ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand the iodine content of drinking water and iodine nutrition of key population in Anyang City, Henan Province, and to provide a basis for taking targeted prevention and control measures and scientific adjustment of intervention strategies.Methods:In 2019, stratified sampling method was used to carry out water iodine survey in all townships in Anyang City, and in townships with the median water iodine > 10 μg/L, water iodine survey was carried out in administrative villages, and water iodine content was detected. Two hundred children aged 8 - 10 years and 100 pregnant women were selected from each county (city, district) to test iodine contents of their household salt and urine, respectively.Results:Six hundred and eight water samples were collected in Anyang City, and the median water iodine was 5.98 μg/L. One thousand one hundred and fifty-six samples were collected, and the median water iodine was 34.10 μg/L. A total of 1 605 salt samples were collected in the city, and the median salt iodine was 24.30 mg/kg, the coverage rate of iodized salt was 91.8% (1 473/ 1 605). A total of 1 605 urine samples were collected from children in the city, and the median urinary iodine was 170.10 μg/L. Urine samples of 804 pregnant women were collected, and the median urinary iodine was 190.00 μg/L.Conclusion:Most areas of Anyang City still belong to iodine deficiency area, and the median urinary iodine of children and pregnant women is within the suitable range of iodine.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand the level of iodine nutrition in the areas with iodine deficiency and high iodine in Anyang City of Henan Province, and to provide a basis for taking targeted prevention and treatment measures and scientific adjustment of intervention strategies.Methods:In 2019, three areas with iodine deficiency (median iodine in water < 10 μg/L) and three areas with high water iodine (median iodine in water > 100 μg/L) were selected from counties (cities and districts) in Anyang City by stratified random sampling. Children aged 8-10 and pregnant women were selected in areas with high iodine and areas with iodine deficiency, respectively. Urine samples and salt samples were collected and tested, and children's thyroids were examined by B-mode ultrasound.Results:A total of 654 salt samples were collected in iodine deficiency areas, among which non-iodized salt accounted for 1.83% (12/654). A total of 628 salt samples were collected from areas with high iodine, among which non-iodized salt accounted for 6.05% (38/628). The difference in non-iodized salt rate between the two areas was statistically significant (χ 2=15.19, P < 0.05). A total of 654 urine samples were collected from children in iodine deficiency areas, with a median of 211.15 μg/L of urinary iodine, and 628 urine samples were collected from high iodine areas, with a median of 390.50 μg/L of urinary iodine. The difference was statistically significant ( U=- 18.34, P < 0.05). A total of 300 urine samples were collected from pregnant women in iodine deficiency areas, with a median of 223.95 μg/L, and 127 urine samples were collected from pregnant women in high iodine areas, with a median of 258.00 μg/L. The difference was statistically significant ( U=- 4.07, P < 0.05). The thyroid volume of 560 children in the iodine deficient areas was detected, and the swelling rate was 1.43% (8/560). The thyroid volume of 628 children in high iodine areas was detected, and the swelling rate was 2.07% (13/628). Conclusion:The iodine nutrition level of the population in the iodine deficiency areas of Anyang City is appropriate, while the iodine nutrition level of the population in the water source high iodine areas is excessive.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the iodine nutritional status of rural residents in Anyang City of Henan Province,and to provide theoretical basis for making policy adjustment on iodine supplement. Methods In 2015, Tangyin County and Anyang County were chosen from Anyang City, one township was selected from each county based on five orientations of east, west, south, north and centre, four villages were chosen from each township,15 households were taken from each village, and kitchen salt samples were collected to detect salt iodine;tap water samples were collected to detect water iodine.In the selected county,one medical institution was selected, 100 women of childbearing age,pregnant women,lactating women and infants aged 0-2 years old were selected to detect urinary iodine; one primary school was selected in the selected township, and 20 children aged 8 - 10 years old were selected to detect urinary iodine. Salt iodine was determined using direct titration (GB/T 13025.7-1999);urinary iodine and water iodine were determined using arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry(WS/T 107-2006). Results A total of 600 salt samples were collected, half from Anyang County and half from Tangyin County, the medians of salt iodine were 27.59,29.15 mg/kg,respectively,the difference was statistically significant(Z = - 4.92, P <0.05).A total of 47 water samples were collected,21 from Anyang County and 26 from Tangyin County,the medians of water iodine were 9.44,5.37 μg/L,respectively,the difference was not statistically significant(Z=-0.30, P > 0.05). A total of 985 key people were surveyed, children, women of childbearing age, pregnant women, lactating women and infants were 200, 205, 197, 187, 196, respectively, the medians of urinary iodine were 253.05, 249.80, 177.10, 266.40, 247.85 μg/L, respectively, the differences were statistically significant (χ2=29.76, P < 0.05). Urinary iodine levels of childbearing age women (226.60,313.85 μg/L),lactating women(230.85,286.20 μg/L) and infants (222.35, 275.35 μg/L) were compared between Anyang County and Tangyin County, the differences were statistically significant (Z=3.33,2.21,3.13,P<0.05).Conclusion The iodine nutritional status of rural residents in Anyang City is basically good,but the urinary iodine levels of general population are high.
