Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(5):642-646
Objective:
To analyze the association of eating dining locations and their association with nutritional status among Chinese children aged 6-17 years,so as to provide reference for guiding children s reasonable diet.
Methods:
Stratified random cluster sampling was used to select children aged 6 to 17 years from 28 cities and rural areas of 14 provinces in East, North, Central, South, Southwest, Northwest, Northeast of China, and a total of 52 535 children were included in the study from 2019 to 2021. Information including dining locations, demographic characteristics, dietary intakes and physical activity were collected through a questionnaire survey. Fasting body height and weight were measured in the morning. Unordered multiclass Logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between dining locations and nutritional status in children.
Results:
Regarding children s dining locations, 66.3% ate breakfast at home,25.8% ate breakfast at school,7.9% ate breakfast outside (small dining tables, restaurants, stalls, etc.); 67.7% ate dinner at home,29.0% ate dinner at school,3.3% ate dinner outside; and 63.6% ate lunch at school,30.8% ate lunch at home,5.7% ate lunch outside. The prevalence rates of overweight/obesity and undernutrition were 28.6% and 9.3%, respectively. The adjusted multiclass Logistic regression analysis (controlling for age, region, parental education, household income, total energy intake, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity) demonstrated that, compared to eating at home, school based breakfast and dinner consumption was associated with significantly lower overweight/obesity risks for both genders (boys: breakfast OR =0.70, 95% CI =0.65-0.75; dinner OR =0.80, 95% CI = 0.74- 0.86; girls: breakfast OR = 0.89 , 95% CI = 0.82-0.96; dinner OR =0.88, 95% CI =0.81-0.95), whereas eating lunch away from home significantly increased overweight/obesity risks (boys: OR =1.32, 95% CI =1.17-1.48; girls: OR =1.43, 95% CI =1.26- 1.62 ), with all associations being statistically significant ( P <0.05). After adjusting for confounding factors, boys who ate breakfast away from home showed a significantly reduced risk of undernutrition ( OR =0.80,95% CI =0.66-0.97), while those consuming lunch away from home had an increased risk ( OR =1.26, 95% CI =1.01-1.57) ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
The choice of dining locations for children is becoming more diverse, and a relatively high proportion of children eat meals outside the home and at school. Eating out have a higher risk of malnutrition for children. School feeding may be beneficial to children s physical health.

OBJECTIVE To explore the protective mechanism of amifostine on acute radiation injury mice. METHODS Thirty C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal control group, model group and amifostine group (150 mg/kg), with 10 mice in each group. Thirty minutes before irradiation, the mice in the amifostine group were intraperitoneally injected with amifostine; normal control group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intraperitoneally; then acute radiation injury was induced by 4 Gy X-ray radiation in both model group and amifostine group. The white blood cell count (WBC), platelet count and red blood cell (RBC) count in mice were detected 2 hours before irradiation and on days 1, 4, 7, 10 and 14 after irradiation; the changes in the proportion of WBC (neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes) on the 7th day after irradiation were analyzed. The 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the structure of gut microbiota in mice feces on the 7th day after irradiation, then its correlation with WBC was analyzed. RESULTS The counts of WBC on the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th day after irradiation, platelet count on the 10th day after irradiation and RBC count on the 1st day after irradiation in the amifostine group were significantly higher than those in model group (P<0.05). Compared with normal control group,β diversity of gut microbiome showed significant change, relative abundance of Firmicutes increased and that of Bacteroidetes decreased in model group. Amifostine could reverse the change in β diversity of gut microbiome, and the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes. The model group consisted of four distinct species, namely Allobaculum, Erysipelotrichia, Erysipelotrichales and Erysipelotrichaceae, which were significantly negatively correlated with the proportion of peripheral blood lymphocytes (P<0.01); amifostine group consisted of two distinct species, namely Lactobacillus murinus and L. crispatus, which were significantly negatively correlated with the proportion of neutrophils (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Amifostine significantly improves irradiation-induced injury by regulating dysbiosis of LY201816) gut microbiota.

