Objective: To understand rural students’ perception and satisfaction of the Nutrition Improvement Program for Rural Compulsory Education Students (NIPRCES), and to provide basis for promoting students’ participation in the school feeding program and improving the acceptability of school feeding. Methods: In 3 national pilot counties and 2 local pilot counties of NIPRCES, 1 middle school and 1 primary school were randomly selected. Two classes of 2 364 students from grade 4 to grade 9 were randomly selected and investigated with questionnaires. Results: Students were aware of the policy, with 78.9% of the students reported to be familiar with NIPRCES. The awareness rate of students at the national pilot areas was higher than that in local pilot areas(P<0.05). Students showed positive attitude towards NIPRCES. The median score of students’ understandings of the influence of NIPRCES was 20.0 (18.0, 20.0) points. Students in national pilot areas showed a more positive attitude toward the program than those in local pilot areas(P<0.05). Moderate satisfaction was reported in school feeding, 78.7% of students thought that school provided adequate amount of food, and 60.9% of the students enjoyed the food very much. The main reasons for leftovers were too much in amount(27.4%), repetition of food types (22.8%) and food aversions(9.2%). Conclusion Students are quite aware of NIPRCES and show moderate satisfaction in school feeding. The awareness and satisfaction are relatively higher among students in national pilot areas than those in local pilot areas. Health promoting schools should be established and students and parents should be advocated to take part in the program, health education need to be promoted in schools. Experiences sharing between different places could help improve the quality and acceptability of school feeding program.

Abstract Water is essential for human survival and development, and participates in many physiological functions. The three sources and four pathways of water maintain the dynamic balance of body water. Drinking water is the main source of water for the body, and urine excreted through the kidney is the main way for the body to excrete water. Water drinking behavior includes water intake and water type selection. Analyzing hydration state and health from the perspective of water intake and water type selection, the paper found that the research on water intake and widing behavior needed more attention in China. It is necessary to carry out more investigations on drinking water and voiding behaviors in China, and to explore the associations of water drinking and voiding behaviors with health. It will provide scientific data for revising the recommendation on adequate water intake for Chinese residents, to promote the formation of healthy water drinking and voiding behaviors, to maintain adequate hydration state, and to promote health ultimately.

Objective: To investigate drinking behaviors in weekdays and weekends among college students in Hebei Province during spring, and to provide references for propaganda of water drinking. Methods: A total of 156 college students in Hebei Province were selected using simple random sampling method. The survey began in March 2017. 7-day 24hour recording method was applied to record the amount and type of water drinking during for consistent consecutive 7 days, duplicate portion method was used to weigh the food consumed during the consistent consecutive 3 days and to record the water contained in the food. Results: Water intake from food among subjects during weekdays was higher than that among subjects during weekends (1 191 mL vs 1 113 mL, P<0.01). Only 21.9% and 19.9% of subjects consumed sufficient water during weekdays and weekends, according to the recommendation of China on total fluids intake, respectively. The proportion of water intake from staple food among male subjects during weekdays was lower than that during weekends (28.6% vs 31.1%). The proportion of water intake in males from porridge, water intake from soup and vegetables among subjects during weekdays were higher than those among subjects during weekends (6.8% vs 0; 141 mL vs 0 mL; 699 mL vs 647 mL). Water intake from staple food and vegetables among females during weekdays was higher than that during weekends (256 mL vs 210 mL; 559 mL vs 536 mL). There were no statistically differences on plain water, milk and beverages among subjects during weekdays and weekends(P>0.05). Conclusion Water intake from food among college students in Hebei Province during weekdays in spring is higher than that during weekends. There is discrepancy on sources of water intake from food during weekdays and weekends, while no similar difference on sources of drinking water. Proportion of college students without sufficient daily water intake during weekdays and weekends is relatively high which warrants further notice.