ABSTRACT
Background: CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain containing (CMTM) superfamily is involved in the occurrence and development of inflammation, cancer and a variety of diseases.Human CMTM3 has been proposed as a putative tumor suppressor gene.Aims: To investigate the expression of CMTM3 in Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection-related chronic gastritis and its significance.Methods: Sixty cases of outpatients with chronic gastritis (30 Hp-positive and 30 Hp-negative) were enrolled for detection of CMTM3 and interleukin-6 (IL-6) expressions in gastric mucosa by immunohistochemistry.The correlation of expressions of CMTM3 and IL-6 was analyzed.Results: The positivity rates of CMTM3 and IL-6 in gastric mucosa were significantly higher in Hp-positive chronic gastritis than in Hp-negative ones (CMTM3: 63.3% vs.30.0%, P<0.05;IL-6: 73.3% vs.13.3%, P<0.01).In patients with Hp-positive chronic gastritis, CMTM3 and IL-6 were co-expressed in 53.3% (16/30) of the patients and localized in the same position.Expression of CMTM3 was positively correlated with IL-6 expression in Hp-positive chronic gastritis patients (r=0.58, P<0.05).Conclusions: CMTM3 is highly expressed in chronic gastritis patients with Hp infection.It may participate in the occurrence and development of Hp infection-related chronic gastritis with inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6.Hp infection might be one of the mechanisms involved in CMTM3 up-regulation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the natural changes of high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) in women with negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy (NILM) for regulating HR-HPV screening.Methods Four hundred and thirty-three newly-diagnosed women were enrolled from January 1st,2015 to December 31,2015 in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital.The ages of these patients were between 22 and 74 years,the average age was (45±21) years old.Two hundred and sixty-three cases were less than 50 years old,170 cases were more and equal to 50 years old.One hundred and fifty-six cases were HR-HPV positive,277 cases were HR-HPV negative.Follow up tests were conducted for all 433 patients,who were screened by ThinPrep cytologic test (TCT) combined with HR-HPV and were diagnosed with NILM,for a period of 1 year (at the 3,6,9 and 12 months intervals respectively),if the TCT results are abnormal and the HR-HPV test results are positive,will follow up colposcopy directed cervical biopsy.Results (1) HR-HPV natural changes:of 156 NILM cases with HR-HPV infection,42 cases (26.9％,42/156) turned negative within 3 months,88 cases (56.4％,88/156) turned negative within 6 months,99 cases (63.5％,99/156) turned negative within 9 months,and 100 cases (64.1％,100/156) turned negative within 12 months.The negative conversion ratio at 3,6,9 and 12 months for women at childbearing age (＜50 years) were significantly higher than those at non-childbearing age (≥50 years old;all P＜0.05).Of 277 NILM cases without HR-HPV infection,35 cases (12.6％,35/277) had new HR-HPV positive infections within 3 months,70 cases (25.3％,70/277) had new infections within 6 months,80 cases (28.9％,80/277) had new infections within 9 months,and 83 cases (30.0％,83/277) had new infections within 12 months.The new infections rate at 3,6,9 and 12 months for women at childbearing age (＜50 years old) were slightly higher than those at non-childbearing age (≥50 years old;all P＞0.05).(2) The progress of cervical leision:of 156 NILM cases with HR-HPV positive,no case progressed during 12 months follow-up.Of 277 NILM cases with HR-HPV negative,4 cases progressed to cervical intraepithelial neoplaisa (CIN) with HR-HPV infection and TCT abnormal during 12 months follow-up,including 2 cases pathology diagnosed with CIN Ⅰ,1 case with CIN Ⅱ,and 1 case with CIN Ⅲ.The progression rate was 1.4％ (4/277),which accounts for 4.8％ (4/83) of new HR-HPV infections cases in women.Conclusions The results of cytology combined with HR-HPV screenings suggest every 6 months for simple HR-HPV positive women,colposcopy directed cervical biopsy is recommended to assess cervical lesions if necessary.Cytology combined with HR-HPV screenings suggest every 12 months for simple HR-HPV negative women to early detection of cervical leision.

