Objective:To learn about the fasting blood glucose (FBG) level of adults in different water iodine areas in Shanxi Province, and to study the relationship between high iodine intake in drinking water and blood glucose.Methods:The urinary iodine content and FBG of 18-65 years old residents in the high-water iodine area of Gaoche Village, Wenshui County, Shanxi Province in 2016 (iodine content in drinking water > 100 μg/L) and the low-water iodine area of Maxi Village (iodine content in drinking water < 10 μg/L) were retrospectively analyzed, and the urinary iodine content, FBG level and its abnormal rate of adults in different water iodine areas were compared.Results:A total of 598 subjects were included, including 276 in Gaoche Village and 322 in Maxi Village. The difference of median urinary iodine (422.8, 126.5 μg/L) between Gaoche Village and Maxi Village was statistically significant ( Z = 7.81, P < 0.001). The FBG levels of adults in Gaoche Village and Maxi Village [(6.70 ± 1.87), (6.04 ± 1.23) mmol/L] were significantly different ( t = 5.18, P < 0.001). The difference of FBG level in males [(6.82 ± 1.82), (5.99 ± 1.11) mmol/L] between the two regions was statistically significant ( t = 4.45, P < 0.001), the difference of FBG level in females [(6.59 ± 1.91), (6.07 ± 1.30) mmol/L] was statistically significant ( t = 2.96, P = 0.003). In Gaoche Village and Maxi Village, there was no statistically significant difference in FBG level between males and females ( t = 1.04, 0.52, P = 0.308, 0.564). Comparison of FBG levels in 18-< 45 years old group [(6.31 ± 1.57), (5.79 ± 0.89) mmol/L] and 45-65 years old group [(7.00 ± 2.02), (6.18 ± 1.36) mmol/L] between the two regions, the differences were statistically significant ( t = 3.10, 4.60, P = 0.002, P < 0.001). Moreover, in Gaoche Village and Maxi Village, the FBG level of the 45-65 years old group was higher than that of the 18-< 45 years old group in the same area, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 3.07, 2.74, P = 0.003, 0.006). The abnormal rate of FBG in adults in Gaoche Village and Maxi Village [28.3% (78/276) and 15.5% (50/322)] was statistically significantly different (χ 2 = 14.32, P < 0.001). Conclusion:Long-term intake of high iodine in drinking water may cause abnormal glucose metabolism.

OBJECTIVE:The establ ish the qu ality standard of Achyranthes bidentata decoction pieces and establish the fingerprint of decoction pieces of different origins. METHODS :TLC method was used to identify A. bidentata decoction pieces. The contents of water ,total ash and ethanol-soluble extract in A. bidentata decoction pieces were determined according to the method in 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (part Ⅳ). UV spectrophotometry was used to determine the content of total steroid. The content of β-ecdysterone in A. bidentata decoction pieces was determined by HPLC. HPLC method was used to establish the fingerprint of 10 batches of A. bidentata decoction pieces. Using β-ecdysterone(No. 10 peak)as reference ,similarity evaluation was conducted by using Similarity Evaluation System for TCM Chromatographic Fingerprints (2012 edition),and the common peaks were determined. SPSS 21.0 software was used for cluster analysis and principal component analysis so as to evaluate the comprehensive quality of A. bidentata decoction pieces. RESULTS :Results of TLC identification showed that the spots with the same color on the corresponding positions of β-ecdysterone and ginsenoside Ro control in chromatogram of test sample. The average water content of 10 batches of A. bidentata decoction pieces was 4.07% -6.33% . The total ash content was 5.04% -6.43% . The ethanol-soluble extract was 6.57% -11.12% . The linear range of total sterone (by β-ecdysterone) and β-ecdysterone were 0.01-0.08 mg/mL and 68.5-479.5 µg/mL (R2>0.999), respectively. RSDs of precision ,stability and repeatability tests were all less than 3%. The average recovery rates were 98.85%(RSD=1.89%,n=6)and 100.34%(RSD= 2.12%,n=9),respectively. The average contents were 0.34%-0.56% and 0.07%-0.09%,respectively. There were 24 common peaks in 10 batches of A. bidentata decoction pieces ,and the similarity was all over 0.900. Cluster analysis results showed that 10 batches of A. bidentata decoction pieces could be grouped into 4 categories,among which S 1,S3,S6 and S 10 were one category , S2,S7 and S 8 were one category ,S4 and S 9 were one category ,and S 5 was one category. The results of principal component analysis showed that the cumulative variance contribution rate of the first four principal components was 86.774%.

Objective:To master the prevalence of thyroid nodule in adults in different water iodine areas and to explore the association between high iodine intake through drinking water and thyroid nodule prevalence.Methods:Xiwenzhuang Village of Taiyuan City was selected as iodine-adequate area, and Gaoche Village and Maxi Village of Wenshui County as high-iodine area and low-iodine area, respectively, in Shanxi Province. Questionnaire surveys were conducted, thyroid ultrasound was used and urinary iodine levels were determined of residents aged 18 to 65 years. Analysis of the prevalence of thyroid nodules in adults in different wated iodine areas.Results:A total of 868 person were investigated, including 286 in high-iodine area, 270 in iodine-adequate area and 312 in low-iodine area. The medians urinary iodine in high, adequate and low iodine areas were 418.7, 218.5 and 127.1 μg/L, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( H = 289.70, P < 0.05). The detection rate of thyroid nodule in adults with high, adequate and low iodine levels were 31.1% (89/286), 27.4% (74/270) and 19.2% (60/312), respectively, the differences were significant statistically among three groups (χ 2 = 11.65, P < 0.05). The detection rates of solitary nodule in adults were 17.8% (51/286), 14.1% (38/270), and 13.1% (41/312), respectively, the differences were not significant statistically among the three groups (χ 2 = 2.83, P > 0.05). The detection rate of multiple nodules in adults were 13.3% (38/286), 13.3% (36/270), and 6.1% (19/312), respectively, the differences were significant statistically among the three groups (χ 2 = 10.89, P < 0.05) high-iodine area and iodine-adequate area have higher detection rates than low-iodine area ( P < 0.05). The thyroid nodules were mainly the cyst nodules in high-iodine area. Conclusions:The detection rate of thyroid nodule in adults is the lowest in adequate iodine nutrition level. More iodine intake is probably a risk factor for thyroid multiple nodules.
