3.Association between the ratio of dietary vitamin A to body weight and hypertension in children
Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(2):267-272
Objective:
To explore the relationship between the ratio of dietary vitamin A (VitA) to body weight and hypertension among children, so as to provide a reference for blood pressure control through dietary nutritional interventions and childhood hypertension prevention.
Methods:
Utilizing the baseline survey and followup sample data from the Healthy Children Cohort established in urban and rural areas of Chongqing from 2014 to 2019, structured quantitative dietary questionnaire and selfdesigned questionnaire were used to investigate the information of dietary intake and socioeconomic characteristics of 15 279 children, as well as blood pressure, height, weight measurement. The ratio of dietary VitA to body weight was divided into four groups based on quartiles [≤P25(Q1), >P25~P50(Q2), >P50~P75(Q3), >P75(Q4)]. Generalized linear regression models and Logistic regression models were used to analyze the correlation between ratio of dietary VitA to body weight with blood pressure levels and prevalence of hypertension.
Results:
The results of the 2014 baseline survey indicated that, after adjusting for confounding factors such as demographic indicators and nutritional intake, significant differences were observed in systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) among different groups categorized by the ratio of dietary VitA to body weight (F=157.57, 44.71, 95.92, P<0.01). The baseline ratio of dietary VitA to body weight in children exhibited a negative correlation with DBP, SBP and MAP at baseline and in 2019[baseline: β(95%CI)=-0.65(-0.89--0.42), -0.22(-0.42--0.01), -0.36(-0.56--0.16); 2019: β(95%CI)=-0.77(-1.34--0.19), -0.62(-1.21--0.02), -0.77(-1.34--0.19), P<0.05]. Compared to Q1 group, the risk of hypertension decreased among children in Q4 at baseline and followup in 2019 [OR(95%CI)=0.63(0.49-0.81), 0.18(0.08-0.42), P<0.01].
Conclusions
The ratio of dietary VitA to body weight is significantly negatively correlated with blood pressure levels among children, and dietary VitA deficiency is an independent risk factor for hypertension among children. Measures should be taken to actively adjust childrens dietary nutrition and reduce the risk of childhood hypertension.

Elemene, derived from Curcuma wenyujin, one of the "8 famous genuine medicinal materials of Zhejiang province," exhibits remarkable antitumor activity. It has gained wide recognition in clinical practice for effectiveness on tumors. Dr. XIE Tian, introduced the innovative concept of "molecular compatibility theory" by combining Chinese medicine principles, specifically the "monarch, minister, assistant, and envoy" theory, with modern biomedical technology. This groundbreaking approach, along with a systematic analysis of Chinese medicine and modern biomedical knowledge, led to the development of elemene nanoliposome formulations. These novel formulations offer numerous advantages, including low toxicity, well-defined composition, synergistic effects on multiple targets, and excellent biocompatibility. Following the principles of the "molecular compatibility theory", further exploration of cancer treatment strategies and methods based on elemene was undertaken. This comprehensive review consolidates the current understanding of elemene's potential antitumor mechanisms, recent clinical investigations, advancements in drug delivery systems, and structural modifications. The ultimate goal of this review is to establish a solid theoretical foundation for researchers, empowering them to develop more effective antitumor drugs based on the principles of "molecular compatibility theory".

Objective:To explore the changes in number and immune function of mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells in peripheral blood of patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML),and its correlation with the occurrence and development of AML. Methods:Seventy-five clinical samples of patients with newly diagnosed AML and 48 healthy control samples in our hospital from January 2022 to February 2023 were included. Multiparametric flow cytometry was used to detect the number of MAIT cells,membrane surface markers,effector phenotypes and functional indicators in the samples. Results:Compared with healthy controls,the percentage of MAIT cells in CD3+T cells in peripheral blood of newly diagnosed AML patients was significantly reduced (P<0.001). The percentage of MAIT cells in all CD3+T cells in bone marrow of AML patients was similar to that in peripheral blood (P>0.05). Most of MAIT cells in peripheral blood of AML patients were effector memory T cells. Compared with healthy controls,the proportion of effector memory MAIT cells decreased (P<0.05),while the proportion of terminally differentiated effector memory MAIT cells and PD-1+MAIT cells increased significantly (both P<0.05). AML patients' peripheral blood MAIT cells expressed significantly higher levels of granzyme B and perforin than healthy controls (both P<0.05),and secreted significantly lower levels of cytokines such as gamma interferon and tumor necrosis factor α than healthy controls (both P<0.001). Conclusion:Compared with healthy controls,the proportion of MAIT cells in AML patients is reduced and the expression of functional markers is abnormal,suggesting that their function is impaired and may be involved in the occurrence and development of AML.
