OBJECTIVE: To establish bacterial endotoxin test for adenosine disodium triphosphate (ATP) raw material by TAL method. METHODS: The sensitivity of TAL and the limit of endotoxin were reviewed and confirmed. Preliminary interference test was used to determine the dilution ratio of samples and interference test was applied to determine maximum non-interference concentration. Bacterial endotoxin test was performed on 11 batches of samples according to the method stated in Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2005 edition). RESULTS: The sensitivity of TAL was up to the standard and the limit of endotoxin in samples were 2.0 EU?mg-1. The maximum non-interference concentration was 0.125 mg?mL-1. Results of bacterial endotoxins test of 11 batches of samples were all in line with the standard. CONCLUSIONS: It is feasible to detect the bacterial endotoxin of ATP raw material by TAL methods, which can replace pyrogen test.

Objective To determine the function and clinical significance of OMOM capsule endos-copy. Methods To review the history and outcomes of 65 patients underwent capsule endoscopy from Oct. to Dec. 2004. Results OMOM capsule endoscopy failed to pass the pylorus within the effective working time in one case. The significant pathological findings were revealed in 47 patients among 64 patients (73. 4% ). Inflammatory small bowel diseases in 21 patients including Crohn's disease in 3 patients, small intestinal pol-yps in 8 patients including one Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, angiodysplasia in 9, diverticula in 3, hookworm in 3, submucosal tumor in 3 including one myosarcoma finally diagnosed by operation. OMOM capsule endosco-pies have working time 473 min (360-630) averagely. The duration from oral to anus was 1723 min (690-2370 min) averagely. Conclusion The capsule endoscopy is a highly useful technique in detecting small in-testinal diseases. It can be recommended as part of the routine work-up in patients with obscure bleeding.

Objective To analyze the breastfeeding rate of children under two years of age in nine cities of China in 2015 and variations in breastfeeding patterns from 1985 to 2015. Methods All data were collected from a series of national cross-sectional surveys "National Growth Survey of Children under Seven Years Old in Nine Cities of China" (urban and suburban areas of Beijing, Haerbin, Xi'an, Wuhan, Nanjing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Fuzhou and Kunming) conducted from each May to October in 1985, 1995, 2005 and 2015. Stratified cluster sampling was used to select healthy children at least 150 in each subpopulation. Feeding patterns within 24 h prior to investigation were analyzed through face-to-face interviews using a self-made questionnaire. The rates of exclusive breastfeeding, mixed feeding and formula feeding were described as composition ratios. The difference between urban and suburban areas was analyzed by Chi-square test and the weaning age was calculated with a Probit model. Results (1) In 2015, the exclusive breastfeeding rate for infants under six months of age was 48.8% (9 143/18 722) in urban areas and 48.4% (8 652/17 878) in suburban areas, and the breastfeeding rates at one and two years old were 36.1% (1 351/3 746) and 5.8% (211/3 668) in urban areas and 29.9% (1 128/3 776) and 4.3% (157/3 683) in suburbs. The differences of breastfeeding patterns in ≥1-<2, ≥2-<3, ≥ 3-<4, ≥ 5-<6, ≥ 10-<12, ≥ 12-<15, ≥ 18-<21 and ≥ 21-<24 months of age were all significantly between suburbs and urban areas (χ2=8.575-36.299, all P<0.01). The age at weaning age was 9.4 months and 9.3 months in urban and suburban areas, respectively. (2) From 1985 to 2005, breastfeeding rates showed a decreasing trend, especially in suburban areas where the exclusive breastfeeding rate for infants under six months of age decreased from 60.2% (8 898/14 780) to 42.5% (6 487/15 261) and the continuous breastfeeding rate decreased from 60.1% (2 164/3 600) to 27.6% (783/2 838) at the age of one and from 8.9% (320/3 600) (in 1995) to 3.0% (85/2 850) in 2015 at the age of two. However, from 2005 to 2015, breastfeeding rates were on the rise, especially in urban areas in which the exclusive breastfeeding rate for infants under six months of age increased from 32.8% (5 176/15 782) to 48.8% (9 143/18 722) and the continuous breastfeeding rates at one and two years old respectively increased from 17.0% (499/2 940) to 36.1% (1 351/3 746) and from 1.2% (34/2 856) to 5.8% (211/3 668). Conclusions There are great changes in breastfeeding patterns for Chinese children in the nine cities from 1985 to 2015. In the first two decades, breastfeeding rates decreased and the duration of breastfeeding was shortened, while the last decade have seen increased breastfeeding rates and longer breastfeeding duration. The exclusive breastfeeding rate for infants under six months of age is similar in urban and suburban areas and both have reached about to 50% in 2015, which indicates fruitful results have achieved through the implementation of infant feeding strategies and related measures in China.

