Objective: To investigate the lunch supply in primary and middle school dining rooms in Ningbo City, so as to provide the scientific evidence for guiding rational dietary supply and improving student health. Methods: A primary school and a junior high school were randomly sampled from each of 10 counties (districts) in Ningbo City. Food receipt and balance, dinner supply and number of students with meals were collected from school dining rooms with questionnaires formulated by Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and all foods in school dining rooms provided by enterprises were sorted and recorded. Daily mean lunch food, energy and nutrient supply was calculated per student, and evaluated with the Student Electronic Nutritionist platform, the 2013 revision of Chinese Dietary Reference Intakes and the national criteria of Nutrition Guidelines of Student Meals (WS/T 554-2017). Results: Six urban primary schools, six urban junior high schools, four rural primary schools and four rural junior high schools were enrolled, and there were two schools with meals provided by enterprises and eighteen schools with meals provided by their dining rooms. Appropriate supply of cereals and potatoes, excessive supply of livestock and poultry meat, vegetable oil and salt, and low supply of fruits, eggs, milk and soybean and nuts were found in primary and junior high school, and notably, milk and fruits were not provided by any rural junior high schools. Excessive energy supply was found in primary schools (excessive energy supply in rural primary schools and appropriate in urban primary schools), and appropriate energy supply was seen in junior high schools. High energy ratios of protein and fat, low energy ratio of carbohydrate, low supply of diatery fiber, vitamin A and calcium, appropriate supply of vitamin B1, B2 and C, and sufficient supply of iron and zinc were found in primary and junior high school. Conclusion Unreasonable dietary structure, excessive energy supply and nutrient imbalance are found in lunch supply by primary and junior high schools in Ningbo City.

Objective To observe the influence ofgypenosides on hydrogen sulfide in liver tissue and plasma of rat with type 2 diabetes mellitus and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.Methods 58 SPF male SD rats,with body mass 220～250 g,were randomly divided into a blank control group (group N,n=7),and a NAFLD and T2DM model group (Group M,n=51).Group N was fed with ordinary diet in the first four weeks,group M was fed with diets of high fat and sugar,injected with 40 mg/kg STZ overnight,and the same diets for the next four weeks.The rat model with T2DM and NAFLD was build.NAFLD and T2DM model group were divided into three groups:a high dose GPS group (JH,n=9) injected with 1 g/kg · d-1 GPS,a low dose GPS group (JL,n=9) injected with 0.5 g/kg · d-1 GPS,and a model group (M,n=9) injected with the same volume of water,and high fat diet at the same time.The treatment period was six weeks,and the experiment period was fourteen weeks.TG,TC,BS,and H2S in the plasma of rat were tested,and H2S in the liver tissue of the rat was tested.Results ①The changes of H2S in plasma:group JH [(4.30±0.43) μmol/L] and JL [(3.83 ±0.47) μmol/L] was lower than group M [(2.67 ± 0.41) μmol/L],there was a significant difference.②The changes of H2S in the liver tissue:group JH [(333.52±37.94) pmol/min/mg/protein] and JL [(275.81 ±36.07)pmol/min/mg/protein] was lower than group M [(237.8± 33.05) pmol/min/mg/protein],there was a significant difference.③BS levels:group JH(10.86±3.46)mmol/L,group JL (14.78±3.39)mmol/L,group M(18.84±4.24) mmol/L,group JH and JL was lower than group M,there was a significant difference (P＜0.01).④The plasma TG level:group N (0.96±0.09) mmol/L,group JH (2.82± 0.66) mmol/L,group JL (1.83± 0.56) mmol/L,group M (3.97 ± 0.64) mmol/L.group JH and JL was lower than group M,there was a significant difference (P＜0.01).Conclusion Gypenoside can reduce the blood sugar,triglycerides,and total cholesterol in rat with with type 2 diabetes mellitus and nonalcohol fatty liver disease.H2S concentrations in plasma and liver tissue of the rats with T2DM and NAFLD were increased by GPS,showing dose dependence.Gypenosides can also improve metabolism of blood glucose and lipid in rats with T2DM and NAFLD.

