ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of thyroid nodules in children aged 8-10 years in Suzhou , and to provide a scientific basis for the rational prevention and treatment of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). Methods PPS sampling method was used in this study. Questionnaire survey, physical examination and thyroid B-ultrasound examination were conducted on students aged 8-10 years. Salt samples and urine samples were collected for laboratory detection of the salt iodine and urinary iodine. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the risk factors related to thyroid nodules. Results A total of 2 048 children aged 8-10 years were included in the present survey, and the prevalence of thyroid nodules was 23.34% (478/2 048). The prevalence of nodules in boys was 20.98% (218/1 039), and the prevalence of nodules in girls was 25.77% (260/1 009). Multivariate analysis showed that gender (OR=1.338, P=0.006), height (OR=1.993, P=0.001), frequency of iodine-rich food intake (OR=0.862, P=0.048) and nutritional supplements (OR=1.469, P=0.008) were correlated with the prevalence of thyroid nodules. Conclusion The prevalence rate of thyroid nodules in children aged 8-10 years old in Suzhou is 23.34%. Female gender, higher height, regular intake of iodine-rich foods and dietary supplements are statistically associated with the prevalence of thyroid nodules, which may be risk factors for the prevalence of thyroid nodules , but further research is needed to confirm.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the size of thyroid of children aged 8 - 10 in Suzhou City and explore its influencing factors.Methods:According to the requirements of the "Jiangsu Province Iodine Deficiency Disorders Monitoring Plan", a stratified multi-stage sampling method was conducted in 10 counties (cities, districts) under the jurisdiction of Suzhou City in five directions: east, west, south, north, and middle from May 2019 to July 2020. Forty children aged 8 - 10 (age balanced, half male and half female) were selected from each primary school for thyroid volume examination, height and weight measurement, and questionnaire survey. At the same time, salt samples from children's homes and random urine samples were collected for iodine content testing, and explore the influencing factors of the thyroid volume.Results:A total of 2 046 children aged 8 - 10 were selected, including 1 038 boys and 1 008 girls. The thyroid volume of children was (3.183 ± 1.042) ml, while the total goiter rate (TGR) was 2.93% (60/2 046). Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in thyroid volume among groups with different age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), presence or absence of nodules, and different dietary frequencies (eating solid snacks, iodine-rich foods, cruciferous vegetables, and meat at different frequencies, P < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that thyroid volume was positively correlated with age, height, weight, BMI, body surface area (BSA), thyroid nodules, consumption of iodine-rich foods and cruciferous vegetables ( r = 0.24, 0.34, 0.32, 0.21, 0.35, 0.19, 0.05, 0.04, P < 0.05), while negatively correlated with consumption of meat ( r = - 0.04, P = 0.047). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that age, BSA, thyroid nodules, consumption of solid snacks and cruciferous vegetables entered the equation, with standardized partial regression coefficient values were 0.11, 0.30, 0.16, 0.05, 0.05, respectively. Conclusions:The thyroid volume of children aged 8 - 10 in Suzhou City is not only influenced by age, but also by factors such as BSA, thyroid nodules, consumption of solid snacks, and cruciferous vegetables.

