Aimed at developing new formulation, amorphous solid dispersion of itraconazole was prepared via hot-melt extrusion technology and compared with sporanox for improving its dissolution. According to the solubility parameter and glass transition temperature, Soluplus, Kollidon VA64, HPMCAS and Eudragit EPO were used as carriers. After screening the carriers by modulated temperature-differential scanning calorimetry(MT-DSC), the amorphous solid dispersion was prepared successfully and characterized by MT-DSC, polarized light microscope(PLM), X-ray powder diffraction(XRPD)and Fourier Transform InfraRed(FT-IR). Results suggested that the amorphous form of ITZ solid dispersion and whether the interaction between polymer and ITZ was appeared. Using 30% and 50% drug loading, solid dispersion were tested by in vitro dissolution and kinetic solubility tests. When using Soluplus(3 ∶7)as carrier and extrusion temperature of 170 ℃, dissolution rate of itraconazole was improved significantly compared to Sporanox. In 40 ℃, 75% RH condition, itraconazole in the solid dispersion was amorphous for 30 d with no crystal observed. MT-DSC indicated the molecular level miscibility between Soluplus and amorphous itraconazole was probably the main cause of solubilization. The result from this research help understanding the solublization of amorphous itraconazole and future formulation development.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(8):1171-1175
Objective:
To analyze the prevalence of comorbidity of spinal curvature abnormality and malnutrition among primary and secondary school students aged 10-18 years in Tianjin in 2023, so as to provide scientific basis for the combined prevention of common diseases and multiple diseases among students and the construction of school health system.
Methods:
In September to October 2023, 31 884 primary and secondary school students aged 10 to 18 years in Tianjin were selected using stratified cluster random sampling. Abnormal spinal curvature in children and adolescents was assessed by Sereening of Spinal Curvature Abnormality of Children and Adolescents, while stunting, wasting, overweight, and obesity were determined according to the Screening for Malnutrition among Schoolage Children and Adolescents and Screening for Overweight and Obesity among Schoolage Children and Adolescents. The χ2 test was used to compare betweengroup differences in coprevalence, and multiple Logistic regression models were used to analyze the risk of different comorbidity types in different clusters.
Results:
The coprevalence of spinal curvature abnormality and malnutrition among primary and secondary school students in Tianjin was 1.6%, which was higher for girls than boys (1.8%, 1.4%), higher (2.5%) for senior high schools than for junior high schools and elementary schools (2.0%, 0.5%), and higher in rural than in urban areas (2.1%, 1.1%) (χ2=9.45, 141.92, 46.94, P<0.05). Multiple Logistic regression models showed that junior high school girls had a higher risk of incorrect posture comorbid with stunting and wasting (OR=4.52, 95%CI=1.84-11.06) and incorrect posture comorbid with overweight and obesity (OR=2.67, 95%CI=1.74-4.10) than boys, and that scoliosis/sagittal spinal abnormality comorbid with stunting and wasting (OR=0.10, 95%CI=0.02-0.44) risk was lower than that of boys, senior high school girls had a lower risk of scoliosis/sagittal spinal abnormality comorbid with overweight and obesity (OR=0.27, 95%CI=0.11-0.66) (P<0.05).
Conclusions
The coprevalence of spinal curvature abnormality and malnutrition is specific among primary and secondary school students in Tianjin, and the comorbidity type varies by gender and education stage. There is a need to increase prevention and control of spinal curvature abnormalities in school health working, intensive screening of key populations, and timely intervention.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the current status and trend of opioids consumption in China, and to provide reference for rational use of opioids. METHODS: Purchasing data on five opioids as fentanyl, morphine, pethidine, oxycodone and hydromorphone, were extracted from the database of the Medicine Economic Information Network from 2014 to 2016. Drug consumption was measured by the daily dose per million population (unit: S-DDD), and the consumption amount of all opioids and different dosage forms (including oral dosage form, injection and other form) in China and different districts were analyzed and compared. RESULTS: The consumption amount of five opioids increased from 69.62 S-DDD in 2014 to 78.64 S-DDD in 2016. The consumption amount of hydromorphone and oxycodone showed an upward trend, while the consumption amount of morphine was basically unchanged, and the consumption amount of fentanyl and pethidine showed a downward trend. The consumption amount of oral dosage form increased from 39.77 S-DDD in 2014 to 45.61 S-DDD in 2016, the consumption amount of the injection increased from 20.74 S-DDD in 2014 to 24.23 S-DDD in 2016, and the consumption amount of other form decreased from 9.11 S-DDD in 2014 to 8.81 S-DDD in 2016. The consumption amount of oral dosage form was around twice that of injection, with the gap expanding yearly. Regionally, the consumption amount of five opioids in the eastern region was the highest, followed by the western region, and the lowest but the highest growth rate in the central region from 2014 to 2016 (in 2016, consumption amount of eastern, western and central regions were 94.04, 67.90, 63.78 S-DDD, with increase rate of 8.50%, 11.77%, 16.17%, compared with 2014). Morphine was the most widely used drug in all regions, followed by fentanyl; in the eastern and central regions, the use of oral and injection dosage form increased year by year; in western region, the use of oral dosage forms increased while that of injection decreased year by year. CONCLUSIONS: The opioids consumption in China is increasing overall, with regional differences. Nonetheless, the overall consumption is still low. On the premise of strict supervision, it is necessary to take measures to promote the rational use of opioids in different areas.

