AIM: To detect the total amount of heavy metals and the content of Pb,Cd,Hg in Yuanhuzhitong Tablets (Rhizoua Corydalis. Radix Angelicae Dahuricae). METHODS:The method of detecting the total amount of heavy metals in Volume 1 of 2000 China Pharmacopoeia and the methods of analyzing the content of Pb,Cd,Hg in Import and Export Agriculture Standard of Medical Plants and Pharmacentical issued by Economic Cooperation Department of Import and Export Bureau were discussed. RESULTS : The total amount of heavy metals is in the limit of the standard and amount of Pb、Cd、Hg is overproof to varying degrees. CONCLUSION :Because the standard of total heavy metals can not quarantee the quality of Chinese drugs,so we should establish available method to limit the amount of poisonous elements Pb、Cd、Hg.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of hyperuricemia in health check-up population of Beijing suburb.Methods Total 1 336 rural residents in Nankou Township of Beijing received health check-up from July to Aug 2014,including 686 subjects aged 20-59 years (young/middle-aged group) and 650 subjects aged 60-96 years (elderly group).The blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) were measured;serum uric acid (SUA),fasting blood glucose (FBG) and blood lipids (TG,TC,HDL-C,LDL-C) were determined.The SUA levels ＞ 420 μmol/L for male and ＞ 360 μmol/L for female were defined as hyperuricemia.Results The four quartiles of SUA levels were 27.00-254.59 μmol/L (Q1),254.60-302.35 μmol/L (Q2),302.36-359.78 μmol/L(Q3) and 359.79-702.0 μmol/L (Q4).The prevalence of hyperuricemia was significantly higher in young/middle-aged group than that in elderly group [20.41％ (140/686) vs.13.85％ (90/650),x2 =10.08,P =0.001 5],the systolic blood pressure [SBP,(126.8±15.7) vs.(116.7±12.0)mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa),t=2.76,P=0.008],FBG [(7.40±4.10) vs.(6.11 ±2.03)mmol/L,t=2.12,P=0.036],TC [(5.52±1.10) vs.(5.23±1.00)mmol/L,t =2.04,P =0.045],LDL-C [(3.5 ±0.7) vs.(2.4 ±0.9)mmol/L,t =2.21,P =0.029]in young/middle-aged group were significantly higher than those in elderly group.BMI,FBG were significantly higher in Q4 than those in other quartiles [BMI:(26.44 ± 3.88) vs.(24.19 ± 3.37),(25.49±3.42) and (25.61 ±3.49)kg/m2,t =2.78,P=0.008;FBG:(8.19 ±1.52) vs.(6.34±1.34),(6.09 ± 1.51) and (6.40 ± 1.98) mmol/L,t =2.80,P =0.007].The triglyceride (TG) levels in group Q3 and Q4 [(1.85 ± 0.90) and (1.92 ± 0.44) mmol/L] were higher than those in Q1 and Q2 [(1.37 ±0.76) and (1.70 ±0.84) mmol/L,t =2.1,P =0.035].Only 9.57％ subjects (22/230)with hyperuricemia was not combined with metabolic disorder;subjects combined with one and two metabolic disorders accounted for 20.87％ (48/230) and 69.57％ (160/230),respectively.Conclusion Screening for hyperuricemia is important for comprehensiye treatment and management of hyperuricemia in rural residents,especially in the young and middle-aged population.

Objective To apply the Comprehensive Function Assessment for Disabled Children in family care for children with cerebral palsy. Methods From May, 2014 to May, 2015, 120 cerebral palsy children were equally divided into control group and observation group. The control group accepted routine rehabilitation, and the observation group accepted targeted family rehabilitation program based on the evaluation of Comprehensive Function Assessment for Disabled Children. They were assessed with Comprehensive Function Assessment for Disabled Children before and three months after rehabilitation. Results The scores of cognitive function, language function, exercise abil-ity, self-care movement and social adaptation ability improved in both groups after rehabilitation (t>2.498, P<0.05), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (t>2.062, P<0.05). Conclusion The application of Comprehensive Function Assessment for Disabled Children may help to plan a targeted rehabilitation nursing program for the nurses and the parents, that benefits the rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy.

