ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand the relationship between screen time and dietary behaviors among urban middle school students in Guangzhou, and to provide scientific evidence for improving students’ health.@*Methods@#Based on the regular medical examinations for elementary and middle school students in Guangzhou, a total of 12 357 middle school students (grade 7 and grade 10) were investigated by using a cross-sectional study. The physical indicators and daily routine were collected by physical examination and questionnaire survey. Multiple Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the association between screen time and dietary behaviors among students.@*Results@#The proportion of excessive screen time was 18.80% (2 323). There was no significant difference between boys (18.52%, 1 165/6 292) and girls (19.09%, 1 158/6 065) (χ2=0.67, P>0.05). Logistic regression results showed that excessive screen time was negatively associated with consumption of vegetables and fruits, with the aORs of 0.50 (95%CI=0.42-0.58) and 0.64 (95%CI=0.58-0.70) respectively, and positively associated with consumption of fried food (OR=1.90, 95%CI=1.70-2.09), western fast food (OR=1.90, 95%CI=1.65-2.19), sweets (OR=1.36, 95%CI=1.25-1.49) and sugar-sweetened beverage (OR=1.70, 95%CI=1.57-1.84).@*Conclusion@#Excessive screen time was associated with unhealthy dietary behaviors among middle school students in Guangzhou. Intervention should be tailored to screen time as well as dietary behaviors.
ABSTRACT
Objective To determin the amino acids in silkworm extract by High Performance Liquid Chromatography with Precolumn Derivatization.Methods With the technology of precolumn derivatization, along with high performance liquid DABS-CL and a high-efficiency YMC-Pack ODS-A column(250?4.6mm, 5 ?m), with mobile phase being A:25mol/L KH2PO4 and B: acetonitrile : methyl alcohol =70:30, at flow rate of 1.5 ml/min, peaks were detected at 436nm and column temperature being 35℃.Results All kinds of amino acids have a nice linear relations (r=0.9989~0.9999), precision (RSD
ABSTRACT
Objective To set up a simple and accurate method for the determination of total Glucosides in Paeonia lactifloria (TGP) by HPLC.Methods Benzoic acid being as contiol,the amounts of TGP were obtained from the following formula :TGP( ) = benzoic acid() ?480. 27/ 121. 121. Benzoic acid was determined by HPLC. Chromatographic conditions concluded YMC-Pack ODS-A(5?m,150?4.6mm)column and the mobile phase consisting a mixture of MeOH - 0.05mol?L - 1KH2PO4 - HAC - isopropanol (85:155:4:6). Benzoic acid was detected at 230nm wavelength.Results The calibration curves of Benzoic acid were in good linearity over the range of 0.1~2g(r=1.0000). The average recovery of Benzoic acid was 101.12(n=9,RSD=2.49). Conclusion This method is simple and can be easily repeated.
ABSTRACT
Objective To set up a simple and accurate method for the determination of saikosaponins in Bupleurum chinense DC. by UV-Visible Spectrophotometry. Methods The content of saikosaponins was determined by UV-Visible Spectrophotometry. The absorbency was measured at 536nm. Results The calibration curves was linear within 194~1940mg/L(r=0.9996). The average recovery was 97.35%,and the RSD was 1.02%(n=9). Conclusion The method was proved to be simple, precise and reproduciable. It can be used for the quantitative determination of B upleurum chinense DC.
ABSTRACT
[Objective]To develop a method using HPLC for determination content of saikosaponin a and saikosaponin d of Radix Bupleuri from different areas.[Method]Column:YMC-Pack ODS-A C18(250?46 mm,5?m),mobile phase:acetonitrile-water(43∶57),detected wavelength:203nm.[Results]The regression eguations of saikosaponin a and saikosaponin d were Ya =1.223?106 X - 2.249 8?105(r = 0.999 9),Yd = 2.093?106 X - 4.786 2?105 (r = 0.999 8).The average recovery rates of saikosaponin a and saikosaponin d were 98.13 %,97.99 %.[Conclusion]The HPLC method is simply and suitable to control quantitative of radix bupleurum.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the therapeutic effect of shengxuening (SXN) in treating iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) and to explore its molecular mechanism on iron metabolism balance regulation.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Patients with IDA were randomly divided into the treated group and the control group, 50 in each group. They were treated with SXN (0.1 g, three times per day) and ferrous gluconate (0.1 g, three times per day) respectively, for 30 days. Levels of serum iron (Fe), total iron binding capacity (TIBC), transferrin saturation (TS), serum ferritin (SF), transferrin (Tf), soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) and blood routine test, as well as scoring of TCM qi-blood deficiency Syndrome were conducted before and after treatment.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The total effective rate in the treated group reached 92%, it was shown that SXN could improve the iron metabolism, increase levels of Fe, TS, SF and reduce levels of TIBC, Tf, sTfR, it has obvious effect in promoting erythrocyte generation and could promote formation of leucocytes and platelets. The total effective rate in the control group was 32%, which was significantly lower than that in the treated group (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The effect of SXN in treating IDA and qi-blood deficiency Syndrome is evident, it could improve the iron metabolism, increase levels of Fe, TS, SF and lower levels of TIBC, Tf, sTfR.</p>
