Objective To explore the association between different levels of fluoride exposure and dyslipidemia in elderly people, and to analyze the influencing factors and their interactions. Methods A total of 1 143 elderly people over 60 years old were randomly selected from historical high water fluorosis areas and control areas in Tianjin. Logistic regression model and classification tree model were used to analyze the influencing factors of dyslipidemia, and to analyze the interaction between high fluoride exposure and relevant influencing factors on dyslipidemia. Results The prevalence of elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was 5.69% (65/1 143). There was a significant difference in the prevalence of high LDL-C in different fluoride-exposed areas (2 = 0.092,P = 0.762). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that high fluoride exposure (OR=2.306,95%CI:1.185-4.491) and abdominal obesity (OR=2.274,95%CI:1.299-3.978) were risk factors for high LDL-C, while type B personality (OR=0.529,95%CI:0.308-0.908) was a protective factor for high LDL-C. The results of classification tree model showed that abdominal obesity contributed the most to the prevalence of high LDL-C in the elderly, followed by high fluoride exposure and hyperglycemia. There was a significant multiplicative interaction between high fluoride exposure and abdominal obesity on dyslipidemia (OR=5.191,95%CI:1.609-16.745,P=0.006). Conclusion High fluoride exposure may increase the risk of high LDL-C, and there is a multiplicative interaction between high fluoride exposure and abdominal obesity on dyslipidemia.

Objective To investigate the status and the influencing factors of thyroid volume of children aged 8-10 years in Tianjin. Methods Among the 1-2 primary schools were randomly selected from 12 districts in Tianjin. A total of 1 090 children were selected by class cluster sampling method (half male and half female, with a balanced age distribution). A questionnaire survey was conducted. Children’s height, weight and thyroid volume were measured, and their salt iodine content and urinary iodine content were detected. Results I n this study, the median urinary iodine in children was 161.35 µg/L, the mean thyroid volume was 2.56 mL, and the goiter rate was 3.58%. Univariate analysis showed that age, BSA, salt iodine content, urinary iodine content, eating habits, food taste, eating lunch at school, father's work, anxiety and depression, pressure, and different regional grouping were the influencing factors of thyroid volume (P<0.05). Multivariate linear regression showed that BSA, age, food taste, and urinary iodine content had significant independent effects on thyroid volume (P<0.05). Conclusion In Tianjin, the iodine nutrition level of children aged 8-10 years is at an appropriate level. When evaluating the thyroid volume of children, in addition to age factors, other factors such as physical development level and iodine intake should also be considered.

Objective This study aimed to explore the effect of the combined Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule with dapagliflozin on the blood lipid profile and related inflammatory markers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with peripheral vascular disease. Methods 72 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with peripheral vascular disease who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Endocrinology,The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine,from April 2021 to April 2023. The patients were assigned to the experimental group and the control group using the random number table method (36 cases in each group). The control group was treated with dapagliflozin in addition to standard treatment,while the experimental group received the Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule for 12 weeks. Clinical efficacy,glucose and lipid metabolism indicators,hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),body mass index (BMI) levels,and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores were observed pre-and post-treatment.Results In post-treatment,the clinical efficacy was higher in the experimental group than in the control group. Significant reductions in fasting blood glucose (FPG),2 h postprandial glucose (2 hPG),triglycerides (TG),total cholesterol (TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),hs-CRP,BMI,and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were observed. Scores for TCM syndrome and individual items also decreased (P<0.05). Comparisons within the groups for pre-and post-treatment showed reductions in FPG,2 hPG,TG,TC,LDL-C,hs-CRP,and an increase in HDL-C,along with a decrease in total scores of TCM syndrome (P<0.05). Conclusion The Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule combined with dapagliflozin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus with peripheral vascular disease can regulate the blood lipid profile,reduce inflammatory factors,and improve patient's symptoms. Integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment are more conducive to controlling the disease,and TCM can be used in clinical practice as a combination treatment.

