Objective: To assess the food and nutrition literacy level of school-age children and its related factors, and to provide targets for further nutrition health education and nutrition improvement action. Methods: A total of 4 359 school-age children, from third to eighth grade in 2 middle schools and 3 primary schools of Baoding city of Hebei Province, were selected as subjects using convenient sampling method. For all participants’ food and nutrition literacy evaluation, social demographic characteristics and family food environment were investigated. Results: The average score of food and nutrition literacy of valid respondents was (61.91±9.22), and the scores of functional, interactive and critical literacy increased successively. The score of food and nutrition knowledge was higher than that of skill, and the score of "food intake" skill was the lowest(60.45±11.00). Children’s food and nutrition literacy increased with age and grade during primary school period, but the literacy of junior school students was lower than that of high-level graders in primary school(P<0.05). Children who were female, the only children, non-resident in school, urban registered permanent residence, in a more affluent family, cared by their parents/grandparents with a higher education level, and had nutrition education experience in school, had significantly higher food and nutrition literacy(P<0.05). But the interactive literacy of only children, non-resident in school and urban registered children was significantly lower(P<0.05). The family food environment was significantly correlated with children’s food and nutrition literacy. The total score of food nutrition literacy was higher for the children who often had fruits at home, rarely ate out, eating without screen, and communicated food and nutrition information with families frequently(P<0.05). Conclusion The food and nutrition literacy of school-age children is not high, which is related with individual and family’s demographic characteristic, nutrition education experience in school and family food environment. Children in rural areas and younger age, with a large number of family children and poor family economic status and food environment, should be the main target population of nutrition education and nutrition improvement.

Objective:To evaluate the one year therapeutic effect of respiratory rehabilitation in patients with chronic ob-structive pulmonary disease(COPD)and identify prognostic risk factors. Method:COPD patients,hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2017 to March 2019,were retrospectively analyzed.A total of 418 target patients,enrolled by 1∶1 propensity score matching,were divided into respiratory rehabilitation group and conventional treatment group according to whether they had received respiratory rehabilitation therapy.Among them,209 cases in respirato-ry rehabilitation group and 209 cases in conventional treatment group were compared one year after discharge.According to the occurrence of adverse prognostic events(death or aggravated hospitalization),the patients were divided into favorable prognosis group and bad prognosis group.According to the survival time＞1 year and＜1 year,the patients were divided into survival group and death group.x2 test was used for univariate analysis,and multivariate logistic regression model and multivariate cox proportional hazards regression model were used for multivariate analysis. Result:One year after discharge,respiratory rehabilitation group had fewer exacerbation hospitalizations than conventional treatment group(0.89±1.21 vs.1.23±1.18,P=0.008),fewer annual exacerbation hospitalizations(43.5％vs.61.7％,P＜0.001)and fewer annual frequent exacerbation hospitalizations(16.7％vs.28.2％,P=0.006),but no significant difference in the annual mortality between two groups(15.3％vs 13.4％,P＞0.05).There were significant differences between the poor prognosis group and the favorable prognosis group in respi-ratory rehabilitation therapy,history of aggravated hospitalization in the previous year,arterial blood carbon di-oxide level and bicarbonate level(P＜0.05).Arterial blood carbon dioxide level and venous blood hemoglobin level in the death group were significantly different from those in the survival group(P＜0.05).Multivariate lo-gistic regression analysis showed that the history of exacerbation hospitalization,no respiratory rehabilitation in the previous year,anemia and hypercapnia were independent risk factors for poor prognosis one year after dis-charge(P＜0.05).Multivariate cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that anemia and hypercapnia were independent risk factors for mortality one year after discharge(P＜0.05). Conclusion:Respiratory rehabilitation therapy extended from early hospitalization to discharge effectively re-duced the composite risk of death or re-exacerbation of hospitalization in COPD patients one year after dis-charge,which is worthy of promotion.Anemia and hypercapnia were risk factors for death one year after dis-charge,and history of previous exacerbation hospitalization was a risk factor for death or re-exacerbation hospi-talization after one year discharge.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on intestinal microbiome and organism in patients with severe pneumonia during the convalescence period. METHODS: A prospective non-randomized controlled study was conducted. From December 2021 to May 2022, patients with severe pneumonia during the convalescence period who received FMT (FMT group) and patients with severe pneumonia during the convalescence period who did not receive FMT (non-FMT group) admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University were enrolled. The differences of clinical indicators, gastrointestinal function and fecal traits between the two groups were compared 1 day before and 10 days after enrollment. The 16S rDNA gene sequencing technology was used to analyze the changes of intestinal flora diversity and different species in patients with FMT before and after enrollment, and metabolic pathways were analyzed and predicted by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database (KEGG). Pearson correlation method was used to analyze the correlation between intestinal flora and clinical indicators in FMT group. RESULTS: The level of triacylglycerol (TG) in FMT group was significantly decreased at 10 days after enrollment compared with before enrollment [mmol/L: 0.94 (0.71, 1.40) vs. 1.47 (0.78, 1.86), P < 0.05]. The level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in non-FMT group was significantly decreased at 10 days after enrollment compared with before enrollment (mmol/L: 0.68±0.27 vs. 0.80±0.31, P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in other clinical indexes, gastrointestinal function or fecal character scores between the two groups. Diversity analysis showed that the α diversity indexes of intestinal flora in FMT group at 10 days after enrollment were significantly higher than those in non-FMT group, and β diversity was also significantly different from that in non-FMT group. Differential species analysis showed that the relative abundance of Proteobacteria at the level of intestinal flora in FMT group at 10 days after enrollment was significantly lower than that in non-FMT group [8.554% (5.977%, 12.159%) vs. 19.285% (8.054%, 33.207%), P < 0.05], while the relative abundance of Fusobacteria was significantly higher than that in non-FMT group [6.801% (1.373%, 20.586%) vs. 0.003% (0%, 9.324%), P < 0.05], and the relative abundance of Butyricimonas, Fusobacterium and Bifidobacterium at the genus level of the intestinal flora was significantly higher than that in non-FMT group [Butyricimonas: 1.634% (0.813%, 2.387%) vs. 0% (0%, 0.061%), Fusobacterium: 6.801% (1.373%, 20.586%) vs. 0.002% (0%, 9.324%), Bifidobacterium: 0.037% (0%, 0.153%) vs. 0% (0%, 0%), all P < 0.05]. KEGG metabolic pathway analysis showed that the intestinal flora of FMT group was changed in bisphenol degradation, mineral absorption, phosphonate and phosphinate metabolism, cardiac muscle contraction, Parkinson disease and other metabolic pathways and diseases. Correlation analysis showed that Actinobacteria and prealbumin (PA) in intestinal flora of FMT group were significantly positively correlated (r = 0.53, P = 0.043), Bacteroidetes was positively correlated with blood urea nitrogen (BUN; r = 0.56, P = 0.029) and complement C3 (r = 0.57, P = 0.027), Firmicutes was positively correlated with BUN (r = 0.56, P = 0.029) and complement C3 (r = 0.57, P = 0.027), Fusobacteria was significantly positively correlated with immunoglobulin M (IgM; r = 0.71, P = 0.003), Proteobacteria was significantly positively correlated with procalcitonin (PCT; r = 0.63, P = 0.012) and complement C4 (r = 0.56, P = 0.030). CONCLUSIONS FMT can reduce TG level, reconstruct intestinal microecological structure, change body metabolism and function, and alleviate inflammatory response by reducing the relative abundance of harmful bacteria in patients with severe pneumonia during the convalescence period.
