Palladium hydrogel capped by β-cyclodextrins (Pdβ-CD) was prepared by a facile method with β-cyclodextrins and palladium(II) chloride,which were then modified onto the surface of gold electrode. The morphology and structure of the as-prepared palladium hydrogel were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), while the electrochemistry behaviors of gold electrode modified by Pdβ-CDwere investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry(DPV). The results indicated the sensor had high electrochemistry response to hydrazine hydrate in the presence of K+,Na+,Mg2+,NH+4,Ni+2,Mn2+,Cl-,NO-3,SO2-4,PO3-4,HCOO-, C6H5O-3. Under the optimized conditions, the oxidized peak current showed linear relationship with the concentration of hydrazine hydrate in the concentration range of 25-950 μmol/L and the limit of detection (LOD) of 1.6 μmol/L(S/N=3).Owing to the facile preparation,high sensitivity and selectivity,the sensor has potential applications in determination of hydrazine hydrate in real water samples

objecfive To know and compare the intelligence level of children born in different time periods in regions with iodine deficiency disorders(IDD)in Liaoning province.Methods All 7-14 year-old children from ten schools were chosen as the subjects respectively from six villages in each of the six counties and in regions with iodine deficiency,who were respectively born at the initialization of iodinated salt supplying period(1978-1980);non-iodinated salt supplying period(1981-1990);recovery of supplied iodized salt period(1991-1995);universal iodized salt period(1996-2000),respectively.Intelligence quotient(IQ)was measured by Combined Ravens Test in China(CRT-C)and Combined Ravens Test-the Rural,in China,2nd edition(CRT-RC2).Results IQ of children during the non-iodized salt period(91.9±14.3)was significantly lower than the initial supply of iodized salt period(95.8±14.6,q=8.60,P<0.01),recovery of supplied iodized salt period(99.7±14.7)was significantly higher than the initial supply of iodized salt period, non-iodized salt sales period(q = 9.53, 18.13, all P < 0.01 ),universal salt iodization( 104.3 ± 14.9) was significantly higher than the initial supply of iodized salt period, non-iodized salt sales period, recovery of supplied salt iodization(q = 20.00,28.00,10.46, all P < 0.01). Children's rate of mental retardation (IQ≤69) was higher in non-iodinated salt supplying period (6.7%, 88/1314 ) than the initial supply of iodized salt (4.4%, 21/471, χ2 = 3.85, P < 0.05), recovery of supplied iodized salt period(3.3%,48/1470) was significantly lower than non-iodinzed salt supplying period (χ2 = 15.37, P < 0.01), universal salt iodization period(2.7%, 36/1344) was lower than the initial supply of iodized salt period(χ2 = 4.41, P < 0.05) and non-iodinzed salt supplying period(χ2 = 26.34, P < 0.01 ). The IQ and intelligent retarded rates in children born during the initial years of iodinated salt supplying period were not different. The IQ of the children during ten years of non-iodized salt supplying period fluctuated in a "∪" curve, while the intelligent retardation rates in a "∩" curve.The children born during the period of recovery supplied iodized salt increased their IQ and lowered the retardation rates year after year. The IQ of the children in universal iodized salt period kept on increasing while intelligent retarded rates reduced to the lowest level. Conclusions The intelligence level of children born in regions with IDD during non-iodized salt supplying period is remarkably lower than that of the beginning years of iodinated salt supplying period. The intelligence level of children born after universal iodized salt period is remarkably higher than that of the initial iodinated salt supplying period and recovery of supplied iodized salt period, respectively.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of pedicle screw placement between computer navigation guidance and freehand assistance in the surgical treatment of isthmic spondylolysis at the lumbar vertebrae.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 47 patients with bilateral isthmic spondylolysis at the L 5 vertebra who had been treated at Department of Spinal Surgery, The General Hospital of Xinjiang Military Command from January 2020 to April 2023. All were male patients with an age of (24.0±4.3) years. They were divided into a study group (13 cases subjected to pedicle screw placement assisted by computer navigation guidance) and a control group (34 cases subjected to pedicle screw placement assisted freehandedly). The 2 groups were compared in terms of surgical incision length, intraoperative bleeding, screw placement time, postoperative hospital stay, total hospitalization cost, postoperative complications, rate of screw reposition, angle between pedicle screw and upper endplate, angle between bilateral pedicle screws, and placement accuracy; the visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score for lumbar spine function, and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were also compared between preoperation, 1-week postoperation, and the last follow-up. Patient satisfaction was assessed according to the modified MacNab criteria, and internal fixation failure and isthmic healing were also evaluated at the last follow-up. Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, showing comparability ( P>0.05). The differences were not statistically significant in surgical incision length, intraoperative bleeding, screw placement time, postoperative hospital stay, or postoperative complications ( P>0.05). However, in the study group, the total hospitalization cost was significantly higher than that in the control group, the rate of screw reposition [7.7% (2/26)] significantly lower than that in the study group [26.5% (18/68)], the angle between pedicle screw and upper endplate and the angle between bilateral pedicle screws were both significantly smaller than those in the control group, and the placement accuracy [92.3% (24/26)] was significantly greater than that [70.6% (48/68)] in the control group (all P<0.05). All patients were followed up for 7.0 (5.0, 14.0) months. Patients in both groups showed significant improvements in VAS, JOA score, and ODI at postoperative 1 week and the last follow-up compared with the preoperative values, and the improvements at the last follow-up were significantly larger than those at postoperative 1 week ( P<0.05). According to the modified MacNab criteria at the last follow-up, patient satisfaction was rated as excellent in 10 cases, as good in 2 cases and as moderate in 1 case in the study group while as excellent in 27 cases, as good in 3 cases, as moderate in 3 cases and as poor in 1 case in the control group. In the study group, there were 1 case of internal fixation failure, 1 case of spine cutting-out by titanium cable, and 12 cases of bony healing of the isthmus; in the control group, there were 2 cases of internal fixation failure, 2 cases of spine cutting-out by titanium cable, and 29 cases of bony healing of the isthmus. Conclusions:In the surgical treatment of bilateral isthmic spondylolysis at the L 5 vertebra, computer navigation-guided pedicle screw placement is safe and reliable, showing an advantage of higher accuracy over freehand placement. It deserves clinical promotion due to its satisfactory therapeutic effects.

Objective:To explore the effect of the treatment of tendinous mallet finger deformity by the minimally invasive percutaneous quantitative suture technique eight times.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with fresh tendinous mallet fingers who underwent surgery in the Department of Hand and Foot Microsurgery of Nanjing Jiangbei Hospital from April 2021 to April 2022. During the procedure, the extensor digitalis tendon in the zone Ⅰ was sutured percutaneous with 3-0 thread monofilament sutures in the "quantitative 8-stitch method" according to the pre-marked number sequence of 1 to 8, and fixed at the base of the distal phalanx via a constructed bone tunnel. Removal of the Kirschner wire 8 weeks, the brace was used to fix the affected finger in the dorsal extension. The flexion and extension of the affected finger were gradually strengthened. The function of the affected finger was evaluated according to the Crawford standard after operation and follow-up: the active flexion and extension range of motion of each joint of the affected finger and the contralateral healthy finger was measured, and the total active ranges of motion of the finger were recorded. Finger function was evaluated according to the total active range of motion (TAM) system of the American Association of Hand Surgeons.Results:A total of 10 patients (10 digits) were enrolled, including 7 males and 3 females, and the age ranged from 20 to 52 years old, with an average age of 36.5 years old. The distance of tendon break was ≤10 mm. The operation time of the patients was 20-30 min, with an average of 24.5 min. The intraoperative blood loss was minimal. All 10 cases were followed up and the follow-up period was 6 to 12 months, with an average of 7 months. Mallet finger deformities were all corrected postoperatively, dorsal skin of fingers without a scar, there were no knot exposure, skin necrosis and other complications. At the last follow-up, the mean active range of motion of the distal interphalangeal joint was 84.4° and the mean TAM of the injured finger was 265.6°. According to TAM system assessment criteria: 8 cases were excellent, and 2 cases were good.Conclusions:Satisfactory therapeutic outcome for the treatment of tendinous mallet finger deformity can be achieved by the minimally invasive percutaneous quantitative suture technique eight times. It is a simple, safe, and effective method with minimal invasion.

Oral rinses containing chemotherapeutic agents, such as cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), can alleviate plaque-induced gingival infections, but how oral microbiota respond to these treatments in human population remains poorly understood. Via a double-blinded, randomised controlled trial of 91 subjects, the impact of CPC-containing oral rinses on supragingival plaque was investigated in experimental gingivitis, where the subjects, after a 21-day period of dental prophylaxis to achieve healthy gingivae, received either CPC rinses or water for 21 days. Within-subject temporal dynamics of plaque microbiota and symptoms of gingivitis were profiled via 16S ribosomal DNA gene pyrosequencing and assessment with the Mazza gingival index. Cetylpyridinium chloride conferred gingival benefits, as progression of gingival inflammation resulting from a lack of dental hygiene was significantly slower in the mouth rinse group than in the water group due to inhibition of 17 gingivitis-enriched bacterial genera. Tracking of plaqueα andβ diversity revealed that CPC treatment prevents acquisition of new taxa that would otherwise accumulate but maintains the original biodiversity of healthy plaques. Furthermore, CPC rinses reduced the size, local connectivity and microbiota-wide connectivity of the bacterial correlation network, particularly for nodes representing gingivitis-enriched taxa. The findings of this study provide mechanistic insights into the impact of oral rinses on the progression and maturation of dental plaque in the natural human population.

