Journal of Peking University(Health Sciences) 2016;48(3):418-423
Objective:To understand the relationship between child malnutrition and social determi-nants among children under the age of 5 in China,and to provide evidence and useful information to help policy makers develop social policies to improve child nutritional status.Methods:Information of 2 434 children aged 0 -5 was extracted from year 1 991 to 201 1 longitudinal survey data in the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS)was extracted for analysis.Child underweight,child stunting,and child wasting were defined using World Health Organization Child Growth Standards for weight-for-age,height-for-age,and weight-for-height.Weight-for-age values,height-for-age values or weight-for-height values below 2 standard deviations were considered as underweight,stunting and wasting.World Health Organi-zation igrowup software was used to calculate the prevalence of child underweight,child stunting,and child wasting.Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between child malnutrition and social determinants (household income,parents’educational level,living regions,and communities’urbanization level).Results:The prevalence of child underweight and child stunting were decreased by 64.8% and 67.8%,respectively from 1 991 to 201 1 ,while the prevalence of child wasting had remained at a relatively low level (below 5%).The problem of child underweight and stunting had been significantly resolved in China.Female children had better outcomes than male children on impro-ving nutritional status.Among all the non-socio-economic determinants of child malnutrition,children with low height mother and children had inadequate protein intake were both risk factors of malnutrition. The social determinants significantly associated to child malnutrition included:living in the western re-gions and central regions,living in low level urbanization communities,with low household incomes,and low maternal educational levels.Conclusion:In order to further decrease the prevalence of child malnu-trition and alleviate the inequity of child health,we should pay more attention to the social determinants behind child malnutrition.Besides,social policies beneficial to child nutrition promotion need to be taken urgently,the important social policies suggested by the researchers included focusing on maternal and child dietary intake,improving household economic situation,improving maternal educational level, and balancing economic development and resource distribution between different regions in China.

Objective: To prepare polyacrylic acid grafted arsenic trioxide-loaded pH-responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticles (PAA-ATO-MSNs) and to investigate their physicochemical properties, in vitro release behavior, and pharmacokinetics in rats. Methods: PAA was covalently attached to the exterior surface of amino group functionalized MSNs prepared by co-condensation method and ATO was loaded into them by electrostatic adsorption. Transmission electron microscope (TEM), small angle X-ray diffraction (SAXRD), nitrogen adsorption, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, and laser particle size analyzer were used to determine the physicochemical properties. The entrapment efficiency (EE) and drug loading (DL) of PAA-ATO-MSNs were investigated with the method of high speed centrifugation combined with inductively coupled plasma emission spectrum (ICP). The drug release behavior of PAA-ATO-MSNs was studied using dynamic dialysis method, PBS (pH 5.0, 6.0, and 7.4) chosen as release media. Pharmacokinetic behavior of PAA-ATO-MSNs after iv injection in rats was studied. Results: Morphology of PAA-ATO-MSNs was spherical and the mean particle size, Zeta potential, EE, and DL of PAA-ATO-MSNs were (158.60 ± 1.32) nm, (-28.40 ± 0.34) mV, (40.95 ± 3.21)%, and (11.42 ± 1.75)%, respectively. In vitro release behavior of PAA-ATO-MSNs showed pH-responsive characteristic and the cumulative release amount was increased with the decrease of pH value.

ABSTACT OBJECTIVE:To study the formation technology of Ibuprofen dropping pills and determine the dissolution in vitro. METHODS:Based on single factor test and with the spherical degree,drug-loading rate and pill weight variation as the evaluated indexes,response surface methodology was employed to screen the ratios of drug to matrix,drug solution temperatures and cryo-genic temperatures in the formation technology,and verification tests were conducted. The dissolution in vitro of the dropping pills prepared by the optimal technology was investigated and compared with that of the preparations sold in the market. RESULTS:The optimal formation technology of Ibuprofen dropping pills was as follows as the ratio of drug to matrix of 1∶6,drug solution temper-ature of 83 ℃ and cryogenic temperature of 7.3 ℃. In the verification tests,the self-made dropping pills demonstrated a spherical degree of 0.945 9,drug-loading rate of 99.82%,pill weight variation of 0.040 28 and drug-loading capacity of 30 mg/pill,with the actual comprehensive score of 0.972 5,deviating from the theoretical one (0.980 0) by 0.771 2%(RSD<1.5%,n=3). The dropping pills prepared had a dissolution rate of 25.36%at 5 min and an accumulated dissolution rate up to 90.12%at 30 min,sim-ilar with the Ibuprofen tablets sold in the market in drug release in vitro (f2=54.91),conforming to a first-order kinetic equation. CONCLUSIONS:The optimized formation technology is simple,stable,feasible and well reproducible,and the dropping pills which are prepared by such technology can release drug quickly.
