Objective To investigate the distribution of measured value and the expected value of spirometry parameters in healthy children aged 5-14 years old in Beijing,and to provide evidence for clinical interpretation precisely.Methods Four hundred healthy children (198 boys and 202 girls) aged 5 to 14 years from the kindergartens and the primary schools in Beijing were selected as subjects.All of the parameters were measured by using Jaeger Masterscreen spirometry machine(Germany).Pulmonary function parameters including forced vital capacity(FVC),forced expiatory volume in 1 second (FEV1),FEV1/FVC,peak expiratory flow(PEF),forced expiratory flow at 50% of vital capacity(FEF50),forced expiratory flow at 75% of vital capacity(FEF75),and the maximal midexpiratory flow(MMEF) were collected for analysis.The expected values of the 7 parameters above were calculated according to Zapletal prediction equations(4-18 years old).The measured value vs.the expected value was calculated.Results Children aged 5 to 12 years had similar height and weight between boys and girls,and the differences were not significant(all P>0.05);while boys were taller and heavier than girls in 13-<14 years old group and 14 years old group,and the diffe-rences were significant(t=3.35,2.05,5.99,2.67;all P<0.05).The mean measured value vs.the expected value of PEF,FVC,FEV1,FEV1/FVC of children in different gender and age groups ranged between 105.0%-114.7%,95.4%-106.8%,104.6%-115.4% and 105.8%-112.6%,respectively.The mean measured value vs.the expected value of small airway function parameters FEF50,FEF75,MMEF was as follows respectively:79.7%-103.7%,70.2%-110.5%,and 81.6%-114.7%.The low limit of normal(LLN) measured value vs.the expected value of the 7 pulmonary function parameters was as follows:PEF 85.0%,FVC 84.7%,FEV1 92.4%,FEV1/FVC 98.4%,FEF50 67.7%,FEF75 60.1%,and MMEF 71.0%.Conclusions The pulmonary function parameters of the healthy children in Beijing are higher than those of the Zapletal prediction.The measured value vs.the expected value of FEV1 92.4%,FEV1/FVC 98.4%,PEF 85.0%,FVC 84.7%,FEF50 67.7%,FEF75 60.1%,and MMEF 71.0% can be used as LLN in 5-14 years old children.

Objective To investigate the condition and the related influence factors of small airway function in controlled bronchial asthmatic children.Methods Children diagnosed with bronchial asthma controlled,aged 5-14 years old without gender limitation were consecutively enrolled.Survey questionnaire including asthma symptoms in the past one month and medication usage were conducted.Physical condition and lung function were examined.Results A total of 255 patients were included in this study,and 224 patients had normal small airway function in which the level of forced expiratory flow at 50％ of forced vital capacity(FVC) exhaled (FEF50),forced expiratory flow at 75％ of FVC exhaled(FEF75),maximal mid-expiratory flow(MMEF) was 87.9％ (77.0％,97.2％),73.8％ (65.6％,93.5％),and 84.9％ (76.4％,97.5％) of the predicted value,respectively.Thirty-one patients had small airway dysfunction,accounting for 12.2％ (31/255 cases),and the level of FEF50,FEF75,MMEF were 62.8％ (59.9％,65.5％),51.9％ (46.6％,55.5％),and 62.7％ (57.2％,64.4％) of the predicted value,in which FEF75 had shown more decrease than others.In small airway dysfunction group,10 patients had conducted bronchodilation testing,and improvement rate of FEF50,FEF75 and MMEF were 41.1％,47.5％ and 41.3％,and all 10 cases (100.0％) returned to normal level.No significant difference was found in gender,body mass index,atopy,disease duration,drug usage between 2 groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion In 5-14 controlled asthmatic children,12.2％ have small airway dysfunction with a certain degree of reversibility.Gender,body mass index,atopy,disease duration,drug usage are not influencing factors.

Objective To explore the expression of TLR4/NF-κB pathway in cerebral injury resulting from DHCA ( deep hypothermia circulatory arrest ) as well as the effect of SACP ( selective antegrade cerebral perfusion). Methods Twelve pigs were randomly assigned to DHCA group (n = 6) or SACP group (n = 6) at 18 ℃ for 80 min. IL-6 was assayed by ELISA. Apoptosis and NF-κB proteins were detected by fluorescence TUNEL and Western blot, respectively. The level of TLR4 was determined through qRT-PCR and Western blot. Results Serum IL-6 level of SACP group was significantly lower at the end of circulation arrest and experiment and apoptotic index and NF-κB protein were apparently lower in SACP group (P < 0.05). The level of TLR4 protein and mRNA from SACP group decreased significantly (P < 0.05). Conclusions TLR4/NF-κB pathway plays a critical role in pathogenesis of DHCA cerebral injury and attenuating TLR4/NF-κB cytokines probably contributes to neuroprotection of SACP. TLR4/NF-κB pathway may be a novel target for DHCA.

