group ( χ 2=15.79, 11.51, P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#The dietary quality of preschool children in Anhui Province should be improved, the main diet problem was the dietary imbalance, which was related to deficiency in nutrients intake. The scores of DBI_16 in LBC group were significant different with those in NLBC group, it is necessary to take specific intervention to increase the intake of milk, eggs and fruits among preschool children.

Prevalence of iron deficiency anemia and the association with dietary nutrition factors of preschool children in rural Anhui Province / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To evaluate the dietary quality for preschool children by diet balance index(DBI_C), and to provide an empirical reference for scientific guidance for a reasonable diet and controlling and preventing iron deficiency anemia(IDA).@*Methods@#During September to December of 2018, 306 left behind children and 598 non left behind children aged 3-6 years old of Anhui Province were selected. Four scoring methods (TS Total Score, LBS Low Bound Score, HBS High Bound Score, DQD Diet Quality Distance) were used to evaluate the dietary quality by DBI_C, and multivariate Logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between DBI_C and IDA.@*Results@#The anemia prevalence (AP) was 13.3% among the 3-6 year old children in Anhui rural area, whereas the left behind children (LBC) was 16.7% and the non left behind children was 10.9%, and there was statistical significance of the differences ( χ 2=8.8, P <0.05). There were significant differences of TS[-18.3(25.2，-12.7)，-15.2(-19.8，-8.6)], LBS[25.4(18.3，32.5)，22.7(16.5，30.6)] and DQD[36.8(23.9，43.4)，34.1(27.5，41.0)] in DBI_C scores between anemia group and nonanemia group ( P <0.05). There were significant differences of milk and beans [-5.9(-10.7，-0.4)，-5.0(-8.7，0.2)], animal food [-2.4(-5.6，0.8)，-0.6(3.5，1.9)], food species [-7.5(-9.1，-4.8)，-6.3(-8.0，-2.9)] in food intake scores between anemia group and non anemia group ( P <0.05). Left behind children ( OR =1.27, 95% CI =1.15-1.49) had higher proportions of getting anemia. Meat consumption >3 times per week ( OR =0.81, 95% CI =0.68-0.94) and ≥two types of fresh vegetable consumption every day ( OR =0.84, 95% CI =0.73-0.95) were associated with lower rate of anemia( P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#The AP was relatively high in 3-6 year old children in Anhui rural area, especially in those LBC. Anemia should be reduced by improving the caregivers dietary literacy, increasing intakes of animal foods and fresh vegetables.

MiRNA-138 Protecting Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis of Neonatal Rats by Inhibiting JNK/p38 MAPK Pathway / 中山大学学报(医学科学版)

@#【Objective】To explore miRNA-138 protecting cardiomyocyte apoptosis of neonatal rats by inhibiting JNK/ p38 MAPK pathway.【Methods】Thirty-three whole blood samples from patients with acute myocardial ischemia during the period from January 2018 to December 2018 were collected. Thirty- three whole blood samples from healthy people who underwent physical examination in the same period were enrolled as controls. Ischemia/reperfusion（I/R）models of neonatal rats were established. Forty neonatal rats were randomly divided into blank control group（Control），model group（I/R model），negative control group（injected with unordered sequence）and miRNA-138 overexpression group（Ad-miRNA-138），with 10 cases in each group. The expression of miRNA- 138，Bcl2 and Bax mRNA in whole blood and myocardial tissues was detected by qRT-PCR. The levels of rat hemodynamic indexes were detected by electrophysiological recorder. The pathological damages of myocardial tissues were observed by HE staining. The expression of Caspase- 3 in myocardial tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. The apoptosis of myocardial cells was observed by TUNEL staining. The content of reactive oxygen species （ROS） in myocardial tissues was detected by ELISA. The expression of JNK/p38 MAPK pathway protein was detected by Western blotting. 【Results】 Compared with healthy control，the level of whole blood miRNA- 138 was significantly decreased in patients with acute myocardial ischemia（P<0.05）. Compared with I/R model group，cardiomyocyte gap in Ad-miRNA-138 group was smaller，its arrangement was more uniform，and its structure was more complete. The miRNA- 138 expression，levels of cardiac function indexes such as +dp/dtmax，HR，LVSP and Bcl2/Bax were significantly increased，while number of apoptosis cells，rate of Caspase-3 positive-expression cells， ROS，p-p38/p38，Pc-jun/c-jun and p-JNK1/2/JNK1/2 were significantly down-regulated（P<0.05）.【Conclusion】MiRNA- 138 can inhibit cardiomyocyte apoptosis of rats，and reduce ROS damage by inhibiting JNK/p38 MAPK pathway， thus protecting cardiomyocytes of neonatal rats.

