Objective: To analysis the epidemiological characteristics of overweight and obesity among middle school students in Taizhou from 2013 to 2020, to provide support for prevention and control efforts. Methods: Through stratified sampling, one primary school, one junior middle school and one senior high school were randomly selected from nine counties (cities and districts) in Taizhou, and continuous monitoring was conducted in all participants Height, weight and other variables were assessed and body mass index was calculated. The epidemic characteristics were analyzed according to the detection rate, fixed base ratio, sequential growth ratio and average growth rate. Results: From 2013 to 2020, the overall overweight rate among primary and middle school students in Taizhou was 14.5%(36 592/252 583), and the obesity rate was 11.2%(28 256/252 583). The rates of overweight and obesity increased, with average annual growth rates of 1.9% and 5.5%, respectively; thus, the rate of obesity increased more rapidly. The obesity rate was higher among boys (13.2%) than girls (9.0%)( χ 2=1 119.57, P <0.01), and the average annual growth rate was higher among girls than boys (6.1%, 5.2%, respectively). The rate of overweight among boys (17.6%) was higher than that among girls (10.9%)( χ 2=2 307.35, P <0.01). The average annual growth rate of overweight in girls was 2.3% and 1.7%, respectively. The obesity rate among primary school students (17.5%) was higher than that among middle school (9.7%) and high school (4.9%) students( χ 2=7 291.33, P <0.01). The average annual growth rate in students in middle school was fastest, followed by those in high and primary schools (6.5%, 3.9% and 2.6%, respectively). The rate of overweight in primary school students ( 15.8 %) was higher than that in middle school students (15.3%), and both were higher than that in high school students(12.2%)( χ 2=521.06, P <0.01). The average annual growth rate was also fastest in students in middle school, followed by high and primary schools (2.4%, 2.2% and 0.6%, respectively). Conclusion The detection rate of overweight and obesity among primary and middle school students in Taizhou is high and increasing rapidly, indicating high pressure on prevention and control. Boys and primary school students are the key target groups for prevention and control. Comprehensive prevention and control strategies should be adopted specifically.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) infusion transplantation via renal artery and via caudal vein in treating chronic kidney disease (CKD) in rats,and to compare the expressions of aquaporin1 (AQP1) and aquaporin2 (AQP2) between the two transplantation routes.Methods A total of 50 male SD rats were selected for this experiment.Two experimental rats were used to make preparation of bone marrow MSC.CKD model was established with infusion of adriamycin via caudal vein in 36 rats.The 36 CKD models were randomly divided into adriamycininduced renal failure model control group (A-C group,n=12),MSC transplantation through the right renal artery group (M-A group,n=12) and MSC transplantation through the caudal vein group (M-V group,n=12).The remaining 12 male SD rats were used as the blank control group (N group).One week after the last bone marrow MSC transplantation,the 24 h urine volume,24 h urinary protein content,serum sodium content and serum albumin level were measured,and AQP1 and AQP2 expressions in the kidney tissue were determined by immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with A-C group,the serum albumin level and 24h urine volume in both M-V group and M-A group were significantly increased (P＜0.05),while 24h urinary protein content and serum sodium content were remarkably decreased (P＜0.05).The 24h urinary protein content in the M-A group was obviously lower than that in the M-V group (P＜0.05).The AQP1 and AQP2 expressions in the kidney tissue in both M-V group and M-A group were strikingly lower than those in the A-C group (P＜ 0.05),but no statistically significant differences in AQP1 and AQP2 expressions existed between the M-V group and the M-A group (P＞0.05).Conclusion MSC transplantation can increase serum albumin,and lower urinary protein,serum sodium and the expressions of AQP1 and AQP2 in renal parenchymal cells,which has the effect on repairing renal injury of adriamycin-induced CKD rats.For a given period of time,the clinical curative effect of MSC transplantation via renal artery is better than that of MSC transplantation via peripheral vein,but the difference in curative effect between the two MSC transplantation pathways has no obvious correlation with AQP1 and AQP2 expressions.

