Objective:
To investigate the intake of liquid dairy products and identify its influencing factors among the fourth grade students in Nanjing City.
Methods:
The fourth grade students were selected as the study subjects in Nanjing City using a multi-stage random cluster sampling method in September 2020. Their general information, frequency of liquid dairy product intake one week prior to survey and mean intake amount per time were collected. According to the 2016 Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents, weekly intake of liquid dairy products of 2 100 g and greater was defined eligible. Factors affecting the frequency and amount of liquid dairy product intake were identified using multivariable logistic regression analysis.
Results:
A total of 2 268 questionnaires were allocated and 2 216 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.71%. The respondents included 1 199 boys ( 54.11% ) and 1 017 girls ( 45.89% ). The frequency of liquid dairy product intake was (6.41±4.86) times per week, and the median intake amount was 1 250.00 g per week (interquartile range, 1 750.00 g per week). There were 607 students ( 27.39% ) consuming liquid dairy products of 2 100 g and greater a week, and 1 016 students ( 45.85% ) consumed liquid dairy products for 7 times and more a week. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that living in urban areas ( OR=1.204, 95%CI: 1.005-1.443 ), knowing nutrition labels ( OR=1.221, 95%CI: 1.021-1.460 ), periodical measurement of body weight (OR=1.486, 95%CI: 1.098-2.011) and restricted intake of sugar-containing drinks ( OR=1.264, 95%CI: 1.005-1.590 ) facilitated the intake of liquid dairy products for 7 times and more a week, and students with periodical measurement of body weight were more likely to consume liquid dairy products for 2 100 g and greater a week ( OR=1.821, 95%CI: 1.240-2.676 ).
Conclusions
Inadequate intake of liquid dairy products is found among the fourth grade students in Nanjing City. Residence, awareness of nutrition labels, periodical measurement of body weight, and parental restriction of sugar-containing drink intake affect the intake of liquid dairy products.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression of beta-dystroglycan (beta-DG) and the roles of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) on beta-DG in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC).
METHODSbeta-DG in highly lung metastatic cell line ACC-M and lowly lung metastatic one ACC-2 was tested by immunocytochemistry with different concentrations (10, 15, 20, 25 micromol x L(-1)) of TIMPs, and that without the regulation of TIMPs was served as controls. beta-DG was detected in seven specimens of SACC and ten cases of normal salivary gland tissues which were considered as a comparison group by immunohistochemistry.
RESULTSThere was no positive beta-DG immune-staining at the ACC-2 and ACC-M cell lines without TIMPs in the cell culture. beta-DG expressed after the regulation of TIMPs. beta-DG expression was localized predominantly in basement membrane of the acinus, while the negative results were distributed in the carcinoma cells and around the cancer cell nests.
CONCLUSIONBeta-DG is widely expressed by transmembrane protein that plays important roles in connecting the extracellular matrix to the cytoskeleton, the fracture of this structure means that it is easy to invade and transfer, so restoration of beta-DG expression by TIMPs is considered to be critical for successful treatment of SACC.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the efficacy and safety of colesevelam hydrochloride combined with other hypoglycemic drugs in the treatment of T2DM, and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment of T2DM. METHODS: Retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Medline, Cochrane Library, CJFD, VIP and Wanfang database during database establishement-Jul. 2019, randomized controlled trials (RCT) about the efficacy and safety of colesevelam hydrochloride combined with other hypoglycemic drugs (trial group) vs. placebo or other hypoglycemic drugs (control group) in the treatment of T2DM were collected. After extracting data from clinical studies that met the inclusion criteria, the quality of the studies was evaluated by Cochrane System Evaluator Manual 5.1.0. Meta-analysis was conducted by using Rev Man 5.3 statistical software in respects of the levels HbA1c, FPG, LDL-C, the incidence of total ADR, incidence of hypoglycemia and incidence of gastrointestinal ADR. RESULTS: A total of 11 RCTs were included, involving 2 625 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed that HbA1c levels [MD=-0.37, 95%CI(-0.51, -0.22),P<0.001], FPG level [MD=-0.47, 95%CI(-0.88, -0.07), P=0.02] and LDL-C level [MD=-0.38, 95%CI(-0.49, -0.28), P<0.001] in trial group were significantly lower than control group, with statistical significance. In terms of safety, the incidence of total ADR [OR=1.24, 95%CI(1.06, 1.45), P=0.007] and gastrointestinal ADR [OR=1.78,95%CI(1.05, 3.02),P=0.03] in trial group were significantly higher than control group, with statistical significance. There was no significant difference in the incidence of hypoglycemia [OR=1.03, 95%CI(0.62,1.72),P=0.90]. CONCLUSIONS: Colesevelam hydrochloride combined with other hypoglycemic drugs can effectively reduce the levels of HbA1c, FPG and LDL-C in T2DM patients, but attention should be paid to the occurrence of gastrointestinal ADR.

