Objective:To investigate the dietary iodine intake of people in different areas of Qinghai Province, and to provide the basis for scientific iodine supplementation and continuous elimination of iodine deficiency hazards.Methods:From 2018 to 2019, according to administrative division, natural geographical regions, population distribution and economic development level of Qinghai Province, a total of 14 survey sites were selected. One village was selected from each survey site, and 20 households were selected from each village, the salt samples and 24 h urine samples of all family members were collected to detect salt iodine and urinary iodine. One drinking water sample was collected at the five directions of east, west, south, north and middle of each village to detect water iodine. Salt iodine was detected by direct titration, urinary iodine and water iodine were detected by arsenic-cerium catalytic spectrophotometry. At the same time, the 3-day weighing method was used to investigate the diet, the daily dietary iodine intake per capita (the result was expressed as average) and the proportion of dietary iodine in urinary iodine were calculated, the daily dietary iodine intake per capita of different production modes (agricultural region and pastoral region), different geographical environment (Hehuang Valley, Qaidam Basin, Qilian Mountain and Qingnan Plateau), different nationalities (Han, Tibetan, Hui, Mongolian, Tu, Salar) and different economic levels (< 8 000, 8 000 -, 10 000 -, ≥12 000 Yuan) were compared.Results:A total of 999 people from 280 families were surveyed, including 511 males and 488 females. The median water iodine of each survey site was less than 10 μg/L, all of which were environmentally iodine-deficient areas. A total of 280 salt samples were collected, the median salt iodine was 26.0 mg/kg, and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 100% (280/280). A total of 999 urine samples were tested, and the median urinary iodine of people was 192.5 μg/L, which was at an appropriate level of iodine. There was no statistically significant difference ( t =-1.599, P > 0.05) in the daily dietary iodine intake per capita (28.53, 33.44 μg) of people in agricultural region ( n = 643) and pastoral region ( n = 356). The daily dietary iodine intake per capita (25.38, 33.30, 32.98, 34.79 μg) of people in Hehuang Valley ( n = 448), Qaidam Basin ( n = 125), Qilian Mountain ( n = 157), and Qingnan Plateau ( n = 269) were compared, the difference was statistically significant ( F = 2.883, P < 0.05); among them, the daily dietary iodine intake per capita in Hehuang Valley was lower than that in Qingnan Plateau ( P < 0.05). The daily dietary iodine intake per capita of different nationalities were compared, the difference was statistically significant ( F = 3.647, P < 0.05), Salar ( n = 68) and Tibetan ( n = 239) were higher (37.21 and 32.21 μg). The daily dietary iodine intake per capita (38.97, 17.01, 30.86, 33.14 μg) of annual per capita disposable income < 8 000 ( n = 194), 8 000-( n = 221), 10 000-( n = 302), ≥12 000 Yuan ( n = 282) were compared, the difference was statistically significant ( F = 9.407, P < 0.05). The proportions of dietary iodine in urinary iodine of various population ranged from 5.35% to 15.54%. Conclusions:The iodine nutrition of people in Qinghai Province is suitable, the dietary iodine intake of people is closely related to geographical environment, nationality and economic level. But the proportion of dietary iodine in urinary iodine is relatively low, the consumption of iodized salt is still the main way for people to intake iodine, and it is also the main measure to continuously eliminate the harm of iodine deficiency in Qinghai Province.

