Objective To assess the effectiveness of different concentration of iodized salt for preventing iodine deficiency disorders. Methods Using the principle and method of systematic review, we searched Cochrane Library(from 1994 to Mar. 2007), Medline(from 1966 to Mar. 2007), BA(from 1969 to Mar. 2007), PubMed(from 1950 to Mar. 2007), OC1D(from 1950 to Mar. 2007), ISI Web of Knowledge(from 1966 to Mar. 2007), Vip (from 1989 to Mar. 2007), Wanfang(from 1997 to Mar. 2007), CBMDisc(from 1978 to Mar. 2007) and CNKI(1994 to Mar. 2007) and hand searched 6 relevant Chinese journals, including Chinese Journal of Preventive Medicine, Chinese Journal of Endemiology, Chinese Journal of Epidemiology, Chinese Journal of Control of Endemic Disease, Endemic Diseases Bulletin and Modern Preventive Medicine. We screened the for eligible studies according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria to be rigorously evealuatecl descriptly and qualitatively. Results Thirteen studies were included, of which, the first six were intervention trials with comparison, including two community intervention trials, which classified all objects into different groups, using iodized salt at different concentration as intervention, four were RCTs with different intervention methods, compare the iodized salt with other intervention measures. Seven were cross-sectional studies, which analyzed the iodine nutrition of people after the concentration of iodized salt was lowered down. Because of different interventions in control groups and different outcome measures, it was difficult to perform recta-analysis, a descriptive analysis of the results was presented. Most studies showed that urinary iodine level decreased as the concentration of iodized salt went down gradually. When the concentration of iodized salt went down to the best level recommended, goiter rate decreased obviously. Conclusions Iodized salt was considered as the hest method of iodine supply to prevent iodine deficiency disorders. But effectiveness of preventing iodine deficiency disorders with various concentration of iodized salt is different. To lower the concentration of iodized salt properly can not only prevent iodine deficiency disorders but also reduce the side effect of excess iodine intake to the minimum. And it can also save a lot of iodine resource. Well-designed community-based intervention trials with large sample size are needed to confirm the effect of different concentration of iodized salt on preventing iodine deficiency disorder.

Objective To determine the effects of the"double random"supervision model of public places in Yangpu District, Shanghai. Methods Using the"double random"data of public places in Yangpu District of Shanghai from 2018 to 2019, we determined the proportion of unqualified public places assessed by daily supervision and"double random"supervision in 2018 and 2019. Moreover, we identified that if the public places that had been penalized in 2018 would be penalized in 2019, which may reflect the effects of the"double random"supervision model. Results The proportion of unqualified public places assessed by"double random"supervision was significantly higher than daily supervision in 2018(χ² = 58.04, P < 0.05)and 2019(χ² = 79.24, P < 0.05);however, the proportion of being penalized in the following year between"double random"supervision and daily supervision had no significant difference(χ² = 1.81, P = 0.18). Conclusion "Double random"supervision may be easier to identify the problems of the supervision subjects than daily supervision; however, it warrants continual efforts to consolidate the regulatory effects.

ObjectiveTo establish a new method with low usage amount of arsenic trioxide for measuring 300 - 1200 μg/L high concentration iodine in urine by As3+-Ce4+ catalytic spectrophotometry using ammonium persulfate digestion, which would be convenient for monitoring urinary iodine in excessive iodine regions and to reduce environmental arsenic pollution. Methods Calibrators and urine samples(0.20 ml each) were digested according to the current standard detection method of urinary iodine(WS/T 107-2006). At the same time, improving the current standard method, the amount of arsenious acid solution was reduced from 0.100 moL/L H3AsO3 (containing NaCl 25 g/L) 2.5 ml to 0.025 mol/L H3AsO3(containing NaCl 40 g/L) 2.5 ml; amount of ceric ammonium sulfate solution was reduced from 0.076 mol/L 0.30 ml to 0.025 mol/L 0.50 ml; and photometric wavelength was changed from 420 nm to 380 nm. The new method was evaluated by standard curve linearity and linear range, sample detection precision, accuracy, and the results of urinary iodine were compared with those determined bycurrent standard method, and this new method was also tested of suitable combination of reaction temperature and reaction time of cerium arsenic in the temperature range of 20 - 30 ℃. Results The calibration relation of C =a + blgA (C: iodine concentration, A : measuring absorhance) in the new method existed when As3+- Ce4+ catalytic reaction was kept at a certain stable temperature range between 20 - 30 ℃ and in certain fixed reacting time. The linear range of the calibration curve was 300 - 1200 μg/L and the linear correlative coefficient was- 0.9999. The relative standard deviations(RSD) were 1.0％(3.2/330.3), 0.4％(2.0/517.3), 0.5％(3.9/712.6) and 0.9％(9.4/1042.3) when measuring urine samples with iodine concentration of 330.3, 517.3,712.6, and 1042.3 μg/L, respectively. The total average recovery was 98.3％ with a range of 93.4％ (186.8/200.0) - 101.5％ (202.9/200.0) when measuring 4 urine samples containing different concentration of high iodine, and average recovery was 99.1％ (148.6/150.0), 97.5％ (195.0/200.0), 98.8％ (395.3/400.0), and 98.2％ (392.7/400.0),respectively. The test results of four urinary iodine standard materials were all within the given value range and the relative deviations(RD) were all ＜ 2.0％ at different test temperature, respectively. No significant difference was found between the results of the 16 urine samples containing high concentration of iodine determined by the new method and the current standard method (|t| =0.727, P ＞ 0.05). The table of suitable combination of As3+-Ce4+ reaction temperature and reaction time for this method was obtained(such as 20 ℃ and 33 min, 25 ℃ and 25 min,30 ℃ and 19 min, etc). Conclusions This method greatly reduces the amount of arsenic in waste, reduces pollution, saves reagents, and this method is easier to be performed with better precision and accuracy, which is suitable for measuring high concentration of iodine in urine.

