Objective:To understand the level of iodine nutrition in the areas with iodine deficiency and high iodine in Anyang City of Henan Province, and to provide a basis for taking targeted prevention and treatment measures and scientific adjustment of intervention strategies.Methods:In 2019, three areas with iodine deficiency (median iodine in water < 10 μg/L) and three areas with high water iodine (median iodine in water > 100 μg/L) were selected from counties (cities and districts) in Anyang City by stratified random sampling. Children aged 8-10 and pregnant women were selected in areas with high iodine and areas with iodine deficiency, respectively. Urine samples and salt samples were collected and tested, and children's thyroids were examined by B-mode ultrasound.Results:A total of 654 salt samples were collected in iodine deficiency areas, among which non-iodized salt accounted for 1.83% (12/654). A total of 628 salt samples were collected from areas with high iodine, among which non-iodized salt accounted for 6.05% (38/628). The difference in non-iodized salt rate between the two areas was statistically significant (χ 2=15.19, P < 0.05). A total of 654 urine samples were collected from children in iodine deficiency areas, with a median of 211.15 μg/L of urinary iodine, and 628 urine samples were collected from high iodine areas, with a median of 390.50 μg/L of urinary iodine. The difference was statistically significant ( U=- 18.34, P < 0.05). A total of 300 urine samples were collected from pregnant women in iodine deficiency areas, with a median of 223.95 μg/L, and 127 urine samples were collected from pregnant women in high iodine areas, with a median of 258.00 μg/L. The difference was statistically significant ( U=- 4.07, P < 0.05). The thyroid volume of 560 children in the iodine deficient areas was detected, and the swelling rate was 1.43% (8/560). The thyroid volume of 628 children in high iodine areas was detected, and the swelling rate was 2.07% (13/628). Conclusion:The iodine nutrition level of the population in the iodine deficiency areas of Anyang City is appropriate, while the iodine nutrition level of the population in the water source high iodine areas is excessive.

The effects of fucoidan on the lipidomics profiling of juvenile yellow catfish (pelteobagrus fulvidraco) during different feeding time (week 1, week 2, week 3 and week 8) were investigated by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) combined with multivariate data analysis, e.g.principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares-discriminate analysis (PLS-DA).Based on VIP and p values, 11 lipid biomarkers were screened including lysophosphatidylcholine (Lyso-PC) 16∶0, phosphatidylcholine (PC) 22∶6/16∶0, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) 22∶6/16∶0, phosphatidylinositol (PI) 18∶0/22∶6, diacylglycerol (DAG) 16∶0/16∶0,DAG 16∶0/18∶1, DAG 18∶1/18∶1, triglycerides (TAG) 20∶5/16∶0/18∶3, TAG 20∶4/16∶1/18∶2, TAG 16∶0/18∶2/20∶5 and TAG 18∶2/14∶0/18∶1.It was found that Lyso-PC, PC, PE and PI had the largest levels at the eighth week;the levels of DAG were decreased at the second and fourth weeks, and increased at the eighth week.While TAG was different: the content of TAG 18∶2/14∶0/18∶1, TAG 20∶5/16∶0/18∶3 and TAG 20∶4/16∶1/18∶2 increased in response to fucoidan, but TAG 16∶0/18∶2/20∶5 decreased little.Therefore, for juvenile yellow catfish, fucoidan can affect its lipid metabolism, which provides a theoretical basis for investigation of the influence of fucoidan on the response mechanism of lipid metabolism of juvenile yellow catfish.

Objective:To analyze the repeatability of keratometry and astigmatism values measured by the OPD-Scan Ⅲ and the agreement of the parameters measured by OPD-Scan Ⅲ and Pentacam.Methods:A diagnostic test study design was adopted.Fifty patients (100 eyes) with refractive errors, aged from 21 to 35 years old, were selected from Second Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University and Lixiang Eye Hospital of Soochow University during August 2018.Spherical equivalent, astigmatim degree and axis were measured by Autorefraction.Corneal biometric measurements were measured three times continuously with the above two instruments.Keratometry values at the flat axis (K1), keratometry values at the steep axis (K2), astigmatim degree, axis, vector parameters J0 (Jackson cross cylinder at 0°or 180°) and J45 (Jackson cross cylinder at 45°) were recorded.Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used for repeatability analysis.Wilcoxon signed rank test, Spearman correlation analysis and Bland-Altman graphs were employed to analyze the comparability.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by an Ethics Committee of Lixiang Eye Hospital of Soochow University (No.SLER2018112). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to any examination.Results:The ICC of K1, K2, astigmatism, astigmatic axis, J0 and J45 measured by OPD-Scan Ⅲ were all greater than 0.900; the ICC of the astigmatism measured by Pentacam was 0.896, and the ICC of the other parameters measured by Pentacam were greater than 0.900; The values of K2, astigmatism, J0 and J45 measured by OPD-Scan Ⅲ were greater than those measured by Pentacam, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05). The values of K1, K2, astigmatism degree, axis, J0 and J45 measured by OPD-Scan Ⅲ were positively correlated with those measured by Pentacam (r s=0.981, 0.982, 0.900, 0.737, 0.921, 0.703, all at P<0.01). The 95% agreement of limits (LOA) of K1, K2, astigmatism, axis, J0 and J45 measurement difference between OPD-Scan Ⅲ and Pentacam were -0.52-0.50 D, -0.39-0.59 D, -0.37-0.48 D, -17.29°-20.38°, -0.12-0.24 D and -0.22-0.28 D, respectively. Conclusions:OPD-Scan Ⅲ has high credibility in measuring corneal refractive power and astigmatism degree, but its 95% LOA of astigmatism axis is too large to be accepted clinically.