Objective To understand the pathway of iodine intaking among Tibetan, and provide basic data for prevention and control of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). Methods Through the method of random sampling, the boarding and day student aged 8 - 10 and women of childbearing age were conducted dietary survey to understand the condition of food intaking via the 24 h review method in 2015. Samples of urine, drinking water, dried beef, milk, Qula and fried noodles were collected and tested iodine level. Results Due to taking iodized salt three times a day with meals, the median of urinary iodine among 492 investigated boarding students was 179.2 μg/L;differently, the median of urinary iodine among 298 day students in this investigation was 79.6 μg/L who taking iodized salt only at lunch at school;and in the study, the median of urinary iodine among 158 women of childbearing age who took iodine-free salt daily was 33.7 μg/L. The iodine contents in 51 drinking water samples, 66 dried beef samples, 48 milk samples, 20 Qula samples and 37 fried noodle samples were quantified respectively, and the average iodine contents of each food were 0.8 μg/L in drinking water, 59.1 μg/kg in dried beef, 61.5 μg/kg in milk, 226.4 μg/kg in Qula and 17.0 μg/kg in fried noodles. The acceptable daily intake (ADI) of iodine of the boarding and day students aged from 8 to 10 and women of child bearing age were 234.0, 126.4 and 76.7 μg/d, respectively, among which the ADI of iodine with iodized salt were 208.0, 78.0 and 0.0 μg/d. Conclusion Consuming iodized salt is a main method to get iodine among Tibetans in Nangqian County, so that it is significant to carried out this measure for a long time for free to let them have iodized salt every day instead of iodine-free one.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of Dahuang Zhechong Pill (DHZCP) on transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) in rats hepatic stellate cells.

METHODSLiver fibrosis model rats were induced by CCl4 compound factor, and treated with DHZCP in three different dosages (ordinary, double and triple) separately. TGF-beta 1 and alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) synthesis expression, and grades of fibrosis were observed.

RESULTSTGF-beta 1 and alpha-SMA expression in the group treated with ordinary dose of DHZCP was insignificantly different from those in the control group (P > 0.05), but the expression attenuated significantly after treatment with double or triple dose of DHZCP in the portal area and discontinuous fibrous septum (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONDHZCP of larger dosage could inhibit the hepatic stellate cells proliferation and secretion of TGF-beta 1, and reduce the genesis of collagen, so as to weaken the auto-secretion amplifying response of the cells, which might be one of the chief mechanisms of DHZCP in antagonizing liver fibrosis.

Objective:To verify the revised method of cerium sulfate catalytic spectrophotometry for iodide index of "Standard Examination Methods for Drinking Water-Nonmetal Parameters" (GB/T 5750.5-2006).Methods:From July to September 2019, the Laboratory of Department for Endemic Disease Prevention and Control of Qinghai Institute for Disease Prevention and Control verified the revised method (determination of iodide in drinking water by cerium sulfate catalytic spectrophotometry) of cerium sulfate catalytic spectrophotometry (hereinafter referred to as original method) in "Standard Examination Methods for Drinking Water-Nonmetal Parameters" (GB/T 5750.5-2006). The revised method was verified according to the requirements of "Standard Examination Methods for Drinking Water-Water Analysis Quality Control" (GB/T 5750.3-2006), including standard curve, detection limit, precision, accuracy and actual sample determination.Results:The linear range of the revised method was 0 - 20.0 μg/L, the correlation coefficient was - 0.999 4 - 0.999 8, and the detection limit was 0.231 μg/L. The relative standard deviation ( RSD) of low, medium and high iodine water samples of 6 times detection ranged from 1.4% to 9.6%, and the recoveries of low and medium water samples ranged from 89.0% to 108.0%. The detection results of national first-class reference materials for iodine composition analysis in water were within the range of standard value ± uncertainty. There was no significant difference in the test of results of 12 tap water samples between the revised method and the original standard method ( t = - 0.075, P > 0.05). Conclusion:The revised method has a good linear relationship of standard curve, high precision and accuracy, and good reproducibility, is simple and easy to operate, and is suitable for promotion and application.

