OBJECTIVES: This study aims to explore the current status and risk factors of oral health-related quality of life OHRQoL in patients with mental disorders and provide evidence for effective intervention measures. METHODS: A total of 397 patients diagnosed with mental illness were selected by convenience sampling, and investigation was carried out using general data questionnaire, health literacy in dentistry-14 (HeLD-14), oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14), and oral health status checklist. RESULTS: The total score of OHIP-14 in patients with mental disorders was 8(2, 14). The score of HeLD-14 was negatively correlated with the score of OHIP-14 (r=-0.142, P<0.01). The results of multiple linear regression showed that six variables including annual family income, schizophrenia, sweets, frequency of visits to the dentist, dental caries, and missing teeth affected OHRQoL of patients with mental disorders (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The poor OHRQoL of psychiatric patients is associated with many factors. Medical personnel should pay attention to their oral health problems and develop targeted oral care programs throughout the course of disease to improve oral health and related quality of life of patients.

Objective:To investigate the iodine nutritional status of children and the consumption condition of non-iodized salt in Henan Province after implementation of the new standard of "Definition and demarcation of water-borne iodine-excess areas and iodine-excess endemial areas" (GB/T 19380-2016, hereinafter referred to as new standard) for four years (2021), and to provide a basis for scientific adjustment of intervention strategies.Methods:In 2021, according to the requirements of the new standard and based on the results of the water iodine survey in Henan Province from 2017 to 2020, a survey was conducted on the iodine nutrition status of children in water-borne high iodine areas in 47 counties (cities, districts, hereinafter referred to as counties) with high iodine administrative village (neighborhood committee, hereinafter referred to as administrative village). In each county, 5 administrative villages with median water iodine > 100 μg/L were selected as the investigation villages, and water samples were collected to determine the water iodine value. Forty non-boarding students aged 8 - 10 (age balanced, half male and half female, age increased to 6 - 12 when less than 40) were selected from each village as investigation subjects. Salt samples from their homes and urine samples were collected to detect salt iodine and urine iodine content, and thyroid volume of children was measured. And the monitoring results of areas where the supply of iodized salt had been suspended for less than 4 years (in newly high iodine areas) and more than 10 years (in previously high iodine areas) were further compared and analyzed.Results:A total of 257 administrative villages in the province were monitored, and the range of water iodine was 1.6 - 609.5 μg/L, with a median of 132.5 μg/L. A total of 8 611 children were tested for salt iodine, urine iodine and thyroid volume. The non-iodized salt rate was 58.3% (5 017/8 611), and the median urine iodine was 342.2 μg/L, thyroid enlargement rate was 2.9% (250/8 611). The median water iodine (153.0 vs 118.4 μg/L), the median urine iodine in children (371.6 vs 287.7 μg/L) and the goiter rate [3.8% (211/5 537) vs 1.3% (39/3 074)] in the newly high iodine areas were higher than those in the previously high iodine areas, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z = 583.12, - 14.09, P < 0.001; χ 2 = 44.40, P < 0.001); the non-iodized salt rate was lower than that of the previously high iodine areas [37.2% (2 057/5 537) vs 96.3% (2 960/3 074)], and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 2 841.37, P < 0.001). Conclusions:The iodine nutrition level of children in water-borne high iodine areas of Henan Province in 2021 is at an excess level, but the non-iodized salt rate in residential households is low. We should make every effort to ensure the precise supply of non-iodized salt in high iodine areas after implementation of the new standard, and strengthen iodine nutrition monitoring and health education for key populations to prevent the occurrence of high iodine hazards.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） has gradually become the main reason affecting human liver health， and many factors are involved in the development and progression of NAFLD. Mitochondria， as the “energy factory” of cells， plays an important role in maintaining normal physiological functions. Studies have shown that hepatic mitochondrial dysfunction promotes the development and progression of NAFLD. This article briefly introduces the latest research advances in the basic characteristics and physiological function of liver mitochondria and reviews new research findings in the association of mitochondrial dysfunction with obesity， simple fatty liver disease， and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis， in order to provide new ideas for the research on targeted mitochondrial therapy for NAFLD.