1.It should consider to the micronutrient deficiency prevention and control
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2000;(4):7-8
For the past years, the health sector had many efforts to deploy the nutritional program, generally, and the program of micronutrient deficiency prevention and control. Ups to now, the clinical types of eye dry due to the vitamin A deficiency leading to the blind were mainly eliminated. The nutritional anemia in women and pregnant women was also reduced. The knowledge of health staffs and people in the micronutrient deficiency was significantly enhanced.

2.Some opinions of the activities of the model of public based malnutrition control
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):31-35
An advanced cross-survey in 1997 and intervention survey after 2 years was implemented by Thai Binh medical college. Subjects: children under 5 years, communal cadres, health staffs in the village and commune, cadres of woman union, teacher of children under 5 years and collaborators. The results: collaborators were enthusiastic, the project of the public based malnutrition control were integrated with the health care activities such as EPI, ARI, CDD... show the good efficacy

3.Evaluation of effect of a community-based pattern for preventing malnutrition in children
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):53-56
The study involved 6 communes of Nam Dinh, Ha Tinh, Ha Giang, Lam Dong, and Tra Vinh provinces. The first field survey (M0) was conducted at December 1997 and the second survey was conducted after 2-year intervention (M2). Subjects of surveys were the children who were under 5 years of old and the mothers whose under 5-year children at baseline. Data was analyzed by EPI.6 program. It was found that there was dramatic improvement in pregnant woman and nursing mother health care knowledge and practice. The quality of antenatal care was improved. Rate of mother who had errors in feeding their infants has decreased. Malnutrition rate was reduced from 51.8% at M0 to 34.4% at M2. Rate of stunted children decreased from 55.8% at M0 to 43.4% at M2. Rate of wasting children was reduced from 8.8% at M0 to 4.7% at M2.

4.Nutritional Screening and Assessment in Hospitalized Patients.
The Korean Journal of Gastroenterology 2015;65(6):336-341
Nutritional screening and assessment in patients with malnutrition is the critical first step for nutritional care. Although nutritional assessment is a rigorous process that includes obtaining diet and medical history, current clinical status, physical examination, anthropometric data, laboratory data, and often functional and economic information, it is a very effective and worthy practice in terms of reducing various complications, morbidity, mortality and total medical costs. Systematic approaches with appropriate tools for nutritional screening and assessment are needed based on the clinical situations in each institute.

5.Prevalence and prevention of common nutritional risks in children after earthquake.
Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics 2013;15(6):427-430
Children have been identified as the most nutritionally vulnerable group when disaster happens. The most common nutritional risks include protein-energy malnutrition, iron-deficiency anemia, and trace element deficiency in children after earthquake. During the disaster relief, effective nutritional interventions should be performed according to the nutritional conditions of children in the affected area, so as to prevent the common nutritional risks. Timely diagnosis and treatment should be provided for children at a high risk of malnutrition.

6.Organization and the Role of Nutirition Support Team.
The Korean Journal of Gastroenterology 2015;65(6):342-345
With the development of specialized nutrition therapy and the need for interdisciplinary approach, nutrition support teams (NSTs) were created to optimize effectiveness and safety of nutritional therapy. NSTs are interdisciplinary support teams with specialty training in nutrition that are typically comprised of physicians, dietitians, nurses, pharmacists, and others. Their role includes nutrition screening, assessment, determination of nutrition needs, recommendations for appropriate nutrition therapy, management of nutrition support therapy, and monitoring. Studies have demonstrated significant improvements in patient nutrition status and improved clinical outcomes as well as reductions in costs when patients were appropriately managed by NSTs. Organization and the role of NSTs are discussed in this review.

7.Understanding Nutritional Support in Digestive Diseases.

The Korean Journal of Gastroenterology 2015;65(6):333-335
The prevalence of hospital malnutrition is still high in patients with digestive diseases, especially for those suffering from cancer and bowel diseases which cause malabsorption. It is well known that malnutrition is associated with delayed wound healing, impaired immunity, infection, increased complication, and poor convalenscence. Recently, nutrition screening and assessment by nutrition support team has become essential for nutrition management, and gastroenterologists comprise a dominant member of the nutrition support team. In critically ill patients and older people with chronic disease, nutritional support with enteral feeding and early feeding contributes to recovery and rehabilitation of patients. Securing enteral feeding routes, such as feeding tube insertion and placement of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy/jejunostomy, is an essential part of nutrition care that should be accomplished by gastroenterologists without much difficulty. It will also be necessary to recommend nutrition care as one of the clinical routines in gastrointestinal clinical practices. Therefore, education on nutrition care is strongly required as a part of gastroenterologist's training.

8.The concept and development direction of elderly oriented food.

Chinese Journal of Preventive Medicine 2023;57(11):1915-1917
Active response to the challenges posed by aging has been established as a national strategy, accompanied by continuous refinement of policies concerning aging work. Decreased digestive system function is commonly present in the natural aging process of older people, which directly affects their food intake, digestion, and absorption, leading to decreased appetite and various forms of malnutrition. It is also a risk factor for age-related diseases such as sarcopenia, osteoporosis, cognitive impairment, and frailty. Nutrition is the foundation for achieving healthy aging. In order to meet the nutritional needs of the elderly population, the Nutrition and Healthy Aging Working Group at the Shanghai Junshi Institute of Life Sciences introduced the concept of "elderly-oriented food" in 2022. In the future, there is an urgent need for comprehensive collaborative efforts to conduct a series of investigations focused on the dietary habits and nutritional requirements of older individuals, in order to evaluate the level of awareness, genuine demands, dietary preferences, and capabilities of selection regarding to the elderly-oriented food. Simultaneously, it is recommended to introduce "Guidelines for the production and application of elderly-oriented food" at the national level to promote the sustainable and orderly development in food industry.
