Aim To investigate the blockade of cadmium on store operated calcium channels and the fluorescence interference of cadmium with Fura-2.Methods PC12 cells were used to determine the intracellular calcium concentration [Ca~(2+)]i indicated by change in Fura-2 fluorescence ratio(F_(340)/F_(380)).Results Introduction of cadmium induced a significant increase in Fura-2 fluorescence ratio following thapsigargin-evoked calcium entry;Besides,cadmium gave rise to a remarkable elevation in Fura-2 fluorescence ratio following breakdown of the plasma membrane by triton,a detergent.The Fura-2 fluorescence was increased in the presence of cadmium and Fura-2/AM,simultaneously in the absence of PC12 cells.Conclusion Cadmium can interfere with the Fura-2 fluorescence.

Objective To understand the implementation of preventive measures for iodine deficiency disorders among residents in Yunnan Province.Methods Iodized salt monitoring database and reports from states (cities) of Yunnan Province from 2011 to 2015 were collected,and the coverage rate of iodized salt,the quality of iodized salt,the rate of qualified iodized salt consumption were evaluated.Results From 2011 to 2015,at the province level,the coverage rate of iodized salt was ＞ 98％.The rate of qualified iodized salt consumption was ＞ 97％ from 2011 to 2012,and kept at higher than 95％ from 2013 to 2015.At the county level,the county (city,district) coverage rate of qualified iodized salt that ≥90％ accounted for 99.22％ (128/129),98.44％ (126/128),91.47％ (118/129),92.25％ (119/129) and 99.22％ (128/129).The constitute ratio of salt containing 18-33 mg/kg iodine increased year by year,from 64.07％ (24 297/37 923) in 2011 to 95.15％ (36 930/38 813) in 2015.Conclusions In recent years,measures for control of iodine deficiency disorders are implemented well in Yunnan Province.After production of new standard iodized salt in 2012,the rate of qualified iodized salt consumption is decreased.After the four-year transition period,the new standard iodized salt has covered over the whole province.To rectify salt market,improve quality of iodized salt and enhance monitoring quality in order to consolidate the control achievements is the focus of prevention work in the future.

AIM　To study the synthesis of zinc chlorin e4 (1), its experimental antigastrelcosis activity as well as the protection against acute liver injuries. METHODS　Chlorin e6 (3) was prepared through acidic and alkaline oxidative degradation using silkworm excrement crude chlorophyll extracts as starting material. Compound 1 was synthesized via Zn(OAc)2 complex action with Chlorin e4 (2) which was prepared by refluxing 3 in pyridine. Gastric ulcers were induced by abdominal injection of 0.2% indomethacin at 20 mg.kg-1 in rats. The ulcer indexes and ulcer numbers in gastric mucosa were determined. Acute liver injuries were induced by abdominal injection of 0.3% thioacetamide (TAA) or 0.3% CCl4 at 20 mg.kg-1 in mice, and activities of SGPT in mice were determined. RESULTS　Compound 1 is previously unknown. Compared with control group, abdominal administration of 1 at 100 mg.kg-1 reduced significantly the gastric ulcer index (P<0.001) and the number of ulcer (P<0.001) induced by indomethacin in rats. Abdominal administration of 1 at 100 mg.kg-1×3 exhibited marked inhibitory effects on elevated activities of SGPT induced by TAA (P<0.02) or CCl4 (P<0.01) in mice. CONCLUSION　These results show that 1 has significant protective effect against indomethacin-induced gastric lesion in rats and TAA or CCl4 induced acute liver injuries in mice. It is suggested that 1 may be a promising new drug candidate for antigastrelcosis and liver injury protection.