Objective To investigate the relationship between thyroid volume and multiple body indexes such as urinary iodine level,height,and weight,respectively,in order to provide a theoretical basis for evaluation of goiter disease in the future. Methods The height and weight were measured, and urine samples were collected from children aged 8 to 10 years old from 10 township schools of Nangqian County in Qinghai Province in 2014 and urinary iodine was tested via the As (Ⅲ)-Ce4+catalytic spectrophotometry method. Meanwhile, the thyroid volume was immediately measured via the B-ultrasound method. Statistical analyses were employed finally to assess the difference and correlation between thyroid volume and multiple physiological indexes including urinary iodine level, height, weight, gender and age. Results The thyroid volume of 773 children aged 8 to 10 years old showed skewed distribution (W = 0.088, P < 0.05), with median of 3.53 ml and quartile of 3.05, 4.15 ml. The thyroid volume was not significantly different between different urinary iodine levels (H = 1.644, P > 0.05). There were significant differences of the thyroid volume among different height groups, weight groups and age groups (H=59.845,64.888,28.590,P<0.05),and the thyroid volume was positively correlated with height weight and age,respectively(r = 0.389, 0.359, 0.155, P < 0.05). Conclusions The thyroid volume is related to the level of children's physiological parameters, such as age, height, weight. Therefore, the diagnosis of thyroid volume via the B-ultrasound method for a individual child should not only take age,but also height and weight into account, to reduce the diagnostic error of goiter disease.

Objective To detect urinary bio-markers of hydroxyproline (HYP) and c-terminal telopeptide of collagen type Ⅱ (CTX-Ⅱ) among population from Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) regions in Qinghai Province,and to provide the scientific data for prevention and control of adult KBD.Methods According to the "Diagnosis of Kashin-Beck Disease" (WS/T 207-2010),using case-control study,120 KBD patients (males 55,females 65) and 89 healthy controls (males 41,females 48) in Qinghai KBD regions were divided into case group and control group.Morning urine samples were collected.HYP and CTX-Ⅱ contents were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),then these results were corrected with creatinine.All the data were analyzed by SPSS 17.0 software.Results There was no significant difference in the age of male and female between case group and control group (t =1.813,1.131,P ＞ 0.05).The medians of urinary HYP and CTX-Ⅱ contents among male patients were 74.91 μg/μmol Cr and 630.77 ng/μmol Cr,respectively,which were higher than those of control groups (51.38 μg/μ mol Cr,401.32 ng/μmol Cr,Z =3.068,3.246,P ＜ 0.01).The medians of urinary HYP and CTX-Ⅱ contents among female patients were 91.07 μg/μmol Cr and 637.17 ng/μmol Cr,respectively,compared with those of control groups (88.37μg/μmol Cr,546.47 ng/μmol Cr),there was no significant difference in HYP content (Z =0.273,P ＞ 0.05),however,the difference in CTX-Ⅱ content was statistically significant (Z =2.002,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The urinary HYP contents of male patients with KBD change significantly,while the degradation of type Ⅱ collagen in male and female patients increases,and CTX-Ⅱ could reflect the metabolic changes of collagen in KBD.

Objective:To analyze the results of serum erythropoietin (EPO) in adults patients with Kaschin-Beck disease (KBD) in Qinghai Province.Methods:According to the "Diagnosis of Kaschin-Beck Disease" (WS/T 207-2010), by using clinical examination and X-ray, adults over 20 years old in KBD areas of Xinghai County and Guide County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, were divided into KBD case group ( n = 109) and internal control group ( n = 95) in July 2019. At the same time, healthy people were selected as external control group ( n = 90) in Xunhua County. Then 2 ml fasting cubital venous blood was collected from the target population to separate serum. The serum EPO level was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results:There was no significant difference in age and sex ratio among the 3 groups ( F = 0.73, P = 0.484; χ 2 = 1.03, P = 0.611). There was significant difference in serum EPO levels among the 3 groups [KBD case, internal and external control groups: (30.74 ± 26.23), (19.73 ± 11.53) and (10.83 ± 4.48) U/L, F = 26.51, P < 0.001]. Multiple comparisons showed that there were statistically significant differences in serum EPO levels between KBD case group and the internal and external control groups ( P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between the internal and external control groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:The serum EPO level in adult KBD patients in Qinghai Province is increased significantly.