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and outcomes of type 2 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and compare with type 1 AIP.Methods:Clinical data of the patients diagnosed with type 2 AIP by the International Consensus on diagnostic criteria of AIP at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2001 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and type 1 AIP patients diagnosed in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 1985 to December 2016 were collected as controls. The clinical symptoms, treatments and follow-ups were analyzed.Results:A total of 25 patients with type 2 AIP were included, of which 16 cases (64.0%) were pathologically confirmed cases (13 cases by endoscopic ultrasound puncture, 2 cases by surgery, and 1 case by interventional puncture), and 9 cases (36.0%) were suspected. The average age of onset was 40 years old. Most patients ( n=23, 92.0%) had abdominal pain along with emaciation to a various degree. Among them, 3 cases primarily presented as acute pancreatitis. Two cases were diagnosed after surgery for pancreatic masses. Eighteen cases were complicated with inflammatory bowel disease, including 16 cases with ulcerative colitis, one case with Crohn's disease, and one case with indeterminate colitis. All patients had typical imaging manifestations, including 13 cases (52.0%) with diffuse pancreatic enlargement, 12 cases (48.0%) with focal or multifocal pancreatic lesions, and 5 cases (20.0%) with simultaneous focal pancreatic masses and diffuse enlargement. All patients had normal serum IgG4 levels, anti-neutropil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) positivity rate was 35.3% (6/17), and anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) positivity rate was 29.2% (7/24). Two surgical patients recovered well after surgery, and the other patients all achieved clinical and imaging relief after hormone therapy, and no recurrence was seen during follow-up. Compared with type 1 AIP, type 2 AIP had younger onset age, main manifestation as abdominal pain without jaundice, rare involvement with extra-pancreatic organs, the lesions mainly located in the intestine and normal IgG4 level with statistically significant differences. The recurrence rate of type 2 AIP was lower than that of type 1 AIP (0 vs 16%). Conclusions:Type 2 AIP has different clinical characteristics from type 1 AIP. Due to the lack of specific serum markers, the diagnosis is more difficult. It responds well to glucocorticoids and has a low recurrence rate.

Objective:To compare iodine nutritional status of different populations consuming iodized salt and non-iodized salt in iodine adequate areas, and to provide a basis for formulating iodine supplementation strategies.Methods:In October 2021, Luyi County in Henan Province was selected as an iodine adequate area consuming iodized salt, while Ningling County was selected as an iodine adequate area consuming non-iodized salt. Stratified by water iodine (50 - 59, 60 - 69, 70 - 79, 80 - 89, 90 - 100 μg/L), one village was selected from each layer. One hundred children aged 8 - 10, one hundred adults, and 20 pregnant women were selected from each village to collect their urine and salt samples for testing salt and urinary iodine, and their thyroid gland was measured by ultrasound.Results:A total of 600 salt samples in Luyi County were collected, with the coverage rate of iodized salt (99.8%, 599/600) and the consuming rate of qualified iodized salt (95.5%, 573/600). A total of 1 008 salt samples in Ningling County were collected, with the rate of non-iodized salt (93.8%, 946/1 008). The median urinary iodine of children in Luyi County ( n = 240) was higher than that in Ningling County ( n = 468, 305.0 vs 232.0 μg/L, Z = - 8.10, P < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in median urinary iodine between pregnant women in Luyi County ( n = 120) and Ningling County ( n = 53, 240.0 vs 236.0 μg/L, Z = - 1.02, P = 0.306). The median urinary iodine of adults in Luyi County ( n = 238) was higher than that in Ningling County ( n = 486, 289.0 vs 178.5 μg/L, Z = - 11.14, P < 0.001). Children's urinary iodine ( r s = 0.21, P = 0.001) in Luyi County and adults' urinary iodine ( r s = 0.17, P < 0001) in Ningling County were positively correlated with water iodine. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of thyroid enlargement in children between Luyi County (0.8%, 2/240) and Ningling County (0.4%, 2/468, χ 2 = 0.80, P = 0.586), but the incidence of thyroid nodules in children in Luyi County (11.2%, 27/240) was higher than that in Ningling County (1.7%, 8/468, χ 2 = 27.36, P < 0.001). The incidence of thyroid nodules in pregnant women in Luyi County (23.3%, 28/120) was lower than that in Ningling County (46.5%, 33/71, χ 2 = 10.99, P = 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adult thyroid nodules between Luyi County and Ningling County (χ 2 = 0.86, P = 0.354), with a ratio of 29.6% (71/240) to 32.9% (160/486). Conclusions:Providing population with non-iodized salt in iodine adequate areas, the overall iodine nutrition is at an appropriate level. However, children consuming iodized salt in iodine adequate areas have high level of iodine nutrition, and it is necessary to consider supplying non-iodized salt or reducing the concentration of iodized salt. Pregnant women in iodine adequate area should maintain the current policy of supplying iodized salt unchanged.