Methods :
Middle-aged and elderly residents at ages of 45 ot 69 years were recruited using the convenient sampling method from seven townships in Changxing County of Zhejiang Province from 2019 to 2020. The demographic characteristics and lifestyle factors were collected using questionnaires, and the frailty was measured using the Chinese version of Tilburg Frailty Indicator ( TFI ). Factors affecting frailty were identified among middle-aged and elderly populations using the multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 7 170 residents were surveyed, including 2 780 males ( 38.77% ) and 4 390 females ( 61.23% ), which had a median age of 56 (interquartile range, 10) years. The median frailty score was 2 (interquartile range, 3 ) among the study subjects, and the median frailty score was 2 ( interquartile range, 2 ) among residents at ages of 45 to 59 years, and 2 (interquartile range, 3) among residents at ages of 60 to 69 years. The overall detection of frailty was 16.07%, and the detection of frailty was 13.52% among subjects at ages of 45 to 59 years and 21.01% among subjects at ages of 60 to 69 years. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified physical activity ( OR=0.826, 95%CI: 0.719-0.949 ) and sleep quality ( OR: 3.376-11.493, 95%CI: 2.907-15.808 ) as factors affecting frailty among middle-aged and elderly residents. Following age stratification, physical activity ( OR=0.817, 95%CI: 0.681-0.981 ) and sleep quality ( OR: 3.076-11.566, 95%CI: 2.518-18.216 ) as factors affecting frailty among subjects at ages of 45 to 59 years, while sleep quality ( OR: 3.777-11.827, 95%CI: 3.002-18.547 ) significantly correlated with frailty among residents at ages of 60 to 69 years.
Conclusion
Physical activity and sleep quality are associated with the risk of frailty among middle-aged and elderly populations.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Yishen Huoxue prescription in renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) from the perspective of endothelial cell and cell energy metabolism. MethodThe model was successfully established by unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). Seventy-five SPF C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a model group, a resveratrol group (50 mg·kg-1·d-1), three Yishen Huoxue prescription low, medium, and high-dose groups (7.1, 14.2, 28.4 g·kg-1·d-1), with 15 mice in each group. In addition, another 15 mice were used to prepare sham operation model. Mice in the sham operation group and the model group were gavaged with equal volume of normal saline. All mice were sacrificed on 7, 14, and 21 d after modeling. The protein expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 31 (CD31) was detected by immunohistochemical S-P method. The expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), collagen Ⅳ (Col-Ⅳ), angiopoietin 1(Ang-1) and tyrosine kinase receptors 2 (Tie-2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin), and occludin in renal tissues was detected by Western blotting. The mRNA expressions of Ang-1/Tie-2, VEGF, VE-cadherin, and occludin in renal tissues were detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR), and the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mice were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). ResultAs compared with the sham operation group, the expression of CD31 in renal tissues of the model group was significantly decreased and worsened with the extension of modeling time (P<0.05), α-SAM and Col-Ⅳ protein expression levels were significantly increased (P<0.01), but the expression of CD31 was stable in 14-21 d. ROS levels were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the protein and mRNA expressions of Ang-1/Tie-2, VEGF, VE-cadherin, and occludin were significantly down-regulated (P<0.01). As compared with the model group, the expression of CD31 was increased (P<0.05), and α-SAM and Col-Ⅳ in the resveratrol group and the medium and high-dose Yishen Huoxue prescription groups were significantly decreased (P<0.01). The ROS content was significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the protein and mRNA expressions of Ang-1/Tie-2, VEGF, VE-cadherin, and occludin were up-regulated (P<0.01), As compared with the resveratrol group, the protein expressions of Ang-1/Tie-2, VEGF, VE-cadherin, and occludin in the medium and low-dose Yishen Huoxue prescription groups were significantly different (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the mRNA expressions of CD31 and Ang-1/Tie-2 in the high-dose Yishen Huoxue prescription group, and no significant difference in the ROS level in the medium-dose Yishen Huoxue prescription group. ConclusionThe anti-RIF effect of Yishen Huoxue prescription may be related to promoting vascular endothelial repair, regulating mitochondrial ROS to reduce oxidative stress, protecting the integrity of renal endothelial structure, delaying cell apoptosis, and maintaining cell energy metabolism.

Objective To investigate the situation of drinking water fluorosis in Tianjin, to study the benchmark dose of urinary fluoride, and to provide a reference for the formulation of the standard for urinary fluoride. Methods Three fluorosis endemic areas were selected in Tianjin, and three villages in each area were selected in this study. The water fluoride was detected, and the prevalence of dental fluorosis and the urinary fluoride of children aged 8-12 years old were investigated. Results The prevalence of dental fluorosis and urinary fluoride content in children in the villages with water fluoride exceeding the standard were significantly higher than those in the villages with water fluoride qualified, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=88.821, P<0.001; Z=6.089, P<0.001). The analysis of the prevalence of dental fluorosis in children showed that the younger the age, the lower the prevalence and severity of dental fluorosis (χ2trend=14.584, P<0.001; χ2trend= 20.525, P<0.001). There were no significant differences in the prevalence and severity of dental fluorosis among children of different genders (χ2=0.736, P=0.391; χ2=3.649, P=0.456). There were significant differences in urinary fluoride between children with different ages and genders (H=14.768, P=0.011; Z=-2.526, P=0.012). According to the level of urinary fluoride, the children were divided into 5 groups. With the increase of urinary fluoride concentration, the prevalence of dental fluorosis gradually increased and the difference was statistically significant (χ2trend=16.348, P<0.001), showing a dose-effect relationship. Based on the prevalence of dental fluorosis in children, BMDS was used to calculate the BMD and BMDL, which were 2.20 mg/L and 1.54 mg/L, respectively. Conclusion The water reform and fluoride reduction in Tianjin has achieved certain results. There is a dose-effect relationship between urinary fluoride and prevalence of dental fluorosis in children, and the reference dose value is slightly higher than the current standard, suggesting that the current standard can be updated timely.
