Objective:To detect serum levels of vitamin A (Vit A), vitamin D(Vit D)25-hydroxy vitamin D[25-(OH)D] and vitamin E(Vit E) in children aged 0-6 years in Tibetan Plateau of Garzi Prefecture, thus providing references for physical examinations and prevention of 4 key diseases (rickets, malnutrition anemia, pneumonia and diarrhea) in children in plateau areas by relevant government departments.Methods:A total of 2 122 children who participated in physical examination in 12 townships of Xiangcheng County and 14 townships of Daocheng County, Garzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province from April 2017 to April 2019 with 0-6 years old were recruited for surveying physical measurements and collection of venous blood.Serum Vit A and Vit E levels were detected by high performance liquid chromatography.Serum levels of 25-(OH)D were detected by high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry.The relationship between Vit A, Vit E and 25-(OH)D levels with the gender, age, seasonal change and altitude was analyzed.Results:The serum Vit A level, subclinical Vit A deficiency rate and marginal vitamin A deficiency rate were(1.05±0.27) μmol/L, 8.15%(173/2 122 cases) and 45.99%(976/2 122 cases), respectively in 2 122 children with 0-6 years old.There were significant differences in the serum Vit A level, the subclinical Vit A deficiency rate and the marginal vitamin A deficiency rate in children with different ages, seasons and altitudes (all P<0.05). The serum level of 25-(OH)D and 25-(OH)D deficiency rate insufficient rate were (24.65±6.45) ng/L, 6.03%(128/2 122 cases) and 16.59%(352/2 122 cases), respectively.There were significant differences in the serum level of 25-(OH)D, 25-(OH)D deficiency rate and 25-(OH)D insufficient rate in children with different ages and seasons (all P<0.05). The mean serum Vit E level, Vit E deficiency rate and Vit E insufficient rate were (7.81±1.74) mg/L, 2.78%(59/2 122 cases) and 29.59%(628/2 122 cases), respectively.There were significant differences in serum Vit E level, Vit E deficiency rate and Vit E insufficient rate in children with different ages and seasons (all P<0.05). The mean serum levels of Vit A and Vit D remained the lowest before the age of 1 year, and their deficiencies at this age were the most significant.The mean serum level of Vit E remained the lowest in >1-2 years old, and its deficiency and insufficient at this age were the most significant.Vit A, D and E levels were significantly affected by seasonal changes, which were significantly higher in the summer than in the spring, autumn and winter.In addition, Vit A and 25-(OH)D were significantly affected by the altitude, which were the lowest above 4 km altitude. Conclusions:The overall serum levels of Vit A, 25-(OH) D and E in children with 0-6 years old in Tibetan Plateau areas of Ganzi Prefecture are lower than those in plain areas.Vit A, 25-(OH) D and Vit E levels significantly differed in the age, season and altitude, which are related to the lack of local resources, insufficient maternal nutrition during pregnancy and insufficient intake after birth, as well as temperature and light caused by changes in local seasons and altitude.Therefore, it is necessary to make reasonable supplements during pregnancy to prevent vitamin deficiency.

Objective:The tumorigenesis, progression, and metastasis of lung cancer are mostly governed by the immunosuppres-sive profile. This study aimed to explore the levels of various immunosuppressive inhibitory molecules in lung-cancer patients subject-ed to different chemotherapy cycles. Methods:Thirty-three patients with advanced lung cancer (ALC;stages III-IV) without receiving prior chemotherapy and 23 healthy subjects were enrolled in our study. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the patients be-fore each chemotherapy cycle. The inhibitory markers expressed in T cells such as TIM3, PD-1, and CTLA4 were analyzed by flow cy-tometry. Results:The percentages of CD4+TIM3+, CD8+TIM3+, CD4+PD-1+, CD8+PD-1+, CD4+CTLA-4+, and CD8+CTLA-4+T cells in the peripheral blood of the ALC patients were significantly higher compared to the controls. The percentage of CD4+TIM3+, CD8+TIM3+, CD4+PD-1+, and CD8+PD-1+T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of patients (n=19) who achieved PR or SD significantly de-creased after five cycles of chemotherapy (P<0.05). Similarly, the percentages of CD4+CTLA-4+and CD8+CTLA-4+T cells in the pa-tients also decreased after five cycles of treatment. Conclusion:The immune status of ALC patients was evidently suppressed. Effec-tive chemotherapy successfully potentiated effective immune responses by downregulating inhibitory molecules in T cells.