Objective To establish the gestational month-specific reference intervals for thyrotropin and thyroxine in Han nationality women in iodine sufficient area of China. Methods In iodine sufficient area of China, 120 non-pregnant women and 1 118 pregnant women at gestational ages from 4 to 36 week (4 weeks≈1 month) were collected according to the strict criteria. Urinary iodine excretion and serum thyrotropin (TSH), total thyroxine (TT4), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) levels were determined in all subjects. Results During pregnancy, serum TSH increased at week 4, and then began to decrease with the lowest level at week 12, which was 35% lower than the non-pregnant level." After that, serum TSH increased gradually and finally became stable during the third-trimester of pregnancy (T3) when the level was 29% higher than that of non-pregnant controls. Serum TT4 elevated dramatically during the first-trimester with peak at week 16, which increased by 70% compared with the non-pregnant level, then slightly decreased, and became steady with 50% increasing compared with non-pregnant level. Serum FT4 initially increased slightly with peak at week 4, and then decreased gradually until the beginning of T3 without obvious fluctuation during T3. Conclusion The gestational month-specific reference intervals for TSH, TT4 and FT4 are necessary for the early diagnosis of maternal subclinical hypothyroidism and hypothyroxinaemia.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of hypothyrodism during the first half of pregnancy in the Han nationality women in iodine-adequate area. Methods TSH, FT4 and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) levels were detected in 4 800 pregnant women during the first half of pregnancy. Both gestational age-specific reference intervals and population-based reference intervals of thyroid function were applied and the corresponding prevalences of hypothyroidism were compared with each other. Results Based on the gestational age-specific reference intervals, the prevalences of overt hypothyroidism at 4th and 8th weeks of gestation were 1.03%, 0.37% respectively. At 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th and 20th weeks of gestation, the prevalences of subclinical hypothyroidism were 4.59%, 6.15% , 4.68%, 4.53%, 5.96% respectively, while those of hypothyroxinemia were 3.69%, 1.11%, 2.92% , 1.29%, 2.29%, respectively. According to the pepulation-based reference intervals, the rates of missed diagnosis of subclinical hypothyroidism were 0.18%, 2.85%, 4.10%, 3.24%, 3.21% while those of hypothyroxinemia were 3.45%, 0.66%, 2.34%, 1.29%, 1.83%, respectively. During 4th, 8th, 16th weeks of gestation, the positive rates of TPOAb in the group with subclinical hypothyroidism were significantly higher than those with euthyroidism. The prevalences of subclinical hypothyroidism in TPOAb positive group were obviously higher than those in TPOAb negative group at 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th gestational weeks. Conclusion The rates of missed diagnosis of subclinical hypothyroidism and hypothyroxinemia during the first half of pregnancy were decreased by applying the gestational age-specific reference intervals in this prospective study. Positive TPOAb is a risk factor for subclinical hypothyroidism during the first half of pregnancy.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of gestational transient thyrotoxicosis(GTT) and analyze the cause of thyrotoxicosis encountered in this period MethodsAn epidemiologic survey in ten hospitals in Shenyang was performed and 534 pregnant women during the first trimester of pregnancy filled questionaire,received physical examination and had serum thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH),free T4 (FT4),free T3(FT3),thyroid peroxjdase antibody(TPOAb),thyrotrophin receptor antibody(TRAb),and human chorionic gonadotrophin(hCG)tests.Results(1)The total prevalence of thyrotoxicosis was 9.75%(52/534)in the first trimester and the prevalence of Grrr was 7.86%.which accounted for 80.77%of the thyroxicosis encountered in this period.A total of 88.89%of the overt GTT showed only elevated FT3 level.(2)The level of serum hCG increased gradually in the first trimester.The medians of hCG were 25 300,85 220 and 81 780 IU/L 6,8-10 and 12 weeks after gestation.respectively(P=0.000).The medians of serum TSH were 1.45.1.10 and 0.84 mlU/I,6.8-10 and 12 weeks after gestation,respectively(P＜0.01).(3)When segum hCG was more than 50 000 IU/L,the prevalece of GTT increased obviously.When serum hCG was between 80000 IU/L and 110000 IU/L,subclinical GTT increased significantly.When serum hCG was more than 110000 IU/L,overt GTT increased significantly.Correlation analysis showed that serum hCG was related negatively with TSH(r=-0.402,P=0.000)and positively with FT3(r=0.165,P=0.000),but not related with FT4.Conclusions The prevalence of GTT is 7.86%in the first trimester and it is the main cause of thyrotoxicosis found in the first trimester,accounting for 80.77%of all the causes.The serological characteristic of overt GTT is mainly the elevation of serum FT3 leveL Serum hCG level is related with the severity of GTT.