This study was aimed to determine the solubility an d oil-water partition coefficient of main active com-ponents in Ge-Gen Qin-Lian (GGQL) Tablets (puerarin, baicalin and berberine hydrochloride) in phosphate buffer solution of different pH values and under the background of many components. Solubility of puerarin, baicalin and berberine hydrochloride in different medium pH, and oil-water partition coefficient of the octanol-water and oc-tanol-buffer system were determined by HPLC method. The results showed that the solubility and oil-water partition coefficient of puerarin, baicalin and berberine hydrochloride were varied with the change of pH, and varied under the background of components. At pH 7.4, the solubility was the biggest;puerarin was 7.56 mg·mL-1;baicalin was 17.07 mg·mL-1; berberine hydrochloride was 3.57 mg·mL-1. Oil-water partition coefficient P of these components at pH 1.0 was bigger;puerarin was 0.420 (lgP=-0.38);baicalin was 10.783 (lgP=1.03);berberine hydrochloride was 0.267 (lgP=-0.57). It was concluded that lipid solubility of puerarin, baicalin and berberine hydrochloride at pH 1.0 was better. It was speculated that better absorption in the stomach, and low lipid solubility under other pH. It was speculated that lipid solubility may be one of the reasons affecting the intestinal absorption.

Objective To evaluate the miRNA change between hypothermia circulatory arrest at different temperature and its impact on intestinal protection.Methods Sixteen piglets were randomly(n =4) divided into four groups:deep hypothermia circulatory arrest (DHCA,18℃) group,moderate hypothermia circulatory arrest(MHCA,24℃) group,cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) group and sham operation(SO) group.They were subjected to 80 min hypothermia circulatory arrest,305 min CPB or thoracotomy,respectively.Pick-and-mix custom miRNA real-time PCR panels were utilized to detect intestinal samples.miRNA expression between DHCA and MHCA were compared directly(DHCA vs.MHCA) and indirectly(DHCA/SO vs.MHCA/SO,DHCA/CPB vs.MHCA/CPB).Results Exposure to DHCA caused less intestinal miRNA dysregulation than MHCA.Besides,seven miRNAs(miR-122,miR-145-5p,miR-421-5p,miR-99a,miR-365-5p,miR-31 and miR-192)were differentially expressed between the two hypothermia circulatory arrest groups.Conclusion Better intestinal miRNA protection was provided by DHCA than MHCA.Intestinal miRNA were differentially expressed between hypothermia circulatory arrest at different temperature.

OBJECTIVES: Several countries have successfully eliminated measles, and China is making significant strides toward achieving this goal. This study focused on investigating the patterns of measles infections in Zhejiang Province, China, as well as control measures. The objective was to provide valuable insights that could contribute to the development of nationwide elimination strategies. METHODS: We analyzed measles surveillance data from 2005 to 2022 in Zhejiang Province. We utilized a joinpoint regression model to examine trends in measles. Additionally, we employed SaTScan version 9.5 to identify spatial-temporal clusters. Finally, we used an age-period-cohort model to assess the effects of age, period, and cohort. RESULTS: The age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) of measles infection in Zhejiang Province from 2005 to 2022 was 5.24 per 100,000, showing a consistent and significant downward trend with an annual percentage change of -24.93% (p<0.05). After 2020, the ASIR for measles infection fell to below 0.1 per 100,000. The majority of measles cases occurred in individuals either without an immunization history or with an unknown immunization status, representing 41.06% and 41.40% of the cases from 2010 to 2022, respectively. According to data from the National Measles Surveillance System, the annual rate of discarded measles cases from 2009 to 2014, and the annual rate of discarded measles and rubella cases from 2015 to 2022, were both above 2 per 100,000, indicating the high sensitivity of the measles surveillance system. CONCLUSIONS The significant reduction in measles incidence from 2005 to 2022 demonstrates substantial progress in Zhejiang Province towards the elimination of measles.