Objective:To investigate whether polyethylene glycol hydrogel films (PHFs) can be used as a carrier for the expansion of corneal epithelial cells (CECs) in vitro and whether PHFs can be used in the treatment of limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). Methods:Sebacoyl chloride, dihydroxyl PCL and glycerol ethoxylate were used to synthesize PHFs.The thickness, transmittance and mechanical tensile properties of PHFs were measured.Four clean-grade New Zealand white rabbits were selected to culture primary limbal epithelial cells.The expression of keratin marker AE1/AE3 and stem cell marker p63 in the cultured cells were observed under a fluorescence microscope.The cells were divided into negative control group cultured with common cell culture solution, positive control group cultured with cell culture solution containing 100 μmol/L H 2O 2, and PHFs+ CECs group lined with PHFs cultured with common cell culture solution for 24 hours.The proliferation and apoptosis of cells in the three groups were observed by MTT and TUNEL staining, respectively.Fifteen clean-grade New Zealand white rabbits were divided into control group, PHFs group and PHFs+ CECs group by random number table method, with 5 rabbits in each group.LSCD model was constructed in the three groups.The control group was not given any treatment after modeling.In PHFs group, empty PHFs were placed on the corneal surface of rabbits.In PHFs+ CECs group, tissue-engineered grafts constructed with CECs after passage implanted on PHFs were placed on the corneal surface of rabbits.The corneal defect area of rabbits was detected and scored by fluorescein sodium staining.The histological characteristics of rabbits corneal epithelium was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining.The use and care of animals complied with Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals by the U. S.National Research Council.The experimental protocol was approved by the Research and Clinical Trial Ethics Committee of The First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University (No.2021006). Results:The synthetic PHFs were with a thickness ≤150 μm, a tensile strength about 6 MPa, and a transmittance over than 99% in the range of 400-700 nm.Most of the cells from primary culture of limbal tissue were positive for AE1/AE3 and p63.MTT test results showed that the A490 value of PHFs+ CECs group, negative control group and positive control group was 0.59±0.01, 0.65±0.07 and 0.06±0.04, respectively, showing a statistically significant overall difference ( F=12.25, P<0.05). The A490 values of PHFs+ CECs group and negative control group were significantly higher than that of positive control group, and the differences were statistically significant (both at P<0.05). TUNEL test results showed that there was a significant difference in the TUNEL-positive cell rate among the three groups ( F=13.45, P<0.05), and the rates of TUNEL-positive cells in PHFs+ CECs group and negative control group were significantly lower than that in positive control group (both at P<0.05). Fluorescein sodium staining results showed that with the extension of postoperative period, the corneal fluorescein sodium staining score of the three groups decreased, which decreased successively in control group, PHFs group and PHFs+ CECs group.Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed fewer irregularly shaped corneal epithelial cells in the control group, and sparse single layer of corneal epithelial cells in some areas of the PHFs group.In PHFs+ CECs group, the corneal epithelium coverage was the largest, and the cell layers increased to 3-5, and the cells were with regular morphology and in close arrangement. Conclusions:PHFs have enough toughness, high transmittance and can expand corneal epithelium in vitro.PHFs are suitable for corneal epithelial transplantation and can promote the repair of corneal epithelium in rabbit model of LSCD.

Objective To study the mechanism of Sanhuang Decotion in the treatment of ulcerative colitis(UC)under Candida albicans colonization in mice based on Dectin-1-Syk-CARD9 signaling pathway.Methods Mice model of UC with fungal colonization were established with dextran sodium sulfate free drinking and C.albicans intragastric administration.Mice were divided into normal control group,model group,sulfasalazine group,fluconazole group,and Sanhuang Decotion low-and high-dosage groups,and receive corresponding drug interventions.General state of mice were observed,and the disease activity index(DAI)score of mice were calculated.The load of C.albicans in intestine was detected,the length of the colon was measured,and pathological scoring of the colon tissue was performed.The ultrastructural changes of colon epithelium were observed under transmission electron microscopy.The contents of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-12 in serum and colon tissues were detected by ELISA.The mRNA and protein expression of Dectin-1,Syk,CARD9,NF-κBp65 and inflammation factors in intestinal epithelial cells and colon tissues were detected by qPCR,Western blot and immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with the normal control group,the model group mice showed reduced activity,decreased food intake,accompanied by loose stools,significantly increased DAI score,increased load of C.albicans in the intestine,shortened colon length,and increased histopathological score,with widening of gap between colon epithelial cells,cytoplasmic dissolution,mitochondrial swelling;TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-12 in serum and colon tissue increased,the expressions of Dectin-1 and CARD9 mRNA and protein in colon epithelial cells increased,p-Syk,p-NF-κBp65,CARD9,TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6 protein expression in colon tissue increased(P<0.01,P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the Sanhuang Decotion high-dosage group mice showed a significant decrease in DAI score,decreased intestinal C.albicans load,increased colon length,decreased histopathological score,more complete and orderly arrangement of microvilli in colon epithelial cells,mild mitochondrial swelling,TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-12 in serum and colon tissue decreased,and the mRNA and protein expression of Dectin-1 and CARD9 in colon tissue increased,the expression of p-Syk,p-NF-κBp65,CARD9,TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6 protein in colon tissue decreased(P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion Sanhuang Decotion may exert an anti C.albicans colonization UC effect by inhibiting the Dectin-1-Syk-CARD9 signaling pathway and reducing the release of inflammatory factors.
