Objective:To investigate the iodine nutrition status of pregnant women in Zhejiang Province, explore the impact of salt industry system reform on iodine nutrition level of pregnant women, and provide scientific basis for prevention and treatment of iodine deficiency disorders.Methods:From 2016 to 2021, a multi-stage stratified sampling method was used to select 100 pregnant women from 90 counties (cities, districts) in Zhejiang Province each year as survey subjects. Salt samples were collected from pregnant women's families, and one random urine sample was taken for salt iodine and urinary iodine level testing, respectively.Results:A total of 56 581 samples of household edible salt were collected from pregnant women, with a median salt iodine level of 23.20 mg/kg. Among them, 7 961 were non iodized salt, 45 803 were qualified iodized salt, and 2 817 were unqualified iodized salt. The iodized salt coverage rate was 85.93% (48 620/56 581), and the qualified iodized salt consumption rate was 80.95% (45 803/56 581). The proportion of non iodized salt increased from 10.05% (897/8 928) in 2016 to 15.09% (1 461/9 679) in 2021 (χ 2trend = 95.16, P < 0.001). A total of 56 581 urine samples were collected from pregnant women, with a median urinary iodine level of 130.50 μg/L. Among them, the proportions of urinary iodine levels < 150, 150 - 249, 250 - 499, and ≥500 μg/L were 58.32% (32 996/56 581), 27.24% (15 410/56 581), 12.24% (6 926/56 581), and 2.21% (1 249/56 581), respectively. The median urinary iodine level of pregnant women in inland areas was significantly higher than that in coastal areas ( Z = 19.15, P < 0.001). Furthermore, urinary iodine levels exhibited a non-linear decline as age increased (χ 2regression = 12.65, P < 0.001; χ 2partial = 22.65, P < 0.001) and as pregnancy progressed (χ 2regression = 37.28, P < 0.001; χ 2partial = 18.89, P < 0.001). Conclusions:The overall iodine nutrition status of pregnant women in Zhejiang Province is in a state of iodine deficiency (< 150 μg/L), and there is a greater risk in coastal areas compared to inland areas. However, in the context of the reform of the salt industry system, it is still necessary to strengthen the quality supervision of iodized salt, provide scientific iodine supplementation education, promote specialized iodized salt for pregnant women, and strengthen interventions for prevention and control of iodine deficiency disorders.

As a traditional nutritional and healthy cash crop in China, tea has certain significance in promoting human health and preventing and controlling chronic diseases. Studies have shown that the nutritional health effect of tea is due to its rich functional components, mainly including tea polyphenols, tea pigments, tea polysaccharides, theanine, alkaloids and other bioactive substances. At present, researchers from the academic circles have continuously carried out animal and human experiments on the health effects of various functional components of tea, which has accumulated abundant research data and materials. Based on this, this article reviews the literature on the nutritional and health effects of the main functional components of tea, and adopts the method of evidence-based research to screen and extract relevant data for qualitative and quantitative meta-analysis. Subsequently, the nutritional health effects of the five functional components of tea, namely tea polyphenols, tea pigments, tea polysaccharides, theanine, and alkaloids, are summarized and outlined. Studies have shown that tea polyphenols, tea pigments, tea polysaccharides, theanine and alkaloids have different health effects and are expected to play their unique roles in promoting human health and preventing and controlling diseases.