Objective To investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the proliferation of neural stem cells in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and the expression of miR-9 in the ipsilesional hemisphere of rats with focal cerebral ischemia.Methods A rat model of acute focal cerebral ischemia was established using transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO).Rats were then randomly assigned to a sham group,a control group or an rTMS group.Daily rTMS treatments (10 trains with 30 pulses per train and 50-second breaks between trains at 120％ of the resting motor threshold) were targeted at the ipsilesional MI cortex beginning one day after the tMCAO.After the treatment the proliferation of neural stem cells in the ipsilesional SVZ was identified by double immunofluorescence staining (BrdU/nestin).The expression of miR-9 was evaluated using quantitative PCR.Results Compared with the other two groups,BrdU + Nestin + cells in the ipsilesional SVZs of the rTMS group increased and the expression of miR-9 decreased significantly.Conclusion rTMS can promote the proliferation of neural stem cells and inhibit the expression of miR-9 in the ipsilesional hemisphere after focal cerebral ischemia.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the clinical effect of standardized training and management of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) and catheter-related complications. METHODS: A total of 610 patients were divided into a control group and an observation group, the control group (n=300) were catheterized by trainees who received "short-term intensive training", the observation group (n=310) by "system standardized training and management". The clinical efficacy of catheterization and the rate of catheter-related complications were compared. RESULTS: There was significant difference in the one-time puncture success rate, one-time cannulation success rate, the time for operation and the pain score between the 2 groups (all P<0.01), and there was also significant difference in the occurrence of catheter extrusion, plug, arrhythmia, catheter-related thrombosis, phlebitis, puncture point effusion and catheter-related infection between the 2 groups (all P<0.05). CONCLUSION Standardized PICC training and management can improve the effect of catheterization and reduce the incidence of PICC-related complication.

Objective To detect the expression of Nrf2 in mice with viral myocarditis and to investigate the changes and effects of Nrf2 after puerarin (Pue) treatment.Methods A total of 130 BALB/C male mice aged 4 weeks were randomly divided into control group,VMC group,Nrf2 activator group and Pue group (20 mice in each group) with different concentrations.The models were made with Coxsackie B3 virus (CVB3).The mice were sacrificed on day 0,4,7,14 and 28 respectively,and blood and myocardial samples were harvested.Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry.The expression changes of Nrf2,HO-1,Fas,TGF-beta 1 mRNA were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot respectively.Statistical software SPSS19.0 was used to analyze the results.The measurement data was expressed mean ± standard deviation.The paired samples were tested with mean t test.The group data were analyzed with two-way ANOVA.A P value of less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance.Correlation analysis was performed with Spearman's correlation test.Results Nrf2 mRNA and Nrf2 protein were expressed in all groups.The correlations between Nrf2 and HO-1,Fas and TGF-beta-1 were analyzed according to CPDT or Pue,and the results were consistent with each other.It showed that the relationship between Nrf2 and HO-1,Fas and TGF-beta-1 did not change with intervention measures.The transcription and protein expression of HO1 in CPDT and Pue groups were significantly increased,and were positively correlated with Nrf2 (r =0.969,P ＜0.01).At a certain dose gradient (＜ 45 mg/kg),the transcription and protein expression of HO-1 were dose-dependent;the decreased cardiomyocyte apoptosis was observed in both CPDT and Pue group,while Nrf2 and Fas were negatively correlated (r =-0.968,P ＜ 0.01);at a certain dose gradient,the expression of TGF-beta 1 in CPDT and Pue group decreased with the increase of dose,and Nrf2 and TGF-beta 1 were negatively correlated (r =-0.753,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The increased expression of Nrf2 in VMC is involved in the occurrence and development of VMC.Nrf2 has antioxidant effect in VMC by up-regulating the antioxidant enzyme HO-1,has the anti-myocardial APO effect by inhibiting the Fas/FasL signaling pathway,and inhibits myocardial fibrosis by suppressing the expression of TGF-beta 1 protein and transcription.The therapeutic effect of Pue on VMC is to activate Nrf2 to produce antioxidant,anti-apoptotic and anti-fibrotic effects.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological and pathogenic characteristics of foodborne diseases among students in Ningbo from 2014 to 2021, so as to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of foodborne diseases in schools. Methods: Information on foodborne disease cases among students attending all surveillance hospitals in Ningbo from 2014 to 2021 was collected from the Foodborne Disease Surveillance System of Zhejiang Province, and epidemiological characteristics and pathogenic analysis were analyzed. Results: A total of 3 602 cases of foodborne diseases in the student population were reported in Ningbo, of which 54.58% were males and 45.42% were females. Students aged 18 years and above accounted for the highest incidence group, and the incidence time mainly showed two peaks in May to June and September to October. Meat and meat products accounted for the largest proportion of suspicious foods (21.11%), and the positive pathogen detection rates were 11.20% for Norovirus, 3.30% for Vibrio parahaemolyticus, 1.77% for Salmonella, 1.30% for diarrheogenic Escherichia coli and 0.18% for Shigella. Conclusion The main suspect foods for foodborne diseases among students in Ningbo are primarily meat and meat products, and the main etiological agent is norovirus, which requires strengthening food safety health education and food safety management.

