BACKGROUND: Epidermal growth factor can inhibit gastric acid secretion, promote the healing from the ulcer, protect mucous membrane, and enhance the growth and proliferation of mucous membrane cells of the gastrointestinal tract.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of epidermal growth factor at different doses on the barrier function of the intestinal mucous membrane in rats after radioactive damage.DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial.SETTING: Department of Clinical Trophology, First Affiliated Hospital and College of Public Health.MATERIALS: The experiment was completed at the Public Health Department of Xinjiang Medical University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from August 2001 to May 2003. Totally 80 newborn Wistar rats, half male and half female, were involved in the study.METHODS: Wistar rats were randomly divided into the control groups(positive and negative) and intervention groups(30 μg/kg, 20 μg/kg, 10 μg/kg) with 16 rats in each group and half male and half female. The models were made by a single radiation of 9.5Gy on the abdomen except for the negative control group. Epidermal growth factor was injected subcutaneously once per day for intervention. Eight days later, the body mass, food intake, efficiency of food utilization were observed and the morphology of the intestinal mucous membrane was checked.dermal growth factor on the increased body mass, food intake and food intake observation of the intestinal mucous membrane under the optic microscope and the electric-microscope.group of rats with epidermal growth factor of 30, 20, 10 μg/kg and the intake of the female and male rats in the group with epidermal growth factor of 30, 20, 10 μ g/kg was significantly different compared with that of the rats in the negative control group( P < 0.05), while there was no significant under the optic microscope and electric microscope showed that when epidermal growth factor was administrated, epidermal growth factor could apparently improve the intestinal mucosal barrier function with the increase of the dose, especially in the group with epidermal growth factor of 30 μ g/kg,which indicates that epithelial cells were increased obviously and cup shaped cells were also increased.CONCLUSION: Epidermal growth factor might not affect the body mass,food intake and efficiency of food intake of the rats, but large doses of epidermal growth factor can improve the morphology of the intestinal mucous membrane and promote the proliferation and repairs.

Objective:
To explore the association between dietary patterns during pregnancy and the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), so as to provide the guidance of diet balance and GDM prevention for pregnant women.
Methods:
Pregnant women who underwent prenatal examination at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from December 2021 to July 2022 were selected as the subjects. The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was employed at 24 to 28 weeks of gestation to diagnose GDM. The questionnaire of "The Survey on Nutrition and Health of Pregnant Women in China" was used to collect general information, food intake frequency and amount during a month before OGTT. Dietary patterns were determined by factor analysis, and the association between dietary patterns and the development of GDM was identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
Totally 449 pregnant women were included, with a median (interquartile range) age of 31.00 (5.00) years and a median (interquartile range) gestational age of 35.00 (3.00) weeks. There were 7 dietary patterns named potato-cereal pattern, poultry-meat-dessert pattern, milk-egg-aquatic product pattern, mushroom-vegetable-offal pattern, fruit-bean pattern, pickle-wheaten food pattern, and beverage-nut pattern according to the food types with high factor loads. There were 89 cases diagnosed as GDM, with a prevalence rate of 19.82%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the development of GDM was associated with the poultry-meat-dessert pattern (OR=0.242, 95%CI: 0.086-0.678) and the fruit-bean pattern (OR=0.093, 95%CI: 0.025-0.342), compared with the potato-cereal pattern.
Conclusion
Compared to the potato-cereal pattern, the poultry-meat-dessert pattern and the fruit-bean pattern may reduce the risk of GDM.

OBJECTIVETo study the relationship between occupational stress and psychological health state among oil workers.
METHODS1,230 oil workers in 122 work types of oil industry were selected and written occupational stress questionary(OSQ) and symptom check list (SCL-90).
RESULTSPetroleum workers' psychological health states were poor with increasing occupational stress degree. The scores in physical symptoms(1.87 +/- 0.80, 1.72 +/- 0.70), depression(1.74 +/- 0.76, 1.62 +/- 0.67), horror(1.48 +/- 0.65, 1.39 +/- 0.55) in the high and medium stress group were obviously higher than those in low stress group(1.55 +/- 0.61, 1.43 +/- 0.54, 1.28 +/- 0.46, respectively, P < 0.05). The score of mood state in the high and medium stress group was obviously higher than that in low stress group(P < 0.05). Psychological health states and mood state in the petroleum workers with short service length are significantly poorer than that with long service length(P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONOccupational stress should affect psychological health state of petroleum workers.