Objective:To estimate the iodine nutrition level of pregnant women and children in Xinjiang.Methods:Using cluster random sampling method, from March to September in 2018, in the whole district, county (city, district) was treated as a unit to conduct sampling; each county (city, district) was divided into five areas (east, west, south, north, middle), 40 children aged 8 - 10 and 20 pregnant women in each area were randomly selected, salt samples and urine samples were collected to measure iodine content, and B-ultrasound method was used to detect thyroid volume in children.Results:Among 94 counties (cities, districts), 18 859 salt samples were collected from children and 9 070 salt samples from pregnant women. The median salt iodine (interquartile range) for children was 26.65 (23.70, 29.80) mg/kg, and the median salt iodine (interquartile range) for pregnant women was 26.60 (23.80, 29.80) mg/kg. Totally 17 736 qualified iodized salt samples and 109 non-iodized salt samples consumed by children were tested, the coverage rate of iodized salt was 99.42% (18 750/18 859), qualified rate of iodized salt was 94.59% (17 736/18 750), the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 94.05% (17 736/18 859), and the non-iodized salt rate was 0.58% (109/18 859). Totally 8 533 qualified iodized salt samples and 57 non-iodized salt samples consumed by pregnant women were tested, the coverage rate of iodized salt was 99.37% (9 013/9 070), the qualified rate of iodized salt was 94.67% (8 533/9 013), the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 94.08% (8 533/9 070), and the non-iodized salt rate was 0.63% (57/9 070). Twelve counties (cities, districts) had a consumption rate of qualified iodized salt lower than 90% for children, and 14 counties (cities, districts) had a consumption rate of qualified iodized salt lower than 90% for pregnant women. Totally 18 862 8 - 10 years old children's urine samples were detected, median urinary iodine was 227.0 μg/L, no county (city, district) was found with median urinary iodine < 100 μg/L. A total of 9 070 pregnant women's urine samples were detected, median urinary iodine was 182.0 μg/L, and 23 counties (cities, districts) had a median urinary iodine less than 150 μg/L. B ultrasound was used to detect thyroid volume in 18 787 children aged 8 - 10 years, 231 children had goiter, and the goiter rate was 1.23%, ranged from 0 to 12.05%, and 2 counties (cities, districts) had goiter rate > 5%.Conclusions:There are still some areas in Xinjiang with the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt < 90%. Children's iodine nutrition is greater than the appropriate amount (200 - 299 μg/L), pregnant women's iodine nutrition is appropriate (150 - 249 μg/L), and children's goiter rate generally meets national elimination and control standards (< 5%). Monitoring of iodized salt should be strengthened, and iodine nutrition levels in children and pregnant women should be continuously monitored.

Objective:To understand the iodine nutritional status of pregnant women in the early, middle and late pregnancy in historical iodine deficiency areas (South Xinjiang) and non historical iodine deficiency areas (North Xinjiang) in Xinjiang, so as to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of iodine deficiency disorders in pregnant women and the formulation of appropriate prevention and control measures.Methods:From March to June 2019, using cluster yandom sampling, each county (city, district, county for short) in the whole region was divided into five sampling areas according to the east, west, south, north and middle direction. Twenty pregnant women were selected from each area, and the iodine content was determined by taking household salt samples and random urine samples.Results:A total of 9 461 salt samples were collected from pregnant women's families in 96 counties, of which 9 099 were qualified iodized salts, 22 were non iodized salts, the rate of non iodized salt was 0.23%, the coverage rate of iodized salts was 99.77% (9 439/9 461), the consumption rate of qualified iodized salts was 96.17% (9 099/9 461), and the median of salt iodine was 27.42 mg/kg. A total of 9 456 urine samples of pregnant women were tested. The median of urinary iodine was 187.30 μg/L, ranging from 0.30 to 1 300.00 μg/L. The median of urinary iodine of pregnant women in 12 counties (North Xinjiang) was < 150 μg/L. The medians of urinary iodine of pregnant women in the early, middle and late pregnancy in historical iodine deficiency areas were 215.85, 208.10 and 196.60 μg/L, respectively, while that in the non historical iodine deficiency areas were 179.10, 180.70 and 179.15 μg/L, respectively, the differences were statistically significant ( P < 0.01). There was a significant difference in the urinary iodine content of pregnant women in the early, middle and late pregnancy in historical iodine deficiency areas ( H = 8.85, P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the non historical iodine deficiency areas ( H = 0.28, P > 0.05). Conclusions:Some pregnant women in North Xinjiang are in iodine deficiency. The contents of urinary iodine in the early, middle and late pregnancy in historical iodine deficiency areas are higher than those in non historical iodine deficiency areas. The distribution of urinary iodine in the early, middle and late pregnancy of pregnant women in the historical iodine deficiency areas is different.

Objective:
To investigate the influencing factors of smoking tendency of adolescents and to analyze the influence of e-cigarette on smoking tendency of teenagers and the possible interaction, to provide evidence for tobacco control measures.
Methods:
Stratified multistage cluster probability sampling method was used to select 6 178 students from junior middle school, high school and vocational high school students in Shanghai for questionnaire survey from September to October 2019. Students with smoking tendency were taken as case group, adolescents with same sex and similar age(within 1 year) were mathed in 1∶3 ratio. A total of 631 adolescents with smoking tendency and 1 870 non-smoking tendency were included in the study. Conditional Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors and possible interactions.
Results:
After adjusting gender, age and other covariates, conditional Logistic analysis results showed that the smoking tendency of middle school students was associated with factors such as their friends smoking, trying cigarettes and trying e-cigarettes. The OR value and 95%CI were 3.26(2.47-4.29), 5.90(3.76-9.24), and 3.28(2.11-5.10), respectively. The interaction analysis results showed that the OR value and 95%CI of the multiplying interaction between friends smoking and trying e-cigarettes, trying smoking and trying e-cigarettes were 8.62(4.90-15.17) and 12.01(6.02-23.95), respectively. There was no additive interaction.
Conclusion
Tobacco control interventions, such as e-cigarette harm publicity and peer education, can help to change teenagers smoking tendency and further reduce their tobacco use rate.
