Objective:To understand the current status of anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia among preschool children in China.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted with a multi-stage stratified sampling method to select 150 streets or townships from 10 Chinese provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities (East: Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Hainan; Central: Henan; West: Chongqing, Shaanxi, Guizhou, and Xinjiang; Northeast: Liaoning). From May 2022 to April 2023, a total of 21 470 children, including community-based children aged 0.5 to<3.0 years receiving child health care and kindergarten-based children aged 3.0 to<7.0 years, were surveyed. They were divided into 3 age groups: infants (0.5 to<1.0 year), toddlers (1.0 to<3.0 years), and preschoolers (3.0 to<7.0 years). Basic information such as sex and date of birth of the children was collected, and peripheral blood samples were obtained for routine blood tests and serum ferritin measurement. The prevalence rates of anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia were analyzed, and the prevalence rate differences were compared among different ages, sex, urban and rural areas, and regions using the chi-square test.Results:A total of 21 460 valid responses were collected, including 10 780 boys (50.2%). The number of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers were 2 645 (12.3%), 6 244 (29.1%), and 12 571 (58.6%), respectively. The hemoglobin level was (126.7±14.8) g/L, and the serum ferritin level was 32.3 (18.5, 50.1) μg/L. The overall rates of anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia were 10.4% (2 230/21 460), 28.3% (6 070/21 460), and 3.9% (845/21 460), respectively. The prevalence rate of anemia was higher for boys than for girls (10.9% (1 173/10 780) vs. 9.9% (1 057/10 680), χ2=5.58, P=0.018), with statistically significant differences in the rates for infants, toddlers and preschoolers (18.0% (475/2 645), 10.6% (662/6 244), and 8.7% (1 093/12 571), respectively, χ2=201.81, P<0.01), and the rate was significantly higher for children in rural than that in urban area (11.8% (1 516/12 883) vs. 8.3% (714/8 577), χ2=65.54, P<0.01), with statistically significant differences in the rates by region ( χ2=126.60, P<0.01), with the highest rate of 15.8% (343/2 173) for children in Central region, and the lowest rate of 5.3% (108/2 053) in Northeastern region. The prevalence rates of iron deficiency were 33.8% (895/2 645), 32.2% (2 011/6 244), and 25.2% (3 164/12 571) in infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, respectively, and 30.0% (3 229/10 780) in boys vs. 26.6% (2 841/10 680) in girls, 21.7% (1 913/8 821), 40.0% (870/2 173), 27.1% (2 283/8 413), 48.9% (1 004/2 053) in Eastern, Central, Western, and Northeastern regions, respectively, and each between-group showed a significant statistical difference ( χ2=147.71, 29.73, 773.02, all P<0.01). The prevalence rate of iron-deficiency anemia showed a significant statistical difference between urban and rural areas, 2.9% (251/8 577) vs. 4.6% (594/12 883) ( χ2=38.62, P<0.01), while the difference in iron deficiency prevalence was not significant ( χ2=0.51, P=0.476). Conclusions:There has been a notable improvement in iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia among preschool children in China, but the situation remains concerning. Particular attention should be paid to the prevention and control of iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia, especially among infants and children in the Central, Western, and Northeastern regions of China.

Newborn screening (NBS) plays a significant role in reducing the risk of birth defects. NBS in China began in the early 1980s. Under the protection of laws and regulations and the leadership of the national health administration, approved screening centers in public hospitals took the responsibility for publicity, screening, diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and management of birth defects. As of 2022, 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) have carried out NBS for phenylketonuria, congenital hypothyroidism, and hearing loss, 23 provinces have carried out screening for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (with a screening rate of 89.24%), and 24 provinces have carried out screening for congenital adrenal cortical hyperplasia (91.45% screening rate). Over the past four decades, screening techniques have evolved from bacterial inhibition, fluorescence analysis, and tandem mass spectrometry for the detection of biochemical markers to genetic testing, which has greatly contributed to the expansion of the types of diseases screened for. The combined use of metabolomics and genomics is currently being explored. Effective management and rigorous quality control of NBS are prerequisites for improving the quality and ensuring the accuracy of screening. The Quality Management System for Newborn Screening System Network (QMS-NBS), established by the National Center for Clinical Laboratories, covers all screening centers and related blood collection agencies. The operation of the QMS-NBS allows the quality and performance of screening to be transparent and measurable, ensuring the quality and efficiency of screening. This article provides an overview of the history of NBS, especially the evolution of policies for the NBS in China, the construction of screening institutions, the number of newborns screened, the incidence rates of screened diseases, the changes in screening technology, the expansion of new diseases screened for, and the quality control of NBS. Overall, the progress in NBS in China has not only benefited from the development and standardization at the technological level, but also benefited from the construction of policies, regulations and ethics.

Objective To summarize the individualized cavity Single branch stent grafting through rebuilding the aortic arch surgery in 26 cases of the application of the Stanford type A aortic dissection. Methods From 2010 January to 2014 October, 26 patients received Stanford type A aortic dissection surgery, 26 patients received individualized cavity single branch stent grafting to rebuild the aortic arch surgery , together with improved myocardial protection fluid. Results In the present study, 26 cases with aortic dissection that were treated with single branch stent grafting for the reconstruction of aortic arch under DHCA and selective cerebral perfusion. Twenty-six patients received individualized cavity single branch stent grafting reconstruction of aortic arch surgery alone, and were stopped by using deep cryogenic loop (DHCA) plus selective cerebral perfusion surgical treatment. One patient suffered from permanent nerve dysfunction iand give up treatment. Conclusion The sexua branch stent grafting in reconstruction of aortic arch operation could simplify the operation procedures , shorten the operation time, and reduce the amount of blood transfusion and postoperative drainage.

ThisstudywasaimedtoobservetheinhibitoryeffectsofQi-Zhu (QZ)granulesonearlyproteinuria in diabetic nephropathy rats with syndrome of qi-yin deficiency and phlegm blocking collaterals. A total of 44 rats were randomly divided into the blank group, model group, Huang-Kui capsule group, QZ granules group. The rat model of diabetic nephropathy with syndrome of qi-yin deficiency and phlegm blocking collaterals was induced by the combination of unilateral renal artery ligation, diet of high-calorie and high cholesterol, and intraperitoneal injection of low-dose streptozotocin. The medication was given for 8 weeks. The concentrations of protein and creatinine in urine were observed on the 4th week. The blood glucose, blood lipids, liver function and renal pathological changes were observed at the end of the experiment. The results showed that compared with the model group, QZ granules can obvious suppress early proteinuria in diabetic nephropathy, promote creatinine excretion, regulate blood lipid metabolism, protect liver function and improve renal pathological changes. It was concluded that QZ granules had independent inhibition effect on early proteinuria in diabetic nephropathy rats with syndrome of qi-yin deficiency and phlegm blocking collaterals. The effect was independent of lowing blood glucose. It represented the corresponding relation between the syndrome and efficacy in Chinese herb compounds.
