A nutrition survey, covering a total of 4801 preschool children in 6 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, has been carried out. The objective was to determine the effects of various dietary patterns on the blood hemoglobin, free erythrocyte proporphyrin, and serum ferritin values. The results indicated a high prevalence of iron deficiency (average 51.9%). Iron deficiency anemia was detected in 16.4% of the children examined and the incidence rate was particularly high among infants at the age group of 6 months and one year, which was 28.7% and 22.9% respectively. The dietary patterns were different in the above geographic areas. The results of dietary survey revealed that a low incidence of iron deficiency was found in those children who consumed more animal food and protein.

Aim To investigate the effects of isoliquiri-tigenin ( ISL) on anti-angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo and its mechanisms. Methods We assessed the antiangiogenic activities of ISL on proliferation viabili-ty, migration and tube formation of human microvascu-lar endothelial cell line-1 (HMEC-1) in vitro. The cell proliferation viability was assessed using the Sulforho-damine B ( SRB ) assay. Modified Boyden Transwell chamber assay was done to study the effect of ISL on HMEC-1 cells migration. 2′, 7′-dichlorofluorescein di-acetate ( DCFH-DA) was used to measure the levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) , which was induced by VEGF. Metalloproteinase-2 ( MMP-2 ) and metalloproteinase-9 ( MMP-9 ) expressions by HMEC-1 cells were assessed through gelatin zymogra-phy assay. HMEC-1 cells cycle was detected by flow cytometry. Moreover, we investigated the in vivo anti-angiogenic activity of ISL on chicken embryos nap al-lantoic membrane model ( CAM ) . Results ISL con-centration-dependently inhibited the growth of HMEC-1 cells as well as SW620 and A549 cells. ISL signifi-cantly and concentration-dependently suppressed the migration activity of HMEC-1 cells. Tube sample struc-ture formation further confirmed the effect of ISL on an-ti-angiogenesis. Moreover, ISL also inhibited intracel-lular ROS level, MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression by HMEC-1 cells. ISL induced endothelial cell apoptosis at a low concentration ( ISL 12 . 5 μmol · L-1 ) and blocked the cells in S phase of mitosis at higher con-centrations ( ISL 25~100 μmol·L-1 ) . Furthermore, ISL distinctly inhibited the angiogenesis of chick em-bryos in vivo. Conclusions ISL has anti-tumor and angiogenesis effects on HMEC-1 cells. The mechanism may be related to intracellular ROS scavenging and ap-optosis induction of HMEC-1 cells.

Objective To investigate the miRNA expression profiles in rectal cancer tissues and their associations with clinical pathological stage, depth of tumor invasion, and lymph node metastasis, and to evaluate the potential of miRNA as diagnostic and prognostic markers of rectal cancer. Methods Human miRNA microarray was used to profile miRNA expression in rectal cancer tissues and matched adjacent normal tissues (n=71). The up-regulated miR-93-5p and down-regulated miR-27a-3p were screened out, and the top differentially expressed miRNA were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction ( qRT-PCR) . The relationship between the expression of miRNA and clinical parameters was analyzed by ANOVA and Spearman correlation. Results The expression of miR-27a-3p was down-regulated in miRNA microarray, but was up-regulated in qRT-PCR analysis;the data were relatively discrete. The expression of miR-93-5p was up-regulated in both miRNA microarray and qRT-PCR analysis;the expression level of miR-93-5p in rectal cancer tissues was 3165 times that in adjacent normal tissues ( P=00058);the expression level was correlated with tumor volume ( P= 0004 ) , and was positively correlated with the level of carcinoembryonic antigen ( CEA) before treatment ( P=0001) and the number of lymph nodes metastases (rs=0534, P=0005). Conclusions There is a differential miRNA expression pattern between rectal cancer tissues and matched adjacent normal tissues. The miR-93-5p is highly up-regulated in rectal cancer tissues and may serve as a diagnostic and prognostic marker of rectal cancer.