Objective:
To explore relationship between screen time and myopia in children aged 11-14 years in China.
Methods:
The data were extracted from "National Nutrition and Health Systematic Survey and Application for 0-18 Years Old Children". A total of 12 397 children aged 11-14 years old from 14 provinces and 28 districts/counties in seven regions of China were surveyed by using multi stage stratified random sampling method. Daily screen time and visual acuity information were collected through a questionnaire.
Results:
The myopia rate of 11-14 years old children in China was 45.0%, among which the rate of girls was higher than that of boys, and the rate of urban was higher than that of rural, and it increased with age ( χ 2=178.82,79.25, 495.96 , P <0.01). The daily screen time median of 12 397 children was 40.0 minutes, with boys(40.0 min) longer than girls( 35.0 min ) and urban children(40 min) longer than rural children(33.0 min) ( χ 2=20.86,102.68, P <0.01). The myopia rate of boys ( 42.5 %) with daily screen time greater than or equal to 60 minutes was higher than that of boys (36.4%) with daily screen time less than 60 minutes, and the myopia rate of girls (55.6%) with daily screen time greater than or equal to 60 minutes was higher than that of girls (48.0%)( χ 2=23.62,34.15, P <0.01). After adjusting for age, gender, region, time of medium and high intensity physical activity, intake of sugary food and sugary beverages, daily sleep time, multivariable Logistic regression model showed that girls with daily screen time greater than or equal to 60 minutes ( OR=1.14, 95%CI =1.03-1.27) had a higher risk of myopia than those with less than 60 minutes. After adjusting for confounding factors, there was no correlation between daily screen time and the degree of myopia in boys or girls( P >0.05).
Conclusion
Daily screen time greater than or equal to 60 minutes may be a risk factor for myopia in girls aged 11 to 14 years old. Given the complexity of the factors that affect vision, researches are needed to examine the relationship between screen time and myopia.
10.Anemia in preschool children in China and its association with neuropsychological development
Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(8):1220-1223
Objective:
To explore the relationship between anemia and neuropsychological development in various domains among preschool children in China.
Methods:
Data came from the National Nutrition and Health Systematic Survey for children in China, and 3 261 preschool children aged 2-6 years and their parents from 28 sites across 14 provinces were recruited in this study. Parental and child characteristics were obtained by interview administrated questionnaires. Blood hemoglobin(Hb) concentration was determined by Hemocue method. Neuropsychological development quotients were assessed using the Development Scale for Children Aged 0-6 Years(WS/T 580-2017).
Results:
The average Hb level was (125.23±11.49)g/L and the overall anemia prevalence was 10.30% among preschool children. After adjusting the confounding factors(sex, age, ethnicity, region, feeding mode, maternal status during pregnancy, etc), developmental quotients of gross motor( β=-2.15, 95%CI =-3.89--0.41), fine motor( β=-2.46, 95%CI =-4.12--0.79), adaptive behavior( β=-2.59, 95%CI =-4.42--0.76), language( β=-3.65, 95%CI =-5.53--1.78), personal social behavior( β=-3.11, 95%CI =-4.94--1.28) and full scale( β=-2.79, 95%CI =-4.10--1.49) among children with anemia were significantly lower than non anemic infants( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Anemia was negatively associated with developmental quotient, as well as five domains of gross motor, fine motor, adaptive behavior, language, and personal social behavior in preschool children aged 2-6 years. It is suggested to carry out the work of anemia monitoring and intervention in preschool children to further improve their neuropsychological development.