Objective To introduce the competing risk model into outcome prediction of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) of seniors and to explore influencing factors for the prognosis of MCI to Alzheimer' s disease (AD).Methods Data were collected from six follow-up visits to 600 seniors from communities in Taiyuan city,which were conducted at an interval of six months from October 2010 to May 2013.MCI state was defined as the transient state,AD and death before AD as two absorbing states (death before AD in which was regarded as a competing risk event),building the competing risk model to identify the model parameters,and to explore influencing factors on MCI prognosis to AD.In the meantime,the 3-year MCI-AD transition probability was estimated based on the multi-state Markov model.Results Based on screening with the multivariate competing risk model analysis,factors such as higher age (estimate HR=1.56,95％CI:1.01-2.39),female gender (HR=1.72,95％CI:1.02-2.92),higher education(HR=0.64,95％CI:0.41-1.00),reading frequently (HR=0.57,95％CI:0.32-0.99),hypertension (HR=3.43,95％CI:1.08-10.85) and high SBP(HR=1.67,95％CI:1.04-2.66),were statistically significant for transition from MCI to AD in three years.3-year MCI-AD transition probability was 10.7％(95％CI:8.6％-13.2％).Conclusion Age,gender,education,reading and blood pressure were the influencing factors for the prognosis of MCI to AD.Competing risk model was advantageous in studying longitudinal data with multiple potential outcomes.

Objective To explore the predictive value of short term cognitive assessment in the acute phase of ischemic stroke for 3-6 months after stroke.Methods The demographic data,vascular risk factors,clinical and imaging data of 254 patients with acute ischemic stroke from August 2016 to December 2017 were prospectively registered.The cognitive function was assessed by Mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) 3 weeks after stroke onset.Comprehensive cognitive function assessment was performed after 3-6 months of stroke.Multiple factor Logistic regression was used to screen the independent risk factors of cognitive domain and overall cognitive function in 3-6 months.Results Totally 254 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled.Combined with the inclusion and exclusion criteria,161 patients completed the baseline cognitive assessment,and 138 completed the comprehensive cognitive assessment in 3-6 months after stroke.Logistic regression analysis showed that 3 weeks baseline cognitive status was an independent factor affecting memory (P＜0.05,OR =62.47,95％CI=13.00-205.00),execution (P＜0.05,OR=38.29,95％CI=8.00-170.00),language (P＜0.05,OR=6.46,95％CI=2.31-18.04) and information processing speed (P＜0.05,OR=5.88,95％CI=2.24-15.41) in 3-6 months after stroke.According to the number of impaired cognitive domains,the overall cognitive function was defined.There were 61 cases of no or mild cognitive dysfunction group and 77 cases of moderate or severe cognitive impairment group.Multifactor logistic analysis showed that baseline cognitive status was independent of the overall cognitive function of 3-6 months after apoplexy adjusting for the age and education level (P＜0.05,OR=25.32,95％ CI =7.52-85.39).Conclusion Short cognitive assessment in early apoplexy can predict the short-term functional status of cognitive domains such as memory,execution,language and information processing speed after stroke,and can also predict the overall cognitive level.

Objective To study the effect of estrogen on proliferation of astrocytes in hippocampus of mice following middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO).Methods One hundred and eight Kunming mice were randomly divided into estrogen group(n=54)and saline group(n=54).The animals in two groups underwent right MCAO with tissue samples taken at 3,6,12,24,48and 72h after MCAO.The ischemic site was detected and the ischemic size was measured with TTC staining,the damage of neurons in hippocampus was assayed with HE staining,the expression of GFAP in hippocampal astrocytes was detected with immunohistochemical staining.Results The cerebral infarction size was significantly smaller in estrogen group than in saline group at different time points after MCAO(P＜0.05,P＜0.01)especially at 12hafter MCAO(31.50％±3.36％vs 54.50％±5.68％,P=0.019).The damage of hippocampal neurons aggregated with the prolonged ischemia time in two groups and was milder in estrogen group than in saline group at the same time points.The expression level of GFAP positive cells in bilateral hippocampal areas was higher when the ischemia time was prolonged and was significantly higher in ischemic hippocampus of estrogen group than in that of control group except at 6hin CA3ischemic area(P＜0.05).Conclusion Estrogen can protect mice against focal cerebral ischemia,stimulate the genesis of astrocyte synapses,alleviate neuronal damage after ischemia,and can thus reduce the size of cerebral infarction.

