Objective:By exploring the source of children's total fluoride intake and the relationship between children's total fluoride intake and dental fluorosis prevalence, to calculate the benchmark dose (BMD) of children's total fluoride intake and its 95% confidence lower limit (BMDL), and to provide the basis for revision of "Total Fluoride Intake for Inhabitants" (WS/T 87-2016).Methods:The villages that had water improvement for 5 years and more in 6 provinces of Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei, Anhui, Henan and Shaanxi were selected as survey sites in April 2014. The water fluoride content of these villages was 0.3 - 3.0 mg/L, tap water samples from the centralized water supply were collected, and fluoride content was detected by ion selective electrode method. Children aged 8 to 12 years were selected, children's dental fluorosis was checked by Dean's method. Children's dietary and drinking water volume were surveyed by duplicate portion study (measurement for 3 d), and dietary fluoride content was detected according to the "Method for Determination of Fluorine in Foods". The mean and standard deviation of drinking water fluoride intake, dietary fluoride intake, and total fluoride intake were measured. According to the dose-response relationship between children's total fluoride intake and the detection rate of dental fluorosis, BMD and BMDL were calculated, and the reference dose (RfD) was calculated based on BMDL.Results:The mean of water fluoride of all 29 villages was 1.26 mg/L (from 0.41 to 2.85 mg/L). Totally 3 043 children aged 8 to 12 years were checked, and the detection rate of dental fluorosis was 30.2% (919/3 034). The lowest detection rate of dental fluorosis was 2.0% (2/100) and the highest was 71.4% (30/42) in the 29 villages. The children's dietary and drinking water volume of 769 person-time aged 8 to 12 years were surveyed, the children's daily drinking water fluoride intake, dietary fluoride intake, and total fluoride intake were (0.83 ± 0.66), (1.13 ± 0.61) and (1.96 ± 0.89) mg/d, respectively. The BMD of children's daily total fluoride intake was 2.43 mg, the BMDL was 2.21 mg, and the RfD was 2.21 mg.Conclusion:The BMD of 8 to 12 years old children's daily total fluoride intake is the same as the allowable limit (2.4 mg) of the national standard "Total Fluoride Intake for Inhabitants" (WS/T 87-2016).

The growth curves and diet of 185 babies in rural area near Beijing from 6 months to 18 months old have been studied. Infants were divided into 3 groups according to their diet taken:(1) 89 babies had breast milk only;(2) 66 babies took more than 250g animal milk per day besides breast milk;(3) 30 babies who did not have breast milk and only animal milk was taken. All the babies were gradually transferred to an ordinary cereal based diet during the weaning period. To half of them a soybean and cereal based formula fortified with minerals and vitamins was supplied, which would provide 6.6g protein and 141 kcal and some other nutrients per day.The results showed that the growth curves of body weight and height of children were much better than the data obtained in 1975, but still lagged behind that of the urban children, especially for the body weight. The weight curves of the babies who took animal milk seemed higher than the other groups. Female babies who were fed with breast milk and supplemented with the weaning food have a better weight and height curves than non-supplemented ones, but this was not seen in males. The hemoglobin contents of the babies who took animal milk when they were 18 months old were lower than that of the 6 months old, but there were no differences in the breast milk groups, and the lowering of the hemoglobin level in the animal milk groups could be corrected by adding weaning food in the diet. When the babies were 6 months old, 39.3% of them had a hair zinc content below the lower limit of the normal range, and it became to 47.6% when they were 18 months old. So zinc deficiency of the babies were present in this local area, and it should be fortified into the weaning food.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic basis for a Chinese pedigree affected with genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+).
METHODS:
Clinical data of the proband and his family members were collected. Following extraction of genomic DNA, the proband was subjected to high-throughput sequencing. Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing of the proband and other family members.
RESULTS:
The pedigree, including 6 patients with febrile seizures from 3 generations, was diagnosed with typical GEFS+. Among them, 2 had febrile seizures (FS), 1 had febrile seizures plus (FS+), and 3 had febrile seizures with focal seizures. High-throughput sequencing revealed that the proband has carried a heterozygous missense variant of c.4522T>A (p.Tyr1508Asn) of the SCN1A gene. Sanger sequencing confirmed that other five patients and one normal member from the pedigree have also carried the same variant, which yielded a penetrance of 85.7%.
CONCLUSION
The c.4522T>A (p.Tyr1508Asn) of the SCN1A gene probably underlay the disease in this pedigree. The pattern of inheritance was consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance. Above finding has enriched the variant spectrum of the SCN1A gene.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effects of κ-opioid receptor agonist U50, 488H on myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury and related mechanism.
METHODSRats were randomly divided into sham operation, myocardial ischemia and reperfusion(I/R, 30 min ischemia followed by 120 min reperfusion), and MI/R+U50, 488H (1.5 mg/kg) and I/R+U50, 488H+ selective κ-opioid receptor antagonist Nor-BNI (2 mg/kg, n = 8 each). The infarction size and the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias were observed.Real-time PCR and DAB staining were used to define the myocardium Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) expression. Myeloperoxidase level, TNF-α induction and the expression of NF-κB were also examined in rats.
RESULTSAfter I/R, the expressions of myocardial TLR4 and NF-κB increased significantly both in ischemia area and area at risk. Compared with I/R, κ-opioid receptor stimulation with U50, 488H significantly attenuated the expressions of TLR4 and NF-κB and reduced myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels, myocardial TNF-α production, myocardial infarct sizes and the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias and arrhythmia score (2.9 ± 0.7 vs. 4.4 ± 0.9, P < 0.05) , above effects of U50, 488H were partly abolished by co-treatment with Nor-BNI.
CONCLUSIONThese data provide evidence for the first time that κ-opioid receptor stimulation could attenuate myocardial I/R injury via downregulating TLR4/NF-κB signaling in rats.