Objective To explore the influences of proliferation and differentiation of preadipocytes on high fat diet-induced obesity and obesity prevention through exercises in rats.Methods Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into a normal diet control group (C,n=8),a normal diet with exercises group (E,n=8),a high fat diet control group (H,n=14) and a high fat diet with exercises group (HE,n=10).Group C and group H kept sedentary,while group E and group HE underwent treadmill exercises at about 75％VO2max level.After 12 weeks of intervention,the body weight,epididymal,perirenal and retroperitoneal fat mass were recorded,and the total fat mass was determinated.Stereology method was used to calculate the number and average diameter of fat cells.Western Blotting was conducted to measure the expression of PPARγ and C/EBPα protein in adipose tissues.Results (1) The body weight and total fat mass of group H were significantly higher than those of group C (P＜0.01).Perirenal,retroperitoneal fat and total fat mass of group E and HE were significantly lower than those of group C and H respectively (P＜0.01).(2) The total fat cell number of group H was significantly higher than that of group C.The average diameter of fat cells in perirenal and retroperitoneal fat pads of group E were significantly lower than that of group C (P＜0.05,P＜0.01),while that of group HE in epididymal,perirenal and retroperitoneal fat pads was significantly lower than that of group H (P＜0.01).(3) Compared with group C,the expression of PPARγ protein of group E and H increased significantly in epididymal,perirenal and retroperitoneal fat pads (P＜0.01).The expression of C/EBPα protein of group H was significantly higher than that of group C in epididymal and perirenal fat pads (P＜0.01),the expression of C/EBPα protein of group E was significantly higher than that of group C in perirenal and retroperitoneal fat pads (P＜0.01),while the expression of C/EBPα protein of group HE was significantly lower than that of group H in perirenal fat pads(P＜0.01).Conclusion The proliferation and differentiation of preadipocyte was enhanced in the development of high fat diet induced obesity and exercises to prevent obesity,but its role and mechanisms were different.The high fat diet increases the number of fat cells which is a compensatory mechanism for the body to adapt to fat accumulation,while exercises might promote cell renewal and decrease the average size of fat cells which is an adaptive mechanism to improve fat storage.

Abstract The study elaborates on the historical development of the home-school-community partnership in the United States, as well as physical activity strategies to prevent overweight and obesity in school age children. Feasible suggestions are proposed for implementing the home-school-community collaboration in China. The finding suggests that in addition to cooperation with schools, families and communities need to take initiatives to actively support children s participation in various physical activities and provide facilities and guarantees. Schools should also do a top level design that links with families and communities, and incorporate their participation into long term physical education planning, making them an integral part of a closely interconnected collaborative network to further prevent overweight and obesity in school age children.

Objective: To identify the social ecological factors of individual, family, and physical environments for affecting the development of fundamental motor skills (FMS) among overweight and obese children, so as to provide a basis for the future intervention design and policy making. Methods: From March to April 2022, one public primary school was recruited from each of the 4 main urban areas in Shijiazhuang, and a total of 425 children in schools were recruited for data collection including individual, family, physical environmental factors, by using a stratified cluster random sampling approach. Test of Gross Motor Development-Third Edition (TGMD-3) was used to evaluate children s FMS. Hierarchical linear regression model was employed to analysis the associations between the 18 factors for individual, family, and physical environments, and the FMS of overweight and obese children. Results: Individual level including the child s age, gender and sleep duration, and family level including high family economic level, parental support for physical activity, and the physical activity environment surrounding the family and community were consistent predictors of movement skills ( B =0.422, -1.972, 0.014, 0.045, 1.042, 0.827, 1.898), ball skills ( B =0.858, 3.953, 0.013, 0.092, 2.141, 1.173, 1.954), and composite skills ( B =1.305, 1.915, 0.028, 0.142, 3.091, 1.962, 3.879) among overweight and obese children ( P <0.05). Furthermore, child s body mass index (BMI), moderate to vigorous physical activity, perceived motor competence, pleasure of exercise,as well as BMI and physical activity levels of their primary caregiver, were associated with different types of FMS ( P <0.05). Individual, family, and physical environmental factors had moderate to high predictive explanatory power for FMS among overweight and obese children ( 2=0.69, 0.75, 0.93, P <0.01). Conclusions The factors influencing the development of FMS in overweight and obese children are multifaceted, with individual, family, and physical environment factors all playing significant roles.Corresponding measures should be actively taken to improve FMS in overweight and obese children.

We report on two cases of type C insulin resistance syndrome(TCIRS) admitted to the Department of Endocrinology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2000 to December 2020. Both patients presented with persistent hyperglycemia, low immunoreactive insulin, extreme insulin resistance, high insulin autoantibodies, high total insulin, and large insulin antibody pool. TCIRS is marked by extreme insulin resistance with ketoacidosis and respond to medium to high doses glucocorticoids rather than plasmapheresis.