Objective: To investigate drinking behaviors among college students in Hebei Province during 8 periods of a day(before breakfast, during breakfast, after breakfast, during lunch, after lunch, during super, after super, during night in spring, and to analyze the drinking behaviors during different time periods so as to provide the scientific reference for health progaganda of water drinking. Methods: A total of 156 college students in Hebei Province were selected using simple random sampling method. The information of frequency, types and patterns of daily water drinking during 8 time periods, including morning, afternoon and evening, during meal and non-meal time, were recorded using the 7-day 24-hour recording method. Results: During 8 time periods, the amount (325 mL) and the percentages (89.8%) of drinking water after dinner was highest(Z=774.72, P<0.01), while water drinking after lunch and dinner was more common(Z=839.05, P<0.01). The amount (439 mL) of water intake in the evening was highest(Z=45.14, P<0.01), while water intake during the afternoon and evening was more common(2.3 time on average)(Z=40.34, P<0.01). About 54.2% of participants drank water during meal, while 99.2% drank water during non-meal time. The amount of water intake, the percentage of total daily water intake and the number of water intake during meal time was lower than those during non-meal time(Z=-14.58, -15.07, P<0.01). Conclusion Drinking behaviors in different time period among college students in Hebei Province during spring varies significantly. The amount of water intake in non-meal time is generally higher than that in meal time. Further efforts are needed to increase drinking water availability and consumption, as well encourage consumption of water among college students.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the formulation of ferulic acid ligustrazine (FATM) solid lipid nanoparticles (FATM-SLN),and conduct the quality evaluation. METHODS:Emulsification ultrasonic method was used to prepare FATM-SLN. Using particle size and entrapment efficiency as indexes,amount of glyceryl monostearate,egg yolk lecithin (PC),poloxamer 188 (P188),and sodium stearate as factors,single factor test and orthogonal test were used to optimize the formulation;and verifica-tion test was conducted. The appearance morphology,distribution of particle size,Zeta potential,stability and in vitro release de-gree of prepared FATM-SLN were investigated. RESULTS:The optimal formulation was as follows as FATM of 10 mg,glyceryl monostearate of 300 mg,PC of 200 mg,P188 of 200 mg,sodium stearate of 10 mg,and purified water of 20 mL. The prepared FATM-SLN showed spherical solid particles,appearance morphology was round,distribution of particle size was 40-800 nm,parti-cle size was 106.23 nm,polydispersity index was 0.254,Zeta potential was -34.8 mV,entrapment efficiency was 73.32%,drug loading was 1.20%;the appearance had no obvious changes within 10 d in 4 ℃(RSD<2%).

Objective: To investigate students’ satisfaction on school feeding program in 8 cities in China, and to provide the basis for improving school feeding management and lunch quality. Methods: Multi-stage random cluster sampling method was used to randomly select the second, fifth and eighth-grade students from 67 primary and middle schools in 8 cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Harbin, Shijiazhuang, Guangzhou, Changsha, Bengbu and Pinghu. Results: A total of 15 475 students participated in the survey, 15 170(98.0%) of which were valid questionnaires. A total of 13 297(87.7%) students had lunch in school. Twenty-six(38.8%), 14(20.9%) and 27(40.3%) schools served lunch by self-run canteens, custody canteens, and food delivery companies respectively. Twenty-one schools provided milk or yogurt for lunch, accounting for 31.3%. The reported rates of very satisfied, satisfied, moderate, dissatisfied, and extremely dissatisfied among students were 40.8%, 28.1%, 20.1%, 7.3%, and 3.6%, respectively. The satisfaction rate of the eighth-grade students was lower than that of the second-and fifth-grade(56.9% vs 77.1% vs 73.5%). The satisfaction rate among students from schools with self-run canteen was higher than that of custody canteens and food delivery companies(73.8% vs 60.5% vs 66.2%). The satisfaction rate of school lunch is highest in dining surrounding (75.3%), followed by amount of meals(71.6%), food hygiene(71.1%), food combination(65.4%), and the appearance of the food(60.5%), and food taste(55.9%). Conclusion The satisfaction rate of students for school lunch was acceptable. The food taste is the main factor for students’ dissatisfaction. Schools should be encouraged to provide lunch in the self-run canteens with tasty food while meeting the nutritional standard.