ABSTRACT
Acute pancreatitis is considered an autodigestive disorder in which inappropriate activation of trypsinogen to trypsin within pancre-atic acinar cells leads to the development of pancreatitis.Autophagy is an evolutionarily preserved degradation process of cytoplasmic cellular constituents,and it is one of the early pathological processes in acute pancreatitis.Autophagic flux is impaired in acute pancreatitis,which mediates the key pathologic responses of this disease.Impaired autophagy,dysfunction of lysosomes,and dysregulation of autophagy suggest a disorder of the endolysosomal pathway in acute pancreatitis.The role of autophagy in acute pancreatitis is discussed from the aspects of au-tophagic process,autophagy and activation of trypsinogen,impaired autophagy and acute pancreatitis,and defective autophagy promoting in-flammation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate diagnostic approaches of cervical glandular intraepithelial neoplasia (CGIN) for improving the diagnostic levels of CGIN.Methods Clinical data of 106 cases with CGIN admitted in hospital from Jan.2008 to Dec.2010 were analyzed retrospectively.All data from preoperative thin-prep cytologic test (TCT),cervical biopsies and postoperative pathological examination of the excised cervical tissues were reviewed.Results Among 106 patients,62 cases (58.5％,62/106) were low grade CGIN (L-CGIN),44 cases (41.5％,44/106) were high grade CGIN (H-CGIN) ; 25 cases (23.6％,25/106) were pure CGIN and 81 cases (76.4％,81/106) were CGIN mixed with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).Fifteen cases (14.2％,15/106) were found atypical glandular cell (AGC)by TCT..In the 15 cases,there were 4 cases (6.5％,4/62) L-CGIN,and 11 cases (25.0％,11/44)H-CGIN,there was significant difference between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05) ; among 15 cases with AGC,11 cases of them (44.0％,11/25) were pure CGIN,4 cases (4.9％,4/81) mixed with CIN,in which there were significant difference (P ＜0.01).Seven cases (25.0％,7/28) were detected glandular lesions in 28 cases by endocervical curettage (ECC).Totally 23 cases (22.8％,23/101) were detected CGIN by colposcopy-directed biopsy,11 cases (19.0％,11/58) were with L-CGIN,12 cases (27.9％,12/43)H-CGIN,there was no significant difference between them (P ＞ 0.05).Among the 23 cases,13 eases(52.0％,13/25) were pure CGIN,10 cases (12.3％,10/81) CGIN mixed with CIN,which showed significant difference (P ＜ 0.01).All 106 patients were treated,101 cases treated with cervical conization and 5 cases performed hysterectomy; 23 cases were diagnosed CGIN preoperation,the ratio of preoperative diagnosis was 21.7％ (23/106),83 cases (80.3％,83/106) diagnosed postoperatively.Conclusions Routine diagnostic methods of CGIN were not satisfaction,most CGIN were diagnosed after cervical resection.Cervical conization may play a very important role in diagnosis of CGIN.The positivity of TCT in H-CGIN was higher than L-CGIN.There was no different in diagnosing different CGIN grades by colposcopy-directed biopsy.The ratio of preoperative diagnosis of pure CGIN was higher than those with CGIN mixed with CIN.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression of vitronectin (VN) in placental basal plate and its relationship with the pathogenesis of severe preeclampsia.Methods From March 2010 to December 2011,17 patients with early-onset severe preeclampsia who delivered in the Second Hospital of Jilin University were recruited as the early-onset severe preeclampsia group; and 16 women were recruited as the late-onset severe preeclampsia group.Meanwhile,15 healthy pregnant women who delivered before 34 weeks were defined as the early control group (termination of pregnancy was carried out because of fetal heart malformations),and 15 healthy pregnant women delivered after 34 weeks were defined as the late control group.Imnunohistochemistry and semi-quantitative reverse transcription (RT)-PCR were used to investigate the expression of VN protein and mRNA in the placental infarct center and its surrounding tissue of placental basal plate.The levels of serum prothrombin time (PT),part thromboplastin time (APTT) and fibrinogen (FIb) were detected and the international normalized ratio (INR) was calculated.The correlation of abnormal coagulation markers and VN expression levels in the early-onset severe preeclampsia group and the early control group was studied.Results (l) VN protein was detected in all placental basal plate of the four groups.It was highly expressed in the necrotic tissue of placental infarct center and weakly expressed in the tissue far from the infarcted area.(2) The mean levels of VN protein expression in placental basal plate of the early-onset severe preeclampsia group,the late-onset severe preeclampsia group,the late control group and the early control group were 0.152 ± 0.019,0.113 ± 0.023,0.095 ± 0.014 and 0.055 ± 0.010,respectively.And the differences between the groups were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01).The VN protein expression in placental infarct center,infarct edge,peri-infarct tissue and tissue far from the infarcted area gradually reduced,and the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with the same areas of each group,the differences were not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).(3) VN mRNA were detectable in infarct center,infarct edge,per-infarct tissue and tissue far from the infarcted area of placental basal plate.In the early-onset severe preeclampsia group and the early control group,it was statistically higher in infarct center than in tissue far from the infarcted area (P ＜ 0.05).(4) PT of the early-onset severe preeclampsia group was (9.45 ± 0.63) s,significantly shorter than that of the early control group [(9.88 ± 0.17) s,P ＜ 0.05].While there was no statistically significant difference in APTT,FIB and INR among the four groups (P ＞ 0.05).(5) In the early-onset severe preeclampsia group,VN expression level and PT were significantly negative correlated (r =-0.612,P ＜0.05) ; while in the early control group there was no correlation (r =0.489,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion VN was highly expressed in placental basal plate of the early-onset severe preeclampsia group,which caused the imbalance of coagulation and fibrinolysis system and the pathogenesis of severe preeclampsia.