Objective:To investigate the iodine nutritional status of key populations in iodine adequate areas in Henan Province, and provide a basis for timely adoption of targeted prevention and control measures and scientific formulation of iodine supplementation strategies in iodine adequate areas.Methods:From March to September 2022, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in 60 iodine adequate counties (cities, districts) in 13 provincial-level cities in Henan Province. Administrative villages with a median water iodine level of 40 - 100 μg/L within each county (city, district) were stratified by water iodine value (40 - 49, 50 - 59, 60 - 69, 70 - 79, 80 - 89, 90 - 100 μg/L). One administrative village was selected from each water iodine layer, and 40 non boarding students aged 8 - 10 years old (age balanced, half male and half female) and 20 pregnant women were selected from each administrative village to collect their household edible salt samples and once random urine sample for test salt iodine and urinary iodine contents; and the thyroid volume of children was measured.Results:A total of 12 203 samples of household edible salt were collected from children aged 8 - 10 years old, with a median salt iodine of 24.5 mg/kg, the iodized salt coverage rate was 85.3% (10 414/12 203), and the qualified iodized salt consumption rate was 77.1% (9 406/12 203). A total of 3 999 samples of household edible salt were collected from pregnant women, with a median salt iodine of 24.0 mg/kg, the iodized salt coverage rate was 84.2% (3 366/3 999), and the qualified iodized salt consumption rate was 74.5% (2 981/3 999). A total of 12 241 urine samples from children aged 8 - 10 years old were collected, with a median urinary iodine of 290.4 μg/L. A total of 4 084 urine samples from pregnant women were collectedd, with a median urinary iodine of 233.0 μg/L. The thyroid volume of 11 971 children was examined, and the rate of goiter was 2.1% (257/11 971). Stratified by water iodine content, the median urinary iodine levels of children in 40 - 59, 60 - 79, and 80 - 100 μg/L water iodine groups were 269.7, 298.0 and 308.0 μg/L, respectively, with a statistically significant difference between the groups ( H = 67.32, P < 0.001). The goiter rates of children were 2.2% (100/4 603), 2.1% (80/3 733), 2.1% (77/3 635), respectively, with no statistically significant difference between the groups (χ 2 = 0.03, P = 0.986). The median urinary iodine levels of pregnant women were 225.4, 243.1, 234.4 μg/L, respectively, with a statistically significant difference between the groups ( H = 10.96, P = 0.004). Conclusions:The iodine nutrition level of children in iodine adequate areas in Henan Province is at an excessively suitable level, and pregnant women's iodine nutrition is at an appropriate level. It is recommended to strengthen surveillance on the basis of maintaining current prevention and control measures, and adjust prevention and control measures in a timely manner according to changes in iodine nutrition in the population.

Objective To observe the echocardiographic manifestations of infective endocarditis(IE)complicated with valve damage in children.Methods Totally 104 children with IE were retrospectively enrolled and divided into non-damage group(n=34),mild damage group(n=39)and dysfunction group(n=31)according to whether complicated with valve damage and damage's degree.The general and echocardiographic data were compared among groups,and the echocardiographic characteristics of IE complicated with valve damage in children were analyzed.Results Significant difference of the proportion of combining with other congenital heart diseases(excluding bicuspid aortic malformations),the incidence of embolization events during hospital stay,also of endocarditis of left cardiac system were found among groups(all P＜0.05).Pairwise comparison showed that in non-damage group,the proportion of combining with other congenital heart diseases was higher,while the incidence of endocarditis of left cardiac system was lower than those in both mild damage group and dysfunction group(all P＜0.05).The incidence of embolization events during hospital stay in non-damage group was lower than that in dysfunction group(P＜0.05).Among 70 cases of IE complicated with valve damage,mitral valve(30/70,42.86％)was the most common involved valve,mostly presented as valve stenosis(63/70,90.00％).No significant difference of valve involvement site,valve structural lesions nor the incidence of valve stenosis was found between mild damage group and dysfunction group(all P＞0.05).Conclusion IE complicated with valve damage in children mostly involved left cardiac system,and the risk of embolization events was higher than that of IE children without valve damage.Echocardiography could be used as an important method for evaluating the site of valve involvement and the degree of damage.