Objective:
To analyze the status of dietary sodium intake of Chinese adult residents in fifteen provinces in 2015.
Methods:
Data were collected from 2015 China Nutrition Transition Cohort Study. This cohort study used a three consecutive 24-h retrospective method to record food intake and weighing method to record household condiment consumption. In this study, 14 847 residents aged 18 years and over with complete data from 15 provinces in 2015 were selected for the comparison of dietary sodium intake (median) with different characteristics.
Results:
Among the 14 847 residents, 47.1% were males, and the rural and northern residents accounted for 60.1% and 37.7%, respectively. Median sodium intake was 3 960.0 mg/d among residents in 2015. The sodium intake of males (4 272.1 mg/d) was higher than that of females (3 716.6 mg/d). Across age subgroups, sodium intake was highest among residents aged 45-59 years (4 257.0 mg/d; 18-44 years old, 3 867.1 mg/d; ≥60 years old, 3 799.0 mg/d). Sodium intake was higher in rural area (4 042.9 mg/d) than in urban area (3 866.8 mg/d), higher in north (4 229.2 mg/d) than in south (3 806.8 mg/d) (all

Objective:To summarize the clinical and genetic characteristics of children with epilepsy associated with SCN2A gene variations. Methods:A retrospective study was performed. Eleven children with epilepsy admitted to Department of Pediatric Neurology, Linyi People's Hospital from January 2017 to December 2022 were included; all of them had pathogenic SCN2A gene mutation. Genetic results and clinical data as epileptic seizure type/frequency, intelligence and motor development of these 11 children were collected. Epilepsy-related variations and pathogenesis of SCN2A gene were analyzed, and their correlations with clinical phenotypes in these children were analyzed. Results:Among the 11 patients, 6 had self-limited epilepsy (4 with variation in the intracellular domain and 2 in the transmembrane domain), 1 had febrile convulsion accompanied by childhood absent epilepsy (with variation in the intracellular domain), and 4 had developmental epileptic encephalopathy (2 with variation in the extracellular domain and 2 with variation in the transmembrane domain). SCN2A gene was missense mutation in these 11 children, and the mutation site in 6 children was not reported before. Various forms of video EEG discharge were noted, and 1 child with self-limited epilepsy showed transient multifocal epileptic discharge during frequent seizures. Oxcarbazepine and topiramate were effective for self-limiting epilepsy, and lamotrigine was effective in 1 child with late-onset epileptic encephalopathy. Eleven patients were followed up for (66±32) months; the age ranged from 8 months to 11 years and 6 months at the last follow-up; 10 patients had seizure remission and 1 had uncontrolled seizure. Conclusions:Besides self-limited epilepsy and developmental epileptic encephalopathy, SCN2A gene mutations are also associated with febrile convulsion and childhood absent epilepsy. Phenotypic differences are highly correlated with mutation locations; developmental epileptic encephalopathy associated variants are mostly located in extracellular domains, while self-limited epileptic variants are mostly located in intracellular domains.
