Objective To investigate the status of maternal iodine deficiency in Lishui City of Zhejiang Province, and explore the effect of maternal iodine deficiency on the growth and development of infants. Methods A total of 209 pregnant women living in Liandu District of Lishui City from January 2017 to December 2018 were selected by stratified sampling method. Urine iodine level in pregnant women and iodine content in edible salt at home were determined to assess the status of iodine deficiency and to analyze the influencing factors. Their babies were followed up for 1 year, and metabolic disease screening and physical examination were carried out to evaluate the growth and development. Results The median of urinary iodine levels in 2017 and 2018 were 165 µg·L-1 and 192 µg·L-1, respectively. Both of the values met the standard of iodine sufficiency. The results of salt iodine content in pregnant women's homes showed that 7 cases (3.35%) were without iodized salt and 202 cases (96.65%) with iodized salt, including 186 cases (89.00%) with qualified iodized salt. Univariate analysis showed that pregnancy, education level, intake of iodized salt, cooking methods of salt, intake frequency of iodine-rich food and knowledge of iodine nutrition had significant impact on iodine deficiency in pregnant women (

ObjectiveTo determine the pathogens and drug resistance in patients with bacterial diarrhea in Lishui City of Zhejiang Province from 2015 to 2019, and provide scientific evidence for prevention and treatment of bacterial diarrhea. MethodFecal specimens were collected from patients with diarrhea in the People’s Hospital of Lishui City from 2015 to 2019. Bacteria were identified by time-of-flight mass spectrometer and serum agglutination reaction. Drug sensitivity in the suspected bacteria was identified by VITEK 2 Compact system. ResultsA total of 2 937 fecal samples were tested from 2015 to 2019, of which 191 were positive for bacteria. The prevalence was 6.65% in male and 6.32% in female. It was highest in the age group 21‒30 years old, followed by the group 51‒60 years old. Summer was the season with the highest prevalence of bacteria. Furthermore,the bacterial species included salmonella (3.98%), Vibrio parahaemolyticus (1.43%), aeromonas (0.48%), shigella (0.37%) and other bacteria (3.66%). Salmonella had high resistance to cefuroxime and amikacin. Vibrio parahaemolyticus and shigella had high resistance to ampicillin. Aeromonas had high resistance to ampicillin and ampicillin/sulbactam. ConclusionPrevalence of bacteria differs by gender, age and seasons in patients with bacterial diarrhea in Lishui from 2015 to 2019. Salmonella is the principal pathogen in bacterial diarrhea. Additionally, multiple drug resistance is commonly identified. Therefore, it warrants strengthening the pathogenic surveillance on bacteria and drug resistance in bacterial diarrhea.

AIMTo investigate the role and mechanism of mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) in myocardial hypoxia/reoxygenation injury.
METHODSIsolated rat hearts were perfused with Langendorff apparatus. The hypoxia/reoxygenation injury was achieved by ligation of left anterior coronary artery for 30 min followed by release of ligation for 120 min. The left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), the maximum rise/fall rate of left ventricular pressure (+/- dP/dt(max)), and the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) were recorded. Activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in coronary effluent and reactive oxygen species (ROS) of myocardial mitochondria were spectrophotometrically assayed. Infarct size was determined by TTC staining method.
RESULTSCompared with the hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) group, ruthenium red (RR, 5 micromol/L), given at the on set of reoxygenation, significantly improved the contractile function of left ventricle, decreased the myocardial infarct size, alleviated the production of ROS in myocardial mitochondria and LDH release in coronary effluent. Spermine (20 micromol/L), given at the onset of reoxygenation, enhanced the production of ROS in the mitochondria and LDH release in coronary effluent at 5, 20 and 30 min of reoxygenation, however, there were no significant differences of ventricular contractile parameters and infarct size between groups subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation with or without spermine treatment. Co-treatment of ROS scavenger N-2-mercaptopropionyl glycine (1 mmol/L) with spermine abolished the effect of spermine.
CONCLUSIONInhibition of mitochondrial calcium uniporter may refrain heart from hypoxia/reoxygenation injury via decreasing the production of ROS in heart mitochondria.

Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2016;47(14):2482-2487
Objective: To investigate the effects of Shenmai Injection (SMI) on activities of six isoforms of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) by Cocktail probe drugs in rats. Methods: SD rats were randomly divided into SM group and blank control group, which were given SMI (10 mL/kg) or normal saline for 7 d. Phenacetin, bupropion, tolbutamide, omeprazole, metoprolol, and midazolam were used as probe drugs for CYP1A2, CYP2B1, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4. The UPLC-MS/MS method was used to determine the concentration of probe drugs in rat plasma, and the pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated by DAS3.0. Results: Compared with the blank control group, AUC0~∞, CL, and Cmax of phenacetin, bupropion, and omeprazole were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). However, no significant difference of plasma concentration and pharmacokinetics for tolbutamide, metoprolol, and midazolam was shown between SMI group and the blank control group. Conclusion: SMI can inhibit CYPlA2, CYP2B1, and CYP2C19 activities significantly, but has no effect on the activities of CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4.

Chinese Herbal Medicines 2015;7(3):261-266
Objective: To investigate the possible protective effects of sophocarpine on mucosal injury and epithelial barrier disruption on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced acute colitis. Methods: Male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into three groups. The mice in normal group were given normal water, and those in model and sophocarpine-treated groups were given 2.5% DSS for 6 d to induce acute colitis. Sophocarpine (30 mg/kg) was ip administered once daily during the study period. Severity of colitis was evaluated by disease activity index (DAI), histological injury and inflammatory cytokine production including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). The colonic barrier disruption was assessed by testing the expression of junctional adhesion molecule-1 (JAM-1), E-cadherin (E-CAD), and desmocollin-2 (DSC-2) in colon mucosa. Expression of HNF4α in colon mucosa was detected by immunohistochemistry staining and real-time RT-PCR, respectively. Results: Compared with normal group, DAI, colonic shortening, and histopathological injury in model group were elevated (P < 0.05), but reduced in sophocarpine-treated group (P < 0.05). Compared with model group, the mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, MCP-1) were obviously lower in sophocarpine-treated group (P < 0.05), while the cellular junction proteins (E-CAD, JAM-1, and DSC-2) were higher (P < 0.05). The expression of HNF4α at mRNA and protein levels was decreased significantly in model group, but increased apparently in sophocarpine-treated group. Conclusion: Sophocarpine can enhance the expression of HNF4α, promote the expression of colonic intrecellular junctions, thus, maintain the integrity of the colonic barrier and inhibit the colitis process. We suggest that sophocarpine could enhance the production of cellular junction proteins to protect the intestinal barrier fuction, at least partly, in HNF4α-dependent pathway.