Objective:To establish the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) model by ligation of the left ventricular branch of coronary artery in rabbits.Methods:Totally 36 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups according to the random number table method, including the sham group ( n=6), the model group ( n=15), and the sustained ischemia group ( n=15). The rabbits were placed under general anesthesia, then endotracheal intubation and common carotid artery intubation were performed. The intercostal muscle between the 3rd and 4th ribs of the left thorax was divided with the aid of a ventilator. The left ventricular branch was located and processed according to the different groups. After successful modeling, the gross morphological change of the heart was observed by naked eye, and the survival rate and modeling success rate of rabbits in each group were calculated respectively. Record the waveform of limb lead Ⅱ electrocardiogram before left ventricular branch ligation (N), 45 minutes of ischemia (I45), 15 minutes of reperfusion (R15), 30 minutes of reperfusion (R30), and 60 minutes of reperfusion (R60). Serum cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnⅠ) level was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), myocardial infarct size ratio was detected by 2, 3, 5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining, and the change of myocardial tissue changes were detected by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Results:The survival rate of the rabbits was 93.33% (14/15) in the model group, and the success rate of MIRI modeling was 86.67% (13/15). In the model group, the ST segment (5.00±0.71) mm at I45 was higher than that before the ligation (1.20±0.27) mm, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01), and it was stable throughout the whole ischemia period. After ligation removal, the ST segment decreased to (3.00±0.61) mm at R15, (2.20±0.45) mm at R30, and (1.30±0.27) mm at R60. There were statistically significant differences between I45 and N, R15 and I45, and R60 and R15 (all P<0.01). The pathological Q-wave was (1.60±0.55) mm at R15, and decreased to (3.60±0.22 and 5.10±0.22) mm at R30 and R60, respectively. There were statistically significant differences between R30 and R15, R60 and R30, and R60 and R15 (all P<0.01). ST segment (6.10±0.42, 5.80±0.45, 5.60±0.22, and 5.30±0.27) mm at I45, I60, I75 and I105 respectively were higher than the ST segment (1.10±0.22) mm at N in the sustained ischemia group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.01). The serum cTnⅠlevels in the model group at N, I45, R30 and R60 were (62.74±1.60, 97.60±6.36, 159.30±17.64, and 166.40±18.56) ng/L, respectively, and the difference between I45 and N was statistically significant ( P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences between R30 and I45, R60 and I45, and R30 and N (all P<0.01). The serum cTnⅠlevels in the sustained ischemia group were (69.00±4.85, 107.90±7.12, 140.60±10.96, 171.00±15.40) ng/L at N, I45, I75 and I105, respectively. There were statistically significant differences between I45 and N, I75 and I45, and I105 and I75 (all P<0.01). The infarct size ratios of the model group and the sustained ischemia group were 39.93% and (52.16±0.06) %, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The method of establishing a MIRI model by ligating the left ventricular branch of the coronary artery in rabbits is simple to operate, with stable and reliable, and the success rate of modeling is high.

Objective:To investigate the value of cystatin C (Cys-C) in the early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) after radical nephrectomy and the predictive value for the prognosis of Cys-C based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR Cys-C) after surgery. Methods:The clinical data of 118 patients who underwent unilateral radical nephrectomy in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the diagnostic criteria of AKI, they were divided into AKI group of 75 cases and no-AKI group of 43 cases. AKI group was (62.7±10.7) years old, with 49 males and 26 females. The no-AKI group was (62.3±12.8) years old, with 21 males and 22 females. The urea nitrogen was (4.9±1.3) mmol/L, creatinine (75.7±14.5)μmol/L, Cys-C (0.85±0.22) mg/L, eGFR Cr(76.3±11.2)ml/(min·1.73m 2), and eGFR Cys-C(101.4±17.4)ml/(min·1.73m 2)in AKI group before operation.In no-AKI group, preoperative urea nitrogen was (4.9±1.5) mmol/L, creatinine (74.5±13.1)μmol/L, Cys-C (0.81±0.29) mg/L, eGFR Cr(78.6±12.5)ml/(min·1.73m 2), and eGFR Cys-C(99.3±18.8)ml/(min·1.73m 2), and there were no significant differences in the values of urea nitrogen, creatinine, Cys-C and eGFR between the two groups before surgery ( P>0.05). ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of urea nitrogen, creatinine, Cys-C, eGFR calculated based on creatinine and Cys-C at 48h after surgery, and binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for AKI. The creatinine status of patients diagnosed with SPS was evaluated 6 months after surgery, based on the definition of Cys-C based eGFR being less than 70% of creatinine-based eGFR(SPS=eGFR Cys-C/ eGFR Cr≤0.7). Results:In AKI group, creatinine was(115.2±22.1)μumol/L, Cys-C (1.8±0.27) mg/L, eGFR Cr (51.6±9.6)ml/(min·1.73m 2), and eGFR Cys-C(43.4±8.5)ml/(min·1.73m 2)48 h after operation. The creatinine was(92.7±13.3)μmol/L, Cys-C(1.3±0.23) mg/L, eGFR Cr(62.2±11.3)ml/(min·1.73m 2), and eGFR Cys-C(61.5±9.5)ml/(min·1.73m 2) in no-AKI group, and difference were statistically significant between the two groups ( P<0.01). ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnosis of AKI. Creatinine, Cys-C, eGFR Cr and eGFR Cys-Cwere all of diagnostic value for AKI (all P<0.01), and AUC(Area under curve) were 0.809, 0.889, 0.761 and 0.925 respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve of eGFR Cys-C were 93.3%, 74.4% and 92.5% respectively. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that creatinine( OR=10.851, 95% CI 2.322-50.688, P=0.004), Cys-C( OR=10.016, 95% CI 2.306-43.362, P=0.001), eGFR Cr( OR=17.923, 95%CI 3.216-53.172, P=0.001) and eGFR Cys-C( OR=19.817, 95% CI 3.367-55.263, P=0.001)were all independent risk factors for AKI. The predictive accuracy of eGFR Cys-C, creatinine, Cys-C, eGFR Cr were 91.6%, 85.7%, 90.2%, 88.5%, respectively. There were 15 cases were confirmed SPS in the AKI group, and only 2 cases were confirmed SPS in the no-AKI group, indicating patients in the AKI group developed more SPS than those in the no-AKI group, with statistically significant difference(Kappa value was 5.22, P=0.02). The 6-month follow-up showed that the creatinine of confirmed SPS was (103.8±23.4)μmol/L and the creatinine of unconfirmed SPS was (86.8±27.2)μmol/L, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.01). Conclusions:eGFR Cys-C calculated based on Cys-C has high sensitivity in diagnosing AKI and has early diagnostic value. Patients diagnosed with SPS based on eGFR Cys-C had higher creatinine 6 months after surgery.
