Objective:To analyze the prevalence of goiter among children aged 8 to 10 years old in Beijing and study the influencing factors of goiter in children.Methods:In 16 districts of Beijing, each district was divided into 5 sampling districts according to east, west, south, north and middle locations in 2018. One town/street was selected from each sampling district, one primary school was selected from each town/street, and 40 non-boarding students aged 8 to 10 years old were selected from each primary school. The size of thyroid was measured by B-ultrasound method, the volume of thyroid was calculated and whether goiter or not was determined according to the "Diagnostic Criteria for Endemic Goiter". Random urine samples were collected, urinary iodine was detected by arsenic-cerium catalytic spectrophotometry. Height and weight were measured, body mass index (BMI) was calculated, and the correlation of thyroid volume with height and weight was analyzed.Results:A total of 3 268 children were surveyed, in which 154 children with goiter; the goiter rate was 4.7%. The goiter rate in girls [5.7% (93/1 641)] was higher than that in boys [3.7% (61/1 627), χ 2 = 6.694, P < 0.05]. The goiter rates of children aged 8, 9 and 10 years old were 4.3% (15/346), 5.5% (85/1 534) and 3.9% (54/1 388), respectively, there was no significant difference between the ages (χ 2 = 4.544, P > 0.05). The median of urinary iodine in children was 175.3 μg/L, which was in an iodine appropriate level. The thyroid volumes of children aged 8, 9 and 10 years old were positively correlated with height and weight ( r = 0.143, 0.225, 0.323, 0.338, 0.321, 0.346, P < 0.01). Conclusion:The goiter rate of children in Beijing is high, children's thyroid volume is greatly affected by height and weight, and it is recommended to consider the influence of height and weight when study the diagnostic criteria of children's goiter.

Objective:To examine the association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) of children through Meta-analysis.Methods:We searched data on relative risk ( RR) and 95 % confidence interval ( CI) on cohort studies published between January 2000 and July 2019 from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang database. We used Stata software 15.1 to perform the Meta analysis with random effect model applied to pool RRs according to the results of heterogeneity test through subgroup analysis and Meta regression analysis to explore the potential heterogeneity, publication bias and sensitivity. Results:A total of eleven cohort studies involving 1 631 618 samples and 9 276 ASD cases were included in this Meta-analysis. Results showed that maternal smoking was associated with the increased risk of autism spectrum disorder ( RR=1.16, 95 %CI: 1.02-1.32). For subgroup analysis, the pooled RR for prospective studies ( RR=1.16, 95% CI: 1.10-1.23) appeared higher than that in the retrospective studies ( RR=0.92, 95 %CI: 0.83-1.06). The pooled RR for studies with adjusted confounding factors ( RR=1.13, 95 %CI: 1.04-1.23) was higher than that without ( RR=1.12, 95 %CI: 1.04-1.20). In studies that exposure to smoking assessed before delivery, inter-study heterogeneity appeared higher than those after delivery. Sample size and time of assessment on smoking seemed the sources of heterogeneity. No significant publication bias was observed in this study, and the results were quite stable. Conclusions:Maternal smoking was associated with the increased risk of autism spectrum disorder. However, value of the combined effect seemed low. High-quality, large-sample, and prospective cohort studies should be conducted to further verify the causal relationship, based on the correction of potential confounding factors.

Objective To investigate the effects of leptin on Treg cells and the possible mecha-nism. Methods Leptin-deficient ( ob/ob) mice and homologous wild-type mice were used in this study. The percentages of Treg cells in spleen tissues and peripheral blood samples were measured by flow cytometry ( FCM) . Differences in Treg cell functionality were compared between the two groups. Splenic CD4+T cells, separated from the ob/ob mice and the wild-type mice by magnetic beads, were respectively cultured with leptin and anti-leptin neutralization antibody to evaluate the effects of leptin on Treg cells. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to analyze the expression of Treg cell-related cytokines at transcriptional level. The levels of IL-10 and TGF-β in the supernatants of CD4+T cell culture were measured with Luminex technolo-gy. Results Compared with the wild-type mice, the ob/ob mice showed higher percentages of Treg cells in both peripheral blood samples and spleen tissues [(11. 56 ± 0. 72)% vs (5. 47 ± 0. 81)%, (10. 16 ± 0.93)% vs (6.29±0. 69)%]. Treg cells isolated from the ob/ob mice had stronger immunosuppressive effects on the proliferation of effector T ( Teff) cells and the secretion of TNF-α and IFN-γ than those from the wild-type mice [TNF-α:(1. 6±0. 2)% vs (2. 4±0. 5)%, IFN-γ:(4. 3±0. 3)% vs (7. 2±1. 2)%]. The percentages of Treg cells were decreased from (12. 2±1. 8)% to (7. 6±0. 9)% upon the in vitro treat-ment of CD4+ T cells from the ob/ob mice with leptin and the immunosuppressive effects of Treg cells were also weakened. However, the percentages of Treg cells were increased from (7. 8±0. 85)% to (13. 1± 1. 5)% upon the in vitro treatment of CD4+T cells from the wild-type mice with anti-leptin antibody and the immunosuppressive effects of Treg cells were improved as well. Moreover, the expression of Foxp3, IL-10 and TGF-β at transcriptional level and the levels of IL-10 and TGF-β in the ob/ob group were higher than those in the wild-type group. Conclusions Leptin deficiency significantly promoted the generation of Treg cells in mice and resulted in an increased expression of Foxp3, IL-10 and TGF-βat mRNA level and elevat-ed levels of IL-10 and TGF-β. The treatment of CD4+T cells with leptin might inhibit the generation of Treg cells through down-regulating the transcription of Foxp3, IL-10 and TGF-β.

Objective To study the effect of SNORD47 over-expression on proliferation and invasion of U87-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)vⅢ glioma cells. Methods U87-EGFRvⅢ glioma cells at logarithmic phase were assigned into lenti-SNORD47 group, lenti-NC group and blank control group. The recombinant lentiviruses containing lenti-SNORD47 or lenti-NC were transfected into U87-EGFRvⅢ glioma cells of the lenti-SNORD47 group and lenti-NC group, respectively. Forty-eight h after transfection, the SNORD47 expression in the three groups was measured by real time quantitative PCR. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expressions of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2 and MMP9. The proliferation of U87-EGFRvⅢ cells 4, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after transfection was evaluated by CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay. Transwell assay and wound-healing assay were used to examine the invasion and migration of these cells. Results The SNORD47 expression in the lenti-SNORD47 group was significantly higher than that in the lenti-NC group and control group (P<0.05). The protein expressions of MMP2 and MMP9 in the lenti-SNORD47 group were significantly decreased as compared with those in the lenti-NC group and control group (P<0.05). At 48, 72 and 96 h after transfection, the optical density and number of cloned cells in the lenti-SNORD47 group were significantly decreased as with those in the lenti-NC group and control group (P<0.05). The invasion and migration abilities of U87-EGFRvIII cells in the lenti-SNORD47 group were significantly suppressed as compared with those in the lenti-NC group and control group (P<0.05). Conclusion SNORD47 could inhibit the proliferative and invasive abilities of U87-EGFRvⅢ glioma cells.