Objective:To establish the reference values and growth curves of weight/length, body mass index, and ponderal index for Chinese newborns with gestational ages of 24 to 42 weeks, in order to provide a reference for the assessment of body proportionality and nutritional status at birth.Methods:Cross-sectional study design was applied. From June 2015 to November 2018, a total of 24 375 singleton live birth newborns with gestational ages of 24 to 42 weeks from 13 cities including Beijing, Harbin, Xi′an, Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Kunming, Tianjin, Shenyang, Changsha, and Shenzhen were selected, excluding those impacting the establishment of the reference values. The generalized additive model for location, scale, and shape (GAMLSS) was employed to establish percentile (P 3, P 10, P 25, P 50, P 75, P 90, P 97) reference values and growth curves of weight/length, body mass index, and ponderal index for male and female newborns with gestational ages of 24 to 42 weeks. The established growth standards in this study were compared with the standards from the 1988 Chinese data, the INTERGROWTH project, and the USA reference values. Results:A total of 24 375 newborns with 12 264 preterm newborns (7 042 males and 5 222 females) and 12 111 full-term newborns (6 155 males and 5 956 females) were included in this study. The percentile reference values and growth curves of weight/length, body mass index, and ponderal index were obtained for male and female newborns with gestational ages of 24 to 42 weeks. Weight/length of males in all gestational ages at P 10, P 50 and P 90 was 0 to 0.2 kg/m higher than that of females, and body mass index of males in all gestational ages at the P 10, P 50 and P 90 was 0.1 to 0.3 kg/m 2 higher than that of females. The established growth curves of weight/length and body mass index at the upper percentile and ponderal index at both upper and lower percentiles were greatly different from those of the 1988 Chinese data, which, for example, reported the difference ranges at P 90 as -1.09 to 0.40 kg/m for weight/length, -1.19 to 0.92 kg/m 2 for body mass index, and -0.64 to 0.81 kg/m 3 for ponderal index. The established weight/length curves were generally consistent with the reference values from the INTERGROWTH project with a difference of -0.17 to 0.20 kg/m at P 50, while being 0.02 to 0.40 kg/m lower at P 90 and 0.13 to 0.41 kg/m higher at P 10 than that of the INTERGROWTH reference values at gestational ages of ≤32 weeks. The established body mass index curves differed from that of the USA reference values with a difference of -0.47 to 0.17 kg/m 2 at P 50, while being 0.53 to 1.10 kg/m 2 lower at gestational ages of ≥37 weeks but 0.17 to 0.45 kg/m 2 higher at gestational ages of ≤28 weeks than that of the USA reference values at P 90. Conclusion:The establishment of the new standardized growth reference values of weight/length, body mass index, and ponderal index for Chinese newborns by different gestational ages are useful for clinical practice and scientific research.

Objective:To analyze the influential factors of stunting among children under 7 years of age in nine cities of China in order to provide empirical data for early prevention and intervention for stunting.Methods:The survey was carried out with 1∶1 case-control study design in the communities and kindergartens of nine cities (Beijing, Harbin, Xi′an, Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, and Kunming) from June to November in 2016. Children of heights lower than the 3 rd percentile according to the 2009 children′s height standard in China were included as the stunting case group ( n=1 281), and those with normal height matched for geolocation, gender, and age were recruited as the control group ( n=1 281). The height and weight were measured on site, and the information related to family, perinatal status, diet and feeding, lifestyle, and medical history was collected by questionnaire. Continuous variables were compared by paired samples t test and Wilcoxon matched-pair signed ranks test, and proportions were compared by paired Chi square test. Multivariate analysis were carried out using conditional Logistic regression model. Results:Among 1 281 pairs of stunting and control group, there were 677 pairs of boys and 604 pairs of girls, with 238 pairs of children under age 3 years and 1 043 pairs of children aged 3 to 7 years. The Z scores for height and weight of stunting group were lower than that of control group (-2.27 (-2.54, -2.08) vs. -0.59 (-1.04, -0.10), -1.85 (-2.35, -1.38) vs. -0.69 (-1.20, -0.21), Z=30.982, 25.580, both P<0.01). Among family related factors, parental education level, height, weight, and height of grandparents in stunting children were all lower than those in control group (all P<0.05). Among individual related factors, proportion of preterm birth, low birth weight, shorter birth length, mother's pregnancy complications, difficulties adding milk or complementary feeding, poor appetite, slow eating, picky and partial eating, passive eating, more snack intake, shorter sleep duration, difficulty falling asleep, disturbed sleep, and recurrent infectious diseases in infant in stunting children were all higher than those in control group (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis results illustrate that the lower the parental education level and the parental height, the higher the risk of stunting. For example, the risk of stunting in children whose fathers had short stature was 6.46 times (95% CI: 2.73-15.30) of those children whose fathers′ height were medium and the risk of stunting in children whose mothers were short stature was 10.56 times (95% CI: 4.92-22.69) of those children whose mothers′ height were medium. The risks of stunting increase significantly among preterm children or those with low birth weight ( OR=2.27, 95% CI: 1.33-3.88), birth length<45 cm ( OR=3.56, 95% CI: 1.41-8.98), difficulties adding milk or complementary feeding ( OR=2.04, 95% CI: 1.32-3.15), poor appetite ( OR=3.20, 95% CI: 1.74-5.89), slow eating ( OR=1.85, 95% CI: 1.31-2.63), and food allergy ( OR=1.80, 95% CI: 1.02-3.16). Conclusion:Parental short stature, preterm birth or low birth weight, shorter birth length, feeding difficulty in infant, poor appetite, slow eating, and food allergy are the main risk factors for stunting in infants and children.