Objective:To analyze the assessment results of the external quality control in iodine deficiency disorders laboratories at all levels in Qinghai Province so as to provide quality assurance for monitoring and control effect evaluation of iodine deficiency disorders.Methods:The results of urinary iodine, salt iodine, and water iodine quality control assessments at the provincial, city (state) and county-level iodine deficiency disorders laboratories were analyzed in Qinghai Province from 2013 to 2018 (sourced from the annual evaluation results issued by National Reference Laboratory for Iodine Deficiency Disorders). Among them, there were 1 provincial, 8 city (state) and 43 county-level (2017, 2018) laboratories participated in the urinary iodine assessment; 1 provincial, 8 city (state) and 30 county-level (43 in 2017 and 2018) laboratories participated in the salt iodine assessment; 1 provincial and 8 city (state)-level laboratories participated in the water iodine assessment.Results:From 2013 to 2018, the feedback rates and qualified rates of provincial and city (state)-level laboratories participated in the urinary iodine external quality control assessment were 100.0%; the feedback rates of 43 county-level laboratories (2017 and 2018) were 100.0%, and the qualified rates were 93.0%(40/43) and 88.4%(38/43), respectively. The feedback rates and qualified rates for salt iodine assessment in provincial and city (state)-level laboratories were 100.0%; the county-level laboratories feedback rates were 100.0%, and the qualified rates were > 90.0% except for 2014. And the feedback rates of provincial and city (state)-level laboratories for water iodine assessment were 100.0%; the qualified rate of provincial-level laboratory was 100.0%, and the city (state)-level laboratories were 100.0% except 2016 (7/8).Conclusions:The quality control network of Qinghai Province's iodine deficiency disorders laboratories has fully covered all city (state) and county-level laboratories. Provincial, city (state)-level laboratories have stable and reliable levels of urinary iodine, salt iodine, and water iodine; some individual county-level laboratories testing capabilities still need to be improved.

Objective:To investigate the clinical values of progastrin-releasing peptide (Pro-GRP), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA21-1), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) and human human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) detections in the diagnosis of lung cancer patients.Methods:The clinical data of 200 lung cancer patients who were admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the pathological type, the patients were divided into lung adenocarcinoma group (80 cases), lung squamous cell carcinoma group (75 cases) and small cell lung cancer group (45 cases). Fifty patients with benign lung diseases and 50 healthy physical examiners who were admitted to the hospital during the same period were selected. All the subjects were tested for the levels of Pro-GRP, NSE, CYFRA21-1, SCCA and HE4, and the differences of each index level in the subjects of different subgroups were compared. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn, and using pathological diagnosis result as the gold standard, the diagnostic efficacy of each index alone and in combination for lung cancer was compared.Results:The serum levels of Pro-GRP, NSE, CYFRA21-1, SCCA and HE4 in lung cancer group were higher than those in the benign lung diseases group and the healthy control group (all P < 0.001). There were no statistical differences in the levels of serum Pro-GRP, NSE, CYFRA21-1, SCCA and HE4 between the benign lung diseases group and the healthy control group (all P > 0.05). The levels of Pro-GRP, NSE and HE4 in the small cell lung cancer group were higher than those in the lung adenocarcinoma group and the lung squamous cell carcinoma group (all P < 0.05). NSE and HE4 levels in the lung adenocarcinoma group were higher than those in the lung squamous carcinoma group (both P < 0.05), while CYFRA21-1 and SCCA levels were lower than those in the lung squamous carcinoma group (both P < 0.05). The AUC of lung cancer diagnosed by HE4 was the largest (0.813), the AUC of lung adenocarcinoma diagnosed by HE4 was the largest (0.824), the AUC of lung squamous carcinoma diagnosed by CYFRA21-1 was the largest (0.884), and the AUC of small cell lung cancer diagnosed by NSE was the largest (0.959). The AUC of lung cancer diagnosed by combined detection of 5 indicators was 0.951, the AUC of lung adenocarcinoma and small cell lung cancer diagnosed by combined detection of 5 indicators was 0.975 and 0.996, and the AUC of lung squamous cell carcinoma diagnosed by combined detection of CYFRA21-1, SCCA and HE4 was 0.967. Conclusions:The levels of Pro-GRP, NSE, CYFRA21-1, SCCA, HE4 and other indicators have certain clinical values in the diagnosis of lung cancer and its pathological types, and the combined detection of each index is more valuable than a single index.