ABSTRACT

Objective To understand the current situation of patients with advanced schistosomiasis in Suzhou, and to provide a basis for scientific management, medical assistance, and improvement of patients' quality of life. Methods Questionnaire survey, physical examination and B-ultrasound examination were performed on the registered patients with advanced schistosomiasis. The diagnosis and classification were carried out according to the “Schistosomiasis Control Manual”. The epidemiological and clinical characteristics, disease classification, and medical and financial assistance of all existing patients were analyzed. Results There were 2 420 cases of advanced schistosomiasis in Suzhou. Their distribution was highly correlated with the cumulative area of oncomelania snails and the cumulative number of schistosomiasis patients in each district (county) (r=0.949, P2=26.591, P2 =226.034, P<0.001), and the condition of patients with ascites was the worst. 1 438 patients' labor level was reduced, and 540 patients lost their labor ability, while only 442 patients were normal. Age increase (β=0.012,P<0.001), clinical classification being ascites type (β=0.346,P<0.001) and need for treatment (β=0.298,P<0.001) were risk factors for the loss of labor ability in patients with late schistosomiasis. The stable condition of the disease (β= -0.089,P=0.001) was a protective factor. Conclusion There are a large number of advanced schistosomiasis cases in Suzhou, and the epidemiological characteristics of advanced schistosomiasis patients in different districts (cities) are different. The relief work of advanced schistosomiasis in Suzhou should focus on the historical heavy epidemic areas, strengthen the nursing care of the elderly patients, and pay attention to the quality of life of patients with ascites. It is also important to strengthen the follow-up nursing of patients with splenomegaly to avoid turning into ascites. All districts and counties should be guided by the characteristics of local patients and formulate targeted scientific management methods and rescue policies to improve the quality of life of patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter genicular artery embolization (GAE) for moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis (KOA).Methods:This prospective study included 13 patients (17 knees) with KOA who were treated with GAE from October 2020 to March 2021. The Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grade was 2-3 for 11 knees, and 4 for 6 knees. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) and the Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (WORMS) assessments were performed for all the subjects before operation. The success rate, clinical efficacy and complications were recorded after operation. Clinical outcomes were evaluated at 1 day, 1week and 1, 3, 6 months after the operation.Results:The success rate of GAE in 17 cases was 100%, and the success rate of target artery superselection was 98.4%(63/64). The baseline WOMAC pain score was 11(10, 13) and total score was 44(38, 58) for 17 knees. Post-operation follow-up WOMAC pain score were 4(3, 7), 2(1, 5), 2(1, 6) and 4(2, 6) at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months. Post-operation follow-up WOMAC total score were 22 (15, 34),20 (12, 24),17 (12, 26) and 20 (12, 31) at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months. There were 16 knees with 6 month follow-up assessment, with the WOMAC pain score of 2.5(2, 5), and the total score of 15(12, 26). Significant difference was found in the WOMAC pain score between baseline and the 1 day, 1 week, 1, 3 and 6 months follow up ( Z=-3.631, -3.623, -3.622, -3.622, -3.532, all P<0.001); also, the total score was statistically significant different between the baseline and the 1 day, 1 week, 1, 3 and 6 months follow up ( Z=-3.639, -3.634, -3.646, -3.527, -3.532, all P<0.001). At 3 months follow-up, there was 1 knee recognized clinical failure. Post-operative adverse reaction in this group included skin ecchymosis in femoral artery puncture area ( n=3), knee joint stiffness and pain within 1 week ( n=4),and clanging joints during postoperative activities ( n=6). Conclusion:GAE is a feasible and safe procedure with obvious short-term curative effect, which can alleviate pain symptoms and improve restricted movement in patients with KOA.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the iodine nutritional status among school-age children within 5 years of implementation of the new salt iodine standard in Suzhou, and to provide a basis for dynamically adjusting the salt iodization strategy. Methods The observation period (2012-2019) was divided into two sub-periods: the adjustment transition period (2012-2014) and the adjustment completion period (2015-2019). According to the “Jiangsu Iodine Deficiency Disease Surveillance Program”, household salt samples and urine samples of school-age children aged 8 to 10 years were collected to detect the content of salt iodine and urine iodine. The coverage rate of iodized salt, qualified iodized salt consumption rate, and the median urinary iodine were determined. Results Totally 2 893 and 9 132 salt samples were collected in the adjustment transition and adjustment completion periods, with the median salt iodine content being 26.50 and 23.20 mg/kg, respectively. The iodized salt coverage rates were 97.03% (2 807/2 893) and 91.01% (2 633/2 893), and the consumption rates of qualified iodized salt were 97.25% (8 881/9 132) and 93.93% (8 578/9 132), respectively, in the two periods. The differences between the coverage rate of iodized salt and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt between the two periods were statistically significant (χ2=38.465, P2 trend= 17.528, P<0.01). During the adjustment transition period, the median urinary iodine content of school-age children in Suzhou was 215.61 μg/L , and the proportion of urine iodine value <50 μg/L was 1.5%, while during the adjustment completion period the median urinary iodine and proportion of urine iodine value <50 μg/L were 192.60 μg/L and 2.40%, respectively. The difference in urine iodine between the two periods was statistically significant (Z=-9.918, P<0.01); Conclusions Five years after the implementation of the new salt iodization standard, the iodine nutritional level of school-age children in Suzhou was generally at an appropriate level. However, there was no significant changes in iodine nutritional levels in some areas after the adjustment of the new standard, suggesting that surveillance on iodine nutrition should be continuously consolidated in the future.

ABSTRACT

Objective To survey the epidemiology of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among elderly people in two districts of Jiangsu province, China. Methods A total of 1404 residents aged 60 years or older in Huaian and Suzhou city in Jiangsu province were randomly recruited from the community population. All the people were screened for albuminuria (increased morning spot urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, UACR) and reduced renal function (decreased eGFR by simplified MDRD equation). Urinary creatinine and albumin, serum creatinine, uric acid, cholesterol,triglyceride, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and fasting blood (1.73 m2) -1] and/or albuminuria (UACR ≥30 mg/g). The associations between healthy characteristics and indicators of kidney damage were examined. Results A total of 1316 (93.7%) elderly people completed the study. The prevalence of CKD was 32.3% and the awareness rate was only 9.6%. Albuminuria and reduced renal function were found in 30.2% and 3.2% of subjects respectively. The Logistic regression model showed that age, gender, hypertension,hypercholesterinemia and hyperuricaemia were independently associated with CKD. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 140-159 mm Hg exhibited a lower adjusted OR value (0.675) for CKD, while SBP of 160-179 mm Hg and of at least 180 mm Hg exhibited higher adjusted OR values (1.330 and 1.146). Similarly, FBG of 5.6-6.9 mmol/L exhibited a lower adjusted OR value for CKD as compared to FBG of at least 7.0 mmol/L (0.628 vs 1.941). Conclusions The prevalence of CKD in elderly people of Jiangsu province is quite high. Age, gender, hypertension,hypercholesterinemia and hyperuricaemia are independent risk factors for the development of CKD.