Objective To evaluate the surgical treatment of complex acetabular fractures through the lateral-rectus approach with pelvic reconstructive plate and antegrade posterior-column lag screws.Methods Between January 2014 and April 2018,29 patients were surgically treated for complex acetabular fractures at Department of Orthopaedic and Trauma,Taihe Hospital.They were 22 males and 7 females,aged from 19 to 72 years(mean,41.7 years).According to the Letournel-Judet classification,there were 4 transverse fractures,7 T-shape fractures,15 both column fractures and 3 anterior plus posterior hemitransverse fractures.In all the patients,the lateral-rectus approach was adopted;their anterior column fractures were fixated with pelvic reconstructive plate and screws and their posterior column fractures with antegrade lag screws.The operation time,intraoperative bleeding,fracture reduction,fracture union time,function of the affected hip and complications were recorded.Results The operation time ranged from 50 to 140 min,averaging 85 min;the volume of intraoperative bleeding ranged from 150 to 1,100 mL,averaging 315 mL.By the Matta criteria,the reduction was rated as excellent in 21 cases,as good in 7 and as poor in one,giving an excellent to good rate of 96.6％.The average follow-up was 16.2 months (from 6 to 30 months) for the 29 patients.Their fractures got united after an average of 11 weeks (from 7 to 13 weeks).According to the Merle d'Aubigné & Postel scoring system at the last follow-up,the function of the affected hip was excellent in 20 cases,good in 7 and fair in 2,yielding an excellent to good rate of 93.1％.There was one case of vasospasm of external iliac artery.No such complications were observed by follow-up as infection,deep venous thrombosis,heterotopic ossification,osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis of the femoral head.Conclusions The lateral-rectus approach with pelvic reconstructive plate and antegrade posterior-column lag screws is a suitable surgical treatment for complex acetabular fractures,leading to satisfactory clinical results.The lateral-rectus approach provides adequate exposure of the quadrilateral surface and facilitates insertion of the posterior column antegrade lag screws.

Objective To analyze the iodine nutritional status in the key populations before and after the adjustment of iodized salt in Yunnan Province,and to provide scientific basis for adjusting the strategy of prevention and treatment timely.Methods The probability proportional to size sampling method was employed in the investigation.In the pre-adjustment period (2011) and the post-adjustment period (2014),the changes in the residents' iodized salt,the urinary iodine and goiter prevalence of children aged 8-10,the urinary iodine of pregnant women and lactating women were analyzed.Results Before and after adjusting the salt iodine concentration,the coverage rate of iodized salt was 99.1％ (1 196/1 207) and 99.2％ (1 532/1 545),respectively,the mean of salt iodine after the adjustment (23.6 mg/kg) was significantly lower than that of before (30.1 mg/kg,F =17.287,P ＜ 0.01).There was significant difference in the iodine nutritional status of children from 271.4 to 180.9 μg/L (Z=-12.883,P ＜ 0.01).The difference of iodine nutritional status in pregnant women between pre-adjustment (217.3 μg/L) and postadjustment (143.7 μg/L) was also significant (Z =9.997,P ＜ 0.01).The thyroid goiter rate of children had inceased from 1.7％ (21/1 207) to 2.1％ (33/1 549),the difference was not statistically significant between the groups (x2=0.539,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions After adjusting the salt iodine concentration in Yunnan Province,iodine nutrition of children has decreased from more than adequate level to adequate level,thyroid goiter rate of children has remained at the low level,and iodine nutrition of pregnant women is sightly lower than adequate level,but iodine deficiency of pregnant women is at a low risk because of the good iodized salt coverage.The new standard of iodized salt is appropriate,and it is more favorable to health in Yunnan Province.

Objective:To accurately grasp the current status of water iodine distribution in environmental of Yunnan Province, and provide a basis for scientific iodine supplementation.Methods:In 2017, according to the "National Drinking Water Iodine Content Survey Program", a survey of water iodine content was conducted in townships. In 2018, a search survey was carried out for administrative villages with water samples of iodine content > 40 μg/L in drinking water found in previous surveys. In centralized water supply villages, 2 samples of end water were collected. In decentralized or partially decentralized water supply villages, each village was divided into 5 parts: east, south, west, north and center. In villages with more than 50 water sources, 10% of the water sources were selected from each part; villages with less than 50 water sources, one water source was selected from each part; villages with less than 5 water sources, all the water sources were selected to determine the water iodine content. At the same time, the mode of water supply and demographic data were investigated.Results:At the township level water iodine survey, a total of 24 589 water samples were collected from 1 389 townships in 129 counties of 16 prefectures (cities). The median water iodine content of township was 1.3 μg/L, ranging 0.0 - 9.3 μg/L. The population covered by the survey accounted for 53.94% (25 013 804/46 371 207) of the total population of the province. According to the survey results of high iodine villages, 93 administrative villages in 68 townships of 37 counties in 12 prefectures (cities) were surveyed, covering 40 940 households and 208 880 people. A total of 761 samples of drinking water were tested, and the median water iodine content of administrative villages was 1.3 μg/L (ranging 0.0 - 196.8 μg/L). There were 2 administrative villages with iodine higher than 100 μg/L, which were Xiaobona Administrative Village (145.8 μg/L) in Liuchang Township, Xiangyun County, and Dasongshu Administrative Village (196.8 μg/L) in Yangchang Township, Xuanwei City.Conclusions:The iodine content of water in Yunnan Province is generally low, which belongs to the area of environmental iodine deficiency. For the high iodine villages, further investigation should be carried out to clarify the prevention and control measures.
