Objective To understand the prevalence of goiter and nodule as well as the iodine nutritional status of 8 to 10 years old children after changing water source with lower iodine so as to evaluate its intervention effectiveness.Methods From 2014 to 2017,Machang Village and Liangzhang Village of Haixing County in Haixing County were selected as monitoring sites in the water-sourced high iodine area in Hebei Province.Using the cross-sectional survey method,100 children aged 8 to 10 years old were randomly selected in each village,half male and half female.Dynamic monitoring of drinking water iodine content,children's prevalence of goiter and nodule as well as urinary iodine content were conducted before and 1-3 years after changing water resource.Iodine detection was performed using an arsenic cerium-catalyzed spectrophotometric method suitable for iodine-deficient and high-iodine areas (recommended method for national iodine deficiency disease reference experiment);urinary iodine was detected by arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry (WS/T 107-2006).The thyroid test was performed using the B-ultrasound method and the criterion was based on the "Diagnostic Criteria for Endemic Goiter" (WS 276-2007).Results The median iodine content of water in the two villages before the reformation was 861.0 μg/L,and it was 71.6,29.1 and 30.4 μg/L in 1-3 years after water was changed.The overall difference before and after water change was statistically significant (x2 =8.48,P < 0.05).The median urine iodine of children in the two villages before the change of water was 705.0 μg/L,and the median urine iodine of children was 306.0,143.0 and 140.0 μg/L after 1-3 years.The differences were statistically significant (Z =6.56,10.82,11.19,P < 0.05).The goiter rate was 10.3% (21/203) before changing water,and the goiter rate was 6.3% (13/205),6.4% (13/203) and 3.8% (8/208) in 1-3 years after water exchange,and the difference between before and 3 years after water exchange was statistically significant (x2 =6.61,P < 0.05).Children's nodule prevalence before and 3 years after changing water was 11.3% (23/203) and 1.4% (3/208),the difference was statistically significant (x2 =13.42,P < 0.05).Conclusion Three years after changing water resource,children's goiter prevalence is back to normal in general,and nodule prevalence is decreased significantly,which indicates sound intervention effectiveness.
3.Physical activity and influencing factors of preschool children in Nanchang
Chinese Journal of School Health 2020;41(2):197-200
Objective:
To understand the present situation of physical activity and its influencing factors, and to provide a reference for improving the level of physical activity and making the intervention measures.
Methods:
The method of random stratification was used to select 4 740 pre school children aged 3-6 from 17 kindergartens in 12 counties and districts of Nanchang City, The questionnaire of physical activities of young children and the questionnaire of parents of physical activities of young children were applied to conduct a survey.
Results:
Compared with weekday PA and MVPA, preschool children’s weekends decreased, SB increased. The differences in PA, MVPA and SB on weekdays and weekends were statistically significant( P <0.01). The proportion of PA and MVPA reaching the recommended amount during the working day of preschool children were 44.9%-59.2%, 45.4%- 61.7%.The proportion reaching the recommended amount of PA and MVPA on weekends were 24.7%-27.8%, 24.5%-29.9%, and the proportion reaching the recommended amount on weekdays was higher than that on weekends.
Conclusion
There is still gap between actual amount of physical activity and the recommended amount. There are different modes of activity on weekdays and weekends, and weekends are the least active periods. Parents and teachers should pay enough attention to the establishment of "social campus family" model to improve the lack of physical activity of preschool children.
4.Cluster characteristics of physical activities among children inside and outside kindergartens and its relationship with athletic abilities
Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(10):1560-1563
Objective:
Based on physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) variables on weekdays and weekends, the study aims to cluster the physical activities inside and outside kindergartens and to explore the cluster characteristics of different children using physical fitness indicators, so as to provide new strategies and methods for early childhood education and health.
Methods:
From March to June 2019, 291 children aged 3-6 years from 6 kindergartens in Nanchang were recruited by a stratified cluster random sampling method. The ActiGraph GT3X-BT triaxial accelerometer was used to measure and analyze the PA and SB levels inside and outside the kindergarten. A twostep clustering algorithm model was employed for cluster analysis. Physical fitness were measured and evaluated according to the "National Physical Fitness Measurement Standard Manual (Preschool Section)". Differences in physical fitness among different clusters of children were compared, and the cluster characteristics of different children were analyzed.