Objective To explore the effect of single level lumbar disc herniation on the morphology and diameter of sciatic nerve,and to identify the correlation between the diameter change in sciatic nerve and severity of clinical symptoms,as well as the prognosis of surgical treatment in patients with lumbar disc herniation.Methods From January 1,2017 to December 31,2017,Seventy lumbar disc herniation (LDH) patients who underwent single-level posterior lumbar spine surgery were recruited in this retrospective analysis study.Specific data including age,gender,the level of a disc herniation,the type of disc herniation,symptomatic side,surgical procedure were recorded respectively.In addition the morphological changes and the diameter of bilateral sciatic nerve were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively by B-mode ultrasound.Furthermore,the pain in patients and neurological function were evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS,back pain and leg pain),Japanese orthopaedic association scores-lumbar (JOA) and Oswestry disability index (ODI).The correlation between the diameter of sciatic nerve and clinical features,as well as clinical prognosis of patients were identified in the present study.Results For patients with acute lumbar disc herniation,the diameter of sciatic nerve in affected side was 5.19±1.03 ram,which is significantly higher than that in the unaffected side (4.57±0.64 mm,t=6.735,P=0.000).In addition,preoperative ratio of the affected side to the healthy side of the sciatic nerve showed strong correlation with the VAS of leg pain (r=0.838,P=0.001),JOA (r=-0.857,P=0.001),and ODI score(r=0.881,P=0.000),but not with the VAS of back pain (r=-0.061,P=0.614).Three months after surgery,the diameter of sciatic nerve in the affected side decreased to 4.58±0.63 mm (t=6.865,P=0.000),while the unaffected side showed no significant change(t=0.300,P=0.765).Clinical improvement was observed in all the patients postoperatively.The changes in the diameter of sciatic nerve postoperatively in affected side showed strong correlation to the rate of improvement in VAS of leg (r=0.624,P=0.003),JOA(r=0.615,P=0.003) and ODI scores (r=0.722,P=0.002),but not to the rate of improvement in VAS of back (r=-0.025,P=0.836).Conclusion Single root compression in patients with single level disc herniation might cause morphological changes such as thickening and edema in sciatic nerve,which were closely related to the severity of clinical symptoms and the prognosis of surgical treatment.

Objective:To investigate the techniques of digit-tip replantation with anastomosis of superior digital arch artery in children and to evaluate the clinical effects.Methods:From January 2020 to September 2022, 62 children (62 digits) with completely severed digit-tips were admitted to the Department of Paediatric Orthopaedics, Suzhou Ruihua Orthopaedic Hospital. All the injury planes were distal to the nail root. All arterial dissections were distal to the digital arterial arch with the vessel calibre from 0.15 mm to 0.35 mm. The superior arch arteries of the digital arterial arch were successfully anastomosed. After surgery, a significant blood flux to the replanted digit body were observed. Postoperative necroses or failures were analysed for the causes. All children with survived digit-tips were entered into scheduled follow-ups through a combination of visit of outpatient clinics or via WeChat and telephone reviews. Postoperative follow-up included digit body fullness, motion of distal interphalangeal joint, nail growth, scarring, and response of the replanted digit-tips to needling. Clinical outcomes were evaluated according to the evaluation criteria for finger replantation function.Results:Of the 62 replanted digit-tips, 56 survived after replantation. Two digits had wound infection after surgery, and survived by dressing change and applying sensitive antibiotics. Necrosis occurred in 6 replanted digit-tips, of which 2 necrotic digit bodies were amputated, and the stumps at the distal interphalangeal joint were repaired. The other 4 necrotic digits were healed after dressing change under the scab due to a smaller digit body. A total of 52 children (including 2 survivals from postoperative infection after dressing changes and 4 survivals with healing underneath-eschar after necrosis) and with 10 lost during follow-up (including 2 with stump repairs after necrosis). The follow-up period ranged from 2 to 30 months, with an average of 6 months. The shape and function of replanted digit-tips recovered well. According to the evaluation criteria for finger replantation function, 44 digits were of excellent, 6 of good, and 2 of fair.Conclusion:In children, the superior arch arteries of digital arterial arches of the digit-tips are small in diameter. However, the vessels in smaller calibres can be anastomosed, should proper surgical techniques are applied. Therefore, due to the satisfactory outcomes, microsurgeons should try the best efforts to replant a digit severed at the plane of digit-tip.

