Objective To understand the Shenzhen Dapeng new district and Longhua district 0~7 years old children in copper (Cu),zinc (Zn),calcium (Ca),magnesium (Mg),iron (Fc) and lead (Pb) 6 kinds of trace elements,in order to establish the reasonable dietary structure and provide a scientific basis for scientific and rational supplement of trace elements.Methods Collected 2 190 cases of 0~7 years old children for health physical examination in Dapeng New District Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital of Shenzhen form March to November 2015.According to the age,they were divided into the baby group (0~1 years old) of 637 cases,children group (2~4 years old) of 723 cases and preschool group (4~7 years old) of 830 cases of three groups.Used QL8000 automatic whole blood trace elements analyzer to test Fe,Zn,Ca,Cu,Mg and Pb 6 kinds of trace elements in whole blood,and the detection results were statistically analyzed and compared.Results Test results of 5 kinds of whole blood trace element(Fe,Zn,Ca,Cu,Mg) had different degrees lack in 2 190 cases of children aged 0 ~7,and lack of different level,lack of rate were 36.26%,32.83%,14.20%,0.64% and 0.50%,respectively.Fe and Ca deficiency in young children group was most serious,lack of Zn in infant group was most serious,other microelement lack rate had no statistically significant difference between different groups (P> 0.05).Pb poisoning rate was 15.71%,the Pb poisoning rate decreases along with the age growth,and boys than girls,the difference was statistically significant (x2=3.15,P <0.05),different gender children other microelement lack rate differences had no statistical significance between the results.Conclusion The whole blood trace element of 0~7 years old children had different lack,mainly by Fe,Zn and Ca deficiency in Shenzhen Dapeng New District and Longhua District.But Children's Pb poisoning problem could not be ignored.Therefore,to streng then the 0~ 7 years old children's whole blood trace elements level survey,microelement lack of prevention and treatment of children is of great significance.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the Type D personality and the severity of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).Methods:Consecutive patients with CSVD admitted to the Changzhou First People's Hospital between November 2020 and June 2021 were enrolled prospectively. The patients were scored on the Type D Personality Scale at admission; the scores of negative affectivity (NA) and social inhibition (SI) dimension were calculated respectively. The general data, laboratory examination data and imaging data of the patients were collected. Periventricular and deep WMHs were scored using the Fazekas visual scoring method. The total score 0-2 was defined as low-WMHs (L-WMHs), and 3-6 was defined as high-WMHs (H-WMHs). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent influencing factor of WMHs. Results:A total of 100 patients with CSVD were enrolled, including 51 males (51%), aged 67.21±9.38 years, 29 (29%) had Type D personality; 56 (56%) were in the L-WMHs group and 44 (44%) were in the H-WMHs group. Univariate analysis showed that the proportion of Type D personality, NA dimension score, the proportion of hypertension, diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride and homocysteine in the H-WMHs group were significantly higher than those in the L-WMHs group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NA dimension score (odds ratio [ OR] 18.351, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 2.780-121.135; P=0.003), age ( OR 1.134, 95% CI 1.039-1.238; P=0.005) and hypertension ( OR 7.771, 95% CI 1.525-39.607; P=0.014) were significantly positively correlated with the severity of WMHs, while triglycerides were significantly negatively correlated with the severity of WMHs ( OR 0.306, 95% CI 0.130-0.722; P=0.007). Conclusion:Type D personality is closely associated with the severity of WMHs in patients with CSVD.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of stem cell transplantation in treatment of ischemic stroke.Methods:Randomized controlled studies about stem cell transplantation in the treatment of ischemic stroke were searched from Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Ovid, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang and VIP database from database establishment to March 2021. The literature was screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and the clinical data of the stem cell transplantation patients and conventional treatment patients were extracted. The differences of baseline value and final value of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, Function Independent Measurement (FIM) scores, Fugl-Meyer Measurement (FMA) scores, Barthel index (BI), Activity of Daily Living (ADL) scale scores, modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores between the two groups were combined for Meta analysis.Results:Eighteen articles were included in the study, including 1334 patients; 668 patients were from the stem cell transplantation group and 666 patients were from the conventional treatment group. The results showed that NIHSS scores (difference in means [ MD]=3.510, 95%CI: 2.540-4.480, P=0.000], FIM scores ( MD=11.380, 95%CI: 5.470-17.280, P=0.000), FMA scores ( MD=13.830, 95%CI: 12.590-15.070, P=0.000), BI ( MD=22.100, 95%CI: 19.430-24.770, P=0.000), ADL scores ( MD=9.290, 95%CI: 3.530-15.050, P=0.002), and mRS scores ( P=0.004) in the stem cell transplantation group were significantly higher as compared with those in the conventional treatment group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Stem cell transplantation on the basis of conventional treatment has good clinical efficacy in the recovery of neurological function, improvement of activity of daily living, and improvement of limb motor function in patients with ischemic stroke.

Objective:To explore the correlations of micro-calcification load in carotid plaques and plaque vulnerability scores detected by Micropure? ultrasonic technology with 18F-sodium fluoride ( 18F-NaF) uptake ratio (tissue-background ratio [TBR]) in positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT). Methods:Baseline data of patients with carotid atherosclerotic plaques admitted to our hospital from March 2017 to November 2020 were collected. Carotid arteries of these patients simultaneously positive on Micropure? ultrasound examination and 18F-NaF PET-CT were included. The number of spots in carotid plaques detected by Micropure? ultrasonic technology was defined as load of micro-calcification: they were divided into large number of micro-calcifications group (≥5 spots) and small number of micro-calcifications group (1-4 spots). The scores of carotid plaque vulnerability were evaluated according to carotid atherosclerosis scores in Diagnostic Value of Carotid Atherosclerosis Score for Ischemic Stroke. Correlations of TBR with micro-calcification load and plaque vulnerability scores in these 39 carotid arteries were analyzed. Results:Thirty-nine carotid arteries from 28 patients were enrolled: 24 carotid arteries were classified into the large number of micro-calcifications group and 15 carotid arteries were classified into the small number of micro-calcifications group. TBR of the large number of micro-calcifications group (2.61±0.73) was significantly increased as cpmpared with that of the small number of micro-calcifications group (1.93±0.43, t=-3.657, P=0.001). In the 39 carotid arteries, micro-calcification load was 5(3, 5), while the carotid plaque vulnerability scores were 2 (2, 3); micro-calcification load was positively correlated with TBR (2.35±0.71, r s=0.519, P=0.001), but no correlation was noted between TBR and carotid plaque vulnerability scores ( r s=0.086, P=0.602). Conclusion:Carotid plaque micro-calcification load detected by Micropure? ultrasound examination is associated with 18F-NaF uptake ratio; the larger the micro-calcification load, the more obvious the uptake of 18F-NaF.