Results:
The clustering algorithm model indicated that based on six indicators, including PA and SB inside the kindergarten on weekdays, and PA and SB outside the kindergarten on both weekdays and weekends, children could be divided into three categories:active inside (high PA, low SB inside), active outside (high PA outside), and inactive (low PA, high SB both inside and outside). The average silhouette coefficient of the model was 0.3, indicating good clustering results. Both the active inside and active outside children showed significantly higher PA inside on weekdays, PA outside on weekdays and weekends, daily low intensity physical activity (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) than the inactive children ( F=157.91, 80.79 , 95.86, 95.52, 124.74, P <0.05). After adjusting for gender and age, the physical fitness scores of both active outside ( 19.03 ±0.47) and active inside (19.11±0.40) were significantly higher than those of the inactive children (17.94±0.31). Additionally, active inside children (3.91±0.14) also showed significantly better performance in continuous double-leg jumps, compared to inactive children (3.45±0.11) ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Children active inside and those active outside perform well in PA. Future research should focus on the proportion of structured and unstructured PA time to enhance the overall physical fitness of children.

Objective:To detect the mRNA expression and methylation status of leucine rich repeat containing 55(LRRC55) gene in pancreatic carcinoma tissues, and discuss the clinical value.Methods:Resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and normal adjacent specimens from 37 patients admitted in General Surgery of First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University were collected from May 2019 to May 2021. Another two normal pancreas specimens and two blood samples from healthy adults were also collected. All patients′ age, gender, tumor location, tumor size, tumor differentiation, TNM staging, lymphatic metastasis, CEA and CA19-9 level were recorded. Bisulfite treatment of genomic DNA and sequencing analysis was used to study methylation patterns in CpG islands of the promoter for LRRC55 gene in fresh tissues from 2 pancreatic adenocarcinoma and adjacent tissues, 2 normal pancreatic tissues, 2 pancreatic cancer cell lines (PaTu8988 and ASPC1). LRRC55 mRNA in 35 pancreatic adenocarcinoma and adjacent tissues was detected by real-time quantitative PCR and the correlations with clinical parameters were analyzed.Results:CpG islands of LRRC55 in pancreatic adenocarcinoma tissues and pancreatic cancer cell lines was highly methylated and the mean methylation rate was 53% and 71%, respectively; while LRRC55 gene in pancreatic adjacent tissues and normal pancreatic tissues was lowly methylated, and the mean methylation rate was 8% and 11%. The relative expression in the pancreatic adenocarcinoma tissues and the paired adjacent normal tissues was 0.21 (0.02, 1.00 ) and 0.98 (0.33, 3.66 ), respectively; the former was significantly lower than the later and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.003). Correlation analysis showed that LRRC55 mRNA expression level was related to tumor differentiation and CEA, but not correlated with patients′ age, gender, tumor location and size, CA19-9 level, lymphatic metastasis and TNM staging. Conclusions:Pancreatic cancer tissue and cell lines had abnormal methylation of LRRC55 gene; LRRC55 gene hypermethylation was related with its lower mRNA expression level in pancreatic cancer, which was correlated with the tumor differentiation and CEA level. LRRC55 may be a potential suppressor gene for pancreatic cancer.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of pancreatic metastatic tumors and evaluate the clinical value of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration or biopsy (EUS-FNA/B) in their diagnosis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical, radiological, and pathological data of 11 cases with pancreatic metastatic tumors diagnosed by EUS-FNA/B at the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University between January 2011 and December 2020. Tumor size, number of lesions, time interval between diagnosis of metastatic lesions and primary tumors, radiological and EUS findings and pathological types were recorded, and success rate and diagnostic rate of EUS-FNA/B were analyzed.Results:The 11 patients with pancreatic metastatic tumors had an age range of 43 to 76 years, including 7 males and 4 females. Eight cases presented with symptoms of abdominal pain and poor appetite, 1 case had cervical lymph node enlargement, and 2 cases were detected during routine physical examination. Five cases had abnormal serum tumor markers. All patients had a confirmed history of primary tumors, and the median time interval between diagnosis of pancreatic metastatic lesions and primary tumors was 24 months (-1-124 months). Seven cases had solitary lesions, and 4 cases had multiple nodules under EUS. Eight cases were initially diagnosed clinically as pancreatic lesions or tumor, while 3 cases were considered as pancreatic metastatic tumor. All of 11 cases underwent EUS-FNA/B and were histologically confirmed as pancreatic metastatic tumors. The most common pathological type was lung small cell neuroendocrine cancer ( n=4), followed by renal cell carcinoma ( n=3), and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma ( n=1), pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma( n=1), malignant melanoma ( n=1), and gastric adenocarcinoma ( n=1). Conclusions:The pancreas is not a common target site for tumor metastasis.EUS-FNA/B is a relatively safe minimally invasive method for the diagnosis of pancreatic metastatic tumors.
