Objective · To obtain the latest data on phospholipid composition of human milk in Shanghai and compare the differences in phospholipid composition at different lactation stages. Methods · Healthy postpartum women who delivered full-term infants in the Obstetrical Department of Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine between April and July, 2016 were enrolled. The colostrum, transitional milk, and mature milk were collected at Day 3, 10, and 45 after delivering babies, respectively. Human milk fat was extracted with Folch's method and phospholipids were separated with solid phase extraction (SPE). The phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, and sphingomyelin were quantitatively analyzed with HPLC/VWD. The differences in phospholipid composition at different lactation stages were compared with univariate analysis of variance and Games-Homell test. Results · One hundred women who provided at least one breast milk sample were enrolled. A total of 70 colostrum samples, 96 transitional milk samples, and 82 mature milk samples were collected. The total phospholipid content of mature milk [(281.93±118.54) μg/g] was significantly lower than that of colostrum [(381.99±205.90) μg/g]. At all lactation stages, the relative content of phosphatidylcholine was the highest (53.74%-59.36%), followed by sphingomyelin (28.12%-32.74%). The relative content of phosphatidylethanolamine was constant (P=0.617), the relative content of phosphatidylcholine gradually decreased (P=0.000), and that of sphingomyelin gradually increased (P=0.000) during the lactation. Conclusion · Sphingomyelin and phosphatidylcholine are major components of human milk phospholipids. The amount of phospholipids varies during the lactation. The total amount of phospholipids is lower in mature milk than in colostrum and transitional milk. The relative content of phosphatidylethanolamine is consistent at all lactation stages, the relative content of phosphatidylcholine gradually decreases, and that of sphingomyelin gradually increases.

BACKGROUND: Having breakfast everyday is a behavior promoting health recommended WHO, while it is easy to be ignored.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the breakfast habits of pupils in Beijing and Shanghai so as to provide a scientific basis for further studying the problems in having breakfast among the pupils, drafting and developing "nutritious breakfast program for students".DESIGN: Stratified and cluster sampling and investigation study were used based on the pupils.SETTING: Institute of health for child of two universities.SUBJECTS: A total of 8688 six to eleven years old Beijing and Shanghai pupils were involved from March 2002 to June 2002. Among them 4692 pupils came from Beijing. There were 4637 valid questionnaires, 2386 of which were from male pupils and 2251 from female pupiIs. Among the total subjects, there were 4300 Shanghai pupils, and 4051 questionnaires were valid, of which 2031 were from the male pupils and 2020 from female students.METHODS: A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted. The content of the questionnaire included the general conditions of the family, dietary preferences, food for breakfast, consumption of the milk food and so on.RESULTS: The results showed that about 25.8% boys and 21.6% girls in Beijing did not eat breakfast regularly; similarly, the percentage was about 11.4% for boys and 13.3% for girls in Shanghai. The reasons for not having breakfast included the following: They had no appetite, or had no enough time for it, or the parents were too busy to prepare in the mornings. For those of them who eat breakfasts, the nutrients of their breakfast usually were not adequate. 55% of the students had their breakfast prepared by their mothers. As for the eating sites, students mainly ate at home; the next was having it on the way to school or eating at the roadside luncheonettes. The cost of breakfast was 2 - 3 yuan. The breakfast behaviors of the pupils were closely related with the behaviors of their mothers( r = 0. 4333, P < 0.01 ).CONCLUSION: It is suggested that quality of breakfast of the pupils need to be improved. The behaviors of the parents influence their children in breakfast habits.