The relationship between outer membrane protein D_2 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and imipenem resistance / 中国感染与化疗杂志

Objective To prepare specific polyclonal antibodies to outer membrane protein (Opr) D_2 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA),and explore the relationship between loss of OprD_2 and imipenem resistance.Methods The genomic DNA of PA was ex- tracted with phenol:chloroform.OprD_2 coding gene was amplified by PCR and prokaryotic expression vector pRSET-OprD_2 was constructed.OprD_2 protein was expressed by IPTG induction in E.coli BL21(DE3),and purified with SDS-PAGE.The new protein band was recovered and used as antigens to subcutaneously immunize two New Zealand rabbits to prepare poly- clonal antibody.The specificity of the antibody was determined by Western blot.The expression of OprD_2 in 32 clinical isolates of PA was detected with the prepared polyclonal antibody by Western blot.Results The vector pRSET-OprD_2 has been success- fully expressed in E.coli BL21 (DE3).The polyclonal anti-OprD_2 antibody with high specificity has been successfully pre- pared.Present results show that of the 27 imipenem-resistant PA clinical isolates,OprD2 protein was low-expressed in 5 iso- lates (18.5%) and normally expressed in 2 isolates (7.4%) but not expressed in 20 isolates (74.1%).Conclusions The loss or low-expression of OprD_2 is one of the essential mechanisms accounting for imipenem resistance in clinical isolates of PA.

Optimal lamivudine treatment duration and the relationship between its early response and long term effect / 中华肝脏病杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the relationship between the method of administration of lamivudine and the therapeutic effect of the treatment in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>One hundred and seventy-nine patients were given lamivudine 100 mg daily for 1 to 3 years. The relationships of the therapeutic effect and the early response, YMDD mutants and duration of treatment were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Alanine aminotransferase normalization rate, the negativity rate of HBV DNA and HBeAg, and HBeAg sero-conversion all were increased gradually with prolonged treatment. At the end of 1 year, HBV DNA negativity rate (57.0%) reached its peak, HBeAg negativity rate (39.7%) and HBeAg sero-conversion rate (16.8%) were higher than those at the end of 3 months (chi2 = 28.489, 33.238, 12.690, P<0.01). The lower the HBV DNA level was at the end of 3 months, the higher the HBV DNA negativity and HBeAg sero-conversion rates were at the end of 52 weeks and at the end of the 6 months follow-up. When the duration of treatment reached 1 year and 1.5 years, HBV DNA rebound rate in the patients (40.0% and 40.0% respectively) with HBeAg sero-conversion was obviously less (chi2 = 12.424, 10.237, P<0.01) than in those without sero-conversion (88.2% and 85.0% respectively).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Lamivudine therapy for HBV infection is safe and effective. The optimal duration of treatment was 1.5 years. The early responders had better therapeutic effects. HBV DNA positivity persisting at the end of 3 months medication or no HBeAg sero-conversion in 1 year predicts poor therapeutic effects.</p>

Influence of process methods on contents of chemical component Radix Polygoni Multiflori / 中国中药杂志

Different methods of processing Radix Polygoni Multiflori and the change of chemical components including emodin, physcion, 2,3,5,4'-stilbene glucoside, and tannin were investigated. The dried roots of polygoni were processed in different ways, such as, steamed with black bean sauce, steamed with water, stewed with black bean sauce, and stewed with black bean sauce at high pressure, for h and 36 h, respectively. The process stewing with black bean sauce was also investigated for 12, 24, 36 h, and 48 h, respectively. The results indicated that 2,3,5,4'-stilbene glucoside and total free anthraquinones varied in different processes. In the process of black bean sauce stewing, the content of 2,3,5,4'-stilbene glucoside decreased with processing time, reached 17% of original at 48 h. The content of tannin and combined and free anthraquinones also decreased with processing time. It was concluded, therefore, that the processing of Radix Polygoni Multiflori should be standardized to avoid significant variation of chemical contents.
