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 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.

Objective:To evaluate the role of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + )-mediated deacetylation activity of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) in endotoxin-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice. Methods:Twenty-five SPF clean-grade healthy male C57BL/6 mice including 10 wild-type (WT) and 15 NMNAT1 conditional-knockout (KO) mice, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 20-25 g, were selected.The WT mice were divided into 2 groups ( n=5 each) using a random number table method: control group (group WT+ C) and ALI group (group WT+ ALI). The KO mice were divided into 3 groups ( n=5 each) using a random number table method: control group (group KO+ C), ALI group (group KO+ ALI) and ALI plus NAD + precursor substances nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) group (KO+ LPS+ NMN group). ALI was produced with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 15 mg/kg injected intravenously.NMN 500 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 1 h before injection of LPS in KO+ ALI+ NMN group, while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in control group.Blood samples were collected from the abdominal aorta at 12 h after LPS or normal saline injection for blood gas analysis, and the animals were then sacrificed and the lung tissues were removed for microscopic examination of pathologic changes which were scored and for determination of wet/dry weight ratio (W/D ratio), and interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) contents (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay)and content of NAD + (using a spectrophotometer) and levels of SIRT1, acetylated nuclear factor kappaB (Ac-NF-κB), acetylated p53 (Ac-p53), acetylated FoxO1 (Ac-FoxO1) and acetylated PGC1α (Ac-PGC1α) (by Western blot). Results:Compared with group C, pH value and PaO 2 were significantly decreased, the PaCO 2, W/D ratio, lung injury score, contents of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α and NAD + were increased, expression of SIRT1 was up-regulated, and expression of Ac-NF-κB, Ac-p53, Ac-FoxO1 and Ac-PGC1α was down-regulated in group ALI ( P<0.05). Compared with group WT+ ALI, pH value and PaO 2 were significantly decreased, the PaCO 2, W/D ratio, lung injury score, contents of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α were increased, NAD + content was decreased, expression of SIRT1 was down-regulated, and expression of Ac-NF-κB, Ac-p53, Ac-FoxO1 and Ac-PGC1α was up-regulated in group KO+ ALI ( P<0.05). Compared with group KO+ ALI, pH value and PaO 2 were significantly increased, the PaCO 2, W/D ratio, lung injury score, contents of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α were decreased, NAD + content was increased, expression of SIRT1 was up-regulated, and expression of Ac-NF-κB, Ac-p53, Ac-FoxO1 and Ac-PGC1α was down-regulated in group KO+ ALI+ NMN ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The enhanced NAD + -mediated deacetylation activity of SIRT1 is involved in the endogenous protective mechanism in mice with endotoxin-induced ALI.

Objective To explore the relationships between inappropriate parenting styles,emotional regulation strategies and self-injury.Methods A total of 1 096 medical students anonymously completed adolescents self-harm scale,emotion regulation scale (ERS) and the rejection and over-protection subscales of parental bonding instrument (PBI).Results The scores of paternal rejection,maternal rejection,paternal over-protection,maternal over-protection,cognitive reappraisal,expression suppression and self-injury were (4.3±3.3),(3.9±3.0),(5.7±3.3),(6.1±3.5),(36.1±6.7),(25.7±7.4) and (1.0±2.9),respectively.The scores of self-injury were positively correlated with the scores of paternal rejection,maternal rejection,paternal over-protection,maternal over-protection and expression suppression (r =0.08-0.20,P＜ 0.01),meanwhile negatively correlated with the scores of cognitive reappraisal(r=-0.10,P＜0.01).Cognitive reappraisal mediated the relationship between parental rejection and self-injury,which accounted for 9.3％.Expression suppression mediated the relationship between parental rejection,parental over-protection and self-injury,which accounted for 14.5％ and 17.9％,respectively.Conclusion The emotion regulation strategy act as a mediator between the inappropriate parental styles and self-injury in medical students.In addition,different emotion regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal and expression suppression) play different roles in such relationship.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of blood lactate (Lac) level in sepsis patients with or without diabetes.Methods 106 patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from April 2015 to November 2016 were enrolled. The patients with age > 18 years and the length of hospital stay > 24 hours were included. Records including blood Lac, serum creatinine (SCr), white blood cell count (WBC), platelet count (PLT), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) on the first day of admission; minimum oxygen index (PaO2/FiO2) in 3 days after admission; mechanical ventilation, whether there was a history of diabetes, usage of biguanides, etiology control treatment, usage of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) were collected. According to the level of blood Lac patients were divided into high Lac group (Lac > 2 mmol/L) and low Lac group (Lac ≤ 2 mmol/L);based on their diabetic history, sepsis patients were divided into the diabetes group and non-diabetes group. The survival curve of each group was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier regression analysis, and the factors influencing the prognosis were analyzed by multivariate Cox regression analysis.Results There were 76 males and 30 females sepsis patients, with an average age of (68.1±14.7) years old. In the 51 patients of low Lac group, there were 7 patients who suffered from diabetes. While in the 55 patients of high Lac group, there were 12 patients who suffered from diabetes. Compared with low Lac group, high Lac group had a higher age, higher SOFA score, and a lower proportion of patients who had the treatment of etiology control (allP < 0.05). There was no significant difference of blood Lac in sepsis patients with diabetes and those without diabetes (mmol/L: 3.03±2.73 vs. 2.81±2.40,P > 0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the 90-day survival rate in the high Lac group was significantly lower than that in the low Lac group (56.36% vs. 90.20%,χ2 = 0.697,P = 0.008). The high Lac group without diabetes had lower survival rate, and the 90-day survival rate was significantly lower than that of the low Lac group without diabetes (58.14% vs. 90.90%,χ2 = 7.152,P = 0.007); there was no significant difference in 90-day survival rate between the high Lac group and the low Lac group with diabetes (50.00% vs. 85.71%,χ2 = 0.012,P = 0.914). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that blood Lac was an independent risk factor for the prognosis of sepsis patients [odds ratio (OR) = 3.863, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.237-12.060,P = 0.020]. After stratification according to their diabetic history, the blood Lac was an independent risk factor for the prognosis of sepsis patients without diabetes (OR = 4.816, 95%CI = 1.407-15.824, P = 0.010), but the blood Lac had no effect on the prognosis of sepsis patients with diabetes (OR = 0.000, 95%CI =0.000-1.103,P = 0.270).Conclusions The predictive value of blood Lac on sepsis patients with or without diabetes was different. The blood Lac was related with the prognosis of sepsis patients without diabetes, while further study should be conducted for the prognostic value of blood Lac in sepsis patients with diabetes, and it's possible to increase the cut-off-point of Lac level in these patients.
