Objective:
To explore the longitudinal associations between dietary macronutrients and lung function in schoolaged children, so as to provide the nutritional research evidence for promoting children s lung health.
Methods:
In November 2021, two primary schools located in Chengdu, Sichuan Province were selected from the Southwest China Childhood Nutrition and Growth (SCCNG) cohort by a stratified cluster random sampling method, enrolling a total of 1 112 school aged children aged 8 to 13 years. At baseline, the dietary and sociodemographic characteristics of the children were assessed. One year later, the forced vital capacity (FVC) of the children was measured and converted into Z scores (FVC- Z ), while the vital capacity index (VCI) was also calculated. Generalized linear regression analysis was employed to examine the associations between dietary macronutrients and lung function, considering interactions with gender and age, followed by stratified analysis.
Results:
After adjusting for confounding factors, the analysis results of the generalized linear regression model showed that the carbohydrate energy ratio was negatively correlated with FVC- Z ( β =-0.02) and VCI ( β =-0.16), while the fat energy ratio showed a positive correlation with FVC- Z ( β =0.03) and VCI ( β =0.23) ( P <0.05). The protein energy ratio was positively correlated with FVC- Z ( β =0.09) and VCI ( β =0.60) specifically in girls ( P <0.05). Additionally, there was an interaction effect of age on the associations between macronutrients and lung function ( P <0.01); in children aged 8-9 and 10-11, the carbohydrate energy supply ratio was negatively correlated with FVC- Z ( β =-0.04, -0.03) and VCI ( β =-0.29, -0.21), and fat energy supply ratio was positively correlated with FVC- Z ( β =0.07, 0.05) and VCI ( β =0.46, 0.32) ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
There are age and sex differences in the association of dietary macronutrients with lung function, with a low carbohydrate, high fat diet promoting lung function in children. Additionally, protein intake appears to have a positive influence on the lung function of girls. The early school age period may represent a critical window for dietary interventions aimed at promoting lung health.

Objective:To explore the value of endorectal echodefecography(EDF)in the evaluation of functional anorectal disorders(FAD).Methods:A total of 67 patients clinically diagnosed with FAD who underwent EDF at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from September 2021 to August 2024 were retrospectively collected. EDF was performed using a combination of transrectal and transperineal scans. XRD was used as the reference standard.Results:The diagnostic accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,and negative predictive value of EDF for common FADs were as follows:for rectocele,85.1%,84.6%,85.4%,78.6%,and 89.7%;for rectal intussusception,79.1%,50.0%,93.3%,78.6%,and 79.2%;for external rectal prolapse,94.0%,71.4%,100%,100%,and 93.0%;for anismus,82.1%,66.7%,82.8%,15.4%,and 98.1%;for perineal descent,65.7%,54.2%,72.1%,52.0%,and 52.0%.Conclusions:EDF is valuable for evaluating FAD,especially for external rectal prolapse and rectocele. It can serve as an effective complement to XRD and provide a non-invasive and safe imaging method for FAD diagnosis.

Objective:To establish a reference interval for serum iodine of pregnant women with normal thyroid function and to analyze the relationship between serum iodine and thyroid disease risk.Methods:From July 2022 to October 2023, using cross-sectional survey method, pregnant women aged 18 to 48 years old who had lived in iodine-deficient areas in the six provinces of China (Shanxi Province, Fujian Province, Yunnan Province, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Zhejiang Province, and Anhui Province) for more than six months were selected as the survey subjects. Blood samples were collected, serum iodine was tested, and the percentile method was used to establish a reference interval for serum iodine of pregnant women with normal thyroid function. Meanwhile, serum levels of free thyroxine, thyroid stimulating hormone, thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) were tested, and logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between serum iodine and thyroid disease risk.Results:A total of 1 409 pregnant women from 6 provinces were investigated, including 1 087 with normal thyroid function and 322 with abnormal thyroid function. The median serum iodine level of pregnant women with normal thyroid function was 79.74 μg/L, and the preliminary reference interval for serum iodine was 47.57 - 128.96 μg/L. When serum iodine levels were lower (< 47.57 μg/L), pregnant women had a significantly increased risk of developing TgAb positivity, TPOAb positivity, hypothyroxinemia, hypothyroidism, and autoimmune thyroiditis ( OR = 4.44, 2.91, 3.41, 41.67, 23.43, P < 0.05). When serum iodine levels were high (> 128.96 μg/L), pregnant women had a significantly increased risk of developing hyperthyroidism ( OR = 9.91, P = 0.001). Conclusions:The reference interval for serum iodine of pregnant women with normal thyroid function is successfully established. Low serum iodine levels are associated with an increased risk of TgAb positivity, TPOAb positivity, hypothyroxinemia, hypothyroidism, and autoimmune thyroiditis, while high serum iodine levels are associated with an increased risk of hyperthyroidism.

In recent years, the high temperature and heatwaves have seriously affected the health of Chinese residents, and there is an important need for public health protection guidelines for high temperature and heatwaves in China. The National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention has organized experts to fully investigate the evidence from epidemiological research on the health of populations in high temperature and heatwaves globally and in China, analyze the health hazards and protection needs of different populations, and put forward practical and effective individual protection measures and health recommendations. For this reason, the "Guideline for Public Health Protection against High Temperature and Heatwaves" (referred to as the "Guideline") was officially issued in June 2023. This article interprets the background and significance of the Guideline, the principles of compilation, the main considerations, the main contents, the implementations and promotions and other aspects, to improve the understanding of the content of the Guideline and strengthen the publicity and implementations.

Objective To explore whether adiponectin receptor 1/2(AdipoR1/R2)mediates berberine to alleviate renal lipid toxicity in mice with diabetic kidney disease.Methods C57BLKS/J db/db mice and db/m mice were selected and divided into 4 groups,with 8 in each group.db/db mice and db/m mice were given berberine(150 mg·kg-1·d-)or placebo by gavage for 12 weeks,respectively.After intervention,blood glucose,blood lipids,urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio and urinary albumin excretion rate were determined.Kidney tissues were taken for pathological examination,and oil red O staining,immunohistochemistry,ELISA and Western blotting were used to examine lipid deposition,AdipoRl/R2 expression and fibrosis markers expressions,etc.,respectively.The human glomerular endothelial cell line(HGEC)was used to verify the role of AdipoR1/R2 in berberine alleviating renal lipid toxicity.Results After berberine intervention,the body weight,blood glucose,lipids,proteinuria,renal lipid deposition,and renal pathological changes decreased in db/db mice(P<0.05);the expressions of AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 increased,expressions of TGF-β1 and Col-Ⅳ decreased,and the expressions of PPAR-α and p-AMPK increased in kidney tissue of db/db mice(P<0.05).In high-fat cultured HGEC cells treated with berberine-treated db/db mouse serum,the expressions of TGF-β1 and Col-Ⅳ decreased,while the expressions of PPAR-α and p-AMPK increased(P<0.05);after AdipoR1/R2 on HGEC cells were silenced,the expressions of TGF-β1 and Col-Ⅳ increased,while the expressions of PPAR-α and p-AMPK decreased(P<0.05).Conclusions Berberine can reduce renal lipid toxicity in diabetic nephropathy mice,and adiponectin receptor may mediate this effect of berberine.
