Objective:To learn about the iodine nutrition level and its spatial distribution status in key populations in Hubei Province, so as to provide a basis for adjustment of iodine supplementation policy and the realization of scientific and accurate iodine supplementation.Methods:In 2020, a sampling was carried out in Hubei Province according to the "National Iodine Deficiency Disorders Monitoring Plan (2016 Edition)" to monitor the concentration of salt iodine and urinary iodine of key populations (children ages 8 - 10 years old and pregnant women). The spatial distribution of iodine nutrition levels was analyzed by spatial epidemiology.Results:The median salt iodine of 17 263 children's family salt samples was 25.0 mg/kg, and the median urinary iodine (MUI) was 217.0 μg/L. There was significant spatial aggregation in the distribution of urinary iodine level in children at the county level ( Moran's Index = 0.36, P < 0.001). The significant hot spot areas with high urinary iodine level among children were located in Shiyan City and Xiangyang City, while the significant cold spot areas with low urinary iodine level were mainly concentrated in Yichang City. The median salt iodine of 8 618 pregnant women's family salt samples was 25.1 mg/kg, the MUI was 176.3 μg/L. The urinary iodine level among pregnant women at the county level was spatially clustered ( Moran's Index = 0.22, P = 0.003) . The significant hot spot areas with high urinary iodine level among pregnant women were mainly in Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, the significant cold spot areas were mainly concentrated in Yichang City. Conclusions:In 2020, the iodine nutrition of children in Hubei Province is at a super appropriate level (200 - 299 μg/L), and the iodine nutrition status of pregnant women is more sensitive, which is close to the lower limit of the appropriate level (150 μg/L). The urinary iodine level of children and pregnant women has significant spatial aggregation at the county level. Targeted intervention will be needed in counties (dictricts) where the urinary iodine level is lower or higher than the normal range, to achieve accurate and scientific iodine supplementation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Ziziphi Spinosae Semen-Albiziae Flos on the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain,NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 1 (NLRP1)/chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1)/chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2) pathway in the hippocampus of the rat model of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced depression. MethodA total of 120 male SD rats were randomized into blank,CUMS,CUMS + low-,medium-,and high-dose (4,8,16 g·kg-1) Ziziphi Spinosae Semen-Albiziae Flos,and CUMS + venlafaxine hydrochloride (0.008 g·kg-1) groups,with 20 rats in each group.The rat model of depression was established by solitary feeding combined with CUMS.The behaviors and spatial learning and memory abilities of rats were examined by sugar water consumption test,tail suspension test,forced swimming test,and Morris water maze test.Quantitative real-time PCR (Real-time PCR) and Western blot were employed to determine the expression of factors associated with the NLRP1/CXCL1/CXCR2 pathway in the hippocampus.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to determine the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin (IL)-18,IL-1β,and IL-6 in the hippocampus.The immunofluorescence assay was used to measure the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the hippocampus. ResultCompared with the blank group,the CUMS group showed decreased preference to sugar water and times of crossing the platform (P<0.01),and increased immobility time of tail suspension,forced swimming floating time,and escape latency (P<0.01).Compared with the CUMS group,the administration of Ziziphi Spinosae Semen-Albiziae Flos and venlafaxine hydrochloride alleviated the effects of CUMS on the above-mentioned behaviors and spatial learning and memory abilities of the rats (P<0.05,P<0.01).Compared with the blank group,the CUMS group showed up-regulated protein levels of NLRP1,CXCL1,and CXCR2 (P<0.01) and elevated levels of IL-18,IL-1β,TNF-α,and IL-6 (P<0.01) in the hippocampus.The treatment with Ziziphi Spinosae Semen-Albiziae Flos and venlafaxine hydrochloride attenuated the activation of NLRP1/CXCL1/CXCR2 signaling pathway and lowered the levels of inflammatory cytokines in the hippocampus of CUMS rats (P<0.05,P<0.01).In addition,Ziziphi Spinosae Semen-Albiziae Flos lowered the level of ROS in the hippocampus (P<0.05,P<0.01). ConclusionZiziphi Spinosae Semen-Albiziae Flos can mitigate the depressive behaviors of the rat model of CUMS-induced depression by inhibiting the activation of NLRP1/CXCL1/CXCR2 signaling pathway.

As an adjuvant alternative therapy, phototherapy is widely used for early diagnosis and late treatment of breast cancer due to its non-invasive treatment characteristics. But the application of phototherapeutic agents has been limited in the clinic due to poor hydrophobicity and tissue targeting, low photostability, and obvious toxic side effects in vivo. With the development of nanotechnology, new composite nano-phototherapy agents have emerged. This paper summarizes the latest developments and findings of new composite nano-phototherapy agents for phototherapy in the field of breast cancer treatment in the past 5 years. With the development of multifunctional nanomaterials in the field of breast cancer imaging diagnosis and treatment, the modified phototherapy agent achieved further development respectively from improving light response to improve the light thermal conversion or increasing the generation of reactive oxygen species, targeting tumor microenvironment, immune cells and cancer cell surface receptors to achieve drug controllable response release, using biomimetic materials and endogenous substances to improve biocompatibility. Although phototherapeutic agents exhibit high cell-killing rates in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer models and effectively inhibit their recurrence and metastasis, problems remain regarding the safety and compatibility of synergistic therapy. Future studies can not only improve the existing effects of phototherapeutic agents, but also develop oral drugs with more convenient routes based on immunotherapy to amplify the immune response and resist breast cancer through multiple routes.

Objective:To provide a reference for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) inter-hospital transport during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), based on the transport experience of 6 patients with severe H1N1 influenza virus pneumonia using ECMO.Methods:Clinical data of patients with severe H1N1 influenza virus pneumonia implemented by ECMO in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College from October 2018 to December 2019 were retrospective analyzed, including general information, ECMO transport distance, time, clinical parameters before and after ECMO, including the patients' oxygenation index (PaO 2/FiO 2), respiratory rate (RR), pulse blood oxygen saturation (SpO 2), arterial blood carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO 2), and pH value, various complications during transport, mechanical ventilation time, patients' prognosis and other indicators. Experience from the aspects of personal protection, transport process and equipment, team cooperation, mid-transit monitoring, quality control, etc., was summarized to provide suggestions for patients with severe COVID-19 using ECMO during inter-hospital transport and protection. Results:A total of 6 patients with severe H1N1 influenza virus pneumonia were transported on ECMO. All patients were transported to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College by the ECMO transport team after the establishment of ECMO in the local hospital. The transfer distance was 11 to 197 km, with an average of (93.8±58.6) km; the transfer time was 30 to 150 minutes, with an average of (79.2±40.6) minutes. Two patients experienced a drop in ECMO flow and SpO 2 during the process, and the main reason was insufficient volume, which was improved after fluid resuscitation and posture adjustment. All patients maintained SpO 2 above 0.93. Six patients survived and were discharged. ECMO assisted time was 4-9 days, with an average of (6.5±1.5) days; mechanical ventilation time was 7-24 days, and median time was 10.0 (8.0, 14.5) days. No H1N1 transmission occurred in medical personnel. To achieve good therapeutic effect, the main experience was to choose the proper timing and mode of ECMO; intact transportation vehicles and equipment to reduce or avoid mechanical complications; the effective management of respiration and circulation during the transportation to avoid ventilation-associated lung injury (VALI) and serious hypoxemia; the appropriate space for the transfer team to quickly handle various critical situations; and personal protection to avoid infection. Conclusion:With an experienced ECMO transport team, good transport equipment, comprehensive protection measures, reasonable transport procedures, and a perfect emergency plan, it is safe to use ECMO transport for COVID-19 patients.