Objective:To analyze the iodine nutrition status of children and adolescents and influencing factors in Zhejiang Province, providing scientific basis for optimizing iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) prevention and control strategies.Methods:In June 2022, a multistage stratified sampling method was used to divide 16 counties (cities, districts, abbreviated as counties) in Zhejiang Province into three categories based on their geographical locations (average distance from the coastline): coastal areas (including Dinghai District, Jiaojiang District, Sanmen County, Cixi City and Lucheng District), sub-coastal areas (including Wuxing District, Haining City, Linping District, Fuyang District and Fenghua District), and inland areas(including Suichang County, Changshan County, Shengzhou City, Jindong District, Dongyang City and Yongjia County). One county was selected from each category, and one township (street) was selected from each county. Two administrative villages (neighborhood committees) were selected from each township (street). Ten households including all children and adolescents aged 6-17 in each household were selected from each administrative village (neighborhood committee). Demographic information and personal dietary characteristics were collected via questionnaires, while household salt and a random urine sample were tested for iodine level. Trend analysis was conducted using a χ 2trend test, and a multivariate logistic stepwise regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of urinary iodine levels. Results:A total of 755 children and adolescents aged 6-17 were selected, including 387 males (51.26%) and 368 females (48.74%), with an age of (11.24 ± 3.32) years. There were 269 children and adolescents in coastal areas (35.63%) and 409 children and adolescents in urban areas (54.17%). A total of 755 household salt samples were collected, with a median salt iodine concentration of 21.80 mg/kg. These included 263 non-iodized salt samples, 38 unqualified iodized salt samples, and 454 qualified iodized salt samples. The coverage rate of iodized salt was 65.17% (492/755), and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 60.13% (454/755). The distribution of salt iodine quality among children and adolescents in different geographical locations showed statistically significant differences (χ 2 = 111.95, P < 0.001), with the proportion of non-iodized salt gradually decreasing from coastal areas to inland areas (χ 2trend = 90.17, P < 0.001). A total of 755 urine samples were collected, with a median urinary iodine concentration of 186.60 μg/L. The proportions of urinary iodine < 100, 100-199, 200-299, and ≥300 μg/L were 16.95% (128/755), 37.62% (284/755), 24.37% (184/755), and 21.06% (159/755), respectively. The χ 2trend test revealed a nonlinear positive correlation between salt iodine level and urinary iodine level (χ 2regression = 21.98, P < 0.001; χ 2partial = 6.96, P < 0.001). The frequency distribution of urinary iodine in children and adolescents from different geographical locations and between urban and rural areas showed statistically significant differences (χ 2 = 29.63, 16.56, P < 0.001). Among them, the proportion of children and adolescents with urinary iodine < 100 μg/L gradually decreasing from coastal areas to inland areas (χ 2trend = 6.15, P = 0.013). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that sub-coastal regions, inland regions, and urban-rural regions ( OR = 1.57, 1.53, 1.64, 95% CI: 1.11-2.24, 1.03-2.27, 1.17-2.32, P < 0.05) were significantly associated with urinary iodine levels in children and adolescents aged 6-17. Conclusions:In 2022, the iodine nutrition of children and adolescents in Zhejiang Province is generally suitable, but there is a risk of iodine deficiency among coastal children and adolescents. Geographic location and urban/rural areas are influencing factors on iodine nutrition status of children and adolescents in Zhejiang Province.

Objective:To understand the genetic characteristics of varicella-zoster virus（VZV）prevalent in Qinghai province，China since 2020.Methods:A total of 54 pharyngeal swab specimens were collected from sporadic suspected varicella cases in Qinghai province in 2020，2023，and 2024. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used for etiological screening of the specimens. Sequencing of three genes，namely ORF22，ORF38，and ORF62，and single-nucleotide polymorphism（SNP）analysis were performed on VZV nucleic acid-positive specimens.Results:All 54 suspected varicella cases were diagnosed with VZV infection，and three gene sequences were successfully obtained from 53 specimens. The results of genotype identification showed that all VZV infection case specimens obtained in this study in Qinghai province were wild strains. Among them，4 specimens in 2020 were of clade 2 type；among 14 specimens in 2023，7 were of clade 2 type and the remaining 7 were of clade 5 type；among 35 specimens in 2024，27 were of clade5 type，5 were of clade 2 type，and 3 were of clade 4 type. The SNP results showed that in 2023 and 2024，one specimen each had an A→G base mutation at position 37 990，and in 2024，3 specimens had a T→C base mutation at position 37946. Among them，the sequences containing the former mutation have been prevalent and spread in multiple regions of China，and the latter has not been reported in other regions of China.Conclusion:From 2020 to 2024 in Qinghai province，at least three genotypes of VZV，namely clade 2 type，clade 5 type，and clade 4 type，co-prevailed，and the clade 5 genotype of VZV may become the dominant prevalent strain.