Objective:To evaluate the improved efficacy of transversus abdominal plane (TAP)-rectus sheath (RS) block combined with general anesthesia in the patients undergoing laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods:Fifty-six American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients of both sexes, aged 45-64 yr, with body mass index of 18-25 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy, were divided into 2 groups ( n=28 each) using a random number table method: general anesthesia group (group G) and TAP-RS block plus general anesthesia group (group TRG). In group TRG, after induction of general anesthesia, bilateral TAP-RS block was performed with 0.375% ropivacaine mixed with 0.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine under ultrasound guidance, 20 ml was injected into the plane of bilateral transverse abdominis, and 10 ml was injected into the posterior sheath of the bilateral rectus abdominis, and the tube was placed on the plane of the transverse abdominis, and 5 ml/h was continuously pumped after operation.In both groups, anesthesia was induced with IV midazolam, sufentanil, etomiddate and cisatracurium besylate and maintained using combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia, and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) was performed after operation.Pulmonary function indexes were measured before induction of anesthesia (T 0) and at 6, 12 and 24 h after removal of the tracheal tube (T 1-3). Blood gas analysis was performed at T 0, T 2 and T 3.The occurrence of high/low blood pressure, tachycardia/bradycardia, consumption of opioids, PACU stay time, pressing times of PCIA within 24 h after surgery, rescue analgesia, time of passing the first flatus, the first postoperative off-bed time, length of postoperative hospital stay, and 48 h quality of recovery-40 (QoR-40) were recorded.The occurrence of adverse reactions and nerve block-related complications were recorded within 48 h after operation. Results:Conversion to laparotomy during operation was found in 4 patients, changing the scope of resection in 2 patients, and a total of 50 patients were enrolled in this study.Compared with group G, the pressing times of PCIA was significantly reduced, the requirement for postoperative rescue analgesia was decreased, the intraoperative consumption of sufentanil and remifentanil was reduced, the incidence of intraoperative hypertension and tachycardia was decreased, the FEV1, FVC and PEFR were increased at T 2, 3, the 48 h QoR-40 score was increased, the time of passing the first flatus, the first postoperative off-bed time, and length of postoperative hospital stay were shortened, the incidence of nausea, agitation, somnolence, and hypoxemia was decreased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the indicators of blood gas analysis at each time point in group TRG ( P>0.05). Nerve block-related complications were not found in group TRG. Conclusion:Compared with general anesthesia alone, TAP-RS block combined with general anesthesia is helpful in carrying out anesthetic model of low-consumption opioids and improving the quality of early postoperative recovery when used in the patients undergoing laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Objective To examine the efficacy, safety, economic benefits and social function of conventional antipsychotics combined with agomelatine in the treatment of schizophrenia patients with obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Methods Eighty schizophrenic patients with obsessive-compulsive symptoms were randomly divided into two groups. The study group was treated with conventional antipsychotic drugs combined with agomelatin, and the control group combined with clomipramine for 8 weeks. Positive and negative symptom scale (PANSS) and Yale-Brown obsessive-compulsion scale (Y-BCOS) were used to evaluate the symptoms at before treatment, at discharge and one month after discharge. Social disability screening scale (SDSS), treatment emergent symptom scale (TESS) and the economic benefits was used to evaluate the social function, treatment efficacy and economic status. Results Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the scores of each scale between the two groups (P＞0.05). There was no significant difference in PANSS scores between the two groups at all time points (P＞0.05). The difference between Y-BCOS score and pre-treatment value was higher in the study group than in the control group (P<0.05). The difference between SDSS score and pre-treatment value was higher in the study group than in the control group (P<0.05). The TMRs were lower in the study group than in the control group at one month after discharge (P<0.05). The TESS score was lower in the study group than in the control group at discharge and one month after discharge. The cost and income were higher and the cost-effect ratio was lower in the study group than in the control group at one month after discharge (P<0.05). PANSS and Y-BCOS were positively correlated with TMR, SDSS and CER (P<0.05), but not with TESS at one month after discharge (P＞0.05). TESS was positively correlated with TMR, SDSS and CER (P<0.05). Conclusion The treatment of conventional antipsychotics combined with agomelatine in schizophrenia patients with obsessive-compulsive symptoms are safe and effective. Patients can achieve better social function, good economic and social benefits.