Objective:To investigate the association of urinary cadmium levels with peripheral leukocyte classification counts among middle-aged and older adults aged 40 to 89 years in selected areas of China.Methods:The research was based on the survey of the impact of soil quality of agricultural land on human health in typical areas conducted in 2019-2020. A total of 5 600 middle-aged and older adults aged 40 to 89 years were included by using a multi-stage stratified random sampling method. Baseline characteristics of the subjects were collected and physical examinations were performed. Random midstream urine was collected to measure urinary cadmium and urinary creatinine and fasting venous blood was collected to measure the leukocyte count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, monocyte count and eosinophil count. The linear mixed effect model was used to analyse the association of urinary cadmium levels with leukocyte classification counts, and the dose-response relationship between them was analyzed by using the restricted cubic spline (RCS) function.Results:The age of the subjects was (63.17±12.02) years; 2 851 (50.91%) were males; and the M ( Q 1, Q 3) of urinary creatinine-corrected urinary cadmium levels was 2.69 (1.52, 4.69) μg/g·creatinine. After adjusting for confounding factors, the results of linear mixed effects model analysis showed that for each 1-unit increase in urinary creatinine-corrected urinary cadmium level, the percentage change [% (95% CI)] of leukocyte count and lymphocyte count was -1.70% (-2.61%, -0.79%) and -1.57% (-2.86%, -0.26%), respectively. RCS function showed a negative linear relationship between urinary creatinine-corrected urinary cadmium levels and leukocyte counts and lymphocyte counts, respectively (all Pnon-linear>0.05). Conclusion:Urinary cadmium levels are negatively associated with leukocyte count and lymphocyte count among middle-aged and older adults aged 40 to 89 years in selected areas of China.

Objective:To describe the prevalence of psychological distress and to analyze its influencing factors among Chinese children and adolescents aged 9-18 years in 2019.Methods:Data was from the 2019 Chinese National Survey on Students' Constitution and Health, and 148 892 children and adolescents were included. Psychological distress was measured using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10): scores ≤19 were defined as no psychological distress, scores between 20-24 were defined as mild psychological distress, scores between 25-29 were defined as moderate psychological distress, and scores ≥30 were defined as severe psychological distress (moderate to severe psychological distress were defined as high psychological distress). The ANOVA, t test, and χ2 test were used to compare the differences in K10 scores and high psychological distress rates among children and adolescents with different characteristics. The ANOVA and trend χ2 test were used to analyze the trends. Modified-Poisson regression models were used to determine influencing factors of high psychological distress. Results:The K10 scores for Chinese children and adolescents aged 9-18 years in 2019 was 21.5±9.2, and their rate of high psychological distress was 31.6%. The rates of high psychological distress among children and adolescents aged 9-12, 13-15, and 16-18 years were 22.3%, 35.9%, and 38.8%. K10 scores and rates of high psychological distress showed an increasing trend as age increased (trends test all P<0.001). K10 scores and rates of high psychological distress were higher among children and adolescents who were older, female, rural, in areas with medium to low GDP per capita level, and with lower parental education (all P<0.001). Multifactorial modified-Poisson regression analysis showed that children and adolescents aged 13-15 years, 16-18 years, female, rural, and in areas with low to moderate GDP per capita level were at higher risk of high psychological distress (all P<0.05), with a OR (95% CI) of 1.55 (1.52-1.58), 1.66 (1.63-1.69), 1.07 (1.05-1.09), 1.02 (1.01-1.04), 1.10 (1.07-1.12). Children and adolescents in areas with medium to high GDP per capita level, whose father had a secondary or high school degree, whose father had a college degree or above, whose mother had a secondary or high school degree, and whose mother had a college degree or above were at lower risk of high psychological distress (all P<0.05), with a OR (95% CI) of 0.96 (0.94-0.98), 0.92 (0.90-0.93), 0.84 (0.82-0.86), 0.95 (0.93-0.97), 0.86 (0.83-0.88). Conclusions:The prevalence of psychological distress was high among Chinese children and adolescents aged 9-18 years in 2019, which is a vital problem. Mental health interventions need to be implemented among children and adolescents that were older, girls, rural, live in areas with lower economic levels, and whose parents have a lower education level.