We analyzed the best light intensity for callus induction and maintenance in Vitis vinifera and explored the mechanism of grape callus browning. Tender stem segments of grape cultivar "gold finger" were used to study the effects of different light intensities (0, 500, 1 000, 1 500, 2 000, 2 500, 3 000 and 4 000 Lx) on the induction rate, browning rate and associated enzyme activity and gene expression during Vitis vinifera callus formation. The callus induction rate under 0, 500, 1 000 and 1 500 Lx was more than 92%, significantly higher than in other treatments (P < 0.05). A lower browning rate and better callus growth were also observed during subculture under 1 000 and 1 500 Lx treatments. We found that chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid and coumaric acid contents were correlated with the browning rate of callus, among which chlorogenic acid content was positively correlated with the browning rate (P < 0.05). Peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activities were negatively correlated with the browning rate of callus (P < 0.01). The POD, PPO and phenylalanine ammonialyase (PAL) expression levels were positively correlated with the browning rate at P < 0.05 or P < 0.01. An appropriate light intensity for the tissue culture of Vitis vinifera was 1 000-1 500 Lx, higher or lower light intensities significantly impaired normal callus growth.

Objectives To explore the efficacy of CaNa2EDTA in the treatment of chronic moderate lead poisoning, so as to optimize the chelation therapy for lead poisoning in children. Methods The clinical data of 14 patients with chronic moderate lead poisoning treated with CaNa2EDTA for 3 consecutive courses of lead removal during September 2014 to December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. Twenty-four hour urinary lead levels during hospitalization were analyzed. The changes of blood lead levels before treatment, 3 days, and 5 days after treatment were also analyzed. Results In the 14 children (4 males and 10 females) average age was 2.35±1.47 years. After treatment with CaNa2EDTA for 3 consecutive courses, the blood lead levels were decreased significantly in all the patients, and the blood lead levels at 3 days after treatment were 0.76, 0.77, 0.72 times those at 5 days after treatment respectively. The decrease of blood lead levels per unit of drug in the first 3 days of treatment were significantly higher than those in 5 days of treatment (P<0.05). The decrease of blood lead levels at 3 days after treatment was 0.65, 0.71, 0.70 times , those in 5 days' treatment respectively. The decrease of urine lead levels per unit of drug in the first 3 days of treatment were significantly higher than those in 5 days of treatment (P<0.05). Conclusions CaNa2EDTA has an obvious effect on removal of lead.The efficiency of lead removal in 3 days of treatment was higher than in 5 days of treatment. Thus, a course of treatment for 3 days may be an altenative for a course of 5 days.

OBJECTIVE:To study the hypoglycemic effects of Insulin self-microemulsion for parenteral administration on mod-el rats with type 1 diabetes in vivo. METHODS:Rats were treated with streptozotocin(50 mg/kg)to reproduce model with type 1 diabetes,ip. The model rats were randomly divided into model group (normal saline),positive control group (Insulin injection 2.25 u/kg) and self-microemulsion low,medium and high dose groups (Insulin self-microemulsion 4.5,9 and 18 u/kg);and 10 normal rats were involved in sham-operation group (normal saline). Anesthesia and operation were conducted for all rats. Positive control group was administrated,ip;other rats were parenterally administrated. The blood glucose levels in groups were detected be-fore and after 15-600 min administration. Glucose tolerance test was conducted for the rats in normal control group,model group without glucose,model group with glucose and microemulsion group (Insulin self-microemulsion 9 u/kg). All group were given glucose except model group without glucose. RESULTS:Compared with sham-operation group,the blood glucose levels in model group within 0-240 min were increased,with significant difference(P<0.05). Compared with model group,there was hypoglyce-mic trend in positive control group after 15 min,the blood glucose levels within 30-480 min were decreased,the hypoglycemic peak was 36%,and the peak time was 30 min;there was also hypoglycemic trend in microemulsion low,medium and high dose groups after 30 min,the blood glucose levels within 45-360 min were decreased,hypoglycemic peak was 18%-21%,and the peak time was 90-120 min,with significant differences (P<0.01 or P<0.05). All rats had glucose absorption peak except for model group without glucose in glucose tolerance test,and glucose of rats in microemulsion group reached its peak and then quickly de-creased. CONCLUSIONS:Insulin self-microemulsion can obviously reduce the blood glucose of model rats with type 1 diabetes.
