OBJECTIVE:To prepare Coenzyme Q10 long-circulating liposomes,establish the determination method of content and entrapment efficiency,and prepare it into lyophilized preparation to improve its stability. METHODS:Coenzyme Q10 long-cir-culating liposomes were prepared by film dispersion method. Particle size and Zeta potential of liposomes were determined,and HPLC assay was used to determine the content of coenzyme Q10. Free drugs and liposomes were separated using protamine aggre-gation method,and the encapsulation efficiency was calculated. Lyophilized preparation was prepared by coenzyme Q10 long-circu-lating liposomes,and the changes of content and encapsulation efficiency of drugs were determined 0,30 and 90 days after lyophi-lization. RESULTS:The liposomes were homogeneous in size with mean diameter of(166.0±5.3)nm and Zeta potential of(-22.2± 1.4)mV. Average content(the percentage of content accounted for labeled amount)and entrapment efficiency of 3 batches of sam-ple were 98.2%(RSD=2.8%) and 93.2%(RSD=4.6%),respectively. Compared with 0 d after lyophilization,coenzyme Q10 long-circulating liposomes had no obvious change in the content and encapsulation efficiency 90 d after lyophilization. CONCLU-SIONS:Coenzyme Q10 long-circulating liposomes with high quality and entrapment efficiency and lyophilized preparation being stored stably for 90 d have been prepared successfully.

Methods From August 2012 to June 2014,46 patients(58 limbs)with femoropopliteal occlusive diseases in the treatment by SilverHawk directional atherectomy device were analyzed retrospectively . The mean lesion length and degree of diameter stenosisin the femoropopliteal stenoses(52 limbs) were (4.6 ± 2.3) cm and (85.6 ± 11.3)%.The mean lesion length in the femoropopliteal occlusions(6 limbs)was(6.3 ± 3.2)cm. Rutherford score was 3 ~ 5. Mean ABI was 0.45 ± 0.36. Patency was evaluated with color duplex sonography,CTA and DSA postoperatively. Results 46 patients(58 limbs)were recanalizated suc-cessfully via intraluminal approach. The overall technical success rate was 100%. The procedural success rate was 93.10%. Postoperative residual stenosis and ABI were(10.3 ± 6.2)%and 1.05 ± 0.32,which had statistical diff erence compared with preoperative(t=5.83,P=0.02). The average period of follow-up was 22 months. Mean ABI during the follow-up was 0.96 ± 0.15,which had statistical difference compared with preoperative(t = 5.09,P =0.03). The 6-month and 1-and 2-year primary patency rate was 94.83%、91.38%、84.48%,and secondary patency rate was 98.28%、96.55%、93.10%,respectively. Conclusion SilverHawk directional atherectomy device is safe and effective in treament offemoropopliteal occlusive disease ,with satisfactory early-middle results.
4.Progress in research on health literate schools
Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(3):448-451
Abstract
Health literate schools (HeLit-Schools) play a significant role in fostering students health literacy. The paper elucidates the background and conceptual connotations of HeLit-Schools, and analyzes how HeLit-Schools effectively integrate and enhance the health literacy of schools in three aspects: philosophy and core drivers, strategy and method implementation, as well as evaluation mechanisms and standard setting. Furthermore, the paper explores the implications of foreign HeLit-Schools research and practice for China under the context of "Healthy China" construction, as well as the key strategies for Chinese schools in the implementation of HeLit-Schools, aiming to provide a new perspective and theoretical support for Chinese schools to practice the "Healthy China initiative" and strengthen school construction from the perspective of health literacy.

Abstract
As dietary issues of children and adolescents become increasingly complex, the assessment of food literacy (FL) is increasingly importance. FL involves a comprehensive cognition and practical ability concerning food among children, playing a key role in fostering healthy eating habits and improving health levels. The article explores the definition and connotations of FL, and introduces eight FL assessment tools in terms of theoretical foundations, dimensions, assessment methods, and their reliability and validity. Moreover, it provides a comparative analysis of these tools by examining their dimensional design, evaluation indicators, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as their applicable subjects and scenarios, aiming to offer references for implementing relevant policies and developing more comprehensive and effective FL assessment tools.

Objective To compare the hemostatic safety and efficacy of a new butterfly femoral artery compression device (FACD) with those of manual compression (MC) in patients undergoing percutaneous peripheral endovascular interventions via femoral artery. Methods A total of 283 patients, who received percutaneous endovascular interventions via femoral artery during the period from September 2016 to December 2017, were enrolled in this study. After endovascular intervention, 167 patients received FACD to make hemostasis (FACD group), and 116 patients received MC hemostasis (MC group) . The patient's comfortableness, time used for hemostasis (min), limb immobilization time (h), and the incidence of vascular complications in both groups were analyzed. Results All 283 patients were included in analysis, the results indicated that the hemostatic success rates in FACD group and MC group were 96.4% (161/167) and 94.0% (109/116) respectively, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05) . The postoperative Kolcaba Comfort Scale score of FACD group was (85.0 ±11.2) points, which was remarkably higher than (58.4±11.7) points of MC group (P<0.05), the time used for hemostasis in FACD group was (9.2 ±2.2) min, which was strikingly shorter than (18.5 ±2.9) min in MC group (P <0.05) . The limb immobilization time in FACD group was (10.4±2.4) hours, which was obviously shorter than (23.1±4.1) hours in MC group (P <0.05) . The incidence of vascular complications in FACD group was 3.6%, which was dramatically lower than 9.5% in MC group (χ2=4.206, P=0.04) . Conclusion The use of the new butterfly FACD can promptly, safely and effectively stop bleeding of femoral artery puncture site. The new butterfly FACD is superior to MC in shortening hemostatic time and limb immobilization time, in reducing incidence of vascular complications, as well as in improving patient's comfortableness degree.

Heat stress refers to a series of stress reactions such as heat balance disturbance and physiological dysfunction when the body is exposed to the thermal environment for a long time. Studies have found that heat stress can damage intestinal morphology, such as length of intestinal villi, number of goblet cells, and depth of the crypt, affecting the digestion and absorption functions. It also can increase the permeability of the intestinal barrier by damaging the tight junction of the intestinal epithelium, which in turn allows endotoxin and bacteria to enter the blood circulation from the intestinal cavity to cause a systemic inflammatory response. At the same time, heat stress can disrupt the homeostasis of intestinal microbiota, increase pathogenic bacteria, and change downstream metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids. In addition, heat stress can inhibit the occurrence of hippocampal neurons and reduce the number of neurons; decrease the density of synapses; damage important organelles of neurons; induce inflammation of the central nervous system, and then lead to cognitive dysfunction. The brain-gut axis is a two-way signal axis between the intestine and the brain. Intestinal microorganisms and the intestinal barrier can participate in central nervous system regulation, and the brain can change the intestinal homeostatic function and affect the quality of the intestinal barrier through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis). The interaction plays an essential role in the body's homeostasis. Therefore, this article reviewed current understandings on the impacts of heat stress on the gut and cognitive function, aiming to provide a reference for subsequent research.