Objective:To observe the role of Huaiqihuang Granules (HQ) in the long-term management of bronchial asthma in young children, and the effective effect on concomitant rhinitis.Methods:A prospective real-world multicenter study was conducted in children aged 2-5 years with asthma diagnosed in the outpatient department (from April 2016 to March 2019)who received either inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA)(control group); inhaled ICS/LTRA plus HQ(combination group), or HQ alone(HQ group). All patients were followed up at week 4, 8, 12 after treatment. The number of days with asthma symptoms, the frequency of severe asthma attacks, the level of asthma control, and the days with rhinitis symptoms in the last 4 weeks were recorded. Differences before and after treatment, and those among groups after treatment were compared using Kruskal- Wallis H test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Results:A total of 2 234 eligible patients were recruited, and 2 147 cases completed followed-up visits, including 477, 1 374 and 296 cases in the control group, combination group, and HQ group, respectively. After the treatment, all 3 groups showed significant declines in the days with asthma symptoms, frequency of severe asthma attack and the days with rhinitis symptoms (all P<0.01), and the rate of well-controlled asthma increased significantly ( P<0.01). It lasted until the end of follow-up. Among groups, patients in the combination group showed significantly less days of asthma symptoms than those of the other 2 group at week 8 and 12[0(0, 0.9) d vs.0(0, 0.3) d, P<0.05; 0(0, 0.1) d vs. 0(0, 1.0) d, P<0.01]. Patients in the combination group and HQ group showed a significantly lower rate of severe asthma attacks than that of the control group at week 12 [0(0, 1), 0(0, 1), 0(0, 2), all P<0.05]. The well-controlled rate of asthma in the combination group was significantly higher than that of the control group and HQ group at week 8 and 12 (89.6% vs. 85.9% vs.82.1%, H=15.28; 90.9% vs. 84.1% vs. 81.8%, χ2=29.32, all P<0.01). Conclusions:HQ can significantly alleviate symptoms of asthma and rhinitis, severe attack of asthma, and increase the control rate of asthma when used as an additional treatment or used alone.

Objective To summarize the long-term outcomes and safety of childhood Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) with protocol ABVD. Methods The clinical data of 20 children with HL admitted to the Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University from July 2010 to June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 20 children with HL, 15 were male and 5 were female. The median age of initial diagnosis was 6.5 years old (3-12 years old). The pathological types were as follow: 1 case was nodular lymphocyte-predominant HL (NLPHL) and 19 cases were classical HL (cHL), including 9 cases of mixed cell type, 9 cases of nodular sclerosis type and 1 case of lymphocyte rich type. Basing on Ann Arbor staging system, 1 patient was evaluated as stage Ⅰ, 4 patients were stage Ⅱ, 10 patients were stage Ⅲ, and 5 patients were stage Ⅳ. There were 3 patients in the low-risk group, 7 patients in the intermediate-risk group, and 10 patients in the high-risk group. There were 9 patients with B symptoms. All patients were treated with the ABVD regimen. Results All the 20 patients completed all chemotherapy courses. After 2 courses, the effective rate was 100％(20/20), including 12 cases of complete remission (CR) and 8 cases of partial remission (PR). After the treatment, 19 cases achieved CR, and at the end of the 6 courses, the evaluation showed that 1 case had residual lesions. Follow-up to February 2018, clinical symptoms of 18 cases achieved CR, 2 cases relapsed (all high-risk group); the median follow-up time was 42 months (10.1-87.9 months), the overall survival rate was 100 ％ (20/20), the estimated 5-year rate of freedom from treatment failure (FFTF) was (89.1 ±7.3) ％.Conclusions According to the risk stratification, ABVD regimen has good safety and long-term efficacy for children with cHL. Even the patients in low-risk or intermediate-risk group do not achieve CR after 2 courses and do not receive radiotherapy, the prognosis of them is still good.
