OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to reexplore minimum iodine excretion and to build a dietary iodine recommendation for Chinese adults using the obligatory iodine loss hypothesis. METHODS: Data from 171 Chinese adults (19-21 years old) were collected and analyzed based on three balance studies in Shenzhen, Yinchuan, and Changzhi. The single exponential equation was accordingly used to simulate the trajectory of 24 h urinary iodine excretion as the low iodine experimental diets offered (iodine intake: 11-26 μg/day) and to further deduce the dietary reference intakes (DRIs) for iodine, including estimated average requirement (EAR) and recommended nutrient intake (RNI). RESULTS: The minimum iodine excretion was estimated as 57, 58, and 51 μg/day in three balance studies, respectively. Moreover, it was further suggested as 57, 58, and 51 μg/day for iodine EAR, and 80, 81, and 71 μg/day for iodine RNI or expressed as 1.42, 1.41, and 1.20 μg/(day·kg) of body weight. CONCLUSION The iodine DRIs for Chinese adults were established based on the obligatory iodine loss hypothesis, which provides scientific support for the amendment of nutrient requirements.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of gastroenteroscopic narrow band imaging(NBI)combine with serum amyloid A(SAA),C-reactive protein(CRP),D-Dimer(D-D)in children with abdominal henoch schonlein purpura(HSP).Methods:90 children with HSP who were admitted to our hospital from September 2022 to September 2024 were prospectively selected as the research objects,of which 50 children with abdominal HSP were included in the observation group and 40 children with other types of HSP were included in the control group.All children underwent gastroenteroscopic NBI examination and serum CRP,SAA and D-D levels were detected,and serum CRP,SAA and D-D levels were compared between the two groups,and the results of gastroenteroscopic NBI examination were analyzed in the two groups.Then the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to analyze the diagnostic value of gastroenteroscopic NBI and serum CRP,SAA,D-D alone or in combination in children with abdominal HSP.Results:Serum CRP,SAA and D-D levels in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05);The results of gastroenteroscopic NBI showed that most of the children with abdominal HSP had some degree of changes in the gastric and duodenal mucosa,with mucosal congestion,edema,erosion,ulceration,and scattered bright or dark red bleeding spots as the main manifestations.Under gastroenteroscopic NBI,41 of 50 children with abdominal HSP were diagnosed as abdominal HSP,and 11 of 40 children with other types of HSP were diagnosed as abdominal HSP;the area under curve(AUC)of serum CRP,SAA,and D-D in the diagnosis of children with abdominal HSP were 0.668,0.720 and 0.771,respectively,and the AUC of the combination diagnosis of serum CRP,SAA and D-D in the diagnosis of children with abdominal HSP was 0.815;The AUC of the diagnosis of gastroenteroscopic NBI and serum CRP,SAA and D-D in children with abdominal HSP was 0.801 and 0.815,respectively,and the AUC of the combination diagnosis of gastroenteroscopic NBI in children with abdominal HSP was 0.867.Conclusion:Serum CRP,SAA and D-D in children with abdominal HSP were significantly increased,and the main manifestations under gastroenteroscopic NBI were mucosal congestion,edema,erosion,ulceration and scattered bright or dark red bleeding spots as the main manifestations.Gastroenteroscopic NBI combine with serum CRP,SAA and D-D could significantly improve the diagnostic efficiency of children with abdominal HSP.

Objective: To compare the short-term and long-term outcomes between robotic-assisted and laparoscopic-assisted radical right hemicolectomy in patients with adenocarcinoma of the right colon. Methods: Retrospective review of a prospectively collected database identified 288 right colon cancer patients who underwent either robotic-assisted (n=57) or laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy (n=231) between October 2014 and October 2020 at Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. There were 161 males and 127 females, aging (60.3±12.8) years (range: 17 to 86 years). After propensity score matching as 1∶4 between robotic-assisted and laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy, there were 56 cases in robotic group and 176 cases in laparoscipic group. Perioperative outcomes and overall survival were compared between the two groups using t test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, χ² test, Fisher exact test, Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test, respectively. Results: The total operative time was similar between the robotic and laparoscopic group ((206.9±60.7) minutes vs. (219.9±56.3) minutes, t=-1.477, P=0.141). Intraoperative bleeding was less in the robotic group (50 (20) ml vs. 50 (50) ml, Z=-4.591, P<0.01), while the number of lymph nodes retrieved was significantly higher (36.0±10.0 vs. 29.0±10.1, t=4.491, P<0.01). Patients in robotic group experienced significantly shorter hospital stay, shorter time to first flatus, and defecation (t: -2.888, -2.946, -2.328, all P<0.05). Moreover, the overall peri-operative complication rate was similar between robotic and laparoscopic group (17.9% vs. 22.7%, χ²=0.596,P=0.465). The 3-year overall survival were 92.9% and 87.9% respectively and the 3-year disease-free survival rates were 83.1% and 82.6% with no statistical significance between the robotic and laparoscopic group (P>0.05). Conclusions: Compared to laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy, robot-assisted right hemicolectomy could improve some short-term clinical outcomes. The two procedures are both achieving comparable survival.

Objective To explore the theories, content and approaches of integrating physical activity in children's eye health service system in the context of health services. Methods From the perspectives of six building blocks of WHO health system, namely, leadership and governance, financing, human resources for health, service delivery, medical technology, and health information system, we analyzed the policy framework and key contents related to school-based eye health and physical activity, and explored how to promote the implementation of physical activity into the school-based eye health service system, and the integration of physical activity into the eye health continuum: prevention, intervention, rehabilitation, and health promotion. Results In perspective of health system, the integration of physical activity into school-based eye health services should be in accordance with the five principles of cross-cutting health services, namely, universal accessibility and equity, human rights, evidence-based, life-span, and empowerment. According to the World Vision Report, WHO advocates to build a person-centered eye health service system, and person-centeredness is the core concept of the new model of school-based eye health services and physical activity integration. WHO advocates a school-based approach to education and physical activity in health-promoting schools to promote student health, physical activity as a preventive, interventional, rehabilitation and health promotive measure related to children's eye health, and vigorously train professionals within schools who have knowledge and skills related to physical activity and eye health, build an information system on physical activity and children's eye health, and promote the integration of physical activity into the school-based eye health service system. Conclusion Physical activity is an important measure to promote children's eye health and an important component to achieve a person-centered eye health service system. Based on the six building blocks of the WHO health service system, a school-based eye health service that integrates a theoretical and methodological system of physical activity is constructed, requiring the provision of health promotion methods such as education and physical activity in the school setting, to enhance leadership and governance of eye health services based on educational and physical activity approaches in the school setting, establish new funding mechanisms, provide financial security, develop human resources related to physical activity for eye health, improve related service delivery systems, develop high-quality physical activity intervention eye health techniques and equipment, and integrate information on children's physical activity and eye health into school health information systems to achieve children's eye health and promote their physical and mental development.

This is a case study of a 22-year-old National Serviceman presenting with the main complaint of insomnia. This case demonstrates possible gaps in the integration of care between public and National Service healthcare. We illustrate a pathway which primary physicians may use to improve communication with National Service healthcare.
