Objective: To investigate the status quo and associated factors of drinking water knowledge, attitude and behavior among primary school students in rural areas, so as to provide evidence for health behavioral intervention of drinking water in primary school. Methods: Twentythree primary schools in rural area from Hebei, Henan, Shandong and Shanxi provinces were selected by using purposive sampling method from March 1 to April 27 in 2023. Selfdesigned questionnaires regarding knowledge, attitude and behavior of drinking water were distributed to all students in grade 3-6, and 2 173 valid questionnaires were obtained. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of drinking water knowledge, attitude and behavior of primary school students. Results: The attainment rates of drinking water knowledge, attitude and behavior level were 20.02%, 26.65%, and 31.20%, respectively, among primary school students. The median of daily water intake was 1 000 mL, and the average daily water intake was (1 172.99±771.89)mL. In addition, 66.31% of students water intake reached the minimum standard of 800 mL recommended. The results of multiple Logistic regression indicated that drinking water accessibility in school, health education of drinking water, and individual selfcontrol ability were positively correlated with the knowledge (OR=1.31, 1.57, 1.58), attitude (OR=2.07, 1.65, 1.73), behavior (OR=1.40, 1.49, 1.91) of drinking water and daily water intake (OR=1.41, 1.38, 1.20) (P<0.05). Conclusions Primary school students in rural areas are generally lack of appropriate health awareness on drinking water including knowledge, attitude and behavior. Schools should take targeted measures to focus on the cultivation of students selfcontrol ability, so as to improve students knowledge and attitudes of drinking water, and furthermore help students shape their healthy behaviors of drinking water.

AIM:Bone morphogenetic protein 7(BMP7)reduces the expression of Yes-related protein 1(YAP1)by down-regulating Ajuba level and decreasing extracellular matrix(ECM)deposition.This study aimed to inves-tigate the influence of these factors on modifying the degree of renal fibrosis in rats with diabetic nephropathy.METH-ODS:Eighteen Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into three groups:the normal control(NC)group,the diabetes mellitus(DM)group,and the DM group treated with BMP7 overexpressing adeno-associated virus(DM+rAAV-BMP7).Each group consisted of six rats.Diabetic kidney disease(DKD)was established in the DM and DM+rAAV-BMP7 groups by injecting 55 mg/kg streptozotocin(STZ)via the tail vein.NRK-52E cells were divided into three groups:the normal glucose(NG)group,the high glucose(HG)group,and the high glucose group treated with recombinant hu-man BMP7(HG+rhBMP7)group.Pathological changes in renal tissues were observed using hematoxylin and eosin(HE)and Sirius red staining.Immunohistochemical staining was performed to examine the expression sites of Ajuba and YAP1 in the renal cortex.Western blot analysis was conducted to determine the expression levels of BMP7,Ajuba,YAP1,colla-gen type Ⅲ(Col-Ⅲ),and fibronectin(FN)in the rat renal cortex and NRK-52E cells.RT-qPCR was used to measure the mRNA levels of Ajuba and YAP1 in the rat renal cortex.RESULTS:Biochemical indices revealed significantly ele-vated levels of blood glucose,serum creatinine,triglycerides,total cholesterol,and 24-hour urinary protein in the DM group compared to the NC group(P<0.05).In the DM+rAAV-BMP7 group,the levels of serum creatinine,24-hour uri-nary protein,triglycerides,and total cholesterol were lower than those in the DM group(P<0.05).Pathological staining demonstrated that the renal interstitium of the DM group exhibited inflammatory cell infiltration,fibrous tissue,collagen fi-ber deposition,disordered renal tubule arrangement,atrophy,and vacuolar degeneration,which were ameliorated in the DM+rAAV-BMP7 group.Immunohistochemistry revealed that Ajuba and YAP1 were mainly expressed in the cytoplasm and nucleus,with high expression in the cytoplasm of the DM group,which was significantly decreased in the DM+rAAV-BMP7 group.Western blot results indicated that the protein levels of FN,Col-Ⅲ,Ajuba,and YAP1 were up-regulated in the DM and the HG groups(P<0.05),but significantly down-regulated in the DM+rAAV-BMP7 group(P<0.05).RT-qP-CR results demonstrated that the mRNA levels of Ajuba and YAP1 were higher in the DM group and significantly lower in the DM+rAAV-BMP7 group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The overexpression of BMP7 can ameliorate renal fibrosis in rats with DKD.This effect is likely mediated by the down-regulation of Ajuba,reduction of YAP1 expression,and subse-quent inhibition of ECM deposition.

OBJECTIVE To study the toxicokinetics and tissue distribution characteristics of alpha-amanitin in rats.METHODS The tail venous blood was collected from SD rats before and 5,10,20,30 and 45 min,1,1.5,2.5,4 and 8 h after intraperitoneal injection of alpha-amanitin(1.5 mg·kg-1),and the concentration of alpha-amanitin in blood was determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS).DAS 2.0 software was used to analyze and plot the drug-time curve with toxicokinetic parame-ters.Based on the toxicokinetics results,18 SD rats were randomly divided into three groups.The rats were sacrificed,and left ventricular arterial(LVA)blood and 9 types of tissue samples involving the heart,liver,spleen,lung,kidney,whole brain,small intestine,stomach wall and testis were collected 15 min,40 min and 2.5 h after dosing,and the concentrations of alpha-amanitin were measured by LC-MS/MS to obtain the tissue distribution results of alpha-amanitin in SD rats.RESULTS Toxicokinetics studies revealed that the peak blood concentration(Cmax)was(633±121)μg·L-1,the elimination half-life(T1/2)was(0.72±0.37)h,and the peak time(Tmax)was(0.52±0.16)h.The total clearance rate(CLz)was(1.62±0.26)L·h·kg-1,the area under the curve(AUC0-t)was(946±183)μg·h·L-1,and the mean reten-tion time(MRT0-t)was(1.18±0.17)h.The apparent volume of distribution(Vz)was(1.65±0.86)L·kg-1.The results of tissue distribution study showed that alpha-amanitin was widely distributed in SD rats with the highest concentration in the kidney,followed by the lung,small intestines,stomach wall,LVA blood and liver,but was low in the heart,spleen,testicles and other tissues,and very low in the brain.Alpha-amanitin was absorbed and eliminated quickly,peaked at 40 min in each tissue,and the concen-tration was minimized after 2.5 h.CONCLUSION The absorption and elimination of alpha-amanitin by intraperitoneal injection are rapid in SD rats,and the blood concentration reaches the peak about 31 min after administration,but can not be detected 4 h later.Alpha-amanitin is mainly distributed in the kidney,followed by the tissues and metabolic organs with rich blood flow,such as the lung,small intestines,stomach wall,LVA blood and liver.The content of alpha-amanitin is low in the heart,spleen,testicles and other tissues,and very low in the brain.It is speculated that it may have toxic targeting effect on the kidney and low blood-brain barrier permeability.