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of remimazolam-based anesthesia in daytime laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods:In this multicenter, non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial, 300 American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of either sex, aged 18-60 yr, with body mass index of 18-28 kg/m 2, who underwent daytime laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia with tracheal intubation at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine, the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Jinhua Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou First People′s Hospital Affiliated to Westlake University School of Medicine, Ningbo No. 2 Hospital, and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from August 2021 to August 2023, were selected and divided into 2 groups ( n=150 each) using a random number table method: remimazolam group (R group) and propofol group (P group). Anesthesia was induced as follows: Sufentanil was intravenously injected at a rate of 0.5 μg/kg, remimazolam was intravenously injected at a rate of 0.3 mg/kg in group R, propofol was intravenously injected at a rate of 2.0-2.5 mg/kg in group P, and cisatracurium besilate was intravenously injected at a rate of 0.2 mg/kg after loss of consciousness in two groups. The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation. Anesthesia was maintained as follows: Remimazolam was intravenously injected at a rate of 0.5-1.0 mg·kg -1·h -1 in group R, propofol was intravenously injected at a rate of 4-10 mg·kg -1·h -1 in group P, and remifentanil was intravenously infused at a rate of 0.25-2.00 μg·kg -1·min -1, maintaining intraoperative bispectral index value of 40-60. The success rate of sedation was recorded, and non-inferiority tests were conducted. The time to loss of consciousness, emergence time, extubation time, recovery time of orientation, time of stay in post-anesthesia care unit and occurrence of delayed emergence were recorded. Liver function and renal function were measured before operation and within 24 h after operation. The occurrence of abnormal alanine transaminase, abnormal aspartate transaminase, abnormal creatinine and abnormal urea was recorded. The occurrence of adverse reactions during and after operation was recorded. Results:The success rates of sedation were 98.6% and 99.3% in group R and group P, respectively, there was no statistically significant difference in the success rate of sedation between the two groups ( P>0.05), and the difference in the success rates of sedation between the two groups was -0.007 (95% confidence interval-0.0301-0.0161), which met the pre-set non-inferiority criteria(95% confidence interval >-0.055). Compared with group P, the time to loss of consciousness and recovery time of orientation were significantly prolonged, and the incidence of delayed emergence was increased ( P<0.05), and no statistically significant changes were found in the emergence time, extubation time, time of stay in post-anesthesia care unit and severity of postoperative nausea and vomiting in group R ( P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the abnormal rates of alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, creatinine and urea before and after operation between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The efficacy of remimazolam-based anesthesia in daytime laparoscopic cholecystectomy is not inferior to that of propofol-based anesthesia.

Objective:To analyze the iodine nutrition status and its related factors among adults aged 18 years and above in Zhejiang Province in 2022.Methods:A multistage stratified sampling method was used to select 4 320 adults aged 18 years and above from 16 on-site survey sites in Zhejiang Province for the study. A questionnaire was used to investigate the general demographic information and personal dietary characteristics of the study participants. Household edible salt and urine samples were collected to detect salt iodine content and urinary iodine level by using direct titration and cerium arsenate-catalyzed spectrophotometry, respectively, to evaluate the iodine nutritional status according to the standard. The multiple-ordered logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors influencing the urinary iodine concentration.Results:The age of the 4 320 study participants was (51.19±15.33) years, with males accounting for 44.44% (1 920). About 40.16% of adults (1 735) were from coastal areas and 56.37% (2 435) from urban areas. The salt iodine content, M ( Q1, Q3), of the 4 320 household edible salt samples was 21.10 (0.00, 24.16) mg/kg, including 1 662 non-iodized salt samples, 182 unqualified iodized salt samples and 2 476 qualified iodized salt samples. The rate of iodized salt coverage was 61.53%, and the rate of qualified iodized salt consumption was 57.31%. There was a statistically significant difference in the proportion of qualified iodized salt in adult households among different regions ( P<0.001), with the proportion of non-iodized salt gradually decreasing from coastal to inland areas ( χ 2trend=618.458, P<0.001). The urinary iodine concentration M ( Q1, Q3) was 137.60 (86.85, 210.60) μg/L in 4 320 adult urine samples, with the urinary iodine levels of<100, 100-199, 200-299, and≥300 μg/L accounting for 31.64% (1 367), 40.56% (1 752), 17.66% (763), and 10.14% (438), respectively. There was a nonlinear positive correlation between household salt iodine content and urinary iodine level in adults aged 18 years and above by using the χ 2 test for trend ( χ 2regression=231.10, P<0.001 and χ 2skew=28.81, P<0.001). Urinary iodine concentrations were higher in men than in women ( P=0.029) and higher in adults in rural areas than in urban areas ( P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of iodine nutritional status among adults of different ages, regions, and urban and rural areas (all P<0.001). The proportion of those with urinary iodine levels<100 μg/L gradually increased with age ( χ 2trend=37.493, P<0.001), and gradually decreased from coastal areas to inland areas ( χ 2trend=71.381, P<0.001). The results of the multiple-ordered logistic regression model analysis showed that compared with adults aged 18 to 44 years and male adults, those aged 45 to 59 years and female adults had lower urinary iodine levels, with OR (95% CI) of 0.75 (0.68-0.83) and 0.85 (0.76-0.95), respectively. Compared with adults in coastal and urban adults, those in sub-coastal, inland and rural adults had higher levels of urinary iodine, with OR (95% CI) of 1.89 (1.63-2.19), 2.02 (1.72-2.37) and 1.46 (1.28-1.66), respectively. Conclusion:The overall iodine nutrition level of adults aged 18 years and above in Zhejiang Province in 2022 is generally appropriate. However, there is a potential risk of iodine deficiency among adults in coastal areas.