Endophytic fungi played an important role in the growth of its host plant. To investigate the mycorrhizal characteristics and the distribution of fungi in the root, an endangered wild plant-Dysosma versipellis was collected and observed by electron microscope. The results showed that the host was closely associated with endophytic fungi. The fungi were mainly distributed in the epidermis and cortex. The aseptate and septate fungi with swollen hyphae were observed in some cell of the cortex. The result provides a reference for the study of mycorrhizal structure of Dysosma genus and the interaction between the fungi and its host.

OBJECTIVETo explore the correlation between the recurrence of cerebral infarction and aspirin resistance (AR)/Chinese medical (CM) constitutions.

METHODSTotally 413 cerebral infarction patients took Aspirin Enteric-coated Tablet (100 mg per day) while receiving routine therapy, 5 days at least in a week. They were followed-up for 12 months. Aspirin sensitivity (AS) was determined using turbidimetry. CM constitutions among patients with different AS were compared. Ratios of AR patients and AS patients of different CM constitutions in cerebral infarction recurrent patients were compared. Platelet membrane glycoproteins (GP) II b HPA-3 gene polymorphism was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Correlation between recurrence of cerebral infarction and AR, bb genotypes, CM constitutions times AS were analyzed by Logistic regression.

RESULTSTotally 11 patients dropped out, 101 (25.12%)with recurrent cerebral infarction and 301 (74.88%) without recurrent cerebral infarction. There were 152 (37.81%) AR patients and 250 (62.19%) AS patients. AR accounted for 26.6% (80/ 301) and AS accounted for 73.4% (221/301) in non-recurrent cerebral infarction patients. AR accounted for 71.3% (72/101) and AS accounted for 28.7% (29/101) in recurrent cerebral infarction patients. There was statistical difference in AR and AS ratios (χ2 = 64.287, P = 0.000). The proportion of yin deficiency constitution (YDC) was the largest [28.3% (43/152)] in AR patients. The proportion of blood stasis constitution (BSC) was the largest [23.6% (59/250)] in AS patients. There was statistical difference in CM constitutions between AR patients and AS patients (χ2 = 21.574, P < 0.01). The former 4 recurrent rates occurred in AR patients of YDC, BSC, damp-phlegm constitution (DPC), qi deficiency constitution (QDC). YDC occupied the first place [22.4% (34/152)]. The former 4 recurrent rates occurred in AS patients of BSC, QDC, DPC, damp-heat constitution (DHC). BSC occupied the first place [3.2% (2/250)]. Compared with non-recurrent cerebral infarction patients and AS patients, bb gene occurred most often, but aa gene and ab gene occurred obviously lesser in non-recurrent cerebral infarction patients and AR patients (χ2 = 20.171, χ2 = 55.139, P < 0.01). AR and bb gene were positively correlated with recurrent cerebral infarction (OR = 18.423, P = 0.000; OR = 1.304, P = 0.028). Body constitutions interacted with AS (OR = 0.707, P = 0.000).

CONCLUSIONSRecurrent cerebral infarction was closely related to AR and constitutional types. The recurrence rate was higher in AR patients of YDC. GP I b HPA-3 bb genotype might be a risk factor for AR and recurrent cerebral infarction.
