Objective To master the current status of iodine nutrition of people in Nanjing after the adjustment of iodized salt standard,and to provide scientific basis for reasonable iodine supplementation and strategies for iodine nutrition control.Methods The probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling method was employed in the investigation.We firstly selected 30 streets in the whole city,and then chosen 50 children aged 8-10 years from each of 30 primary schools respectively,which was selected from 30 different streets to examine the size of thyroid gland by palpation and B-type ultrasound.We also collected urine and edible salt samples from 12 children aged 8-10 years from each primary school,to detect their urinary and salt iodine content.Moreover,20 pregnant women and 10 lactating women were picked out from each of 30 schools nearby to detect their urinary and salt iodine content.We also conducted a unique questionnaire survey in 30 fifth-grade students selected from each of 30 schools,and 5 housewives selected from these schools nearby to understand their knowledge of iodine deficiency disorders.Results The thyroid palpate swelling rate was 0.33%(5/1 500) in 1 500 children aged 8-10.The medians of urinary iodine level were 220.5 μg/L in 362 school-age children,196.7 μg/L in 600 pregnant women and 152.0 μg/L in 300 lactating women.A total of 1 260 samples of edible salt were tested.The coverage rate of iodized salt and the consumption rate of eligible iodized salt were 99.7% (1 256/1 260) and 96.9% (1 221/1 260),respectively.The mean iodine content of edible salt was (24.5 ± 4.5) mg/kg.A total of 900 fifth-grade students and 150 housewives were surveyed for health knowledge of iodine,and the eligible rate was 83.2% (2 246/2 700) and 91.6% (412/450),respectively.Conclusions After the adjustment of iodized salt content,iodine nutrition level of people in Nanjing has maintained appropriately.However,health education should be further strengthened.Improving the awareness rate of iodine deficiency knowledge,and guiding scientific iodine consciousness are our serious task in the future.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Danning Tablet (DNT) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) of damp-heat syndrome type. METHODS: A multicenter, randomized, double-blinded and positive drug parallel controlled trial was performed. One hundred and thirty-five patients were enrolled into the study and divided into two groups: DNT-treated group (n=102) and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)-treated group (n=33). Body mass index (BMI), principal symptoms, liver function, blood lipids, iconographic, and compositional parameters were measured before and after treatment, respectively. RESULTS: In the two groups, BMI, distress in hepatic region, fatigue, anorexia, liver function, blood lipids and iconographic parameters were significantly improved, and the improvements of BMI, distress in hepatic region were better in DNT-treated group than in UDCA-treated group. The histological study also showed that DNT had positive effect in treatment of NAFLD. CONCLUSION: DNT is an effective drug to treat patients with NAFLD of damp-heat syndrome type and is more effective than UDCA.

Aim Toexaminethecombinedeffectsof 5-ALA and metformin on diabetes mellitus induced by streptozotocin( STZ) in mice, and to discuss the mech-anisminitially.Methods Thediabeticmiceinduced by intraperitoneal injection of STZ were treated with 5-ALA and/or metformin for 30 days. Physical signs, fasting blood glucose ( FBG ) , fasting plasma insulin ( FIns) , plasma leptin ( Lep) , glucose tolerance, and histological changes of liver and pancreas were as-sessed. Insulin resistance was evaluated by the homeo-stasismodelassessment(HOMA).Results There were more significant effects when 5-ALA combined with metformin than only using metformin on lowering FBG, FIns and Lep. And 5-ALA combined with met-formin could improve glucose tolerance and the insulin sensitivity. Microscopic analysis demonstrated that sig-nificant changes in pancreatic islet and characteristic feature of the vacuolization phenotype in liver was ob-served on diabetic mice, and use of 5-ALA could in-hibit shrinking pancreatic islet number and hepatic morphological changes, especially in combination with metformin.Conclusions Asynergisticeffectof5-ALA and metformin is observed. Combined therapy of 5-ALA and metformin can decrease FBG and improve glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity and islet ? cells function and morphology.

Objective:To analysis and compare the burden of ischemic heart disease (IHD) attributable to metabolic risks in population aged 25 years and older in 2011 and 2017 in Nanjing.Methods:The data were extracted from the Nanjing Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance (2011 and 2017), the Nanjing Mortality Surveillance (2011 and 2017) and the 2016 Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD). Using GBD′s Comparative Risk Assessment Theory, the attribution burden was estimated by comparing the observed health outcomes with the health outcomes that may be observed when exposed to counterfactual levels. Based on population attributable fractions, the deaths and life expectancy losses of ischemic heart disease due to high systolic blood pressure (SBP), high fasting plasma glucose (FPG), high total cholesterol (TC), high body mass index (BMI) and combination of four risks were estimated in 2011 and 2017. The average population structure of the world′s population from 2000 to 2025 wasusedas the standard population for standardization.Results:The number of IHD deaths attributable to four metabolic risks combination was 3 204, andwhich resulted in a loss of life expectancy of 0.90 years in 2017. High SBP appeared as the major cause of IHD deaths and Years of Life Lost (YLL). In 2017, the world standardized mortality rate (25.60×10 -5, 19.94×10 -5 and 6.83×10 -5) and the standardized YLL rate (389.31×10 -5, 335.16×10 -5, 134.60×10 -5) of the population due to high systolic blood pressure, high total cholesterol and high body mass index were significantly lower than those in 2011 (31.75×10 -5, 26.74×10 -5, 7.45×10 -5 and 469.07×10 -5, 463.70×10 -5, 142.66×10 -5); the world standardized rate and the standardized YLL rate due to high blood sugar (11.90×10 -5 and 174.61×10 -5) were significantly higher than those in 2011 (9.67×10 -5 and 150.61×10 -5) (all P<0.05). Males appeared to have higher standardized rate of YLL of IHD deaths than females, due to having metabolism risks( P<0.05). Conclusion:Metabolic exposures especially high SBP are the important risk factors whichleadto IHD deaths in Nanjing.

【Objective】 To investigate the molecular mechanism of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) TDRG1 in facilitating the malignant progression and poor prognosis of patients with cervical cancer. 【Methods】 Cervical cancer cell lines and normal cervical cell Ect1/E6E7 were collected. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of TDRG1. Cervical cancer cell lines were transfected with TDRG1-siRNA, and the proliferation of cancer cells was detected by CCK-8 method and cell plate cloning experiment. The invasion and migration of cancer cells were measured by Transwell experiment. The apoptosis of cancer cells was examined by flow cytometry, and the expressions of relevant proteins were tested by Western blot. 【Results】 Compared with Ect1/E6E7, cervical cancer cell lines showed relatively increased expression of TDRG1. Downregulation of TDRG1 expression inhibited the proliferation and colony formation (162±21 vs. 411±33, P<0.05), as well as the invasion and migration (invasion: 86±13 vs. 315±38, P<0.01; migration: 177±22 vs. 406±41, P<0.01) of Hela cells. Meanwhile, the apoptosis of Hela cells increased [(28±1.5)% vs. (16±1.2)%, P<0.05] and the expression of Bcl-2 protein reduced. In addition, TDRG1 knockdown also decreased the activity of autophagy in Hela cells. 【Conclusion】 TDRG1 facilitates the malignant biological progression of cervical cancer by inhibiting the apoptosis and providing a protective autophagy in cervical cells.
